Chapter 315 Village Chief Pro (Continued)

"After talking about fertilizing, let's talk about how to cultivate the land." Puo paused for a moment and then said: "I walked around here specially at noon and found that some diligent villagers had begun to plow the land in their own yards, but I checked and found that the land was not plowed deep enough. According to the requirements of our Nix Agriculture Department, the fields must be plowed at least this deep. "

Pu Pu opened his hands and drew a distance of about two feet: "Only when the fields are plowed so deep can we clean the roots of weeds and dig out and kill the insect eggs hidden deep in the fields. At the same time, It can also expose the deep soil to breathe, get some sunshine, and increase the fertility of the entire field..."

"But plowing such a deep field will consume a lot of energy for us." Selicis interrupted and reminded: "Look at how many of us here have no men at home. It would be very difficult for them to plow such a deep field by themselves." Difficult to do.”

"You're right to remind me, I noticed it too." Puro nodded kindly towards Selicis, and then said: "I learned more about it at noon. You used to use cattle to plow the fields, but now there are still There aren’t many cow families—”

"Originally, my family also had cows. Unfortunately, last year the clan leader forcibly took our cows away, saying they were going to carry supplies to the army fighting on the Kupa River, but they never came back!"

"My family is like this too. If you take a good cow and don't give it back, Crocas deserves to die (Clocas is the leader of this tribe)!"

"Village... Chief, were our cattle taken away by your Knicks army after they won? Can you return the cattle to us?"

…

Everyone complained to Puluo, and Celysis had to step in to calm them down again.

The Knicks army captured some cattle and horses during this war, but Prolo had no intention of helping these people recover the cattle that had become tribal property. Instead, he said loudly: "There are no cattle at home, it doesn't matter. I We will apply to the tribal agriculture department to borrow a few strong cattle for the public use of our village. They will keep them in the main house and send special personnel to feed them. If anyone needs cattle to plow the fields, they can borrow them and use them, but they must take care of them. Okay, the cow is tired and needs to make compensation..."

"Will the tribe lend us cattle?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Of course." Pro said with certainty: "Chief Maximus once said that whether it is him or the chief officials of various departments, the most important task is to let the people live a good life. If the people If they are not doing well, then he and the officials have not fulfilled their responsibilities! Everyone, including him, should be punished!”

Hearing this, the people were very surprised. They couldn't help but think of the ways of the tribal leaders and patriarchs in the past, and then look at the new village chief in front of them who had just arrived and discussed with them how to farm... In an instant, everyone agreed. 's silence.

Pu Luo didn't realize that the thoughts of everyone in front of him were quietly changing. When he talked about farming, he didn't want to stop talking: "We have used your iron plow, but the pear was too heavy and very labor-intensive. It's still Maxi Chief Mus received divine inspiration and improved your iron plow, turning it into this... He also changed the flat iron plow into this..."

Puro said and gestured: "... Later we used this new curved shaft plow, which not only saves labor, but can also plow very deep ground. Even a woman can use it to plow several fields in a day. acres of land..."

"Village Chief." Lerdus said this title again, and it became more fluent: "I'm afraid it's hard to make such a good plow."

"Of course, you won't be able to make it on your own. But I can borrow some plows from the Ministry of Agriculture, and we will all take turns using them. In the future, when you all have money, you can spend your own money to buy them..."

Pu Pu talked non-stop, and the people listened very carefully.

He talked about farming, seed selection, dense planting, seedling emergence, grain filling, harvesting, drying, threshing, dust raising, storage... He talked non-stop for a full hour.

At the end of the story, he felt his mouth was dry, and he swallowed several times, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I have told you so much, but you may not be able to remember it all. When the land comes tomorrow, After everything is divided, I will teach you exactly how to take care of your land so that it can produce more food. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me and I will do my best to help. You solve it.”

As soon as Puo finished speaking, Lerdus shouted excitedly: "Thank you, village chief!"

Others also heartily agreed, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Selicis looked at Puo who was surrounded by the people and couldn't help but sigh: when he saw this dry and thin old man in the morning, he had doubted whether he could manage the village well, but he just stood here and said something. After these words, the people here accepted him. It's not that the tribesmen are stupid, but that their eyes are sharp and they can feel who is really for their own good!

Perhaps because of the good news that "the land will be divided the next day", or perhaps because the new village chief told them the secret of how to make the fields more productive, the people were in excitement all day long, so they were worried about what they had already done. The former Skodisci slaves who lived in the village and door-to-door with them did not show strong hostility, and everyone spent the day in peace.

The next morning, the Nix soldiers and the Skodischi slaves who had become residents of the village but were out on missions returned one after another. During this period, the staff of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Agriculture also arrived.

All the villagers gathered in the square again. This time, there was a simple wooden platform in the center of the square. It was temporarily built by Pro and Selisis and the villagers yesterday afternoon.

At this moment, both the people of Segestica and the former Skodischi slaves were concentrating on the wooden platform.

On the wooden platform, the staff of the Ministry of Personnel looked at the list in his hand and shouted loudly: "Is Nicocus from Village No. 21 here?!"

In order to facilitate registration and management, the Political Affairs Hall numbered each village that had been stationed by a centurion, and this village was numbered 21.

"Yes!" Nicocus responded loudly, then quickly climbed onto the wooden platform and stood in front of the staff of the Ministry of Personnel.

The subordinate looked solemn, and said loudly in fluent Illyrian: "According to the military merit statistics of the Ministry of Personnel, after verification by the Political Affairs Hall, and with the signature of Chief Maximus, the tribe member Nicocus was promoted to a second-class tribe member, with 60 acres of land for personal use. Congratulations, Nicocus!"

"Thank you! Thank you!..." Nicocus excitedly shook the other's hand and shook it vigorously.

"I hope you will continue to work hard, make new contributions, make more contributions to the tribe, and further improve your level!" The subordinate encouraged seriously, but his right hand was quietly pulled out of the other's hand. Almost everyone who came on the stage was shaking hands vigorously, and he felt that his hand was a little swollen.

"Please rest assured, I will continue to work hard!" Nicocus saluted confidently, and when he turned and walked down the wooden stage, he excitedly waved to the audience.

His wide smile left a deep impression on everyone present, especially the former Segestica people, because they clearly remembered that this man was a Segestica person, who was once a member of their neighboring tribe. After being defeated and captured last year, he joined the Nix tribe. Only one year later, he was promoted from a Nix reserve member to a second-class member through meritorious service and obtained 60 acres of land...

If we also work hard for Nix, can we be like him... Such a thought arose in the hearts of the people.

Nikokus would not know that in the blink of an eye he became a role model for his compatriots to learn from.

"Is Casalidoa from Village No. 21 here?!"

"Here!"

"According to the military merit statistics of the Ministry of Personnel, after verification by the Political Affairs Hall, and with the signature of Chief Maximus, second-class tribesman Casalidoa has been promoted to first-class tribesman and will own 80 acres of land. Congratulations!"

"Thank you." Although there were exclamations from the wooden stage, Casalidoa was not too happy, because he was already a second-class tribesman before this war, and the merits he made in this war were more than enough to be promoted to first-class tribesman, but he was still a little short of being promoted to knight. From the current situation, if he wants to become a knight and truly join the ranks of the Nix tribal nobles, he can only strive to make merit and be promoted in the next battle, but when will the next battle come?

However, other Nix veterans in this village have also been promoted to first-class tribesmen, and those who have not become knights have made Casalidoa feel a little better.

This time, the rally in the square was a promotion commendation meeting. The protagonists were the Nix veterans and recruits who had already belonged to this village, but it gave a vivid demonstration to the Segestica people and the Skodischi slaves who were the supporting roles, allowing them to see how the tempting words that the Nix people had said to them before became reality, so that they began to have a greater vision for their future life.

After the promotion commendation meeting, the staff of the Ministry of Personnel left the village, and then it was the turn of the Ministry of Agriculture to do the work.

Dividing the land was something that made all the tribesmen in the village very happy. The Ministry of Agriculture also attached great importance to it and sent quite a few people.

The first to be distributed land were of course the Nix soldiers who had tasks and some Skodischi slaves. After they all got the land and left, it was finally the turn of the Segestica people who had been waiting for a long time.

The agricultural staff took the list and called out the name of the first Segestica people: "Selisis!"
