Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Wheat Harvest

After a few days, Grayson returned again to Lynn’s village.

As he had said before, he brought Lynn fifty thousand pounds of barley and twenty thousand pounds of peas.

Barley and peas are the most common grains in the Karedi Empire.

They are widely planted and inexpensive.

After Lynn gave Grayson two thousand pounds of fine salt, he happily left the village.

Lynn needed more food.

After all, Lynn promised they would not only have three meals a day but also no longer suffer hunger!

Such a large population consumes nine hundred pounds of grain and over a hundred pounds of meat each day.

Fortunately, oxen and draft horses can eat hay, but about fifty cattle and horses would also consume two hundred and fifty pounds of grain daily!

The village’s population is experiencing explosive growth.

Including Lynn himself, all are immigrants!

The village’s birth rate... what birth rate?

From when Lynn built the first wooden house here to the first batch of free people arriving, the total population has reached four hundred and fifty!

Lynn has never seen a newborn baby.

For a village’s development, this is unhealthy.

With the one hundred and fifty slaves brought by Grayson, the village’s labor force increased again.

Lynn called Colin directly and let him take the slaves to the forest edge to cut down trees.

With more and more slaves, more and more housing is needed.

Logs.

There are plenty in the forest, just bring the Iron Axe and Iron Saw to cut them.

Labor.

These slaves, hearing they are building wooden houses for themselves, exert as much strength as possible.

Watching a large group of slaves leave, Lynn turned to Red and Rose beside him.

”I need more guards, increasing the Guard Team to fifty people!”

”Red is responsible for selection, Rose, you are in charge of training them.”

”You can choose a piece of land near the village as your training ground.”

”I need them to rush forward immediately when facing bandits, as long as they can do one-for-one exchange!”

Courage is rarely innate, it often requires iron discipline and rigorous training to forge!

Their status is promoted by Lynn from villagers to guards.

But in the end, they are still ordinary villagers.

Rose and Red glanced at each other.

Red responded, ”Yes, Master Lynn.”

...

Wooden houses are continuously being built around the village’s perimeter.

Each family, or two people per simple wooden house.

There are over a hundred wooden houses in the village.

Including open kitchens, cellars, smoking rooms, brewing workshops, cowsheds, horse stables, granaries, salt storages, wells, and so on...

With these various buildings, the total population of the village already reaches the scale of a medium-sized village.

Yet a single well in the village cannot meet the villagers’ normal drinking water needs.

Lynn directly called twenty villagers to add two more wells on the village’s two ends.

The wells not only need to supply water for kitchens and brewing but also provide the villagers with normal drinking water.

Not only that.

Toilets need to be added!

After Lynn gave a strict order, those slaves accustomed to relieving outdoors began to enter the toilets.

The main road leading from the village to the farmland was also paved with stones, sand, and gravel by the villagers under Lynn’s directive.

Facilitating the subsequent transportation of compost and food.

Now it’s already mid-May.

Getting closer to June’s summer planting.

Lynn found the village was secretly conducting trading and exchanging activities.

Last night.

He clearly saw a female villager holding a piece of linen cloth exchanging it for rock salt with another female villager.

Lynn did not stop it.

He actually thought it was a good thing.

Only by having supply-demand relationships will people work more diligently during labor.

Only then will they feel a sense of belonging to this village.

This is exactly what Lynn wants!

...

When Lynn improved the various facilities in the village.

Even though there were only five acres of wheat, they turned golden.

Under the soft breeze, swaying up and down.

The heavy heads of wheat bent the wheat stems.

At the edge of the wheat field, Lynn, Kuisi, and Red stood.

Kuisi’s face was full of joy.

These wheat were jointly cultivated with Master Lynn after clearing the land and sowing them together.

”Master Lynn, so many kernels, the wheat has yielded, it’s time to start harvesting!”

Lynn said nothing, moved his right hand, and pulled out a head of wheat to inspect closely.

There were fifteen or sixteen kernels on the head of wheat, each plump.

The number discrepancy was significant compared to what Lynn envisioned.

In his memory, even ordinary ears would have around thirty to fifty kernels, superior high-yield varieties would have up to fifty.

After special breeding like space tons, could even have over a hundred kernels per ear.

That’s true high yield.

Thinking again, given his initial conditions, he had reached the limit of cultivating wheat.

Comparatively, sowing fifteen-six kernels per plant was indeed considered a bumper harvest.

This indicates that Lynn’s improved planting methods conceived in his mind were feasible and practical!

Lynn nodded and said, ”Harvest the wheat!”

His body bent, holding the upper part of a bunch of wheat in his left hand, and with the right hand holding a sickle, cutting it from the stem’s base.

[Collection Experience +1]

...

The collection experience was gradually increasing.

Putting the wheat aside, Lynn continued harvesting the next batch of wheat.

Within a day, a few people including Lynn finally completed harvesting the five acres of wheat field.

Subsequent processes of threshing, drying, and storage were still required.

Lynn roughly estimated.

With only using decomposed forest soil for fertilizing these wheat, after a series of procedures, there should be over six hundred pounds of wheat.

Compared to their sowing planting, it increased yields by at least thirty to forty pounds per acre.

Especially Kuisi, Red, and Lex.

Their eyes were full of admiration as they looked at Lynn.

At this moment, Lynn was like a god to them.

Yielding thirty pounds more on an acre, what about ten acres?

Three hundred pounds.

What about a hundred acres?

Three thousand pounds.

What about a thousand acres?

Thirty thousand pounds!

That is a qualitative improvement!

...

Summer harvest ended.

The village formally entered the summer farming phase.

Aside from the Guard Team, brewery, Blacksmith Shop, Open-pit Salt Mine, and Salt Factory villagers, maintaining their original numbers.

Lynn invested all the remaining villagers into the land reclamation.

Roughly divided into four batches.

The first batch, clearing the weeds, stones, and arm-thick branches from the wasteland.

The second batch, driving draft oxen pulling Wheel Plows to cultivate the open fields!

The third batch spread the piled compost evenly over the cultivated soil.

The fourth batch used Iron Hoe and rakes to break large clods and flatten the land, ensuring the even distribution of compost nutrients.

Clear divisions of labor, minimizing unnecessary transition work.

Focusing on one task, after a while, becomes proficient and can improve efficiency!

These people are merely villagers from various countries.

Their knowledge comes mostly from the experience of the previous generation.

Lynn does not need them to have any ideas, just to follow the instructions.

Even Lynn himself took off his shoes, rolled up his sleeves and trousers, and rushed into the open field.

He held the handle of the Wheel Plow with both hands, stabilizing the plow, and nudged, inserting the plow’s blade into the soil at about twenty centimeters depth.

This is the ideal depth, to bring the fertile deep soil to the surface while reducing the draft oxen’s pull to conserve their strength.

Gavin, in front, driving the oxen, checked and confirmed they could start, then whipped the oxen’s back with a branch in his hand.

Moo~

With a painful cry.

Two draft oxen stepped with heavy footsteps, moving forward.
