Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Beautiful Blueprint
"The first time my subordinates came to Giant Fire Island, they found that there were many wild herbs growing here, and a small number of herbs were of high quality, so my subordinates thought that if they could produce those high-quality herbs, the value would be immeasurable......
Zhao Jie thought for a while and said: "And this is exactly the case, I believe that the lord can also realize that in the past, his subordinates attached great importance to the development of the herbal medicine industry, so that a large number of villagers turned to medicine farmers, and now there are more than 300 medicine farmers, of which more than 100 are primary medicine farmers, more than 80 intermediate medicine farmers, more than 70 senior medicine farmers, and only one special medicine farmer." ”
After a pause, he said: "But even so, the special grade medicine garden is not fully utilized, most of the area is planted with ordinary herbs, these herbs are very cheap and common, and after cultivation, there is almost no need to worry about it, and they can mature smoothly." High-quality herbs are more difficult, take Jiupin herbs as an example, every day needs the meticulous care of the medicine farmer, otherwise it will wither, but a medicine farmer's energy is always limited, probably can only take care of dozens of herbs until the herbs are ripe. ”
Ye Feng listened very carefully, and couldn't help nodding again and again, as Zhao Jie said, herbal cultivation is meticulous work, and more than three hundred medicine farmers are not enough to fully utilize the special medicine garden.
Zhao Jie's meaning is also obvious, the team of medicinal farmers must be expanded, which coincides with Ye Feng's thoughts, but what he is most concerned about is the yield of the five-grade herb Tianyuan Flower, if the yield of this herb is increased, the benefits are self-evident, and more marrow washing pills can be refined.
Regarding some rules for medicinal farmers, he is also clear, junior medicinal farmers can only take care of nine-grade herbs, while eight-grade herbs need intermediate medicinal farmers, and the ability of senior medicinal farmers is greatly improved, the limit is six-grade herbs, as for the five-grade herb Tianyuan Flower, it must be a special medicinal farmer.
On the other hand, the growth cycle of herbs is fixed, which is 20 days to mature.
Just now he was in the central area of the medicine garden, and found that the number of Tianyuan flowers planted was only more than twenty, which meant that the output of each season was only about twenty plants, and the more than 200 plants in the warehouse were obviously the result of accumulating for more than half a year.
The output of the remaining six herbs in the preparation of the Cleansing Pill is obviously not low, but the Tianyuan Flower is too small, and it is bound to greatly limit the number of refining the Cleansing Pill in the future, which is a very critical and thorny problem, if it cannot be solved, the formula of the Cleansing Pill in his hand will become very weak.
But at the same time, in this regard, he also has advantages that ordinary people can't match, such as the special attribute that can act on the entire territory, increasing the NPC's 100% understanding, which will undoubtedly increase the probability of life occupation advancement, and the title of junior lord also brings a 'life occupation NPC advancement probability increased by 10%' attribute, under the heavy superposition, an A-level qualification NPC has a very high probability of advancing to a special profession, of course, it will take a little longer, so that a sufficient number of special medicine farmers will be produced in the territory, It's not that difficult, it's just a matter of time.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng's heart also felt relieved, and he even faintly looked forward to the day when the marrow cleansing pill was produced in batches, and it was foreseeable that his territory would definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.
By the way, there are more than 20 kinds of wild high-quality herbs in Wuyue Village, and when the plague of pirates is completely eliminated, he has to take the time to take a trip to the high-grade medicine farmer to transplant all those high-quality wild herbs to the Maple Town Medicine Garden, which has a wide variety of herbs, and the highest has reached seven grades, which is also very rare.
Compared with the high-grade medicine garden on Giant Fire Island, it can probably only be reduced to mosquito legs, but it is also meat.
For a period of time, Ye Feng and Zhao Jie kept chatting, and also got a lot of insights from Zhao Jie, and soon after he left the administrative center, preparing to expand the team of medicine farmers, the pirates who surrendered and the villagers of Juhuo Village were added together, there were more than two thousand people in total, and the medicine farmers were selected from these people.
In fact, there are only nearly two thousand people who can be screened for him, and due to the particularity of the medicine farmer profession, he decided to select a group of NPCs with B-level qualifications or above to switch to the medicine farmer profession, because under the heavy bonus of B-level qualifications, 100% can become a senior medicine farmer, and there is a small probability of being promoted to a special medicine farmer.
Of course, Ye Feng didn't expect B-level qualification NPCs to become super-grade medicine farmers, after all, the probability was still too low, and A-level qualification NPCs were more realistic......
The final result was that 197 NPCs were selected, including 17 A-level qualified NPCs, all of whom entered the special medicine garden to study, and they could be transferred to junior medicine farmers in about a few days.
……
After arranging various affairs, Ye Feng keenly found that after contacting him for most of the day, Zhao Jie's loyalty had obviously improved, and it was close to eighty points, which was a good sign, indicating that the other party did not reject him, and the increase was amazing, he thought about it a little, and gave Zhao Jie the position of the village head of Juhuo Village.
He suddenly remembered the matter of that fleet, pirates often went ashore to trade with the Haoqiang clan, and even got a large amount of equipment from the Haoqiang clan, which is contraband, and the court will usually pursue it to the end once it is discovered.
This also made him think, so he tentatively asked Zhao Jie: "What's the deal between you and the Haoqiang clan?" If I need a war horse, can I get it from those powerful clans? ”
Zhao Jie didn't hesitate at all, frowned and said: "The lord may not know, those gate valve families have a lot of energy, even if they are war horses, but the number is definitely not too much, and the price is very expensive, if the lord really needs it, his subordinates will fly pigeons and send a message to ask about the price of war horses......"
Ye Feng was surprised: "With such a long distance, I'm only afraid that a super-grade carrier pigeon can deliver the news, right?" ”
Zhao Jie smiled and replied: "Hehe, those people gave me a special carrier pigeon for the convenience of contact, otherwise, my subordinates will do it, and I can get a reply in three days at most!" ”
"Good!"
Ye Feng nodded, the price is not expensive, the key is to buy it, at this stage, you can't find a wild horse, you can't domesticate it, you can only buy it from NPC forces.
This opportunity is not available to everyone......
Borrowing Zhao Jie's channels to achieve his goal is undoubtedly a shortcut, if he goes to those gate valve families by himself, it is estimated that people will ignore him.
Of course, he is not wronged, at most he will buy thousands of horses, in case of emergency, and when a special blacksmith appears in the territory, after producing fine iron bows in batches, he will set out to build a cavalry archer, which is absolutely strong in land combat, if a war breaks out with the Wu clan in Yizhou in the future, this cavalry archers will be invincible in a specific area!
Now, he has continuously exterminated the pirates of Xiyu Island and Giant Fire Island, and he already has more than 1,000 gold in his backpack, and if he loots from various territories and takes out the coins in the Grass and Wood Pavilion, he can make up about 2,000 gold.
The so-called money is scattered and returned, and it is definitely worth it to use the money to build the archers.
