Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 156

  Chapter 156 Draft Planning for Winter City

   Sean-Forrester's Frost Cold Town was established last year, but due to lack of time, it didn't reclaim too much farmland, and naturally it didn't grow a lot of food.

   It was just determined that the new crop of potatoes could grow successfully on this barren land, and then ushered in a long and harsh winter.

  Shuanghan Town's first winter was spent through family blood transfusions. Forrester still didn't have an accurate understanding of the harsh environment of the northern plains.

With the advent of the new year, more wasteland has been reclaimed into farmland, Sean Forester will soon learn that this barren land can only grow potatoes, and the crops they brought from Iron Tree Fort It is difficult for other crop seeds to survive and germinate on this land.

Moreover, potatoes that have not been optimized by the mysterious power cannot be planted continuously. After two rounds of harvesting, Sean Forrest will find that the crops produced in the field are constantly decreasing, and it is impossible to ensure that Frost Town will continue to grow. Increased population consumes a winter.

  If the Forrester family doesn't transport enough supplies in the fall, Frost Town will have a hard time this winter.

  As for the villages around Cold Winter Town? David is curious how many will be left after one winter?

   "So before we came, the environment in this place was so bad!"

  Listening to David's description, Laura had an intuitive understanding of the barrenness and desolation of this place for the first time. Before that, her impression of this plain mainly came from Cold Winter Town.

   The town under David's governance did not give her the slightest feeling of barren land.

The farmland in Cold Winter Town is very productive. As Mark planted more and more crops, the types of agricultural products became more and more abundant. It is said that the newly planted strawberries have successfully germinated. This year they can eat the cold winter Strawberries, grapes and other fruits produced in the town.

   “Speaking of produce…”

  David wondered whether to grow cotton in Cold Winter Town? Otherwise the clothes of the whole town can only be brought in through trade?

There are also silk fabrics. The environment of Cold Winter Town may not be able to raise silkworms, but he can ask Squirtle to help solve this problem. He remembers that the Pokémon Silk Spider, which has a spider appearance, can spin a lot of silk, and The quality of the spider silk is very good, and that world itself uses that kind of spider silk to make silk products.

   Talked about these ideas to Laura, and Laura agreed with David's ideas, but the topic was suddenly changed to another direction: "Then you can make those things you like in Winter Town, right?"

   "Huh? What are you talking about?"

   "Man!" Laura looked like I had seen through everything: "I didn't choose those pairs of stockings, are you disappointed?"

   "How come?" David shook his head: "Anyway, that kind of thing is easy to buy."

   "Ha!" Laura laughed dryly, feeling rather speechless to David's reply: "I thought you weren't disappointed because of Eva!"

  David felt the alarm bells ringing in his heart, thinking whether to start today's game immediately?

   "You have eaten up your little secretary these two days!"

   "Huh?" David opened his mouth, his face full of surprise, "Why do you say that? Eva and I are very innocent."

"Really?" Laura stared at David's face carefully. Based on her understanding of David, this person is very bad at hiding his true thoughts. The surprised expression on his face seems to be a real reaction: " Nothing really happened?"

"certainly!"

  Hearing David's decisive answer, Laura was puzzled instead: "I see Eva is always happy and content these two days, and I thought she finally succeeded!"

   "..." David was speechless, and Laura's words gave him a strange feeling.

   "Speaking of which, I ran out for several days this time, and you didn't attack Eva. You wasted such a good opportunity!"

  Looking at Laura's funny look, David wondered if this woman deliberately set a trick to trick him? Should I try my best to show my sincerity?

  However, David, who tried hard to express his sincerity, only got Laura's hoarse sentence in the end: "How about I hold Eva's hand down for you?"

   Helped Laura to make a cup of honey, and after feeding her a large cup, the two embraced each other and fell asleep: "Stop thinking about it, have a good rest!"

  Laura muttered a few words, but she couldn't understand what she was saying. When she wanted to ask, Laura had already fallen into a deep sleep.

  He rested for a night with Laura in his arms, and the next day David got up on time energetically, leaving Laura to continue to catch up on sleep, and David walked out of the cabin and went directly to Squirtle.

  Since helping David recruit a large group of Squirrels and a few Eevee, in order to distinguish the original Squirrel, Laura has prepared some equipment for this Squirrel.

  Sunglasses and cuffs have become the unique costume of this Squirrel turtle. David also made five stripes on the cuffs in a wicked way, which means the captain of all Pokémon in Cold Winter Town.

However, the Pokémon captain has been a little slack since then. David hasn't seen more Pokémon come to Cold Winter Town, and the Squirtle will be there every day except for showing up on time at mealtimes. Sunbathe, swim by the river, and occasionally catch some aquatic products for myself.

  So, in the morning, the Squirtle may be near the Winter River, and David walked directly to the Winter River after getting up.

   "Huh? Mark? Woke up so early today?"

   "It's not that I got up early, it's that I didn't sleep last night." Mark looked in good spirits, not at all like someone who didn't sleep all night.

   "Isn't your usual work and rest normal? What problems have you encountered?"

"It's not a problem. It's that I finally became a real shaman. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep." Mark was so excited in the room yesterday that he couldn't fall asleep even if he had nothing to do. .

   "So...you are actually waiting for me by staying here?"

"right!"

  Mark would appear in front of David just to share his joy with others, and to put it bluntly, he wanted to show off.

"congratulations!"

"Thanks!"

  After becoming a real shaman, Mark has the qualifications to use the power of the elements.

  At the same time, the power of the elements will strengthen Mark, and Mark has been exercising for a while with the holy light injected by David, so his physical fitness is already very strong now.

   Coupled with the various spells released by urging the power of the elements, Mark will soon be able to cross the limits of ordinary people and become an extraordinary existence.

   "Are you going to the Winter River?"

   "Well, I want to talk to the Squirrel about something." When not specifically emphasizing, the Squirrel in everyone's mouth actually refers to the original one.

  I told Mark that I wanted Squirrel to help find some orb silk spiders to come to Rinwinter Town, and also mentioned the plan to grow cotton.

"I don't think planting cotton is an important thing." Mark felt that there was nothing wrong with David's thoughts. Compared with David, he should consider another thing: "Have you considered the future of Winter Town or even Winter City? layout?"

   "Of course I considered it."

  Since he discovered that Goldfinger was related to the territory, David has considered this issue more than once.

   It's just that Cold Winter Town hasn't really been built yet, so he didn't rush to let everyone know about the follow-up plan.

   "Anyway, there is nothing to do now, tell me, I am very curious."

  Mark looked around. The sky had just brightened slightly, and the residents of Cold Winter Town had already woken up one after another.

   Watching the residents line up to wash, fetch water, and then prepare to have breakfast and start a day's work, these have become the daily routine of the residents of Cold Winter Town.

  Mark watched this scene and began to wonder what the future Winter Town, or Winter City, would look like.

  At least, this kind of scene of queuing up to wash and fetch water should not be seen.

  “I only have a rough plan in my mind, and the specific details need to be gradually improved.”

"so…"

   "If the Winter Fortress is the center, I plan that the southwest location will be an agricultural area."

  In David's current thinking, the farmland area will develop southward next, so it will be located in the southwest of Winter Fortress. This side is close to the water source, the terrain is flat and wide enough, and the development of agriculture is the most suitable.

  As for the residence of farmers, houses can be built around the farmland area, not far from the town center, and within the radiation area of ​​various hydropower lines originally planned.

   "The southeast is the main residential area, the northwest is the commercial area, and the northeast is various institutions and military camps."

  David's plan is just a rough division. In actual construction, even in the southeast area designated as a residential area, there will definitely be various shops in it.

   "Sounds good."

  David then talked about more ideas, such as building various factories in the currently forested area to the north.

  Waterworks, an important factory, need to be built as upstream as possible.

  As for the northern border military industry whose scale is undecided, whose products are undecided, and whose name has only been determined, it is also planned to be arranged in the north to ensure that it can be protected by Winter City.

  Build docks, shipyards, etc. on the banks of the Winter River in the west.

   "If all the things you expected are built, this place will definitely not be able to continue to be called Cold Winter Town." Mark imagined a little in his mind according to David's description, and he couldn't wait to see the real thing sooner.

   "Of course it was already Winter City at that time."

   I really want to reach the scale that David envisioned. At present, all the population on the northern plains are gathered in the town of Rinwinter, which is far from enough.

"I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

"Although your plan for the future is very clear, and the current development of Cold Winter Town is also very stable and rapid." Mark paused, and then asked the question he wanted to ask: "But before that, don't you consider building a city wall? ?”

  David was stunned when he heard that it was actually this question. He really hadn't considered this question.

   "City wall... If you don't mention it, I'll forget about it."
