Chapter 19 The Farmer Can't Appear Out of Thin Air 【For Collection and Recommendation】
According to the prompt, as long as you walk three miles north of the courtyard, you will find the small stream.
Zong Shen rode the old traveling horse and moved forward at a constant speed. It only took 6 or 7 minutes to see the stream.
Although it is said to be a small stream, the entire surface of the stream is about ten feet wide. The current is a bit turbulent, 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, and the pebbles at the bottom of the stream can be clearly seen.
He looked up and looked upstream along the stream.
It was found that this stream was flowing out from the mountains and forests far away in the north.
It flows from north to southwest.
Thinking that the system once prompted that there is a lake in the southwest, this stream should be one of the water sources of that lake.
Zong Shen is actually not surprised that there is a water source nearby.
After all, if there is a shortage of water here, it is impossible to form such a large and lush pasture.
And when Zong Shen was digging, he discovered that the soil here is extremely fertile black soil.
Relatively moist and quite sticky.
According to Earth.
That is the homogeneous humus soil formed under the conditions of the temperate humid climate grassland meadow vegetation.
This soil is about 3% to 10% organic matter, and it's a mess.
As long as there is no desertification of the land and barren grasslands, it is impossible to run out of water.
This is common sense judgment.
However, those lords who landed in the Gobi and desert areas are a pain in the ass.
I just don't know if there will be some balance compensation.
The many settings of Lord Survival are still very fair.
Standing by the stream, Zong Shen did not rush to draw water, but began to think about the relationship between the environment and survival.
Then, with a move, he took out the three wooden barrels he had made earlier and put them beside him.
He squatted down, stretched out his hand, took a handful of water, and took a sip.
The water is very sweet and has no peculiar smell.
Obviously this is a stream formed after flowing out of the mountain spring and merging into the grassland.
After continuous scouring and pebble purification, the water quality is very good.
He stared intently at the water.
(The water flowing from the springs high in the mountains is rich in various minerals and is of good quality, but it is still recommended that you drink it after boiling)
After checking the guide and confirming that it was correct, Zong Shen began to fill the water.
Fill the three buckets one after the other and store them in the carry-on storage compartment.
Just let the old traveling horse drink water by himself in the downstream position.
The three filled buckets belong to the same category, so they can be stacked on top of each other without taking up too much storage space.
That's 30L of water.
There are now eleven farmers, two warriors, a black panther, a giant wolf, Zong Shen himself and the old traveling horse in the territory.
This 30L of water should be enough to drink for one to two days.
However, Zong Shen's territory is not far from this creek. When the wood resources on hand are sufficient, he can make more wooden barrels and let Colby come to fetch water.
He was worried that the farmer would go far away.
The farmer's fighting ability is too low, and without self-protection, it is easy to suffer losses when encountering danger.
While thinking about it, Zong Shen got on the old traveling horse.
Ride back toward the small courtyard on horseback.
Using his free time, he needs to understand some of the common-sense issues in front of him as soon as possible.
The system of "Lord Survival" will not answer these questions. It was originally required for the lord to explore on his own, but Zong Shen is different.
He has a Raiders module.
At present, Zong Shen does not have a clear goal on how to obtain farmers.
His starting farmer comes from a gift from the start.
Then, by sweeping the rogue camp, eight farmers were rescued.
These farmers don't seem to be recruited out of thin air like warriors.
"Excuse me, how can I recruit more farmers?"
Is the so-called indecisive turn over the Raiders.
Zong Shen immediately raised the doubts in his heart.
(As for the recruitment of farmers, there are mainly the following ways.
The first and most important way is to find the villages/towns/giant cities of the aborigines, and gain the trust of the aborigines by increasing the reputation value and completing the tasks of regional favorability/reputation. All of them can be recruited once in the area, and the number of aboriginals recruited varies depending on the favorability/reputation and the size of the area.
The second way is that mercenaries and people with lofty ideals often appear in town taverns. Here, as long as you can pay enough remuneration, or promise to satisfy each other's aspirations, you can quickly harvest talents, and you may even encounter Heroes with potential
The third way is to plunder aboriginal villages and forcibly plunder the population, but may encounter counterattacks and annihilation by aboriginal forces at all levels
The fourth way, by attacking bandits / rogues / alien tribes / lair, there is a probability that certain aboriginals can be rescued.
The fifth way is to buy through slave merchants.
The sixth way, after the territory is expanded, the influence will increase, and it will naturally attract the population to migrate.
The seventh way, if you can accept foreign races, you can even go to the foreign race country to recruit by forming alliances / brushing goodwill / looting.
ps: The above methods are not all methods of population acquisition, and there are countless opportunities and strong people waiting for you in the whole continent)
I see!
Zong Shen suddenly understood.
Farmers and other populations do not appear out of thin air and need to be recruited from the indigenous forces of the mainland.
This is the main source of population avenues.
After you have the basic population, you can reproduce.
This requires decades of water grinding.
"And what about soldiers? Is it only possible to recruit through a recruitment scroll?"
Zong Shen raised the second question in his mind.
(In the recruitment volume, the soldiers who are directly summoned are all recruitment props left over from ancient times. The number of recruitment volumes is large, but they are also scattered, which can be hard to find. It was once a major recruitment method on the mainland. The arms of the fighters are almost extinct now, and powerful heroes or soldiers voluntarily sleep in a different dimension, waiting for the recruitment of the lord to reappear in this world.
In addition to the recruitment volume, those aboriginal farmers can also be trained as soldiers as a basic population unit, but they require specific buildings, such as those tier 1 barracks buildings in [Construction].
These are the most common and basic Terran recruiting units that, for a few materials, can train farmers into soldiers.
Of course, there are also many special recruiting buildings that require constant exploration and discovery by the lord!
To sum up, you have a long way to go, work hard, little rookie lord)
After Zong Shen read the tips, he had a deeper thought on population and development.
If you want to develop, contact with aboriginal forces is unavoidable.
However, this matter is not in a hurry.
Today is the first day of development.
The territory is not yet formed.
At least until the territory has begun to take shape and has the power to protect itself, Zong Shen will consider contacting the aboriginal forces.
