Since the topic of farming was discussed, Gavin followed this head and said to the end: "We now rely on the model of imported grain, which is also an expedient measure, and it is always a dangerous thing to hand over our basic livelihood to others, it is easy to be stuck by others, and it is urgent to carry out our planting industry, and the next ten days will be an excellent time for farming, and it will definitely be too late to reclaim the land."

The next time the caravan arrives, there will be a few wagons of grain seeds, Goss, you have to pay attention to distinguish, don't eat it as coarse grain, and then you take a few teams of people and follow me to the mountains to bury seeds, as long as the seeds are smashed, there will always be a harvest. ”

Gavin didn't come up with this matter on an improvised basis, but had a detailed plan for a long time.

The rocky terrain is just complex, not a barren area.

Like the plains, there are no large areas of river flats, but those relatively gentle slopes and valleys can still be reclaimed for a lot of small plots of cultivated land.

The kobolds and goblins themselves are not entirely uncultivated, and the Black Well tribe has a piece of their own farming land in the small river beach.

It's just that compared with the intensive cultivation of human beings, they are typical rough farming, just sowing seeds, irrigation, weeding, and insect control, all of which are nothing, and how much they can harvest in the end depends on the time of day.

With the current conditions, Gavin can only adopt the kobold farming method, but the area should be expanded, not only to plant all the hills around the Black Well Tribe, but to plant as many grain seeds as he can collect, anyway, it is Borderland, who knows how many people the Black Well Tribe will have this winter.

Gavin was not going to plant grains that were more demanding on the land, but vine vegetables and root crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

These crops have a unified characteristic, that is, the yield is large, easy to survive, the management requirements are not high, as long as the weather is not too bad, the harvest is usually relatively stable, can be used as food and vegetables, but also easy to store, especially the kobold mine, is an excellent storage environment, from this summer to next summer will not be bad.

Gavin knew that they couldn't provide much advice on this matter, so he passed by, and his eyes still fell on Zack.

Zach hurriedly shook his head and said, "Lord Chief, all I can think of at the moment is just these two points, you might as well ask the others first, and then I will think about it." ”

"Okay." Gavin also knew that he couldn't hold on to one person, and his eyes swept over the faces of the others one by one, "What about you?" ”

"I ...... I...... I have a ...... I don't know if it counts. The young pastor cautiously raised her hand, and because of her nervousness, the old mistake had returned.

"Oh?" Gavin lifted his spirits, his eyes fell on Anna, and he said with great interest, "Let's talk about it first." ”

"I ...... I want to build a church...... He...... Churches in Ilmat...... I would like to bring those who are interested in kobolds ...... Lead to the path of faith in the God of Suffering. Being stared at by so many people, the young pastor became even more nervous, and the beads of sweat on her round forehead began to roll down.

"The God of Crucifixion accepts believers from other humanoid races?" Gavin asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yilmat is a god of mercy, and as long as he believes in his path, he does not value his ethnic origin." Speaking of faith, Anna's nervousness has become much lighter, "We can't use our own narrow eyes to guess the hearts of the gods. ”

Thinking of the change in faith that had just taken place last year, Gavin was very appreciative of the teenage pastor's explanation.

The strength of the gods is no longer directly dependent on the priesthood, but directly related to the number of believers possessed by the material plane.

To put it simply, the more believers you have, the more powerful the deity becomes, and vice versa, if there are no more believers in the physical plane, it will be the moment of the deity's demise.

It is too late for the gods to actively develop believers, and of course they will not care about the origin of the believers.

Gavin didn't answer Anna directly, but turned his gaze to the four kobolds and said, "What is your opinion on this matter?" Does it conflict with your original beliefs? ”

"No conflict, Kurtumak is just our guardian, not exactly our faith."

"Faith is an individual's freedom, and we will not interfere."

The faces of the four kobolds were not too different, and they obviously did not resist this matter.

"In this case, let this matter go, let it go, the church is simple, first follow me, dig a hole and the house will be, as long as you believe in piety, even if it is a statuette, the God of Suffering can hear your prayers." Gavin naturally did not object to this matter, Yilmat was a well-known god of order, and most of the people who had been trained from this church were medical priests, and he would never have too many such priests.

Turning his head, Gavin threw a new task to Anna, "Since teaching them doctrines and prayers must be written in words, why don't you start a literacy class directly in your church and teach those young kobolds the lingua franca." ”

"If you don't say it, Mr. Gavin won, I'll do the same." The young pastor is a good teacher, and she is full of interest in this kind of thing.

"Not only young kobolds, but other adults also need to read and write the lingua franca, especially a few of you, from now on, after work, you still have the task of reading and writing ten common words, and I will check them regularly."

"Yes."

When I heard that I wanted to learn to write a lingua franca, some were excited and interested, and some drooped their heads.

"Including you, roar, your task is heavier, twenty a day."

"Ah......" Hearing his name, the half-ogre instinctively stood up, the corners of his mouth were half a foot long, and he said with a blank face, "My lord, what's the matter." ”

The corners of Gavin's eyes twitched, and he repeated his command, "After training, learn twenty common words every day, and Anna will teach you." ”

"Huh? Yes! The half-ogre's eyes widened, and he touched his bald head in confusion and said, "What am I doing when I learn to read?" ”

"If you want to learn, you will learn, and if you learn one less, you will have one less bowl of rice." Gavin was not prepared to explain at all.

"Yes." The half-ogre sat back with a tangled face, staring at the goblin warlock who was still puffing out his cheeks, thinking about the words they knew him, he didn't know their common words, and he was completely sleepless.

"Who's next?"

"I, I have." Cangya can't bear it.

"Say."

"I think we should domesticate the ferocious ferrets and form a ferocious weasel cavalry." Cangya naturally started from the military field he was most familiar with.

"Not bad idea, but where did this ferocious ferret come from?" Gavin certainly knew the value of cavalry, even if it was more expensive.

"This ......" Cangya obviously didn't think about this question, and replied hesitantly, "we can go to the wild to find and catch it, and bring it back to be domesticated." ”

"It's a solution, but it's not very efficient." Gavin shook his head and said, "When you are training in the wild, pay attention to it and see if there are any ferocious ferrets around, don't force it, I will contact the human merchant to see if there are any channels, but I hope it is not too high, the ferocious ferret mount is not popular on the human side, but it is a pony, and it is not difficult to buy it in bulk, compromise, I will find a way to get you a batch of ponies, you train first, and see if there is a chance to get a ferocious ferret in the future." ”

Due to the burrowing characteristics, kobolds and ferocious ferrets are very compatible temperaments and are natural partners.

The ferocious weasel cavalry is a unique class of kobolds.

Few goblins ride ferocious ferrets, just as few kobolds ride wolves.

It's just that there are so many kobold tribes who have come to take refuge, and I haven't seen a single ferocious ferret, which means that this area is not very prolific.

If you want to get started, you have to find a way from other kobold tribes, whether it's annexation or trade.
