Chapter 206 206. I just want to make the world more pleasing to the eye
The former priest’s physical fitness is quite good.
Although Rhea lost so much blood, she suddenly woke up in just half an hour. After taking a sip of the broth given by her companion, she planned to start the task assigned by Croya.
He was indeed confident and motivated, and felt that he had experience, but the whole process was not as smooth as he imagined.
The reason for the failure does not even come from the environment or the people living here, but from... the apprentices sent by Hanjiao Island.
In a house, opposite him sat the apprentice Jamie, and the two were arguing about one thing:
“I don’t think we should do this.”
Jay Mi didn't have any good feelings towards the guy who almost assassinated his respected mentor and benefactor.
Besides, Croya has promised to "cooperate", so of course he can freely use the methods and methods.
So he unceremoniously questioned Rhea's plan.
Of course, it is reasonable to question it.
He said: "If everything is arranged, then why should we use people for what we do? Wouldn't it be better to just use the golem?"
What Jamie cares about is Rui Asia's methods of clearing and cultivating land.
Riya's method is: send people to supervise the work, and just let the farmers work without thinking about anything.
Just send one person to arrange the subsequent farming matters. This is the consistent practice of the Mother Earth Church, which can minimize the consumption of manpower.
But Jamie felt that this was in very serious conflict with Croya’s usual arrangement method, because Croya had always set a goal and let them learn and work hard on their own.
He believes that Croya's method should be followed in these matters. This is the most correct way.
But Rhea was very surprised.
The former priest opened his eyes wide: "Will Lord Croya agree? This will be very troublesome and will consume more manpower and material resources.
And the method of fertilizing the fields is not Suitable for ordinary people.”
This is a very pertinent advice, because this is indeed the case. Even the Church of the Mother Earth, which has always promoted harvests and farming, has never thought of passing on some knowledge to ordinary people.
In other words... they have no way to pass on more knowledge to ordinary people.
"Since your lord has given me full authority to take charge, no matter what it is, as long as we can make a result, your lord will not care."
After Jamie finished explaining, he stared at Rhea After looking at it, he suddenly asked curiously: "What is the method of fertilizing the fields you mentioned?"
"Use magic power." Rhea briefly introduced the method passed down by the Mother Earth Church: " You can irrigate the earth with water containing magical power, and then bury some magic beans and plants to achieve the effect of fertilizing the fields.”
This knowledge actually involves some secrets of the Holy See, such as. Which magic plant combination is more beneficial to the field?
The output of fields and food is something that all countries care about, so what he said was a betrayal of the church in a sense.
If someone reports him now, a Judgment Knight will immediately come out and kill him.
However, Jamie didn’t pay much attention to what he said, and just continued to ask:
“Have you ever thought that you can use animal and human excrement to make fertilizer? The effect of fertile fields? ”
"!!!"
Riya's pupils instantly shook, and her expression twisted.
He blurted out instinctively: "How can those filthy things do it? They can only defile the body of Mother Earth and defile the pure and sacred fields!"
"..."
< br>Jamie almost said something inappropriate, but luckily he held it back.
“But this is what Master Croya said.” Jamie explained: “Master Croya has explained that if you want to turn the vast fields into fertile soil that can grow crops, this method is considered The less expensive method.”
This is indeed what Croya once said.
Because the outside world is different from Hanjiao Island. The latter can rely on the accumulation of various magic powers to achieve a perfect magic field, but the outside world cannot use this method.
The magic power that covers the vast fields outside... is really an astronomical number. Moreover, the crops grown in the outside world are mostly basic crops and do not rely much on magic power.
Magic power is a kind of nutrient for them, which is needed but not necessary.
So Croya thought hard and found some methods of fertilizing the fields in his memory - the simplest method is to combine farmyard manure with some fertile crops.
He didn't know whether the magic beans plants in this world could fulfill the role of fertilizing the fields, so he wanted to try a combination of planting.
That is, using a magic plant crop that can fertilize the field as the core, plant more crops nearby.
But how to complete this combination is the task he assigned to Jamie.
At this time, Jamie didn’t even know that the priest in front of him knew the specific quantity and combination.
After hearing that this was a task assigned by Croya, the former priest temporarily gave up some of his dislike of "farmer's manure".
He thought carefully and suddenly felt that if this was true, it would be very difficult to put it into practice.
For example...
"How to collect it?" Rhea said helplessly: "Animal feces is okay, but how to collect human feces?"
"Is it necessary? Shall we pick it up?”
"..."
Jamie showed a strange expression again.
He asked doubtfully: "Don't you know the toilet?"
While saying this, he looked the former priest up and down, wondering if this guy really didn't go to the toilet. Inside?
Could it all be solved in the grass on the roadside? That's too dirty. Even the five or six-year-old children on Hanjiao Island wouldn't do that.
"Of course I know." The former priest was very angry at such a look and retorted: "But..."
Just as he was about to say something, something suddenly flashed in his mind He had an idea and said with a surprised look on his face: "Do you guys build separate toilets for everyone?"
He never thought of the concept of public toilets from beginning to end.
For some reason, Jamie suddenly felt some inexplicable sense of superiority, so he described some of the infrastructure built by Croa to Rhea.
The latter was in disbelief at first, then shocked, and in the end only admiration remained in his heart.
"Is Master Croya actually... actually willing to build such facilities for ordinary people?"
He really couldn't imagine the existence of such things as public toilets, bathrooms and canteens.
It stands to reason that he is well-informed, but even the Holy See’s Codex Country has not done this kind of thing, and you can even see some of them everywhere on the street... Well.
He just imagined the scene in his mind - neat and clean streets, people without odor and dirt, and a place where he could buy food at will.
That feeling made him restless and excited.
“Can I go to Hanjiao Island to have a look?”
Riya rubbed her hands eagerly, wanting to see with her own eyes what Croya’s territory looked like.
“No.” Jamie refused decisively.
But he added: "If you do things well, Lord Croya should agree."
As soon as these words came out, a flash of light flashed in Rhea's eyes. The light of expectation.
"Then follow Master Croya's arrangements."
"We can build... a public toilet first."
"After that, I know some magic plants that can help field crops grow. Lord Croya, please find some."
As he said that, he put one hand on his chest and saluted: "I can only leave the job of teaching and imparting knowledge to the residents of the Seagull Territory. Know what the specific situation is like. "
Once he accepts this task, he is also a priest, and his best thing is preaching and arranging work, and of course he can do it well.
Jamie nodded: "I understand."
Although he is still dissatisfied with this guy, when it comes to serious matters, he will definitely take the initiative to communicate and cooperate with the other party.
Everything is to fulfill Croya's order.
……
After the two people completed their discussion.
This is how the renovation plan for the seagull collar began.
What needs to be mentioned here is: the original lord of the Seagull Territory, a baron, has been sent to an island in the offshore area by Croya and other lords. There was accommodation and land prepared for them on that island, as well as a sufficient supply of food, and even some entertainment programs. The only flaw was that there was no freedom.
Kloya will never allow them to stay in their respective territories. If it affects what he wants to do, it will be very troublesome.
So for now, Jamie and Rhea are the bosses here, and of course no one will stop them from what they want to do.
At first, the farmers did not understand what those white houses standing at the intersection were, nor did they understand the significance of building them.
In their opinion, this house is even more gorgeous than the place where they live, and some even doubt whether this house is for noble mages to live.
After these words were heard by the mage apprentices who were working hard on the construction, they simply didn't know what to say. Besides being funny, they were also a little sad and lucky.
The funny thing is that they regard the toilet as their residence; the sad thing is that if Croya hadn't taken them in; maybe they would have had such doubts. Fortunately, they can help these people now.
The apprentices are all in their teens. After receiving Croya's education, they inevitably have some unrealistic aspirations and naive fantasies.
For example, they really want the northern land where they were born to look like the Hanjiao Island built by Croa.
These are not inconsistent with their maturity.
Cloya even had some approval of their seemingly unrealistic fantasies. He often felt that the level of civilization in this world was extremely fragmented.
On one side is a wonderful and great magical civilization, on the other side is an environment that is even worse than the Middle Ages in memory - it can even be said to be barbaric.
It’s not that he is such a saint and wants to change the world, but that he wants to transform the world into something more pleasing to the eye.
At least he won't see people walking in the grass when he goes for a walk on the roadside, let alone find something disharmonious when he sees some beautiful scenery and wants to take a closer look.
This is also a very difficult thing, so he needs people to help, and these magicians who studied under his education are the best helpers.
The apprentices are also following Croya's instructions.
So they would not think it would be insulting to build a toilet for a group of ordinary people.
With their efforts, the toilet was quickly built.
When they told the farmers what the toilet was for, they were stunned to the point of being stunned.
“Toilet?”
“Master Master, will you build a toilet for us?”
“By God, is this true?”
Farmers We carefully entered the toilet and saw the spotless floors and walls, and then saw the classic long row of squatting pits.
There is water flowing in it, which was picked up by the apprentices from a distance. Just set up a small magic power mechanism, and a six-pointed star magic crystal can be used for several months.
The pipeline below was built by a team of thieves and wind-eroded sandworms, and will be washed into a pool for easy access.
“It’s so clean.”
“How does this work?”
“Can we really use it?”
Facing cautious inquiries from farmers, an apprentice simply demonstrated how to use it himself - of course, it was just a pretense, and nothing really happened in front of everyone.
"You've seen it all, you just need to squat here and..."
"Like this again..."
The apprentice's face was a little red, but he was still detailed. Describes how to use it.
After his demonstration, the farmers immediately felt that a new world had opened and they couldn't wait to try it.
For a time, all the pits were occupied.
Obviously the farmers did not talk about the embarrassment of going to the toilet face to face, and even discussed it with interest.
Hmm...the scene and the taste.
After a brief observation, the apprentices covered their noses and left the toilet, quickly leaving, ready to continue construction elsewhere.
According to the plan, at least fifteen toilets must be built to meet the needs of Seagull Territory.
As for if it is needed again later, it will be up to the farmers to build it themselves. It is only reasonable to rely on their own labor to get paid.
……
At the same time, on the other side.
The Terai River flows gurglingly, bringing magical moist water vapor to the Tuanchi on both sides.
In the field, Rhea, who was carrying a hoe, was carefully planting several magical plants called "Tube Beans" bought by Cloya in the center of the field.
This kind of magic plant is the magic plant he asked Cloya to buy. It is one of the magic plants used by the Holy See to fertilize the fields.
It is not edible, but the tumors on the roots will grow very large and can exist in the soil for a long time.
Although the Holy See does not know why they fertilize the fields, it has been using them.
And Jamie was also busy around with his apprentices.
According to Cloya's request, the preliminary plan is to use three acres of land as a test to see the effect of the magic plant fertilizer field, and then expand the area.
Of course, the rest of the land is also being reclaimed one after another, with the help of worker bees and golems there.
Now the Terai River will never overflow, nor will it wash away the fields on both sides, so it is best to reclaim land directly along the river.
The fields were planted with corn and potatoes that Chloe bought from Estner. These two are the most common staple foods and are included in most meals.
It was the first time for the apprentices to grow these common crops. They were a little uncomfortable at first because they thought these crops were too "delicate".
These corn seeds need to be soaked in water first, and they need to wait until they germinate before being sown in the land. It also depends on the weather and temperature, and the thickness of the soil when planting...
Potatoes are similar, very troublesome.
To be honest, they have planted a lot of magic plants on Hanjiao Island, so they are not so embarrassed at all.
Because the magic plant's requirements for the environment are more about magic power, the concentration of magic power in the environment of Hanjiao Island can be said to be a paradise for magic plants, and it doesn't require any effort at all.
You don’t even have to worry about when to sow, nor the depth of the soil.
Corn and potatoes are so delicate in comparison!
But what they didn't know was that, not to mention they were shocked, even Rhea, the priest of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, looked confused - Is this really the corn and potatoes I planted?
Riya didn’t dare to ask, thinking it was some brand-new technology. It was already amazing that Croya could show mercy to him. How could he still have any doubts?
Both parties didn't know that these were actually some memories of Croya's previous life. In fact, he didn't know whether this method would work in this world, so he had to test it.
It is because of this that the reclamation and planting of fields are progressing steadily under the tangled and strange circumstances of both parties.
It was surprisingly smooth.
In just a few days, with the experimental field as the center, an endless field measuring a hundred acres was formed on both sides of the Terai River.
The golem was busy in the fields with the people, planting all the corn and potatoes.
Although it still looks like a dark land now, in the near future, it will become lush and green, full of corn and potatoes.
The farmers strictly followed Cloya's requirements and used farmyard manure and river water flowing from the beaver dam to irrigate the land in an appropriate amount.
Every day, apprentices send soil to the laboratory on Hanjiao Island for testing, allowing plants with emotions to sense whether the land is suitable for taking root.
This kind of work will continue until the most suitable data is obtained.
Cloya also arranged for some magical beasts such as black-feathered chickens to patrol the fields to prevent insects from threatening these fresh sprouts.
They hold their heads high like generals. They have no desire for the fresh sprouts. They stare at the little bugs with their eyes and give them a thunderous peck whenever they see them.
With their help, naturally no insects can threaten the new shoots.
Humans, golems and monsters all work together harmoniously in this field, taking care of the small, new buds.
They all look forward to these crops growing up smoothly.
Time passes slowly.
One morning, a dusty team arrived at this field.
The leader is a young man with golden hair. The breeze blows his hair like undulating wheat waves.
Thank you guys for your monthly votes and recommendation votes,... there will be more updates next month!
