Chapter 81

It has been a month since that anticlimactic raid, and similarly, the 85 people who attacked the outer city fled wisely after being swept away by Xu Shilang's heavy machine gun.

With such a virtuous subordinate, it is no wonder that Wang Bing would say that the blood-drinking mercenary group is a bunch of mobs.

And that day, Lin Guiyao not only brought back a batch of new weapons and food supplies, he also brought back a batch of women.

In other words, it was the woman who delivered it to her door.

He gathered the women and children from the three villages together, and only said two sentences:

"Do you want to live a life of numbness, or do you want to truly live as a person and not as a commodity?"

"If you choose the latter, I'll wait for you at Gaolingba."

In the end, only about 50 women arrived in the outer city.

It may be that it is difficult to leave the homeland, or it may be the man who has no face to meet him, but Lin Guiyao doesn't care about these things. The incident with the blood-drinking mercenary group proves that it is useless to have more people with an unstable heart.

What's more, the landlord's family has no surplus food.

Settle down these 50 people and ask them to assist in dealing with non-physical affairs such as sanitation and kitchen in the outer city.
For those who do not want to continue to be with those captive men, Lin Guiyao does not force them, and even protects their thoughts.

So far, the permanent population of the village has been divided into three classes: the core villagers on the dam, the preparatory villagers in the outer city, mainly those women, and the bottom-level captives and slaves.

Stopping in front of the newly reclaimed farmland, Lin Guiyao sighed and touched the green seedlings in the field. Facts have proved that his guess was correct.

Plants that are priced by kilograms have multiple harvests. One sweet potato plant can grow about 5-10 forearm-sized tubers, and one wheat plant can harvest an average of 1 kilogram of wheat grains, and the same is true for corn.

Since the price of planting is only for one seed, the five seeds obtained can be planted to harvest about 5 kg of wheat, and the G coins obtained by selling all of them are exactly the same as the cost of planting.
The only by-product, straw, is not worth much. Ten straws as thick as a broom are only worth 1G, which means that it is basically impossible to make money from growing these food crops.

And those with onion, ginger and garlic that have no by-products are even worse, and they can't make a dime.

But the good news is that there are many products, so if you want to expand your planting, as long as you have enough G coins, you can plant a large area very quickly, instead of doing it slowly one by one like potatoes.

Just like the newly planted wheat in front of Lin Guiyao, there are a total of 200 stalks, but less than one tael of wheat was used, and there is still a catty of nine taels left for him to toss.

"It seems that if you want to get food, you have to earn more G coins."

Lin Guiyao took out a hoe, and while mechanically doing the action of hoeing, brushing up his proficiency, he was thinking.

"The by-product of sweet potato, the vine, is only worth 1G, but it can be used as a fresh vegetable. This system never expected it."

Recalling when I brought out the plate of stir-fried sweet potato seedlings with green garlic, Hu Xiaoer and Wang Bing stared, hehehe,

Therefore, the children in the rural areas are in charge of the family early, and they know a lot.

After the sweet potatoes are harvested, the old sweet potato vines can be fed to pigs, and the tender sweet potato leaves can be picked off, fried with garlic, and sprinkled with salt. It is a tender and delicious vegetable.

This is also the first time that people in the village can eat vegetables, which can enrich the menu in the village.

Even the people in the metropolis don't know this method, they only know how to plan sweet potatoes, but the main reason is that their sweet potatoes are completely incomparable with Lin Guiyao, who has been systematically domesticated.

Sweet potatoes are indeed delicious. They can be eaten raw as a fruit, and cooked ones can be roasted or boiled. The sweet potato syrup made can be sweeter than first love without even adding sugar. It is currently the only sweet food in the village, loved by adults and children .

But the profit is not very stable, jumping between breakeven and 50G, plus a 30-day maturity period, so potatoes still have the highest profit.

"So at present, potatoes should be classified as the first economic crop, and as the highest priority crops, sweet potatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers should be planted as seasonings, and wheat and millet should be planted in large areas when G coins are sufficient. "

Putting the ax away, Lin Guiyao waved to Lin Zhen, who was standing aside, and asked him to bring over the wheat flour ground by Lao Huang.

Lin Guiyao shook his head after stretching out his hand to pick up some wheat flour and rubbing it.

"It's still too rough. Tell Lao Huang to adjust the stone mill again. What I need is wheat flour, not sand."

With the pedal machine tool and some tool parts exchanged from the metropolis, the village gradually made some simple tools by itself, and the stone mill was one of them.

Those in charge of making these tools are technicians selected from core villagers, captives and refugees.

Of course, the core villagers work on the dam, and the captives can only be in the outer city, and they are only responsible for some manual processing work.

The technicians responsible for researching Lin Guiyao's ideas are collectively called the Research Department, and the carpenter Lao Huang is in charge.

"By the way, what happened to the septic tank? Is the airtightness still not good?"

Lin Zhen nodded, and handed Lin Guiyao a towel,
"Mr. Huang said that the water sealing technology you proposed has already been figured out, but the airway can't find a suitable material..."

"Okay, I get it."

Shaking his head, Lin Guiyao had an idea when he saw the straw.

He remembered an artifact he had seen in the countryside: a biogas digester.

Only need things like feces and plant stalks, after closed fermentation, methane, a combustible gas, can be produced, which can be used as fuel, and the fermented product can also be used as fertilizer.

Mature technology can even make biogas lamps, and even biogas power generation.

Of course, just think about it later, but the fuel is still very attractive and easy to achieve.

He has plenty of pig and human excrement, and straw from the wheat harvest is also on the way. As long as he can overcome this biogas digester problem,
At that time, they would no longer have to worry about the issue of fuel. After all, the sword pine had almost been cut down, and the accumulated pine needles did not know how long it would last.

However, this problem should be solved soon, because Xiao Hong and the others, who went out to trade with Roger, are back again.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's drink some water first."

"Um,"

After gulping a few sips of water, Wang Bing pointed to the pile of things carried by Xu Shilang and Chen Elong.

"The potatoes sent to Roger last week were sold out in one day, and the 12 dividends we got, we also tried our best to purchase them back according to the list you wrote, the village chief."

Taking out a piece of crumpled yellow paper, Wang Bing glanced at it and continued to speak,
"It's just that there are a few things on the list. According to Roger, it's not that they don't have them, but those are not for sale at all, so he can't help it."

Lin Guiyao frowned. Everything on the list has a great effect, and it would be difficult for him to accept anything less.

However, in most cities, people have big businesses and big businesses, and with a small body like my own, I can’t negotiate terms with others.

As soon as this idea came up, Wang Bing's next sentence made him stand up:
"There is one more thing, the metropolis will ask you, the village chief, to bring 100 million metropolitan coins within one month to register their territory in their Third Ring District."

"The official also said that if you don't go, you will bear the consequences."
