Chapter 382: All-round Farming

Reggie's attitude towards civilians has changed. He is no longer as gentle as before because he feels an unprecedented sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis comes from evil spirits. According to the ancient books of Yang Qiu, the Qinges people have been fighting evil spirits for nearly a hundred years. They also had a certain degree of civilization, but in the end they did not escape the end of destruction. Ancient books say

Reading several passages made Reggie shudder.

In the Great Desolation (Sui Xing Nian), the king's army of 300,000 soldiers fought against the evil spirits (evil demons), killing a million enemies, and using all the aid, he was defeated, and the king died in the circle.

Rou Zhao Chi Fen Ruo, the king's army with 500,000 troops, armed with flying fire, fought against the filthy seeds in the Tianshan Mountains. He was defeated, the army was wiped out, and the king committed suicide.

In Zhaoyang Xiexie, the king's army with 500,000 soldiers fought against the filthy seeds in the capital city. After all the food was exhausted and the city was destroyed, the king and his people surrendered, eating all the filthy seeds as food.



In nearly a hundred years of fighting, the successive kings elected by the Qinges Continent, who are also the common lords of the world, have waged hundreds of large-scale wars with evil spirits, using hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, but they have failed to win the war.

A victory. Some kings died in battle, some committed suicide, and some chose to surrender, and eventually became food for the devil.

It is undeniable that the ancients exaggerated. Hundreds of thousands of troops may not have existed, but at least the scale of the war was tens of thousands. According to records in ancient books, they used "flying fire" more than once, and this kind of flying fire should be

Ancient gunpowder.

The Qingas people have mastered the use of gunpowder. They have united the power of the entire continent and still cannot defeat the evil demon. Judging from the current situation of the Origino continent, once the evil demon loses control, the outcome of the entire war will not be as good as

The Qinges Continent is even better. Even the arrogant White Tower Kingdom may not be able to sustain itself for long in the face of the evil spirits. The only ones who can truly compete with the evil spirits are Reggie and his Shattered Snow City.

With the advanced technology of later generations, Reggie is sure to crush any country militarily, but he really doesn't have much confidence to fight the evil spirits.

War is not just a military contest, it is a comprehensive confrontation of population, economy, technology, etc. It also includes a series of supernatural powers such as wizards and spells. Only by condensing all the powers can we defeat the evil.

hope.

Reggie can tolerate the provocation of the Hades Wizard because he is fully controlling the Mud Demon. But he cannot tolerate the Byers who refuse to farm because they are weakening Reggie's strength, and it is the most basic strength. If there is no food reserve,

There is no guarantee, and trying to win the war is pure fantasy.

There is Sophia in the north, Chris in the south, and Reggie has temporarily escaped the threat of evil spirits. Now is a great opportunity for farming.

Farming is comprehensive and must be all-round, and no citizen can stay out of it.

Reggie gave Asharif more power, and he also gave a certain amount of connivance to behaviors that were beyond the scope of the law. Forced by the steamroller, the Bayers were forced to pick up farm tools, and Reggie

The order given to them is that each person must harvest at least 3,000 pounds of grain every year. All grains are not allowed to be traded privately, and all grains are purchased by Reggie at a uniform price.

Not only the Bayers, but all territories have clear farming tasks, and the most difficult task is still Shattering Snow City.

Reggie asked the agricultural officer to cultivate all the land outside the city. He asked Nipoli to purchase more slaves and allocate more land to the original residents.

Farming experts like Lao Yaman are naturally the focus of the agricultural officer. Their family has added eight new pieces of land. According to Reggie's requirements, each piece of land must achieve a yield of 3,000 pounds. This pressure is quite real.

.

Starting from the spring plowing, Lao Yaman got up before dawn and had to be busy until late at night every day. The heavy labor made the whole family suffer. Seeing Varese appear at the door of the house with a lewd smile, Lao Yaman guessed it right away.

The other party’s intention was that he wanted to rent the land to himself.

Old Yaman really wanted to reject him, but after hearing the conditions he offered, Old Yaman still couldn't restrain his greed and rented the land.

"We are already friends. We don't need half of the rent. You only need to give me 20% of the harvest, and the rest is yours."

The rent of 20% is lower than the Lord's rent of 30%. Old Yaman, who was born as a slave, cannot resist such temptation.

That night, he announced an important thing to his nine sons: "No one is allowed to go to school, no one is allowed to go to the city, no one is allowed to go to girls, and no one is allowed to leave the village until the food is harvested!"

It's acceptable not to go to the city. Old Yaman is too stingy, and the children don't have much money to go to the city for entertainment.

It doesn't matter if you don't find a girl, no girl can look at a poor boy with empty pockets.

But not being allowed to go to school is a bit excessive. Studying is the whole hope of this group of young people. Lao Yaman’s eldest son was the first to protest;

To my wife."

"I can't even write my own name, why didn't your mother marry me!" Lao Yaman saved some face for his eldest son and just scolded him. But when his third son Sha'an asked to go to school

, was directly beaten by Lao Yaman.

"Stop talking nonsense, you useless idiot. You are a farmer and will be a farmer all your life. No matter how many books you read, it will be useless!"

Lao Yaman got rid of all the ideas of his family and let them devote themselves to the farming plan. Not only Lao Yaman, but also every citizen in every territory. Except for Tuo Island and Black Rock Island, which did not have the conditions for farming, the rest

All land is included in the scope of farming.

Of course, "farming" is not just farming. All the factories in Suixue City are also running at full power. Reggie has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in making nitrate, phosphorus and metal smelting. Every day, a large amount of seawater and iron ore are produced from it.

The terminal provides non-stop delivery to the city.

"It's not enough, it's still not enough." Reggie was always dissatisfied with the reserves of food and steel. "Go to Shazhou City again, take all the merchant ships there, and buy more food."

"Sir, all our granaries are full!" Nipoli looked at Reggie helplessly.

"Then build more granaries."

"Iron ore is also piled up, and we simply don't have that much coke to make iron."

"We have such a big Black Stone Island," Reggie said angrily, "How could there be no coke?"

"Sir, there are not enough workers on Blackstone Island, and the coal mining speed is not that fast."

"It's up to me to figure this out. Just continue to purchase iron ore and grain. The more grain, the better."

Nipoli shook his head and said: "Now is not a good time to purchase food. The price of food in the White Tower Country has increased."

"How much has it increased?" Reggie's expression immediately changed.

"It's nearly doubled."

"I heard that the fire demons in the White Tower Kingdom have frequent activities. It seems that they are also in trouble." Reggie's mood became very heavy. In the past few days, he had received a lot of news about the demons.

Demons attacked the Black Wolf King's army, there were signs of wind demon activity in Dier Kingdom, and rare water demons appeared in Tianxing Kingdom...

The latest news comes from Bachelo. The mud demons of Camel Island have emerged from the land. Although these mud demons were easily eliminated by the Hades Wizard, in the past ten years, this is the first time that the mud demons have become out of control.

sign.

"It seems that the White Tower Kingdom can't bear it anymore," Reggie broke out in a cold sweat, "The war between evil spirits is about to begin again."

"Sir, please don't be so nervous." Nipoli took out an ear of wheat. "The fire demon in the White Tower Kingdom has not lost control. The reason why the price of food has increased is because of these damn bugs."

He pointed to a squirming flesh worm on the wheat ear: "This kind of worm has eaten a lot of grain in the White Tower Country. I'm worried that there are also this kind of worm in our granary."
