What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 120
Sofia named the land area directly managed by the fortress "Early Winter Plantation". These lands accounted for half of the total, but only about 6000 farmers were employed.

According to the plan of the "Minister of Agriculture" of the fortress, the output of these 6000 people is more than enough to feed the entire 5 people in the entire Winter City, which ensures that even if the rest of the farmers have no crops throughout the year, there will be no famine.

Famine is a terrible thing.

Surrounding fiefdoms and nations will sell ore and fuel, but very little is willing to sell food, especially in large quantities.

Because the real landlord's family has no surplus food.

All lords will calculate the number of serfs according to the output of the land. Once the population exceeds the capacity of the land, they will decisively discard the excess serfs.Even the big lords above the earl, the grain stored must be prepared for possible bad harvests in the next few years.

According to Sophia's proposal to the lord, after the food reserves in the fortress reach a certain amount, the number of free farmers can be gradually reduced, and the number of industrial workers can be increased instead. She is well aware of how short the lord is now, but at the same time, she finds that Colin · Wayne is also a very conservative lord. Even though the plantation can guarantee food and clothing for everyone, there are still more than 3 people engaged in agricultural work in the entire Winter City.

The lord has repeatedly emphasized that food is the foundation of everything, and the agricultural population must be kept above the minimum. When food is abundant in the future, farming will no longer be a means of ensuring survival, and it will be transformed into an economic industry——she roughly understands , but it is not very clear.

Sophia doesn't wear her gorgeous aristocratic costumes when she's working. She likes the work clothes distributed by the plantation very much-simple, dirt-resistant and wear-resistant, and the materials are cheap, but the appearance is too ugly. It is said that it was designed by the lord himself. .

The lord is good at everything, but his aesthetics are unique.

Several magical looms in the workshop have been running day and night, but even so, it will take a few months for everyone in the plantation to unify their clothes. The same thing happened in the alchemy workshop and the logging team As well as the construction team and other places, Sophia likes the way everyone is uniform when working, and feels very powerful.

The new round of sowing was completed two months ago. According to the current growth trend, it is expected that this year's production will more than double. This is not unimaginable. After all, there was a shortage of manpower last year, and most of the time it was random Sowing is rarely done. In comparison, this year's planting is under a unified plan, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

Sophia can already foresee that the fortress's granary will not be enough.

She pulled up a wheat seedling at the edge of the field, and after carefully observing the root system, she threw it aside and stood on the ridge of the field, looking into the distance.

From this position you can clearly see the gate of the fortress.

I saw a carriage leading a convoy leaving the fort in a mighty manner.

It was the transportation team led by the lord's friend Roy, who would come to the fort every two months, and Sophia also asked Roy to bring things from Thunder City several times.

Thunder City is very prosperous. Sophia lived for a while before going to the Western Continent. With her status, she can stay there, go in and out of high-end restaurants every day, go to a concert once a week, and occupy a good seat at the king's celebration every year. .

But that is not the life she yearns for. She would rather stay in the plantation every day, with the soil and wheat seedlings as companions.

……

Inside the carriage.

Roy looked at the friend in front of him with a distressed expression: "Are you really going away secretly like this? What if there is something important in the fortress?"

Colin looked out from the gap in the curtains. The construction of Winter City was in full swing, and he no longer needed to pay attention to it all the time.

"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements, and I'm only going to Thunder City to meet the teacher, and then I'll return to the fortress 'quickly'."

……

As usual, Tessa would come to work in the garden not far from the mage's tower for an hour at five o'clock in the afternoon. She liked this way of relaxation very much.

The garden has been refurbished, and now it is filled with all kinds of flowers that she likes again. When she sees the flowers, she thinks of her younger brother, and when she thinks of her younger brother, she thinks of those horrible ryegrass back then.

The vitality of that kind of pasture is simply astonishing. After being eradicated several times, it will grow again from the corners. In the end, I asked the teacher to use the powerful earth magic to turn the soil over and over again, so that it is now full of vitality.

Thinking of this, Tessa patted her chest, still feeling terrified.

However, the next moment, she heard footsteps behind her.

Turning around, he saw Colin Wayne standing not far away, covering his mouth in shock.

"Sister."

After more than a year, seeing his senior sister again, Ke Lin had mixed feelings.

If he had to choose the person closest to him in this world, it might not be the teacher, Roy, or even Veronica, but Tessa in front of him.

The senior sister can't help him much, she can't count on her academically, and she has long lagged behind her in magic. She just tells him to eat, prepares a change of clothes for him every day, urges him to go to bed early, gives him pocket money, and gives him pocket money when he goes out. Help him turn up his collar...

But Colin just couldn't live without her.

During this period of time in the fortress, what he was most unaccustomed to was not having a senior sister by his side.

Thinking about it, the senior sister should also miss him very much.

Colin cheerfully walked towards the garden, ready to give him a big hug.

However, before he got close, the always gentle senior sister suddenly stretched out her hand to stop her and shouted, "Stop, don't enter the garden."

Colin was stunned.

Tessa flew up, landed in front of her, and hugged him.

While Ke Lin nephrite was warming her fragrance, her first thought was: Senior sister's lightness technique has regressed again...

……

Walking side by side on the way back to the Mage Tower, Tessa babbled about the details after the parting. The content was nothing more than some trivial things in life, and the teacher always mentioned Colin in the chat. Some are jealous and so on.

At the same time, after walking a few steps, he had to sort out Colin's clothes and accessories sideways, and kept complaining about his clothes.

In fact, until now, Colin's clothes were prepared by his senior sister and Veronica before he left. They are very high-grade and tasteful, but after being matched by someone, they look nondescript.

Ke Lin enjoyed the nagging of his senior sister very much, and occasionally talked about what he had seen and heard in the fortress.

As he approached the Mage Tower, Colin suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.

The tall and majestic tower has not changed in any way, but there is a white-haired old man with a pipe standing in front of the tower.

In Ke Lin's memory, the teacher always sat in the study and smoked, and he could hardly recall the appearance of him walking out of the magic tower.

This is the first time I've seen it.

Roman Sagan had obviously noticed the disciple's arrival.

Colin took a deep breath and walked quickly to the teacher.

The magister, who was nearly a hundred years old, did not have the joy he imagined, but a solemn expression.

After a moment, he took the pipe out of his mouth.

"you succeeded?"

There was some imperceptible tremor in the serious voice.

The thoughtless words made Colin extremely comfortable.Among the people he knows, only the teacher can maintain the same thinking frequency as him at any time. To put it bluntly: everyone else is too stupid.

"Yes, teacher." Colin bowed deeply: "I succeeded."
