At this time, Zhou Bai was still looking for a teacher.
After all, she hopes that the school can be put into use immediately after it is built, so teachers naturally need to be prepared in advance.
These NPCs in the territory are all ready-made, and the special attributes of the undead make their interests bound together, so she doesn't have to worry about any accidents happening here.
Zhou Bai's abacus was working hard, and in a short while he had reached the production and planting area in the north.
As soon as he walked here and looked at the vast farmland, Zhou Bai's mood became refreshed.
These are the foundation of the territory.
If you have food in your hands, you will not be worried!
Even though the resource points outside can be refreshed from time to time, and monsters can still drop meat, for Zhou Bai, the most important thing is that his own territory can produce food.
No matter how the territory develops in the future, she will set aside a piece of land to produce food.
At this time, many hired people were clearing weeds in the farmland.
...
...
The growth rate of plants on the Stan continent is several times faster than that on the Blue Star, so the growth cycle is naturally much shorter. As a result, there are more weeds, and they have to be cleaned up almost every day.
However, those who are clearing weeds are obviously older or have some health problems. This job is perfect for them.
Moreover, it is very satisfying to watch the seeds you plant take root, sprout, and become real things.
Among them, the sheep-headed man Baker was also in the farmland, but while others were clearing weeds, he was taking a few people to observe the growth of some plants.
High temperatures also have a huge impact on plants.
That is why they need to be watered constantly according to the condition of the plants.
Baker has a natural affinity for plants and is always the quickest to discover their conditions.
At this time, the branches and leaves of this patch of red and green tomatoes were obviously a little wilted, obviously due to lack of water.
"Now is their growing season, and the soil humidity should not be too high. This whole area needs watering." Baker explained after the inspection.
"Yes, I'll go get some water right away." As he listened, a man nearby immediately headed towards the well.
Speaking of which, it was fortunate that a well was built in the territory before, otherwise in this hot weather, they would need to fetch water from the river outside the territory, which would be troublesome.
Then, looking at each area one by one, Baker was basically able to give some guidance.
After the instruction, Baker started to get busy with the harvest.
Staple foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, wheat, etc., only take 40 days to 4 months to grow on the Stan continent.
Vegetables grow faster, basically only taking about 10 days. Based on the time they sowed the seeds, it is the harvest season recently, so they might have been able to stay in the fields for a few more days to reach their best condition.
But with the arrival of hot weather, if the fruits are not picked, they will most likely rot in the fields.
Therefore, there is no need to waste one or two days; it is better to pick and store them early.
After arranging everything, Baker raised a soft smile.
The feeling of harvest is really good!
When he turned around to arrange the next batch of seeds, he saw Zhou Bai's figure beside the farmland. He was startled for a moment and quickly ran towards Zhou Bai.
"Village Chief!" Knowing that Zhou Bai's identity should not be known to others, Baker seldom greeted Zhou Bai in public, and even if he did, it was the same as greeting anyone else.
But later, when Zhou Bai became the village chief, his actions became open and aboveboard.
In the eyes of others, it seems normal.
After all, after Zhou Bai became the village chief, the NPCs in the territory visibly respected Zhou Bai. They thought it was because of the territory's recognition, and unconsciously regarded Zhou Bai as the leader of the territory.
After all, the territory's current series of actions are proving that Zhou Bai has this ability.
Since they themselves can't get the position, it doesn't matter to them who gets the position!
Therefore, no one thought there was anything wrong with Baker's attitude towards Zhou Bai. They just took a look and went about their own business.
"Can the farmland be harvested already?" Zhou Bai asked in surprise as she looked at the scene in the farmland. The time was earlier than she had imagined.
"Yes, some have a shorter growth period." Baker said seriously, "I have a record of each one, and I have kept the seeds. I can accurately control the next planting. Now it is only planted in small batches, and in the future it can be planted on a large scale according to the needs of the territory."
When Baker talked about planting, he was very eloquent, not at all as gentle and reserved as usual.
Zhou Bai listened and encouraged: "Well done!"
As he spoke, Zhou Bai took a look at Baker's contribution, which was indeed quite a lot, and was also among the top ten in the territory. Obviously, the system also believed that Baker had made a very great contribution to the territory.
Hearing Zhou Bai's straightforward praise, Baker looked a little shy, "I will continue to work hard."
Life here is so comfortable, and he can often be with his favorite plants. He cherishes the present days very much.
"Come on, I'm counting on you. Do you have the sorted information in your hands now?" Zhou Bai asked.
"Yes." Baker carefully took out a parchment roll.
Zhou Bai opened it and looked from top to bottom, and saw several familiar plants in it.
【Yellow fruit (lemon)】
【Pepper】
【Black long stick (sugar cane)】
【Bitter Melon】
【Red long fruit (red bean)】
【……】
"Many of the names at the front are common names when I collected them, and the names at the back are known from everyone. Their descriptions of the taste of these fruits are very accurate, so I wrote them down, and they seem to prefer the latter name." Baker explained on the side, fearing that Zhou Bai would not understand.
"How many of these do you have planted?" Zhou Bai asked.
"Because you gave me full responsibility, I asked those shops if they needed anything. Based on their needs, I expanded the planting scale of some plants. For example, many shops want the pointed fruit. Today, there is a batch of pointed fruit that can be collected. After collection, they can be sent to the upper shops. It seems that every plant is very popular. They are all urging them to produce results. We can keep busy, but the planting area is not enough?" Baker said this with a cautious look on his face.
Currently there are only 20 acres of farmland, and more than half of it is used to grow crops, so there is really not much left.
"If you need to increase the area, just apply to me directly. As long as you can manage it, I will approve it. But you have to guarantee one thing: the quantity of food." Zhou Bai emphasized.
"Okay." Baker said in surprise, "Then I will apply for an additional 10 acres now. I may need to recruit some people to help later. Don't worry, Village Chief, I won't let you lose money."
"But even though I promised you, it can't be done right away. You still need to go through the procedures and submit the application documents to the relevant department. I will only expand the land after it's in my hands." Zhou Bai said.
Since the territory already had administrative departments, she was not going to let them become in name only.
Once the structure is established, it will be much easier for her as the lord.
Then maybe she will only need to make decisions instead of taking charge of everything.
This is much easier!
Sure enough, the more tools the better!
"Okay, but I don't know how to write the application documents?" Baker frowned slightly.
"It's probably about how much land you want to apply for, the use of the land, and the value that each acre of land can create..." Zhou Bai suggested.
"Okay, I understand." Baker carefully wrote down every word Zhou Bai said, preparing to implement them one by one. However, after writing it down, he suddenly remembered the purpose of Zhou Bai's coming here, and continued to ask: "You came to see me, do you have any instructions?"
"Yes." Zhou Bai then started talking about school.
After hearing this, Baker's eyes widened. "I...I...I want to be a teacher? I can't do that."
"You have a deep understanding of plants. No one is more suitable than you. When the time comes, you can bring your students here to take plant classes. This is your home ground. You will definitely get used to it." Zhou Bai said in a commanding tone, "It's decided."
This sheep-headed man is too soft-hearted. Instead of negotiating with him about shirking responsibility, it is better to treat it as a mandatory task.
"...Yeah." Baker agreed.
After deciding on this one, Zhou Bai continued walking forward and came to the breeding area.
The person in charge of the breeding area is the sheep-headed person Aina.
Her personality is exactly the same as Baker's, except that she's a little more lively. She's a lovely sheep girl.
Seeing Zhou Bai, he couldn't help but jump over and said, "Village Chief."
Zhou Bai looked at the breeding area behind her.
The breeding area is divided into pieces, each area is surrounded by wooden fences, with a small roof and feeding troughs on top. Different monsters are placed in different areas.
Compared to the few monsters at the beginning, the monsters now have obviously become large in scale. She saw quite a few monster cubs among them. These were the results of the professionals' captures during this period of time.
I think that after some time, they will be able to freely obtain meat from animals in their territory.
Compared to the short-term results of planting, it is obvious that breeding will take some time. Zhou Bai was not in a hurry. He did not ask about the situation inside and directly talked about the school teachers.
"Where's Baker?" Ina was a little nervous, but she asked about Baker first.
"He has made up his mind." Zhou Bai said.
"That's what I'm willing to do! If the village chief needs me, I'll do my best." Although Ina is also a shy girl, she obviously has her own ideas.
"Okay, thank you." Looking at the other person's cute appearance, Zhou Bai stood on tiptoe and stroked the fluff on the other person's head.
It's really soft.
Aina looked at Zhou Bai's actions and felt her heart warm.
She likes the Lord so much!
After Zhou Bai teased Aina, he took a walk around the farm and left.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Bai arrived at the karst cave resource point outside the territory.
Unlike other materials, resources such as ores are non-renewable resources. Once all the ores in one place are mined, there will basically be no more ores in that place. Therefore, once the location of the mineral deposits is discovered, basically all forces will try their best to mine all the ores. After all, what they get in their hands is theirs.
Zhou Bai also planned the same thing for the iron mine within the territory of Hope Village.
Therefore, during this period of time, the two goblin NPCs Victor and Dunlop basically lived in this cave.
He gets up at dawn every day, has breakfast at the territory restaurant and then goes to the mine. He eats packed food at noon, returns to the territory to eat at night, and then goes home to sleep. His life is very regular.
But even so, they felt at ease.
The lord has made them live like this, and all they can do is actively mine to give back to the lord.
Of course, they are not the only ones mining at this time.
There is also Yu Ziming and his group.
After the last punishment period, Yu Ziming and his group regained their freedom.
They had originally planned to do something big, but they found that after the penalty period, they had lost the initiative in many things.
In addition, many people in the territory knew about the good things they had done and were discriminatory towards them. They did not have much money and were in a difficult situation.
In this case, the only option is to continue mining and obtain enough gold coins to start a business.
Of course, they do more than just mining. In addition to mining, they also hunt nearby monsters and work hard to start their careers.
Yu Ziming was the first among everyone to start his career, and he is now a magician.
He planned to form a team after everyone in the team became professionals.
Once they have grown stronger, saved enough money, and the scandal has died down, they think they should be able to gain a foothold in Hope Village.
While thinking about it, Yu Ziming noticed someone entering the cave.
Unlike them who were stunned, Victor and Dunlop came forward excitedly.
Seeing that they had obviously dug a deeper mine, Zhou Bai led the two of them out.
Seeing them leave, someone around Yu Ziming couldn't help but say, "Among the Blue Star people in Hope Village, the one who is doing the best is probably the village chief. The NPCs all respect her because of her status. It's really enviable! And Cao Jingshan... is not bad either."
When it comes to Cao Jingshan, everyone falls silent.
We came from the same group, and it’s really true that comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
"Looking at Cao Jingshan's current development, we need to learn a lesson. If we didn't have any evil intentions at the beginning, we wouldn't be worse than them now." Yu Ziming emphasized, looking at the jealousy in some people's eyes.
They went through so many emotions during the time they were imprisoned and punished.
The word resentment is not unfamiliar.
They were also resentful at first, but subsequent events gradually smoothed over this mentality.
Now that he is the leader of the team, he will not allow the mentality of his subordinates to return to the past.
"Yeah." The others hurriedly said after hearing Yu Ziming's emphasized tone.
Yu Ziming didn't say anything else and just continued to work.
They now need to accumulate strength and wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to change other people's impression of them.
With the current speed at which Hope Village was developing, he believed that that day would come.
Dunlop and Victor, who were leaving at this time, were confused when they heard that Zhou Bai was going to ask them to go to school in the future to teach students about mining and prospecting.
They really didn't expect something like this to happen to them.
Goblins are the lowest level of existence in the Stan continent and can be oppressed at will. Most of the goblins are miners in human territories.
They thought they were lucky enough to be treated as residents in Hope Village, and now the lord wanted them to be respected teachers.
Aren't they dreaming?
"Can we?"
Zhou Bai listened to their cautious tone and sighed in his heart.
You can tell a lot about each person's character by how they react, with race being the biggest influence.
The goblins are the least confident.
It is obvious that their talent in minerals is unmatched.
"Yes! You have such ability, why not?" Zhou Bai gave them the greatest affirmation.
Listening to Zhou Bai's words, both of them seemed to tremble slightly.
After an unknown amount of time, Victor finally said word by word: "Village Chief, we will prepare well!"
"Yeah." Zhou Bai nodded.
Afterwards, the two of them walked towards the mine in a daze, and only when they reached a place where Zhou Bai could no longer see them did they hug each other and cry.
After crying for a while, Victor said, "The village chief is so kind, we must work hard for her and find more mines."
"Um."
"It's not enough just with the two of us. It would be even better if we had more people from our tribe." Victor couldn't help but say, "If they come here, they can not only help the village chief, but also live a good life. How great!"
Dunlop listened for a while before he managed to say, "I know there is a tribe base nearby, but I don't know if they are still there..."
Dunlop had always kept this secret, but now he felt that telling this secret might be a good thing for their race.
"Let's talk to the village chief when we have the chance!" Victor said after thinking for a moment.
"Yeah." Dunlop nodded.
Zhou Baike had no idea that her actions would bring a group of technical talents that she urgently needed to the territory. She only knew that after this trip, she not only learned more about the progress of Hope Village affairs, but also identified several technical teachers for the school.
Tailors, blacksmiths, warriors, planting, breeding, mining... She is now recruiting technical talents for all-round development so that everyone can know their potential.
Of course, in addition to these NPCs, she plans to select the remaining teachers from the residents, with priority given to those with experience.
The combination of Blue Star's educational methods and local education should be able to cultivate talents for the territory, and talents that care about the territory.
That’s great!
Zhou Bai is now becoming more and more curious about what Hope Village will look like after it is completed in the future.
After all, as a lord, she couldn't be sure of this!
But she thought, as long as she kept going at the current pace, everything would be fine!
