Chapter 37 Letter from London


    Leaving aside the pleasant experience of the two little guys, Jack and Mir.


    When it was dark, the people of the whole manor were mobilized and gathered in the sun-drying field, and the spectators had already piled up a mountain of weeds.


    How to describe it? The whole grassy hill is about ten feet high, more than three meters high, and the diameter of the base is about fifty feet. It looks like a little giant sitting on the ground, and it is still a green giant, full of various nts. Weeds, tree roots, wild flowers... These form a huge green oil painting, which is already an eye-opener for serfs who have little knowledge.


    In fact, for the well-off butler Howard, this green mountain has been seen only in his life, enough for him to brag about it in front of other low-ranking nobles for a long time.


    When Edward came, there was still a trace of shock on Butler Howard''s face. Apparently, he has only truly understood the argument of strength in numbers today.


    Edward looked at the green mountain in front of him, then at the crowd looking around, and threw a torch at the green mountain without blinking his eyes.


    The torch walked along a parabolic direction into a mountain that never returned. In an instant, the torch infected a green grass mass, turning it into a warm red, and then, like a race, the red paint traveled all over the green mountain, turning the green mountain into a red mountain. boom! The entire grassy mountain has be an erupting volcano, very imposing.


    "Oh! God! God...God!" At this moment, even though Butler Howard, who had been restrained, opened his mouth, swallowed desperately, and kept calling God, old man.


    The serfs watching on the side looked like they had seen God, their eyes were reddened by the fire, but they didn''t move their feet, while the children hid behind the adults and covered their eyes.


    Edward watched with great interest how the entire volcano went from burning to extinguishing, as if watching a dizzying performance, the whole person felt that his soul had been sublimated.


    "Hello! My dear Mr. Butler, the show is over, it''s time to wake up!" Edward patted Butler Howard on the shoulder and said in a teasing tone.


    "Yes! Yes! Your Majesty, your aristocratic demeanor is really worth learning!" Butler Howard had just returned to normal, and he couldn''t speak very clearly, and he still didn''t forget to tter Edward!


    In fact, Edward just likes courtiers like Howard, who can not only tter, but also do things. As for the direct minister who could blow up Li Shimin''s anger like Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, Edward still respected him at a distance, and he wanted to live a few more years!


    After waiting for about ten minutes, the burning nt ash had beenpletely extinguished, and the serfs who had been spectators for a while had also calmed down. As for the guys with poor psychological quality, Edward didn''t bother to pay attention to them.


    "Hey! Everyone, now is the time to need you!" Edward pointed to the ashes that had turned gray after burning, and said to the serfs.


    "You just need to pack them up and dig a hole to use as a container!"


    "Why don''t you go to work quickly, what are you doing?" Old Jack reacted instantly,manding many serfs, cursing from time to time.


    Edward was very satisfied with Old Jack''s performance, and nodded at him. Suddenly, Old Jack seemed to have taken a stimnt, his face turned rosy instantly, and his curse became more vigorous!


    Howard didn''t respond to the old Jack robbing him of his job. He followed Edward, bent slightly, and apanied Edward back to the vi.


    The next day, Edward personallymanded the serfs to open up wastnd!


    That''s right! It isnd remation. The entire Windsor Manor covers an area of ??about 20,000 acres. Except for some cultivated fields, mountains and rivers, there are nearly 8,000 acres of wilderness that can be used as arablend.


    And why didn''t Howard open it up?


    The first reason is because of the backward production tools. It is no exaggeration to say that throughout the eleventh and twelfth centuries, European serfs could only use their own hands to cultivate thend. In the fifteenth century, serfs at this time could use wooden plows and wooden hoes to plow thend, but if you want to use them to open up wastnd, then you must be prepared for poor harvests in the wheat fields.


    Basically, one person can reim one acre ofnd every month, and the newnd at that time had not been cultivated for five or six years, so there would be no harvest! In the turbulent Middle Ages, there is no peaceful day for you to open up wastnd.


    During the period of the Tudor royal family, after the baptism of the War of the Roses and the Reformation, thend waspletely sufficient. It was only when the poption erupted in theter period of Henry VIII and the development of the enclosure movement that the farmers were encouraged to open up wastnd and ntnd.


    The second point is the scarcity of poption, to be precise, the scarcity of adultbor force, which leads to theck of sufficientbor force to open up wastnd on arge scale.


    However, thebor force is small and the production tools are simple, how do you let them open up wastnd.


    Another point is that the poption demand is small, and the poption explosion period has not yet reached, and gentlemen have no desire to open up wastnd.


    Thus, Edward released a big move - Quyuanli.


    Compared with previous plows, Quyuan plow is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese farming technology.


    So Edward instructed the carpenter among the serfs to change the light shaft at this time into a curved shaft and a short shaft, and install a freely rotating plow disc on the shaft head, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also facilitates turning around and turning. , flexible operation, saving manpower and animal power.


    Secondly, the plow review and plow construction are added. Pushing the plow review can make the arrow of the plow go down, and the plowshare will go deeper into the soil. If you lift the plow, make the plow arrow upward, and the plowshare will enter the soil shallowly.


    However, if the plowmentary, plow arrow and plow construction of Quyuanli are used in an organicbination, it can meet the different requirements of deep or shallow plowing, and can standardize the adjustment of the depth of cultivatednd, which is convenient for intensive cultivation.


    The plow wall can not only break up the soil, but also push the plowed soil to one side, reducing the resistance of the plow to advance.


    In Ennd, where thend is wet and sticky, this kind of plow is most suitable. After all, it was invented in the ancient Jiangnan water town, and it is very simr to thend of Ennd.


    In just one day, the whole manor has five sets of plows. I believe that this summer, the whole manor will have 5,000 acres ofnd!


    Tired all day, Edward was just lying on the chair reading a book, when Lucy suddenly ran over and asked the Dark de to see him.


    Edward looked at the little guy in front of him suspiciously. He was wearing an old sackcloth with gaps in the cuffs. His whole body looked weaker than Edward''s.


    Said it was a little guy, but he was actually a thirteen-year-old boy.


    After seeing Edward, he knelt down and presented a sealed letter.


    Edward looked at this seal and knew it was written by Guy of London.


    "Lucy! Prepare a delicious dinner for this hard-working little guy, and reward him!" Edward was inconvenient to open and read the envelope in front of everyone, so he let Lucy leave with the little guy delivering the letter.
