Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 368 The Territory of Recovery

The weather has improved, and all kinds of work in the territory, such as construction and farming, have started in full swing.

There was the roar of machinery in the field, and five magical rotary cultivators could be seen from a distance happily galloping. Large tracts of land were refurbished, and it took only a short while to complete an acre of land, which was faster than manpower did not know. how many times.

This is the first time that the Magic Energy Rotary Tiller has been put into production since it was developed. The whole process went very smoothly and there were no major problems.

There are a few strong farmers driving the mana machines. The operation of these machines is not that complicated. After half a cold winter of training, they can basically control them freely.

After a short period of adaptation, their movements in the field became more and more proficient.

At this rate, it would take about two weeks at most to complete the cultivation of the thousands of acres of land in the territory.

The land infiltrated by snow water is very moist and soft, saturated with water, and mixed with a large amount of nitrogen compounds doped in snow water, which is equivalent to a comprehensive soil fertilization in advance.

The land after plowing is mainly planted with two types of crops, spring wheat and corn, bred by Habi. At present, they have only undergone relatively simple breed selection, which is not much improved compared to before.

There are also seedlings of some crops with low cold resistance in the greenhouse, and it is necessary to wait for a while until the temperature rises completely before planting.

What Chu Xin was looking forward to most was a clump of small watermelon seedlings. The treasure he found in the Green Goblin Forest was the size of a fist. When opened, it had the same watery flesh as a watermelon. Chu Xin named it Small Watermelon.

There are still some fruit trees in the territory today, such as apple trees, tribute pear trees, and banana trees, etc. Among them, the apple trees are rewarded by the system and have an excellent taste, and the tribute pear trees are all transplanted from the Green Goblin Forest. of fruit trees.

Wild fruit trees, more or less, still have some shortcomings in terms of varieties. They either have few fruits, are small in size, or have poor taste. At present, they can only satisfy their greed for the time being. It will take generations to reach the level of large-scale popularization. breed selection.

Habi has a team of more than 50 people, gathering high-level agricultural talents from the entire territory, and the main job is to breed varieties.

The basic requirement of crops is the output, followed by the taste, while the fruit category is the opposite, the first is the taste, and the second is the output.

Their main research base is in the greenhouse, which has been expanded several times, covering an area of ​​about 500 mu, and there are large experiential fields inside.

This world relies more on God's will for breed selection, and it has never been transformed into a professional academic field like this, conducting experiments and research on a large scale.

Agriculture, for many empires and dynasties, is very important because food is needed for war, but not so important, because food will not directly help them win the war.

Chu Xin attaches great importance to this area. At the beginning, Habi didn't particularly understand the significance of the lord's doing this, but as the experiment continued to deepen, he gradually realized the far-reaching significance. One ear of wheat with more than ten grains More than 30 grains is not a concept at all.

Hubby, who opened the door to the new world, was full of energy and spent at least twenty hours in the greenhouse 24 hours a day.

As for the cultivation of the farmland, the people under him will arrange it.

Habi's current team has expanded to more than 300 people, occupying most of the population, and his subordinates are divided into three parts.

The Agricultural Science Institute is in charge of variety breeding and plant research, the Agricultural Machinery Institute is in charge of agricultural machinery, and ordinary farmers are responsible for various miscellaneous tasks such as irrigation and weeding.

Habi's management is not bad, and his ability is constantly rising with the promotion of his position. He is also constantly working hard to learn and improve in the process of constantly adapting to his new identity and status.

Chu Xin didn't expect that this seemingly simple-minded farmer could gradually grow to this stage.

There is also a lot of good news on the ranch.

The black-haired pig gave birth to two litters of piglets, adding up to a total of 19 piglets. Under Wuli's meticulous care, they have passed the early childhood when they were prone to premature death, and they have grown to a weight of [-] to [-] catties. They are very healthy Lively.

The domestic pigs also grew very fast, breaking through a hundred catties.

However, Chu Xin is still reluctant to kill, and has been raising them with good food and drink, waiting to continue to give birth and expand the scale, at least to reach 100.

On the side of the cattle and sheep herd, there are more than 20 more cattle and more than 50 sheep. Their reproduction is much more difficult than that of pigs, which is entirely due to the huge population size.

However, during this period of time, cubs will be born one after another. The nature of animals is like this. When they are in a relatively stable environment, their reproduction speed will gradually increase, rapidly expanding the number of populations.

In the winter, Chu Xin had eaten two or three old cows and sheep. Although the quality of the meat was a bit poor, the taste was quite good.

On Rhodes' side, the point system has been completed, and it has officially started to operate since the end of the cold winter.

After completing the current day's work, you can earn points if you take the initiative to work overtime or make major contributions, and some special jobs also have corresponding post point subsidies.

It is foreseeable that there will be a large number of loyal supporters of "996" in the territory in the future.

Of course, there are not no lazy people. There are also those who hide in the house and want to avoid work, or spend a long time fishing and paddling at work. As long as they are caught, punishment is one of them. broadcast.

With the increase in the population of the territory, Ron's management and logistical pressures are also increasing day by day, but he is relatively experienced, and the village he has managed has thousands of people, and he can barely support it.

But if the population of the territory continues to expand, Chu Xin must consider the division of regions, which is something he has always considered.

At present, there is a trend, such as agriculture, animal husbandry, and logistics management on Ron's side, and the three areas are gradually being separated.

Chu Xin is still waiting for Ron's management staff to grow up. After they mature, they can be distributed to various regions to assist in independent management.

Including the establishment of some small villages and towns outside the territory in the future, all of which require corresponding management talents. There are too few ready-made talents, and Chu Xin mainly relies on training.

On the whole, the loss to Chu Xin this winter is not that big. Backed by the Jiuqu River, the Green Goblin Forest, and many fish ponds, the whole winter only reduced the territory's food reserves by less than half. look.

The remaining ones are still enough to last for more than a month. There is no way. The current population of the territory has expanded again. The number of soldiers and the people of the territory is about eight or nine thousand. People eat horses and chew them. The daily consumption is quite horrifying.

In Chu Xin's view, such a small amount of grain is naturally too little. To him, there must be at least enough grain and grass in the warehouse for the territory to consume for three years, so as to make him feel at ease.
