Chapter 36 Occupations and Agriculture
When Ji Lin led the musketeers to clear the monsters and bandits outside the resource points, the territory began a new day. This spring-like environment is very suitable for sowing at any time. Many villagers who have not been assigned work tasks were arranged to cultivate and sow more fields.
The excavated water diversion channel led the gushing green water from the medium-sized lake, and the green fields were spread all over the fields. Tender seedlings emerged from the mud. Villagers in cloth clothes carried buckets and walked in the fields. Four windmills as high as the center of the town were slowly rotating.
The whole territory was filled with vitality.
Chongshan put on the same rough cloth clothes as Li Erlang and stood in the fields. It was difficult to investigate everyone by knocking on the door one by one in one night. They only recorded the data of more than 200 people in one night. However, because they assigned people to each house one by one, the fixed ten people in each house had the same job.
Such a rough distribution method is a convenient way to save time. Previously, there were only three kinds of work in the territory: gathering, mining, and farming. This distribution method is not a big problem. Now, we need to prepare for the promotion of the next era and select professionals.
According to the previous records, they went to the houses of the villagers who needed to go out to work to register the records first, and the villagers responsible for farming could leave it until tomorrow.
They walked on the field with a bag of white paper. When they were tired, they sat on the lawn beside and watched the busy farming.
"What do you think of this land?"
"Mr. Chong, I have never seen such good land. The terrain here is flat, and the land is the best black soil with sufficient fertility. This weather is the best season for sowing and this fertile land..." Li Erlang showed a hesitant expression: "This fertile land does not need to be reclaimed, just like it grows in the ground. The rice seeds just sown will sprout in just one day. Look, those are wheat seeds planted nine days ago."
Li Erlang pointed to the two-finger-high seedlings that had grown in the land, which were green and dripping.
He couldn't help but feel a little happy when he looked at the seedlings. With a good harvest, the village can have enough food, and when they have enough food, the village will not be easily disturbed.
"If this growth can be maintained, the wheat can be harvested in just two months."
Chongshan made his own judgment based on the agricultural knowledge in his mind. Being good at agriculture is not just a bonus when the system is built. Those knowledge have been lingering in his mind since he was born.
He could also see at a glance that the planning of this farmland needed to dig more canals. Li Erlang did not make a plan. He just carefully managed the plan arranged by Ji Lin and did not dare to change it easily. The fields planned by Ji Lin were all multi-pieces, and a space the size of a lane was left between each large piece of farmland. Such farmland planning can double the transportation efficiency after having a cart.
He took out a piece of white paper and began to draw several ordinary canals with the lake as the center. There was no blueprint for this agricultural facility system. Only those large canals that could be called buildings had blueprints for sale.
These improvements are also recognized by the system. If Ji Lin is there, he will see the improvement logo floating on the fertile land.
[Farmland]
[Crops]: Wheat (15%)
[Drainage Channel]: There is a drainage channel near this farmland, and the growth rate is +5%
These improvements are rewards from the system to the lords who make improvements according to local conditions. Those less fertile territories can also use resource-based items to add resources to the territories to exert their capabilities. Sometimes Ji Lin feels that this is a bit data-based, but not so data-based.
At least at the beginning, as long as you think hard, you can always find the room for improvement left.
Until the nutrients are absorbed.
Ninety square kilometers, the area of a city.
One city after another will also rise under the lord.

It is very difficult. They are almost finished touring the entire territory. Among the eight hundred people, there are more than ten blacksmiths and one teacher. There are more than one hundred people who have experience in raising animals, but when they heard that they were going to raise spiders, they shook their heads and refused.
For this reason, Chongshan did not force these villagers to work, because if they can't do it, they can't do it.
"If you really can't find anyone, you can find a few brave people, and then think of a way when you reach the third book."
Ji Lin said this to Chongshan. When he went out to clear the monsters today, he took away all the scout hunting spiders cultivated in the ranch. During the one-day clearing yesterday, he found a serious problem with his musket team. He had to go to the monster's hatred area to pull them out of the resource point, and the muskets could only fire two rounds, and could not take advantage of the 200-range advantage.
They also had to face the enemy's direct charge.
The disadvantage of not having a frontal line of defense was immediately apparent.
To solve this problem, he could only pull out the five scout spiders that had been raised to replace the pulling.
[Scout Hunting Spider (Scout)]
[Melee Defense]: 40
[Movement Speed]: 20km/h
[Armor Strength]: 20
[Organization/Morale]: 60
[Weapon Power]: 20
[Features]:
Scout: This unit has a faster speed, but is not suitable for frontal combat.
Adaptation to Harsh Environments: This unit is less affected by harsh environments, -30% environmental factors, +20% toxin resistance.
Swarm Tactics II: As the number of this unit increases, the hit rate and melee defense will increase, and the bonus will reach a maximum of 30% as the number reaches 1.5 times
Nocturnal Movement: This unit can move at night and suffer less vision loss.
Concealment: This unit can lurk in environments such as forests and reduce its visibility.
[Introduction]: These hunting spiders that are fed and domesticated will follow the instructions of the commander and attack the targets they lock on with a swift posture.
The scout hunting spider has a very high movement speed and is also very comprehensive. It can adapt to harsh environments, move at night and conceal, and does not consume the territory population. It can be used as cannon fodder to fill the attributes that make it extremely popular.
The classification of scouts means that it belongs to the high mobility of scouts. The system describes scouts as not suitable for frontal combat, which is completely bullshit. Among the scouts, only half are not suitable for frontal combat, 40% have decent frontal combat capabilities, and the last 10% have stronger frontal combat capabilities than ordinary troops.
There are also various sniper scouts that can slap you out of the blue.
"The hunting spiders are mild-tempered when they are well-fed. If you are lucky enough to tame them, a tamer will appear. Uh, spiders should not be considered wild beasts, but they are considered a kind of wild beast in the system's classification."
Ji Lin was also a little distressed by the situation reported by Chongshan. If he had reached level 3, he could have built an inn or a special building to recruit talents.
He thought for a moment, and then ordered Chongshan to go out and post. If anyone was willing to raise the hunting spiders, he could get an extra piece of meat every day.
The territory now has no proper pastures. All the meat is the various meats he got from hunting monsters. Some of the meats with decent quality are sold in the market for gold. There are always people who are willing to satisfy his appetite. The ordinary ones are placed outside to dry. He has not found any salt mines yet. The salt used is still obtained through market transactions in exchange for grain.
Not everyone starts with a good terrain like the plains like him. According to the forum vote, only 30% of the lords have large plots of land that can be cultivated in their birthplaces. Many lords are still in the situation of buying and selling resources to feed their families.
A huge trading market is rapidly taking shape. In addition to the system, the middleman, which is frantically collecting transaction taxes, this transaction tax is nothing compared to the lossless transmission of resources.
The villagers can eat a piece of meat weighing 100g every three days. The piece of meat he offered is already a very high reward for the villagers in the territory.
