6 Reclaiming farmland
In just one morning, the number of farmers in Xiaobai Village increased to 6, plus 5 players, a total of 11 laborers. In order to catch up with the farming season, Zhan Xiaobai personally rolled up his sleeves and trousers, led the Xiaobai Village members to create heroes, and devoted themselves to reclaiming wasteland in the farmland area of the village.
The validity period for planting is the first 5 days at the beginning of each month, and it will not be overdue. The first day of the public beta is January 1st, and now it is the second day. There are still 3 and a half days left to reclaim the land. Once you miss the farming time, you will not regret taking medicine.
Zhan Xiaobai went to check the system and asked about the number of small villages for players. Now more than 1,000 villages have been established in China, and it is estimated that another 2 to 3,000 will be added within these three days. If you build villages later, you will miss the first five days of farming time, and your life will be very sad.
The first month of grain competition will be extremely fierce. Xiaobai Village is the world's number one village, and its construction progress is temporarily in a limited leading position. It already has 3 thatched huts and 1 carpenter house. Most small villages in the world only have 1 to 2 thatched huts. Very few people can have craftsmen like Xiaobai Village.
The most important task now is to reclaim farmland.
Zhan Xiaobai and his friends had almost never been exposed to farmland. They tried to reclaim the fields for the first time, and their morale was high.
"Come on everyone!"
"Wow, I was a carpenter in the morning, but I turned into a farmer in the afternoon. According to the social status of scholars, farmers, workers and businessmen in ancient times, our social status has risen significantly." A Fei laughed at himself.
Zhan Xiaobai held a copper knife and dug the ground hard. The other four people except him also used copper knife to dig the ground. They had no hoe to use.
Each of the six farmers brought a hoe.
The village now has only one carpenter's house, and lacks a blacksmith shop, so it is impossible to make the iron hammer needed for hoes. The wooden plows made by carpenters can only be pulled by farmers. The efficiency of use is not high.
One thing to be explained. When a player comes out, he is at level 0, his health is 10, and his strength is 5. When an ordinary farmer comes out, he is at level 10, and his health is 100, and his strength is 10. Therefore, in the early stage, farmers are much more powerful than players. Players upgrade mainly depends on killing wild beasts and working experience. Farmers upgrade mainly depends on farming. Players need to be upgraded to about level 10 to compare the strength of farmers up to level 10.
Zhan Xiaobai had a bitter face and inserted the copper knife into the soil and continued to dig the soil. It was not easy to reclaim the land. After reclaiming a piece of land, he was so tired that he was panting and his enthusiasm disappeared. If it weren't for the lack of labor, he wouldn't have let them cultivate the fields.
"Squeak!"
With a scream, a gray shadow emerged from the soil and stood on the ridge of the field. His pointed head, fat body, and small and sharp claws stared at Zhan Xiaobai angrily.
Zhan Xiaobai was stunned. Damn, what is this? It's like a mouse, not much.
"mouse!"
As Fei was closest to Zhan Xiaobai, he screamed in surprise, threw down the work in his hand, and rushed towards the fat thing.
"Wrong, it's a big rat!" Qiu Shui corrected: "Also known as a field mouse, a turtle rat. It's different from a house rat."
"No matter what kind of rat it is, it is a good thing to get experience!"
A Fei rushed over and was about to take off his sword.
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "How can people get good things that have been experienced?" He quickly cut off the first thing.
"squeak!"
The fat and powerful rat turned into a pool of meat paste under his copper knife.
System prompt: "Kill Level 0 Rat and get Experience 1."
Zhan Xiaobai was deeply satisfied: "Yes, a voles can get 1 experience. There are 9 more people who can be upgraded to level 1."
A Fei rushed to the sky, got up, and said resentfully: "Brother reacted too quickly, it was actually faster than me 0.01 seconds. I was so embarrassed that I rushed to the sky. No, I have to earn back my experience."
Everyone laughed.
Zhan Xiaobai squatted down at the place where the field mouse crawled out, looked carefully, and said, "There is a field mouse nest here, and it is probably not just a field mouse. Everyone searched separately, and while working, they wiped out all the field mouse. They could also gain some experience."
Everyone became excited and began to look for the land of a mouse.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a few voles nests on the wastelands in the small village. There were dozens of voles on the ground of more than ten hectares. It was a huge meal of experience. There were at least ten voles in a nest, and each of them had been promoted to level 1. Everyone chased the voles and chopped them, and they were overjoyed.
The old village chief Li Asan was not on the arable land, and wandered around the village. Occasionally, he came to the arable land to look at it. When he saw piles of dead rats, he was shocked and exclaimed: "Rat disaster, rat disaster! If it is not completely eliminated, there will be no harvest at the end of the month. Lord, please pay great attention to this and clear out all rat disasters in the small village!"
Zhan Xiaobai was amused when he heard this, and accidentally did a serious business. Anyway, the five of them could not reclaim acre of land in one day, so they could just kill the field mice. This job was easy and gained experience.
"All the generals obey orders and try their best to kill rats, and there must be no mistakes."
"Here!"
The village chief's administrative courtyard, craftsmanship area, trade area, residents' thatched hut area, farming area, corner area, and within five meters outside the fence wall, they turned over the bottom of the sky, without missing any clues, and tried their best to encircle the field mice. In order to compete for a rat nest, they rushed to dig holes.
The next day, the last young field mouse was taken out from a hole more than one meter deep by Zhan Xiaobai and carried it in his hand.
"Oh, I really can't bear to kill you. Look, how small and pitiful. But I spared you today, and in a month I will be unable to recover. Come on, Ah Fei, give it a slaughter!"
Zhan Xiaobai threw the little field mouse to A Fei. He had already killed the field mouse so he didn't mind giving the little field mouse to A Fei at all.
Ah Fei's eyes were filled with tears, "Brother's conscience has been discovered." He took the little field mouse in surprise, and raised his knife and made a "click" sound.
"Dingdang" has been upgraded, and A Fei has become a level 2 civilian.
To kill the field rats to level 2, at least sixty need to be killed. The villagers of Xiaobai Village have become experts in rat-killing. Even Qiu Shui, a clean-loving beauty, has reached level 2, let alone Jianba, Chunqiu Young Hero and others. A Fei was most at a disadvantage. Every time he tried to grab the field rats from Zhan Xiaobai, but if he couldn't, the level was the lowest.
By the end of the rat-killing operation, Xiaobai Village had 15 farmers.
Because of the low quality of farm tools, each farmer can only reclaim 1 acre of farmland in one day. From yesterday to today, a total of 19 acres of land have been reclaimed.
Zhan Xiaobai often stayed alone to observe the quality of the farmland. He was disappointed to find that they were all inferior farmland with a yield of -30%. The normal farmland yield per mu is 50 jin/1 mu, and his farmland yield per mu is 35 jin/mu. (Because it is January 1, the yield per mu is very low. In a year, the yield per mu is actually very high.)
Xiliang's natural production conditions are harsh, and it turns out that's true.
During the internal testing, he built a small village in the rich Jiangnan, with a farmland producing +30% grain, up to 65 jin/mu. This is the gap. Building a village in Jiangnan can easily make you have abundant food, rich money, and easy to develop infantry.
Zhan Xiaobai has not considered this. However, Xiliang has the advantage of Xiliang, that is, it is easy to obtain strategic materials - war horses, and then form cavalry that dominates the world. The importance of horses is enough to offset the lack of money. It is extremely difficult to obtain war horses in Jiangnan.
If you want to compete for the world, you must not consider the early momentary advantages of Jiangnan.
Zhan Xiaobai touched his nose and smiled dryly. Those were all too far-fetched. The key point now is to think about how to get food and raise more farmers. Now 19 acres of land have been reclaimed, and this little land can only produce 665 kilograms of grain in a month.
"Lord, something is not good." Li A San rushed over in a panic.
"What's wrong?"
Zhan Xiaobai said strangely. He was holding back even when the sky fell. What's the point of panic?
Li A San ran to the front and said repeatedly: "Wild boar, a wild boar is attacking the village fence wall!"
Zhan Xiaobai said intimately: Damn, it turned out to be a "a" wild boar. I thought there were so many.
Chapter completed!
