Chapter 295： One more spring plough

With narrow eyes squinting into March 1500, the spring ploughing work is in full swing. Before that, those prisoners of war had been supervised in the two or three months before the spring plowing and opened a new field of 3,000 Yougram, which happened to be spring plowing with the old field.

Because of the addition of 18,000 Saxon serfs and 7,000 Saxon regular infantry prisoners of war, the spring ploughing was extremely rapid. After all, that was 25,000 strong men.

In the past three months, Marin also resumed several fertilizer processing plants in an emergency and rushed out a batch of fertilizer blocks. Fortunately, the air-dried dung was prepared enough. This time, the fertilizer processing was very fast without leaving much odor. After all, those faeces have been air-dried for more than half a year. Then, these fertilizers were also used by Marin's 3,000 serf workers who were responsible for the manufacture and application of fertilizers to fertilize the fields themselves.

Alas, because of this war, many people have been meritorious. Therefore, Marin was very distressed to scatter the 10,000 Yougram land, making him sad. You know, these land closures will not be taxed in the future.

However, people have made great achievements and can't help but appreciate it. Moreover, this time the results were too brilliant, and Marin wanted to reward less. This time, Marin not only closed the field of 10,000 Eugram, but also raised the titles of Schwartz and Fronzberg to vice barons. In addition, the fourth party chief Stade was also promoted from the hereditary knight to the baron; the black shirt knight Steindorf was promoted to the baron; he was responsible for destroying the Saxon pontoon and hitting the base of the Duke of Saxony with artillery. Germany, has also become a slave baron; and Marin has a great emphasis on Sauer, Marin also found a lot of excuses to promote him to become a baron ...

I saw that the land of Wanyougram was sealed off in one of the planting seasons, and Marin felt that the monarch was not good enough. In fact, Marin was unwilling to divide the land. However, East Frisian has just stabilized now, and he cannot be separated from his generals because of the segregation of the land. Moreover, Marin already has enough labor to clear the swamps. The land of tens of thousands of Yougram, which was sealed out, can still be recovered. After all, the new land reclaimed was owned by Marin himself, and it certainly belongs to him.

For spring ploughing, the happiest person besides Marin is to count those who have tasted sweetness before. Last year's huge harvest allowed them to enjoy the benefits. For example, Schwarz and Fronzberg, the 1,000 acres of arable land that were closed last year, yielded an average of 500 pounds of rye and a total output of 6 million pounds. After Marin helped them sell half of them, they directly earned 50,000 gold coins, which made them all happy ...

You know, although an ordinary baron leader has more arable land than they can produce per mu, the total income in a year is only 10,000 gold coins, generally not more than 20,000. However, with the support of Marin, they used only a thousand acres of cultivated land to create a profit of 50,000 gold coins. What's more, they still have a lot of grain in their homes. Although, those serfs also needed a lot of food to feed, and their servants also needed a lot of food. However, it is definitely not as much as half. That is to say, half of the grain stored in the family can be saved in addition to what must be consumed. These days make them happy.

Now, the Schwartz family is living a beautiful life with pride and respect. And Frenzberger also tried to get his father to retire from the army and to take care of himself in his fiefdom. Even Frenzberg's brothers, except for the elder brother who stayed in his hometown to inherit the knight collar, everyone else came to follow him. After all, the annual income is more than 50,000 gold coins, even some poor counts can't compare. What is it to support a few family members?

They all have earned 50,000 gold coins. Adler has twice as much land as they do. Naturally, they have earned 100,000 gold coins a year ...

However, Adler was more sorrowful. Although he obtained a huge profit of 100,000 gold coins, he was confiscated by his wife Liv. And himself, he can only receive one or two coins of "pocket money" from Liv ...

Then, Liv herself, like the legendary dragon, hid in the room, covered the bed with gold coins, and rolled on the coins ...

Even those knights with only 100 Ugram land, no one's annual income reached about 5,000 gold coins, making those soldiers without enclaves extremely envious. Of course, this also stimulated their enthusiasm for rewards. Now, the martyrs of Marin are extremely strong, and they are anxious to give them an injustice like the Duke of Saxony to give them military exploits. As soon as the land is obtained, the whole family will develop immediately ...

Uh ...

Also, last year and autumn, Marin sent someone to the border between Poland and Silesia to buy 10,000 cattle from the owners of the large Polish herd (up to 50,000). The price of each cow is less than 10 gold coins, which is very cheap.

But it was just that these cattle rushed back from Silesia to East Frisian, and Marin's men took a lot of thought. Moreover, they could not pass through the territory of the Saxony aristocracy, lest they be detained.

Until years later, Marin's men did not pull the tens of thousands of cattle back to East Friesland in batches. Fortunately, there was no delay in spring ploughing. After putting the copper nose rings on the strong cattle, these cattle became a cattle farm after a little training ...

Moreover, Marin's men also made appointments with the big Polish merchants who specialize in cattle sales-buying another 20,000 cattle in the coming year. And this time, Marin did not plan to wait until autumn, but sent people to buy cattle directly after spring ploughing, even if the price was more expensive.

Because, in addition to the arable land needs of East Frisian, Marin also plans to get some cows to go to Grenada to clear the land and plant spices. The price of Polish cattle is not expensive, it is really good for nothing. Even if the cultivated land is not available, you can get some cattle to kill meat.

10,000 cows and thousands of horses in the original, plus the newly added manpower ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This spring ploughing is extremely fast. After all, only tens of thousands of horses were used to cultivate tens of thousands of Eugrams. On average, each horse was required to cultivate hundreds of acres of land. Therefore, it takes a long time, even a little too late.

这 This time, Marin used a huge lineup of 10,000 cattle and thousands of horses. On average, each animal only needed to cultivate the previous one-third amount, which led to a rapid increase in the rate of spring cultivation. Originally, it took more than one month for spring ploughing, and it was all completed in half a month.

Originally, Marin was prepared to let all prisoners of war participate in spring ploughing. However, later Marin remembered that his Qu Quli and bull nose ring seemed to be confidential technology. Therefore, Marin left only those Saxons who had become his serfs to help with spring planting. As for the 7000 Saxon infantry who will be lost in the future, in order to prevent them from seeing Qu Quli and the bull nose ring, Marin sent them directly to the swamp to dig trenches and ditch ...

他们 While they were digging trenches, Marin also organized carpenters to start building Dutch windmills. After all, even if the ditch is dug, the equipment is required to pump the accumulated water out of the marsh pool and drain it into the ditch.

In this era, there were no mechanical water pumps, manual pumping was too inefficient, and physical energy consumption was high, and food was also consumed. Therefore, it is the most economical option to pump water with a Dutch windmill that is spinning day and night. After all, no matter how big the swamp, the windmill can't stop pumping water day and night. One windmill is not enough, Marin can get a few more. Anyway, these windmills can be disassembled and moved. After this water pool has been pumped, it can be dismantled and moved to the side of another water pool to re-establish it-after the pumping, change places ...

When the marshland is transformed, Marin will have more than 100,000 acres of cultivated land, which is more than all the cultivated land combined by East Frisian Land and Baron Wadden ...
