    Chatting, Yunyao also joined in to chat with the barons.  Asking about the harvest, asking about livestock, and asking about the population and management of their fiefs, it feels like a leader going to the countryside to inspect the work.

    How is the harvest this year? Have any of the livestock at home given birth? What is the population structure of the fief, how many savages and Chinese people are there? How many trees and bamboos are there in the fief? Is there enough water and how is it irrigated

    Soon Yunyao became familiar with everyone. After all, everyone is a baron and they all run fiefs. When they get together, they naturally talk about farming and agricultural production.  From the envious tones of the other barons, you can tell that Yunyao's fiefdom on the river bank is a good piece of land, with fertile land and convenient irrigation.

    "Actually, half of the people in the tent know your father." The oldest, toothless Baron with thinning hair said: "He is very hard-working and a good person."

    "I would also like to thank you all for taking care of our Zhu family." Yunyao said politely.

    "Not to mention taking care of you, your Zhu family is better than us. You cultivate more land than us, you have more harvests, and your life is much better than us." "Unlike my family, which has four children, now we even have grandchildren.  , the noise every day gives me a headache, either there is not enough food to eat, or there are not enough seeds for cultivation. This time to build the 'River Mansion', I must borrow grain and seeds for cultivation, and I can't delay it any longer."

    "Isn't that right? If I can borrow enough food to open up wasteland first, I can open up a few more pieces of land in my fiefdom, so that my brothers will not have to do nothing all day long."

    Yunyao found that the population of her family was indeed small, but at the same time, the number of savages in the fief was the largest among all the barons, even more than the viscount.  These are all gifts, rewards for life-saving grace.

    The viscount's family may not have a population of nearly a hundred savages, because the nobles are divided into large and small clans. The large clans are the nobles who inherit the noble titles, while the small clans have no titles. They either stay in the fiefdom and farm, or they learn something.  Door technology enters the capital.

    Most of the small clans still stayed in the fiefdoms to farm. Some noble families existed as early as the Shang Dynasty. After coming to Lu and obtaining the fiefdoms, there was no need for savages at all, and the proportion of the clan population greatly exceeded the savages.

    A clan with a small population like Yunyao can easily be bullied by a clan with a large population. After all, the clan members are all family members with the same blood, and the savages can only be considered outsiders.  When things really happen, the clan members are more reliable and have stronger cohesion, while the savages are unreliable.

    "The sheep and pigs I raised in my fief this year were all pretty good, and they all gave birth to babies. But when it rained in May, the barn collapsed and crushed a sow to death. They were all pregnant at the time, but I regretted it.  I'm dead." Fang Gu talked about this huge loss, and his face is full of regrets to this day.

    The other barons also expressed their regrets empathetically. They are all working people, and they all long for good weather, abundant harvests, and flocks of cattle and sheep.  Because the amount of output from the land directly determines the baron's economy, if it produces a lot, it will be rich, and if it produces little, it will be tight.

    ¡°Each fief is a small closed world, and the food and clothing are produced by the fief itself. Although the small-scale peasant economy in which men farm and women weave has not yet formed, it has already taken shape.  It's just that cultivating farmland now requires a lot of labor, and it can't be done by a family of two. When the land is reclaimed, crops are improved, and looms are improved, then the smallest economic element will not be fiefs, but small families.

    Everyone had a lively chat, and Yunyao also shared some of her own farming tips: ¡°We don¡¯t have bone juice to irrigate the ground, but we can use dung water to irrigate the ground.¡±

    Does anyone think it¡¯s okay?  You can give it a try, they are all willing to try new farming techniques.

    Bone juice is a fertilizer that only the great princes can afford. It is a soup made from livestock bones. After cooling, it is poured into the ground to increase the fertility of the land.  Yunyao definitely couldn't afford it, so he built a public toilet in the fief early and watered the ground with manure: "You can go back and try it. Watering it in winter will be just right, and next year's harvest will definitely be more than this year. This is what my family does, and it has been  It¡¯s proven.¡±

    ??Everyone heard that Yunyao had already practiced it, and they were all moved.  Experience is extremely important knowledge in an agricultural society, and sharing experience through chat is an inevitable means to promote agricultural development.

    After talking about agriculture, the next step is to talk about some private life. Although they are just barons, their private lives are very exciting.  Regardless of Yunyao's presence, they began to talk about the taste of savage women.

    "Although Chinese women have good skin and don't smell bad, savage women are so powerful that their shouts can be heard throughout the fief." Everyone was enjoying discussing these colorful topics, even Fang Gu, a guy who looked very gentle.  His eyes were shining. If he hadn't admitted it himself, who would have known that he had four women, three of whom were savages, and four children.

    In this Western Zhou Dynasty, when the average age was only more than thirty years old, twenty-year-oldGroups of concubines are common among nobles.  As the most down-to-earth hereditary noble, the baron is very hard-working and does not have much time to learn advanced knowledge, so he is also very rude when doing color.

    Yunyao pricked up her ears and said nothing. She couldn't talk about this topic. She really envied these rough people.  However, she thought of the image of the female savage in the fief, and thought that she was indeed an ancestor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and her taste was unmatched.

    Fortunately, I didn¡¯t ask Master to come with me. If Hong Sang was here, I wouldn¡¯t have the chance to listen to the barons talking about the simple humanities and customs of the Western Zhou Dynasty.  These barons didn't have any scruples. Each one was more bragging than the last. Yunyao had the illusion of listening to a short movie. These lucky men were really envious of the time travellers.

    By the time we¡¯ve finished talking about business and leisure, it¡¯s almost time to have dinner.  Because it is a meal sharing system, the food delivered is in one portion.  Each baron has a small table with a wooden board on it. There is not even a bowl. On the chopping board is a pile of cooked rice with stones in it.

    When the number of guests increases, hospitality becomes less refined.  It is understandable, after all, nearly a thousand people gathered together, and it was difficult for the palace cooks to prepare so much food.

    For such a large-scale event, the chef has to direct a cooking team of more than 100 people to cook, and it is impossible to cover everything.

    There is only rice and nothing else for dinner.  The food will be better tomorrow, when sheep and cattle will be cooked, meat, salt, fruits and sauces will be divided according to different titles, and of course there will be drinks.

    The barons didn¡¯t think the food was bad, but they all ate very slowly.

    Fang Gu said to Yunyao, who was participating in the shooting ceremony for the first time: "Eat slowly, your stomach will be empty by tomorrow, and you can have a big meal by then. The food in the shooting ceremony is very rich and delicious, and there are many of us  It¡¯s delicious food that you can¡¯t even afford. It would be a shame if you don¡¯t finish it, so everyone is looking forward to tomorrow.¡±

    Eating is indeed a habit burned into genes, and people in Zhou Dynasty have been tirelessly pursuing eating.

    The other barons salivated when they thought about tomorrow's delicious food. They all had the same idea, and they all wanted to save their stomachs for tomorrow.
