Chapter 121 Harvest Begins

Autumn goes and winter comes, well, not that fast, or for the entire half-winter kingdom, between summer and winter, the brief autumn is just a blink of an eye.

Harvest Day, this great day, after six months of hard sowing week, finally ushered in several harvests of the year.

At the end of August and early September, both self-cultivated farmers, tenant farmers, or noble nobles, all put down their miscellaneous tasks.

Children don’t have to go to school to attend classes, and merchants don’t go out to set up stalls. The nobles put down their manuscripts and weapons one by one and changed into simple outfits.

The leaves in the field gradually turn yellow, and when you look around, the land is getting better, you will gradually lose your vitality. However, if you look closely, you will find that there are many busy figures in the field bent over, and every time you work, you will find joyful harvests on your face.

"This is a good harvest!" Arthur raised his tired back. Although he could not make the harvest as relaxed as the earth, his joy could not be hidden.

He didn't lack money, but when he gently pulled open the soil and pulled up a bunch of sweet potatoes from the land with the roots and stems, his joyful mood was always the same.

"Lilia! Look at your little hired workers and don't let them steal too many sweet potatoes!" Arthur raised his head and shouted at the absent-minded succubus.

Compared to herself, the little succubus is much easier. She doesn't have to do it herself. She just takes her smart and powerful goblins, which is enough to match several labor forces.

After more than two months of nourishment, these goblins have obviously swelled, especially the smartest "Goblin King" who has suddenly surpassed other goblins from the weakest, and its strength is even less than that of an adult.

Because of his low body, he is more sensitive to detecting food. The goblins under Lilia's control are far faster than Arthur.

This directly saved Arthur a lot of money for hiring farmers. As for the Goblin's behavior of occasionally putting a sweet potato on him, Arthur also chose to turn a blind eye.

Of course, good quality sweet potatoes cannot be wasted by goblins. Arthur doesn't care about a few sweet potatoes, but if every good sweet potato is bitten by a small green skin, this won't work.

Lilia stuck out her tongue, kicked the nearest Little Green Skin, cursed and asked a few more questions, and then started working as a supervisor.

"Oh... Forget it, I don't lack this money anyway. It seems that the goblins are not used for the summoning objects used for harvesting." Arthur shook his head. He was not sad about the failed test items. Today, he saw that he earned a lot and didn't care much about the sweet potatoes in the field.

After harvesting in previous years, in addition to part of the food that was purchased by the lord and sent to the north, Arthur usually stored enough sweet potatoes to eat for a year and a half.

However, this year is different. Except for a small number of sweet potatoes that were prepared to be used to keep them, Arthur thought he would sell them, and then replace the grain with flour bacon and other crops, and no longer use sweet potatoes that he had been tired of eating as stocks.

After patting the soil on his body, Arthur collected the last sweet potato used as a seed. The land under his feet was different. This was the field he had always used as a test field.

The sweet potatoes here not only have the best fertilizer, but also have been selected from the selection of seeds, but also from the most fat and most stems.

In previous years, Arthur was dissatisfied with the entire field, and even after supplying the Peter Ryder family, there would be many more, and a large part of them would be eliminated.

After the deletion and strengthening over the past few years, the performance of seeds is getting better and better. With the results of this year's harvest, the total weight should have increased slightly.

It is not as good as the results of intensive cultivation in previous years, but the quality of seeds alone can already obtain more goods under natural conditions.

If compared with the aristocratic land on the other side of the river and ordinary farmers, Arthur's income per acre will be at least 20%. If enough fertilizer and more care are applied, it is very likely to increase the yield by 20%.

Good seeds, good fields, and good methods. As long as these three things are achieved, the benefits in agriculture will naturally be higher than those that cannot be achieved. Arthur proved this with his own actions. When Arthur completes larger-scale sowing next year, such planting methods will also begin to be promoted and popularized to the entire Morado.

"Arthur, have you harvested your seeds? I want to come here to help you." Uncle Vinok carried a hoe. The two families were very close, and he saw Arthur's figure from afar.

In contrast, his family's land is much larger, and this year he lacks a lot of labor and the harvesting efficiency is much lower.

However, he did not intend to come to ask Arthur for help, because Arthur had much less staff than his family. In previous years, most of the harvest was his family, and Arthur had not even harvested the breeding fields.

"Yes, I didn't take good care of it this year, I got less harvest, and there was still such a big area left. It seems that I have to hire farmers to solve it at that time." Arthur looked at Lilia's efficiency and thought to himself that it was probably enough. He didn't plan to spend this effort. By the end of the autumn harvest, there will naturally be a lot of free people.

Uncle Vinok nodded. Of course, he knew that Arthur did not lack these sweet potatoes for now, and the magician was more important to study. Compared to the time delayed, it was cheaper to hire people directly.

"Thanks to you, I didn't expect these goblins to be useful. There are a lot of weeds and sweet potatoes have grown better. This year, even your aunt Ledna didn't go to the ground. She complained to me that she seemed to be fine, which made her heavier several pounds." Uncle Vinnock said and joked.

Is the little green skin good? Who knows who uses it? Even the townspeople who started using goblins to pull weeds very late felt a little different.

In the past, the grass in the fields was not to be pulled at all. After a summer rainstorm, a bunch of grass would grow densely after the night.

Those who have planted the land know that weeds must be pulled as soon as possible. If you really have to wait for them to grow to a height that they can lift them at will, then the nutrients in the ground will be absorbed by them long ago, so the crops will not expect any good harvest.

Staring at the scorching sun and having to bend over and hunch your back is not an easy job. It depends on whether a person is diligent, and just looking at the fields they plant can be seen at a glance.

If there are only crops in the field and there is no weed, then it is absolutely right to marry the daughter of the family with confidence.

But the only thing that catches your eye is a piece of land mixed with weeds and thin crops? Then I’m sorry, no matter how rich your family is, it will be difficult to find a wife.
