After two months of seclusion, Tian Xiaoding returned to the Taoyuan Holy Valley where the village was located. I saw that the land in the village was being plowed and ready for spring planting.
However, the method used by everyone to cultivate land is still the very traditional cattle farming method, which is too inefficient.
So, Xiao Ding thought of using the four golden bamboo sword pigs raised in his Qiankun Pot to pull the plow.
Sure enough, the efficiency of these four Golden Bamboo Sword Pigs is indeed much higher than that of ordinary plowing oxen.
After all, they are all monsters, different from ordinary domestic animals. With the plow specially made for them by Xiao Ding, they can still walk across the fields like flying without any effort at all.
The four row plows customized by Xiao Ding are each equipped with more than ten plowshares made of black gold, which are very sharp and durable.
A dozen plowshares together are more than a foot wide, and four rows of plows can plow over an acre of land in one go.
Such a plow is really difficult for ordinary people to hold if they don't have the strength.
Therefore, Xiao Ding helped one of them himself, and asked Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong to help the other three. Although the cultivation of the three of them is not high, they are more than enough to support a plow.
Working with such efficiency for a day, it is very easy to cultivate dozens of acres of land.
When the people in the village saw Xiao Ding acting so coquettishly, they were all delighted.
They have seen monsters fighting, and they have also seen people tame monsters to help their masters fight, but they have never seen people raising monsters for farming.
He made four Golden Bamboo Sword Pigs help Xiao Ding with farm work, but Xiao Ding did not treat them badly. After resting at night, Xiao Ding would pull out an old ginseng plant with a relatively low age and give it to the four Golden Bamboo Sword Pigs, which was considered as giving to them. of remuneration.
The old ginseng in Xiao Ding Qiankun's pot is very old. Even if the Golden Bamboo Sword Pig has reached the fourth level, they cannot eat too much at one time. Therefore, Xiao Ding pulled out an old ginseng and gave it to the four of them, which was enough.
With the help of Jinzhujianzhu, it took less than ten days to plow the entire land of hundreds of acres.
The subsequent ridge digging was also completed by the Golden Bamboo Sword Pig and more than a dozen cattle in the village.
After the land is prepared, all that remains is breeding, sowing, water diversion for irrigation and other tasks that do not require much effort. There were many people in the village, and most of the acquaintances had farmed before becoming bandits. Therefore, it took more than half a month to complete the cultivation of the land in the valley.
What Xiao Ding planted on this land this time was mostly upland rice and a small amount of wheat.
There are many people in the village, so it is necessary to reserve a certain amount of staple food. As for vegetables and other non-staple foods, Xiaoding plans to start planting them next year.
Moreover, there is nothing else near Tianyao Village except mountains.
After spring arrives, various wild vegetables in the mountains will begin to sprout, and there are also a lot of pheasants, rabbits, and wild birds on the mountains. When everyone has free time, they go hunting in the nearby mountains, dig wild vegetables, catch fish, and catch shrimps, which can be used as non-staple food.
In order to prevent people in the village from cheating and cheating while working. Starting this year, Xiao Ding has formulated new rules for the village. That is, starting from this year's spring plowing, the meals in the cafeteria will no longer be provided for free. If you want to eat, you need to use spiritual stones to exchange for them. Each meal will be clearly marked with a price.
Then, Xiao Ding will pay everyone their wages according to how much they work. Those who work cheating and cheating will naturally get less wages, while those who are willing to work hard will get more wages.
As a result, everyone has more enthusiasm for work.
However, there is not much farm work in the village. Therefore, in order to increase the income of the people in the village, Xiao Ding also stipulated that those who insist on signing in at the Juyi Hall every day will receive a small amount of spiritual stones after signing for a month. If there are missed days in between, you will not get the monthly sign-in spirit stone.
In addition, anyone who goes out to hunt or dig wild vegetables and returns to the canteen can be exchanged for the corresponding spiritual stones. Of course, prices are clearly marked and all are treated equally.
In addition, Xiao Ding also set up some special awards for those who have made outstanding contributions to the cottage, such as those who rushed to the front line regardless of life and death when a foreign enemy invaded, or those who did something for the cottage , and then brings convenience or benefits to everyone, etc.
In short, Xiao Ding, who comes from the earth in the future, deeply understands the disadvantages of everyone eating from the same big pot. But the people in the village have long been accustomed to eating together and doing things together. Therefore, Xiao Ding is gradually reforming the system in the village.
He has to boil the frog in warm water slowly and little by little, and formulate some new rules at intervals. In this way, he will not encounter collective opposition from the copycat members all at once, and finally he can achieve his ultimate goal of reforming the copycat. Purpose.
Xiao Ding's ultimate goal is also very simple, that is, to finally achieve that the spiritual stones earned by the people in the cottage can be enough to support themselves, and there will even be residual value that can be used in the construction of the cottage.
Xiao Ding didn't expect them to earn much wealth. As long as the village's daily operation didn't require him to always pay for it, that would be fine.
After the busy spring planting, it has entered late March. Of course, the calendar used on Tiankun Star is naturally also the lunar calendar timekeeping method commonly used in ancient times on Earth.
There are still more than two months until the secret realm of Lingtai Island opens on June 18th. Xiao Ding plans to go into seclusion to practice again, this time trying to build the foundation directly, and then leave the seclusion.
However, this time we cannot stay in seclusion for two months. Because it still takes some time to get to Lingtai Island, he needs to reserve some time to go to Lingtai Island.
The location of this retreat was still the cave where I retreated last time.
Senior Sister, Li Tianliang and others are all worried about Xiao Ding. The retreat time is less than two months. Even if he uses elixirs to force a breakthrough, the time may not be enough.
Xiao Ding could only smile and said: "It depends on the situation. Just try your best. If you can't break through, then you won't go."
In fact, he was very confident. Not to mention that he still had nearly two months of retreat. Even if he didn't have that much time, if he wanted to break through to the foundation building stage, it would only be accomplished in a few days.
You must know that one day outside the pot is one year inside the pot. For Xiao Ding, as long as he still has longevity, he can cultivate to whatever realm he wants.
Therefore, Xiao Ding didn't pay attention to the worries of the senior sister and others at all. But in order to continue to hide the secret of owning the Qiankun Pot, he had to show off on the surface and perfunctory everyone.
