The retting technique was highly praised by the great polymath Alex
“I live in the Red Keep, but I often need to go to several academies in Stormrage City to attend classes. Every time I go in and out of Stormrage City, it almost kills me… The streets where sewage flows, residents pour it directly into the streets. Shit water!”
Alex’s face was pale when he complained, and it was obvious that recalling the experience of going to class was a mental blow to him.
Russell nodded with deep understanding: “I understand.”
He had also been to Stormrage City, in order to buy serfs. The environment in Stormrage City was indeed very poor, and it was not a place for people to live.
This is why most nobles would rather stay in country manors than live in the city.
“But with this fertilization technology, once it is feasible, Stormrage City will quickly usher in a change!” Alex is quite confident about this. “As long as the excrement is profitable, the residents will no longer mess around. Down.”
“I can prove this.” Russell smiled. “Since the introduction of retting fertilizer in my territory, the serfs are no longer willing to waste any excrement. They are even worried about others stealing their excrement and will hide it.”
“Haha, I hope this situation will happen in Stormrage City soon.” Alex said, “Sir Russell, I will present this fertilization technology to the round table as soon as possible. It may take some time to demonstrate. “
“I understand.”
“If the result is correct, then the retting technology you invented will definitely benefit the entire Grand Duchy! This will be a food revolution, as well as a revolution in civilization and hygiene, with a profound and far-reaching impact!”
“I brought this technology out just so that more people can benefit from it.” Russell smiled.
Alex was in awe: “You are a true nobleman of the Grand Duchy!”
The two then chatted about other things. Russell asked Alex about botany and learned about many novel plants. He also received a set of “Detailed Explanation of Plants of the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame” presented by Alex, which was full of pictures and texts.
It can be seen that these pictures are carefully drawn by the artist after observing the plants on the spot.
“It’s a pity that there are no photos. It’s difficult to identify just by relying on black and white pictures.” Russell sighed in his heart, thinking about when the camera would be invented, and then color printing would be developed, which would surely shock the world.
Although this invention was still in Russell’s mind, he still inadvertently shocked Alex again.
“I think the current standards for plant classification are very vague, and there should be a more scientific and systematic classification.” Russell said, “For example, plants of the same genus should be classified together, and plants of similar species should also be classified together. Categorized in one subject…”
He popularized the set of realms, orders, families, genera and species from his hometown on Earth.
This made Alex exclaim again and again: “What a genius idea, Mr. Russell, this is really a genius idea!”
“It’s just a personal thought.”
“No, no, no, this is definitely a genius idea. According to your description, our classification of plants will be clear at a glance. And you also said that this can also be applied to animals… You are really a born polymath! “
When Alex spoke, he had unconsciously used honorifics, which was a sign of respect for knowledge.
His beard trembled with excitement: “You should come to the Great Erudite Tower, you will definitely become a great Erudite! Sir Russell, you really should come to the Red Castle, your idea is admirable, even a great Erudite Be inspired by it!”
“I’m sorry, Sir Alex, I have territory to manage.” Russell declined politely.
If this was a world without extraordinary powers, Russell might seriously consider embarking on a scientific research path.
If nothing else, at least it’s safe.
But Longmian Continent has extraordinary power, and he has only one goal, which is to chase the extraordinary power and reach the peak of power. If you can live forever, that would be even more wonderful. If you can’t live forever, you have to live a vigorous life.
Alex suddenly smiled bitterly: “I almost forgot that you are still a young and promising lord.”
“Although I will not come to work in the Great Erudite Tower, nor will I attend classes in the academy, I will continue to delve into the ways of erudition and explore the truth of the world.” Russell smiled.
Alex personally sent Russell out of the Great Erudite Tower, and watched Russell ride away on the unicorn.
“Alas, why is such a natural scholar born in a noble family and himself a noble?” Alex sighed. He knew very well that it was impossible for nobles to give up their luxurious lives and spend so much energy studying the truth. .
Yalusi asked in confusion: “Your Excellency Russell…is he very powerful?”
“Amazing, no no no, more than amazing.” Alex praised, “Although I only chatted with him for an hour, I can conclude that in the future, the Round Table of Great Scholars will have a seat for Mr. Russell.”
“Ah, so awesome!”
“It’s a pity that he won’t focus on the path of erudition. Otherwise, he might become another great erudition scholar in the future.”
……
Russell was in a good mood after leaving the Great Scholar Tower.
Being able to show off in front of a group of the smartest scholars in the world is very satisfying to your vanity.
However, Russell also knows his own abilities. He can talk about the knowledge of his hometown on Earth. If he really devotes himself to studying erudition, he will soon show his timidity – he is not the material for studying science.
Go shopping and take in the sights.
It was night before he knew it, and he went directly to Cousin Mel’s small castle and had a sumptuous dinner.
We returned to Baron Roman’s tower at eight or nine o’clock.
At this time, Baron Roman happened to come back with his eldest brother Roland. Both father and son smelled of alcohol, but it was obvious that both of them were using their fighting energy to dissolve the alcohol and were not drunk.
“Russell, when did you come here?”
“I came here in the morning and walked around the Red Fort. I just came back from Cousin Mel’s place,” Russell said.
“The Red Castle is different from home. I am busy with official duties and see endless visitors every day.” Baron Roman complained.
However, Russell saw that in addition to the smell of alcohol, Baron Roman also had the faint smell of perfume, and there was even a lipstick mark on his neck under the collar. I don’t know whether the visitor at night is a man or a woman.
The eldest brother Roland said: “My father is now the finance minister of the Grand Duchy. He has to manage the money bag for the Red Fort, so it is inevitable that he will be tired.”
“Fortunately, you came here to help me share the burden, which made me feel a lot more relaxed.” Baron Roman said.
Russell was too lazy to listen to the business bragging between father and son, and asked directly: “Father, the elders have issued an appointment edict for me to serve as the assistant to the minister of volcanoes. What is going on? I am your father’s fief.” Sir?”
“It’s the dragon who recognizes you!” Roland said with a hint of jealousy, “How could your father stop your progress?”
“That’s right, I didn’t expect that the dragon would value you so much.” Baron Roman said proudly, “Lord Quintekai, the minister of the volcano, is over eighty years old and has been preparing to resign several times, so the next step is to train a successor. “
“Me?” Russell was surprised.
“How come, how old are you?” Baron Roman shook his head, “It’s Lord Welch. He was deprived of the right to ride a dragon, but he has made great contributions to the Grand Duchy, so he will take over as Minister of the Volcano.”
