I opened a new book "Starting from a Superstar", everyone can help collect it and recommend it!

"What? There are 40,000 people in the base now, not counting the army?"

After listening to Friday's report, Xiao Feng was also taken aback, no wonder this guy always looked like a stinky fart when he reported to himself, as if he was hinting to Xiao Feng vigorously, praise me, praise me!

And after Xiao Feng heard his report on population growth data, he was indeed very excited, and slapped Friday's shoulder several times in a row, which was like turning into a bone palm, softening Friday's bones.

Why is Friday so happy, of course, because of Xiao Feng's appreciation, he can have today is all due to Xiao Feng, and the more Xiao Feng believes in him, the more stable his position in the tribe becomes.

The reason why the population of the base has skyrocketed by 20,000 is related to their last big victory over the orcs.

In the lofty mountains to the north of their city, there are countless natives, elven tribes, and refugees from the human empire.

The orcs swept across most of the continent, and of course destroyed countless countries and tribes, but it was certainly impossible to capture them all.

Bloom and Groin had told him before that there were at least 100,000 stragglers living in the barren mountains and mountains outside their city.

Because the number of people in the base was relatively small before, Xiao Feng didn't have the time and energy to send people out to collect these people, but after they defeated the orcs in Chengguan last time, the news must have spread.

So in the following autumn and throughout the winter, countless stragglers who had been living in the wilderness continued to come and surrender, which was the main reason why the population of their base skyrocketed to 40,000.

And Xiao Feng welcomes the population surge, of course, after all, the threat of half-orcs is too great, and the more people he has in his base, the more resources he can control, so that he has the capital to compete with half-orcs!

In this age of wilderness, more people is power, and this criterion must be correct!

"What about the people, how are they distributed?"

Xiao Feng was on the platform in front of the cave, looking at the human city rising not far below the platform, it was much more orderly than before, the social order was gradually taking shape, and the population was indeed much more prosperous than before, and there were even a lot of laughing and playing children on the street, which made Xiao Feng very happy.

But although the city has expanded a lot since the last time I visited, it doesn't look like it has 40,000 people.

"Well, didn't you instruct Duchess Ducadi to take some of her people to the estuary to build a city, so at the beginning of spring, Your Excellency the Duchess took a group of men and horses to develop a second city there. ”

Xiao Feng then remembered that before he left last time, he had indeed instructed Kayla to take people to the estuary to build a city and cultivate.

"Oh, how's the city going over there?"

Xiao Feng asked casually, and Friday scratched his head: "It seems that it is quite smooth, but I don't know exactly how, but every time I can hear a little news from the people of Yingzhou who send cattle back." ”

Xiao Feng then remembered that the world's communication situation was backward, so he didn't ask any more, and it seemed that he would have to wait until he took the time to see it with his own eyes.

On Friday, the development of the base was almost reported, and the first thing Xiao Feng had to do, of course, was to go to the cold storage below, and load away all the cattle and mushroom powder accumulated during this period of time, which were all important resources for the development of his fast food restaurant in the modern world.

Because of Ma Jies, they domesticated a large number of cattle, horses, sheep, chickens, ducks and wild boars, and there has been no shortage of meat in the base.

The online store opened by Katya in the modern world, but it is still open, it is said that the sales are not bad now, Xiao Feng has not cared much about these things, and these things can be sent back to where to continue to sell.

However, he didn't take too much, and still left a lot here, after all, the population has increased, and the consumption of food will also increase, so it is always better to stock up on more food.

Coming out of the cave, through the bustling city, and further south are the rice fields, the success of planting rice for three consecutive years has made the black elves taste the sweetness, plus Xiao Feng brought higher yield tuber plant seeds before.

With abundant manpower in the base this year, the black elves organized a large number of base manpower to let them open up wasteland and farm.

The endless rice paddies and various crop fields are full of farmers pulling weeds, catching insects, and fertilizing and irrigating, and there are overseers and black elves in the fields from time to time.

The main job of the supervisors is to supervise these peasants and whether they are lazy or not, and the basic system of collective farms implemented in the base is a semi-modern one, which is a big pot of rice to put it bluntly.

Everyone needed work to get food and other supplies, and no one owned private property except for the 'nobles' of the tribe, and of course these peasants were free people, not slaves and long-term laborers.

Such a system, if it is brought to the era of peace, is a dead end, or it will not be long before it will go bankrupt.

But in this era of ignorance, plus the threat of half-orcs outside, it seems very advanced and reasonable, in the past, these humans, elves, and dwarves lived in a living environment, it was difficult to eat enough, hungry, full was the norm, not to mention that they had to face disease, war, and such existential threats at any time.

And now in this tribe, as long as everyone goes to work every day, they can exchange for enough food, and even eat meat every once in a while, who doesn't want to live like this?

And if you do a good job, you can get enough work, and you can also exchange for other living materials, such as clothes, shoes, and even women, and be allocated personal housing, under the temptation of improving living conditions like this, who wants to be lazy?

And living in this tribe, the convenience of life enjoyed is something that these natives have never seen before, public baths, so that everyone can maintain personal hygiene, public toilets can improve the degree of civilization of everyone's life, not to mention, but also the principle of disease.

The advent of tap water has greatly improved the convenience of everyone's life, neat and warm wooden houses, clean and tidy streets, even human beings from civilized countries before, there are many people who have never seen such a city.

Therefore, when these tribal people come together, their enthusiasm for work is unimaginable, and when they regularly arrange people to work in the fields every day, everyone's initiative will be very high.

But there are thousands of people, all kinds of people, this truth is always true, some people because of today's life, full of gratitude to the tribe, but there are always some lazy and greedy guys, when they work, they can't work.

Friday, who deeply understands human nature, is completely intolerable for such a person, and in his opinion, the master and the tribe provide you with such good living conditions, so that you people can live more dignified, but you are lazy and do not work hard, which is absolutely not allowed.

This is the reason for the existence of those overseers, once they are found to be lazy and slippery, they will immediately be found out and sent to the mine found by the dwarf Dean to be educated.

As for those black elves who also haunt the fields, their main job is technical guidance, after all, although the labor enthusiasm of these tribesmen is high, after all, many people have not been engaged in agricultural work before, and they used to rely on wild gathering and hunting to survive.

Nowadays, like the transformation of agricultural civilization, there must always be a process, and the existence of black elf technical advisors is to provide technical guidance to these clumsy guys at any time, so that they know how to fertilize, how much water to water crops appropriately, how to catch insects and weeds, and so on.

"Great master, this year we have a tenfold increase in planting area compared to last year, to 1,000 acres, because the farming tools you have invented, and the base can provide enough livestock, which makes our job much easier. This year's weather is not bad, if nothing else, by the time of the autumn harvest, it will be another big harvest. The grain produced should be enough for our entire tribe to eat for two winters!"

After the leader of the black elves, Ma Jiesi, knew that Xiao Feng had returned, of course, he quickly came to him, and he also introduced him to the achievements they had made in farming this year.

Xiao Feng is very satisfied with this result, the last time he came, he also brought some drawings of hand-held pears and other farm tools, so that the dwarves could build some, and there is no shortage of cattle and horses in this world, with the help of these livestock, the speed of reclamation of this field is of course much higher than that of pure manpower efficiency before.

And for this effect, Xiao Feng is very satisfied, these people who used to rely on hunting and gathering for hygiene, began to try farming, and after they got used to it, the most basic agricultural civilization was formed.

Farming on the unusually fertile land of this world will definitely produce a lot of food, and continuous bumper harvests will mean that the population will skyrocket, and when that time comes, the time will be ripe for you to send troops outside the city!

After seeing the development of agriculture, Xiao Feng went to the horse farm and cattle pen not far away under the leadership of the black elves, and these black elves are really geniuses in agriculture and animal husbandry.

A large number of wild horses caught before have basically been domesticated, and even a lot of foals have been born, just looking at the horse herd, there can be tens of thousands of horses.

This made Xiao Feng very happy, these horses could not only provide military horses for his army, but also improve the production efficiency of the people of the tribe.

There are also tens of thousands of cattle in the barn, and these cattle can not only be converted into his wealth, but also provide labor for the tribe's production.
