The farmers were not stupid. They knew what it meant for a grid of water to moisten 80 square meters.
The irrigation method they had used before was very stupid. One row of crops and one row of water were placed repeatedly. If they followed this method, there would be four rows of water with a length of nine squares in the 81 square meters, and the remaining five rows would be crops.
If Zhao Hao could plant 80 plots of the same plot of land, they could only plant slightly more than half of it.
Zhao Hao said that they needed so many people to plow the fields. It was troublesome for them to harvest, let alone efficiency.
"Every household has an iron bucket now, right? I'll bury all the waterways from before and change them to mine. The crops in this world responded to any light, and the fire could speed up the growth of crops at night.”
The farmers, who had previously been very disdainful of Zhao Hao, instantly gave him a thumbs up. He was an expert! It was no wonder that they found that crops grew faster in places with light than in places without torches.
After the renovation, Zhao Hao was not satisfied. He pointed at the farmland outside the city and said,""There's no need to expand the farmland that far. We just need to build a layer of soil on top of the farmland.”
The farmers looked at each other, not knowing what Zhao Hao was talking about.
"Forget it, I'll show you. Since he had come to this world, he shouldn't keep thinking like he did on Earth. Most of the cubes in this world could float.”
Zhao Hao erected a four-meter-tall pillar with the soil cube and started laying the second layer. It was the same size as the underground farmland, 9x9.
Then, he placed a cube below and made a sink. After going up, he poured water and hoed the ground. It was another field.
Seeing this, the farmer came to a realization. Since the plants in this world could photosynthesize and grow as long as there was light, wouldn't it be more convenient to build a farmland building?
In this way, the porters would not have to travel thousands of miles to deliver food to the farmers.
Yuriko, who had been watching from the side, was secretly shocked. She knew the consequences of doing so. If they followed Zhao Hao's instructions and changed the fields to this style, they would be able to reduce the number of porters and farmers by at least two-thirds!
What kind of concept was this? By reducing the number of farmers, they could feed more than 10,000 people. At that time, there would be thousands of idle people in Fang City. They could become mobilized soldiers, craftsmen, raise poultry, and transform into various occupations.
It could end the current situation where all the residents of Fang City were farmers.
Without hesitation, Yuriko waved her hand and said,""Do as he says!"
"Then City Lord, what about the farmland outside?”
"Give up all of them. I believe you don't like to go to dangerous areas to farm all day, right?”
All the Farmers felt that Yuriko's words made sense, especially when they were walking on the farmland at night. It would be fun if zombies or Skeleton Archers jumped out from time to time.
After giving her instructions, Yuriko looked at Zhao Hao and said,""Young man, you can command how you want to build it.”
"That's simple. According to my 9x9 standard, a farmland building will have a total of nine fields. It will have three floors and a well beside it.”
Zhao Hao had also observed that the water in this world would be absorbed by the farmland, but the speed was very slow. It seemed that it would use about one grid of water a day. It was quite convenient to store a well.
Without another word, everyone began to follow Zhao Hao's instructions.
After all, no one liked to travel far away. A piece of land could produce three fields of the same size, so it was easier to gather people to work.
Zhao Hao was busy guiding them to build the farmland building and wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"The first demonstration farmland building is finally done.”
It looked quite spectacular. There were nine plots of land on each level, which was about one mu of land. It was quite large.
The light source was a pumpkin lantern, which was enough to provide photosynthesis for the crops on the floor.
After the farm building was finally built, Zhao Hao did not stay idle. He hurried back to his manor in the swamp.
As soon as he entered, he saw a few aboriginal girls standing guard at the door with guns on their backs. When they saw Zhao Hao, they quickly knelt on one knee and said,"Master, welcome back."
"Cough, no need to be polite."
After passing through the door, Zhao Hao saw Takeshi Rei, whose face was covered in mud, and Juchuan Shizuka, who was on guard with a gun.
"Li-chan, what are you doing?"
"Me? I was tortured to death by the sand you brought back!”
Takeshi Ri pointed at the Soul Sand at the side, which was filled with hell warts for refining medicine.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing.""I say, can't you put up wooden planks at a certain distance as a path?”
Soul sand was extremely disgusting when walking on it. Countless vengeful spirits stretched out their hands from inside to wrap around your feet, causing your walking speed to be severely slowed down. This was one of the specialties that Zhao Hao brought back from hell.
"Besides, hell warts don't need light or water. You can just dig a hole and plant it underground.”
"Xiao Tian! Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me busy the entire afternoon and get tortured by the soul sand.”Takeshi wanted to cry but had no tears. She had worked hard all afternoon for nothing.
"Let's not talk about this first. How many hell warts have you produced in an afternoon?”
Takeshi Ryu opened her phone and glanced at it."I spent the entire afternoon with the others and harvested about five groups.”
Zhao Hao did some calculations. There were 320 in the five groups. However, there were more than 10,000 people in Fang City. It was not a big deal to gather a few hundred Spider Eyes.
He immediately called Xaya and asked her to bring over a bunch of Spider Eyes and gunpowder.
He also hurriedly turned the two sets of Flaming Sticks into a pill refining table. That scale was simply sour and refreshing!
The girls had built a collective canteen, and Zhao Hao had filled the entire alchemy table.
However, it was easy to get the materials. Now that Zhao Hao had given the order, the coolies began to dig the sand while the craftsmen in the city sat in front of the furnace and baked the glass bottles.
There was strength in numbers. Originally, it would take a person a few days to do the work, but they sent boxes of glass bottles in an hour.
After all the materials were prepared, Zhao Hao beckoned to Takeshi Rei and Juchuan Shizuka.""Come, I'll teach you how to refine medicine."
