I am a god in another world
Chapter 67 Anna's Proposal (Please read on)
Since we are talking about farming, Gavin follows the topic and says: "Our current model of relying on imported food is also a stopgap measure. It is always dangerous to hand over your basic livelihood to others. It is easy to be blocked by others. It is urgent to develop our planting industry. The next ten days will be the best time to cultivate. It is definitely too late to cultivate the land now.
There is no way to cultivate carefully, so we will cultivate roughly and wildly. When the caravan arrives next time, there will be several carriages of grain seeds. Goss, you must be careful to distinguish them clearly and don't eat them as coarse grains. Then you take a few teams and follow me to bury seeds in the mountains. As long as the seeds are buried, there will always be a harvest."
Gavin did not do this on impulse, but had a detailed plan long ago.
The rocky land is just complex in terrain, not a wasteland.
There is no large area of river beach like the plain, but those relatively gentle slopes and valley beaches can still be reclaimed into a lot of small plots of arable land.
The kobolds and goblins themselves are not completely non-cultivators. The Black Well Tribe has its own farmland on the river beach.
However, compared with the intensive cultivation of humans, they are typical rough-style farmers, only sowing seeds, without irrigation, weeding, and pest control. How much they can harvest in the end depends entirely on the weather.
Under the current conditions, Gavin can only adopt the farming method of the kobolds, but the area must be expanded. Not only will he plant all the hills around the Black Well Tribe, but he will plant as many grain seeds as he can collect. Anyway, it is an unowned land. Who knows how many people the Black Well Tribe will have this winter.
What Gavin is going to plant is not grains that require a lot of land, but vine vegetables and root crops such as potatoes and ground potatoes.
These crops have a common feature, that is, they have a large yield, are easy to survive, and have low management requirements. As long as the weather is not too bad, the harvest is usually relatively stable. They can be used as food and vegetables, and are easy to store. Especially the kobolds' mines are an excellent storage environment, and they can be stored from this summer to next summer without spoiling.
Gavin knew that they couldn't offer much advice on this matter, so he just passed by, his eyes still on Zach.
Zach hurriedly shook his head and said, "Chief, these are the only two points I can think of at the moment. You might as well ask others first, and I'll think about it."
"Okay." Gavin also knew that he couldn't just pick on one person and squeeze him, so his eyes swept over the faces of the others, "What about you?"
"I... I... I have one... I don't know if it counts." The young priest raised her hand carefully, and because of nervousness, her old problem came back.
"Oh?" Gavin perked up, his eyes fell on Anna, and he said with great interest, "Tell me first."
"I... I want to build a church... Ilmat's church... I want to lead those interested dog-headed people... to the path of faith in the God of Suffering." Being stared at by so many people, the young priest became more nervous, and the sweat on her round forehead began to roll down.
"Does the God of Suffering accept believers from other humanoid races?" Gavin asked with some surprise.
"Ilmater is a benevolent god. As long as you believe in his path, he doesn't care about your race." Speaking of faith, Anna's nervousness has obviously eased a lot. "We can't use our narrow vision to guess the mind of the gods."
Thinking of the changes in faith that just happened last year, Gavin agreed with the explanation of the young priest.
The strength of the gods no longer depends directly on the priesthood, but is directly linked to the number of believers in the material plane.
In short, the more believers a god has, the stronger he will be, and vice versa. If there are no believers in the material plane, it will be the moment of the death of this god.
The gods are too busy to actively develop believers, so of course they don't care about the race of the believers.
Gavin did not answer Anna directly, but turned his eyes to the four dog-headed men and said, "What do you think about this matter? Does it conflict with your original beliefs?"
"No conflict, Kurtumak is just our guardian, not entirely our belief."
"Belief is a personal freedom, we will not interfere."
The four dog-headed men did not show much strangeness on their faces, and obviously they did not resist this matter.
"In this case, you can do it. The church is simple. Just do it like me and dig a cave house. As long as you have pious faith, even if it is a small statue, the God of Suffering can listen to your prayers." Gavin would naturally not object to this matter. Ilmater is a well-known lawful and good god. Most of those trained in this church are medical priests, and he will never have too many such priests.
Gavin turned around and threw a new task to Anna. "Since teaching them doctrines and prayers will definitely require the use of words, why don't you open a literacy class in your church and teach those young kobolds the Common Language."
"Even if Mr. Gavin didn't tell me, I would do the same." The young priest was interested in such things.
"Not only young kobolds, but other adults also need to read and write the Common Language, especially you guys. From now on, after work, you will have the task of reading and writing ten Common Words. I will check them regularly."
"Yes, sir."
When they heard that they had to learn to write the Common Language, some were excited and interested, while others hung their heads.
"Including you, sir, your task will be heavier, twenty words a day."
"Ah..." Hearing his name being called, the half-ogre stood up instinctively, with saliva half a foot long at the corner of his mouth, and said in a daze, "My lord, what's the matter."
Gavin's eyes twitched, and he repeated his order, "In addition to training, learn 20 common words every day, Anna will teach you."
"Ah? Ah!" The half-ogre widened his eyes, touched his bald head in confusion, and said, "Why should I learn to read?"
"I asked you to learn, so you learn. If you learn one less, you will lose a bowl of rice." Gavin was not prepared to explain at all.
"Yes, sir." The half-ogre sat back with a tangled face, staring at the goblin warlock who was still puffing his cheeks. Thinking about those common words that they knew him, but he didn't know them, he lost all sleepiness.
"Next topic, who has it?"
"I, I have it." Cang Ya couldn't help but said.
"Speak."
"I think we should tame the ferocious weasel and form a ferocious weasel cavalry." Cang Ya naturally started from the military field that he was most familiar with.
"It's a good idea, but where do these ferocious weasels come from?" Gavin certainly knows the value of cavalry, even if it's a little expensive, it's worth it.
"This..." Cangya obviously hasn't considered this question, and answered hesitantly, "We can go to the wild to find and capture them, and bring them back to tame them."
"Although it's a way, it's not very efficient." Gavin shook his head and said, "When you are training in the wild, pay attention to see if there are any ferocious weasels around. Don't force it. I will contact the human merchants to see if there are any channels, but I hope it's not too high. Ferocious weasel mounts are not popular among humans, but ponies are not difficult to buy in bulk. As a compromise, I will find a way to get you a batch of ponies. You train them first and see if there is a chance to get ferocious weasels in the future."
Due to the characteristics of digging holes, kobolds and ferocious weasels have a good temperament and are natural partners.
Ferocious weasel cavalry is a unique type of soldier for kobolds.
Few goblins ride ferocious weasels, just like few kobolds ride wolfs.
There are so many Kobold tribes coming to join us, but we haven't seen a single Ferocious Weasel, which means this area doesn't produce many.
If we want to get them, we have to find a way to get them from other Kobold tribes, whether it's annexation or trade.
