The Rise of Iceland

　　 The establishment of Viking Thunder gave Hadar and others the right and supreme status. At the same time, it also made the Vikings composed of vested interest groups-all ethnic groups grateful and extremely loyal to the leader Hadar.

In addition to Icelanders, a small number of English white slaves, a larger number of Scottish white slaves and the majority of Irish white slaves are the lowest in society, whether they are in their hometown or in Vinland. They have no status, no dignity, and precarious lives. In many cases, even eating a full meal is a luxury.

But now because the men of the family followed the master Hadar to conquer the savages, and then established meritorious services, now they have become free people with status, wealth and slaves. They all know that everything they get is based on the Viking Ray of Hadar. Be on top, built on the kindness of the compassionate Lord Hadar.

　　 Freedmen of Beotuk and Freedom of Ekismo, not to mention, the gratitude for Hadar’s adoration is even harder to express.

These free people have become Vikings. If they have the ability and make contributions, they will have the opportunity to become production team captains and even Atang oars leader and other leading roles. They don’t want to lose everything they have already gained, so they do their best to maintain Ha Dar's rule maintains the correctness and greatness of the Viking Raidan system.

　　 After a winter rain, Wenlan became colder and colder, but when the Viking militia went out, rye, barley, oats, vegetables and other crops were all harvested, so there is no need to worry about the impact on the ration.

　　Yote found after calculations that the food harvest this year plus the accumulated dried fish and meat are enough to support next spring, but everyone will be living in a tight situation.

　　 But Yotte also discovered that after each Atang turned over half of the harvest to the city treasury, the other Atangs divided the grain into each family and lived their lives carefully. It is estimated that saving a little can also survive the winter.

　　 But Olaf’s Atang is different from other Atangs.

　　 They turned in a lot of food and vegetables. This was the share required when the seven Atangs were established. The rest is only enough for more than 100 people to eat for more than two months, which is less than the other atangs.

　　 But Yot found that Olaf’s Atang people were all smiling. After careful observation, he found that these people had gotten a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

In the summer of this year, Olaf was engaged in potato and sweet potato planting. At that time, Yotte and others also knew that these two foods were edible, especially potatoes to prevent poisoning, but they did not know the output of these two foods, so Just treat it as a child fooling around, not taking it seriously.

　　 Now more than three months have passed, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes of nearly five acres of land reclaimed by Olaf on both sides of the Musk Ox River have ushered in a bumper harvest.

These huge gains don’t have to be handed in, so Olaf gave one-third to the eighty or ninety old people of Atang, who followed him at the earliest, and then gave one-tenth of the remaining gains to the newcomers. More than a hundred people.

After the distribution, Olaf’s two branches of Atang’s people received dozens of pounds of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the elderly of Atang received more than 200 pounds. These foods were enough for these families to support a winter. This made them They were all very satisfied, and took them home after thanking Olaf.

After finding Olaf and asking about it, Yotte learned that five acres of land had harvested more than 40,000 pounds of potatoes and 30,000 pounds of sweet potatoes. Although the water content is relatively high, the 70,000 pounds of ration slices should also be dried. More than 10,000 pounds, this is enough food to feed forty to fifty people for a year.

　　 There are only more than 5,000 acres of arable land reclaimed in Herut City, but the food is full and only enough to feed 2,000 people, but now Olaf can feed 40 people with five acres of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

　　Yote was shocked by a simple calculation. His scalp was numb, his heart was beating wildly, and he thought to himself: If potatoes and sweet potatoes are planted on these farmland, we don't need to worry about a famine in Wenlan!

　　 More than 5,000 acres are enough to feed forty-five thousand people, plus the rations of dried fish, dried meat, vegetables and other foods. If used properly, it will definitely be able to feed tens of thousands of people next year! And the climate in the southern part of Wenlan is pretty good. Are you afraid that you will have nothing to eat if you reclaim tens of thousands of acres?

Yotte, who had figured out how to solve the ration problem, was very happy to find Hadar. Hadar knew that his son's experimental field had a good harvest, so he ordered Olaf to divide the remaining 37,000 pounds. All potatoes and sweet potatoes were collected for public use, and then 7,000 pounds were allocated to the 1,000 Duojing people for food, and the rest was dug into a large cellar for storage. It is planned to be planted on a large scale in Wenlan next spring to completely improve the troubled Vikings. People’s food rations.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are rich in starch. This is one of the best foods in the world today. It has an excellent taste and can add calories. The Vikings are very satisfied after eating, and they are pleasantly surprised when they learn about this year's harvest. , I have great confidence in the harvest next year.

However, this year Olaf planted a bumper harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Not only was the production of potatoes and sweet potatoes high, but also the soil on both sides of the river was rich in nutrients, and Olaf also concentrated fermented the dung of his Atang slaves, and then planted potatoes and sweet potatoes. After the sweet potatoes were fertilized twice.

The mysterious technology of making farmyard manure from the Far East made most people sneered when they saw it. It is incomprehensible. However, this time the harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes, Yotte also asked in detail about the production and benefits of farmyard manure. He has made up his mind next spring. Farmyard manure should also be used to fertilize the land when planting.

　　 Olaf experimented with planting sweet potatoes and potatoes to solve the problem of rations that have plagued the East and the West for thousands of years.

If the father grows potatoes and sweet potatoes on a large scale in Wenlan, a large amount of labor will be liberated while guaranteeing food rations, so that they can carry out military training and develop handicraft, processing, mining and other industries. The population rapidly develops industries, builds industries, and improves the national foundation. It is in the strongest first echelon in North America.

　　 Hadar was very appreciative of Olaf’s ideas. He felt that Olaf’s help, it was really not an illusion that he seized Vinland and even found a nation in North America.

　　 While more than 10,000 people in Herut City were discussing the huge production of potatoes and sweet potatoes, the Arctic Ocean cold current swept across North America.

　　 After November entered, the winter rain still drifted from time to time. Although the weather was cold, Hadar and others were unwilling to carry it in the castle. Every day they led a full-capacity Viking militia for training and hunting.

　　 Since the former militiamen, auxiliary soldiers and even samurai have become free people, this team has been re-adjusted.

　　 All the white men and some of the previous savages were promoted to musketeers~www.novelmt.com~ enough to make up 300 people, and then all the muskets in Hadar Fort were put into use.

The remaining 700 Beotuk Vikings and Ekismo Vikings were transformed into spearmen. At the same time, fifty savages and samurai slaves were selected as scouts, and thirty white men were used as artillery to cooperate with the large forces. .

In addition, the earliest 60 Icelanders were freed from the Musketeers. Thirty were captains of various sizes. Thirty were Hadar’s guard knights. Although the horses of the entire city of Herut are now There are only more than forty horses, and the good varieties are less than 20 horses, but as long as you wait for two years, you can produce enough vehicles for more than 30 knights.

　　While self-development, leaders such as Hadar also plan to continue to use Vinland specialties such as fur, royal jelly, and wine to exchange for wealth in Europe next spring, and once again buy large quantities of arms and equipment, white slaves, and livestock.

With the support of the huge savage slaves of Wenlan, there are endless furs, grapes, maple sugar, cod, whales and other resources that can be plundered, and there is a vast land to cultivate. Everyone thinks that it may not be possible to build Wenlan in five or six years. Become a capital no worse than Iceland.

Half a month after Hadar unified Wenlan and returned to the city in triumph, another rain in early winter turned into snowflakes and hail after two hours, slowly covering the mountain plains of Wenlan with white yarn .

This time the cold air was very strong, and the rain and snow did not stop until the third afternoon. Then the temperature in Groot city dropped greatly from before. Although the ice and snow on the land slowly melted under the sun, Olaf He could feel that the air temperature was close to zero. He breathed a sigh of relief, then closed the wooden window of his room, and sighed: "This year's severe winter has come, and it may be even colder than last year!"
