Although the Frostbite Town in Sheen-Forest was established last year, due to lack of time, not much farmland was cultivated, and naturally not a particularly large amount of food was grown.
It was only confirmed that potatoes, a new crop, could successfully grow on this barren land, and then ushered in a long and harsh winter.
The first winter in Shuanghan Town was spent through blood transfusions from his family. Forrest did not yet have an accurate understanding of the harsh environment of the northern plains.
With the arrival of the new year, more wasteland is reclaimed into farmland. Sheehan Forrester will soon learn that this barren land can only grow potatoes. The potatoes they brought from Iron Tree Fort
It is difficult for other crop seeds to survive and germinate on this land.
Moreover, there is no way to continuously grow potatoes that have not been optimized by the mysterious power. After two rounds of harvest, Sheehan Forrester will find that the crops produced in the fields are constantly decreasing, and there is no way to ensure that the frost town continues to grow.
Increased population consumption in one winter.
If the Forrester family doesn't transport enough supplies in the fall, Frost Town will be miserable this winter.
As for the villages around Winter Town? David is curious how many will be left after one winter?
"It turns out that the environment in this place was so bad before we arrived!" Listening to David's description, Laura had an intuitive understanding of the barrenness and desolation of this place for the first time. Before that, she had no idea about this plain.
The impression mainly comes from Winter Town.
The town under David's governance did not give her the slightest feeling of barren land. The farmland in Winter Town was quite productive. As Mark planted more and more crops, the types of agricultural products became more and more abundant. It is said that
The newly planted strawberries have sprouted successfully, and this year they can eat strawberries, grapes and other fruits produced in Winter Town.
"Speaking of agricultural products..." David wondered whether to grow cotton in Winter Town? Otherwise, would the entire town's clothes have to be imported through trade?
There were also silk fabrics. The environment in Winter Town might not be able to raise silkworms, but he could ask Squirtle to help solve this problem. He remembered that there was a spider-shaped Pokémon called Orb Silk Spider, which could spin a large amount of silk, and
The quality of spider silk is very good, and the world itself uses that kind of spider silk to make silk products.
After talking to Laura about these ideas, Laura agreed with David's idea, but the topic suddenly turned to another direction: "Then you can make the things you like in Winter Town, right?" "Ah? What are you talking about?"
"Man!" Laura looked like she had seen through everything: "I didn't choose those pairs of stockings, are you disappointed?"
"How could it be?" David shook his head: "Anyway, that kind of thing is easy to buy."
"Ha!" Laura laughed dryly, feeling quite speechless at David's reply: "I thought you weren't disappointed because of Eva!" David felt the alarm bells ringing in his heart, thinking about whether to
Start today’s game now?
"You must have eaten your little secretary dry in the past two days!"
"Huh?" David opened his mouth with a surprised expression of "Unjustly Accused~": "Why do you say that? The relationship between Eva and I is very innocent."
"Really?" Laura stared at David's face carefully. Based on her understanding of David, this man is very bad at hiding his true thoughts. The surprised expression on his face seemed to be a real reaction: "
Nothing really happened?"
"Of course!" Hearing David's decisive answer, Laura was confused: "I see that Eva has always been cheerful and contented these past two days, and I thought she finally succeeded!"
"..." David was speechless, Laura's words gave him a strange feeling.
"Speaking of which, I ran out for several days this time and you didn't even attack Eva. You wasted such a good opportunity!" Looking at Laura's funny look, David wondered if this woman did it on purpose.
Want to trick yourself?
Should he try hard to show off and prove his sincerity? However, David, who tried hard to express his sincerity, only got Laura's hoarse words in the end: "How about I hold down Eva's hand for you?"
"..." I made a cup of honey for Laura and fed her a large cup. After that, the two hugged each other and fell asleep: "Stop thinking about it and have a good rest!" Laura mumbled a few words, but it was unclear.
I couldn’t understand what was being said at all, and when I wanted to ask, Laura had already fallen asleep.
After resting for a night with Laura in his arms, David got up on time in high spirits the next day, leaving Laura to catch up on her sleep. David walked out of the cabin and went directly to find Squirtle.
Since helping David recruit a large group of Squirtles and several Eevee, in order to distinguish the original Squirtle, Laura prepared some equipment for this Squirtle.
Sunglasses and armbands have become the unique outfit of this Squirtle. David also made five stripes on the armbands in a playful way, which means the captain of all Pokémon in Winter Town.
However, the Pokémon Captain has been a little slack since then. David has not seen more Pokémon come to Winter Town, and Squirtle, in addition to showing up on time during meals every day, will be there every day.
Bask in the sun by the river, swim, and occasionally catch some aquatic products for yourself.
Therefore, in the morning, Squirtle might have been near the Winter River, and David walked directly to the Winter River after getting up.
"Huh? Mark? You got up so early today?"
"It's not that I got up early, it's that I didn't sleep last night." Mark seemed to be in good spirits, not like someone who stayed up all night.
"Isn't your daily routine very normal? What difficulties have you encountered?"
"It's not a problem, it's that I finally became a real shaman. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all." Mark was so excited all night in the house yesterday that he couldn't fall asleep even if he had nothing to do. He tossed and turned until the early morning, and then he simply got up.
.
"So...you are actually waiting for me here?"
"Yes!" Mark would appear in front of David because he wanted to share his joy with others. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to show off.
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you!" After becoming a real shaman, Mark has the qualification to use the power of elements. At the same time, the power of elements will strengthen Mark. In addition, Mark used the holy light injected by David to severely
He has been exercising for a while, so his physical fitness is now very strong.
Coupled with the various spells released by urging the power of elements, Mark will soon be able to surpass the limits of ordinary people and become an extraordinary being.
"Are you going to the Cold Winter River?"
"Well, I need to talk to Squirtle about something." Unless I emphasize it specifically, the Squirtle in everyone's mouth actually refers to the original one.
He told Mark that he wanted Squirtle to help find some orb silk spiders to come to Winter Town, and he also proposed a plan to grow cotton.
"I don't think planting cotton is an important thing." Mark thinks there is nothing wrong with David's idea. In comparison, David should consider another thing: "Have you considered Winter Town or even the future of Winter City?"
The layout?"
"Of course I have considered it." Ever since he discovered that Gold Finger was related to the territory, David had considered this issue more than once.
It's just that Winter Town hasn't been completed yet, so he's not in a hurry to tell everyone about his follow-up plans.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do now. Tell me, I'm quite curious." Mark looked around. The sky had just gotten slightly brighter, and the residents of Winter Town were already getting up one after another.
Watching residents line up to wash up, fetch water, and then prepare to have breakfast and start the day's work has become a daily routine for the residents of Winter Town.
Mark looked at this scene and began to wonder what Winter Town, or Winter City, would look like in the future.
At the very least, the scene of queuing up to wash up and fetch water should no longer be seen.
"I only have a rough plan in my mind, and the specific details have to be refined slowly."
"So..."
"With Winter Fortress as the center, I plan to have the agricultural area in the southwest." In David's current thinking, the farmland area will then develop southward, so that it is just southwest of Winter Fortress.
This area is close to water sources, the terrain is flat and vast enough, and it is most suitable for the development of agriculture. As for the residence of farmers, houses can be built around farmland areas, not far from the center of the town, and within the radiation of various water and electricity lines originally planned
Within the area.
"The southeast is the main residential area, the northwest is the commercial area, and the northeast is various institutions, military camps, etc." David's plan is just a rough division. During actual construction, even the southeast area designated as a residential area,
There will definitely be various shops inside.
"Sounds good." David then talked about more ideas, such as building various factories in the currently forested area to the north.
Among them, important factories such as the water plant need to be built as far upstream as possible. As for the scale and the products to be produced, only the northern military industry whose name has been determined is also planned to be arranged in the north to ensure that it can be protected by Winter City.
.
Wharfs, shipyards, etc. are being built on the banks of the Winter River in the west.
"If all the things you envisioned are built, this place will definitely not be able to continue to be called Winter Town." Mark imagined it in his mind according to David's description, and he couldn't wait to see the real thing as soon as possible.
"Of course it was already Winter City at that time." If we really want to reach the scale David expected, all the population in the northern plains would be gathered in Winter Town, which is far from enough.
"I have a question."
"What's the problem?"
"Although your plans for the future are very clear, and the current development of Winter Town is very stable and rapid." Mark paused for a moment before speaking out the question he wanted to ask: "But before that, don't you consider building a city wall?
?" David was stunned for a moment when he heard this question. He really hadn't thought about it.
"The city wall... If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it."
