Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

Qu Mao discussed with Su Yan, and was not persuaded by Su Yan because of the shortage of gold coins. Qu Mao and Su Yan personally arranged for the new construction and upgrade of the zero-level civilian dock after communicating with Su Yan.

I still go back and forth to different construction sites every day to earn cheating points, but this time there are more civilian docks on the empty island and outlying islands on the construction site.

However, on the morning of January 7th, when Qu Mao opened the door of the house, he realized that it was raining lightly outside the house. When I returned to Yi Village from Gangzhong Village last night, it was still fine. How can the sky change when the sky changes?

Although the rain outside the house was not heavy, it was not small, just enough to make it impossible for the outdoor construction project to proceed smoothly.

Su Yan walked from the dining room to the living room with a sad face, and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, it's raining!"

Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense! I'm not blind, so I can see it naturally."

Su Yan said: "My lord, on the three islands in the territory of Yi Village, because of the rain, at least 20,000 people have to stop work and rest."

Qu Mao asked in astonishment: "What's the matter? After staying at the residence, we don't have enough food?"

Su Yan shook her head and said, "My lord, there is enough food, but my subordinates are afraid that these freedmen who have surrendered their troops and taken prisoners of war will have nothing to do, and they will easily cause trouble when they get together."

Qu Mao frowned and said, "Damn it! This is indeed a problem.

How about this, Su Yan, taking advantage of the fact that the rain is not too heavy, we will call the village chiefs to collect all the ash from outlying islands and easy islands and transport them to the pier.

Go back and transport it to Sky Island by sea boat. Even if the grass is planted in this way on Sky Island, even if the coverage reaches 100%, I’m afraid it won’t let our war horses eat it.

I have to find a way to prepare some soil for the empty island, so that the grass can take root deeper.

It's already January of the third year of God's Selection, and spring is about to enter, and the stallions and mares purchased from Yancheng must not be released for another year.

Our territory of Yi Village must start breeding our own war horses as soon as possible, and the pasture on Sky Island must be able to supply our war horses this year. "

Su Yan said: "My lord, nearly 20,000 people are idle in outlying islands and empty islands. You don't think about this issue, and you actually think about tossing the pastures of the empty island...

What if the rain doesn't stop tomorrow? Aren't you making a fuss? "

Qu Mao said: "Then what if the rain stops tomorrow? It's idle anyway, so let everyone collect the ashes.

Taking advantage of the rain, I must go to Sky Island to have a look. The pasture has been planted for so long, and the grass coverage rate of Sky Island has not even reached half.

There is no soil, the pasture planted on the empty island is a phenomenon, and the horses will be uprooted as soon as they eat it. I have to create at least three soils for the empty island. I use these plant ash mixed with the silt in the folding space of the different villages of the empty island to form the soil. , which is directly mixed with forage seeds.

At that time, spread these mixtures in the low-lying valleys on the empty island, spread them one meter thick, and then ensure that they are watered every day, as long as the wind does not blow away.

When the forage seeds germinate and the forage grows about ten centimeters, the wind will definitely not be able to blow it away.

We only need to plant three places, each of which has a hundred square meters is enough. After all, we don’t even have 20 war horses, so it’s definitely not a big problem to trade food in three places. "

Su Yan said: "All right, my lord, the subordinates will make arrangements now."

Of course, it might clear up tomorrow, but Qu Mao thinks it is still necessary to do this job. The only regret is that there is no weather forecast, otherwise it can be arranged in advance.

Considering that Su Yan thought that the next day might clear up, Qu Mao did not go to Sky Island that day, but planned to wait until the next day.

Although the rain did not intensify the next day, it had no intention of stopping either. It just so happened that a large amount of ash had accumulated in the villages near the Lidao civilian pier and Yidao civilian pier.

So Qu Mao asked each of the two islands to arrange a sea ship, and the hero used a backpack to load a large amount of plant ash and set off for the empty island.

On the side of Yidao, Qu Mao took Su Yan with him, and on the other side of the outlying island, Su Qiaoer took a sea boat there.

After rushing to the empty island, Qu Mao took Su Yan and Su Qiaoer, and first poured out all the plant ash in his backpack, and then asked Franklin Jin and the village head Wang Mao to organize the villagers of different villages to transport the plant ash on two sea boats to the different villages. Village folding space yet.

The landform in the folded space of Yicun Village has basically been remodeled, but the regular dredging of ditches and reservoirs is continuing, and the cultivated land is basically being reclaimed according to the plan.

Franklin Jin and Wang Mao are already familiar with mixing plant ash and silt, and even many villagers in other villages are very familiar with it.

But Qu Mao dragged Franklin Jin and Su Yan out of the folding space and wandered around the empty island, while Su Qiaoer returned to the outlying island after the ship from the outlying island had unloaded its cargo.

Picking a valley, Qu Mao said to Franklin King: "Franklin, we have to change our thinking, and ask the village chief Wang Mao to organize the villagers to pull the mixture of plant ash, silt, and pasture seeds, and spread them all here. In the valley, pave at least one meter thick."

After Franklin King finished making arrangements, he asked suspiciously, "My lord, is this?"

Qu Mao said: "The way in the past can indeed grow grass, but even if the grass grows, I dare not feed it to the war horses, as soon as they eat it, the roots will be gone.

We want to make artificial soil on the empty island. Taking advantage of the rain, we pile up a one-meter-thick soil mixed with plant ash and silt, and pay attention to watering at ordinary times.

When the pasture grows to a height of about ten centimeters, on the one hand, the root system of the pasture will solidify the silt mixed with plant ash underneath, and on the other hand, the pasture can also block the wind and directly blow away the silt mixed with plant ash.

In this way, when the pasture grows to two feet high, the root system will penetrate the soil more than two feet deep, so that the war horses will not eat the pasture without eating the roots. "

Hearing Qu Mao's explanation, Franklin King nodded and said, "My lord, this move is so amazing, why didn't my subordinates think of it?

With this method, maybe in the first half of the year, our empty island forage can be scaled up. "

Qu Mao said: "Let's look at the effect of this model first. Let's see if the pasture can grow to two feet high in half a year. If it doesn't grow to two feet high, just to be safe, we can continue to wait for another year."

Franklin King smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, when I first saw that you brought so much plant ash, I thought it could at least help Sky Island replant pasture 20 times.

But now with this form, I wonder if it is possible to grow 10,000 square meters of grass. "

Qu Maodao: "Don't be greedy. In the second year of Tianxuan, we planted according to the previous method for half a year, but the grass coverage rate can't even reach 50%. Even the pasture that grows is very fragile. If it is not watered for three days, it will die withered.

We are using this method now, even though the planting is slow, but the quality is relatively high. "

Franklin King glanced at the valley and said, "My lord, this quality is very high, but it will not increase the pasture coverage of Sky Island in the short term. The pasture planted last year mainly grows better on low-lying terrain."

Qu Mao said: "This kind of quality pasture land, even if it is small, is better than full coverage. We will expand it slowly."

Su Yan stayed on Sky Island for one night and then returned to Yi Island, but Qu Mao stayed on Sky Island. The rain did not stop for several days, so every day Qu Mao took Franklin Jin, Wang Mao and Yi Yi with him. Villagers carry out this artificial soil project.

It was raining lightly all the time, and this kind of rain would not wash away the mixed soil that Qu Mao and others had laid down, and there was no need for Qu Mao and others to water it extra, which was just right.

In the end, Qu Mao selected four relatively low-lying valleys on the empty island. The first place was covered with mixed soil of about 2,500 square meters, and the next three places were of different sizes. About square meters.

These mixed soils are all mixed with a large proportion of pasture seeds. Even in January, the weather on the three islands of Sky Island, Yi Island and Outlying Island is not particularly cold.

If this rainy day lasts for five more days, it is estimated that there is no need for special people to water the villages, and the pastures in these artificial soil areas can grow directly.

In the four low-lying valleys, a one-meter-thick soil was piled up with plant ash mixed with silt. The total area exceeds 10,000 square meters. If there are only more than 20 war horses, Qu Mao thinks that eating a piece of grass a month and taking turns to eat, there is a high probability With these pastures alone, they can feed more than 20 war horses by themselves.

After staying on the empty island for four days, Qu Mao asked Franklin Jin and Wang Mao to continue to transform the pasture planting of the entire empty island according to this specification, and not to be reluctant just because there is pasture growing in the valley.

They also reminded Franklin Jin and Wang Mao that if the rain stops, they should remember to organize villagers to take the initiative to water the soil, so as to prevent the soil from being blown away by the sea breeze before the grass grows.

The mares must be bred this year, and the war horses of the army in Yicun Territory must be prepared in advance. The population growth rate is so fast that Qu Mao is a bit caught off guard, and the construction of the army must also be prepared in advance.

After Qu Mao left Sky Island, Franklin King implemented Qu Mao's request more carefully than Qu Mao.

As one of the earliest residents of the Yi Village Territory, Franklin King has been staying on Sky Island as the island owner. He has long been dissatisfied that Sky Island is only positioned as a farm, and the pasture has been planted unsuccessfully, which makes Franklin King feel great pressure.

Now that Qu Mao has given the method, it is natural to vigorously implement it.

Fortunately, Qu Mao’s two ships and the backpacks of the three heroes brought a large amount of plant ash to Sky Island. Franklin King had enough raw materials for artificial soil. As for the silt in the folding space, it is basically the same as inexhaustible. .

After Qu Mao left, Franklin Jin and Wang Mao marked four new low-lying lands on the empty island, and planned to recreate four areas with a thickness of one meter of soil. In this way, there will be eight areas with a total of about 20,000 square meters. The acreage of high-quality forage grass has grown.
