Chapter 236 Reclaiming farmland

Beside the farmland east of Ratchet Town.

Yang Yi asked Jiagu the question he was most concerned about: "Jiagu, look, all the farmland here is used to grow oats. How many fishmen can be fed?"

Jagu made some estimates and replied: "The growth period of oats is about 80 to 100 days, and the harvest per acre of ordinary farmland is usually about 30 to 50 kilograms."

"In order to balance farmland nutrition and prevent miscellaneous diseases, crop rotation is needed to achieve normal oat yields. Therefore, it is best to only plant two seasons a year, and plant previous crops such as flax and pasture at other times."

"Based on the fact that an adult fishman consumes an average of 300 kilograms of food a year, it takes about 4 acres of land to feed an adult fishman. I took a rough look and found that there are nearly 500 acres of farmland in Ratchet Town, so it can probably feed an adult fishman. More than one hundred and twenty adult fishmen.”

"What!? Can you feed more than one hundred and twenty fishmen?" Yang Yi was greatly surprised.

Yang Yi has never been to the fields and has no understanding of the harvests of the fields. He originally thought that the farmland east of Ratchet Town was already very large, but he didn't expect that it could only support so many murlocs.

"Jiagu, the farmland we have reclaimed in Ratchet Town is not first-level farmland, it is basically third- and fourth-level farmland." Yang Yi explained.

So far, these 500 acres of farmland are still within the town limits recognized by Ratchet Town. These farmlands also have system special effects attached to the system lottery buildings, so Yang Yi upgraded them all to level three or four.

If we go further out to cultivate farmland, we will almost be outside the limits of the town.

If it is outside the scope, even if you use the architectural drawings drawn by the system to build farmland, it will only have the same building functions as the purchased drawings, without the special effects of the drawings drawn by the system.

"Oh, if there are farmers of the corresponding level, the output will double every three levels of farmland level. Your farmland can support approximately two hundred and fifty adult fishmen." Jia Gu said.

Jagu didn't know that the farmland in Ratchet Town had special system effects. The yield was estimated based on ordinary farmland.

"By the way, I forgot to mention that with intensive farming, a farmer can only take care of ten acres of land." Jia Gu added.

In other words, fifty farmers are needed to cultivate these 500 acres of farmland.

"I didn't expect that such a large piece of farmland could not support many fishmen." Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh after learning about the situation.

"It's just five hundred acres of farmland, which is not big at all. At least fifty thousand or one hundred thousand acres must be cultivated, then it can be considered to be of some scale." Jia Gugu said on the ground.

Farmland reclamation is usually in units of thousands or ten thousand acres, which is why farmland must be reclaimed outside the city walls of towns.

Fifty thousand acres of land is equivalent to the area of ​​a square with a side length of less than 6 kilometers. It only takes about two hours for a capable beach patrol murloc to complete one lap, so what Jia Gu said is not an exaggeration.

"Are we still growing oats?" Jia Gu asked Yang Yi.

"Of course we have to plant." Yang Yi said resolutely: "Isn't it just to open up farmland? Just as you said, Ratchet Town will open up 50,000 or 100,000 acres, and then plant them all with oats."

Two months ago, Yang Yi would not have dared to say this, because there were not that many construction workers in Ratchet Town.

That's different now.

The construction of the third-level earth city wall of Backwater Village took more than a month. The construction murlocs of Ratchet Town worked with the senior stonemasons of the Defias Brotherhood, and they benefited a lot.

The stonemasons of the Defias Brotherhood are all expert-level construction workers, and there are even some master-level and grandmaster-level ones. This is a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity for construction fishmen.

Therefore, after more than a month, the levels of almost all fish-man construction workers have been improved, and some with good qualifications have even been upgraded by two levels.

This opportunity to learn from high-level construction workers is most beneficial to construction apprentices who have accumulated a lot of experience but are stuck at the beginning. In just over a month, dozens of murloc construction apprentices have been successfully promoted to junior levels. builder.

Among all professions in life, construction workers originally had the largest number in Ratchet Town. Coupled with this increase, there are currently more than a hundred murloc construction workers in Ratchet Town.

There will be more and more construction workers in Ratchet Town in the future, so Yang Yi is still a little confident now.

If it takes a year or two to work hard, it is really possible for Ratchet Town to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of farmland.

"I'm afraid that when the farmland is reclaimed, there won't be enough murloc farmers to farm it." Yang Yi looked at Jia Gu.

"Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it." Jia Gu confirmed, patting his chest, "As long as Ratchet Town is responsible for providing Lao Chen's Storm Spirits."

"Don't worry, if you can solve the farming issue for us in Ratchet Town, the Laochen Storm Spirit brewed in the future will be supplied to you first, and you will have enough control over other drinks." Yang Yi also gave Jia Ancient promise.

The matter of farming has always been something he has never forgotten. If it can be solved, it will be extremely helpful to the development of Ratchet Town.

After receiving Yang Yi's promise, Jiagu was full of energy, and nothing could mobilize his enthusiasm more than fine wine.

So Jia Gu immediately mentioned to Yang Yi: "Mayor Poseidon, although oat cultivation is suitable for planting in a variety of soil conditions, the soil requirements are not strict. But if you want to achieve high yields of oats, they should be planted in nutrient-rich areas. , better in farmland with loose soil.”

"Oh, you are the expert in this area. If you have any requests, just ask, Ratchet Town will fully cooperate with you." Yang Yi said.

"In order to achieve a high yield of oats, in addition to good seeds, deep plowing and fertilization are also required. Deep plowing of the soil requires plowing tools and plowing livestock. For fertilizer, you can use harvested ragweed mixed with manure and compost it."

"I will ask people to buy oat seeds and farm tools. Do you mean cattle for plowing?" Yang Yi asked.

"Plowing oxen, plowing horses, plowing donkeys, etc. are all acceptable, as long as the animals are docile, have strength and endurance," Jia Gu said.

"docile, strong and durable." Yang Yi thought for a while, "there are quite a lot of kodos raised in Ratchet Town. Because no murloc knows how to train kodo mounts and fight kodos, those kodos There is no hope of training them into mounts or battlefields. I am currently planning to train them into cargo kodo beasts, so why not pull them out to help farm the fields?"

Jia Gu thought about it and thought it was okay, so he nodded:

"What about the fertilizer problem?" Jia Gu added: "The growth period of oats is short. Applying base fertilizer when the soil is deeply plowed is enough for the oats' entire growth period, so the amount of fertilizer in the early stage is larger."

"I understand, leave this matter to me."

Yang Yi was actually preparing to solve the problem of fishmen urinating everywhere in Ratchet Town.

Now the total number of large and small murlocs in Ratchet Town exceeds 10,000. Although Yang Yi has always asked murlocs to defecate into the sea, there are always murlocs who are disobedient and will be dealt with everywhere in Ratchet Town.

Therefore, although the current sanitary environment of Ratchet Town is much better than that of ordinary murloc villages, it is still far behind compared to human villages and towns.

It’s time to address this open defecation problem.

Yang Yi thought for a while. To solve the problem of open defecation, of course, the first step is to rely on publicity and education. As long as the quality of fish people is high, this problem can be solved naturally.

However, with the fishman's brain, it is estimated that the effect will not be so fast through publicity and education.

Yang Yi thought that this was mainly a matter of inconvenience. After all, as the area of ​​Ratchet Town expanded, every time the problem was solved, one had to go all the way to the seaside. This was really difficult for fishmen who were used to "freedom". It's a very puzzling thing.

Therefore, building more toilets is the solution.

Nowadays, growing oats in farmland requires manure as fertilizer, which coincides with Yang Yi's idea of ​​building toilets.

Yang Yi made arrangements immediately.

First, Yang Yi found Gulu and Hulu, the two major murloc construction workers in Ratchet Town.

These two murloc construction workers had been working with Van Cleef some time ago, and Van Cleef intended to teach them construction knowledge. Therefore, under Van Cleef's words and deeds, both murlocs were upgraded to level 5 construction workers and became advanced construction workers. Worked.

At present, the buildings that Yang Yi drew from the lottery system are only town level 1, so these two murloc builders have reached the top of Ratchet Town's building levels.

This made Yang Yi very happy, because it meant that when Ratchet Town upgraded to another level, he no longer had to worry about drawing unbuildable buildings from the system lottery.

"Gulu, this lord now gives you an important task. A large amount of farmland is needed to the east of Ratchet Town. I want you to build 10,000 acres of farmland within half a year. You can ask the old blind man for as many helpers and materials as you need. "Yang Yi said to Gulu.

Gulu is the oldest fish-man construction worker in Ratchet Town. His qualification is D level. Yang Yi intends to cultivate him this time.

There is no threshold for becoming a senior professional with D-level qualifications, while E-level qualifications can usually only become an intermediate professional.

Normally, it would be good for Gulu to become a senior construction worker, but Yang Yi saw that Hulu, who had E-level qualifications, also successfully became a senior construction worker under the guidance of Van Cleef. In addition, Gulu also has the expertise of "building buildings", so Yang Yi believes that Gulu still has potential that can be tapped, and maybe he can train an expert murloc builder for Ratchet Town.

Gulu was completely stunned when he heard the task assigned to him by Yang Yi. He always followed the arrangements and built buildings one by one. He never thought that there would be a task that lasted for half a year, and one task would build a whole building. Thousands of acres of farmland.

"Mayor, Gulu doesn't understand." Gulu was at a loss.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You can ask, you can learn, and you can figure it out on your own."

Yang Yi said, pretending to be a leader and patted Gulu on the shoulder, directly confirming the truth with an "I'm very optimistic about you" expression.

When meeting a mayor like Yang Yi, Gulu could only accept the task with a sad face and a brave face.

As for the remaining Hulu, Yang Yi asked him to continue to be responsible for various construction work in Ratchet Town. .
