Chapter Seventy-Four: The Man Who Lives in the Building
Not long after the Rhodok sergeants left, boxes of gold coins and food were carried into the center of town by the peasant uncle.
After the last box of gold coins was carried into the center of the town, Qi Lin opened the imperial system and looked at the list of resources, and found that the amount of gold had increased by more than twenty-three thousand in one go, counting the gold coins he had exchanged for Huàn with RMB before, the total amount of gold had directly reached twenty-four thousand.
And the amount of grain has also increased by more than 5,000, and the number has reached nearly 6,000 if you count the ones that used to exchange RMB for huàn.
Looking at it, it seems that in the future, Qi Lin will no longer have to worry about gold and food.
"By the way, how is the farm (mill) built?" Qi Lin suddenly stopped the peasant uncle who was about to leave and asked.
As a result, the peasant uncle looked at him suspiciously, and then hurriedly saluted respectfully, and replied: "General, you did not order the construction of the farm, so ......"
"Huh?" Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly opened the map of the Imperial Era, carefully searched the map for a long time, and found that there was indeed no mark of the farm.
"Well, got it, let's build a farm here." Qi Lin said, pointing to an open space on the map.
"But General, we don't have enough lumber to build a farm." Uncle Farmer replied respectfully.
“……”
After a sullen exchange of hundreds of pieces of timber, the farmer was finally satisfied. He walked away with a basket of wood.
"You go to 10 peasant women and ask them to help build the farm, and when the farm is finished, go and plant the land for me." Qi Lin said to the guards who were following him.
When he went out for a walk, Qi Lin found 4 Rhodok sergeants and 4 Rhodok marksmen to act as his temporary guards to protect his safety.
I thought that when the soldiers of the Imperial Age were created, they would be used to replace these cavalry soldiers.
But it is clear that this plan needs to be postponed for a long time.
"Yes, General!" A Rhodok marksman led the way away, and after a few minutes, returned to Qi Lin again and reported to him, "General, your order has been given. ”
"Hmm." Qi Lin nodded, then thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing else to do, so he walked into the center of the town, came to the room prepared for himself, and watched the upgrade progress of the base in a daze.
One hour, a militiaman brought a jug of water to Qi Lin, and at the same time came the news that the farm had been built and the farmland was being sown.
Qi Lin took the pot of water and tasted it, it was very sweet and quenched his thirst.
"Does this water come from the farm?" Qi Lin asked.
"Yes, General, after the construction of the farm, a well was opened next to it, and the water production is very objective, and this water is taken from there." The militiaman replied respectfully.
Qi Lin nodded happily.
He knew that the drought in this place could evaporate instantly, and this town originally had a few deep wells, but they had long since dried up and been abandoned, so the original townspeople of this town could only rely on those drinks to quench their thirst except for the foreign caravan to bring water.
And I just chose a random place before, and I couldn't be so lucky that there was a water source right under it.
So the only explanation is that every farm has its own well that produces water.
If that's the case, then you don't have to drink all that unpleasant ale anymore.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the second good news came, the peasant uncles who had gone out to build the watchtower and the fence returned to the town one after another, and Qi Lin also had a fixed view of the periphery of Calradia, and at the same time, ten fields of farmland were planted.
And when the time slowly passed two hours, the clock tower on the top floor of the town center suddenly heard a crisp sound of "dong", and Qi Lin's spirits were lifted, because Calradia's technology level had finally crossed from the black iron period to the feudal period.
After calling some militiamen, Qi Lingu showed a paper map and said to a militiaman: "Order, the barracks will upgrade the swordsman technology, and then produce 100 more spearmen for me." By the way, the speed of a barracks is a bit slow, find a few peasants and let them build another barracks first. ”
"Yes, General." One of the militiamen was ordered to leave.
Later, Qi Lin again embodied a map, called a second militiaman, pointed to several places on the map, and said:
"You go and gather 10 peasants, bring some militia, here, here...... There are also a few places here, where a few watchtowers (with attackers) are built, and a wall is built for me along this road, and a gate is built in the middle. ”
"Understood, General!" The second militiaman departed with the map.
Qi Lin looked at his resources, and the stone and wood didn't seem to be enough, so he ruthlessly exchanged 5,000 yuan of resources each, and in this way, the number of stone and wood increased to five or six thousand.
"The one-to-one ratio is really a pitfall......," Qi Lin sighed, and then called a militiaman again, "Gather 20 peasants, take them here and here, and build two shooting ranges and stables respectively." Once the shooting range was built, 100 archers and 100 scout cavalry were trained in the shooting range and stables, and then the peasants were asked to build a blacksmith shop and some houses in the village. ”
"Yes, General." The third militiaman took the map from Qi Lin's hand and turned to leave.
Qi Lin thought about it, and felt that he didn't seem to have forgotten something, so he waved back the remaining militia and let them patrol outside the town.
And he himself went straight to the office hall in the center of town.
Dedicated personnel from the town centre are staying here with a few seats, and they are 'technicians' who specialise in upgrading the town centre.
In fact, in each building, there are more or less exclusive personnel, such as in the sentry tower, there are special sentries to observe the surrounding movements, and there are also crossbowmen in the defense tower who are always vigilant against the surrounding grass and trees, and in buildings like these with scientific and technological research projects, there are also these exclusive researchers.
Even Qi Lin guessed that in those private houses and barracks, there was probably a man and a woman who were responsible for giving birth to babies.
It's just that these people will stay in that building of their own for the rest of their lives, and they won't step out of the door of those buildings even once.
Seeing Qi Lin coming, these exclusive personnel who had just finished upgrading the town's science and technology and were idle and had nothing to do hurriedly stood up from their seats and saluted him respectfully.
"Is there a new mission? Checkmate. A dedicated officer asked cautiously.
"Well, let me see what I can upgrade first." Qi Lin nodded and said.
"Okay general, this is an optional upgrade item after this town's technology level is upgraded." The man quickly picked up an animal skin scroll from the table next to him and respectfully handed it to Qi Lin.
Qi Lin took the scroll from the man's hand and opened it, seeing that there were four upgrade options on it.
Research - Loom: Slightly increases the defense capabilities of the inhabitants.
Research - Wheelbarrow: A small increase in the amount of resources carried by urban residents while the speed of the residents is moving.
Study – Town Lookout: Slightly improve the visibility of the people in the building.
Upgrade - Castle Period: The upgrade conditions have not been met and have not been unlocked.
Looking at the three research projects, Qi Lin only thought for less than a few seconds, and then decisively chose the research project of the town lookout.
Qi Lin didn't plan to use Uncle Farmer to fight, so it was useless to upgrade Uncle Farmer's defense for the time being, not to mention the amount of resources carried, there were no resources around this Calradia town at all, so in Qi Lin's opinion, upgrading this was useless.
In this way, only the town lookout is somewhat useful.
"Let's study the town lookout." Qi Lin pointed to the items on the scroll and said.
"Okay, General."
