Chapter IV Status of the Territory
"I'm your new lord, you can call me the lord of the Rubik's Cube. I'm going to give you today's work, but before that, I'm going to ask you something about the tribal territory, and you'll have to answer it truthfully. ”
After Chen Bing finished observing, he had a bottom in his heart before he said to the inhabitants of the 10 territories.
"Yes, my lord." The 10 residents replied in unison, and one of them was a little younger, and quietly looked at Chen Bing and Princess Shelley out of the corner of his eye.
"Buck, you're an old fisherman, our territory is in the bay, and seafood is very important to us, so I'd like to know a little bit about that. As far as I know, the sea has abundant fish food, but why is you the only fisherman in the territory, and there is no fish in the territory? ”
Chen Bing was the first to ask the old fisherman, Buck.
When Buck heard this, his expression darkened: "Lord Hui, the situation is not what you imagined. It is not easy to fish in the sea, even if you are an experienced fisherman, you can only succeed three or four times in 10 times because you don't have good tools, and I can only succeed 1 or 2 times out of 10. Because they have to fish in the sea every day, the fish in the bay will soon know that there is danger in this area, and they will avoid coming to this part of the bay either because they are washed by the waves. Marine fish are very sensitive to the movement around the ocean, and if a hunt fails, the surrounding fish will be alarmed and flee together, and there will be no fish to catch in a short time. ”
"So don't look at the bay is huge, but in fact there are only three or four fishermen that can accommodate it, and any more would be meaningless. Originally, there were two fishermen in our tribe, but a few days ago the pirates attacked, and Jerry was robbed by the pirates. Jerry, he's younger than me, and his fishing ability is much better than mine, and if you can save Jerry, my tribe's daily fishing income will be much higher. ”
"Buck, don't be rude, the lord will decide what he wants to do, you don't need to talk too much!" When the old apprentice priest Bane heard this, he said to the old fisherman Buck with a straight face.
"It's okay, I'm new to the city and I don't know a lot of things. If you have any needs, you can ask me, and even if I don't agree, I won't blame you. On the contrary, if the proposal is good and beneficial to the development of the territory, I will reward you. ”
Chen Bing waved his hand and said to Bane and Buck.
"Yes, my lord!"
The 10 residents looked at each other and spoke in unison.
[System: +1 prestige in your territory, +2 resident loyalty!] 】
His prestige and loyalty have increased, but the number is not much, and it is estimated that although his words have made these residents have some confidence in him, most of them are also in a wait-and-see state.
"Buck, do you know where those pirates live? How many of them are there? Chen Bing then asked.
Rescuing Jerry is a mission, and if he can be rescued successfully, Jerry can come back, not to mention increasing the grain production of the territory, and his prestige will also be greatly improved.
"I don't know, those pirates have ships, and they often attack when we are few or in the middle of the night. As far as I know, there are 5 to 20 pirates, and each of them is good at fighting, and the only one of us who can fight with pirates is Powa, and the rest have little fighting ability, and they can only flee when they see pirates. But Pova alone is no match for a group of pirates, fortunately those pirates will not catch up too far ashore, as long as we find it early, we can still escape, but last time, Pova was too unlucky, the pirates attacked at night, he fled without seeing the road clearly, tripped over a stone, and was captured by the pirates. ”
Buck replied, roughly talking about the situation of the pirates, and the combat effectiveness of the lord's inhabitants.
Powa was the spearman, thirty-one years old.
"Buck, how many fish can you catch in a day right now? If you were given better fishing tools, would you be able to increase the number of fish? ”
Powa was holding a wooden gun that looked fairly sharp, and Buck was holding a wooden fishing fork, which was not very sharp.
At the beginning of the game, the civilization level of the territory is the Stone Age, and the production tools are extremely backward.
Buck's success rate in fishing is so low, and it has to do with tools.
As for Buck's fishing fork, even if the fork hits the fish, it may not be able to keep the fish, and the success rate can be high.
"Back to my lordship, I can now catch food for 2 to 5 people a day. Of course, if you can have a sharp fishing fork like some big territories, the number of fish caught will definitely increase a lot, and I am confident that I still have that! ”
Buck replied immediately.
"Very good, I know your situation, wait a minute, I'll surprise you." Chen Bing nodded.
The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea.
It's just that in the Stone Age, under extremely primitive conditions, it is not feasible to eat the sea by the sea.
But Chen Bing is not a primitive person, he is a prepared adventurer.
"Andrew, how much food can you four hunters hunt in a day? Will it be dangerous? ”
Chen Bing then looked at the four hunters.
Of the four Orions, one was older, the other three were all younger, and the older one was named Andrew.
"Back to my lord, under normal circumstances, we can hunt 6 to 10 people's food a day, as long as we don't encounter those ferocious large beasts, with our experience, nothing will happen. Of course, many beasts have attack power, and we can get injured from time to time, but with Bane's sacrifice, small injuries are not a big problem, even if you don't rest, you can recover in a day or two. ”
Andrew replied respectfully.
Buck serves 2 to 5 people a day, and Orion serves 6 to 10 people a day.
That is to say, if you are not very lucky, the food you get in a day is still not enough to consume, and you need to supplement it with the food given by Chen Bing's system.
Of course, on an average basis, it is impossible to be so unlucky all the time, and in fact, the food consumption of the tribe will remain basically balanced.
But that's just the ideal.
Don't forget, this is the Stone Age, not hard work can be rewarded, primitive people want to eat and have to look at the face of the sky.
If it rains heavily, the hunters can't hunt and the fishermen can't catch fish, that day is basically zero income.
In addition, there are unexpected events such as injuries and assaults, which can affect revenue.
If you want to balance your income in one day, and don't want to increase your income, the territory will have no future.
In order to attract more inhabitants and allow the wildlings to join the territory, the territory must have enough food income.
Otherwise, the arrival of the savages will directly reduce the loyalty of the original villagers.
The reason is simple, none of them can guarantee that they will be fed, and the lord has to recruit wild people who are incapable of working, which naturally makes them insecure.
"I know about your hunters, Amanda, you are farmers, I brought some wheat seeds with me when I came, I wonder if you can take care of growing wheat?"
Chen Bing nodded, and then looked at the two farmers.
Both farmers are middle-aged women, and compared to Orion, they don't have much strength and can't do Orion's work.
"Back to my lord, we can grow wheat, but the area around the bay is not suitable for planting, and we have to go farther away to grow wheat. But if you plant wheat in those places, even if you grow it, it's hard to get it to ripen. Unguarded, hungry birds, and savages will steal all the wheat during the day and night. ”
Amanda hurriedly replied.
"So what do you farmers do on a daily basis?" Chen Bing asked a little surprised.
He knew it would not be easy to grow wheat in the Gulf Territory, but the situation seemed more difficult than he had imagined.
If you are in other territories, I am afraid that you will be able to start planting wheat on the first day of the game, but in the Gulf Territory, you must have enough people to ensure that the wheat will not be stolen, otherwise the effort will be in vain.
"We are usually responsible for picking up some light, repairing some huts, and if we are lucky, we can pick some wild vegetables and come back."
Amanda hesitated for a moment, but her voice was obviously lowered.
It seems that they feel that their contribution to the tribe is small and that they fear being expelled from the tribe.
If you expel the tribe, you will become a wild man, and your life will be completely insecure.
"Wheat has to be grown, and I'll figure out how to keep it safe. After the meal, Amanda and you two don't have to do anything else, just go around the territory and find out the suitable places for planting, as well as fresh water sources, and I will let Powa go out with you, you don't have to worry about safety. ”
Chen Bing thought for a moment and said to Amanda.
Amanda and the other farmer's eyes lit up when they heard this.
If they were to grow wheat, they would have a formal job to do, providing food for the tribe's production.
Chen Bing then asked about the priest Bane and the spearman Powa.
Bane is only a trainee priest, and he can deal with some minor injuries and can do it if he is bad, but the effect will be very poor.
Pova can at most mediate with a wild boar, but he can't kill the wild boar, and when he encounters a larger beast, he can only choose to escape.
"I have a general understanding of the situation, this is the butler I brought, her name is Shelley, she will assist me in managing the construction of this territory in the future, and she is also a chef with advanced cooking skills. Lena, you're the chef of the tribe, and we're going to teach you real cooking skills, and you'll have to learn it well. ”
Chen Bing introduced Princess Shelley to the residents, and then said to everyone.
A chef with advanced cooking skills?
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Being able to cook at a high level means that they can make more delicious food and their physical strength can be better maintained.
Lena was the trainee chef, a woman of her age.
"Yes, my lord!"
Hearing Chen Bing's order, Lena hurriedly replied, and at the same time, her dark eyes were full of anticipation.
In this era, if you can have a good skill in cooking food, you will definitely not have to worry about having no territory, and you don't have to worry about becoming a wild wanderer in the future.
Like Amanda, the two farmers, after listening to Chen Bing's words, couldn't help but look over with envy.
