Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality
Chapter 137 Climate and Farming (Updated)
"How is the temperature changing recently?"
Ji Lin turned his eyes to his deputy standing in front of him, Chongshan, the person in charge of the construction and planning of the prefecture.
After he sorted out the latest production report, his eyes fell on the somewhat gloomy sky outside the window, as if he wanted to see the sun blocked by the clouds through the clouds. In the distant streets, people wearing brown linen clothes were walking in groups of three or two. The tailor shop had not yet popularized new clothes to the entire prefecture because of the lack of materials.
Buying cotton is too expensive, but the cotton in the prefecture will be harvested soon, and then the tailor shop in the prefecture can start work and sew brand new clothes.
He heard Ji Lin's question and answered.
"The temperature is a little low. According to the current temperature drop, we may need to give new coats to the people."
According to the seasons on Earth, it is autumn now, and the temperature drops slightly in autumn.
There are three seasons in a year. After autumn, it will be winter.
On Blue Star, the autumn harvest is often around autumn, in late August.
In ancient times, there was no special method for accurate temperature measurement. Although there were tools such as ice bottles, they were also tools for dealing with large temperature changes, but large temperature changes can also be felt by human body perception.
It would be great if there was a storm bottle, at least the temperature change and weather change could be more obvious.
With a mechanical clock, we know the time, but we don't know the temperature and weather changes.
Ji Lin sighed.
Although the ancients had their own set of weather observation methods, the empirical science accumulated from long-term experience, in another region, I don’t know how much of this experience can be trusted.
Moreover, Ji Lin really didn’t know how the ancients understood the weather conditions in the next few days or even a month by observing astronomical phenomena.
As far as their body sensations were concerned, after the beginning of autumn, the temperature began to slowly drop, and they could often feel a little chill in the weather.
The temperature did not change much, and they could continue to farm.
In Ji Lin’s memory, wheat and rice were quite cold-resistant. Only ginger, carrots and sugarcane were relatively poor in cold resistance. Once the temperature began to drop, large areas of death were likely to occur.
In winter, only wheat and rice were sown as staple foods.
This is their first year here, and they cannot be sure of the temperature change. The first year is always the most difficult.
The climate of each territory is different. Although the climate of everyone is roughly on the same level, at least the temperature will be relatively suitable for planting crops. The temperature that is not suitable for planting crops will receive subsidies provided by the system - some special crops suitable for the local environment.
Green plants that can grow slowly even in ice and snow.
Statistical joke, if the average temperature in the area drops by one degree, then there will always be a place that can drop by 10 degrees or even 20 degrees.
The lords struggled to summarize the changing rules of temperature and precipitation in the territory in the first year, and then determined it in the second year and planted suitable crops, and developed the agriculture of the territory step by step.
Ji Lin has sufficient fresh water and does not have to rely on the weather for food. This alone makes him start much better than other lords.
Climate, climate...
It's really unpredictable.
"By the way, the problem of water shortage in residential areas mentioned earlier requires the construction of an artificial river with a length of at least 4.5 kilometers and a width of three meters."
Ji Lin tapped the edge of the table and asked Chongshan.
"After the autumn harvest, I think we can start letting the people try to dig."
Using wooden and stone tools to build an artificial river, a hoe can only turn up a little soil. The progress in a day is only a little bit, and the soil can kill the leader.
Nowadays, the gradual popularization of iron tools has made the speed of the people carrying out engineering construction incomparable to the past. Sharp and light iron tools can cut the enemy's body, and can also turn up the thick soil to create their own artificial river.
Even so, a 4.5-kilometer-long artificial river is still a test for the production of the leader.
Four and a half kilometers long, three meters wide, two meters deep, and twenty-seven thousand tons of soil.
According to the assumption that one worker digs one ton of soil per hour, mobilizing five hundred workers and working eight hours a day, it only takes about a day to complete. Well... this is not unacceptable. Of course, considering that the soil needs to be transported, the efficiency will be much lower than the ideal state, and it will take more time.
But there is no choice, the residential area built this place. If it wants to continue to develop, it must obtain fresh water from other places. The medium-sized lake that has accompanied them since the beginning of the land has gradually shown signs of fatigue and has begun to shrink.
For this reason, they also used iron tools to dig several wells to cope with the current growing water demand. It is unknown how long the water resources can be used by these three thousand people.
A river can support a large population.
It can support a prosperous city.
Ji Lin had never seen snowflakes flying, but he thought it was not bad if he didn't see them. If snowflakes were flying, the temperature in the territory would be close to zero degrees.
At that time, the growth rate of crops would be greatly affected, but the seeds of some plants seemed to actively dormant until the end of winter, and then broke out of the soil and began to grow when the temperature rose, and could be harvested in summer.
However, the current territory can only be regarded as a slightly prosperous town, far from the standard of a city.
He has already issued an order to the dean, asking him to see if he can first select a few talented people from the current batch of awakened talents in the territory to be trained as rune craftsmen apprentices. Now that the territory has stable lighting at night with the help of rune lamps, the comfort of the entire territory has been greatly improved.
The pale white light lit up as the night fell, reflecting on the solid and simple wooden houses.
A thousand rune lamps are too many. In order to prevent them from gathering dust, Ji Lin also installed one inside and outside each house. Even so, there are still more than a hundred rune lamps in the territory that have not been used.
With the help of stable and weak light, the people in the territory can do many things at night.
For example, help him sharpen the arrow shaft.
The three thousand iron arrows that Ji Ai had ordered for him required not only the arrowheads to be made in the blacksmith shop, but also the arrow shafts to be cut out bit by bit. The people in the lord were not busy at night.
Now that there was lighting, it was better to help him do more work. You couldn't sleep all night!
It was not the capitalists' exploitation. Helping to cut the arrow shafts would get a meal subsidy, and you could get more meat and vegetables. Now the lord still followed the two-day-one-meat plan. The constantly rich catch made Ji Lin consider whether to adjust to the formal meat ration once a day.
The amount of meat was reduced, but you could eat more times, and you could eat it every time, because there was a big pot in the collective kitchen, and you didn't have to worry about waste.
This was a special luxury for the people in the feudal era. Most of the small lords in ancient times could not afford to give themselves one meat meal a day. Therefore, although the food in the territory is monotonous, these people also eat with relish. They can have meat every other day, and it is good to have enough food. They don’t care about whether it is diverse or not.
Eating pickled vegetables and white porridge every day is enough for them.
Under the temptation of food, the people sharpened all the arrow shafts in one day, attached the tail feathers and handed them to the city hall.
You asked where the feathers came from. There are quite a lot of seabirds in the territory. Those white seabirds can be shot accurately in front of the light crossbow. You can shoot them down by calculating the trajectory. Or wait until they fall and shoot them with silent cold arrows.
Their feathers are not bad, and the tail feathers used as arrows are good, and they taste delicious.
No part of their body is wasted, even the bones can be thrown to the hunting spiders for a snack, and their diet is as diverse as that of dogs.
놇The seabirds active in the fish-rich waters are all plump and plump.
