Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Dajing Village, this is a small village located in Lanling County, named after a sweet well in the village, with a total population of only two to three hundred people.

All the villagers are refugees who have fled from other places over the years. After arriving here, they are no longer willing to leave, and they all settled here.

Lanling County resettled them here, leased them more than 2,000 mu of farmland, and lent them farm tools and seeds for free.

The most important point is that the land in Lanling County only charges 30% of the land rent, there are no exorbitant taxes, and there is no corvee.

Taking a family of five as an example, they can rent about 50 acres of arable land, and each person can cultivate 10 acres of land on average. Without modern machinery, this is already the limit, and you need to be as tired as a dog to do it.

But after all the hard work, the harvest is also very rich. The annual grain output per mu of land ranges from tens of catties to two hundred.

Calculated as a compromise, a family of five can collect about five or six thousand catties a year, and after paying 30% of the land rent, there will be at least three or four thousand catties left over. On average, each person can have almost two catties of rations per day.

Even if manual laborers have a large appetite, and there is no oil and water in the usual diet, two catties of grain can be mixed to seventy to eighty percent full. In addition, eat some wild vegetables and other pads, and it is almost the same.

Such small days are completely satisfied for the tenants.

On this day, the village head of Dajing Village held a meeting in the town, and when he came back, he announced good news to all the villagers.

The village plans to ask the big guys to dig some ditches to raise fish, and to manage food on the construction site, and each person will have a catty of food stamps per day.

In other places, this kind of work is free corvee, and you have to bring your own dry food. Whenever this kind of thing happens, the tenants are afraid to avoid it.

However, under Zhang He's rule, corvee labor was never collected for free. In addition to food management, wages were also paid.

So men, women and children in Dajing Village rushed to sign up.

The next day, all the people in Dajing Village arrived at the designated place with their tools, except for the old and the weak who were unable to work.

The person in charge of this construction site was a school graduate, who marked out the excavation site for Dajing Village according to the map.

Village chief, I think the shape of these ditches is so strange?

A young man looked at the three ditches allocated to his village, and it didn't look like a fish pond.

You know what a fart, this is the decision of Master Xianshi, can it be different?

Hurry up and work, be careful I will deduct your boy's wages.

The young man was not annoyed by being scolded by the village chief a few times, he walked up to a big girl with a smile, picked up the hoe and dug down hard.

Guys, pay attention to digging well, these ditches will be leased to our village to raise fish and ducks in the future.

In the future, whether our village can eat fish depends entirely on these ditches.

It is said that the villagers are more motivated. Although the fish meat is fishy without oil, it is still meat anyway.

For tenants who are reluctant to throw away dead chickens, ducks, and rotten eggs, a little fishy smell is nothing.

Those who can survive these years are those who are not picky eaters.

Thanks to the enthusiasm of tenants everywhere, the trenches marked by Zhang He on the map were completed in just over a month.

Migrant workers eat and pay wages, and the food they spend is worth more than one hundred spirit stones.

Compared with zombies coming out to wreak havoc everywhere, it is much more cost-effective.

Now the land of the three counties under Zhang He's jurisdiction is full of ditches. If zombies appear here, it must be difficult for them to move.

Finally, there is a solution to the problem of zombies. What Zhang He is thinking about now is, what should he do if a large-scale monster locust comes?

The monster locusts are flying in the sky, and their speed is extremely fast.

Because the Black Water Army is fully equipped with armor, ordinary locusts can't break through their defenses, but they are not afraid.

It's just that every time the monster locusts appear, the number is very large, and the speed is too fast, so it is not easy to kill them quickly.

So Zhang He thought about refining a batch of magical artifacts similar to fishing nets, but the copper in his hand was definitely not suitable for refining such magical artifacts.

Need to find another material,

It's best if the price is not too expensive, otherwise he can refine one or two pieces, but he can't afford more.

Zhang He went around the Fangshi in Zhaoling City, but couldn't find any suitable materials, so he went to Lule City instead.

A magic weapon such as the refining net requires soft materials, but also must have enough toughness, and it is best not to be afraid of swords, guns, water and fire.

There are not many materials that can meet these conditions at the same time. Even if there are a small number of materials, the price is very expensive, which is not suitable for its wide-scale application.

Lu Le City is still in the hands of Young Master Fei, and he is running it very prosperously, especially in the square market of Lu Le City, which gathers special products from all over the world, and there are many kinds of them.

After Zhang He entered Fangshi, he first went to the largest material store in Fangshi, and when he entered the store, he went directly to the waiter to inquire.

May I ask if there are any materials suitable for refining the net magic weapon in the store?

Of course there are such materials. Our shop now has silkworm silk, green gold silk, and demon beef tendon...

The waiter reported the names of more than ten kinds of materials in succession.

As a craftsman, Zhang He knew these materials well.

The waiter didn't fool him, these materials are all suitable for refining net-shaped magic tools.

It's just the price of these materials, none of which is cheap.

What price did you quote for the Vajra Vine just now?

The price of Vajra Vine varies according to the age of its growth.

At the lowest level, the ten-year-old Vajra Vine sells for one spirit stone, the fifty-year-old Vajra Vine sells for twelve spirit stones, the hundred-year-old Vajra Vine store only has one, and the price is fifty yuan. Out of stock now.

Zhang He's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he heard this, one or two vines are definitely not enough to refine a large net, and if the quantity is too large, the cost will be frighteningly high.

Show me a 50-year-old diamond vine.

Hearing this, the waiter in the shop took a dry and yellowed long vine from the container and handed it to Zhang He.

Zhang He took over the long vine. The dried vine was light golden yellow in color and relatively flexible to the touch. After trying to pull it, it felt very strong.

According to his knowledge of refining weapons, this fifty-year-old Vajra Rattan is extremely tough and can withstand a lot of impact.

But in the face of swords, the 50-year-old Vajra Vine is a little worse, and it is easy to be cut by sharp weapons.

As for the monks' fighting skills, most of them are swords and the like. If this net is cast out, they will soon be pulled out of a hole for people to enter and exit.

Vajra vines that are at least fifty years old are needed, but the price is too high.

If you use fifty-year-old vajra vines to refine a net-shaped magic weapon, you need at least five, so it will cost 60 spirit stones.

If his subordinates configure it casually, hundreds of nets will be needed, and the cost will cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Even with his current financial resources, he couldn't afford it.

Moreover, he uses a relatively large amount, and this store may not be able to produce so many products.
