I have tens of millions of wage earners

Chapter 643 Brother Bao Ying's Internal Affairs Ideas
The villagers flattered and flattered themselves in all kinds of ways, which made Brother Bao Ying feel a little embarrassed.

Although the tax is exempted for one year, there is no need to pay food.

But brother Bao Ying feels that this is not worth bragging too much, it is just a little money.

The food tax burden is exempted for one year, but the actual cost is not high.

Brother Bao Ying made a little calculation, the grain that hundreds of villagers can hand over in a year, in dinars, is at most a few thousand copper coins.

Maybe it can be sold to a place where there is a shortage of food, but that is another matter.

Although Brother Bao Ying is not a rich second generation, but he has been in the game for such a long time, and the total number of dinars he has obtained through part-time jobs and mission adventures has exceeded 10.

As an ordinary player, Brother Bao Ying naturally wouldn't consume all of the dinars he got. Although he sold some of the dinars he got, he also consumed some.

But Brother Bao Ying still has about [-] to [-] dinars in his hand.

Enough to spend!

The main reason is that the villagers can't get enough to eat, and they can't bear to collect more grain.

Brother Bao Ying thinks he is still a lord with a long-term vision.

Collect less food, wait until it develops in the future and then collect it...

Take a long-term view and give priority to the development of internal affairs.

In this era, the first priority of internal affairs is naturally agriculture. We must first fill the stomachs of the villagers before we can talk about development!

So Brother Bao Ying asked his villagers again, what is the main problem facing the agricultural production of Huomao Village?
The answers of the villagers were very unified.

Because of the terrain of Huomao Village, it is a little difficult to irrigate the farmland through the river.

At present, when the villagers are farming and watering, most of them have to go to the river to pick.

But because the main farmland is hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters away from the creek, and every time I come back, I have to climb a small slope.

So, not easy.

The young and middle-aged people in the village are doing well in farming, but it is still quite strenuous for those old people or women who are farming to carry two large buckets of heavy water to walk.

There have also been accidents similar to accidentally falling while carrying water.

Huomao Village is next to the small river. Since irrigation is difficult, everyone is not stupid. Someone thought of digging a canal to bring water from the river to Huomao Village.

But to dig a canal, you have to pass through an apple grove halfway.

And that piece of apple grove is fertile, and the apples grow big and delicious. It is the private property of the former lord.

The knight is not a particularly rich lord, and the apple grove is naturally his darling, and the lord's property must not be violated by the villagers!
Therefore, it has not been possible to open canals and divert water for irrigation.

Agriculture has trouble with water, so this is a big problem!

Brother Bao Ying took a look, and there was indeed an apple grove not far from the village.

This apple grove was the private property of the previous lord, so it naturally became the private property of the current lord.

The location of this apple orchard seems to be really good.

The land is fertile, and the apples grow many and well, which is comparable to the beggar's version of the spirit of nature.

The distance from the river to the apple grove is less than 100 meters, so carrying water is not a problem.

Obviously, the best land in Huomao Village was occupied by the lord for private property.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, Brother Bao Ying will not be aggrieved.

What's more, Brother Bao Ying also hopes that his own apple grove can be as fertile and outstanding as possible.

Separated by the lord's private apple grove, the villagers' arable land generally needs to carry water for 600 meters or even a kilometer, and there is also a climbing section, which is indeed difficult for the elderly.

Of course this difficulty is neither fatal nor insurmountable.

So for so many years, the villagers have come here like this.

But the villagers hope to build an irrigation canal if possible.

The lord does not need to pay, but only needs the lord's consent, then the villagers will be very happy to repair the aqueduct spontaneously.

The previous lord was worried that the construction of the aqueduct in the village would more or less encroach on some of his private apple orchard land, so he never gave permission.

Although Brother Bao Ying also valued Apple Grove, he was still different from the previous lord.

New Era!Here we come!
After receiving the request from the villagers to repair the canal, the new lord Bao Ying, after a little consideration, immediately said that there was no big problem.

It is worth the sacrifice of a mere apple grove for the sake of agriculture.

Not to mention the construction of canals, at best it will only occupy a small piece of apple orchard land.

It is the apple orchard that occupies 20% or even 30%.

What does it matter?

To be honest, although Brother Bao Ying cares about the output of the apple grove, he is not like the previous knight, who only refers to this industry for food.

Brother Bao Ying knew very well that his main income for a period of time in the future would definitely be to participate in wars as a player taking risks and doing missions.

Instead of operating one-third of an acre of his own territory.

Apple Grove does not account for a high proportion of Brother Baoying's income.

And the long-term benefits brought by the construction of the canal can definitely offset the loss of some apple orchards being destroyed.

Just now he generously announced his agreement, but at this time the village administrator NPC came to Bao Ying's side and offered him a piece of advice.

That is, the flow of the small river separating Micang Village and Huomao Village is not very large.

Especially in the dry season with bad weather, the amount of water is even more worrying.

Although it does not mean that there is a lack of water like in arid areas, it does not mean that water can be taken casually without any scruples.

Micang Village next door is also a large farmer, with a much larger population and arable land area than Huomao Village. If Huomao Village builds a canal next to the small river to intercept the water, it may cause trouble for the villagers of Micang Village. dissatisfaction.

Hearing the warning from the NPC village administrator, Brother Bao Ying was taken aback for a moment, then nodded unconsciously.

Indeed, I thought it was too simple.

The previous lord had never built aqueducts on the nearby river, and it may have something to do with not daring to compete with the nearby villages for water sources.

After all, not to mention ancient times, even in modern society, it is not uncommon for two villages to fight because of border assets such as rivers, land, and forest land.

If the water in this small river is indeed not that abundant.

Then, if a canal is dug on the small river, it is very likely to cause dissatisfaction among the people in the neighboring Micang village.

When it develops into a conflict between the two villages, it will be difficult to deal with it.
Whether it is the number of villagers in Micang Village or the strength of the lord of Micang Village, Northwest Cut King, they are obviously superior to those in Huomao Village.

Besides, I have a good relationship with the Northwest Killing King, so there is no need for any conflicts.
