The edge of the farmland to the east of the town of Ratchet.

Yang Yi asked Jia Gu the question he was most concerned about: "Jia Gu, look, all the farmland here is used to grow oats, how many fish people can be fed?" ”

After a little estimate, Jagu replied: "The growth period of oats is about 80 to 100 days, and the harvest per acre of ordinary farmland is usually about 30 to 50 kilograms per acre. ”

"In order to balance the nutrients in the field and prevent miscellaneous diseases, crop rotation is required to achieve the normal yield of oats. Therefore, it is best to plant only two crops a year, and the rest of the time to plant pre-crop crops such as flax and pasture. ”

"Based on the average annual consumption of 300 kilograms of food for an adult fishman, it takes about 4 acres of land to feed an adult fishman. I took a cursory look and saw that Ratchet Town has about five hundred acres of farmland, so it can probably feed more than one hundred and twenty adult fishmen. ”

"What!? to feed more than 120 fishmen? Yang Yi was surprised.

Yang Yi had never been in the field at all, and he had no understanding of the harvest of the farmland. He thought that the farmland to the east of Ratchet Town was already a large area, but he didn't expect that it could only feed such a small number of fishmen.

"Jiagu, these farmlands reclaimed by our Ratchet Town are not first-class farmland, they are basically third- or fourth-level farmland." Yang Yi explained.

So far, these 500 acres of farmland are still within the scope of the town recognized by Ratchet Town, and these farmlands also have the architectural effects attached to the systematic lottery buildings, so Yang Yi has upgraded them all to the third or fourth level.

If you reclaim farmland further, you will be almost out of town.

If you are out of range, even if you use the architectural drawings of the system lottery to build farmland, you will only have the same building function as the purchased drawings, and there will be no special effects of the system lottery drawings.

"Oh, if you have a farmer of the corresponding level, the yield will double for every three levels of farming level. Your farmland can feed about two hundred and fifty adult fishmen. Jagu said.

Jagu was unaware that the farmland in Ratchet Town had a special architectural effect, and that the yield was estimated on a typical farmland.

"By the way, I forgot to mention that if you cultivate intensively, a farmer can only take care of ten acres of land." Jagu added.

In other words, these 500 acres of farmland still need 50 farmers to cultivate.

"I didn't expect that such a large area of farmland can't support many fishmen." Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh after understanding the situation.

"Five hundred acres of farmland is not a big deal. At least 50,000 or 100,000 mu must be cultivated, so that it can be regarded as a bit of scale. Jia Gushen said on the ground.

Farmland reclamation is usually in units of 1,000 mu or 10,000 mu, which is why farmland should be reclaimed outside the city walls of towns.

50,000 acres of land is equivalent to the area of a square with a side length of less than 6 kilometers, and it takes about two hours for a beach-patrolling fishman who can run a lap, so what Jia Gu said is not an exaggeration.

"Do you still grow oats?" Jia Gu asked Yang Yi.

"Plant, of course." Yang Yi said resolutely: "Isn't it just to reclaim farmland, according to what you said, Ratchet Town will reclaim 50,000 mu or 100,000 mu, and then plant all of them with oats." ”

If it had been two months ago, Yang Yi would not have dared to say this, because there were not so many construction workers in Ratchet Town.

Now it's different.

The construction of the Level 3 earthen walls in Deadwater Village took more than a month, and the Fishmen of Ratchet Town benefited greatly from working with the high-ranking stonemasons of the Brotherhood of Defia.

The stonemasons of the Brotherhood of Defia are all builders above the expert level, and there are even some masters and grandmasters, which is a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity for the construction fishmen.

So in the past month or so, almost all the levels of fish-man builders have been promoted, and some of the good qualifications have even been promoted by two levels.

This opportunity to learn from high-level construction workers is most beneficial for construction apprentices who have accumulated a lot of experience but are stuck in the door, and dozens of fish-man construction apprentices have been successfully promoted to junior construction workers in a little more than a month.

Among all the auxiliary professions, the construction worker is the largest number in Ratchet Town, and with this promotion, there are currently more than 100 fish-man builders in Ratchet Town.

In the future, there will be more and more builders in Ratchet Town, so Yang Yi is still a little confident now.

If it takes a year or two to work hard, it is still possible for Ratchet Town to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of farmland.

"I'm afraid that when the farmland is cleared, there won't be enough fish-man farmers to farm." Yang Yi looked at Jia Gu.

"Don't worry about this, you've got it for me." Jagu patted his chest and packed his ticket, "As long as Ratchet Town is in charge of serving the Storm Spirits." ”

"Don't worry, if you can solve the farming matter for us in Ratchet Town, the storm spirits brewed in the future will be supplied to you first, and the other drinks will be enough for you." Yang Yi also gave Jia Gu a promise.

Farming has always been on his mind, and if it can be solved, it will be extremely helpful for the development of Ratchet Town.

With Yang Yi's promise, Jia Gu is full of energy, and nothing can mobilize his enthusiasm more than fine wine.

So Jia Gu immediately wanted Yang Yi to mention: "Mayor Poseidon, although this oat cultivation is suitable for planting under a variety of soil conditions, the requirements for soil are not strict. However, if you want to achieve high yields of oats, it is better to plant them in nutrient-rich farmland with loose soil. ”

"Oh, you're an expert at this, and if you ask for anything, Ratchet will fully cooperate with you." Yang Yi said.

"In order for oats to be highly productive, they need not only good seeds, but also deep ploughing and fertilization. Farming tools and cultivated livestock are needed for deep ploughing of the soil, and fertilizer can be composted with harvested ragweed mixed with manure. ”

"I'll have people buy oat seeds and farming tools, and the livestock that ploughs the land refers to the ploughing cattle?" Yang Yi asked.

"Oxen, horses, donkeys, etc., as long as the livestock is docile and has the strength and stamina at the same time." Jagu said.

"Meek, strong, and stamina." Yang Yi thought for a moment, "There are a lot of Kodo beasts in Ratchet Town. Because no fish-man knows how to train Kodomon mounts and fight Kodomon, it is useless for those Kodomons to train as mounts or on the battlefield. Recently, I'm planning to train them to be cargo carriers, so why don't you pull them out and help plow the fields. ”

Jagu thought about it and thought it would be okay, so he nodded:

"What about the fertilizer?" Jagu added: "Oats have a short growth period, and when the soil is deep in the soil, the application of base fertilizer is enough for the whole growth period of oats, so the amount of fertilizer used in the early stage is larger. ”

"Understood, I'll take care of this."

Yang Yi is actually preparing to solve the problem of open defecation of the fishmen in Ratchet Town.

Now there are more than 10,000 large and small fishmen in Ratchet Town, although Yang Yi has always asked the fishmen to be discharged into the sea when they defecate, but there are always fishmen who are disobedient and solve them anywhere in Ratchet Town.

Therefore, although the sanitary environment of Ratchet Town is much better than that of ordinary fish-man villages, there is still a big gap compared to human villages and towns.

It's time to tackle this problem of open defecation.

Yang Yi thought about it, to solve the problem of open defecation, of course, the first thing is to rely on publicity and education, as long as the quality of the fish people is high, this problem can be solved naturally.

However, with the head of the fish man, it is estimated that the effect will not be so fast by relying on propaganda and education.

Yang Yi thought that this was mainly an inconvenient problem, after all, with the expansion of the area of Ratchet Town, it was necessary to go all the way to the beach every time to solve the problem, which was really a very incomprehensible thing for the fishmen who were used to being "free".

Therefore, building more toilets is the solution.

Now the farmland needs manure to make fertilizer for growing oats, which coincides with Yang Yi's idea of building a toilet.

Yang Yi arranged it immediately.

First of all, Yang Yi brought the two major fish-man builders in Ratchet Town, Gollum and Woolu, together.

These two fish-man builders have been following Van Cleeff some time ago, and Van Cleef intends to teach them construction knowledge, so under Van Clive's words and deeds, both fish-men have been upgraded to level 5 builders and become senior builders.

At present, the buildings that Yang Yi drew from the lottery system are only level 4, so these two fish-man builders can be regarded as running in front of the building level of Ratchet Town.

This made Yang Yi very happy, because it meant that when Ratchet Town was promoted to another level, he was not afraid of drawing buildings that could not be built from the system lottery.

"Gollum, Master of Skill has an important mission for you now. A large amount of farmland is needed in the east of Ratchet Town, and I want you to build 10,000 acres of farmland within half a year. Yang Yi said to Gollum.

Gollum is the oldest fish-man builder in Ratchet Town, and his qualification is D-level, and Yang Yi intends to cultivate him this time.

There is no threshold for D-level qualifications to become high-level professionals, while E-level qualifications can usually only be achieved as intermediate-level professionals.

It is said that it is good for Gollum to become a senior construction worker, but Yang Yi saw that Woolu, who was E-level qualified, also successfully became a senior construction worker under the guidance of Van Cleef. In addition, Gollum also has the specialty of "Building Buildings (D)", so Yang Yi thinks that Gollum still has potential to be tapped, and it is not good that he can train an expert fishman builder for Ratchet Town.

Gollum was completely stunned when he heard the task assigned to him by Yang Yi, he had always obeyed the arrangement, and built the buildings one by one, who would have thought that there would be a task that lasted for half a year, and a task would build 10,000 acres of farmland.

"Mayor Mare, Gollum doesn't understand." Gollum was at a loss.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you can ask, you can learn, you can figure it out by yourself."

Yang Yi said and patted Gollum's shoulder with the appearance of a leader, and directly set the truth with a "I am very optimistic about your expression".

When he met a mayor like Yang Yi, Gollum could only take over the task with a sad face.

As for the rest of the Woolu, Yang Yi asked him to continue to be in charge of various construction work in Ratchet Town.
