Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 184 Planting Grass in the Sky Island
Early the next morning, after having breakfast at the construction site of the small village in the north, Qu Mao went directly to the waterfall of the Li River, and took a shuttle boat down the river to the village. The village head, Jia Chongde, exchanged the situation, and Qu Mao directly summoned a sea boat to go to Sky Island.

At about 10:30 in the morning, Qu Mao came to Sky Island, and found Franklin Jin, the island owner, and Wang Mao, the new head of Yi Village.

Qu Mao said straight to the point: "Island owner Franklin and village head Wang Mao, I plan to plant grass on the empty island. In the future, the war horses in Yi Village's territory will be fed and bred from the empty island."

Franklin King looked at Qu Mao in astonishment, and said after a while: "My lord, most of the empty island is rocky, with little soil, and there is no fresh water source, and the survival rate of planting grass is very low.

In the future, even if the horses are raised on an empty island for the time being, it will definitely not work without fresh water. Should we go further south to find a more suitable island? "

Qu Mao shook his head, sighed, and said, "Master Franklin, I understand what you said.

However, Master Su Yan suggested that I come to the empty island to plant grass. Yesterday, I communicated with Master Kong Ming at the construction site of the small village in the north of the outlying island. Master Kong also suggested that I come to the empty island to plant grass, so I came here.

Forget about it, I purchased a lot of pasture seeds from Yancheng, let's do a grass planting experiment on Sky Island first.

To develop a new island, the economy and resource strength are not enough, and the difficulty of defense will be greatly increased. This method is definitely not an option in the short term.

Let's try planting a little pasture on Sky Island first, what if there will be fresh water in the future?Or after the pasture is planted, can the pasture hold fresh water? "

Village Chief Wang Mao said: "Since your lord said so, I feel that the abandoned quarry opened at the civilian wharf or the abandoned quarry outside Yicun can be used. After all, although it is abandoned, there are still some broken pieces. of stone and stone powder.

At the same time, the abandoned quarry also has traces of human survival, such as some excrement, which can barely sow pasture seeds. "

Franklin King thought over and over again, and said: "My lord, there is already a certain degree of clean water in the reservoirs and ditches in the folding space, but the mud at the bottom still needs to be cleaned regularly, so we didn't drink it directly, but in the future, the war horses will drink it. It shouldn't be too big..."

Qu Mao interrupted Franklin King with a slap on his thigh, and said, "Yes, mud!
The cleared silt is piled up in the folding space. Even if it is lit on a bonfire and roasted, the drying speed will be relatively slow. It is better to clean it up and transport it directly to the abandoned quarry as a base fertilizer for pasture.

Moreover, the sludge to be cleaned must be stacked in the folding space, and a special place must be reserved for the sludge, which is not conducive to us to reclaim a large amount of cultivated land in the folding space.

With the silt moving out of the folding space, at least our first wave of pasture seed didn't require additional watering. "

Franklin Jin and Wang Mao looked at each other. After a long time, Wang Maocai said, "My lord, you don't know the mud in the folding space. You need a bucket to move it out of the folding space. It's too thin."

Qu Mao took out the small trolley from his backpack and said, "The moisture contained in the silt in the folding space is also fresh water. In the future, we can also dig a reservoir on the surface of the empty island to store fresh water when it rains.

As for how to move the mud out of the folding space, try this.

This is a new tool I invented yesterday at the construction site of Beixiang Village. Village Chief Wang Mao asked the villagers to test it in the folding space. "

Franklin Jin and Wang Mao watched carefully around the small cart that Qu Mao took out. The tight-fitting wooden boards blocked the surroundings of the bottom board, and the wooden boards on the bottom of the bottom board were joined together even more tightly.

Franklin King said in surprise: "My lord, maybe this tool can really move out the silt with less waste."

Qu Mao said: "First, arrange the leaders to try dredging in the folding space, and then dump it in the abandoned quarry outside Yi Village. Our focus at this stage is to experiment with planting grass.

If feasible, the scale of planting can be expanded in the future, and subsequent improvement methods must also be designed according to the experimental results. "

Franklin King said: "Okay, my lord, my subordinates will arrange it immediately. There should be results before lunch."

By the time they had lunch, the leaders had already rolled out five carts of silt from the folding space, covering the entire area of ​​about 64 square meters in an abandoned quarry with a thin layer of silt. The silt is too thin, so this layer of silt Spread very thinly.

However, because of this suggestion, the cheating system rewarded Qu Mao with 20 cheating points, although the silt piled up in the abandoned quarry continued to spread.

Qu Mao took out the pasture seeds, frowned and said: "Village Chief Wang Mao, arrange a few leaders to build a fence a few centimeters high with crushed stones around the abandoned quarry, although it can't completely prevent the silt from spreading, How many different can be blocked a little bit."

After sprinkling two handfuls of grass seeds on the mud in the middle of the abandoned quarry, Qu Mao handed the grass seeds in his hand to Franklin King, took out ten bags of grass seeds from his backpack, and said, "Master Franklin, you Arrange to plant it.

This kind of small cart tool, next time I go back to the outlying island, I will arrange the wood workshop over there to produce ten sets for the empty island. "

Franklin King nodded, took out one-third of a bag of seeds, and sprinkled them evenly on the mud. The degree of fineness was many times higher than that of Qu Mao.

"My lord, even if this experiment is successful, it may take several years for the empty island to be filled with pastures. Your idea of ​​immediately breeding war horses may not be realized soon." Franklin Jin said to Qu Mao.

Qu Mao smiled and said: "Don't worry, plan ahead, let's plan according to three years.

Three years later, I think it will be pretty good if two-thirds of the area of ​​Sky Island can be planted with grass.

After five years, we will consider the stocking and breeding of war horses. Of course, after five years of development, we must have enough energy and strength to develop other islands to breed war horses except Sky Island. "

Franklin King said with a wry smile: "My lord, there is basically no fresh water on the barren islands, and the islands with fresh water are basically covered by tall trees. Any island may need to be redeveloped."

Wang Mao said: "My lord, I still think that finding a place to dig a reservoir to store rainwater can also solve the problem of fresh water sources."

Qu Mao said: "It can be considered, besides, the empty island is not without fresh water, there will be some differences in the folding space.

In this way, using the terrain to excavate the reservoir, and using the fresh water in the folded space to complete the pasture planting and watering for the experiment in the early stage, it will take three to five years, and I still don't believe it can be done. "
