Follow the prompts and walk three miles due north of the courtyard to find the small stream.
Zong Shen rode an old traveling horse and moved forward at a constant speed. It only took him 6 or 7 minutes to see the stream.
Although it is called a small stream, the entire stream is about one foot wide. The water flow is somewhat rapid, but the water level is not deep.
Zong Shen dismounted and came to the stream.
The stream water is very clear. Because it is living water, it is not turbid. You can clearly see the pebbles at the bottom of the stream.
He raised his head and looked upstream along the stream.
I found that this stream flows from the mountain forest far away in the north.
It flows meandering from north to southwest.
Thinking of the system once prompting that there is a lake in the southwest, I thought that this stream should be one of the water sources of that lake.
Zong Shen was actually not surprised at all that there was a water source nearby.
After all, if there was a lack of water here, it would never be possible to form such a large piece of lush grassland.
Moreover, Zong Shen discovered when he was digging that the soil here was extremely fertile black soil.
Relatively moist and quite sticky.
According to the earth.
That is the homogeneous humus soil formed under the conditions of grassland meadow vegetation in a temperate humid climate.
The organic matter of this kind of soil is about 3% to 10%, which is extremely fertile.
As long as there is no desertification of the land and barren pastures, there will be no water shortage.
This is a common sense judgment.
However, those lords who landed in the Gobi and desert areas were in trouble.
I just don’t know if there will be some balance compensation.
Many settings of Lord Survival are quite fair.
Zong Shen stood by the stream. Instead of rushing to fetch water, he began to think about the relationship between environment and survival.
Then, with a move of his hand, he took out the three wooden barrels he had made before and placed them next to him.
He knelt down, reached out and picked up a handful of water, and took a sip.
The water quality is very sweet and has no peculiar smell.
Obviously this is a stream that flows from mountain springs and flows into the pasture.
After continuous washing and purification of pebbles, the water quality is very good.
He looked intently at the water.
(The water flowing from springs high in the mountains is rich in various minerals and of good quality, but it is still recommended that you boil it before drinking)
After checking the strategy tips and confirming that they were correct, Zong Shen started filling the water.
Fill the three buckets one after another and store them in the portable storage compartment.
Just let the old traveling horse drink water by itself downstream.
Three filled buckets are of the same type, so they can be placed on top of each other without taking up too many storage compartments.
This gives us 30L of water.
There are now eleven farmers, two warriors, a black panther, a giant wolf, plus Zong Shen himself and the old traveling horse in the territory.
This 30L of water should be enough for one to two days.
However, Zong Shen's territory is not far from this creek. Once the wood resources on hand are sufficient, he can make more barrels and let Colby come to fetch water.
He was worried about the farmer traveling far away.
The farmer's combat ability is too low and he has no ability to protect himself. He will easily suffer losses when encountering danger.
Zong Shen thought while getting on the old traveling horse.
He rode his horse back towards the small courtyard.
Using his free time, he needs to understand some common sense issues before him as soon as possible.
The "Lord Survival" system will not answer these questions. Originally, the lord needs to explore on his own, but Zong Shen is different.
He has a strategy module.
Currently, Zong Shen does not have a clear goal regarding how to obtain farmers.
His initial farmers come from the ones given at the beginning.
Then he rescued eight farmers by raiding the bandit camp.
It seems that these farmers cannot be recruited out of thin air like soldiers.
"Excuse me, how to recruit more farmers?"
As the saying goes, if you are indecisive, turn to the strategy.
Zong Shen immediately raised his doubts.
(As for the recruitment of farmers, there are mainly the following ways.
The first way, and the most important way, is to find the villages/towns/giant cities of the indigenous people, and gain the trust of the indigenous people by increasing the reputation value and completing the tasks of regional favorability/prestige. Every once in a while,
They can be recruited once in this area, and the number of recruited natives varies depending on the favorability/prestige level and the size of the area.
The second way is that mercenaries and ambitious people often appear in town taverns. Here, as long as you can pay enough remuneration or agree to satisfy the other party's ambitions, you can quickly harvest talents, and you may even encounter
Heroic talents with potential
The third way is to plunder indigenous villages and forcibly plunder the population, but you may encounter counterattacks and annihilation by indigenous forces at all levels.
The fourth way is to attack bandits/bandits/foreign tribes/lairs, and there is a probability that certain indigenous people can be rescued.
The fifth way is to purchase through slave merchants.
The sixth way is that after the territory expands and its influence increases, it will naturally attract people to migrate here.
The seventh way is, if you can accept foreigners, you can even go to foreign countries to recruit them through alliances/favorability/plundering.
ps: The above methods are not all ways to obtain population. There are countless opportunities and strong people waiting for you in the entire continent)
I see!
Zong Shen understood immediately.
Farmers and other populations cannot appear out of thin air and need to be recruited from the indigenous forces on the mainland.
This is the main source of population.
Only after you have a basic population can you thrive.
This will require decades of hard work.
"What about soldiers? Can they only be recruited through recruitment rolls?"
Zong Shen raised the second question in his mind.
(In the recruitment rolls, the soldiers who are directly summoned are all recruitment tools left over from ancient times. There are many recruitment rolls but they are also scattered. They are hard to come by. It was once a major recruitment method on the mainland.
The military types are almost extinct now. Powerful heroes or soldiers voluntarily sleep in different dimensions, waiting for the recruitment of lords to reappear in this world.
In addition to recruitment rolls, aboriginal farmers, as basic population units, can also be trained into soldiers, but they require specific buildings, such as those level 1 barracks buildings in [Construction].
These are the most common and basic human recruitment units. They can train farmers into soldiers by spending some materials.
Of course, there are many special recruiting buildings, which require the lord to continuously explore and discover!
To sum up, you have a long way to go, work hard, noob?? Little lord)
After Zong Shen read the prompts, he had deeper thoughts about population and development.
If you want to develop, contact with indigenous forces is inevitable.
However, there is no rush in this matter.
Today is the first day of implementation and development.
The territory has not yet been formed.
At least until the territory begins to take shape and has the ability to protect itself, Zong Shen will consider contacting the indigenous forces.
