Chapter 101 Large Grain Producers
How do you calculate the food production of a region?
It's a fairly simple question, multiplying the total number of fields in the area by the yield per unit of field harvested at one time, and multiplying it by the number of harvests of that type of grain in a year.
I believe that most people do.
However, Langdon really doesn't have a clear understanding of the grain production in his territory.
As soon as the land in the Maas region is scattered, there are now about 100 fields cultivated by Langdon, of various sizes and shapes, and it is very difficult to count the total number of fields.
Coupled with the bonus that the territory has the heart of the city, as well as the growth skill of all things, this makes the harvest time of a batch of grains also less fixed.
Therefore, Langdon never thought of completely sorting out the specific situation of the territory's grain production, as long as it was enough to control the total amount of each harvest.
For example, the food that was spawned in the growth of all things at the previous time, based on the consumption of the total population of Langdon's current territory, is enough for the territory to last for nearly a year without a shortage of food.
Even if the Larry brothers recruit people back, it will be enough to support them for half a year.
And since the last time everything was used to grow, it has been almost three months, that is, the skill CD is about to be transferred, and Langdon has already sent the bear goblins to start sowing seeds again.
By the time everything grows with the next use, the territory's grain reserves will exceed a year.
For this territory, this total amount is too much, it is a waste at all, only three months of reserves are left, even if it is considered that the scale of the territory will continue to expand in the future and the population will continue to increase, at most half a year's reserves will be left, and the rest of these, Langdon has long had a plan, that is, trade.
Of course, with the current situation of the territory, Langdon will not take the initiative to go out to seek a trade partner, this can be regarded as a kind of self-protection, and when the territory is not strong enough, such a large-scale grain reserve is enough to attract the covetousness of major powers.
So Langdon had already decided that if a force came to the door and was reliable enough, he would make a deal with them, and sign a confidentiality treaty, and he must not leak the content of the transaction.
At the same time, Langdon also made second-hand preparations, and if there was no force to find him, he would go to the Isis Mistress.
Trading with his mother, maybe you can get more benefits, but it's easy to bear the name of being kicked out and living on your mother cheekily, Langdon is not a saint, and he also has vanity, so it's best to avoid this situation, there is really no way, in order to survive better, it's okay to do it once in a while, but it definitely can't last long.
Now, of course, it seems that there is no need for even this occasional one.
I have to say that the people of the Hoflan family came really in time, and the important thing is that, judging from their early performance, they really came with sincerity, not trying to squeeze Langdon, a newcomer, or simply using the name of trade to find out the news.
Of course, the latter must also exist, as can be seen from the reports of his subordinates in the past few days.
The head of the mission, Zora, had been discussing various specific trade contents with Lu Zijing, because it involved grain trade, and asked Lu Zijing to take her to a field to investigate.
However, Zoe, the young man who had been so aggressive when he handed Langdon the trade goods scroll, was not so peaceful, and she barely stayed at the Mission's lodgings for the past few days, leaving the lodgings early in the morning.
After a few days, she had a clear understanding of the situation in Yuanwang Town.
However, as it was, she wanted to leave the town, but Langdon refused to do so on the grounds of "protecting the safety of the mission", and incidentally increased the number of soldiers at the city gates and patrols.
This made Zoe very unhappy, and even made a provocative remark during a meal, but was immediately pressed by Zola, and Langdon didn't bother to pay attention to this small provocation.
As for the specific soldiers in the territory, she couldn't find out, a few days before they came, Zhu Lingqi took most of the troops out to train, including the goblin knights and lizardmen spearmen, under Langdon's signal, they haven't come back yet.
Hogg was particularly calm about the taking away of his military power, or rather heartless, not only not angry, but also happy to have more time to stay with Langdon.
In this way, after several days of discussions, the two parties finally met officially again.
"Lord Langdon. Zola bowed slightly to Langdon, everyone has eaten together a few times in the past few days, and they are familiar with each other, so there is no need to be so solemn and polite.
"Ms. Zola. Langdon nodded in return, and then asked, "How is it, Ms. Zola, how have you communicated with Zijing in the past two days?"
"Miss Lu Zijing is very welcoming. Although she stayed with Lu Zijing almost every day in the past few days, Zora was still not used to the pronunciation of this name, but this did not affect her to speak, "She took me to see the granaries of your territory, and also to see the fields, I have to say, this gave me a new understanding of your territory." ”
After a pause, she continued: "The grain production of a territory, although it is directly related to the land, is also restricted by other conditions, the population of your territory does not seem to be large, and the land in the Maas region has always been recognized as barren, but in the hands of Lord Langdon has bloomed with such great energy, I have to say that this is a surprising feat. ”
"Lady Zola is so complimentary, I'm just lucky. Langdon laughed.
"Our family has sent people here many times to try to grow food, but in the end there are no good results, as soon as you come here, it changed, you said it was luck, do you think anyone will believe it?" This time it was not Zora who spoke, but Zoe who started her, and she was the only one in the entire mission who spoke so impulsively.
"Zoe!" Zora's face was slightly gloomy, glaring at Zoe before turning to Langdon, "Lord Langdon......"
"Actually, I'm not prepared to be believed. Langdon interrupted Zola with his mouth, and the whole mission was in a good mood, just this Zoe was all kinds of tossing and turning against him, he was not a saint, but he would not always put up with it, "Whether some people believe it or not, this is my territory now, if some people are red-eyed, you can try to take it from me." ”
His tone was still indifferent, but in such an atmosphere, coupled with the fact that he had just won a battle not long ago, this sentence was full of inexplicable momentum for no reason.
"You ......" Zoe's face changed, and he wanted to say something, but he felt two sharp eyes shoot at him, but it was Zora, the head of the mission's face completely sank, obviously completely angry at Zoe's recklessness.
Zoe's momentum weakened suddenly, and after doing so, she glared at Langdon fiercely and didn't speak again.
"So, Lady Zola, you must have read my needs, how do you feel about such a trade treaty?" Langdon seemed completely untouched, pulling the conversation back on track.
Zola was stunned, couldn't help but look at Langdon more, and then smiled bitterly: "I have to say, Your Excellency Langdon has an excellent clerk." ”
