Chapter 10: Upgrades, Farming Mods

The news that Li Yan jumped to the ninth level and was directly promoted to Yilu's lieutenant spread throughout the Fengzhou military camp in just half a day.

And after Li Yan was officially promoted, Hou Junji also divided a battalion of troops separately and handed it over to Li Yan to take charge of.

In other words, Li Yan has now become a middle-level officer in charge of a battalion of 2,000 soldiers.

Naturally, such a powerful news would not only spread among the Fengzhou army, but less than two days later, the people of the entire Fengzhou City also knew the news that Li Yan had jumped to the ninth level.

"Do you still remember the little General Li Yan who made meritorious service a few days ago? I heard that His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered him to be promoted to the ninth level in a row! ”

"Isn't anyone else capable? One person can deal with ten Turkic barbarians, and if you can do the same, Your Majesty will not treat you badly. ”

"That's it, people are promoted by their ability, look at the son of the old Shen family, I heard that he made a mistake and was punished to burn the fire, there is a gap between this person and people after all."

All kinds of discussions filled all corners of Fengzhou City, whether it was a teahouse or a wine shop, there were people everywhere discussing Li Yan's legendary promotion path.

It's just that Li Yan doesn't care about public opinion, Li Yan has been very busy in the past two days, and the training during the day has expanded from fifty to two thousand, and Li Yan can't manage it for a while.

Hou Junji made it clear that he wanted Li Yan to build a battalion of elites, and he personally asked Li Yan that the training of the soldiers in this battalion must be carried out according to the previous model.

At night, Li Yan couldn't be idle, he still had to consciously enter "my world" to gain experience, mining or something.

After the efforts of the past few days, Li Yan's experience bar is finally about to be full.

Lv1:988/1000

With only twelve points of experience, Li Yan will usher in his first upgrade!

While waiting for the last few monsters to spawn from the monster farm, Li Yan was very apprehensive, and he hoped that this upgrade would bring something new.

After all, from the current point of view, the golden finger of "Minecraft" only brought him a strong physique and limited resources.

Bang, bang, bang......

Three times in a row, two zombies and a skeleton were washed down by the water from the monster farming platform above and fell onto the falling platform!

The designed height of twenty-six blocks directly took away the HP of these three monsters!

One of the zombies also burst a piece of iron ingot very face-saving!

Of course, Li Yan didn't care about the iron ingot or anything now, and Li Yan's attention was now completely focused on the level before the experience bar.

"Congratulations on the upgrade"

“Lv2:3/2000”

"Unlocking Lv2 Rewards"

"Congratulations on receiving the Farming Mod and the Farming Mod Starter Pack"

"Do you want to load farming mods?"

A series of prompts appeared in front of Li Yan in the form of pop-up windows.

When Li Yan saw the upgrade reward clearly, he couldn't help but feel ecstasy in his heart!

Farming mod! This is definitely one of the most needed mods for Li Yan in the Tang Dynasty!

Once the Minecraft is loaded with the Farming mod, Li Yan will have access to a variety of high-yielding crops, or crops with special attributes such as cold and drought resistance.

"Load! Load Now! ”

Li Yan decisively chose to load without any hesitation.

"Loading, 1%...... 54%…… 100%”

In less than a second, the mod was loaded, and at the same time, a gift box-like block appeared in Li Yan's backpack, and if you looked closely, this was the "Agriculture Mod Initial Gift Pack"

"Open the Starter Pack."

Li Yan moved quickly, clicked on the gift package, and the next second Li Yan was shocked.

"Open completed, congratulations on getting a crop growth acceleration opportunity, wheat seeds, winter wheat seeds, rice seeds, high-yield rice seeds, corn seeds, potato seeds, cotton seeds, ......"

The hint is very long, more than ten lines, and it describes all kinds of seeds, and all the crop seeds that Li Yan obtained are a group of sixty-four!

"Winter wheat, potatoes, cotton!"

Li Yan was extremely sensitive to select three crops, all of which were extremely useful crops for today's Datang or Fengzhou City.

Among them, winter wheat can be sown and grown in winter, and harvested in March, which can effectively alleviate the problem of tight supply of military grain and grass in Fengzhou in the coming winter.

Li Yan can sow a batch of winter wheat in "My World" now, obtain a large amount of seeds, and then give the seeds to the people around Fengzhou to sow seeds.

After all, today's farmers in the Toyoshu area generally plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and harvest once a year, and winter is a window period for farming, without any crops growing.

Li Yan only needs to give the seeds to the farmers, and he doesn't need to persuade them too much, and the farmers will naturally choose to sow winter wheat to expand their own harvests.

The second is potatoes, although this thing can't grow in winter, but it is better than the yield per mu, and it can be eaten as a staple food, once this thing is born, it will definitely be planted as a strategic resource by Datang.

Finally, cotton is Li Yan's most troublesome crop.

Although cotton can help keep out the cold and is not easy to grow, the biggest problem is that no one wants to plant it, and it doesn't grow at the same time as it is now.

Li Yan has only one way to use cotton this winter!

That is to be planted in batches in Minecraft, and one of Minecraft's specialties, bone meal, is used to ripen it.

"Cotton has to be there! Otherwise, this winter will be too difficult! ”

Li Yan made up his mind, no matter what, he had to get enough cotton, at least he wanted to let the soldiers of the first battalion under his command wear cotton clothes.

Otherwise, when winter comes, Li Yan will not say that he will train normally, but he is afraid that his soldiers will not catch a cold and cause a cold infection, and Li Yan will burn high incense.

After that, Li Yan went to his "matchbox" wooden house, took out his bone reserve from Xiaobai (skeleton monster), decomposed all of them into bone meal, and then went to find a vacant land near the village to start the cotton planting business!

At the end of the night, Li Yan's cotton harvest was only one crop, and a total of two groups of cotton seeds, one group of cotton and a cotton field were obtained.

According to Li Yan's estimate, about four groups can cover one acre of land, and his cotton yield per mu is about 400 catties, and an average of four groups of seeds can meet the cotton clothing production of more than 200 people.

In other words, if Li Yan just wanted to satisfy the soldiers under his command to use cotton clothes, he still needed about forty sets of seeds.

However, the biggest problem now is not the acquisition of seeds.

Li Yan's biggest problem now is that he has no bone meal!

The absence of bone meal means that the seeds cannot be ripened, and the failure to mature means that it is difficult for Li Yan to mature enough cotton in a short period of time.

"That's right, crop growth is accelerating!"

Just when Li Yan had a headache, he suddenly thought of another item in the initial gift pack of the agricultural mod, and he had another chance to accelerate the growth of crops!
