Chapter 417 Leave The Kidney To...
"Originally, the valley had a population of 2,630. Recently, 1,000 orc refugees came from the orc empire, and 1,400 human refugees from the human empire. After that, Luke sent 1,000 dwarves, and Karen, a businessman, bought back 1,000 Human slaves, so our territory now has a population of 7,000."
"In addition, in the next time, Luke will continue to send 4,000 dwarves. After Karen and others return, they will continue to bring back 1,000 human slaves. By then, the population of our territory will be able to Break through 10,000, reaching 12,000 people."
In the study, Alicia reported the things in the valley to Li Fan with a smile on her face.
Li Fan's revival made her feel that their territory could still be saved.
Although Li Fan felt offended, considering the absurdity of the past few days, he chose to keep his mouth shut and not mention it.
"12,000 people? There are 2,000 people more than estimated."
Li Fan said, and then began to think about the impact of population expansion.
With such a large population, the food consumed is naturally extremely astonishing, especially with the addition of a big black bear recently.
Fortunately, some time ago, a large amount of food had been accumulated in the territory, which according to Alicia's records was enough to support the territory for a period of time.
"It's just that there will be a big trouble soon." Alicia said seriously at this time.
"Trouble?" Li Fan asked worriedly: "What trouble? The year of God's punishment is coming again?"
If the Year of God's Retribution came again, Li Fan would indeed feel a headache. After all, this time was different from before. There were only a few hundred people before, so it was not difficult to arrange. Now there are nearly 10,000 people in the territory.
Alicia shook her head at this time and said: "The appearance of the Year of God's Retribution will only be known if the church announces it, but our trouble is very similar to the Year of God's Retribution, that is, winter will come in a few months. gone."
Li Fan asked a little puzzled: "Why is it troublesome in winter?"
Alicia obviously didn't expect Li Fan to ask such a question, and immediately said: "Don't you know? You can't grow food in winter, and you can't even grow food in the period close to winter. Although this year's winter is not God's punishment Years, but even in ordinary winter, there are still about 5 months of inability to grow food, so what should we do with the food shortage in our territory? This winter is a big test for our territory."
Only then did Li Fan know why Alicia was so anxious to find him.
Li Fan immediately grinned and said, "Who said you can't grow food in winter?"
As Li Fan said, he drew the design of the greenhouse on paper.
Alicia looked at the piece of paper and asked suspiciously, "Is this a glass-covered room?"
Li Fan nodded and said: "Yes, this kind of house is called a greenhouse. With it, you can grow vegetables and food in winter, and the materials needed to build a greenhouse are not auxiliary. You only need a little cement, a lot of glass and steel. That's it."
Among them, steel can be replaced by wood, and the trouble is only glass. After all, what the greenhouse needs is transparent glass.
Fortunately, the firing of glass has been studied in the territory for a long time.
Now as long as there is sand, the dwarves can burn countless pieces of transparent glass.
The transparent glass that is regarded as a treasure outside is worthless in their territory.
Therefore, it is not a problem at all to build a greenhouse of tens of thousands of acres with transparent glass.
...
Alicia had some doubts about the function of this greenhouse, and asked, "Is this kind of greenhouse really useful?"
"It's definitely useful. If you don't believe me, you can ask Big Eyes and Big Ears to help you build a few and try it out." Li Fan said confidently.
Seeing this, Alicia didn't say anything more.
She continued to mention other problems in the territory: "Although food can be grown in winter, 30,000 mu of land is still not enough for us, and the young master also knows that the high frequency of land planting will lead to a decrease in land production. , then we will have less and less food to harvest.”
Then, Alicia continued with a complaining tone: "Young master, you can absorb the population without limit, and you have to exchange food for so many things, 'sinner' dwarves, special metals, materials for purification potions, magic cores , Warcraft cubs, these all need food, and the output of 30,000 mu of land is definitely not enough to support our consumption."
Li Fan also sighed when he heard this.
Absorbing people is the basis for him to become stronger. He will never give up on this matter, but he has no way to explain it.
Li Fan can only find a way to solve the problem of food shortage.
In fact, Li Fan has already thought of two ways.
The first method: exchange [magic crops] with bond value.
This method is simple and effective.
[Level 1 Demonized Potatoes] and [Level 1 Demonized Sweet Potatoes] only need half a month and one month to mature respectively.
It can allow the territory to obtain a large amount of food in a short period of time.
The disadvantage is that it consumes more bond value.
Li Fan glanced at his remaining bond value.
After exchanging [Exquisite Magic] and [Exquisite Fighting Qi], he still had 10,000 bond points left, but after signing in during this period, he now has 53,000 bond points.
In addition, he can get 2,500 bond points by signing in every day.
After all 12,000 people have entered the territory and integrated into the territory, maybe he can get 10,000 bond points by signing in every day.
These fetters are all used to exchange for [level 1 magic crops], which can be exchanged for 700 acres of [magic crops] seedlings in one day, which can survive more than 3 million catties of food within a month.
Looking at it this way, using this method, it is still possible to make the territory survive this winter.
However, this approach has two huge disadvantages.
1: This method will cause Li Fan to be unable to accumulate bond points.
When upgrading the system and exchanging [Section 3 Different Racial Growth Gymnastics], these products require a lot of bond points.
Using all the bond points on food is contrary to his purpose of accumulating population.
2: With this crazy planting method, the fertility of the field will be consumed in large quantities, and the situation of barrenness and yield reduction of the field will be serious, and even the situation of "death" of the field may appear.
By that time, the food shortage will be even more serious.
...
Therefore, Li Fan is more inclined to the second method.
At this moment, Li Fan turned his attention to the mouth of the valley.
His second method is: open up territory.
When new territories are opened up, there will be places to reclaim new fields, thus solving the food problem.
In addition to this, there is another benefit.
Although the valley is big, there is a limit after all. Tens of thousands of people can live there. However, according to the current population expansion rate of the territory, it is estimated that the entire valley will be full of people in a short time.
Opening up the territory in advance can also prevent the problem of overcrowding.
It can be said that opening up territory is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
Li Fan immediately asked Alicia to call everyone to discuss the matter.
...
In the study, everyone who was summoned suddenly did not speak, but looked at Li Fan with strange expressions.
Although no one has publicized the matter between Li Fan and Anna and Ying, Li Fan has been so depraved these days that everyone in the valley knows about it.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Li Fan with mocking expressions.
Aoki, Bai Qi, and the four old guys with big eyes and big ears even said something to Li Fan with emotion.
"It's nice to be young, but young people need to know how to control themselves!"
As soon as the words came out, most of the people present laughed out loud.
Even if Li Fan's skin is thick enough, he still wants to give these four old guys a pair of panda eyes at this time.
Fortunately, Anna and Ying did not participate in this meeting, otherwise Li Fan would not be able to sleep in their bed for several days after being teased like this.
The only person present who didn't make a joke about Li Fan was iron-headed.
However, Li Fan was taken aback by seeing Tie Tou's appearance at this time.
It's just that I haven't seen each other for ten days. The iron head, who was originally as strong as an iron tower, has lost a lot of weight at this time, and his face looks haggard.
After Li Fan asked, he found out from the people around him that Xue Ji had been looking for Tie Tou more frequently recently.
Li Fan was a little annoyed at first, but Tietou himself smiled and said to him: "Young master, it's okay...it's okay, it's worth the hard work of my old cow."
As he said that, the idiot Tietou gave him a 'you understand' expression.
Li Fan was also speechless for a while, and could only helplessly say to Hui Yu: "Some of the magical beasts raised in captivity should have grown up, kill some, remember to leave the kidneys for Tietou...and me."
After finishing speaking, Li Fan touched his aching waist secretly, then took out a map and started today's business.
Everyone looked at the map, and then realized that it was a map of the sinful forest.
Li Fan pointed to the location of their territory on the map, and said: "This valley is our territory. There are mountains on three sides, and the only exit is guarded by a city gate. This excellent terrain has made our territory never invaded." We have been attacked by monsters, but there is a large dense forest when we exit the valley, and there must be some monsters hidden in the forest, which has caused all our production to stay in the valley."
Li Fan said loudly at this time: "Therefore, I plan to open up new territories."
