Chapter 36: Clearing the Wasteland

After Ronald made such a fuss, Li Yunyang even went to do a grain investigation, and he found that at least in the entire viscountdom, except for a small amount of grain that can be bought at a high price in Brory Town, the others can only find sources from the black market or from unscrupulous merchants, but the price is at least twice as expensive as the market!

It is no wonder that when paying taxes, he has to pay grain, and he doesn't even want the silver that is spent in vain, because grain is so valuable! This also made Li Yunyang extremely interested in the grain output in his territory for the first time.

For several days in a row, in addition to staying at Qiao's place to study, Li Yunyang almost ran to the banker's field as soon as he was free.

Although Li Yunyang is also a college student, he really doesn't know anything about farmland, but he has never eaten pork, so he has always seen pigs running, right? With the deepening of the inspection, Li Yunyang still found a lot of problems.

For example, when it comes to fertilization, he found that there is almost no such thing as fertilization in all fields, and the only thing they can do to help the crops is to hoe and water the weeds.

There is also the area of farmland, according to the statistics of the old housekeeper Robin, there are more than 800 families living in Pirkal, and there are at least 800 households who live by farming.

The annual yield per mu of farmland is pitiful, except for taxes, if you are lucky, you can eat a little better, but once you are unlucky, you will encounter drought, floods, insects or something, it is not easy to say that you can eat, and even paying taxes will be a big problem!

Looking at the scattered crops in the field, Li Yunyang roughly estimated that this yield was almost one-tenth of the earth's!

After going back, Li Yunyang stayed in the room, thinking about it day and night, and finally let him figure out some solutions to some problems.

That evening, he convened an emergency meeting against the Pirka Collar, and the entire Pirka Collar had to be attended, which was also the largest proportional meeting held in the history of the Star Continent.

Li Yunyang basically did not elaborate on the content of the meeting, because he knew that there were some things that were not clear to them at all, and the main purpose of his meeting was to order that every afternoon, each peasant household must send a manpower for the unified command of the lord, and together they would raise the living standard of the Pirka Collar to another level!

Of course, that day, Li Yunyang passionately described the beauty of the future when the sky was falling and foaming at the mouth, but below were more than a thousand expressionless and incomprehensible faces.

Li Yunyang didn't care about these, but what he cared about was that the next afternoon, more than 800 laborers actually arrived at the open space outside Johnson Manor on time, which made Li Yunyang very pleased.

The militia team that had been organized was also included in the Reclamation Brigade, and the number of people was gathered to a full thousand, Li Yunyang divided the team into three parts, the first team was responsible for building wells evenly within the territory of the territory, and the second team was responsible for cutting down all the large areas of woodland in the territory.

The three teams had the largest number of tasks, and they were also the most numerous, and they were responsible for transporting the felled trees to the borders of the territory, straightening and flattening the trunks that were thicker than the thighs, sharpening the tops, and then sticking them in a wall-like pattern along the edges of the territory, and then fixing them to death.

Then those small branches and stems are also flattened and sharpened, making rows of stabbing spears, and cooperating with the fence to evenly stretch the thorn spears out of the cracks in the fence, and the tips of the spears are facing outward, which is also fixed and pierced.

The whole project took nearly half a month, especially the row of fences that almost surrounded the entire territory, and in the end, almost even the soldiers were sent by Li Yunyang to help.

Looking at the row of majestic wall-like fences, Li Yunyang didn't want to mention how happy he was, not to mention that the crops in the future would not be easily spoiled by some large beasts, and even the leaders would not be disturbed by beasts or even demonic beasts when they were farming!

Fixing the well with wooden planks that dug deep into the well, and then watching the water slowly seeping out gather at the bottom of the well, Li Yunyang smiled again.

Because so far, Li Yunyang has only found a small reservoir in his territory, and this kind of soil reservoir itself has the ability to absorb water.

But the well is different, as long as the situation is not very strict, the entire territory has almost sixty wells, it should be enough!

As for the forests that have been cleared out, Li Yunyang has already ordered them to start turning over the soil one by one, waiting for the right season, and then it can be included in the scope of fertile land for cultivation, and the preliminary estimate is that this reclamation will produce more than 100 acres of fertile land, and the reduction of disasters and the increase of fields will be carried out, and then the big manure and other things that were originally washed into the river to feed the fish will be used as fertilizer......

Gee...... It's really limited in my own ability, otherwise I will have a way to dig a ditch and divert a ditch to carry out flood discharge and flood prevention...... Then it really would be perfect.

Due to the construction of the fence-type fence, the original method of uninterrupted patrols of soldiers in three shifts in the territory has been replaced by the system of standing guard in two groups and taking turns in two shifts, not to mention saving half of the manpower, and the safety efficiency has also been doubled

The distance between each guard point is also appropriately allocated, if there is a situation at one station, then this point can be completely notified to the guards of the left and right stations by shouting, and then the guards on both sides can continue to spread the news to the outside, so that it can basically ensure that once there is a problem, the nearby soldiers can immediately help, even the soldiers in the barracks can get the news within three minutes, and reinforcements arrive within fifteen minutes.

While getting safe, Li Yunyang even found that the hundreds of acres of wasteland that were abandoned on the edge of the territory were not planted by anyone before, but now they can be fully utilized!

However, for a whole month of this commotion, the entire people of the Pirka Territory did not know what the young lord was trying to do! Could it be that his brain was broken?

The good forest had to be cut down, and even the roots of the tree were dug out and turned upside down! Oh my God...... Do these trees have such a hatred for you?

Even if he cut down the trees, he had to dig a pit in the ground with a large group of people...... At first I thought he was looking for something, but he made us dig dozens of pits in a row! And each pit was about as small and so deep...... What if someone accidentally falls?

Not only that, the trees that were cut down could have been used to build houses, chop wood and burn something, but he didn't, he had to put the trees on the edge of the territory, please...... No one is going to come and take your territory away, so you don't need to be so careful, right?
