The village infrastructure construction caused by heavy rain lasted for a whole month, rain or shine.
The villagers were enthusiastic and the soldiers worked hard without complaint - that was impossible.
Zhang Yang still remembers a sentence he read in a book, one cannot be so selfish that he thinks others are not selfish.
That's stupid.
So the day after the heavy rain ended, he announced that every villager household with four members or less would be allocated five acres of farmland as long as they got married, six acres for a family of five, and seven acres for a family of six. And so on.
For every person born, as long as they live to be 5 years old, one more acre of land will be granted. If one person dies, one acre will be taken away ten years from the date of death.
The rules for granting fields are a bit rough, but they are enough at this time.
So this immediately aroused the enthusiasm of all the villagers. Even if the fields they were allocated needed to be reclaimed by themselves, the ones that had been reclaimed belonged to the government.
Zhang Yang also took advantage of this enthusiasm and used all the last two hundred recruitment quotas in the village building order. Now he no longer expects to recruit elites specifically. What about the ordinary population? As long as they have enough food and clothing, as long as the village gives them enough With the protection of the people, the elite population will gradually increase.
In this way, in the end, even the old men, old women, and village women and girls volunteered to help, and the children came to help pick up stones. Can you not volunteer? Your family will have a share of the cultivated fields. This hope alone will make people happy. People are hardworking and full of motivation.
Since there are enough manpower to cultivate fields, Zhang Yangcai can dispatch a large number of craftsmen and soldiers to other construction, such as building more residential buildings, building roads, building dams, aqueducts, etc.
In just one month, the village has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The first is the overall area. With the castle as the center, 80% of the trees with a diameter of five kilometers have been cut down, forming a more open surface.
As for the remaining 20% of the trees, they are reserved for decoration of the village. There can't be even a shade tree in the village.
Then more than a thousand acres of farmland were reclaimed, and now nearly 800 acres have been distributed, and they are preparing to plant second crops such as corn and oilseeds. For this reason, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and consumed the last fragment of white hope.
But it was all worth it, because the day after the farmland was distributed, several pieces of information were reflected in Zhang Yang's eyes.
“Trigger special events in the village and activate village attributes—United as one (2/5).”
"United as One (2/5): Effect: All villagers' loyalty +15, prosperity +200, fights within the village reduced by 40%, incidents of inactivity and sabotage reduced by 40%, family conflicts reduced by 40%, marital conflicts reduced by 40%, The marriage rate increases by 40%. When encountering a small-scale enemy invasion, the villagers will have a higher chance of automatically organizing to fight back, and can obtain an additional 40 recruits."
“Trigger special events in the village and activate village attributes—tolerance is great (1/5)”
"Tolerance is great (1/5): The effect is that the villagers' resistance to foreign immigrants is reduced by 50%. When immigrants join the village, their loyalty will not decrease. The recognition of the village by foreign immigrants increases by 20%. And there will be a small chance of marriage with the original villagers."
"Congratulations, the villagers' loyalty has reached 90 (semi-fixed, it will not decrease or increase easily from now on, it will only change when encountering special events."
"Congratulations, the average loyalty of the villagers in your village has reached 80 points, the prosperity of the village has reached 1000 points, the livability index has reached 100 points, the villagers' fertility desire has increased by 20%, and triple childbirth has been enabled."
"Congratulations, because of the influence of the village attribute - United as One (2/5), 5 couples have reduced their dislike of each other and reduced the chance of quarrels. Their fate will change differently."
"Congratulations, because after experiencing two special village events (heavy rain rescue + field division), the free attribute points of elite population Wang Yunruo (female) increased from the original 12 points to 14 points; the free attribute points of elite population Zhang Wenyuan (male) Increased from the original 14 points to 16 points.”
"Congratulations, because after experiencing two special events in the village, the qualifications and experience of 16 ordinary children have improved and they are now outstanding."
"Congratulations, the village upgrade task has been triggered, (click to see the specific requirements)."
"The total population of the village has reached 1,000 (including soldiers). It has not been reached, and the current total population is 675."
"The villagers' loyalty reaches 80, it has been reached."
"The village prosperity level is 1500 points, which has not been reached. The current village prosperity level is 1250 points."
“The number of level 5 farmlands in the village has reached 200 (1,000 acres), which has been achieved.”
"Activating at least two village attributes has been achieved."
"Have a simple wall, not reached."
"If all the above conditions are met, the village will be upgraded to a town, and will receive an additional prosperity level of +300, and the two village attributes will be upgraded by one level each."
—
"Finally we can open the third child."
At this moment, Zhang Yang was extremely excited. Population is the cornerstone of future development, and as long as the population base increases, life is stable, and materials are abundant, then even the ordinary population will have the opportunity to become an elite population. This is a village, or even a small town. The core key to the town's continuation.
After secretly rejoicing for a while, Zhang Yang had to temporarily suspend the construction of newly reclaimed farmland and water conservancy facilities because it was about to be harvested. The 210 acres of farmland were planted 3 months ago, and now the green fields have long since changed. Into a golden color.
In order to prepare for the harvest, he made preparations in advance. Not only did he have the blacksmith shop make hundreds of sickles, but he also set up a temporary harvest team headed by Duan Kuan.
They are all quick swordsmen, oh, no, Wang Shen and his team of swordsmen have also been added.
At this time, patrolling and hunting monsters are not as important as harvesting.
They only need an auspicious day, that is, a time of clear weather, to harvest the wheat in the shortest possible time, and the grains must be returned to the warehouse.
For this reason, Zhang Yang specially asked Duan Kuan, Wang Shen and others to issue a military order. If you dare to waste, don't even think about eating the steaming spicy noodles. The uncle's chili can only be exchanged for a little bit.
In a blink of an eye, the day of harvest arrived. Sure enough, the weather was sunny and the sun was shining, making Zhang Yang's heart so bright.
The battle on the farmland side is even bigger.
Led by Qin Yidao, Liu Dali, Sun Goudan, and 21 captain-level archers holding big bows, they stared at the sky eagerly, not daring to let go of a bird.
Beside them, headed by Wu Yuan, Zhou Datou, Song Dachui, and 30 infantry captains, each with ten imprisonment spears, were equally murderous, as if possessed by a fierce god.
The purpose is only one, to protect this harvest that already has sacred significance.
Such solemnity and sanctity has also infected all the villagers, as well as those naughty children. They are following their mothers or grandmothers, watching with curiosity and envy. This scene in front of them may be imprinted on their future. life and continue to pass it on.
One hundred selected farmers and 40 selected harvest teams, like warriors about to go on an expedition, stand solemnly on the edge of the farmland, waiting for Zhang Yang to give the order, and then they will fight without hesitation - Well, it’s about harvesting bravely.
“The king puts the people first, and the people put food first—er, harvest!”
Zhang Yang originally wanted to say a few words, but he thought about it and forgot it. No matter how beautiful the words are, can they be compared to the golden wheat grains today? It’s all nonsense to say too much!
One hundred and forty people took action at the same time, the scene was quite spectacular, but the scene was different.
The one hundred farmers were trembling with fear, holding sickles in their hands, and those who harvested were very careful.
Duan Kuan and Wang Shen looked very sacred at first, but in a blink of an eye, they turned into a competition between long swords and big swords.
Duan Kuan was able to chop out 18 knives in one breath, and the wheat ears he cut were not damaged at all. They rose more than two meters high, and when they fell down, they were all put into his pocket, and he immediately showed a provocative look.
"218 consecutive cuts! Duan Laoer is so powerful!"
The swordsmen behind Duan Kuan cheered. The sword in Duan Kuan's hand was the most precious sword in the village and the fifth artifact, because there were also the jade longbow and Wu Yuan's heroic spear in the hands of the salted fish trio in front of them.
It's impossible to argue with them, but Wang Shen, a pretty boy, actually dares to provoke me. Oh, Master Duan, I've practiced before!
Wang Shen across from him just smiled slightly, which immediately caused a group of village girls and women outside the farmland to cheer softly. Wang Shen was the well-deserved second handsome guy in the village. As for why he was second, it was because the first place must go to the village chief. , No, it was kept by the lord.
Anyone who dares to disobey is waiting to be kicked violently.
Of course, if anyone dares to say that he is the most handsome guy in the village in front of Zhang Yang, then wait until he is kicked to the point of paralysis. Damn, I have thick eyebrows, big eyes, nine-pack abs, and a horse-racing arm. He is as strong as a mountain. , I have to call him Shuai Bancheng no matter what.
At this moment, Wang Shen's body flashed like a butterfly, with his sword flying and silver light shining in all directions. In an instant, the large field of wheat in front suddenly lost its head, and the wheat ears soared into the sky, like locusts, without any need for pockets. Go and pretend, those wheat ears actually fly into it automatically.
It's really beautiful to throw yourself into a trap.
"295 consecutive kills, Wang Laoer is so powerful!"
Cheers rang out, and Wang Shen's face darkened again and again. Who the hell gave him that nickname? Don't let me know!
"Hey, Wang Laoer is good at this!"
In the distance, Zhang Yang was sitting on a chair, commenting with Wu Yuan by the way. In fact, he just watched the excitement.
The corner of Wu Yuan's mouth twitched on the side, not wanting to comment. Wang Shen's strength is truly comparable to a one-star hero, and Duan Kuan is currently a quasi-hero. There is nothing to compare with. If you really want to compare, you have to live and die. battlefield.
"Village Chief, our food reserves are somewhat insufficient, even with the harvest of these 200 acres of farmland. According to Ren, in three and a half months, there will be a harsh winter, and we must prepare in advance."
