Once the land is cleared, crops must be planted immediately.
The amount of seeds required for 210 acres of land was not a small amount. Zhang Yang couldn't wait for the wheat from the previous ten acres to mature, so he gritted his teeth and took out the white fragment of hope that he had dropped when he killed the deer demon.
This thing is very precious, you can tell by looking at its attribute description.
"Hope fragments, white quality, are one of the main materials for making resurrection potions."
Under other circumstances, Zhang Yang would not be willing to use it even if he was killed, but now he is really willing to risk it for the rapid development of the village.
But how to use the white-quality hope fragments is really difficult. After all, this thing cannot be taken apart.
In the end, Zhang Yang thought about it for a long time and said as carefully as if he were studying spells:
"I want enough seeds for various crops and vegetables needed for 210 acres of farmland."
He could only do this. The next second, the white quality hope fragments did not burn immediately, but turned into various lights and shadows. Three seconds later, a large number of seeds appeared in front of Zhang Yang.
In just these few seconds, he was so anxious and nervous that he was covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, this white quality fragment of hope was quite powerful.
After careful inspection, there are many types of seeds, including 50 acres of corn seeds, 50 acres of wheat seeds, 50 acres of rice seeds, 20 acres of potato seeds, 10 acres of peanut seeds, 10 acres of fruit trees, 10 acres of sugar beet seeds, and finally 10 acres of seeds. Acres are various vegetable seeds.
Pretty much what he was thinking at the time.
With a sigh of relief, Zhang Yang finally understood that the wish made by the hope fragment did not have to be expressed in one sentence. In fact, as long as the quality of the wish fragment was high enough, it would be no problem even if it lasted a hundred sentences.
Once he had the seeds, Zhang Yang quickly arranged for people to plant them. They would be harvested twice a year, so he couldn't miss the season.
Fortunately, with these seeds, as long as nothing unexpected happens in the future, the output of these lands will be enough to meet the needs of the village, and at the same time, they can be reserved as seeds for continued development.
Due to the importance of these 220 acres of farmland, Zhang Yang ordered Wu Yuan to send people to build strong log walls around the farmland, and at the same time set up a small patrol team for daily patrols.
After dealing with all this, he continued to devote himself to the great cause of rubbing wooden spears.
This process lasted another five days, and so far he had produced 100 spears of imprisonment in a row, all of which were medium-grade magical weapons, and distributed them all to 42 infantry captains.
It was also at this time that the second 3-family residence was officially built, with village prosperity +5 and villager loyalty +2. At this point, among the third generation residents, except for the 8 bachelors, the rest have all moved into their new homes and will continue to live there. In the next few months, or at most next year, a new batch of fourth-generation babies will be born.
If you are lucky, the livability index of the village will reach 20, and a batch of third-generation babies will be born.
"Zhang Chunlei, Wang Qiuyu, Chu Beifeng! You three performed well! Therefore, each of you will be rewarded with one acre of farmland."
Standing in front of the new level 3 residential building, Zhang Yang was very happy and did not hesitate to praise them. These three craftsmen were the ones who performed best while studying with instructor Qin Ge.
Five days ago, their proficiency in the secondary skill building construction/repair had reached 75, 70, and 65 points.
But now five days later, after the three of them personally presided over the construction of a level 3 residential house, their respective proficiency levels have soared to 145, 140, and 135 points.
So Zhang Yang simply asked them to build another residential house. As long as their proficiency reached 200 points, they could build a castle.
Next, he went to see the craftsmen who made crossbows. As expected, within five days, three more craftsmen stood out.
The proficiency of the secondary skill crossbow production/repair has been increased from the original 10 points to 65, 60, and 55 respectively.
The proficiency improvement of other craftsmen is still between 10 and 15 points.
However, there is one craftsman who is an exception, and that is Zhao Tiezhu. He was recruited by Zhang Yang using the last and most precious recruitment quota in the village building order.
His performance wasn't amazing, but it was stable.
When he built level 3 residential buildings before, his secondary skill building construction/repair only increased his proficiency by 25 points, which was higher than the average and lower than the best three, which was 45 points.
In the past five days, his secondary skill crossbow production/repair has actually increased his proficiency by 25 points, which is higher than the average level and lower than the best three, currently at 45 points.
However, since craftsmen have main skills and secondary skills, the proficiency of both secondary skills must be increased by 5 points before the main skill proficiency can be increased by 1 point.
Therefore, although Zhao Tiezhu is not the best in the two secondary skills of building construction/repair or bow production/repair, his main skill proficiency is the highest among all craftsmen, at 59 points. .
It should be noted that this main skill has a chance to create items with attributes.
This is interesting.
So Zhang Yang thought about it and asked Zhao Tiezhu and the remaining 12 craftsmen to go to the quarry to excavate the stone. Now that all the infantry captains were equipped with two or three imprisonment spears, they had enough force to go eight kilometers away. The quarry was mined outside.
This mining team will be very luxurious. Wu Yuan will lead it personally. There will be ten archer captains, ten spearman captains, and ten shield troop captains. They will leave at sunrise and return at sunset. They can mine about 50 units of stone every day. This is a necessary material for building a castle.
As for the Brutal Bear Four, Qin Yidao, Liu Dali and other remaining 35 captain-level soldiers are responsible for staying in their hometowns and protecting farmland and residents.
This is necessary. Although ordinary little monsters did not dare to approach during this period, and the monsters that came occasionally were killed immediately, Zhang Yang was still very uneasy. He always felt that this kind of comfortable development There must be a critical point in the state.
And it turned out that his concerns were correct.
On the morning of the fourth day after quarrying, when the mining team was about to set off, a woman's high-pitched scream sounded in the fifth-level residence, which then attracted more people's screams, as if something terrible had happened. .
Zhang Yang was so frightened that he ran over and saw that Wu Yuan and others had arrived, but their expressions were a little strange and ugly.
"what happened?"
Zhang Yang was relieved at first, as long as it wasn't an invasion by foreign enemies.
"Village Chief, a villager died, and his death was a little strange."
Wu Yuan whispered.
Zhang Yang was stunned. When he entered the room of the deceased, the first thing he smelled was the strong smell of blood, and then he saw the deceased lying on the bed, as if asleep, with a weird smile on his lips, but His body turned into a scarecrow.
This was a second-generation resident who was a craftsman by profession. Yesterday he followed Wu Yuan and the others to excavate stonework, but he died today. His wife had been sleeping with him last night and did not hear anything unusual, but When I woke up this morning, I discovered this strange scene.
"Who was on patrol last night?"
Zhang Yang exited the room, already having a judgment in his mind, but he still asked.
"It's Zhou Datou and I. We are divided into two groups, a group of five people, two archer captains and three infantry captains. The focus of the patrol is on these two residential buildings and farmland. After all, there is no need to patrol too frequently in the fortress. , but I swear, everything was normal in this residence last night, and I didn’t even smell the smell of blood. It wasn’t until early this morning that the bloody smell of the corpses came out as if the floodgates had been opened.”
Duan Kuan outside the door looked solemn and confused at the same time, because with his strength, it would be impossible for the murderer to kill someone without his perception.
Zhang Yang nodded, opened the village founding order, and summoned the ghost priest.
"How do you explain this? Don't tell me you fell asleep last night. You must know that you are less than 200 meters away from the incident!"
"Reporting to the village chief, this matter really has nothing to do with me. This is the situation at the Shanshen Temple. The villager Yu Dazhuang spat at the Shanshen Temple yesterday, which triggered this matter. I don't know how specific it is. It’s clear, but if you don’t agree with this, I will catch this evil spirit immediately.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang understood that the mountain temple he had built before was now beginning to work. After all, this was a fantasy world. Faith was not toilet paper. You could use it whenever you wanted and throw it away whenever you wanted.
And if he wants to continue to let this faith develop, he cannot interfere forcefully.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yang said:
"You can just watch this matter. As long as the evil ghost stops killing people, don't interfere. The focus should still be on outside the village. I don't want any more enemy ghosts to get close and peep."
