Chapter 465 Changes
"This road is so neatly repaired. It just rained yesterday, and there is no mud on the ground." Misaier said while riding a war horse, looking at the concrete floor on the ground.
Rhodes didn't expect such a big change to happen after he was away from the territory for a few months. All the important roads were paved with a layer of cement.
It must be that the warehouse of the castle couldn't hold enough gold coins, and Baron and the others took it to recruit a lot of workers. That's why they paved so many roads with cement in such a short period of time without any machines.
Baron has changed, and he is willing to spend money.
But it doesn't seem to be his money.
"It's called cement, and it's the latest alchemy product researched in this world." Rhodes came back to his senses and said, "Cement can also be used to build houses. Building houses with cement is not only fast, but also the built houses are very strong." .”
"It should be ugly, not gray." Misel commented.
"You can put tiles or marble on the outside," Rhodes said.
Although he felt that people in this world didn't have the skill of tiling, but as long as they practiced for a while, they would definitely be able to do well, if he paid enough salary.
"Don't you need to replant rye?" Misaiel asked looking at the empty field beside the road.
It is already October now. After harvesting the wheat, farmers who do not have enough food usually choose to replant rye to survive the cold winter.
In the cities and villages that Rhodes passed through on their way, the tenacious rye was planted in the fields.
"Maybe they think that using these time to find some work will make more money than planting rye." Rhodes replied: "There are many factories in my territory, and they are still relatively short of manpower. If you work harder, Earning a little more money than farming.”
"Factory? What is this?" Michelle asked.
"It's a bigger workshop." Rhodes gave such an explanation: "There are factories that produce steel, there are also factories that produce cloth, and there are factories that produce the kind of white paper you see.
However, if you want to enter a factory that produces white paper, the conditions are a bit harsh, because producing white paper is relatively simple, and people with a little intelligence can steal this technology. "
"Is it possible that they can live well as long as they work hard every day?" Michelle asked again.
"Sure, regular workers in any factory in the territory can basically afford meat for every meal, not to mention fine flour. Fine flour like making your cake is more expensive than wheat here. Not much, even ordinary farmers can eat these every day." Rhodes replied.
"Now we don't even need to buy food from the Fish Kingdom. This year's harvest is very good. With the seeds improved by several bachelors, the yield per mu has reached [-] catties. On average, each adult man can cultivate two grains at the same time. Ten acres of land." He added.
In fact, when Rhodes heard this figure, he was very surprised. If he used wheat seeds from the past, the yield per mu would only be three to four hundred catties, but the seeds improved by Bachelor Eli would triple the yield. It has been planted with seeds that earth scientists have spent decades slowly improving.
This made Rhodes feel very relieved, so many books related to biology were not written in vain.
"Can you grow so much wheat per mu? Can I buy some of your wheat and bring it back?" Misaier asked incredulously.
"It's true. If you want, I can give you some seeds that have just been bred from this kind of wheat. If you use the fruits of the wheat we planted this year as seeds, the yield is higher than that of ordinary wheat seeds, but It must still be far inferior to these wheats," Rhodes said.
The wheat they planted this year is basically heterozygous. They are planted in the field, and these wheats pollinate each other. If the fruits they produce are used for planting, the genes and traits will definitely be different from the wheat planted this year.
And Bachelor Eli's daily job is to use magic to continuously ripen the wheat in his experimental field, and then select the ones with high yield and strong disease resistance, plant them in the field, and then continue to screen.
The general work is like this, but the actual work is much more complicated than this. In addition to these, he also needs to select some wheat for separate experiments and statistics, such as exchanging parents and then crossing.
"Did you get these seeds in the ruins?" Michel asked.
"No, these seeds can be regarded as cultivated by magic. I have written the specific principles in the book. If you want to know more, I can show you when you return to my castle." Rhode looked at the road The tall wheat on both sides said.
Seeing these wheats meant that they were not far from the castle, and now only Bachelor Eli's experimental field still had this kind of immature wheat.
"The civilians living in your territory are really happy." Missel couldn't help sighing.
"It's okay, it's just getting enough food and clothing, how can it be considered happiness?" Rhodes looked back at the soldiers following him.
"Then what else do you want? Even ordinary little nobles can't eat wheat flour and meat at every meal." Missel opened his eyes wide.
"I won't mention the spiritual and cultural aspects for the time being. I think at least the freedom of fruits and snacks can barely be considered happiness. Now the residents in my territory will feel distressed for a few days after eating some candy." Rhodes replied.
"It's too difficult. What you think will never come true." Michelle shook his head.
"I think within ten years, at least these people living in my territory will be able to live this kind of life." Rhodes replied with a smile.
Before long, an industrial revolution would break out in his territory, not relying on the steam engine, but relying on the magic core invented by the Macan people.
Relying on the magic circle that can continuously absorb the surrounding energy as the power of the magic core, it can almost be regarded as a perpetual motion machine, and it is the kind without any pollution.
The magic power core of a mechanical giant must be enough to supply the energy of a textile factory.
As long as the chief bachelors can create a device that converts the magic power output by the magic power core into mechanical energy or electrical energy based on the physical knowledge written by Rhodes.
"I don't quite believe that you can let so many people live this kind of life." Michelle shook his head.
"Just wait and see, anyway, you and I won't be thirty yet." Rhodes said while pointing to the castle in the distance: "We're almost there."
"Is your castle built with cement? Why does it look so gray?" Michelle asked.
Having said that, Rhodes was also taken aback after looking at it carefully: "Maybe they are going to decorate the outer wall."
