"Retting... what?"
Karen was stunned. In this day and age, no one knew what "fertilizer" was - the fundamental reason why they implemented the "two-field system" or "three-field system" was that they knew nothing about the nutrients in the land and could only Foolishly wait for nature to restore its own fertility...
"It's the name the city lord told us. The mage said that the dung and those rotten stems and leaves can be turned into 'fertilizer' in the pit to nourish the crops in the land. But these dung must be treated as before. It will be boring for more than ten days, just dig it out and use it.”
"Nourishment? Can dung do this?"
Karen immediately realized that the terribly growing crops in the surrounding farmlands seemed not that simple. He pointed to one of them and asked, "Is this the effect of using...fertilizer?"
"Yes, my lord... The fertilizer is as magical as the magic of the mage! All crops, whether it is vegetables or wheat, grow bigger and faster than in previous years! If this trend continues, it is possible to produce 50% more than before. !"
"Are you sure it's the fertilizer that does the trick?"
"Really! Really!" The farmer turned around and pointed to a field on the edge, "The city lord said that it was a field for comparison, and didn't let us fertilize, and said let's see how big the difference is, you see—it's so small A circle!"
Karen glanced along, and immediately believed the farmer's words, and his heart was even more turbulent. Fertilization alone can increase the crop yield by 30%, and the "two-field system" or "three-field system" has not been implemented here. The same field is twice as much as the traditional planting method, so there is no pressure!
"Don't you need to fallow?"
"My lord mage said that there is no need to fallow! Look at these raised ridges. Lord Roddy ordered us to plant crops on the ridges this year, and let the arcane puppet plow all the ridges next year, so that the original sunken furrows It becomes a new field ridge, which is equivalent to letting the same land go fallow while planting! At that time, just spread the base fertilizer and continue planting."
The farmer didn't think it was a secret, so he said it casually. But Karen opened his mouth wide in surprise at this seemingly simple idea!
Compared with the two-field system and the three-field system, the current "field ridge system" is equivalent to the same piece of land being half cultivated and half fallow every year. In terms of method, it is indeed a level higher than the previous crappy methods—because it greatly It increases the land utilization rate, and at the same time allows farmers to weed, irrigate, and harvest more comprehensively.
"It's a genius... Even if you don't do anything, just change the way of use, and the food production can be doubled..."
Ke Lun was not only surprised by this new farming method, but the words "fertilizer", "retting", "base fertilizer", and "fertilization" in the farmers' mouths surprised him even more...
Obviously Elson not only has a high land use rate, but also the good growth of the crop itself is inseparable from the fertilizer.
In a simple calculation, this is at least three times the grain output...
three times! It takes someone to believe what you say! But he, who knows about farming, knows very well at this moment that this is almost a certainty!
"My lord, it's nothing, I'll go to fertilize first!"
Keren was awakened by the farmer's words. He quickly waved his hand to express his thanks, and then walked carefully along the fields.

Observed carefully—he was more and more startled by the same lettuce, the farmers in his own territory couldn't grow the juicy and huge lettuce in front of him at all.
"It's just that there is no river nearby, what if there is a drought..."
Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and prepared to return to the city, but just after he took two steps, he found raindrops falling on his head. He cursed a few words unluckily, but after running a few steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He raised his head, and found that the sky was still clear, but the rain was pouring down from the floating tower floating in the sky...
"Magic... magic rain?"
Karen stared blankly at the sky, and when he realized it, the rain had stopped, and the amount of rain was not too big or too small, just enough to water the crops in the field.
Is this... really the Efta I've been living in
After returning to Elson City, Karen was a little out of his mind. This day's wanderings brought him too much shock, but to his surprise, he finally got the notice of the city lord Rody's meeting after dinner.
Karen washed his face nervously, tried to smooth out the folds of his clothes, and after confirming that his image was still clean, he walked through the inner city gate under the leadership of the guards, and came with the other seven guys who were also called by Rody. Arrived at the brightly lit City Lord's Mansion.
Karen has seen many castles or manors, no matter how luxurious they are, they always give people a dark and gloomy feeling after dark. But when he walked into the corridor of the mansion, he found that everything in front of him was as bright as daytime—the magic circle illuminated on the ceiling had complicated patterns of high elves, which amazed the guys who came to the corridor together.
The other seven people wore all kinds of attire, because they came to Elson City earlier than Karen, and they seemed to be familiar with each other. From the words they chatted, Karen could roughly guess that they were originally Some of them worked as bartenders in a hotel, some worked in blacksmiths for five years, and some worked as assistants under the name of a certain pharmacist... It sounds strange, and I don't know why the Lord Santo is looking for these people.
They didn't enter the living room all at once, but were arranged by the attendants to sit on the benches in the corridor and wait one by one. Those whose names were called entered the living room to have an interview with Rody. Karen watched the people in front of them go in anxiously and come out with a happy face. They were too embarrassed to ask because they were not familiar with each other. They could only hear the mention of "Arsenal Technical Director", "Pharmaceutical Component Researcher", "Pharmaceutical Component Researcher", Words such as "captain of the city patrol team", but Karen really couldn't figure out what these positions that he had never heard of were for, and just when he was wondering, his name finally appeared in front of him.
Ke Ren straightened his clothes, no matter how poor he was now, he still had to look like a nobleman. As he approached the living room, he first saw the "Guardian" Camilla in a red robe writing at the desk, and then saw the young man sitting in the armchair who was waving at him—he hurriedly saluted, but heard The other party said, "Is it Baron Karen? Come, sit down and talk."
Although the opponent looked a few years younger than himself, he found that he was really no match for the opponent in terms of aura Thinking about it makes me shudder.
So he sat obediently in front of the armchair and answered Roddy's questions one by one.
