Black Iron Crown

Chapter 46 Reclamation in Winter

Reiner was lying on the bed like a piece of rotten meat, looking at the knight novel in his hand boredly. It has to be said that the life of the nobles in this era is really too boring. There is no mobile phone or computer, and even the book in his hand He has read all knight novels no less than ten times.

Annoyedly throwing down the novel in his hand, and putting on a cotton coat, Reiner walked out of the warm room with a blazing fireplace. He came to the open space in the castle, which was usually the training ground for Reiner and others.

Reiner took a wooden sword in the room and walked out of the castle. His breath formed strands of ice crystals in the cold air, forming a cloud of smoke.

The snow in the open space has been cleaned up by the servants. Although it cannot be said that there is no snow accumulation, at least it will not cause people to slip and fall.

When he came to the practice field, Reiner found that he was not the only one who chose to train at this time. His younger brother, Little Wende, was also wearing a heavy armor and waving the wooden sword in his hand at the wooden man in front of him.

The little man wielded the wooden sword that was almost as tall as him in his hand, and slashed at the wooden man with a crackling sound.

Reiner's body left him with strong physical fitness and excellent fighting awareness. Seeing Little Wende's movements, he couldn't help nodding. Although he was only thirteen years old, his body was as strong as a calf's. Almost, it can be seen that since he became sensible, he has never lost his practice of martial arts.

Reiner strode forward and said: "Very good, well done Wende!"

Wen De, who was quite engrossed in the practice, didn't notice Reiner at the first time, and couldn't help being startled after hearing his voice.

"Oh!" Wende took two steps back and subconsciously made a swordsmanship gesture at Reiner. When he turned his head and found that it was his brother, he couldn't help but put down the long sword in his hand and touched it a little embarrassed My own head said: "Brother, it's you, why did you suddenly appear, and I was shocked!"

"Why, can't I come and see your training?" Reiner said with no smile on his face, pretending to be serious

"Ah... that's not what I meant, I just... just..." Wende rubbed his head and faltered.

It can be seen that Wende respects and fears his elder brother. Although the relationship between the two was very good when they were young, after all, the former owner of Reiner's body traveled abroad when he was thirteen years old. When Wende was ten years old, he was separated from his elder brother, so there was inevitably some estrangement between the two.

Reiner laughed loudly: "I'm just kidding you!"

He shook the long sword in his hand in front of Wende, and said, "Come attack me, let me guide you in martial arts!"

Five minutes later, Wende looked at the wooden sword on his neck with a dejected expression, and said helplessly, "I lost..."

Reiner smiled when he heard the words, took back his long sword and said to Wende: "It's okay, you are still young, wouldn't it be normal to lose to me, ahahahaha!"

Reiner smiled triumphantly. Wende's expression became more and more frustrated. Looking at Wende's wrinkled face, he patted his shoulder and made him look into his eyes.

"Listen, Wende, you are my brother, the person I rely on the most, you must grow up as soon as possible, and you will become my right-hand man in the future. You first learn swordsmanship from Sir Valas, and then I will Arrange the best tactical teacher for you, you, my brother Wende, will follow me to show your brilliance!"

When Wende heard this, his face, which was still full of frustration, became excited immediately, and he asked, "Is this going to happen? Will I follow you like Grand Duke Lei Wen followed His Majesty the Emperor?"

This is the old calendar when the empire was established. The original Grand Duke Lei Wen is also the younger brother of the current emperor. He followed the emperor to conquer the whole empire.

He also wanted to be a famous character in the empire, but he died of old injuries shortly after the establishment of the empire.

Of course, Reiner knew what was going on in his little head. Boys always have some unrealistic ambitions when they are young. After that period of time, they will naturally dispel this idea and at the same time I feel ashamed of my childishness at that time.

"Yes, you will become the same person as Grand Duke Raven, I promise!" Reiner swore to himself that this is definitely not lying to children, the system mission has been released, don't say that the current empire is in turmoil, even if it is the emperor's body To turn the crisis into safety and regain control of the overall situation, anyone with this task must rebel and become the emperor.

The two were happily training on the training ground, and at the same time Leiner was also exchanging feelings with his young brother.

At the same time, the residents of Fort Moreland finally took up farm tools to reclaim farmland in the wild. This was an order issued by Leiner. All the land they cultivated belonged to the Moreland family, and even they themselves The private property of the Rand family.

So they must obey any order that Reiner issues.

Although the arable land in Fort Moreland is still sufficient, the Moreland family owns 20,000 mu of 30,000 mu of arable land. Although this number is quite large, there is not much food that can be produced.

Since the land in the Northland is fairly fertile, the yield per mu should be higher, probably reaching 50 kilograms of grain per mu, but you must know that the land needs to be rested in rotation.

According to the current rotation method, the Moreland family has only 10,000 mu of arable land to work each year, and the grain harvested is only 500 tons. Although this number seems large, the population that the Moreland family can directly control is enough. There are more than 1,500 people, and the average is more than 330 kilograms per person. 60% of these grains have to be paid to Leiner, and the tax collected by Leiner must not be considered high. This shows that the serfs What a miserable life.

Rainer very much hopes to reclaim more arable land, and use manure and other methods to increase food production next year, at least so that the residents don't look hungry, and they can collect more taxes.

As far as Leiner's grain output is concerned, in the island country of his previous life, he wouldn't even be considered a famous Wanshi. But the stars and the sea, but the throne of the emperor, it is impossible not to work hard from now on.

Fearing the war, the residents stopped land reclamation after seeking Leiner's consent, but now that the war has been won, they finally picked up farm tools to reclaim the land while worshiping and praising Leiner's bravery and wisdom. .

It has to be said that it is extremely painful to be exposed to the wild in the cold winter. Even though the exercise brings huge heat, the biting cold wind still makes their faces flushed from the cold, and the snot from the nose from time to time It flowed down and was wiped casually by them.

The reclamation operation is in full swing, and the progress is still very fast. Since the beginning of winter, more than 4,000 mu of cultivated land has been reclaimed. Reiner estimates that after this winter, it may increase to 30,000 to 40,000 mu. million acres of land.
