15: Gap
Aslan silently calculated in his heart, according to the daily consumption of an adult in this world is 2 catties, that month is 60 catties, and this acre of land can provide a month's food for ten people.
This is still based on the cultivation of rice, and the situation of other crops will be different.
"Very well, Steward Michelo, you arrange for a few people to continue to take care of these farmlands, and you and old Milley and I go to the hall together, and I have something to discuss with you. Aslan commanded.
The hall of the Castle Lord's Mansion!
Aslan and Michelo Butler and Old Jobs discussed things together.
"Grandpa Michelo, did you do the census that I asked you to do before? Aslan asked.
Butler Michelo took out a thick animal skin book from his pocket and said, "I have done everything that the young master has explained, and for this we have distributed more than 10,000 catties of grain as a reward, and now we have less than 30,000 catties of grain in reserve." ”
What the remaining 10,000 catties were used for Aslan, Michelo didn't know, he only knew that the so-called town center behind the city lord's mansion had become more and more lively recently, and those people were also very capable, actually cultivating farmland on the rocks, and also building a blacksmith shop, among which he also noticed that flax had begun to be cultivated there.
It seems that the young master is becoming more and more capable, and he already knows how to hide clumsy.
"It's okay, when we can produce our own food, we don't have to worry about food. Then you can first report on the population of our Flying Sky City. ”
"Yes! After the census, we now have 1,151 people in Flying City. The Michelo butler said carefully.
"More than nine hundred, I don't remember that many?" Aslan asked curiously.
The Michelo steward explained: "After that war, some of those who left got the news that we had resisted the attack of the Fan Bone Village, and a small group of people decided to return. ”
"Young Master, there is just one thing that is very suspicious, that is, the surrounding farmland is the same as ours, and it is beginning to be unable to grow crops, many people are from other villages in the surrounding areas, this situation is getting more and more serious, and now the houses in Flying City are no longer enough to live, and I am afraid that if this continues, our food will not be able to maintain such a large population. ”
"There is no rest, after all, production and development need population, we accept as much as we come, tomorrow I will let Jace lead everyone to build Iwata and the house where they live, and there is no need to worry about food. Aslan knew in his heart that population was the foundation of everything.
The Steward of Michelo continued: "After our counting, there are four hundred and forty-five young men, five hundred and fifty-three young women and children, and one hundred and fifty-three people who are unable to work and the elderly. ”
"In this way, the population of our Flying City is still quite small. Aslan sighed.
Aslan turned to Old Milley and asked, "Since you are a good farmer, then you should know about the fields in Flying City." “
"Yes, I know a lot about this, when the fields of Flying Sky City were still growing food in the past, everyone asked me for help with anything. Old Milley said this, and there was a hint of pride on his face.
Aslan said: "In this way, I have transformed the entire farmland of Flying Sky City, you should know very well, but this is not enough, so I am ready to reclaim the rock field on a large scale, here I will send Jace to find you, you cooperate with the arrangement, I hope that within two months, the food of Flying City can be self-sufficient." ”
Old Milley looked at Aslan excitedly and said, "Really, can the farmland in Flying City be replanted?"
Aslan pointed to a piece of farmland in front of him and said confidently, "I think you shouldn't have any doubts when you see this." ”
"Well, Lord Castle, I will definitely do what you arranged, as long as the farmland can grow things, I am confident that everyone can eat the food we have grown within two months, and there will be no need to eat wild vegetables, and they will be hungry again." Old Milley said excitedly.
With everything in order, Aslan got up and went to the center of town, and after half a month, Jace completed the task of summoning the villagers he had assigned, and also established a mining farm and a mill.
Aslan couldn't tell with joy at the busy villagers around the center of the town, and at this time Handini had just come out of the barracks.
"The lord of the castle is here. Handini's voice immediately rang out, drawing everyone in.
"Good work!" Aslan greeted the villagers with a smile.
I saw Jace come over with a solemn face.
"Lord Castle, something is wrong. ”
With a faint smile on his face, but with a hint of solemnity in his gaze, Aslan followed Jace into the center of town.
It turns out that the problem Jace is talking about is that the food needed to upgrade the feudal era is far more than expected.
20,000 catties of food, which is a hundred times that of the game, the original cost of the swordsman was more than ten times, and now the upgrade era is directly more than a hundred times, if it is on the earth, it will definitely make Aslan feel numb on the scalp, but unfortunately this is a different world.
"How many acres of farmland are there in the center of the town, and how much is the yield?" Aslan asked subconsciously.
Although he will help to grow rapidly during this time, the huge population consumption is there, and now the food in the town center has been almost consumed, and there are still a few days before the harvest can be harvested, and it is only barely enough to maintain the consumption here in the town center, and it will be at least half a month before the town center will have enough rich food to be handed over to Aslan.
Especially in the center of the town, these peasants consume twice as much food as ordinary people every day, Handini, a swordsman, is more, three times, and he has to eat six catties of food every day to satisfy his cultivation, and now he has completely mastered the sword qi and has become a junior swordsman.
"Eleven acres of rock fields have been established, and three acres are being cultivated, because of the special seeds given by adults, after half a month, it can reach 40,000, and at this rate, after a month, this number can be doubled again, but it will require a large number of people to cultivate the rock fields. ”
Aslan nodded, ready to go back and ask Grandpa Michelo to mobilize 20,000 food.
As for the grain reserves, there is really no way to buy them at that time.
When Michelo knew that Aslan was going to mobilize grain to the center of the town, he was immediately dissatisfied, the population was increasing rapidly, and grain production had just resumed, and these 30,000 catties of grain were likely to become life-saving food for Feitian City.
It wasn't until Aslan's repeated assurances that Michelo was reluctant to mobilize the food, but he had been too busy lately to see the center of the town, and when he saw it again, he was also taken aback by the situation in front of him.
More than a dozen acres of farmland are being cultivated, and there are neatly arranged houses not far away, which are very beautifully planned.
It can be said that with the castle lord's mansion as the center and the direction of the town center to the north, there is already a rudimentary form of a city, while in the south direction, although the population is large, it is a mess, and at most it is a large village.
