Chapter 137 Mining Farmers
Allen said in surprise: "My God, we halflings have been planting fields for so many years, and we don't know that we can plant like this!

Now the wild geese haven't come yet, and we have to wait for a while. I will let them catch frogs when I go back. We can eat frog meat in winter. "

Feng Yu quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't raise frogs in the fields poured with dung!"

Ilya and Jason couldn't hold back and laughed outright, Dick couldn't stop laughing.

Allen also smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Brother Darren, I guarantee you can eat clean frog meat, but some people have a hard time saying that."

As Allen said, he glanced at Dick maliciously, and Dick hurriedly begged for mercy. He was also afraid that he would eat the frog that had grown up in the cesspit.

Allen said: "I remembered, brother Darren, you said that your race is also a farming race. Do you have any other coups for farming? Let's talk about it together."

Feng Yu thought for a while and said: "When the snake vine grows, it can be raised high, and the livestock are raised below. Ordinary livestock can't reach the snake vine fruit, and their excrement can provide nutrition for the snake vine.

The snake vines also provide shade for livestock below and scare away birds that peck at the snake vine fruit.

It should be fine to raise chickens under cotton.As long as the two things complement each other and don't cause damage to each other, it's fine. "

Allen said sadly: "Brother Darren, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Feng Yu spread his hands and said, "Isn't that why I remembered it? I have eaten crabs and fish in the paddy fields. I remembered that kind of delicious food before I remembered it."

Feng Yu's words made everyone laugh.

Allen said: "I will teach this method to the tribe when I go back, so that we not only have fragrant snow rice, but also have more opportunities to eat meat and eggs in the future, which is really great.

By the way, the paddy field is already feasible, so who will plant it in the future? "

Feng Yu thought for a while and said, "The next step is to arrange for an engineering team to convert all the land that can be used to build paddy fields into paddy fields, and then build houses by the river.

Your clansmen will move to live by the river in the future, and you will plant the paddy fields.This is also convenient for fishing on the riverside, and you can also eat better and earn more income.

As for the empty sand fields and houses on your side, you can contact your clansmen or other halflings in the Obscure Moon Forest to cultivate and live there.

But it's not free, and a certain amount of grain must be used to offset the cost of farmland and houses every year.At that time, we can decide according to the situation of the farmland.

Do you think this arrangement is okay? "

How can Allen say that it is not possible? The labor in the paddy field is small, and the value of fragrant snow rice is high. In addition, according to Feng Yu, they can raise some other things to increase production and income. Where can I find such a good thing? go? !
Allen was a little embarrassed, and said, "But, is this good?"

Feng Yu said with a smile: "What's so good about it? The people in the camp used to eat the food of your Haimo clan, so what's the matter with giving you more rewards now?!"

Dick said: "That's right, why are you so hypocritical! If your Haimo clan doesn't plant good fields, does anyone else have the qualifications?"

Feng Yu said: "Brother Dick's words are right, so don't delay. I'm still embarrassed. The members of your Haimo clan have only settled down for half a year, and you will be forced to move again."

Just as Allen was about to say something, Dick said on the sidelines: "Okay, don't drag this matter back and forth. It's not a bad thing. Brother Darren has a serious business to call everyone here."

"Oh, yes, Brother Darren has something else to do, so tell me, Brother Darren."

Feng Yu said: "It's not about other things, it's about food. Now the number of workers in the camp has increased, plus soldiers and their families, this constitutes a large non-farming population.

But now our farming population is too small, even if many halfling brothers return to agricultural jobs, they are starting to be stretched.

Of course, the current food production in the camp is definitely enough for us to eat, but it is not enough for the dwarf kingdom to buy food from us.

I plan that we need to introduce at least three to five times more agricultural population than the current one, so as to ensure the food supply of the camp, and also have surplus food for the Snowtop Mountains and Obscure Moon Forest.

This quantity is the minimum quantity requirement. Of course, the more farmers the better, we now have steam pumps, and wood and fire bricks to build houses.

So I came to you today because I want to find a way in this regard.

The main thing is Brother Allen, because you half-lings are agricultural talents, so today I am mainly looking for you. "

Allen thought for a while and said, "It's hard to find people to come to the Great Wasteland now, because it's the best season in the Obscure Moon Forest, and you can't find many.

It’s best to wait for winter to come, and we’ll go to the market over there before the migration starts, saying that houses can be provided here for these migrants to live in, so I guess there will be many more people who are willing to come.

And another advantage is that the migrating halflings and elves all bring their own food, and we can also consume a lot less food.

I believe that the house designed by the Darren brothers, together with the twenty acres of fields with no shortage of water, should be able to retain a large part of the migrating halflings. "

Feng Yu said: "Our team cooperated with Mr. Anthony to clear up most of the threats near the camp, and the remaining beasts that slipped through the net did not dare to invade the crowded gathering area.

Coupled with our steam pump technology, the current Great Wasteland has the conditions for large-scale development, and it depends on whether anyone is willing to come.

Dick, don't you halflings grow any? "

Dick said: "Yes, why not, but there are very few. Those dwarves who are engaged in planting are generally small branches of large tribes. Most of them live in the southern end of the Snow Peak Mountain Range, which is the section across the river from our camp. in the mountains.

The food they grow is the largest source of food for our dwarf kingdom.

As for the rest, they generally focus on collecting food and hunting below the snow line of the Xueding Mountains, and basically do not engage in planting, because the Xueding Mountains are large enough, and the territory of each tribe is also large enough. Filling up.

Of course, except for small tribes like Copper Axe, their population is small, and every mature dwarf needs to run more in the mountains, and the chance of encountering danger is higher.

Like you said, it's a vicious cycle.That's why they need the kingdom's support. "

Feng Yu said: "The conditions on the Great Wasteland must be stronger than those in the slash-and-burn places like the Xueding Mountains. You can send someone back to ask them. It's good if they want to come and farm."

Dick's eyes lit up, and he said, "Can it work?"
