The Elven Survival Handbook.

Nowadays, the fields outside the Magic Castle can no longer be explored with a pair of feet. If someone could see the entire Veve continent from outer space, the green in the golden sand sea would be like a piece of cake on the pie when the elves first planted it. You can't even find a sesame seed without looking carefully.

Now it has changed from sesame to soybean. Although it is still small, it can no longer be ignored.

Naturally, such a large area of ​​farmland and flower fields cannot only be taken care of by the more than 1000 people I bought before.

A lot of labor is needed here, but buying slaves is not a good idea. The Demon King promised that the elves would minimize the existence of slaves, and naturally he would not make the slave trade more prosperous by purchasing, so in the end he chose to hire.

There are not many tribes close to the golden sand sea. The closest one to them is Guma, which was the first human tribe to be occupied by monsters. However, the occupied Guma people did not put up any resistance. After the succubus took over the original When the animals belonging to the leader of the Guma tribe were distributed to them, when the wasteland around the tribe suddenly turned into a green space overnight, with fruit-bearing Elaeagnus trees everywhere, they regarded these outsiders as new people. Master, sincerely accepted the rule of the Demon King.

So when the new clan leader asked them all to move, although the Guma people were panicking, they still packed up all their belongings and followed the team towards the golden sand sea.

At that time, the golden sand sea was not as hot as it is today. Although the walk was difficult, they were not short of water or food along the way. They successfully climbed the sand dunes and entered the beautiful green world after a few days.

That was the first time they had seen such a beautiful place. The purple flowers all over the ground were not only beautiful but seemed to be growing pasture. Without them driving them, the camels and sheep they brought automatically ran up to enjoy the delicious food.

There are dug ditches beside the flower fields. Unlike the turbid water they drank in the tribe, the water in it is so clear that you can even drink it directly. It is so clean that there is no trace of meaning.

After the flower fields, the large farmland attracted their attention. Even if they had never seen the plants with fruits, they could guess that these were crops. People who had never seen so many fields were shocked. They When I was in the tribe, I would farm for the clan leader, but no field had ever grown as well as here.

There were many slaves working in those worlds, but if it weren't for the slave marks on their bodies, the Guma people would not believe that these people could be slaves. Each of them looked very healthy, and their bodies grew stronger because they did not have to starve. He has a lot of clothes on his body, and looks stronger and stronger than the Guma people. He is wearing clothes made from old clothes collected from the monsters - our vampire manager is really not an ordinary person who makes the best use of things - those clothes For monsters, it is something to throw away, but for slaves and poor people, it is a good thing that they have never thought of. Just look at the envious eyes of the Guma people when they look at the clothes on these slaves. .

When they knew that they would settle down here, everyone wanted to cheer to express their excitement.

There is no need to suffer from the scorching sun, no need to worry about running out of water, and looking at the looks of the slaves, you can tell that they will not be hungry. For these Guma people who may starve to death due to lack of food at any time, there is no better place than here. place.

Although the patriarch also said that they have to work here every day, but in the past they were busy from morning to night every day but could still starve to death. But now they still have to work but can feed themselves and their families, which is enough for them. .

Not only the Guma tribe were moved here, but also other tribes that were occupied by monsters near the Golden Sand Sea.

No matter what their thoughts were before arriving, after seeing this huge "oasis", no one complained or felt uneasy anymore.

The monsters chose a place to live for each tribe based on its population, and divided the surrounding fields for them to take care of. These people had only herded cattle and never farmed, so at the beginning, slaves who were good at farming would come to teach them. Until they get started.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of these people, the monsters who responded to them also told them that if they took good care of the fields, then when the harvest came, they could get one-twentieth of the grain in the fields they took care of.

Don't think that this one-twentieth of the food is less.

In the era of the elves, the average yield of potatoes and corn per mu had exceeded 10000 kilograms.

The corn and potatoes grown in these fields were taken out by the elves from the seed treasure chest, and the seeds in the seed treasure chest were all the best of the same kind, not to mention new varieties that had been improved by the elves to better adapt to the environment here.

Although the potatoes and corn they grow here are bound to have a reduced yield due to a lack of planting experience, sufficient fertilizer, and high-tech help, no matter how much the yield is reduced, as long as they take care of it carefully, water it frequently, and fertilize it frequently, one acre of land can produce 5000 kilograms of grain is completely guaranteed.

Based on this figure, one-twentieth of an acre of land can contain at least 250 kilograms of grain. However, given the harsh environment of the Vivian continent's year-round water shortage, the yield per mu of fields in other places may not even be this amount, let alone theirs. Fields often lose their harvest due to drought.

With 250 kilograms of grain, people like them who are hungry all year round may not necessarily be able to eat this much food in their mouths in a year.

&n

bsp;What's more, leaving aside corn, potatoes can mature in about three months. Not to mention four seasons a year, but two and three seasons can still be achieved. After three seasons, they will only get more food in a year.

And this is only the food allocated to one acre of land. When the monsters divide the fields, they calculate it according to an adult taking care of five acres of land, while minors over 14 years old need to take care of two acres of land, and younger children need to take care of two acres of land. No work will be arranged.

This means that if there are two adults in a family, they can get at least one-twentieth of the grain in ten acres of land, which is [-] kilograms. This much grain can feed three or five people. The kids are enough.

What's more, the poorer the family, the more likely they are to have more children. Families that can avoid starving to death basically have several adult laborers, and a large family can only get more food.

These people didn't understand these principles at first. When they arrived, the corns were just small seedlings and had no time to bloom and bear fruit. The potatoes were all growing in the soil. All they saw was green, and no one knew. Know what amazing yields these crops can produce.

But they were still excited about the fact that they would share the food among them.

The life of ordinary people in the tribe is not much better than that of slaves. They work for the masters, and their wages are pitiful. Sometimes they can't even fill their stomachs.

Originally they just wanted to work hard to fill their bellies, but now they can not only fill their bellies but also get some extra food, and no one is unhappy.

Therefore, the settlement of these people went surprisingly smoothly, and no one made any trouble at all. The monsters who originally wanted to catch a few thorny monsters and rectify them saw that they were sleeping well, so they gave up the plan.

When the elves returned to the Magic Castle, it happened to be the time when the first batch of potatoes was about to mature.

The elf also wanted to see how many acres of potatoes these people could grow, so he came to see them during the harvest.

Originally, all the things needed to be harvested could be accomplished by using earth magic monsters to turn over the ground with their fingers. However, now that the monsters are busy unifying the continent, most of them have been sent out. The remaining monsters each have their own actions, so where is the time? Come dig the ground.

Moreover, farming is the job of these humans, and it’s not like the elves need manpower, so asking them to help these humans is too cheap.

The monsters all agreed that since the land has been handed over to these humans to take care of, they should let them harvest by themselves when it comes to harvesting. They are a little tired, but this is their job, and they can also enjoy the joy of the harvest. , understand what kind of benefits the Magic Castle gave them.

Because they knew that the demon king and the elves were coming, the monsters responsible for managing these humans waited until they arrived before letting the people who couldn't wait to start taking action.

These humans who farm have long known that the plant called potato grows underground. When they usually tend the fields, water and loosen the soil, they will accidentally turn over some potatoes that are buried shallowly, and they know what they look like. .

Now that they heard it was time to dig, everyone immediately picked up the tools and started harvesting.

Everyone has been taught how to harvest potatoes a long time ago. The weaker old people use sickles to cut off the withered plants, while the stronger adults and men use hoes to dig deep into the soil and remove the potatoes buried in the ground together with the soil. The potatoes were dug out, and the children who followed them cleaned the potatoes out of the soil and placed them on the ground to dry.

But when they saw the fruits growing densely together under the first plant they dug out, which were bigger than their fists, everyone was shocked.

No one thought that so many fruits could grow under these low-looking plants. This is just one plant, how many other fruits would there be?

Everyone's eyes lit up, but they always remembered what the monsters said back then, that they had a share of this food.

Thinking about the acres of land that you are responsible for taking care of, and then thinking about the ones assigned to other people in the family, the people who work become harder and harder without anyone urging them.

No one is lazy, and no one complains about being tired. Even the young children are doing their work very hard and seriously, and they all understand what these inconspicuous, lump-like fruits represent.

As more and more potatoes were placed on the plowed fields, everyone could not stop smiling.

Many people laughed and burst into tears.

As long as the monsters don't regret it, the food that will be distributed to them will be enough for all of them to eat for a year and there will still be some leftover.

They no longer have to worry about going hungry. They can sell the extra food to the Magic Castle. The money earned can buy various necessities for the family and even make new clothes for the children.

Really good.

The author has something to say: The yield per mu of potatoes, corn, etc. is not calculated according to the current yield per mu. I thought it was 2333 after all, and the yield per mu would definitely be more at that time.

Dear friends, it’s the end of the month, don’t waste your nutrient solution and give it to me (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
