"Ding! Data update of auxiliary system -- crop rotation achievement. "
It was half a month later when Murphy heard the tone from the auxiliary system of total war.
He fulfilled his promise and distributed part of the land to the citizens after the victory. These lands are divided into three classes according to their status: 5 mu for each adult in the poor class and 10 mu for each adult in the civil class. If they are soldiers, another 10 mu will be allocated. Officials in the territory are currently divided into three levels, with land ranging from 100 mu to 500 mu. As for the generals, Murphy gave them all a thousand acres of land as a manor.
The measurement Mu used in Athens is not the same as in the past.
In Midland, one square kilometer of land is 1500 mu, but for convenience of calculation, Murphy expanded the amount of one mu to 1000 mu of one thousand square kilometer of land. That is to say, the acreage is 1.5 times larger than that of the Middle Earth period.
On average, there are about three to four adults in each family, including women. That is to say, each family can allocate more than 10 mu of land at least. At present, there are about 7000 people in Athens. After completing the land allocation, Murphy calculated that a total of 100000 mu of land, that is, 100 square kilometers of land, was allocated to the citizens of Athens. It accounts for about one sixth of the total arable land that can be reclaimed.
In fact, all the land allocated can not be cultivated for the time being.
Because irrigation ditches have not yet been completed, the land actually excavated in the territory is about 50000 mu. These lands are close to the nidoria river. They are very fertile and conducive to irrigation and so on. Half of the reclaimed land is used for winter wheat and the other half for other crops such as potatoes and corn. At present, due to the land reclamation, the labor force in the territory is very insufficient.
Since September, half of the moats in Athens have been dug and have had to be suspended.
Because of defeating the jackals, the human city-state built fortresses and set up defense lines in the canyon. Murphy''s territory is safe for the time being. So Murphy temporarily shifted the center of construction from defense to development. He transferred all the goblin slaves to the farms, and these little men could farm simply. As long as someone urged and taught them, two or three goblins could be worth an adult labor force.
The reason for this is simple. He wants to reclaim part of the land before October and plant winter wheat.
As long as we can plant winter wheat and persist in harvesting until next year, even if the yield is really poor, 2 stones per mu, that is 200 Jin of grain per mu. That 50000 Mu is also an amazing output of 100000 stone! Enough territory for Murphy to be self-sufficient and have a surplus in a year! In fact, Murphy really doesn''t believe that his territory will fail. Because the land along the nidoria river is very fertile, and another mission of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is fertility!
………………
-----------------------------
In the past half a month, with the efforts of more than 5000 adult laborers and nearly 20000 local laborers, the territory has finally completed the simplest reclamation.
That is, digging ditches, clearing land, diverting water for irrigation and so on.
In terms of water conservancy, Murphy is currently arranging for people to build water trucks, water mills and so on. However, it will take some time. For the time being, we have to rely on manpower to solve the problem.
Because of goblin labor, Murphy brought water down from a gentle tributary of the nidoria River and dug a ditch around it.
Up to now, 50000 mu of land has been preliminarily completed.
"Crop rotation: crop rotation and basic land management techniques keep farm resources from drying up rapidly. By cultivating different crops every year, let the land fallow or as the purpose of release, so that the productivity of the land can be slowly restored. As a result, crop yields have increased. And increasing production will also promote population growth. The use of slave labor also helped to increase production. Because farmers will ask for more produce. As cities grow, this agriculture can be upgraded.
Crop rotation and basic land management technology will prevent the rapid depletion of farm resources and increase crop yield（ Crop yield + 3) "
Crop rotation was improved on the premise of public farms.
That is, the citizens of the whole city work together, use tools together, and distribute the harvest. This can save manpower, tools and so on.
What Murphy is doing now is working hard for the fourth farming level in the auxiliary system of total war, namely irrigation!
At present, his idea is to lay a solid foundation for water conservancy and irrigation.
In the future, with the upgrading of Athens into a big city, there will be no need to consume too much manpower in farming.
In fact, in order to reclaim the land, Murphy almost stopped most of the construction in the territory. Even a part of the Greek heavy infantry was assigned to work by him. All the efforts are worth it, because in another half a month, after all the tedious details such as farmland irrigation and weeding are completed, winter wheat and other crops can be planted.
In the evening.
"Your Excellency, the harvest is counted." As soon as he returned to the governor''s house, the official trotted to Murphy''s side.
Murphy nodded and reached for the book.
The yield of spring wheat is not very high. On average, it is only about two and a half stones per mu of land. In the first two thousand mu of cultivated land, the total yield of spring wheat is about 2300 stones. This data is still within Murphy''s acceptance range. After all, spring wheat production is a little inadequate. And there is no fertilizer in this world, just some primitive fertilizer. Although Murphy has consciously built public toilets and pig manure, the effect is not likely to be obvious for a while.
But in this world, the corn yield discovered and promoted by elves is not bad.
On average, the yield per mu is more than 500 Jin even if cultivated one month later!
This is a very good yield in this era, which can be said to be a bumper harvest!
The nutritional value of corn is not as good as that of wheat, and it is not a staple food in general. The main function of corn is as feed, wine making and so on. The stems and leaves obtained from corn are good fuel and can also be used for filling. That is to say, as in the middle soil, after harvesting rice, lay the stems under the bed, and it will be much warmer to sleep in winter. It is said that corn stalks can also be used for papermaking, but as far as the current level of science and technology is concerned, it is not necessary to consider for the time being.
Although the nutritional value of corn is not as good as grain, in fact, corn is one of the main foods for the poor in this era of relatively poor materials.
………………
-----------------------------
The trade in the territory was mainly coal and high-quality wood, but now the slave trade has basically stopped.
Murphy had to find another way to trade.
The first thing he thought of was wine!
There are mainly two kinds of wine in this world. One is wine, which is for the aristocracy. The other is wheat wine, or low alcohol beer, which is the mainstream consumption of ordinary poor people. Some people in the world used to make wine with corn, but it was not very popular.
Murphy knows how to make wine with corn. Fermentation is nothing more than using koji after cooking.
There is brewing technology in the world. It''s not a problem to make wine with corn. Murphy can recruit people from the aborigines.
But the point is, Murphy can''t distill at all!
This is a rather awkward question.
As a member of the earth, Murphy only learned a little about the simple distillation unit in junior high school physics. But when it comes to wine making, he has no idea what to do.
He is not a person suitable for technical research.
His strong point is to control and employ people!
In fact, Murphy''s original intention is to try to see if the indigenous people in the world can accept Shaojiu, that is, highly distilled liquor.
I don''t know if the ordinary poor like Murphy, but the barbarians and soldiers in this world will like it very much.
Pure man, drink liquor.
This kind of men who survive in the bloody killing will definitely like this kind of high alcohol. And another idea of Murphy is military use. He thought that the first use of distilled liquor was not to make money, but to disinfect medical treatment. Holy water can also be disinfected, but the yield is too low, and it is not easy to preserve. In this primitive era, wound infection and ulceration is an important cause of death.
And if there is alcohol, then the effect will be very obvious!
This can save the lives of countless Athenian soldiers!
"Unfortunately, we can''t build a wine temple. If there is a Dionysian priest, it is estimated that he can stir it up. How to distill it? " Murphy touched his head and could only put it down for a while.
He just knows a little about the simple principle of distillation. If he really wants to do it, he has to recruit people to study it slowly.
And confidentiality is also very important!
If we can get distilled liquor, we must be able to get more trade income from the territory.
Murphy wouldn''t be so stupid to make wine from grain.
Grain is an important strategic reserve resource. As we all know, wine making is very food consuming. In ancient times, wine was once a luxury, only used in sacrifice. But if it''s high-yield corn, Murphy can accept it. After all, he doesn''t plan to raise pigs and animals on a large scale, and the citizens of the territory won''t eat corn as their staple food.
In short, wine can bring a lot of revenue to the territory.
But a territory and a city-state can never grow strong because of wine! Moreover, Murphy never hopes that wine will play an important role in Athens, so that a large number of drunkards and idiots can be estimated in the city in the future!
Even if he developed distilled liquor, he should strictly control it in his own hands.
Never allow citizens to make wine without permission!
