Chapter 182: The Fishman Farmer

After listening to Yang Yi's idea, Slark was silent and did not say anything, neither agreeing nor opposing Yang Yi's idea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoFor humans, Yang Yi's thoughts are normal, but for Slark, a fishman, this is the first time I've heard of it.

Where have you heard that the adult fish-people of the fish-people still need to raise small fish-people and fish-man fry? Is there any fish-man who was not born and raised on his own?

Scola didn't have a mind to turn around after hearing this, and it was good for a fishman not to be startled when he heard this.

"Lord, there are too many underage fishmen in the town, and most of the adult fishmen have things to do, so I'm afraid they can't manage it. Moreover, there are no suitable fish-people in the town to manage these underage fish-people. What's more, the food supply is not satisfied, the population of the town is increasing rapidly, and the small fish-people are growing rapidly, and now the food harvested in the town every month can only be eaten by the fish-people in the town. Scola was silent for a moment before expressing her concerns.

There are currently more than 3,000 adult fish-people in Ratchet Town, and there are almost twice as many juvenile fish-people as there are adult fish-people.

The current situation in Ratchet Town is originally a low proportion of adult fishmen, and among the more than 3,000 adult fishmen, the battle fishmen and various fishmen auxiliary professions are deducted, and there are not many fishmen left. The main task of these remaining fish-men is to go out to forage for food to fill the food gap in Ratchet Village, so the manpower is even more strained, let alone selecting the right adult fish-man talent.

So Slark was right to be worried, there was a shortage of adult fishmen in Ratchet Town who were free and capable of doing the job. If they are all like the female fish-man with a broken arm that Yang Yi met in the sea today, it is not only difficult to manage by an adult fish-man with a dozen juvenile fish-men, but also difficult to ensure that every adult fish-man will be conscientious.

There is also the problem of food supply, there are more and more fish people in the town, and the amount of food in the small fish people has also grown rapidly, and it is not easy for the town to fill the belly of so many fish people. Nowadays, the fish and fry living in the bay outside the town mainly rely on their own feeding, and if the food supply is centralized and uniformly supplied, it will be a big challenge to supply food.

Food is always the biggest problem for the Fish-People, and it is also the main reason why the population of Ratchet Town cannot increase rapidly.

"So, the master has an idea, let's try it in the town first. You can find an area in Ratchet Village where all the little fishmen are kept in it, so that it is easy to manage. Yang Yi said.

"Lock up all the little fishmen and manage them? The same way as managing slaves? Slark was puzzled.

"It's not like the slaves, it's just that the little fish people are arranged together, and they are required to eat and sleep together, and there are no other restrictions."

"Just eat and sleep together? That's it? ā€

"Yes, that's it, listen to the master."

Yang Yi swore that he was partially copying the management methods in the real world. In the future, this will be called a fish-man nursery? Or is it called the Fish-Man Orphanage?

Yang Yi's idea is to use this method to let the little fishman learn to be punctual and disciplined and cultivate a collective spirit.

Punctuality and obedience are not easy for the fishman, so Yang Yi only asked for the little fishman to be able to eat and sleep uniformly at first. If the plan goes well, you can continue to arrange for the little fishman to study and train in a unified manner in the future.

Since Yang Yi has already decided, Slark will do it.

After hearing Yang Yi's thoughts, Slark went to find a fishman who could do the job, and rearranged the fishman hut in Ratchet Village.

If you want to rebuild a fish-man hut that can accommodate so many small fish-people, it can't be done in a short time. Fortunately, most of the fish-man huts in Ratchet Village belong to Ratchet Village, except for a small number that are awarded to elite fishmen. Therefore, there is no need to rebuild a fish-man hut, just set aside a large area and let the original fish-man move to another location.

As for the fish and human fry that live in the sea, because they all live in the sea and their wisdom is not yet opened, it is even more difficult to manage, so they can only wait for later.

After the matter was decided, Yang Yi asked Slark to deal with it.

Now Yang Yi, as the mayor of a town, cannot and does not need to do everything himself, and he leaves many things to the people below to complete, of course, a very important reason is that Yang Yi is troublesome.

"I heard people say that 'rule by inaction' is the highest level of management. So being a 'hands-off shopkeeper' is also the ultimate goal of the master, haha. Yang Yi made a good excuse for a few.

It's a pity that it is not easy for Yang Yi to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and soon something new will come to the door.

Something went wrong with the red-spotted mushrooms grown in the village of Ratchet.

The mushroom cultivation site in Ratchet Village was arranged by Yang Yi under the cliff wall of the Thorn Ridge Plateau in the northwest, which was originally a large gravel pit overgrown with wild grass and shrubs.

Later, in order to breed mushrooms, Yang Yi asked the wild boar people to plant thorn vines in the gravel pit, and the thorn vines were extremely vigorous, and a few months later it was already a small-scale thorn vine forest.

Yang Yi took the little fishmen with leadership skills, and they came to the thorn vine forest in the northwest together, and a few fishmen brought a few mushrooms to show him.

The mushrooms in the hands of the fish-man laborers are only the size of thumbs, and some of the umbrella caps of the mushrooms have not yet been opened, and if you don't pay attention, you will think they are a few grass roots.

If this is the case with all the mushrooms planted this time, then the harvest will be cut in at least half.

"These are the red-spotted mushrooms from this harvest? The red spot mushroom was not planted well last time, why did it become like this this time? Yang Yi asked.

The mushrooms in Ratchet Village have actually been harvested once, and Yang Yi has also used the Red Spot Mushroom and the Poison Cap Mushroom to shade a Kokar Centaur before. It's just that at that time, it was the first time that Ratchet Village tried to grow mushrooms, and at that time, the thorn vine forest was not big enough, and there were not many mushrooms planted in the experiment, so there were very few mushrooms produced.

This time, the village of Ratchet expanded to grow mushrooms, but for some reason something went wrong.

"Mayor Mare, I don't know." The fish-man laborer shook his head as he held the mushroom.

"Before the Boar Man Steelmane Diviner left, he didn't teach him how to deal with this situation?" Yang Yi asked.

In order to grow mushrooms, Yang Yi made a deal with the boar man Tuging Tooth, and exchanged some food and alchemy potions for the wild boar man to teach the fish man to grow mushrooms.

Previously, the Boar Man Tuya sent a few steel-maned boar people who knew how to plant to teach the fish-people how to grow mushrooms, and one of the steel-maned earth divination masters was the main person in charge of teaching the fishmen the mushrooms in the fish-men, which can be regarded as the technical person in charge of teaching the fish-people to breed mushrooms.

Later, the mushrooms in Ratchet Village were harvested, and the boar people left.

"Wild boar people don't know how to deal with it." Hearing Yang Yi's question, the fish-man laborers shook their heads vigorously.

"The steel-maned boar people have been growing red-spotted mushrooms, and they can't handle problems like this?" Yang Yi didn't understand.

"The wild boar people said that if they can't plant well, they will plant it in another place." A fish-man laborer replied,

"I. Damn, this is really a good way for the boar people. Yang Yi was angry, but he invited these steel-sidedness wild boar people in exchange for food and alchemy elixirs. As a result, all the technicians were invited, and when there was a problem, they only knew to move the place and try again, which is called the method of solving the problem.

Speaking of which, although the society of the steel-maned boar people is stronger than that of the fish-people, they are only a semi-civilized race like the fish-people. Therefore, the method of cultivating mushrooms by the steel-maned boar people is also very extensive, and their methods of cultivating mushrooms are all taught by word and deed, word of mouth, and rely on experience.

What the steel-maned boar people can teach the fishmen is how to collect mushroom spores, what conditions are suitable for planting, and so on. Of course, these seemingly simple things require a lot of experience accumulation, and it is also the cultivation of mushrooms, and whether there is experience or not has a huge impact on the yield.

In fact, it is not without reason that this steel-maned earth diviner said this, and for the wild boar people, instead of trying to find a way to solve the problem, it is better to change places and plant them again. After all, using their brains is not the strong point of the pig's head on the neck of the wild boar people, anyway, the thorny jungle they live in is so big, and there are more places.

But Ratchet Village is currently such a small thorn vine forest, this thorn vine forest still needs time to grow, and it is impossible to change places.

Yang Yi didn't get angry, and he then asked, "Our Ratchet Village now has thorn vines in this area, and the steel-maned boar people have no other way than to change places when they encounter this situation?" ā€

"The wild boar people also said that if it is not good to grow mushrooms, they will grow something else, and then mushrooms in a few years." The fish-man laborer replied that this was the experience of the boar man that the steel-maned earth diviner had said.

"Yes, if the red spot mushroom is not successful, then change to something else. As long as you can eat it, you can grow anything. What do you think would be appropriate to switch to something else? ā€

A few fish-man laborers, you look at me, I look at you, no fish-man seems to remember what the steel-maned earth diviner said that he could replant, until a fish-man laborer dared to speak: "Perhaps...... Red leaf potato? It seems to be called this name. ā€

Yang Yi looked at the fishman who spoke, this fishman was still holding a mushroom that had failed to grow, and Yang Yi's question just now was mainly this fishman's answer, and his expression ability was okay.

Yang Yi took a look at the attributes of this fish man.

[Name]: Fishman Laborer (E)

[Race]: Miscellaneous Fish-Man (male)

[Level]: Level 3 Fishman

[Ability]: Knowledge (Plant +6)

[Specialty]: Diligence (E)

……

Knowledge-based abilities can be learned in school, and the smarter fishmen can learn a wide range of knowledge such as natural knowledge and marine knowledge, and some less intelligent people can also learn plant knowledge, fish knowledge, algae knowledge and other small branches of knowledge.

Yang Yi nodded slightly after reading the attributes of this fish man, and being able to learn plant knowledge shows that this fish man's head can still be used. In particular, this fish-man has the specialty of [industrious (e)], the fish-man is mainly lazy, and it is very rare to have such a hard-working specialty, even if this specialty is only "e" level.

Yang Yi then made a decision, and he said to the fishman: "Then change to plant red leaf potatoes, and this matter will be handed over to you." If you need to find the Boar Man, or if you need some other help finding this little Fishman, she will try to help you. ā€

Yang Yi pointed to the little fishman with organic spirit expertise behind him, she was the little fishman empty barrel that Yang Yi designated as the head of these few small fishmen with leadership ability yesterday.

"Yes, Mayor Mare, I'll definitely try." The little fishman with an empty barrel held up his bulging head and assured.

"I, I, I'm responsible?! I don't understand...... mayor" When the fishman heard that he was in charge of changing to grow red leaf potatoes, he was stunned and the mushroom in his hand fell to the ground.

"What are you afraid of, if you don't understand, learn slowly, there will always be a first time. Plant well, and the master will personally give you a name in the future. Yang Yi assumed the posture of a leader, reached out and patted the shoulder of the fishman laborer.

"Wow la Lele (screaming in excitement), take the name, I'm in charge, I'm in charge."

Hearing that the mayor of the town might reward him with a name, the fish-man laborer shouted excitedly, and all other worries were put out of his mind, and he immediately agreed.

In this way, Yang Yi handed over the planting of red leaf potatoes to this fish-man laborer.

Having dealt with wild boar people for so long, Yang Yi still knows something about red leaf potatoes.

In addition to hunting and looting, they also keep wild boars and coyotes in captivity to provide meat, but these are not the main sources of food.

In addition to hunting and looting to obtain food, wild boar people often eat mushrooms and other fungi that grow in the thorny jungle, in addition to the red leaf potatoes grown by the wild boar people themselves are also their main ration. Sometimes the harvest is not good or there is not enough food, and the wild boar people will even devour ragweed on the side of the road. However, the strong stomach of wild boar people still cannot effectively digest ragweed, so swallowing ragweed can only temporarily relieve hunger. After eating ragweed, many wild boar people have bloated abdomen like a bulge, unable to defecate, and finally suffocate to death.

The difference between the two is that the cultivation requirements of the red spot mushroom are relatively simple, but it depends on the weather for food, and sometimes a large number of wild red spot mushrooms will even grow naturally in the thorny jungle when the climate is suitable, and sometimes there is no harvest.

The cultivation of red leaf potatoes is different from that of red spot mushrooms, which requires more effort to be taken care of by someone who has a special crypt and knows how to grow it.

Therefore, in the thorny jungle of the wild boar people, red spotted mushrooms are planted everywhere, and red leaf potatoes are specially dug in the burrows for cultivation.

Red leaf potatoes are planted in burrows, and red spotted mushrooms are planted on the ground, and there is no contradiction between the two.

Yang Yi decided to plant both crops in the thorn vines, anyway, the good and bad seeds can make the fishmen in the town gain some experience, and if you can't find out the reason for the poor growth of the red spotted mushroom.

"I don't believe it, it's not enough to grow something on land, and it's so difficult to train a fishman farmer." Yang Yi is considered to be strong.

At present, there is only one land-based plant that the fish-people of Ratchet Village have really successfully cultivated, and that is ragweed planted in the fields. This ragweed is regarded by other farmers as a pest that invades the fields, and it is too late to dispose of it, so it is obviously not a regular crop. The seaweed and mussel shells cultivated in the bay do not need to be taken care of by fish-man farmers, and basically rely on natural growth.

So until now, the number of fish-man farmers in Ratchet Village is still zero, which makes Yang Yi angry. (To be continued.) )
