Chapter 77: Spring Ploughing
With a long face full of beards and curly flaxen hair hanging down from his shoulders, he looked like a vagabond at first glance.
This is the mayor of Snakehead Town, and he is also the patriarch of the Black Snake family.
Muhans Black Snake.
2-Ring Phantom Beast Knight.
"Welcome all farmers to participate in the spring ploughing coordination meeting." Muhans's face was a little pale, as if he had overindulged.
I can't see the demeanor of a phantom beast knight in him.
Even the mental outlook is inferior to that of an ordinary knight on the street, and his speech is soft and weak, without the majesty of a superior person.
On the contrary, inadvertently, it will reveal a cold texture like a poisonous snake: "In the four directions of southeast, west, and north, there are a total of 142 farms that already have owners, some of which have been in business for many years, and some have just started, and everyone hopes for a good harvest." ”
There was a pause.
Mayor Muhans said indifferently: "I also hope that everyone can have a good harvest, but this is a matter for the future, starting from this year's spring ploughing, all farms must vacate half of the area to plant sour plasma blood spirit fruit." Seeds are distributed by the Serpent's Head Tower. ”
Although the voice is flat, the content is powerful.
"Free up half of the area to plant the Sour Plasma Blood Spirit Fruit?" At that time, some farmers couldn't help but ask, "Mayor Muhans, our farm is already full, can we wait until autumn sowing to plant the sour plasma blood spirit fruit?" ”
"Nope."
"Is there a subsidy for the crops that are shoveled?"
"Nope."
"Then that's cruel to us, isn't it?"
That's what Duke was trying to say.
He spent a lot of gold dragons to plant a hundred acres of wheat seedlings, and now the wheat seedlings have not yet grown, and shoveling them is no different from cutting meat.
"I can understand your difficulties, but I don't want to do this, but this is not something that our Snake Head Tower can decide, nor is it something that our Black Snake Family can decide." Mayor Muhans shook his head, his tone still unhurried.
"So who decides?" Someone asked.
"Good question, I can only tell you that it was decided by this pioneering war. I'm sure you've all heard the news of the second safe passage and the encounter with the crypt marching ants, in fact, not only the second safe passage, but also the entire Cuihai Valley, where a large number of crypt marching ants have been found. ”
The Crypt Marching Ant is the weakest 3-ring spirit beast, but by constantly stacking the number of 1-ring arcane-mud armor, its defense can be called invincible.
Once the mercenary group falls into it, it will be wiped out immediately.
"In order to pacify Cuihai Valley as soon as possible, the Shenjiao City Pioneer War General Headquarters will dispatch 0-ring spirit beasts-acid cantharids from all over the country to corrode the mud armor of the crypt marching ants with the special acid of acid cantharids. And the acid cantharid must be fed with the sour plasma blood spirit fruit, which can only be supplied by our snake head town. ”
"Elder Town, there are still many farms in Xiaohewan South that have not yet been cultivated, why not use these new farms to grow the Sour Pulp Blood Spirit Fruit?"
"Who said no, when the spring ploughing is over, all the Xiaohewan farms that have not yet been sold will be planted with sour plasma blood spirit fruits."
"Forehead ......"
The farmers were at a stumble.
Soon, someone asked: "Mayor of the town, can't you supply it from Shenjiao City or the surrounding market towns first?" Waiting for us to harvest this season's crops, and then planting the sour pulp blood spirit fruit, maybe it's a better way, don't you think? ”
"Acid cantharids can only produce special acid in their bodies by eating the freshest sour plasma blood spirit fruit, so they must be planted on the farm in Snake Head Town, which is the closest distance." Mu Hans was probably impatient, and waved his hand directly, "That's all for this meeting, all of you come to the Snake Head Tower to receive seeds during spring ploughing. ”
Don't give farmers a chance to refuse.
Muhans Black Snake got up directly and walked out of the conference room without looking back.
After he left, the conference room exploded, and the farmers complained that half of the fields were too ruthless.
"Someone's life!"
"No, I only planted wheat before the winter, and I'm going to go bankrupt if I have to shovel half of it!"
"I still have a third of the vacant land, alas, a little more from the rest of the crops, that's all I can do."
"Don't you really see us as human beings?"
"Whoever calls us Lingzhi envoys, except for farming, no one can bully."
"Do a dry egg, I'm going to sell the farm and go back to work as a long-term worker." A 0-ring spirit plant farmer spreads his hands and has nothing to love.
Duke chimed in.
But he didn't feel so distressed, after all, the majority of the money-making business had been replaced by cooperating with Captain Zina to repair cards, and the farm had become a side hustle.
It's a pity that it's useless to complain.
These more than 100 farmers either accept or go out, there is no third choice.
When Duke returned to the villa, Sally immediately inquired about the meeting, and when she learned that half of the wheat seedlings were to be removed, she was so distressed that she scolded her.
Aunt Abi also yelled at the sky.
Levine was silent, but clearly in a bad mood.
"Don't be so frustrated, I still have the capital, eradicating the wheat seedlings and sour pulp blood spirit fruit is a regulation issued by Shenjiao City, if you can't resist, then obey." Duke optimistically reassured everyone, "In the other two days, you follow me and remove the Lingzhi wheat first." ”
Shovel fifty acres of wheat seedlings, among which the ordinary wheat seedlings don't matter, but the 0 ring spirit planting wheat seedlings must be retained.
While hanging up breathing.
Duke marked 0 rings on one side of the wheat seedlings.
Sally and a group of farm workers followed behind to dig up the wheat seedlings and put them in a tricycle, and Levine transported them one by one, sending the wheat seedlings to the other side of the farm to be replanted in the wheat field.
Fifty acres of land is not a small amount, and it took everyone two days to transplant the wheat seedlings of 0 ring Lingzhi.
After doing this.
I invited a farming team to come and shovel all the 50 acres of wheat seedlings, open the ridges and ditches, and prepare for cultivating the sour pulp blood spirit fruit.
……
In a flash, the coldest January has passed.
By the end of February, the weather is gradually beginning to bloom.
The spring ploughing in Snakehead Town officially began, and the staff of the Snakehead Tower also notified each farm to go to the Snakehead Tower to receive the seeds of the Sour Plasma Blood Spirit Fruit.
This batch of sour plasma blood spirit fruit seeds are all seeds left by the 0 ring spirit plant.
Only by signing the contract can the seeds be received, and then the cultivation and growth links are taken care of by each farm, and the harvested fruits are arranged by the town.
"You can rest assured, the town will not let the farm suffer, and when the sour plasma blood spirit fruit is ripe, it will be recycled at half the price on the market. If the acid cantharid goes directly to the farm to eat, it will be compensated according to the same standard, and the income is no less than that of planting other crops. ”
The staff said it nicely, but the farmers who signed the contract didn't believe it.
If the town really cared about everyone's interests, it would be impossible to directly ask all the farms to vacate half of the space to grow the Sour Plasma Blood Spirit Fruit without compensation.
"I've already listed the farm for sale, I don't want to fish for the oil and water of the war, so I'd better migrate to other places to make a stable living."
After signing the contract, a farmer said that the jar was broken.
Duke didn't answer.
I don't believe that the other party will give up the farm that has been cultivated for many years, which is why the town will take the farmer at will. Many farmers invest their life savings in the farm, and no matter how harsh the conditions are, it is impossible to give up the farm.
