Chapter 176: Farmland
"This ...... How did a road appear here! ā
The people who were killing monsters outside Nanlian City couldn't help but be stunned when they discovered this change. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info A road appeared in front of them out of thin air, and it was indeed quite shocking.
"It's weird, and I don't know where this road leads." A man of greater courage cautiously stretched out his foot and stepped on the road, looking a little funny.
"Yuzhang City seems to be in this direction, could it be that it leads there?" A man speculated.
"If only that were the case......"
While they were talking, Jiang Buqi continued to build the road. It only takes one hundred and six miles to connect Nanlian City and Yuzhang City, that is to say, he can also build ninety-four miles of roads for free!
Looking at the human settlements dotted on the map, he thought about it and planned to extend the roads of Nanlian City to several places with the highest concentration of human beings.
After a while, there was a road extending in each of the two directions southwest of Nanlian City. Coupled with the road connecting Yuzhang City in the northeast, it is the three main roads.
The longest of these three main roads is undoubtedly the Northeast Avenue, which is more than 100 miles, while the West Avenue and the South Avenue are both only more than 20 miles.
In addition to these three main roads, there are a number of branch roads that connect most of the human settlements.
After doing all this, the evolution spar sounded, and the reward for the city quest had been claimed.
"The road has finally been repaired, and the next step is to start rectifying Nanlian City."
Although he has become the city guard of Nanlian City, it is only the beginning now, and there are many things that he needs to deal with next, the two most important things are to build a walled wall and solve the problem of food and clothing for those ordinary residents.
It is very easy to understand the construction of the wall, and with the wall, the life safety of the residents of Nanlian City can be greatly improved, as for the latter thing. It is also imminent.
Although it is now possible to exchange for daily necessities and food in the altar, the problem is that only the Evolvers have this power, and the vast majority of the inhabitants are not bound to the Evolution Crystal!
How do these ordinary residents survive now? Either by hunting mutant beasts, or by going to the forest to collect wild fruits and vegetables, in short. Pretty much the same as primitives.
In the past, the mutant beasts around Nanlian City were very dense, enough for them to hunt, but after two major wars, even if there were mutant beasts from other places flowing over, the number was still very thin.
This pattern of survival will certainly not be sustained forever, even if many people are starving to death every day. To solve this problem, the restoration of cultivation is a necessary means!
Thinking of this, Jiang Buqi started the construction system again, planning to reclaim a piece of farmland around Nanlian City. Although his more than 80,000 life points were not enough to build the city wall. But it is enough to reclaim some farmland.
"Cultivating farmland: Cultivating one acre of farmland requires 100 life points or a first-order energy crystal, and the quality of farmland is related to the chosen place."
This is an introduction to the reclamation of farmland in the construction system. It looks cheap, but if all the life points of Jiang Bu are spent, more than 800 acres can only be cultivated. According to the yield of 600 kilograms of rice per mu and the consumption of 150 kilograms per person a year, these fields are only enough to feed more than 3,000 people, which is still far from the figure of 70,000.
Fortunately, in addition to life points, you can also use energy crystals to pay. He has more than 2,000 first-order energy crystals on his body, and he can reclaim more than 2,000 acres of land!
It didn't take long. He asked someone to find Qiu Lishan and asked him to send someone to post a notice.
The notice reads: The government will reclaim a large amount of farmland around Nanlian City, and provide farming tools, rice, and planting knowledge, and those who are willing to cultivate can submit applications. There are two ways to farm, one is rental, and the government provides farmland, seeds, farming tools, and other necessary items. In addition to paying 10% of the total harvest as land tax, 40% of the total harvest is also required to be paid as rent every year;
The second is a buyout, the current price is 100 life points per mu or a piece of energy crystal, and the bells, farm tools and other necessary items are provided free of charge for the first three years, and only 10% of the total harvest needs to be paid as land tax every year......"
There are many other terms on this notice. For example, the responsibilities of the government, the responsibilities of the cultivators, and so on, are very clear.
"Paralysis, this is tyranny, renting their land actually has to hand over half of the total harvest every year, and the fool will go!" Seeing this notice, many people scolded.
"Come on, people are already very merciful, after all, isn't it normal to provide farmland, seeds, and farm tools, and share half of the benefits? I just don't know what the yield is, but if there is a stable harvest every year, it is not a bad way to survive. ā
"Damn, I'd rather kill mutant beasts than be a peasant!"
"What's wrong with the peasants, don't you look down on the peasants? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you! ā
"I'm dying of hunger, and I don't care if I'm a farmer or not, as long as I can eat enough and become a beggar."
āā¦ā¦ā
This notice can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and it caused great repercussions in Nanlian City, with some cursing and some understanding, but on the morning of the second day, hundreds of people submitted applications.
Jiang Buqi didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately used a thousand first-order energy crystals to open up a thousand acres of farmland in the west of Nanlian City.
In the afternoon, Jiang Buqi personally met them and took them to the farmland to watch them. Seeing these farmlands, many people showed surprised expressions, because they clearly remembered that this was still a forest not long ago.
"The land is good, but I don't know if the crops planted will be damaged by mutant beasts...... a simple middle-aged man expressed his concern.
"Don't worry." Jiang Buqi said with a smile, "As time goes by, the mutant beasts around Nanlian City will become fewer and fewer, or even extinct. If you are still not at ease, I can assure you that every day in the future, I will send at least 2,000 city guards to hunt mutant beasts around here to ensure the safety of the crops. ā
Jiang Buqi knew very well that in the near future, the living range of those mutant beasts would gradually shrink and move away from the human gathering place, after all, the two could not coexist, either you killed me or I killed you. And in Nanlian City, humans have clearly taken the upper hand.
Not only that, Jiang Buqi also planned to order people to cut down the forest or directly set fire to the forest, and he wanted to empty all the forests around Nanlian City. Without the soil to survive, those mutant beasts have to migrate even if they don't migrate.
The matter of guiding the residents to grow grain went very smoothly, and more than 100 people signed a lease contract on the spot, and more than half of the 1,000 acres of land were also leased.
In addition, there are many people who buy land. And among these people who bought land, the city guards under the command of Shu Jiang Buqi were the most!
As "NPCs", they are born with evolution crystals, and each of them has some life points and energy crystals on them to a greater or lesser extent. Coupled with the importance that the ancients attached to the land, they were all very positive. (To be continued.) )
