Summoning Total War

Chapter 5 Cultivated Land (Part 1)!

"Ding assistant system data update-crop rotation reached."

When Murphy heard the sound of the "Total War" auxiliary system, it was already half a month later.

He fulfilled his promise and distributed part of the land to citizens after the victory. These lands are divided into three levels according to their status. The poor class is 5 mu per adult, and the citizen class is per adult. If it is a soldier, an additional mu of land will be allocated. Officials in the territory are currently divided into three poles, with land ranging from 100 acres to 500 acres. As for the generals, Murphy all divided them a thousand acres of land as a manor.

The measured acres used in the city of Athens are different from the past.

In Zhongtu, one square kilometer of land is 1,500 acres, but for the convenience of calculation, Murphy has expanded the amount of one acre to 1,000 square kilometers of 1,000 acres. That is 1.5 times larger than the mu of land in the Middle-earth period.

On average, there are about three to four adults in each family including fù women. In other words, each family can be allocated more than acres of land at least. The city of Athens currently has a population of about 7,000. After completing the land allocation, Murphy calculated a total of 100,000 mu of land, that is, square kilometers of land was allocated to the citizens of Athens. It accounts for about one-sixth of the total cultivated land area.

In fact, all the allocated land cannot be cultivated temporarily.

Because the irrigation ditches have not yet been completed, the land that is actually opened in the territory is about 50,000 mu. These lands are soils close to the Nedoría River, which are very féi and good for irrigation and so on. Half of the cultivated land is used to grow winter wheat, and the other half is used to grow other crops such as potatoes and rice. For now, due to land reclamation, the labor force in the territory is very insufficient.

Since September, half of the moat that has been dug in the city of Athens had to be temporarily suspended.

Because of the defeat of the Jackal, the human city-state built a fortress in the valley and set up a defense line. Murphy's territory is still very safe for the time being. So Murphy temporarily shifted the center of construction from defense to exhibition. He transferred all of the goblin slaves to the farmland, and these people would simply cultivate a little bit. As long as someone urged and taught them, two or three goblins could be worth an adult labor force.

The reason for this is simple. He wants to cultivate a part of the land before the month, and then plant winter wheat.

As long as the winter wheat can be planted and harvested until next year, even if the yield is really poor, 2 shi per acre, which is two hundred catties of grain per acre. Those 50,000 mu is also the amazing yield of Wanshi, enough for Murphy's territory to be self-sufficient and surplus within a year. In fact, Murphy really does not believe that his territory will fail. Because the land along the Nedoria River is very fertile, and the other priesthood of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is fertility

………………

-----------------------------

In the past half month, with the hard work of more than 5,000 adult laborers and nearly 20,000 goblins, the territory has finally completed the simplest reclamation.

That is, digging ditches, clearing the land, diverting water for irrigation, etc.

In terms of water conservancy, Murphy is currently arranging people to build waterwheels, water conservancy mills and so on. But it will take some time to create gods, and for the time being, we still have to rely on manpower to solve the problem.

Because of the goblin's hard work, Murphy drew water from a gentle tributary of the Nedoria River and dug a trench around this tributary.

Until today, the 50,000 mu of land has finally been initially completed.

"Crop rotation: crop rotation and basic land management techniques keep farm resources from depleting quickly. By cultivating different crops every year, let the land fallow or use it as a purpose, so that the productivity of the land can be slowly restored. Crop yield is thus obtained. Increasing production will also promote population growth. The use of slave labor will also help increase production. Because farmers will demand more agricultural products. When cities grow, this kind of agriculture can be upgraded.

Crop rotation and basic land management techniques will prevent farm resources from depleting quickly, and crop yields will therefore increase. (Crop yield +3

Crop rotation is improved on the premise of public farms.

That is, citizens of the entire city work together, use tools together, and distribute the gains. This can save resources such as manpower and tools.

Everything Murphy is doing now is working hard for the fourth level of farming in the "Total War" auxiliary system, which is-irrigation

His current idea is to first lay the foundation for irrigation.

In the future, as the city of Athens is upgraded to become a big city, there will be no need to consume too much manpower in farming.

In fact, in order to reclaim these lands, Murphy almost stopped most of the construction in the territory. Even a part of the Greek heavy infantry was arranged by him to go to work. All the effort is worth it, because after half a month waits for the cumbersome details such as irrigation and weeding of the farmland to be completed, crops such as winter wheat can be planted.

at dusk.

"Your Excellency, the harvest statistics are out." As soon as he returned to the Governor's Mansion, the clerk ran to Murphy's side.

Murphy nodded when he heard the words, and reached out to take the notebook and read it.

The yield of wheat is not very high. On average, one mu of land is only about two and a half shi, and out of the 2,000 mu of cultivated land originally reclaimed, the wheat has been harvested about 2,300 shi. This data is still within Murphy's acceptance range, after all, wheat production is inherently insufficient. And there is no féi in this world, just some primitive féi materials. Although Murphy has consciously built public toilets and raised pigs and beasts, etc., the effect of creating gods may not be too obvious for a while.

However, the yield of yù rice promoted by the elves in this world is not bad.

Counting the cultivation a month later, the average yield per mu is more than 500 catties

This is a very good yield in this era, it can be regarded as a good harvest

The nutritional value of yù rice is not as good as wheat, and it is not used as a staple food under normal circumstances. The main function of yù rice is to be used as feed, wine, etc. The stalks obtained from yù rice are good fuel and can also be used for filling. That is, like the middle soil, the stalks are laid under the netg after the rice is harvested. It will be much warmer in winter. It is said that yù rice poles can also be used to make paper, but as far as the current level of technology is concerned, it is not considered for the time being.

Although the nutritional value of yù rice is not as good as that of grains, in fact, in this era when materials are relatively poor, yù rice is also one of the main foods of the poor.

………………

-----------------------------

The trade within the territory is dominated by coal and high-quality timber, but now the slave trade has basically ceased.

Murphy had to think about finding another way out for trade.

The first thing he thought of was-wine

There are two main types of wine in this world, one is wine, which is oriented to the noble class. The other is ale, that is, low-grade beer, which is the mainstream consumption of ordinary poor people. There were people in this world who used yù rice to make wine, but it was not very popular.

Murphy knows how to make rice wine. Yeast is nothing more than using koji after cooking.

There is winemaking technology in this world, and it is not a problem to use yù rice to brew wine. Murphy can recruit people from the aborigines.

But the problem is that Murphy does not distill at all!

This is a rather embarrassing question.

As a congregation of the earth, Murphy has only learned about a simple distillation device in junior high school physics. But when it comes to winemaking, he has no idea what to do.

He is not a suitable person for technical research.

His strength is to control, to use the strengths of people

In fact, Murphy's intention was to try whether the aborigines of this world can accept shochu, which is a highly distilled spirit.

Ordinary poor people don't know if they like Murphy, but the barbarian humans and warriors in this world should like it very much.

Pure man, drink strong wine.

This kind of man who survived the **** slaughter would definitely like this kind of highly counted spirits. And another of Murphy's ideas is military use. He thought that the first use of distilled spirits was not to make money, but to use for medical disinfection. Holy water can also be disinfected, but the output is too low and it is not easy to preserve. In this primitive era, wound infection and ulceration are an important cause of death.

And if there is alcohol, the effect will be very obvious

This can save the lives of countless Athenian soldiers

"It's a pity that you can't build a temple of Bacchus. If there is a priest of Bacchus, you can probably figure it out how to distill, right?" Murphy turned his head and could only temporarily put this idea down.

He just knows a little bit of the simple principle of distillation, and if he really wants to do it, he has to recruit people to study it slowly.

And confidentiality is also very important

If distilled spirits can be produced ~www.readwn.com~, the territories will also be able to generate an extra trade income.

Murphy would not be so stupid to use grain to make wine.

Grain is an important strategic reserve resource. As we all know, wine consumes food very much. In ancient times, wine was once a luxury item and was only used for sacrifices. But if you use high-yield crops like yù rice to make wine, Murphy can accept it. After all, he does not intend to raise pigs and beasts in large-scale captivity, and the citizens of the territory will not use yù rice as a staple food.

Simply put, wine can bring a lot of income to the territory.

But a territory and a city-state can never grow strong because of wine, and Murphy never hopes that wine will be too important in the city of Athens, so that in the future the city is estimated to have a large number of alcoholics and idiots.

Even if he develops distilled liquor, he must strictly control it in his own hands.

Never allow citizens to make their own wine
