Chapter 305 Private Farm

Yang Yi came to the Nushui River.

The Wrathwater River is the longest river with the largest drainage area on the continent of Kalimdor.

This great river originates in the southern part of Mount Hyjal, flows through the valley between Ashenvale and Azshara, and then flows south through the western edge of Orgrimmar, becoming the natural boundary between the western part of Durotar and the northeastern part of the Barrens. . The water eventually flows into Ratchet Bay and forms a waterfall at the mouth of the river.

In the Nushui River, a dozen fishmen were playing and playing, and the laughter of the fishmen could be heard in the distance.

A fishman sat alone on the river bank, with a dozen large wooden barrels for carrying water scattered around him.

The fish-man held his chin with his hands and stared blankly at the fish-men playing in the river, as if he was troubled by something.

As soon as Yang Yi heard the sound, he guessed that there were fish people who didn't work hard and went to play in the river during working hours. When he saw that the murloc sitting on the shore turned out to be a hardworking farmer named Ratchet, he felt terrible that the model worker from Ratchet Town had also missed work.

Yang Yi let the big turtle come closer.

"Hardworking, why do you come here to play in the water instead of working?" Yang Yi asked.

When Qinliu saw Yang Yi, he quickly stood up. He quickly explained: "Mayor, I'm not being lazy. I saw that these murloc hard workers who were carrying water to water the fields didn't come back for a long time, so I came over to urge them to go back to work early. of."

Yang Yi took a look at Qindu and saw that he was not holding a whip like Gulu, so he asked: "Why don't you call them up there instead of being in a daze here?"

"Mayor, look at these murloc peons. They can't stand the strong sun in the sky. The fish scales on some of them have been exposed to the ground and have begun to fall off. I'm afraid that if I push too hard, all these murloc peons will disappear again. " Qinliu explained.

Yang Yi understood after hearing Diligent's explanation that the environment in the barren land was indeed very hard for the murlocs who farmed, especially since the murlocs' skin could not be dehydrated for a long time.

The work of Ratchet Town's fishermen is all arranged by the town, and escaping midway is never allowed. Murloc peons who run away cannot help but be punished and driven out of Ratchet Town.

Faced with such punishment, there are still fishmen who can't keep working and run away. It seems that these jobs are indeed unbearable for them.

"Continuing like this is not a long-term solution. Do you have any good ideas?" Yang Yi asked.

"It would be best if the farmland can be built beside the Nushui River. Otherwise, a canal irrigation system can be built to divert the river water to the land. Teacher Jiagu said that his hometown has such an irrigation system." Qinliu replied.

Yang Yi had also thought about reclaiming farmland along the Nushui River, but the Nushui River was a bit far away from Ratchet Town, and the murlocs in charge of guarding the town couldn't take care of it.

Yang Yi observed the surrounding geographical environment.

To the east is the long Nushui River, and to the west is the long stretch of Thorn Ridge Highlands. Between the Nushui River and Thorn Ridge Highlands is relatively flat land, and the 10,000 acres of farmland planned for Ratchet Town is located on this land.

Not only are wild beasts roaming around here, but also steel-maned quilboars often visit. On the other side of the Wrathwater River is the territory of tribal orcs and trolls.

If you want to defend this entire land, you must build a stronghold here and let the fighting murlocs in the town garrison it.

The location of this stronghold has actually been planned for a long time.

Yang Yi raised his head and looked to the Jingjiling Highlands to the west. The terrain there is higher and overlooks the Nushui River and farmland.

"It seems that the construction plan of the Fishman Village in Thorn Ridge needs to be advanced. The Highlands in Thorn Ridge has a favorable terrain. Not only does it have a clear view of the Nushui River and farmland, but it can also be used to defeat the low. It is very advantageous in both defense and offense." Yang Yi thought.

As for the canal irrigation system Qindu mentioned, Yang Yi thinks it is a good idea.

It is not necessary to build the farmland next to the river. It is enough to divert the water from the Nushui River to the farmland near Ratchet Town.

"In the future, large-scale cultivation of farmland will also require water. The irrigation system must be built early. Where is Jiagu now?" Yang Yi asked Qinli.

"At this time, Teacher Jia Gu is most likely at the Nushui River Falls, where he likes to drink." Qin Li replied.

"Let's go find him."

Yang Yi took Qinli with him and went to Nushui River Falls to find Jia Gu.

The mouth of the Nushui River flowing into Ratchet Bay formed a waterfall. When Yang Yi came over, Jinyu man Jiagu was sitting on a rock upstream of the waterfall.

Jiagu crossed his legs, blowing the breeze carrying the moist water vapor of the waterfall, admiring the beautiful scenery of the bay in front, listening to the sound of the waterfall, and taking a sip of wine from time to time.

It's really comfortable.

"This guy still enjoys it. If I hadn't been busy with things in Ratchet Town, I would have wanted to come here and drink while watching the scenery."

Yang Yi was extremely envious when he saw this. He had no time to spare all day for Ratchet Town. This Jiagu was better off, he could be leisurely and at ease every day.

"If you live like this for too long, you will inevitably fall. For the sake of Jia Gu, you have to arrange some work for him. Yes, this is all for his own good."

Yang Yi couldn't enjoy it himself, so he decided not to let Jiagu enjoy it alone.

Jiagu had already drank a lot, and he didn't know that his good life was already being watched.

"Teacher Jiagu, the mayor is here to see you." Qinliu called first.

"Mayor, why do you, a busy man, come here in person? If you have anything to do, ask the fishman to call me. Is there a wine party at the hotel tonight?" Jiagu said, shaking his head, half drunk.

"My lord has come to discuss something with you. If the matter is done, your wine will be indispensable." Yang Yi said.

"What's the matter? Jia Gu promises to do his best." Jia Gu immediately became energetic when he heard the word "fine wine".

"I heard from Qin Lao that there is a channel irrigation system that can solve the problem of water shortage in farmland. The farmland in Ratchet Town is now seriously short of water, and this lord wants to build an irrigation system." Yang Yi said.

"The Nushui River has a large amount of water. If the river water can be diverted to the land through channels, it will be enough for farmland irrigation." Jia Gu said.

"It seems that you have already understood the geographical conditions here. Only you understand the channel irrigation system, so this matter is handed over to you." Yang Yi took the opportunity to arrange the work for Jia Gu.

"Mayor, Jia Gu is just a farmer. Although he has seen the channel irrigation system in the field, it is the job of the construction workers to build them. I can only provide some reference opinions at most." Jia Gu refused.

Yang Yi also felt that it made sense when he heard it. After all, different trades are like different mountains. It is not professional to let Jia Gu be responsible for the construction of the channel irrigation system.

"Otherwise, there are more and more farmlands in Ratchet Town, but the number of fish farmers cannot keep up, and the gap is very large. The courses of Tide College only teach students some agricultural knowledge. This lord hopes that you, an expert farmer, can lead those students who graduate from the school and let them become fish farmers as soon as possible." Yang Yi said.

When Jia Gu heard that there was work to do, he closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he was going to pretend to be drunk.

"Good wine, ensure sufficient supply." Yang Yi said.

The two words "good wine" are the magic weapon to deal with Jia Gu, and Yang Yi has tried it many times. When Jia Gu heard that there was wine to drink, he immediately opened his eyes again and sobered up instantly.

"I have an additional request." Jia Gu said, pointing to the waterfall, "I want a private farm, built here."

"Private farm? Here?" Yang Yi asked.

"Yes." Jia Gu said.

"What kind of farm?" Yang Yi asked.

"Build a wall here, a two-story house there, a warehouse there, a livestock farm next to it, and use the surrounding area to cultivate farmland." Jia Gu pointed to the empty space and expressed his ideas.

"Of course, the most important thing is the wine cellar and brewery. I have thought of several locations and am still hesitating." Jia Gu added.

Good guy.

It turns out that Jia Gu had already made up his mind. Could it be that he was actually fishing while sitting here drinking, waiting for me, the fish, to take the bait.

"Your extra request is not simple at all." Yang Yi said.

"Jia Gu believes that these are not difficult for the mayor. If the mayor can meet Jia Gu's request, Jia Gu guarantees that there will be no shortage of fish farmers after the 10,000 acres of farmland are built." Jia Gu promised solemnly.

Ten thousand acres of farmland does not require 10,000 fish farmers.

A fishman farmer can only cultivate three to five acres of land with intensive cultivation. If he cultivates oats in an extensive way, with the help of fishman laborers, a fishman farmer can cultivate thirty to fifty acres of land.

So Jia Gu said that he would ensure that there would be no shortage of fishman farmers for 10,000 acres of farmland, which means that he needs to train at least 200 fishman farmers.

Thinking about the few fishman farmers in Ratchet Town, and then thinking about the full 200 fishman farmers, Yang Yi's eyes lit up.

"Deal!"

Yang Yi decisively made the decision and settled the matter.

"There are prerequisites for cultivating fishman farmers." Jia Gu said, taking out a note from his body, "Here are the farm tools and animal power needed for farming, as well as sun-proof clothing specially prepared for fishman farmers."

Good guy, good guy.

Even the note was written long ago, and it was really waiting for me, the fish, to take the bait.

Good hook.

For the future fishman farmers, Yang Yi accepted it.

He took the note and asked Benbolba to write down Jia Gu's request.

After leaving the Nushui River, Yang Yi returned to the town of Ratchet.

In the center of the fishman town, the deputy mayor, the blind old man, was called over.

While flipping through the small notebook of Benbol Ba, Yang Yi explained the next arrangements to the blind old man.

During this inspection of the grain industry in Ratchet Town, Yang Yi went to the Ratchet Bay, the Beast Valley, the Gravel Pit and the farmland.

From the content recorded by Benbol Ba, it can be seen that there are matters to be dealt with in each place.

"Before the harvest of the sludge grass at the Frenzy Bay Farm, these four places are the main sources of grain for our Ratchet Town, and the relevant matters must be dealt with first." Yang Yi said to the blind old man.

"By the way, how are the arrangements for the Frenzy Bay Farm?" Yang Yi asked.

"The fishmen sent to the Frenzy Bay Farm have been assembled, and now Ratchet No. 2 is loading supplies at the dock and can set off later today." The blind old man said.

"Very good. The Frenzy Bay Farm will be an important grain production area for our Ratchet Town in the future, and this matter is of utmost importance." Yang Yi said.

"Yes, Lord." said the old blind man.

The old blind man hurriedly went to arrange the matters that Yang Yi had asked him to do.

Yang Yi also sent his two followers, Benbolba and Mojimus, to their respective training camps for training, leaving himself alone in the center of the fishman town.
