Chapter 899: Chapter 276: Daydreaming
"Master."
"Master..."
Lynn turned his head at the sound.
He saw Wilbur and Avery, a few paces to his right.
Lynn glanced at the two and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Upon hearing Lynn’s inquiry, Wilbur and Avery exchanged a glance.
Wilbur was the first to explain, "Master, the barley harvest is nearing its end."
"By this afternoon at most, it will be completed."
"Please assign the farmers their next tasks."
Lynn acknowledged, "The farmers in the harvesting group will continue to harvest the vegetables and linen in the fields."
"After drying and sifting, store them in the warehouse, and then have 5,000 of them continue opening up new land."
"Once the barley roots in this field have dried and been burned."
"5,000 farmers will begin planting peas!"
Leguminous crops like peas have a nitrogen-fixing ability that can effectively enhance soil fertility.
The most crucial point is.
In a warm climate, peas grow very fast.
Planted now, they can be harvested at the latest by October to November.
The harvested peas can either serve as a staple supplement for protein intake.
Or they can be used as feed for poultry and livestock!
Upon receiving Lynn’s instructions, Wilbur did not hesitate and quickly responded.
"Yes, Master."
Lynn turned his gaze towards Avery nearby.
Without waiting for Lynn to inquire, Avery bowed slightly and started to explain.
"Master, the production of the stone rollers has already begun."
"At the workers’ pace, three rollers weighing a thousand pounds each can be made in a day."
"By evening, the first batch of ten rollers can be transported back to the estate."
Lynn pondered slightly before speaking to Avery, "Twenty stone rollers will be enough."
"Once they’re completed, you will lead everyone to start constructing the Outer City."
The area of Lord’s Square roughly converts to about twenty acres.
With conventional drying methods, one square can dry fifteen pounds of barley.
An acre is six hundred and sixty-six square feet.
Which means.
Lord’s Square can dry roughly around two hundred thousand pounds of barley in one day!
Using draft horses to pull the thousand-pound stone rollers, pressing until the barley grains are separated from the chaff.
It requires repeated pressing to achieve separation.
With this method, working eight hours in total, the rollers can process an area of at most two acres.
Twenty stone rollers are more than enough for this barley harvest to be pressed and threshed.
The main point is, the area of Lord’s Square is only so large.
No matter how many rollers there are, they can’t be used all at once.
Lynn continued, "Once twenty stone rollers are made, you can take the workers from the Stonemason Workshop and start on the construction of the Outer City."
"If you need anything, you can find me or Steward Kuisi. I will arrange things for you immediately."
"Any other questions?"
Upon hearing this, Avery bowed and responded, "Yes, Master, Avery has no further questions."
After instructing Avery, Lynn dismissed the two men.
Watching them leave, Lynn retracted his gaze.
Wilbur’s cultivation and planting work were going fine.
With the experience from several rounds of cultivation and planting, both Wilbur and the farmers had more or less acquired their own expertise.
Additionally, there is now an ample workforce and sufficient farming tools.
With fifty days left until the end of the summer crops in late August.
There is plenty of time for the farmers to complete this year’s summer harvest and planting.
What worried Lynn was Avery’s construction of the Outer City.
Whether it was the war of Imperial Authority, or Viscount Jon Zuck of Kakasong City.
They posed significant threats and dangers to his territory.
His only hope now was that the flames of war would spread to Morgan Town and his territory more slowly.
Suppressing those thoughts, Lynn stepped onto the farmland.
Joining the team that was transporting bundles of straw and ears of wheat.
[Collection Experience +1]
[Collection Experience +1]
[Collection Experience +1]
...
After Lynn loaded a cart with bundles of straw and ears of wheat until it was fully packed.
He pushed the cart towards the Lord’s Square.
Under the surprised gaze of a farmer responsible for unloading, Lynn began to unload on his own.
Only after a while did he finish unloading a cart of barley.
He took a few large gulps of refreshing, sweet well water handed to him by Red.
Letting that well water wet his robe slightly, he didn’t mind at all.
On the contrary, found it cooler and more comfortable.
Handing the water bottle back to Red, Lynn walked over to sit on a bench in the shade not far away.
His gaze wandered around the entire Lord’s Square.
One by one, the carts loaded with barley were transported by pairs of farmers, one pulling and the other pushing, to the Lord’s Square.
After parking, they awaited the farmers responsible for drying to unload, allowing them a brief rest and water break.
Once unloaded, the carts were pulled back to the fields to continue transporting barley.
The drying farmers spread the barley evenly on the ground.
Using sunlight and air circulation to dry the harvested barley.
During this, tools like wooden rakes are used to turn the barley, ensuring every part is fully exposed to sunlight.
