Chapter 8: Vineyard

That is not the main point! The question is, why hasn't that guy come to bother us for several days?

Ma Xi is indeed a first-rate thug, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he starts cursing: "Dog shit! On what basis do you want me to change my name!"

"Cyber, I do not like your smile. In the future, when you face me, just smile; I believe a smile is a respectful smile. Your current expression is truly unpleasant," Kairal pointed out.

I heard that he bought a piece of farmland outside, and it is said that he is developing some kind of farm

Three months later, under the gaze of everyone...

I have never even heard of it

Before he could finish speaking, a stick as thick as a thumb struck him directly on the back of the head, breaking the stick in two, and his head was also severely injured.

The pronunciation of Masi and Kairal's mother, Marcy, is the same, so it is no wonder that Kairal immediately asked someone to change their name upon speaking

It was merely a test; although it was known that the cyber would certainly succeed, under the intervention of Grand Duke Andrei, only 1 perch (equivalent to 25 square meters) of grapes was obtained

Beneath the garden under the grape trellis, there is a sealed biogas pit. The manure and - illustrated - books are naturally used by the servants outside the estate. Additionally, the biogas pit is connected to an external gas pump, which can be activated with a simple press. (People in rural northern areas should be familiar with the principle of how a water pump works, which is simple yet capable of drawing water from deep sources; this principle is derived from that.)

From now on, Zhuangzi will be managed by you, and your monthly tribute will be ten silver coins. The development of gold mines in the Kingdom of Camelot is limited, with most buried in Ireland. Currently, Ireland and Britain are completely separate nations; therefore, the circulating currency in the Kingdom of Camelot is silver coins, which are exchanged with Roman silver coins. No one has yet discovered the dangers of having the economic system controlled by others, so these two types of currency are considered the circulating money of Camelot. There is no substantial basis for copper coins; in both Camelot and Rome, copper and iron are exclusively used for weapon manufacturing. Thus, below silver coins, only food is used for conversion. Consequently, the circulating currency of the Kingdom of Camelot is silver coins, which are exchanged with Roman silver coins. No one has yet recognized the risks of the economic system being manipulated, so these two currencies are regarded as the circulating money of Camelot. There is no significant foundation for copper coins; in Camelot and Rome, copper and iron are specifically for weapon casting. Therefore, below silver coins, only food is used for conversion. One silver coin can purchase approximately eighty pounds of food of equivalent value (one kilogram equals 2.2 pounds, in other words, pounds are equivalent to jin). Ten silver coins are roughly the annual income of a farmer.

Masi, no, it should be called Cyber. He crawled up and knelt on the ground, his face covered in blood, and awkwardly smiled, saying: "I do not know who you are, what business do you have with me?"

Ma Xi is a notorious villain in Hongye Fort, well-versed in all the ins and outs of the place. He knows which families can be provoked and which cannot, and he is famously known for his fear of the strong and bullying the weak. Recently, he has scoffed at the rumors that there are plenty of good things outside and that farming can be profitable—what does this ruffian not know about the outside world? Land may be good, but one must have a life to enjoy it! Not to mention wild beasts and thieves; just a single magical beast running amok in the fields could wipe out a year's harvest. Unlike him, who can eat wherever he goes, who in Hongye City would dare to say anything to him?

Unfortunately, when one is down on their luck, even drinking cold water can get food stuck in their teeth. Today, I returned home a bit late and was ambushed, thrown into a sack, and beaten up. I still do not know where I am.

Indeed, I am not sure if it will sell well

Hello, have you heard? That guy Masi actually changed his name

The farm is designed according to the successful agricultural model developed in later generations, dividing the area into sections for the breeding of animals. The innermost area is enclosed by walls, gradually diminishing the style of a bastion, with a pentagonal star shape serving as the estate. Within, there are villa-style houses, and below, there is a wine cellar, which is, of course, prepared for future wine production.

Yes, yes, yes. The cyber entity, unable to change its ways in a short time, merely laughed incessantly like a lapdog.

"I don't like it, change it. From now on, you will be called Cyber." The child above spoke again.

Patting Cyber on the shoulder, at Kairal's height, it is just right to reach when Cyber is half-kneeling

A basin of cold water brought Ma Xi back to consciousness, and he found himself surrounded by noble knights. A small child sat in the middle of the knights, looking at him from head to toe, with no expression on his face.

She disdainfully curled her lips and said, "Yes."

You have done well; from now on, be my servant and set an example for the ruffians in Hongye Fortress, so they understand that reformation is the only righteous path. Kairal waved his hand, and Cyber was immediately overjoyed, becoming even more eager.

It seems not, I heard that guy is growing ... ... V, Vitis? (grapes)

Similar words spread throughout Hongye Ridge, and even the many castles near Hongye Fort began to circulate them. Suddenly, this person named Saibo became the focus of attention, but where is this focus now

Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord! At this moment, Cyber can only kneel on the ground, expressing his unwavering loyalty with great excitement.

Do not say, I have heard that he presented something to the lord of the city. I have heard the lord mention that there are definite profits to be made outside, which is why he was so eager to directly purchase land with the money.

Using abandoned swamp water directly as fertilizer is far more effective than using natural manure, and aside from grapes and the garden, there is nothing else. Outside, there are farmhouses, including a barn for future domesticated dairy cows, as well as pastures for sheep and horses. It is uncertain whether pigs are native to the British Isles, but Keral took precautions and built a pigpen. Keral did not undertake any other miscellaneous tasks; this is merely an experiment and a study. His goal is to make the residents of Red Leaf Fortress aware that there are other crops besides wheat that can be cultivated and can also generate income. Furthermore, he aims to establish an ecological chain for the crops in the entire Red Leaf City, ensuring an abundance of resources and alleviating concerns about food scarcity.

"Are you Masi?" The little rascal above spoke up

Hmph, how could that good-for-nothing have money to buy land

Three days later

"Who I am is not important right now; I just have one thing to ask you to do..." The smile on that pretty little ghost face made Cyber want to punch it, but the nearby knights made him hesitate to act.

This focus is currently wearing a tailcoat modified by Kairal, following Kairal with a charming smile, pointing out the functioning farm.

Work hard and let those shrews at Hongye Fortress know that you are also capable of standing on your own. I believe you can do well if everything goes according to my script

Cut it out, that good-for-nothing shouldn't talk about farming; whether what he grows can sustain himself is another matter altogether

I changed my name! I changed my name!" Ma Xi shouted, lying on the ground like a dead dog
