Chapter 567 Construction 2

The burnt land spreads along the winding rivers, the size of several square kilometers.

There is a dirt road that is nine meters wide in the middle.

This is a road that William deliberately left behind. This very wide dirt road is connected to the fence gate of the village of Xinnisai, and at the end is a river called Ezis, which is divided into two sides of the burned land.

Following William's instructions, Louis led a group of slaves and divided the land into square pieces, leaving a straight gap of half a meter wide between the land.

Finally, it was calculated that a total of 18,000 acres of land were opened.

The land that has just been burned is relatively solid, so it needs to be "planted" so that the crops planted can thrive.

With 18,000 acres of land, relying on William’s five or six hundred slaves alone, I don’t know that it will be the year of the monkey and horse month.

William didn't want to waste too much time on these trivial matters.

So he cheated directly.

Late at night, the entire camp people were wizarded by William and fell asleep deeply.

At this time, William's loyal demon pet, the Void Hound, jumped out of the blue plaid apron space, and used its scaled limbs to cultivate the land diligently.

William used earth witchcraft to assist.

A good second-level wizard turned out to be an "old farmer". I don't know how many people would laugh at me when it is spread.

Fortunately, this desolate land is full of ordinary people, and no one discovers William's secret.

Soon, in just a few days, the 18,000 acres of land that were opened were completed and the soil was loose.

This 18,000 acres of land will not be cultivated, but will adopt the farming method of William's medieval Western world in his previous life - the three-field rotation system!

The three-field rotation rest process is the main crop that sows a large nutritional demand in one field. In the second year, they sow crops that fix nitrogen and enrich nutrients. In one field, they sow crops that fix nitrogen and enrich nutrients. In one field, they do not plant them at all, leaving them covered with weeds. They also mix various feces in them on weekdays. When the next year, the field becomes nutritious, they can directly plant crops that require high nutritional demands.

According to William's plan, 6,000 acres of local winter wheat were planted, which is a poor quality rye species with a poor taste, but the advantage is that it has strong vitality and good yields. Therefore, many local farmers plant this winter wheat for a meal.

Another 6,000 acres of land planted a crop that looks very similar to the sweet potatoes in William's previous life, called the turtle fruit. This fruit rich in starchy substances cannot be digested by humans. Instead, some herbivorous livestock can use it as a food source.

The advantage of this Mutto fruit is that it produces amazingly and can be harvested for two seasons a year. However, because humans cannot eat it, almost no one can plant it. William also used a magic mirror to study many plants in the wild before he found this crop.

The last six thousand acres of land were planted without planting anything, waiting for the grass to grow in the coming year.

Agriculture in this era is very simple and crude, and it is impossible to cultivate carefully here.

Most of the time, farmers throw the seeds into the fields, water them, and then eat according to the weather.

Some hard-working farmers occasionally remove weeding and water some water, but that's it.

So the yield per mu is actually very low.

Low yields, in turn, require farmers to have more fields. Only in this way can the combined yield meet the needs of life and production for one year.

So although the farmers in this era own a lot of land, they actually have very little harvest.

Of course William wouldn't watch this happen.

After he asked the slaves to sow the prescribed crops on the corresponding land, he divided the team and divided them into fifty people to build canals, water and fertilize, and remove weeds.

The land here has been loosened by the Void Hound, and it is not difficult to dig.

These fifty people are sure to be competent for this job.

The other 500 people can devote themselves to another job - the construction of the residential area in the village.

Generally, villages are mainly made of wooden structures.

The defense of this structure is really poor, and it is very likely that most of the fire will burn.

William won't take it.

Towns built with stones are too expensive, and there are only a few small hills near William, and there are no stone fields suitable for development.

But the local soil is very suitable for burning bricks.

As early as the Svakian king capital, William asked the blacksmith to build a bunch of brick molds, which came in handy at this time.

On the other side of the village, a simple brick factory was built.

Hundreds of slave workers were stationed here, and dried red bricks were produced from here, and then fired to cool down.

The red bricks began to grow at a rate visible to the naked eye.

It is not possible to have bricks alone, and adhesive is required.

When building the village of Nisse, William never could have the ability to increase the temperature of the flame to 1500 degrees, and to burn real simple cement, he could only use some other substances to make do with it.

But now there is no need to be such a trouble.

With William's ability, it is easy to get a flame that exceeds 1500 degrees.

William used the power of bricks and witchcraft to build a cement firing room near the brick factory.

Lime was continuously transported by slaves from nearby "newly discovered" lime farms, mixed with clay and water, turning into slurry, putting firewood on it and starting to burn.

Generally, in this case, the temperature of the flame is absolutely not reaching 1500 degrees, which is the temperature that allows the iron to melt.

But William was among them and used magic to control the fire energy particles, and the result was different.

The simple version of cement is freshly released.

Cement and piles, in the civil construction industry, are equivalent to ordinary people's water and electricity.

The next construction plan for Xinnisai Village can only be carried out.

William used the "two horizontal" and "two vertical" roads to divide the entire Nisse village into a "well" shape, with a pattern structure of nine regions.

The middle ground is where William's residence is located.

William designed a three-story brick and wood mixed structure house here, which also used mortise and tenon technology commonly used in ancient Chinese construction industry, including a vestibule and a backyard. Each floor has seven rooms, which are very spacious. There are balcony and windows above the second floor, and the light is very abundant.

Hundreds of people took turns to construct construction day and night, so there was no need to worry about disturbing the neighbors. It took more than half a month to build William's lord's villa, just like the unfinished house in his previous life. If you don't mind, you can actually live in it.
