Chapter 85 Harvest
This village infrastructure caused by heavy rain lasted for a whole month, like the kind that was stormy and rainy.
The villagers were enthusiastic, and it was impossible for the soldiers to work hard.
Zhang Yang still remembers a sentence he saw in a book that a person cannot be selfish enough to think that others are not selfish.
That's stupid.
So the day after the heavy rain, he announced that every household of villagers, a family of four or less, would be divided into five acres of farmland, six acres of family of five, seven acres of family of six, and so on.
For every person born, as long as he can live to the age of 5, he will be given one more acre of land. If one person dies, he will be withdrawn ten years from the date of death.
The rules for teaching fields are a bit rough, but this is enough at this time.
So this immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of all the villagers. Even if the fields they allocated need to be reclaimed by themselves, the fields that have been reclaimed belong to the official fields.
Zhang Yang also took advantage of this enthusiasm to use the last 200 recruitment quotas from the village construction order. He no longer hopes to recruit elite populations specifically. So what about the ordinary population? As long as the food and clothing are abundant, as long as the village gives them enough shelter, the elite population will gradually increase.
In this way, in the end, even the old men, women and girls volunteered to help, and the children came to help pick up stones. How could they not be willing to do so? The land they reclaimed will have their own share. This hope alone will make people work hard and full of motivation.
Because there are enough staff to reclaim fields, Zhang Yang can dispatch a large number of craftsmen and soldiers to other constructions, such as building more houses, building roads, building embankments, diversion canals, etc.
In just one month, the changes in the village have been earth-shaking.
First of all, 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 wider surface.
As for the remaining 20% of the trees, they are left as decorations for the village. There is no need to have no shade in the village.
Then more than 1,000 acres of farmland have been reclaimed, and nearly 800 acres have been distributed, and second-season crops such as corn and oil are ready to be planted. For this reason, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and consumed the last white fragment of hope.
But this is all worth it, because the day after the farmland is distributed, several pieces of information are reflected in Zhang Yang's eyes.
"Trigger special events in the village and activate the village attributes to unite (2/5)."
"United to the whole world (2/5): Effect, the loyalty of the villagers is +15, the prosperity is +200, the internal fighting and fighting events in the village are reduced by 40%, the passive slacking events are reduced by 40%, the family conflicts are reduced by 40%, the couple conflicts are reduced by 40%, and the marriage rate is increased by 40%. When small-scale enemies invade, the villagers will have a higher chance to automatically organize and counter-trap, and they can obtain an additional 40 recruitment quota."
"Triggers special events in the village and activates the village attributes to be tolerant (1/5)"
"It is great to have tolerance (1/5): The effect is that villagers' rejection and resistance to foreign immigrants is reduced by 50%. When foreign immigrants join the village, their loyalty will not decrease. Foreign immigrants' recognition of the village increases by 20%, and there will be a small chance to marry the indigenous villagers."
"Congratulations, the loyalty of villagers has reached 90 (semi-fixed, and it will not decrease or increase easily from now on. Only when encountering special events will change."
"Congratulations, the average loyalty of your village villagers reached 80 points, the prosperity of your village reached 1,000 points, the livability index reached 100 points, the villagers' fertility desire increased by 20%, and the third childbirth was started."
"Congratulations, due to the influence of the village attributes unity (2/5), five couples have reduced their disgust towards each other and reduced their chances of quarrel, and their fate will change differently."
"Congratulations, because of two special village events throughout the whole process (storm rescue + land distribution), the free attribute point of the elite population Wang Yunruo (female) increased from the original 12 points to 14 points; the free attribute point of the elite population Zhang Wenyuan (male) increased from the original 14 points to 16 points."
"Congratulations, because I experienced two special village events throughout the whole process, the qualifications and experience of 16 ordinary children have improved, and I am currently an outstanding population."
"Congratulations, triggering the village upgrade task (click to view 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 has reached 80, and it has reached it."
"The village prosperity is 1,500 points, but it has not been reached. The village prosperity is currently 1,250 points."
"The number of farmland in the village level 5 has reached a mu," he said.
"Activate at least two village attributes, which have been achieved."
"Have a simple city wall, not reached."
"All the above conditions have been met, the village will be upgraded to a small town, and the additional prosperity +300 will be rewarded with the improvement of the attributes of the two villages by level."
"We can finally open our third child."
Zhang Yang was very excited at this moment. Population is the cornerstone of future development. And as long as the population base is increased, life is stable and materially rich, even ordinary people have the opportunity to become an elite population. This is the core key to the ability of a village or even a small town to continue.
After being secretly happy for a while, Zhang Yang had to temporarily interrupt the construction of newly reclaimed farmland and water conservancy facilities because he was about to harvest. The 210 acres of farmland were planted three months ago, and now the verdant fields have long turned into golden.
In order to prepare for the harvest, he made preparations in advance. Not only did he ask the blacksmith shop to create hundreds of sickles, but he also set up a temporary harvesting team led by Duan Kuan.
They were all quick-knife hands, oh, no, and Wang Shen and his swordsman team were also joined.
At this time, no matter how patrols or hunting monsters are, they are not as important as harvesting.
It only takes a good eclipse day, that is, when the weather is clear, they need to harvest the wheat back in the shortest time, and they must also return the grains to the warehouse.
For this reason, Zhang Yang also specially asked Duan Kuan, Wang Shen and others to issue military orders. If you dare to waste it, don’t think about eating the steaming spicy noodles. The old man’s chili peppers were exchanged for a little bit.
In a blink of an eye, the harvest day has arrived. It turns out that the weather is clear and the sun is shining, making Zhang Yang's heart so bright.
And the situation on the farmland is so big.
Leading by Qin Yidao, Liu Dali, Sun Goudan, and 21 captain-level archers holding large bows, staring at the sky and staring at it, not daring to let a bird go.
Beside them were Wu Yuan, Zhou Datou, Song Dachui, and 30 infantry captains, each with ten confinement spears, and they were also full of murderous aura, just like a possessed by a ferocious god.
The purpose is only one, to protect this harvest that has already had sacred significance.
Such solemn and sacredness also infected all the villagers, as well as those naughty children, who followed their mothers, grandmothers and grandmothers, and watched curiously and enviously. This scene in front of them will probably be imprinted on their future lives and will continue to be passed on.
One hundred selected farmers and 40 selected harvesting teams were like warriors about to set out, standing solemnly by the farmland, waiting for Zhang Yang to give him a command, and then they would fight bravely and fight bravely, and be brave to harvest.
"The king takes the people as the basis, and the people take food as the heaven, and harvest!"
Zhang Yang originally wanted to say a few words, but after thinking about it, he would just forget it. No matter how beautiful the words are, they can compare to the yellow wheat grains today? It’s nonsense if you say too much!
One hundred and forty people were fighting at the same time, and the scene was quite spectacular, but the scene was different.
The hundred farmers were trembling with a sickle in their hands, and they were harvesting so carefully.
Duan Kuan and Wang Shen were still very sacred at first, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a competitive competition between long swords and great swords.
Duan Kuan could cut out 18 knife flowers in one breath, and the cut wheat ears did not hurt at all. They rose more than two meters high. After falling, they were packed into their pockets without leaving any left, and then immediately showed a provocative look.
"218 consecutive beheadings! Duan Laoer is mighty!"
The long sword hands behind Duan Kuan cheered. The sword in Duan Kuan's hand was the first treasure sword and the fifth artifact in the village, because there were the Yuhua Longbow in the hands of the Salt Fish Trio and Wu Yuan's hero spear in front of it.
I can’t compete with them, but Wang Shen, a young man, dares to provoke. Tsk, I have practiced Duan!
Wang Shen on the opposite side just smiled slightly, which immediately caused a group of villagers outside the farmland to cheer. Wang Shen is the well-deserved second handsome guy in the village. As for why he is second, it is because the first one must be given to the village chief, no, it was kept by the lord.
If anyone dares to refuse, just wait for the storm to be kicked.
Of course, if anyone dares to say that he is the most handsome guy in the village in front of Zhang Yang, then wait for the kick to be hemiplegic. Damn, I have thick eyebrows, big eyes, nine-pack abs, and horse racing on my arms. I have to be called handsome half-city.
At this moment, Wang Shen flashed like a butterfly, a big sword flying, and silver light shone everywhere. In an instant, a large area of wheat in front suddenly lost its head, and the ears soared into the sky, like locusts, without having to put them in their pockets, and the ears flew into it automatically.
This move is really beautiful.
"295 consecutive beheadings, Wang Lao Er is mighty!"
Cheers sounded, Wang Shen's face turned black and black. Who gave him the nickname? Don't let me know!
"Hey, Wang Laoer is good at this!"
In the distance, Zhang Yang sat on a chair and commented with Wu Yuan. In fact, he would watch the fun.
Wu Yuan, who was standing beside him, twitching, and he didn't want to comment. Wang Shen's strength is really comparable to a one-star hero, and Duan Kuan is currently a quasi-hero. What's the point of comparison? If you really want to compare, you have to go to the battlefield of life and death.
