Chapter 72 Reservoir, the joy of harvest

Thor didn't know that his father had prepared another generous gift for him, and even gave him a great knight as support this time. After bidding farewell to Lajos Assad, he devoted all his attention to the construction of the territory again.

The two wars ended.

External threats.

At least the threat of the surrounding development territories can be said to be completely resolved.

Especially quickly.

Baron Valmy and Baron Graton sent their "hostages" respectively, and the entire territory no longer had any problems.

And in this way.

He can naturally build wholeheartedly.

And the first step in the construction of the territory is naturally to open up the wasteland.

The scope of the Maine Valley is large enough. It not only has three noble lords and seven development lords, but strictly speaking, there are five development lords including the Emerson family, but they are still some distance away from the Maine Valley.

The main reason why so many pioneering lords gathered here, and even enough to give birth to three noble lords, is that the extension of the Maine River Valley to the north is extremely empty. Under the impact of the Maine River, a huge bay was formed on it. The terrain is flat and the soil is good, which is very suitable for large-scale farming. The closer to the Maine River, the more fertile the land.

The long-term accumulation of silt has formed the most suitable plain for farming here.

If it were not for the threat of floods, I am afraid that this area would be enough to give birth to several noble lords again.

Thor wants to reclaim a large amount of wasteland, and the first thing to do is to solve the water shortage in this area.

Thor naturally had an idea for this.

The best way is undoubtedly to build a reservoir.

That's right, it's a reservoir.

In Thor's previous life, reservoirs were generally used as "water conservancy projects to intercept floods, store water and regulate water flow, and can be used for irrigation, power generation, flood control and fish farming."

It is naturally impossible to use it for power generation in this era, but it is possible to use the reservoir capacity to intercept floods, reduce the peak flow entering the downstream river, and achieve the purpose of reducing flood disasters. At the same time, a certain level of fishery can be carried out to form new economic output.

I didn't do it before.

That's because the upstream is the territory of Baron Valmy and Baron Graton, and he is short of manpower.

It is naturally not a problem at this moment.

So Thor soon arranged thousands of slaves and dozens of knights to lead the team, and at the same time mobilized the forces of Baron Valmy and Baron Graton's territory to start building reservoirs in the entire upper reaches of the Maine Valley.

A large number of people and horses gathered.

The grand construction began immediately.

In this regard, Baron Valmy and Baron Graton were somewhat reluctant.

But under the constraints of the contract, they could only pinch their noses and accept it.

While the reservoir was being built.

A large amount of wasteland in the downstream Eagle Ridge was also being opened up.

There was still more than half a year before the next flood period. With the power of the extraordinary world, the entire reservoir could be built in half a year at most, and there would be no need for floods, so it could be reclaimed without any worries.

And during the reclamation.

The first batch of grain was harvested immediately.

The composting technology from the previous life obviously played a lot of role in this world.

The wheat in the large amount of land reclaimed in the early stage was harvested.

A large number of slaves and free people looked at the full wheat on their land excitedly, and their expressions could not help but be excited.

"Oh my God, this is incredible."

"Three hundred pounds, there are actually three hundred pounds!"

"The goddess of life bless you!"

"The lord is so awesome!"

On the land, the eyes of the slaves and free people who harvested one by one were full of excitement.

Because the wheat harvest far exceeded their imagination.

In their memory, the output of one acre of land was only about 200 pounds even when the harvest was good, but now the output of one acre of land has reached 300 pounds, which is nearly doubled, which is simply unbelievable.

Many people even feel that they are in a dream.

In the castle.

"300 pounds?"

Thor frowned slightly and sighed.

He has tried his best to bring some technologies from his previous life, but the world is different after all, and without modern fertilizers, the yield of wheat can never reach the level of the previous life.

Not even one tenth.

In some areas in the north of the previous life, the yield of wheat per acre can reach about 1,100 catties, while even in the south, it is generally between 800 and 1,000 catties.

The acre in this world is much larger than in the previous life, almost doubled, and the pound is about the same as one catty in the previous life.

In other words, the yield of one acre here is only 150 catties now, which can be said to be pitiful.

"Sir, this is already a very high yield."

"In Frost Moon Province, our family only has 200 pounds!"

"Sometimes it's even less than 150 pounds!"

Ryan was still excited, and his eyes were full of respect when he looked at Thor.

"Okay, go down and make arrangements first, and dry and store the grain as soon as possible."

Thor did not continue to struggle, but opened his mouth and gave orders quickly.

The harvest at this moment means that he has a large amount of grain in the warehouse, and grain is very precious in the northern province.

During this period, he spent the most money not on slaves. Even though slaves cost a lot of gold coins, it was nothing compared to the continuous consumption of food.

If this batch of food has not been harvested yet, he will have to consider going to buy food again.

Although he has the trade established by Lajos to provide gold coins.

But these gold coins may not be able to sustain.

At this moment, with this batch of harvest, there is no need to be so anxious.

He can continue to develop slowly.

Although the grain output is not satisfactory, he has reclaimed a lot of land before, and he has reclaimed some more later. It can be expected that there will be a steady output in the future.

It can barely be self-sufficient.

"It seems that we still have to find a way to increase the grain output as much as possible."

"In this world, it seems that elves can do it!"

Thor muttered to himself, thinking of some information he had obtained from reading books before.

Compared with humans, elves are undoubtedly the darlings of heaven and earth, and have the ability to make plants grow rapidly and transform quickly.

If he wanted to continue to provide output, it was obviously impossible to rely on some methods in his previous life. After all, the world was different, and this effect was already the limit.

If he wanted to continue to improve, he had to rely on the methods of this world.

When thinking of the elves, Thor couldn't help but think of the half-elf girl.

But he couldn't be sure whether the half-elf girl also had this effect. After all, she was just a half-elf, not an elf.

And the other party didn't surrender completely.
