The 200 acres of farmland were harvested in only half a day, and the yield was also estimated by Zhang Yang.

Among them, 150 acres of wheat have a yield of about 350 kilograms per mu, which is very good without the application of chemical fertilizers.

The yield of corn in 30 mu is very high, with a yield of about 800 kilograms per mu, but this should be a little different, because Zhang Yang estimates a single ear of corn.

For 10 acres of rice, the yield per mu is about 350 kg to 400 kg.

10 acres of millet yields about 400 kilograms per mu.

In fact, there are still 20 acres of vegetables, which cannot be calculated.

In all, he harvested about 80,000 kilograms of grain.

If this is for ordinary people, according to one kilogram per person per day, this food is enough for 500 people to eat for 160 days, and if it can be combined with some meat and vegetables, this time can even be extended to 200 days.

But Zhang Yang clearly knew how much food his soldiers had.

Any captain-level soldier, just eating meat, needs ten kilograms a day, and this is still eighty percent full.

That is to say, Zhang Yang had enough monster meat in reserve at the beginning, and the monsters here are big, and any level 1 green wolf can provide 500 units, that is, 500 kilograms of lean meat.

Another point is that Zhang Yang's soldiers are too small, and the villagers' meat supply is half a kilogram per person per day, and the rest have to rely on them to collect wild fruits and vegetables to fill their stomachs.

However, since the decisive battle with the orc tribe, there have been fewer and fewer traces of youkai within a hundred miles around the village, and often the hunting team will run for a whole day to hunt one or two youkai.

A food crisis has emerged.

This is why the villagers are so enthusiastic about cultivating fields and building water conservancy facilities.

It's not that you're so hungry that you have a psychological shadow, who would really want to work under the scorching sun and sweat?

The last time it rained, if it weren't for the healing power of the Wood Demon Tower, believe it or not, dozens of villagers would have died of a cold.

"Village elder, the next season's crops have been planted as soon as possible, it is expected that all will be planted within ten days, the villagers are mainly planting wheat and corn, they only recognize these two, if nothing else, according to the rent of forty percent, we should be able to receive 150,000 catties of grain before the arrival of winter. ”

"But we still have 600 acres of our own official land, including 100 acres of wheat, 200 acres of corn, 100 acres of rape, 100 acres of potatoes and 100 acres of rice. According to the current solar terms, it is no problem to fully mature before the arrival of winter, and we will be able to maintain the daily food supply of the village by then, but the real problem is before this batch of grain is harvested. ”

"These days, in order to ensure the harvest and the planting of the next crop, we have not gone out to hunt for six consecutive days, our reserves of jerky have been exhausted, and now they are all dependent on the newly produced grain to maintain, the daily consumption is very huge, each soldier needs 40 catties of food every day to be full, just their consumption, more than 4,000 catties per day, the villagers are better, but they also need 5 catties of food every day. ”

"That is to say, the 160,000 catties of grain we just harvested can barely last for a month, and if the orc tribe will come to harass during this period, then the situation is worrying. ”

In the castle, all the core people of the village gathered together to discuss the problem of eating, and it was enough to hunt some monsters casually when there were few people in the past, but since Zhang Yang was ruthless and recruited a large number of people, this has immediately become a headache.

"What did Wu Yuan say just now?"

At this time, Zhang Yang's eyes looked around and asked.

In this circle, there are salted fish trio, storm bear quartet, Wang Shen, Ren, Zhao Tiezhu, etc., but only Wu Yuan, Qin Yidao, Duan Kuan, Wang Shen, and Ren are relatively thoughtful and consider things more comprehensively, and the rest are either salted fish or bears who eat salted fish, or Zhao Tiezhu, an honest child.

And among the five of them, Qin Yidao has been haunted by that death since he died once, and he clamored every day to personally shoot the orc lord Aharu, so he didn't care about other affairs.

"Or, expand the hunting range, bring more people, go east, and hunt dozens of monsters in one go. ”

This is Duan Kuan's proposal.

"No, those monsters are smart, we only went to the territory of the bighorn deer to hunt once a few days ago, but the next day we went, and the rest of the bighorn deer escaped without a trace. Wang Shen shook his head and said.

"That's right, those who say they are monsters, but in fact, they are some wild monsters who have fled from the broken villages, and they are very good at judging the situation, for example, I fled all the way from hundreds of miles away to escape, basically if there is a village nearby, as long as it is not of the same race, then no matter what, we will immediately stay away from this village, this is almost the consensus of all wild monsters. ”

"So from this point of view, it is difficult to maintain the development of a village by hunting, and sooner or later it will decline, and the strategy of the lord is different, which is very insightful. ”

Wren unabashedly patted Zhang Yang's ass.

"Hey, you two guys, I still have a suggestion, what about you, what do you have a perfect idea?" Duan Kuan stopped and sneered at each other.

"My suggestion is to attack the orc tribe now! and destroy the threat of the orc tribe in one fell swoop before our food crisis breaks out, or they will come to attack us soon. ”

Wang Shen spoke again.

"However, we don't know much about the situation of the orc tribe, and the orc tribe has two ghost assassins, so we can't send the ghost priest to reconnoitre, and it is very bad for us to attack rashly. ”

Wu Yuan frowned and said, this is also what he and Zhang Yang have analyzed before, the orc tribe is not really injured.

"I agree with Wang Shen's opinion, and immediately go to attack the orc tribe. ”

At this time, Wren suddenly spoke unusually, his expression became a little solemn, and he seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Tell me your reasoning. ”

Zhang Yang asked, because he could see that the reason for Ren's proposal was completely different from Wang Shen's.

Wren suddenly knelt down and touched his head to the ground, "My lord, damn me, I forgot some terrible news, although I'm not sure if it's correct. ”

"You stand up and say, don't be nervous. Zhang Yang said gently, he can understand this, because since Wren joined the village, every day has been busy for more than a month, and everyone is like this, and it is normal to forget something.

"Thank you, sir, it's like this, it was about two years ago in the autumn, my sister and I were wandering in the wilderness, and we once met another group of Terran wild monsters, there were about forty of them, and they were a big force in the wild, of course we wanted to join them, but our leader refused. ”

He said, it's not that I'm cruel and don't take you in, but wandering in the wilderness, and the number of people gathered must not be too many, especially when the cold winter comes, because there will be ghosts and ghosts that will follow the dense vitality, and the consequences will be terrible. ”

"Then the chief gave us some weapons and left, I didn't take it to heart at the time, and then that winter, my sister and I dug a cellar in advance, stocked up on some food, and survived safely, and we didn't encounter any ghosts and ghosts, and then we joined other villages, all of which were very small, and then before it could develop into winter, it was destroyed by other tribes. ”

"So until now, I don't know if what the leader said is true or not, but I don't think this is a matter to ignore, especially since the orc tribe has survived five winters, and if those ghosts and ghosts really exist, they must know something, and I think that if we really want to use troops against the orc tribe, we must end the battle before winter comes. ”

Wren's words made Zhang Yang and everyone pay attention to it, especially Zhang Yang and Wu Yuan, because Wu Yuan was almost devoured by a demon summoned by the deer demon, which can be said to be fresh in his memory.

"Village Chief, this is mostly true, in fact, we have been wondering why there are so many imps in the village of the gnolls, why can the orc tribe have two ghost assassins, and how did they get it? ”

"If, according to Wren, every time everything withers and ice falls, the ghosts and ghosts will come and go, then these ghosts and ghosts will not only hunt down those wild monsters, but they will probably attack the villages and towns with more life on a large scale. ”

"The villages of the jackals and the villages of the deer demons have all survived one winter, so they all have controllable imps, and the villages of the orcs have survived at least five winters, so they are qualified to train ghost assassins. We need to prepare early. ”

Wu Yuan spoke solemnly, and the others also looked stern, because they had never fought against powerful ghosts.

Zhang Yang thought about it, and directly called out the ghost priest.

"Tell me what's going to happen every winter?"

"Village Chief, there will be four months of winter every year, during these four months, the vitality is cut off, the yang energy is reduced, and the yin energy is rising, and the suppressive power of the abyssal ghost clan in this heaven and earth world will be weakened to the minimum, so there will be groups of powerful ghosts and ghosts, they will gather, look for those places where the vitality is most dense, and then attack endlessly until the end of winter. ”

"Why is winter four months?"

"I don't know, village chief, but it's true, there are three months in spring, three months in summer, two months in autumn, and four months in winter. ”

"How can you kill those ghosts and ghosts, or more simply, in the winter, with your strength, how many people can be killed here?" Zhang Yang asked again.

The ghost priest hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Elder Village, forgive me, if I were in the wilderness in winter, with the help of the power of Yin Qi, I would be able to kill everyone here one-on-one, of course, you can rest assured, now I am sharing the glory and disgrace with the village, and I will never betray you and the village." ”

The form of the ghost priest floated in the air like smoke, and Zhang Yang looked at it in silence.

"Tell me all the classes of the Abyss Ghost Clan that may appear in winter, and don't hide any of them, otherwise if I find out that you are lying after winter comes, I will kill you as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, yes, village chief, I have no second thoughts. The ghost priest hurriedly shouted, looking very frightened.

"There are a total of four classes of troops that will appear in the Abyss Ghost Clan, and the Powerful Ghost is at the level of the village imp, but it will become very powerful in winter, because there is enough Yin Qi to transform it into an entity, and it will take two captain-level soldiers to fight it. ”

"Then there are the ghost assassins, in the winter, they will be stimulated by the yin qi, they will change into ghost assassins, very strong, basically a ghost assassin can kill a hero. ”

"The ghost priest will change into a powerful ghost priest, who is good at the spells of the ghost clan, which is basically the enhancement of the spells I have mastered. ”

"Finally, there is the ghost, an unconscious crystal condensed in the yin qi, this thing is very precious, and it is characterized by the pursuit of vitality, which will quickly devour the source of vitality. ”

"In short, as long as you are prepared and do not go out of the village, you can survive the winter, at most you will lose some manpower. ”

"Of course, if you are unlucky and meet the ghost lady, then there is really no way, the ghost lady is upgraded by the ghost priest, not from the abyss, it is the ghost priest who has devoured too much yin qi and ghost crystallization to advance, it usually appears in the last month of winter, anyway, even if it is an orc tribe, there is no way to survive when it meets the ghost lady. ”

"However, this situation is too rare, as far as I am concerned, even if I spend the whole winter devouring Yin Qi, it is impossible to advance to the Ghost Lady, so you can still rest assured, Village Elder. ”
