The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 81 The First Snow
Even if Su Lin doesn't go out, he can learn the basic information of the village through Sha Niu's panel.

How many wild fruits can be harvested, how many wild animals can be hunted, how much furniture can be produced, how much ore can be dug out, and how many fish can be caught every day.

You can see as long as you want to know.

After the upgrade, there is an additional [-] population limit. The ratio of villagers to militiamen remains at [-]:[-], and [-]% of villagers and [-]% of militiamen.

The role of the militia is to be able to defend the village and fight, but the role of the villagers is even greater, equivalent to engineers, who can build these military buildings.

There are no engineers in various countries, and this is a scarce resource.

The villagers are not without combat power, they can learn simple archery, and it is no problem to use it for the defense of the arrow tower.

Moreover, the cost is cheaper.

Su Lin's idea is very simple. Since the offensive ability cannot be compared with Qin, let's fight defensively.

The arrow towers played a very powerful role in the last war. Since they are easy to use, build more. At the same time, upgrade the weapons of the arrow towers.

See if the smithy can make a stationary arrow crossbow that can be operated by one person.

In the past, each arrow tower required four people. If the weapons can be improved, only a few people can defend the arrow tower.

Su Lin was thinking about something when footsteps came from outside the door.

"Squeak."

Li Erni brought in a wooden basin, which was still steaming.

"Master, it's getting late, wash your feet." Li Erni squatted down and put the wooden basin on the ground.

"Ah."

Surin nodded.

Li Erni supported Su Lin's calf, took off the white leather boots and put them aside.

Su Lin didn't wear socks, and felt that the smelly and long socks of the ancients were uncomfortable, so he put fur insoles in his boots.

"hiss."

Su Lin's expression was slightly painful, and it was a little hot when he stretched his feet in, but he felt very comfortable after a while.

"My lord, is the water hot? Do you want to add some cold water?" Li Erni raised her head and asked.

"No, that's fine." Su Lin smiled.

"Here."

Li Erni put her hands into the basin and slowly rubbed Su Lin's feet.

Su Lin only asked Li Erni to come and serve her these few days. Sometimes she was too lazy and went to bed without washing her feet. Now it is so comfortable to have someone serve her.

Li Erni is now the battalion commander of the women's battalion. In fact, there are not many things in the women's battalion. Basically, they are doing some tedious work, and there is no need for her to keep an eye on everything.

Speaking of which, Li Erni was the first batch of villagers recruited here, but I don't know why she is still single now.

Now I am a cadre no matter what, and I can't stay single all the time.

In every era, it was important to be well-matched. I wonder if she has anyone she likes.

"Erni, are you still single?" Su Lin asked curiously.

Now the village implements free love. If a man and a woman like each other, they can register together.

Su Lin also encourages marriage and childbirth. Only in this way can the next generation be conceived and the village have new hope.

"You're in no hurry, slave." Li Erni suddenly turned slightly red and seemed a little embarrassed.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Su Lin asked with a smile, "Is there someone you like?"

"No way."

Li Erni lowered her head and rubbed her feet with her hands in an unnatural way.

"I know it by the look on your face. Tell me who it is? Is it Li Jinlong?"

Su Lin guessed that Li Jinlong was also single, and with his burly body, his position matched Li Erni's. If they could be together, they would be considered a good match.

"No... yes." Li Erni whispered.

"No? Who else?"

Su Lin became even more curious. Ma Yun and Ma Huateng are already married, and the others are not familiar with them.

After all, there are a thousand people in the village, how could Su Lin know everyone.

"Yes..." Li Erni said halfway, but she was still embarrassed to say it.

"What are we only afraid of? Say it, say it..."

Su Lin was so curious that he lifted his foot to step on the water with a smile, and splashed the foot washing water, splashing Li Erni all over.

Since Su Lin asked the question, Li Erni had nothing to hide, so she went all out.

"It's...Wei Qi."

After Li Erni finished speaking, her face flushed with embarrassment, she lowered her head and continued to wash Su Lin's feet.

"Weiqi?"

The corner of Su Lin's mouth twitched, Wei Qi's wretched image emerged vividly.

His position is not as good as Li Jinlong's, and his looks are average, the key is too cheap.

Although Su Lin is very satisfied with Wei Qi's loyalty, from a woman's point of view, he sneers at men with such conduct.

Li Erni looks pretty good, why did she fall in love with Wei Qi, what kind of vision is this?
"Hey, turnips and greens have their own loves." Su Lin also couldn't comment, and feelings are unpredictable.

After washing, Li Erni wiped the water off Su Lin's feet with a foot cloth.

"Don't worry, I will mention Wei Qi about this matter." Su Lin planned to protect Li Erni as a matchmaker.

"Thank you, my lord." Li Erni was very happy, but a little shy.

"Okay, you have a unique vision. It's getting late, so go down and have a rest early." Su Lin shook his head helplessly.

"Here."

Li Erni put on wooden slippers for Su Lin, got up, saluted slightly, and took out the basin.

The slippers on the feet are similar to Japanese clogs, and they are more convenient to wear, and the material is easy to make.

The lumberyard made a batch a few days ago, and the sales in Nanzheng City were pretty good.

In addition to buying salt and tea with the cloth coins he earned, Sulin also bought a lot of grain.

There is no shortage of food in the village, but it is still mainly meat and wild fruits, which are not easy to store.

Seeing that winter is coming, stock up on more food to be prepared.

A month later.

Sulin ushered in the first snow of this era.

White snowflakes fell, and soon the woods and houses in the mountains were dotted with snow.

Su Lin wrapped himself in a rabbit fur coat, and sat at the door with A Bao to enjoy the snow scene.

The raised rabbits have also been slaughtered. After breeding and capturing wild rabbits in the mountains, there are now seven to eight hundred rabbits.

Rabbits grow very fast and can be eaten within a few months of breeding.

Rabbit meat is roasted and eaten, and stewed soup is good.

As for the coat made of fur, it is still quite warm. A dozen rabbit skins can be made into a coat. At present, the production is limited, and only the battalion commander level has it, and the deputy battalion commander does not have it.

The remaining few pieces are placed in the Taobao store, and villagers can spend work points to buy them.

Because it is a rare material, the price of a rabbit fur coat is very expensive, and it takes half a year's work points for a villager to afford it.

Being able to wear this rabbit fur coat in the village is a status symbol.

In the snow, Li Erni came over with a hot meal.

When it was cold, Su Lin didn't even bother to move, so he asked someone to bring food to eat.

"Today's food is good, sweet potato rice soup and rabbit meat soup."

After putting down the food, Su Lin couldn't wait to start.

Li Erni also brought food for A Bao, some washed raw sweet potatoes.

The yield of sweet potatoes is indeed much higher than that of ordinary crops, and it is also easy to store. Surin plans to continue to expand planting next year.

After Ah Bao ate it last time, he liked the taste of sweet potatoes very much. He picked up a big sweet potato and started chewing.

Halfway through eating, a militiaman rushed over through the snow with a small flag of Shunfeng on his back.

Su Lin saw it from afar, and there would be news from Nanzheng City every few days, including news from both Chu and Qin.

Although staying in the deep mountains, the information can't be blocked, otherwise you won't know what's going on outside.
