Chapter 129 Outlying Island Project

  When it comes to the development plan of the outlying islands, Su Yan inevitably repeats the old talk about building dams and reservoirs.

It took Qu Mao a long time to persuade Su Yan and Kong Ming's desire to build a reservoir. At the same time, he emphasized that the fifth-level junior water magician Jenny Walter had dredged the Lihe River to a depth of more than 5 meters, and the freshwater reserves of the Outlying Islands were developing in the early stages. must be enough.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, when Qu Mao, Su Yan, and Kong Ming were wandering in Li Village, they reached the Li River and found that Jia Sixie was leading no less than 100 people to reclaim cultivated land under the embankment. The leaders and those brought by Jia Sixie from Yidao, including some soldiers from the expedition team who did not go out to search for the treasure chest, were also called by Jia Sixie to help cultivate the land.

  Jia Sixie brought over 13 people with farming experience from Yidao this time, which is consistent with the number of people with farming experience in Franklin Jindai’s Sky Island, or it was Su Yan’s intentional arrangement.

  When Qu Mao walked past the place where the leaders were working, he waved to Jia Sixie and shouted: "Jia Sixie, don't rush to do your work.

  First come to the second-story wooden building, let's chat. "

  Jia Sixie handed the shovel in his hand to a citizen beside him, arranged a few more words, then wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Okay, my lord, please wait for a while."

   Not long after, Qu Mao, Su Yan, the fifth-level junior water magician Jenny Walter, Kong Ming, Jia Sixie and others sat in the living room of the second-level wooden building.

   Qu Mao asked: "Village Chief Jia Sixie, please tell me about your plan for Li Village, and the development and development of Li Island will not be taken care of for the time being.

  Tomorrow, I will bring the exploration team back to Yi Island to rest, and in a few days, I will ask Wang Ping and Zhao Pan to reorganize the army to explore out of the island. "

  Jia Sixie said: "Yes, my lord, Lord Wang Ping and Lord Zhao Pan will bring a large army to explore later, such an arrangement is very good.

  My lord, after the subordinates leave the village, they do not plan to expand the buildings in the village. Except that the dam will continue to be built and the cultivated land will continue to be reclaimed, other permanent or semi-permanent buildings and resource mines will not be additionally involved.

  However, if the construction site of the embankment and cultivated land is far away from the village, soldiers need to be arranged to guard the working people, so the army also needs to arrange some.

  This time, the subordinates brought 4 medical personnel from Yi Village to replace the 4 ship doctors of the exploration team who were on duty in 4 medical rooms.

  My lord will not arrange additional manpower to assist in the medical room before the new expeditionary army arrives. But as long as your army is here, each medical room will arrange two additional civilian assistant medical personnel to treat the wounded. In the future, if the vassals who are used to assist have learned medical technology, the subordinates will arrange for them to stay in the medical room for a long time.

The subordinates of the blacksmith and the carpenter each brought two people over. A defense tower needs to arrange for two fixed citizens to be on duty for a long time. There are also 2 citizens in the lighthouse, and 5 in the civilian dock.

  A total of 33 people were arranged under his subordinates to cultivate and reclaim the cultivated land.

  The rest of the people are the 20 people who built the embankment. This arrangement may slow down the speed of building the embankment. However, there are only 120 subordinates in total, so this is the only way to go.

   There are also 50 warriors, including 10 first-tier spearmen, 10 second-tier archers, and 30 third-tier princess guards.

  This arrangement can ensure that Li Village can obtain enough food through hunting for a long period of time, and there is no need for additional food support from Yi Island. Before coming, the subordinates saw that Master Su Yan brought almost all the food brought back from Yancheng to the different village of Sky Island. "

Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Well, if you count you together, there are exactly 121 people. Most of the leaders I brought will return to Yi Island with the exploration team. You will arrange the leaders who are less than this number first, so as not to have to go back to Yidao." After Yi Island, I have to send someone over for you."

  Jia Sixie nodded and said: "My lord, Mrs. Su Yan, the internal affairs officer, has already made arrangements, and his subordinates have also fixed the leaders and troops who will stay in Li Village.

   It’s just that there are generally fewer women on the outlying islands and empty islands. After you bring the female ship doctor back to Yidao, there are only 19 female leaders in the outlying village, and even fewer in the empty island, with only 11 female leaders.

  Of course, there are not many female leaders in the entire territory of Yi Village. The three villages of Yi Island add up to 128 families of skilled workers, and we have a total of 317 women, including Lady Su Yan.

  The subordinates suggest that the next time you go to Yancheng, you should bring more female leaders back. "

  Qu Mao said: "Okay, let's talk about it when we go to Yancheng.

  Su Yan told me that you also brought enough seeds to sow 400 units of arable land, right? "

  Jia Sixie nodded and said, "Yes, my lord. Now there are more than 100 people helping his subordinates to reclaim the wasteland, which should be enough to reclaim 400 units of arable land tomorrow.

   Then the subordinates plan to sow the grain seeds of 400 units of cultivated land in the first season tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. After sowing, the demand of the people will be much less than when the cultivated land is reclaimed.

  After the 400 units of arable land are all sown, only about 20 leaders need to be arranged to serve the arable land every day.

Some of the remaining residents will continue to reclaim arable land. After the first season of crops is harvested, we will reclaim no less than 600 units of additional arable land. The overall plan of Li Village is to sow seeds from the second season after the first season of grain harvest. At the beginning, the total amount of cultivated land reaches 1000 units.

  Of course, if the adults will arrange more citizens to go to outlying islands in advance, this number will still increase.

  The harvest of the first season of grain, except for the seeds enough to be planted on 1000 units of arable land, the rest will be used as grain reserves on the outlying islands. It is estimated that after the second season of grain harvesting, the outlying islands will be able to provide a small amount of grain for Yi Island.

For the rest of the citizens who are idle, the subordinates will arrange for them to continue to build the embankment. The embankment will be built to the source of the Li River in accordance with Master Kong Ming's plan, and will be connected to the future Li River Dam. To build a reservoir. "

   Qu Mao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, rolled his eyes in his heart, and thought to himself: "There are 1,000 units of arable land in Licun, and if one unit of arable land harvests 300 units of grain in one season, it is equivalent to 300,000 units of grain in 21 days on the outlying island.

  The total number of soldiers and civilians in Li Village is only 121, and each person consumes 3 units of food per day. In 21 days, they can consume less than 10,000 units in total. No wonder Jia Sixie is so confident.

  The total number of citizens of Sky Island is 50% more than that of outlying islands. Although there are 24 resource mines, the agricultural population is basically the same, which is equivalent to the output of Sky Island.

Even if the consumption is higher, the production time of food crops is different, but it is equivalent to two months later, the empty island and the outlying island can provide 500,000 units of food for the territory of Yi Village every month, which is equivalent to nearly 5,000 units of food. The locals provide food for a whole month.

  Based on this calculation, the only thing missing for the development of the entire territory of Yi Village is the number of residents. "

  Su Yan said: "Mr. Jia, the food for the first and second seasons doesn't need you to consider the territory of Yi Village, you arrange it yourself.

   Village Chief Franklin’s first and second seasons of grain production are also arranged by him, and Yi Village’s territory will not want you.

But you can't be too optimistic, because after returning to Yi Island this time, I will call on the sailors to sail farther to fish and explore the island, which means they will spend the night on outlying islands or empty islands. The sailors are all citizens of Yi Village. They spend the night on outlying islands or empty islands, which means that you or Village Chief Franklin have to manage two meals for the sailors who spend the night.

  The army rations for the follow-up exploration of the islands also need to be provided by empty islands and outlying islands. You are still under great pressure.

  Starting from the third season harvest, you can provide 300,000 units of military rations to the territory of Yi Village every month. I am very satisfied with you. After all, Sky Island has other resources to provide.

  Of course, if there are enough people in the outlying islands in the future, I think it would be good for you to trim a few zero-level logging farms to provide firewood for the outlying villages. "

   Qu Mao said: "Jia Sixie, your plan is good, let's develop according to your plan first, or you don't need to wait until I return from Yancheng for the second time, I will assign you people in advance according to the actual situation.

  Master Su Yan said about providing food for overnight sailors and exploration troops, you should make good arrangements and make proper preparations.

You don’t need to think too much about the people’s affairs now. After we all go back, you and Franklin need to communicate more. After we return to Mingang Village, we will arrange for a ship to come back. From now on, you and Franklin will be responsible for the ship. Shared control facilitates communication between outlying islands and empty islands.

  Sky Island’s current drinking fresh water has to be sent from outlying islands. I think it will be a long time before the swamp landformation is completed before it will be possible to provide fresh water for Sky Island. "

Jia Sixie clasped her hands and said, "Thank you, thank you for your support. This subordinate is confident enough to manage Li Village well. Please rest assured, Your Excellency. Sky Island's subordinates will definitely take care of it. After all, this subordinate has a very good personal relationship with Village Chief Franklin... "

  Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Jia Sixie's words, and said, "Of course I can rest assured that you and Franklin are both here, and I won't transfer the two of you if you don't rest assured.

   The matter of the sailors' sailing will be arranged immediately after Master Su Yan returns to Yi Island. "

  Jia Sixie said: "Don't worry, my lord, subordinate..."

At this moment, a third-tier princess guard rushed into the second-tier wooden building, but Qu Mao frowned and said out of breath, "My lord... my lord, it's not good. There are casualties in our army. Lord Zhao Pan was also injured, and was just sent to the medical room for treatment..."

   "Crack!" The goose feather fan in Kong Ming's hand suddenly fell to the ground, making a soft sound.

  Su Yan and Jia Sixie stood up suddenly, and the fifth-level junior water magician Jenny Walter gently took out the staff, turned slightly sideways, and moved to stand behind Qu Mao.

   Qu Mao slapped the table and stood up with a "huh".
