Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 392: Sky Island Development
On the morning of February 2th in the third year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and 25 fourth-tier guards had breakfast in Fulou Village. Under the arrangement of Lin Kaifeng, the head of Fulou Village, and the person in charge of the shipyard, they took a 20 A shuttle boat, employing a total of 2 sailors to row the boat.

After leaving the shipyard, they rowed along the coastline to the civilian pier outside Nanli Village, and then rowed towards Sky Island. After passing through the strait between the Island and Sky Island, two shuttle boats came Moor at the civilian pier on Sky Island.

Lin Kaifeng had obviously contacted Su Qiaoer, so just as Qu Mao's shuttle boat was berthed, Meng De, Zhao Pan, Su Qiaoer, Franklin Jin and Wang Mao were all waiting for Qu Mao on the empty island civilian pier.

Sky Island Civil Wharf has now built three civilian wharves, the one in the middle has been upgraded to the first-level civilian wharf, and the middle one is also the earliest civilian wharf built in Sky Island.

The civilian pier on the north side is currently being upgraded, and the civilian pier on the south side is still a zero-level civilian pier. On the wooden trestle of the first-level civilian pier in the middle, Qu Mao asked: "Su Qiaoer, before Jiaxu came to take over the space Will the construction of Miao Village and Gang Village be completed before the island's domestic governor?"

Su Qiaoer said: "My lord, don't worry, the infrastructure construction of Miao Village and Gang Village can almost be completed, and the villagers can even be resettled properly.

In Miao Village, the main buildings of the village have been constructed, and the reservoirs used to develop the fishery have basically been excavated, but they have not yet been filled with water. "

Meng De said: "My lord, what Master Su Qiaoer said is that some fish ponds have been dug. According to the plan of my subordinates, more fish ponds will be developed in Miao Village in the future, but this is not a short-term matter.

The development of Sky Island's fishery may not be so fast, although the owner of Franklin Island has brought back a large number of freshwater fish from Yi Island and outlying islands and temporarily stocked them in other water reservoirs on Sky Island.

Miao Village's fishery development will most likely have to wait until the next rainy season comes. "

Qu Mao nodded and said, "That's very good. The reservoir in Miao Village can't wait for the rainy season or the rain. If it doesn't work, you can get water from the reservoir and ditches in the folding space of Yicun. The boat went to the outlying islands to fetch water and developed early.

The reservoirs in Miao Village are generally relatively deep, with a water depth of more than one meter. I think the fish can be raised first. In the future, there will be more fish, and the silt can be taken from the reservoir to continue to expand the artificial soil of the empty island. range. "

Su Qiaoer said: "My lord, there are not many seagoing ships at the civilian docks of the empty island, especially now that the development of the outlying islands is getting better and better, and the value of the civilian docks of the empty island is getting higher and higher. low.

Therefore, at present, the port village only builds the interior hall, five-story building, inn, medical room, granary and material warehouse. There are two rows of shops that have not yet opened, and no other considerations and developments have been made for the time being.

On the contrary, the entire empty island has a relatively large population in Yicun, because more and more arable land has been reclaimed in the two folded spaces. Apart from the resource mines in the folded space, the main population of the different villages are farmers who are responsible for cultivating the cultivated land in the folded space. . "

Qu Mao asked: "Franklin, how much arable land has been reclaimed in the two folding spaces?"

Franklin King said: "My lord, 3.5 units of arable land have been reclaimed in the two folding spaces. Currently, the farming skills of the leaders of different villages are not bad, so only 1500 people are assigned to be responsible for farming.

With the improvement of the farming skills of the people, if the cultivated land is not continued, only about 1000 people will be needed in the future. "

Wang Mao said: "My lord, there are more than 1800 residents in Yicun of Kongdao, including 1500 farmers, and more than 200 leaders who are on duty in the production resource mine. The remaining 100 leaders are mainly various Technical personnel for functional buildings. The zero-level militiamen are all selected from farmers, but the first-level and second-level fighters are on duty in different villages, and the subordinates have not counted the population of the different villages.”

Qu Mao said: "Well, the entire territory is currently dealing with a large number of prisoners of war brought by the second batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. .

At present, I think that a large number of prisoners of war can be recruited to free people to plant pasture on the empty island. Zhao Pan has brought cavalry over, but the pasture on the empty island is not enough for the horses to eat by themselves. "

Zhao Pan said: "My lord, my subordinates only brought over 40 cavalrymen, and the fifth-rank bison knights had been waiting in Sky Island for a long time.

At present, there is already a lot of pasture on the empty island, but the owner of the island does not allow the mount to directly use the pasture on the empty island, which is a pity for the subordinates.

After the number of our own war horses is cultivated in the future, my subordinates really hope that we can have a cavalry army, just like the magic army you established in Yi Village, my lord, there must be at least 100 light cavalry, 100 heavy cavalry, and bison knights Regardless of what, there are at least 200 cavalry, and it can be a bit of a charge when it charges. "

Qu Mao glared at Zhao Pan, and said, "The horses are not allowed to eat the pasture because the pasture planted on the empty island is not deeply rooted, and once the horse eats it, the pasture will be uprooted, and all the pasture planted in front will be wasted. "

Meng De said: "My lord, the experiment of planting pasture on artificial soil, Sky Island has not been relaxed, but the rainy season has not come, and the results of planting pasture experiment are very limited.

At present, the owner of Franklin Island and the village head of Wang Mao have used gravel to pile up no less than 2 square meters of artificial soil on the empty island, with a total of 10 places.When the rainy season comes, we sprinkle the mixture of plant ash, silt and grass seeds on the artificial soil made of gravel, and another rain will increase the effective planting area of ​​grass by [-] square meters.

Today's artificial soil pastures and pastures planted without considering the depth of pasture rooting in the past can cover almost 60% of the entire island of Sky Island.

Counting the area of ​​the village on the empty island and the area of ​​the reservoir, less than 20% of the area that needs to be planted on the empty island is now, but many pastures that are not deeply rooted may need to be replanted. "

Qu Mao said: "The three-year period of Tianxuan is coming to an end in February, and in March I hope that the breeding of stallions and mares will proceed as scheduled.

And Tianxuan Sky Island must take effective measures to expand the pasture planting area to 80% of the island's area.Previously planted pastures can also be directly covered with fist-sized crushed stones in batches to artificially increase the rooting depth of the pastures. As long as the pastures are not dead, there is basically no need to completely cover and replant them.

As for the Cavalry Legion, it will definitely be built in the future, but before the end of the four years of Tianxuan, I guess it will be impossible. "

Several people who picked up the boat nodded in agreement.
