Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Dajing Village is a small village located in Lanling County. It is named after a large sweet well in the village. It has 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 never want to leave and they all make their homes here.

Lanling County settled them here, rented them more than 2,000 acres 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, and there are no excessive taxes or corvee.

Taking a family of five as an example, they can rent almost 50 acres of farmland. On average, each person cultivates ten acres of land. Without modern machinery, this is already the limit, and they need to be as tired as a dog.

However, after hard work, the harvest is also very rich. The annual grain output per mu of land ranges from dozens of kilograms to two hundred kilograms.

After making a compromise calculation, a family of five can earn about five to six thousand catties per year. After paying 30% of the land rent, there will be at least three to four thousand catties left. On average, each person can have almost two catties of rations per day.

Even if a manual worker has a large appetite, and there is no oil or water in his daily diet, he can still be half full with two kilograms of grain. In addition, he can eat some wild vegetables and other snacks, and he will be almost full.

For the tenants, they were completely satisfied with such a small life.

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

"The village is going to ask the big guys to dig some ditches to raise fish and take care of the food on the construction site. Each person will also get a pound of food stamps per day."

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

However, under Zhang He, corvées were never collected for free. In addition to taking care of the food, wages were also paid. This kind of job became a hot commodity that everyone competed for.

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

The next day, in the entire Dajing Village, except for the old and weak who were unable to work, everyone arrived at the designated location carrying tools.

The person in charge of this construction site was a school graduate. According to the map marks, he designated the excavation site for Dajing Village.

"Village Chief, I think the pattern of these ditches looks strange?"

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

"You know nothing, kid. This is Master Immortal's decision. Is there any difference?

If you don't work quickly, I'll deduct your wages. "

The young man was not annoyed even after being scolded by the village chief several times. He walked next to an older girl with a smile, picked up the hoe and started digging hard.

"Guys, please pay attention to digging carefully. These ditches will be rented to our village for raising fish and ducks in the future.

Whether our village will be able to eat fish in the future will all depend on these ditches. "

Hearing this, the villagers became more motivated. Although fish meat is more fishy when made without oil, it is still meat after all.

For tenants who are not willing to throw away dead chickens, ducks, and rotten eggs, a little fishy smell is nothing.

Those who survive these days are those who are not picky eaters.

Thanks to the enthusiasm of tenant farmers from all over the country, it took just over a month to complete the trenches marked by Zhang He on the map.

The migrant workers were given food and wages, and the food they spent was worth more than a hundred spiritual stones.

It's much more cost-effective than zombies coming out to cause trouble everywhere.

Now the three counties under Zhang He's jurisdiction are full of trenches. If zombies appear here, it will be difficult to move.

Finally, there is a way to deal with the zombie problem. What Zhang He is thinking now is, what should he do if a large-scale demonic locust comes to Fan?

The demon locusts are all flying in the sky, and they are very fast.

Because the Black Water Army is all equipped with armor, ordinary demonic locusts cannot break through the defenses, so they are not afraid.

It's just that every time the demonic locusts appear, they are in large numbers, and they are too fast, so it is not easy to kill them quickly.

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

He needs to find other materials, preferably ones that are not too expensive, otherwise he will be able to refine one or two pieces, but he will not be able to afford more.

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

Magical tools such as refining nets require soft materials and sufficient toughness. It is best to be able to withstand 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, they are very expensive and are not suitable for large-scale applications.

Lule City is still in the hands of Gongzi Fei, and it is very prosperous under his management. Especially the market in Lule City has a rich variety of specialties from all over the world.

After Zhang He entered Fangshi, he first went to the largest material store in Fangshi. When he entered the store, he went directly to the waiter to ask.

"Is there any material suitable for refining a mesh-shaped magic weapon in the store?"

"Such materials naturally exist. Our store now has silkworm silk, lapis lazuli silk, demon beef tendon..."

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

As a weapon refiner, Zhang He was quite familiar with these materials.

The waiter didn't fool him. These materials were suitable for refining the mesh magic weapon.

But the price of these materials is not cheap.

"What price did you quote for the Diamond Vine just now?"

“The price of diamond vine varies depending on the age of growth.

At the lowest level, a 10-year-old Diamond Vine costs one spiritual stone, a 50-year-old Diamond Vine costs 12 spiritual stones, a 100-year-old Diamond Vine has only one and costs 50 spiritual stones, and a 300-year-old Diamond Vine costs 50 spiritual stones. Out of stock now. "

Zhang He's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he heard this. To refine a large net, one or two rattans are definitely not enough. If there are more of them, the cost will be frighteningly high.

"Show me a fifty-year-old diamond vine."

When the waiter heard this, he took a dry and yellowed long vine from the container and handed it to Zhang He.

Zhang He took the long vine. The dried vine was light golden in color and felt relatively pliable. He tried to pull it and it felt very strong.

According to his knowledge of weapon refining, this fifty-year-old diamond vine is extremely tough and can withstand great force impacts.

But when it comes to swords, the 50-year-old Vajra Vine is still a little weak and can easily be cut by sharp weapons.

As for the monks' fighting skills, most of them involve swords and the like. If the net is cast out, there will soon be a hole for people to get in and out.

It requires at least a diamond vine that is more than fifty years old, but the price and cost are too high.

For example, if fifty-year-old diamond vines are used to refine a mesh-shaped magic weapon, at least five of them will be needed, which will cost 60 spiritual stones.

If he casually configures it, he will need hundreds of networks, which will cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Even with his current financial resources, it is somewhat unaffordable.

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