Chapter 77 Chun Peng's
narrow face is covered with beard, and his curly flaxen hair hangs down on his shoulders. At first glance, he looks like a homeless man.
This is the mayor of Snake Head Town and the patriarch of the Black Snake Family.
Muhans Black Snake.
2nd level fantasy beast knight.
"Welcome all farmers to attend the spring plowing coordination meeting." Muhans's face was a little pale, as if he had overindulged.
You can't see the elegance that a fantasy beast knight should have in him.
Even his mental appearance is not as good as that of ordinary knights on the street, his speech is weak and weak, and he lacks the majesty of a superior.
On the contrary, inadvertently, it will reveal a cold texture like a poisonous snake: "There are a total of 142 farms with owners in the four directions of southeast, northwest, some have been operating for many years, and some have just started. Everyone hopes to have a good life." Harvest."
There was a pause.
Mayor Muhans said calmly: "I also hope that everyone can have a good harvest, but this is a matter for the future. Starting from spring plowing this year, all farms must set aside half of their area to plant Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit. The seeds are provided by Snake The first tower will distribute them uniformly."
Although the voice was dull, the content was exciting.
“Save half of the area for planting Physalis Xerox Fruit?” A farmer couldn’t help but ask at that time, “Mayor Muhans, our farm is already full, can we wait until autumn sowing before planting Physalis Xerox Fruit? Fruit?"
"No."
"Is there any subsidy for the shoveled crops?" "
No."
"Isn't this cruel to us?" This
is what Duke wanted to say.
He spent a lot of gold dragons to plant a hundred acres of wheat seedlings. Now that the wheat seedlings have not grown up, shoveling them is no different than cutting off the flesh.
"I can understand your difficulties, and I wouldn't be willing to do this, but this is not something that our Snake Head Tower can decide, nor is it something that our Black Snake Family can decide." Mayor Muhans shook his head. His tone was still unhurried.
"Who can decide that?" someone asked.
"That's a good question. I can only tell you that it was decided by this pioneering war. I believe you have all heard about the second safe passage and the encounter with burrowing army ants. In fact, it is not just the second safe passage, the entire A large number of burrowing army ants were discovered in Cuihai Valley."
The burrowing army ants are the weakest third-level spirit beasts, but their defense power is invincible due to the continuous stacking of the first-level arcane spell - Mud Armor in numbers.
Once the mercenary group falls into it, they will be completely wiped out.
"In order to pacify Cuihai Valley as soon as possible, the Shenjiao City Development War Headquarters will dispatch 0-ring spirit beasts - Acid Cantharis from various places to use the special acid of Acid Cantharis to corrode the mud armor skills of the burrowing army ants. The acid cantharides must be fed Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit, which can only be supplied by our Sheshou Town." "
Mayor Mayor, there are still many farms in the south of Xiaohewan that have not yet been cultivated. Why not use these new farms to grow Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit? "
Who says it's not necessary? When the spring plowing comes, all the unsold Xiaohewan Farms will be planted with Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit." "
Uh..."
The farmers hesitated for a moment.
Soon someone asked again: "Mr. Mayor, can't we supply it from Shenjiao City or surrounding market towns first? It may be a better way to wait for us to harvest this season's crops and then plant Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit. What do you think? What?"
"Acid Cantharis can only produce special acid in the body by eating the freshest Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit. Therefore, it must be planted on the farm in Sheshou Town, which is the nearest distance." Muhans said probably impatiently He waved his hand and said, "That's all for this meeting. During the spring plowing, all of you will come to the Snake Head Tower to collect the seeds."
Don't give the farmers a chance to refuse.
Muhans Black Snake stood up directly and walked out of the conference room without looking back.
After he left, the meeting room exploded, and the farmers complained that it was too cruel to free up half of the fields.
"It's life-threatening!"
"No, I just planted wheat before winter. If I plow out half of it, I'll go bankrupt!" "I still
have one-third of the vacant land. Oh, let's deduct some from other crops. Come out, this is the only thing we can do."
"Do the higher-ups really not regard us as human beings?" "
Who calls us spiritual plant envoys? We have no ability except farming, so we can bully anyone." "
Fuck me, I'm going to bully you The farm is sold, and I will go back to work as a long-term laborer." A farmer with a 0-ring spirit plant spread his hands, feeling hopeless.
Duke chimed in.
But he wasn't that distressed. After all, the main source of making money had been working with Captain Zina to repair cards, and the farm had become a sideline.
Unfortunately, complaining is useless.
These more than 100 farmers have to either accept it or be out. There is no third option.
When Duke returned to the villa, Sally immediately asked about the meeting. When she learned that half of the wheat seedlings had to be eradicated, she was so distressed that she cursed.
Aunt Abby also yelled at the sky.
Levine was silent, but clearly in a bad mood.
"Don't be so depressed. I still have the capital. It's a rule issued by Shenjiao City to uproot wheat seedlings and plant Physalis Xuelingguo. If you can't resist, just obey." Duke optimistically reassured everyone, "In addition, you guys will spend the next two days. Follow me and move the Lingzhi wheat away first."
Plunder fifty acres of wheat seedlings. The ordinary wheat seedlings among them don't matter, but the Lingzhi wheat seedlings must be retained.
Breathing method while hanging up the phone.
Duke's side marked 0 ring spirit and planted wheat seedlings.
Sally followed with a group of temporary farm workers to dig out wheat seedlings and put them into a tricycle. Levin transported the wheat seedlings one by one to the other side of the farm and replanted them in the wheat field.
Fifty acres of land is not a small amount, and it took everyone two days to transplant the wheat seedlings.
After doing this.
A farming team was invited to come over and plow out all fifty acres of wheat seedlings, open ridges and ditches, and prepare for the cultivation of Physalis Xuelingguo.
...
In a blink of an eye, the coldest January has passed.
By the end of February, the weather is gradually getting warmer and the flowers are blooming.
The spring plowing in Snake Head Town has officially begun, and the staff of Snake Head Tower also notified each farm to go to Snake Head Tower to collect Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit seeds.
This batch of Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit seeds are all seeds left behind by 0-ring spirit plants.
Only by signing a contract can you receive the seeds, and then each farm will be responsible for the cultivation and growth process, and the harvested fruits will be arranged by the town.
"Don't worry, the town will not let the farm suffer. When the Physalis Xueling fruit matures, it will be recovered at half the price on the market. If the Physalis cantharis goes directly to the farm to eat, it will be compensated at a unified standard, no more than your income from growing other crops. Less."
The staff said it nicely, but the farmers who signed the contract didn't believe it.
If the town really cared about everyone's interests, it would not be able to directly require all farms to set aside half of their space to grow Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit without any compensation.
"I have put the farm up for sale. I don't want to reap the benefits of starting a war. It's better to move to another place to make a stable living."
A farmer said after signing the contract, as if he was breaking a pot.
Duke didn't answer.
He didn't quite believe that the other party would abandon the farm he had cultivated for many years, which was why the town took care of the farmer at will. Many farmers have invested their entire life savings in the farm. No matter how harsh the conditions are, they cannot give up the farm.
