Chapter 51 Edward

"Ding~"

"The player successfully used the [Baron Son] character card and is matching the character..."

"The character matching is successful! Start entering the game..."

...

“Wow~Wow~”

A loud cry resounded in a quaint and tall castle.

"Dear Connor, it's a boy with a nose and mouth that looks like yours." On the bed, a woman with a maternal glory on her face, holding the baby in her arms, said to the young man beside the bed.

"Hahahaha, okay, okay! I, Connor, finally have a child who can inherit the glory and badges of my Burns family!" The young man hugged the child in his arms and laughed loudly. The laughter contained endless prayers and expectations for this eldest son.

...

Six months later.

"I actually became Edward?"

Zhou Ming, who was sitting quietly in the cradle bed and sucking his thumb, didn't know how many times he sighed like this.

In the last game, Edward, who was killed by him, became his own life in this life.

Zhou Ming understood the evil taste of the system. In the previous game, which is somewhat related to the default characters of the game, in the new game, as long as the character card is used, it will generally match these related characters, forming an illusion of misfortune and fate.

In fact, this is the system being lazy.

"Forget it, Edward, just Edward. Although this was a arrogant guy in the last game, he couldn't be said to be a bad guy. It's just that he had some common problems that all nobles might have. For the sake of the dignity and dignity of the knight, he naturally looked down on those lowly farmers who struggled at the bottom..."

"However, I have avenged the revenge. Of course, this revenge is a bit too much. It has taken all your life into it. I'm talking about it here. The grudge between us can be considered as sluggish..."

"If this is not enough, then let me make a name for myself in this world in your name. Not to mention the crown above my head, I have to be at least the king and hold a heavy handle in my hand."

After figuring this out, Zhou Ming was no longer worried. He should eat, sleep and treats Baron Conner and Madeline as his parents in this life. In less than eight months, his parents shouted out, making the couple happy about to shed tears.

...

It was three years old in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Ming, who had been able to walk in the fields, had his movements spread all over the castle, and often slipped out of the castle and the fields, watching the farmers farm with interest, and sometimes asked his father, Baron Connor, to take him to the north of the territory to find some stones and dig something in the woods in the east, saying that he wanted to find the coal mine below.

Yes, when Zhou Ming opened the two volumes of [Ministry Resource Distribution Map] and [World Map] in his mind, this world was full of fun to explore.

The small Glen Territory has a very rich underground resources. There is a limestone deposit with a reserve of over 100 million tons in the barren mountains in the north. There are three coal resources with considerable reserves under the forest in the east. There are gold mines in the south and diamond veins in the deep underground in the west.

However, except for the limestone mines in the north, these mineral deposits have certain mining value, other mineral deposits are buried too deeply and do not have mining value.

But it doesn't matter. This is just a small Glen. In this world, there are countless places like Glen. There are endless minerals buried underground. Although only a small part of them have mining value, it is enough for Zhou Ming. Those wealth will be placed there waiting for him. Sooner or later, he will take back all of these wealth.

The biggest gain is the [World Map] in Zhou Ming’s mind.

This map allowed Zhou Ming to see the whole picture of this world for the first time and know what kind of planet he was on.

The planet has an area of ​​about twice that of the earth, 70% of the sea, and the other 30% of the land is a very complete continent. The shape of this continent is a bit like a spindle with two heads and tails together, or it can be said that it is like the lungs in the human body, connected together by a "tracheal tube".

The "trachea" between these lungs is what people in this world call the devil's mountain - Ural Snow Mountain.

The Ural Snow Mountain, the middle uplift zone formed by the collision of two lung-type continents, has an average altitude that is much higher than the Himalayas on Earth. Conservatively estimated, it must be tens of thousands of meters high on average, which is indeed a true mountain of devils that can only cross.

To the west of the Ural Snow Mountain is the continent where Zhou Ming is currently in, with hundreds of kingdoms and a population of over 100 million. But the eastern continent is even larger. What will happen on that continent? Zhou Ming doesn't know. He only knows that as long as he passes the snow-capped mountain in the east of the Kingdom of Voris, he can see the entire land on this planet, occupying another 60% of the area.

"In the future, let's go to explore behind the Ural Snow Mountain. Maybe there will be many surprises waiting for me."

...

In the next few years, Zhou Ming began to show his talent in farming in front of his father Baron Connor.

According to the principle of increasing cow manure yield, Zhou Ming conducted a test field in the territory manor to conduct manure yield increase experiments, which allowed the barley yield to triple the per mu to increase, and was successful. The "Centralized Manure Treatment Ordinance" issued by the Granling Castle Mansion was soon fully implemented in various villages and towns.

Then we transformed the farm tools, installed plow walls on heavy plows, invented ox yokes and sowing trolleys, which greatly improved the efficiency of plowing ox and the speed of farmers' sowing, and reduced their labor intensity and physical burden.

But even so, Zhou Ming found that the farmers who had reduced a lot of burdens did not expand the planting area and increase the grain yield. His father, Baron Conner, was afraid that these idle farmers would wander around without any trouble, so he brought them to the quarry in the north and prepared to increase the outer wall of the castle a little longer. After a few months, most of the farmers who had finally grown a little meat on their bodies were thin and bony. During the process of repairing the castle, two of them were accidentally killed by stones.

Seeing that this would not work, the six-year-old Zhou Ming advised Baron Conner: "Dad, don't let these farmers build castles. Otherwise, we will formulate a reward doctrine. If the farmer pays the lord's food in a year, he can reach 50 tarons (≈1 ton), then he will be exempted from his weekly work for three days a week. If more than 50 tarons, the excess will be returned to the farmers, so that they will have the motivation to farm."

Zhou Ming's plan is a method to stimulate labor with rewards and improve the enthusiasm of farmers for their labor without basically changing the original tax system.

After all, under normal circumstances, the maximum grain that an adult farmer can grow in a year is about 80-100 Tarons, of which 50% are handed over to the lord, and the amount handed over is between 40-50 Tarons. Therefore, if you have to complete the goal of 50 Tarons, it is enough to work harder.

Compared to being able to avoid working for three days a week, it is really cost-effective to work harder to add more food.

"Can this work be done? Without the farmers working as Zhou craftsmen, there would be no one to plant the lord's fields, which would also reduce a lot of profit."

Baron Connor frowned, feeling that if such reward measures were adopted, he would not only not make a profit, but also suffer some losses.

"Dad, I have calculated it for you. Although your land of less than 2,000 acres are the most fertile river beach land, under the labor of those farmers who are not very enthusiastic about working, the yield per mu is not as good as half of the farmers' own land. It's better to rent all these river beach land to the farmers. Even if you only get 50%, it's more than you have before... Believe me, those farmers will work hard to plant the land in order not to do weekly work."

The farming experience left in the previous life made Zhou Ming understand the characteristics of those farmers.

"But if Zhou Gong is abolished, what should I do if those farmers are asked to work in the future? There are more than just the things in the fields in the territory. In the future, these farmers have to be used to build roads, bridges and castles."

"Then let the farmers come to work in the name of gratitude workers, but they just changed their name. In the name of gratitude, they wouldn't come to work in the name of gratitude?"

Zhou Ming felt that the baron's father didn't know how to adapt at all.

"Edward, you are my smartest son."
