Chương 20: Gold is in the sea, catch the whales
Augustus in his room dressed in his noble male clothes again.
She watched the torn dress burn inside the fireplace, after all, that dress was no longer fit to wear.
Augustus got everything, ready to return to the West, after all his father will go to the capital and as heir he must manage the territory
Augustus tied his hair in a huge braid and left the room.
----------------------------
Augustus wanted to say goodbye to his brother-in-law Oberyn, but it looks like he wasn't the only one having fun yesterday, the sand snake got lost in some brothel
Then he took leave of his host Steffon and then left for his home.
Galen and his soldiers proudly followed and protected Augustus
the days of travel were peaceful, stopping only to sleep in inns, without suffering any robbery attempts, after all, no bandit has the courage to rob the Lannister family
Finally reaching Casterly Rock, Augustus saw his mother waiting for him.
Without Tywin, Cersei, and Jaime, who is a squire, Joanna now just has Tyrion around her so naturally that she was happy to see her eldest son.
Augustus hugged his mother, then held his little dwarf brother in his arms.
"brother you defeated really won the tournament?" Tyrion was excited
"yes, your brother is the strongest alive" Augustus
"wowwwww, brother you are so strong, so can you capture a dragon for me?" Tyrion
Augustus smiled
"Of course, one day I'll give you a dragon as a present" Augustus
Joanna and the others around laughed, thinking it was a joke.
However, under Augustus' beautiful smile, his eyes were serious, not a joke.
----------------------------------
After resting a bit, Augustus went to his uncle Kevan
in Tywin's absence, Kevan is responsible for everything, of course Augustus spent time with his uncle to learn management
Your talent in battle is the best, but learning to manage a territory takes time and experience.
so even though he had some modern ideas, Augustus never put any of them into practice.
The biggest change that Augustus wanted to make is to implement the Crop Rotation technique in the soil, planting here is still always done with the same thing, which damages the soil and consequently reduces what can be planted.
Maintaining soil quality and health is one of the most important things in agriculture.
However, even though it is the local sovereign noble house, this is not easy to do, as there are many vassals. In addition, food is the greatest wealth of the people.
Risk the plantation? very few people can do this, convince people based on science? it's easier to rain elephants
This is why this technique can only be used in the area that is already directly controlled by the Lannisters, however the Lannisters' wealth comes from mining and not agriculture.
it is precisely because there is little area for agriculture and lower profits that Augusto convinced his father to test the rotation, it took months of effort to convince until finally Tywin accepted
Once the current crop is harvested, Augustus and Kevan will authorize the experiment.
However, increasing food production would not generate wealth quickly, after all, even if it increases, it will take a few years.
Then the vision of Augustus looked out over the huge sea and saw the gold, finance boats of better fishing to the fishermen of lannisport and put them to hunt whales
Currently, whale fishing is ignored, because their meat is horrible, but the richness is not in the meat, but in the whole body.
Whale oil can produce lighting, lubricants, margarine and soap
in addition, whale fins are great for producing women's clothing such as corsets.
If the Lannisters master the production of this, the wealth generated will perhaps even be greater than their gold mines.
what about the part of ending up driving species to extinction? let future generations worry about it
in some sheds in the port, Augusto observed huge fishing grounds in the final stages of construction, his beautiful smile impressed the craftsmen
