Chapter 380 Take some Time to Play Farmville

Today's large manor looks quite similar when viewed from above. South of the city hall is a residential area, all made of mud or shabby thatched houses, not much to see. But for the planned community, the foundations have already been dug, and the surrounding areas are piled with building materials.

In addition, there is a whole piece of land transformed into a large farm, with patches of wheat fields spreading all the way to Starry Night City.

Starry Night City is also surrounded by acres of wheat fields. After all, the areas around and in the center of the two towns are the safest.

Field did not expect that the first thing to connect the two towns was not the brick road being built, but the wheat fields.

The only area that is not a wheat field is the orchard area of ​​Starry Night Manor. The neatly arranged fruit trees may produce fruits in a year or two.

Controlling the Black Crow to land in the city hall, Tisifa clasped her hands together and was praying.

"My majestic goddess, may your will come from heaven..."

"Ahem."

Field didn't want to disturb her, but her prayers usually lasted an hour or two.

"Who?" Tisifa quickly turned around and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the black crow. She stepped forward and asked with concern, "Sir, are you okay? I want to help too."

"We are fine. The territory needs you. You are the chosen one of the Holy Light. You are persuasive enough to make the people in the territory feel at ease."

After all, the people in the territory trust the Holy Light, and besides, the territory needs someone to defend it.

"Can..."

Field said with relief: "I even came back to play Happy Farm some time, it was nothing serious."

"Okay." Tisifa reluctantly raised her lips, "Speaking of the farm, Miss Charlotte has cultivated new seeds, and she said she would hand them over to you."

"That's great, let's go take a look now."

Arriving in the orchard area, Charlotte was busy cultivating beetroot, which can be used to make sugar and is a cash crop.

As for the three-piece set of "potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes", Field did not find it. It is estimated that it is hidden in other continents, or it may not exist in this world at all.

"Miss Charlotte, your er... pet is back." Tisifa pointed at the black crow, "He wants to talk to you about the new plants."

"The new crop is just a side trip. The main thing is to see my lovely Minister of Agriculture, Miss Charlotte."

"I'm fine. Mr. Field, please take care of yourself." Charlotte lowered her head, holding on to her sunhat, with an embarrassed look on her face. He raised his head and asked with concern, "When will you come back? I mean you. By the way, I also encountered government issues.”

"Government issues? Let's talk about it."

Field immediately became interested. Even in places where the night is getting bigger, there are also political issues in agriculture.

"The citizens of the territory have begun to fight for the land. Although the land belongs to you, even if you rent it for farming, you will still make a profit. Everyone wants to grow more land, especially within the walls and for safety around the city. district."

"For this reason, many territorial residents even quarreled and fought, and even destroyed other people's crops."

"I see."

Field nodded. Nightfall Territory's agriculture has encountered a bottleneck. It's not a technical problem, but a lack of farmland.

Those are the only safe lands, and they are all valuable, and the people living there will inevitably fight over them.

Don't think of ordinary people as little white rabbits. Although they are afraid of carnivores, they are merciless towards similar people and can think of any harmful tricks.

"Anyone who maliciously destroys crops will be severely punished once verified. The standards will be formulated by my steward Kao."

Kaa's meanness is definitely enough for a criminal to drink from him.

"Huh? I thought you took a gentler approach." Tisifa was shocked. "I remember that you used to mainly persuade, and you could only be whipped twice."

"The main conflict at the beginning was to gain a foothold. Too strict laws would collapse the already restless territorial people."

Field explained: "But now that they have time to argue and cause havoc, the intensity has naturally increased."

"How to solve the land issue?"

"Grade-level tax collection. The land within the territory is the earliest land to be reclaimed. It has high yield and is safe. It is classified as a first-class land and collects the highest amount of tax. The land in the safety zone outside the city is classified into the second class. The land in the dangerous zone is They will be classified into three categories, and the taxes will be reduced accordingly.”

Field quickly gave a plan and added: "If the people in the territory are rushing to plant, the land will be dynamically allocated according to the number of family members to ensure that they have land to plant, and it cannot be concentrated in the hands of one person."

"How did you think of it? Please teach me. I also want to be smart."

Charlotte was shocked, grabbed the black crow and played with it non-stop.

"Stop shaking, I'm going to get airsick."

Feeling that his vision was spinning, Field quickly stopped and almost vomited.

"Okay, by the way, these are enhanced seeds. They're awesome, right?" Charlotte took out a bag of seeds from her small satchel, which contained black and golden wheat seeds. "These are rye mutated seeds. Although It’s still an ordinary crop, not at the extraordinary level, but the yield is higher.”

Charlotte's artifact is a package. If you put seeds inside, it will automatically improve.

"Oh? There is such a good thing."

Field was so happy that he looked carefully at the seeds in front of him. The originally dark-brown rye now had thin golden stripes, making it look like the poor could not afford it.

“How much more production has gone up.”

Charlotte rubbed her smooth chin and counted on her fingers: "One, two... Well, it will be a little more anyway. You will know when you plant it. In addition, the new wheat seeds will be more fragrant than the original ones."

"A few grains per plant will make a lot more per acre. Let my slaves start planting improved rye now and see the results."

"However, improved rye will have higher soil requirements and needs to be planted deeper," Charlotte added.

"It just so happens that we can make iron. Let the blacksmith make a heavy plow."

Field clapped his hands with his fist: "I have already drawn the drawings. From now on, horse farming will gradually replace human farming. This is the general trend."

The geographical location of the Griffin Empire is suitable for horses to survive. Pack horses, draft horses, and plow horses are everywhere. Cheap horses only cost sixty or seventy silver coins.

Therefore, horse plowing is common here, rather than oxen, which are used for meat and leather.

After asking the little fox to arrange the heavy plowing, Field controlled the black crow to circle in the air.

"We have to find a way to clean up the several rivers. From now on, we need to raise fish and become fishermen. The walls of the large manor must be raised as soon as possible."

"In addition, it is time to continue to open up the Corruption. We need more space to develop."

After confirming that the territory was operating normally, Field returned to consciousness. Hearing the sound of cleaning everywhere in the fortress, he suddenly felt at ease, covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep.

Unlike the comfort here in Field, Thunder City in the south of Rick Province has been attacked frantically for five days.

More than 30,000 rotting corpses surrounded the city. This small city built on the Luo Lei Plains was under tremendous pressure from city defense.
