It has been two days since the huge team arrived in Novgorod, and the city has become extremely lively.

This is an exceptionally sunny morning, even early risers can feel the warmth of spring.

In fact, the temperature at night is still below freezing, which causes amazing ice icy under the eaves of every household every morning.

Bingling is dangerous, early risers will knock it off, and when the sun rises high enough, the wooden eaves will begin to trickle.

The whole world is thawing. When the land becomes dry enough, spring plowing will begin. There is not much time left before farming.

These days Rurik feels like the donkey of the production team. Busy farming, busy organizing immigration, but also calculating time and climate

He didn't stay in Novosibirsk for a few days at all, and this time he returned to Novgorod, back to the parliamentary court here.

Rurik sits in the main hall, and people who have the right to participate in the meeting sit on both sides.

They are the officers of the First Banner Team, some old guys from the Second Banner Team, and the master farming and craftsmen in the city.

The old Otto and the local governor Medvete are both present, and Carlotta is also among them.

Today's meeting discusses everything related to farming, but at first glance it looks like a military meeting.

Rurik didn't make much preparation for this meeting, but decided some things that must be done, even if it was a preaching, he came with open mouth.

"It seems that everyone is here. I won't say anything polite. Let's go straight to the topic. Today! We are talking about farming events! Starting this year, Rose’s young adults will bring their family members to emigrate here on a large scale. I decided to live in the Old Pine Needle Manor. A new settlement will be built there to settle the immigrants. The First Banner Team will have priority to enjoy the land there. When the snow melts, we will go over and delimit the fields of each family..."

This is to repeat the policy, so that the brothers of the First Banner can really prepare for it.

He went on to preach: "We in Ross will be good at farming when we come. I found that the local people just claim to be good at using land, but in fact they only have a rough grasp. You can clearly produce high yields, and poor technology limits the output. I am not talking about the Ross people. Just be good at farming. In my opinion, the farming methods that all of us have known in the past are backward. Now it is different. I will directly interfere with your farming actions and let your random seeding behavior end forever. !"

Everyone thought that Rurik was repeating something that had been negotiated in the past at this meeting. how? He also teaches everyone to farm?

He is a person blessed by God, should he get the wisdom of farming from God, right? It is a great thing if it is so.

The words are mainly aimed at the White Tree Manor, which is currently the main population of Novgorod. The elected masters of farming entered the venue, and they came arrogantly, but the prince confronted him and criticized him for not knowing how to farm.

Self-esteem is frustrated, but the prince should be able to teach everyone new skills.

"Then, Rurik, how will you guide us..." Rigus asked in a hoarse voice. Here he is very old, and he is also the old man of Rurik, and he is also an old fellow who has been rolling around for a lifetime. His inquiry represents all the people of Novgorod.

Rurik stretched out his hand to quiet the agitated people.

"Years ago, a batch of Quyuan plows arrived here, and you started plowing efficiently. I noticed that your grain output has increased, but it is very limited. In recent years, more agricultural tools have entered here, and the situation has not changed. , All of this is because you don’t know that there are better planting techniques and tools."

"Is there a better way? There are better tools? For example, let... the deer plow you bring?" Rigus asked again in amazement.

"Deer! Naturally they need to pull plows. They are very reliable. Reclaiming the land is just loosening the soil, and then there are ways to plant seeds. You used to men, women and even children, holding wooden pots full of seeds, lined up after reclaiming It’s so stupid that you are wasting seeds seriously. You are not allowed to do this from this year. I want you to sow the seeds into a line after another."

Spread into a thread? how so? What's the point?

Lurik described them in Gnostic and Slavic languages, and everyone's doubts were all on their expressions.

"I know you are puzzled, but it is necessary. You can understand that our troops are always lined up to meet the enemy, and we stand neatly, so we always win. On the other hand, the enemy always stands in a mess. , Was easily defeated by us. Why is that? Because our soldiers stand neatly, no one can exert their abilities. So I want all the wheat seedlings to line up like soldiers, so that we can fully obtain the power of the sun. Oh, yes, I’m afraid You still don’t know why the wheat grows."

Arik listened for a long time, but he was boring and boring when it was purely farming, and the guy mentioned the soldier's position in an instant.

He interrupted while the younger brother was calm: "You said that if you put the wheat seedlings in line like soldiers, you must start from planting seeds."

The cousin interjected to integrate his thoughts, "Yes! I plan that when the plowshares cut a groove, the seeds will be scattered in it, and we will cultivate the soil and sow the soil at the same time. This will greatly save our time. At least you know, The time for planting is very important to us, and we cannot and dare not delay it."

Everyone knows this description. Since the soil plowing and planting began at the same time, it is considered a pioneering effort, that is, directly planting in the groove. The people of White Tree Manor have not done this in the past few years with the Quyuan Plow.

"Don’t think that you can sow the seeds and you can wait for the autumn harvest. I know you do some weeding at most, except that you don’t care much about the fields. These behaviors are stupid! When you raise cattle and chickens Also worry about whether the poultry and livestock are sick, such as neglecting the seedlings when planting the land? You don’t even know how the wheat grows and how to scion."

Speaking of excitement, he pointed his finger to the sky: "The sun gives us the power of the sky. It is the incarnation of Odin and Peron. It is the sun that makes the young wheat grow. If there is not enough sunlight, the wheat will head late."

He pointed to the earth again: "The mother of the earth also has great power, whether it is wheat or cabbage, there should be flax stalks, reeds by the river, and pine trees everywhere. Their rhizomes must absorb the power of the earth. In different regions, the earth contains The powers of the people are also different, and this is the difference between good fields and poor fields."

This kind of theological explanation simply and roughly explains why the wheat grows. No one has ever made this explanation before! Rurik's identity is extraordinary, everyone believes that he must have said that all this is the origin!

Those master farmers have realized the influence of sunlight, rain, and the earth on the growth of wheat. As a result, the priests of the farm did not give any explanation. They all said that "the amount of goods received depends on the will of God", but the result is completely complete. See the sky for dinner.

Only Rurik has made a set of explanations that can be justified in history. There are naturally some elements of weird power that he deliberately added in this, but if the so-called "power of the gods" is understood as the laws of nature, everything makes sense.

They are all illiterate. The native Slavs have their own language, but they don't have any text available. At most, they are abstract pictures that represent meaning. The Nordic Luen script used by Ross and the Varangans is already advanced, and Rurik is already teaching Ross's cubs to read and write Latin.

Tell them that the root system absorbs nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to thrive. This is the book of heaven.

He explained: "We are born as human beings, and existence itself is blessed by God. Since wheat is matured by the power of the sky and the earth, what we depend on for survival is also the power of the sky and the earth. Then our feces are not complete. The stench is useless, there is some power in it, and they can nourish the wheat seedlings."

This explanation seems to make sense, but it just talked about the word "feces", which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

A person who accidentally guessed the dung will be ridiculed by his companions. It is ridiculous that Lord Prince actually said that dung is still a treasure.

Rurik also had to smile and stay calm, waiting for them to gradually shut up.

"This is the fact. We eat wheat, and wheat seedlings eat dung soil. Also, the rotten reeds also contain power. If these smelly lake mud are brought into the field, the wheat seedlings will grow better. We regard them as smelly things. It's a delicious meal of wheat seedlings. Ask yourself, can you refuse barbecue?"

Some people with great savvy have had an epiphany, such as Carlotta, such as Medvedt.

Those master farming experts are even more brainstorming. Some people stand up happily: "The prince! I understand! When the wheat seedlings grow in a line, we can walk through the field freely. We can pour some buckets full of sticky dung, Pour these... hahaha... these stinky things on the roots. The wheat... the mouth can eat the dung and grow better?"

Someone was enlightened, and Rurik was overjoyed.

But this description is even more funny, with endless laughter.

When the atmosphere stabilized a bit, Rurik asked urgently: "You are right. What is your name!"

"Mstidar Uglivic."

"Very well, Mstidal, I recognize your face now. Wait, I have invited you..." Rurik will look at these invited "farmers". Their other identity is local. carpenter.

They are recognized as farming masters directly related to their status as carpenters. In a period of extreme lack of iron, the wooden shovel and plow they made were the best local farming tools, and of course the effect of their use was far inferior to the iron farming tools provided by the Ross people.

"I remember that you are all carpenters. Mstidal, you can't leave after the meeting. All of you carpenters stay here, and I want you to do some important things for me."

Being able to be selected by the prince will surely get a lot of benefits immediately. Mstidal is also a half-old man. His son has been fighting for this young prince and has already earned a lot of spoils. As a result, can he use it more?

He shouted the greatness of the prince, and sat down again with a smile.

"You should all find this. There will be many narrow aisles in the neat wheat seedlings. It will be very easy for you to weed. You don't have to worry about trampling on the wheat seedlings. It is also easy to spread the manure. People need to drink water, and your cattle, sheep and chickens also Drink water, and wheat must drink water! I know that you didn't water the wheat fields before, which is wrong. You can't count on rain completely. When the weather is dry, we will take water from the lake to ensure that the wheat is not short of water.

I can promise you that as long as the wheat fields that act in accordance with our resolution, the harvest will increase by half this year! You will pay more taxes, and you will get more output. In this way, you don't have to work hard to open up new land and develop existing farmland to increase production. This is the lowest cost method. "

Rurik said a lot, everyone was completely stunned by his profound words, as if the **** of agriculture was preaching to the peasants in the soil.

It is stupid to attribute all the gains to the gods, and they believe this, and Rurik is scheming.

He reiterated: "God casts wisdom to the world and gives power to individual people. That is me. I have the responsibility to guide you to explore the wisdom hidden by God, so that everyone can live better and better. In my opinion, spring ploughing is fast. Soon, as long as the warmth lasts for a few more days, we should plant the seeds. Rigus, are you ready for your planting?"

"appropriate."

"Very good. Your land has been surveyed and mapped. I hope you will plant seeds according to my method. Don't worry, I will invent a planting tool, and planting will become a very easy task."

Seeding tool? People with sharp ears sat upright.

Rurik has explained from a philosophical level why the wheat grows and matures. There are more theoretical explanations and practical proofs.

Any preaching is not as good as letting the farmers see the increase in production straightforwardly, but they had no new operations before, and Rurik knew that in order to convince them, he had to make a big show-the prince's pro-farming.

"I will cultivate in the fields of the old pine needle manor, and also in Novgorod. I will use new tools, plowshares to turn the soil, tools to sow the seeds into the grooves, and the last tool to bury the seeds. ."

Everyone was muttering what kind of new tool this would be.

The meeting finally dissipated. Since Rurik is the representative of the gods, he said that according to the new method of farming can produce high yields, this is by no means ridiculous.

Rigus and Medved walked out happily, and the father and son discussed the possible beauty of autumn, and then hurriedly checked the prepared grain.

Carlotta is even more hopeful. She has a large amount of oats in her hand and a small part of wheat supported by Rurik (experimental). She already understood the new farming elements mentioned by Rurik, and wrote them directly on the paper in Latin vocabulary.

More than a dozen old farmers were deliberately left behind, and they all yearned to see the miracle of an unprecedented bumper harvest immediately.

Rurik did show a miracle, that is, he suddenly took out a roll of paper and unfolded it as a mechanical structure.

Real carpenters can make spatial drawings in their minds, even if they have not received training, this is the stacking of experience that allows them to directly supplement the entire processing technology.

Rurik's picture is not complicated, the principle is to transform the existing curved plough.

A wooden funnel is installed behind the plowshare, and a wooden pipe leads directly to the lowest point parallel to the plowshare, so that the grains of wheat leak out and fall into the groove behind the reclamation.

At the back end of the funnel, there is an inclined wooden pole connected to a baffle, which acts as a shovel to move the soil to cover the seeds.

The three of them are one, and the entire planting process at first glance, it is nothing more than the combination of human and animal forces pulling the plow for many years in the field of ploughing, and walking back and forth one after another.

Rurik asked them to look at the picture first, and then he held a wooden stick and pointed at the picture before preaching.

Whether they are master farmers or carpenters, they are proper intellectuals in Novgorod, and they themselves are the elites to be firmly wooed.

"I will gather the plows of the entire farm, as well as the ones I brought back recently. I may gather a hundred curved plows, and you will all rebuild them. I know this is not a big problem for you, and it will take some time before the ice and snow completely melt. . I don’t want to hear that the time is too tight to complete. I will pay you a large reward. You only need to complete the transformation of a plow and I pass the inspection, and you will get...five silver coins. Think about it. Look, you all might get a half pound of silver as a reward."

Needless to say any more words, they were shocked by Rurik's payment, and with their unstoppable smiling faces, the group of old guys seemed to be crazy.

The combined use of plows and seeders, which was done in the East for hundreds of years, and the use of irrigation and farmyard manure, ensured that a large harvest of 50 seeds for one seed is possible, unlike the traditional Slavs, where all nine The century is still a terrible output of changing five or six children.

Rurik was confident, and he felt that he was indeed the **** of agriculture. In this way, the locals skipped a long period of agricultural development, and suddenly began to be exposed to intensive farming techniques, even if they learned a little fur, they were much better than before. Of course, the cold climate here is destined to limit the upper limit of growth.

Even if they learn awkwardly at the beginning, as long as they start to implement it, it will be a huge leap from before. Their agriculture was extremely backward in the past, and there is no need to worry about what they will lose.

The carpenter started to move, using a lot of tools provided by Rurik. They Ding Ding Dong Dong began to rebuild Quyuan Plow on a large scale, and they even carried out an unprecedented night battle for the reward of silver coins.

In a short period of time, the first modified plow was produced! Its structure is actually very compact. The wooden "leak" of the seed is almost attached to the rear of the ploughshare. There is also a wooden clapboard mechanism to control the speed of the seed falling Since the parts are produced separately and in mass production, The carpenters make one kind of parts separately, and when the transformed plow is assembled and fixed to the first one, the following products will be produced continuously.

Although there has not been a large-scale experiment, Rurik has personally verified its reliability in the wooden shed.

Next, we just waited for the plows to be transformed, the ice and snow melted, Lake Ilmen was completely thawed, and the land became dry again.

Rurik was already in his chest.

In the past few days, he is not merely instructing the craftsmen. He has specially written some documents, which together are a set of books to teach the Ross people how to grow the land.

He wrote four copies in Luenvenos, Romanized Gnoss, Romanized Slavic, and Latin, and asked his wives and concubines to copy them for future distribution.

This will first benefit the Ross immigrants, most people can understand Luen Wen. As for the local Slavs, the soldiers of the Slavic flag team have been misplaced in some words, and they can understand them even if they want to.

Of course, they all understand pictures! Rurik almost drew some cartoons, which were actually "farmers' farming pictures," making his wife and concubine more like a gourd painting.

This is already a document with the nature of "Agricultural Economics", and he once again felt that he needed a wood type printing machine.
