Chapter 297： The elves of the elf village

Originally, Habayashi Blood Eagle wanted them to live at the pier, because it was safer to have troops to protect them. But when the village was planned later, these people did not want to live in the wharf, but asked them to form a village by themselves. They are all internal personnel, of course they will have priority. So Habayashi Blood Eagle let them choose their favorite area.

The terrain of the area chosen by the elves is just the opposite of that of humans. Humans like places with many plains, but elves like to choose places with more hills and low slopes, and they can't be too far from the port area. After picking and picking, I finally picked a semi-plain area with half hills and low blocks.

The elves' village is built among the low slopes and hills, and various fruit trees are planted on the surrounding low slopes and hills. Because the city lord has an order to encourage the planting of trees, but only fruit trees are allowed.

Any fruit tree is fine, but not edible! It's just that the fruit trees in the elf village are not too big now. I don't know what method they used, but these elves were abducted from Quel'Thalas, and hundreds of tree men, big and small, helped them take care of the orchards and fields.

When the houses in those villages were built for them, they were the same as the houses in the villages obtained by human beings, they were rough houses. After it was built, the construction team left.

But how could this group of elves live in rough houses? They had a bit of money, so they all went back to Quel'Thalas, bought a large boat of various fruits, and asked craftsmen and human refugees to help them decorate their houses.

How much fruit is given every time it takes to dry, anyway, there are too many people. Lime and other materials can be taken at will. There are so many refugees burning lime in the quarry, and they can't be used up. Only some decorative raw materials need to be bought from China.

Artisans and many refugees are willing to come to them to help after finishing their work. Because of the current food shortage, each person is given a daily quota. Refugees in some village groups can grow food. In addition to returning what the city lord borrowed before and paying taxes, there is not much left over. It is enough for the whole family to feed and clothe, and there is no problem with the rest.

But fruit is a rare thing. It takes several years to grow fruit on the mound, and now the fruit trees are too small. Go shopping outside? The Hinterland management staff will not stop you, but where do you buy it? Food is even tighter outside!

Xantlan does not allow food to be sold outside. If you can’t finish the food you grow, you can only sell it to the city lord. The city lord bought them all, and the price is of course not the outside price, but the price before the war.

If you have money, you can also buy it from the city lord, it is only a little more expensive than the price you sell to the city lord. You can buy it for yourself to eat as a gift, no one cares about you, but you are not allowed to take out Xantlan. If you smuggle it out and sell it, it is a felony and you will be kicked out of Hinterland directly.

In fact, most of the people who are really short of food are those who have not entered the village group, and those who have not paid back the food borrowed by the city lord. If you don't join the village group, you can't divide the fields and houses, so you can only distribute food by quota.

People with village groups have no allocation quota, and have to borrow food from the city lord, but they have land and houses, and there are goblin machine farming teams to help plow the land. After he grows the grain by himself and returns it to the city lord and pays the tax, the rest is his own.

If you can't finish eating, you can sell it to the city lord or give it away, but it is not allowed to be shipped out of Xantlan. It is also forbidden to let it go moldy and rot, because wasting food is also a felony. If it is light, it will be punished to do heavy work such as road construction for three months, and if it is serious, it will be driven out of Hinterland.

In addition, when entering the village group, you have to help the city lord to plant all the fruit trees on the land belonging to the city lord on both sides of the road in your village as a windbreak forest and manage it well.

If you just want to borrow food to eat and don't care about the land you have been allocated, and you will go home after borrowing until the end of the war. So sorry! Dear! If you let it out, many people are waiting to enter the village group! As for you, you can go wherever you like, anyway, Hinterland will not keep anyone.

You don't care about your land, many eyes are on it. Just wait for the report, you can live in your current house and plant your fields, do you dare?

Even so, the vast majority of people rushed to enter the village group. Because of growing grain for one year, it is basically possible to pay back the grain and taxes borrowed by the city lord. If there is still enough food left, you will only pay taxes in the second year, and the rest will be yours. If you can't finish eating and sell it to the city lord, you can have some spare money to buy some fabrics and other supplies, so that you can live better.

In the dock area, there are many daily necessities stores set up by the city lord. Didn't you see that the first batch of people from the Westfall had paid off all their debts and paid their taxes? Now we are all waiting for this year's harvest.

Their dozen or so villages are the best villages among all the refugees. After seeing more than a dozen villages, Habayashi Blood Eagle went to the Elf Village, chatting with the elves in the village, spanking their parents and making short stories.

Habayashi Blood Eagle was very curious about how these elves managed the half of the plain. Because of the regulations, except for the planting of fruit trees on both sides of the road, no fruit trees are allowed on the plains. Only some crops with large harvests, such as corn, wheat, pumpkin, and sweet potato, are allowed to be planted.

After asking, I realized that these elves didn't plant at all. However, they let the human refugees plant it, and after planting it, they only charge the same amount as the city owner's tax, and the rest belongs to the person who cultivated the land.

This made those humans who like to farm the land a head start, especially those who have not yet joined the village group. Once they come, they can receive the rationed food, and they don't need to borrow from the city lord. After planting, the remaining 60% is their own, so many people come to the elves to rent land.

Habayashi Blood Eagle laughed out loud after hearing this! 20% of the harvest is indeed not enough for their family. However, they still have family members serving as soldiers, so where is the soldier's share! Even without the 20%, the quota that soldiers get back is enough for their families.

It was only because it was stipulated that farming must be done that they came up with this trick to deal with it. Those who leased the land ran back to farm after finishing the daily tasks.

Because getting a quota always requires work, and if you rent the land of the elves, those officers will turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it, and even arrange for you to work near the rented land. In addition, elves, we also have village groups, and we can agree with you. Once you get the approval of the two elves, you will soon become a person with a village group.

Through this relationship last year, quite a few people entered the village group. Although these elves are proud, they are not harsh on people. So these elves don't work? Idle all day long?

Do not! They do it too, but not much! They grow herbs, and planting herbs in flat land is allowed like growing grain. They feel that this kind of herb is much better than growing food. Many herbs grow up, and they will grow again after cutting, so there is no need to always sow and plow the land.

And they also have tree people to help manage the herb field. The first thing they do when they wake up every day is to take care of the flowers and plants around their house, and then go to the medicine field to have a look, and come back after doing some work.

These herbs are very much needed by the elf mages in the city of Quel'Danis. Because of the war, these herbs that can refine primary magic potions are in great demand. During this period of time, these elves were always thinking about how to abduct more treants from Quel'Thalas to help them take care of the herbal fields and orchards.

In response, Habayashi Xueying happily raised his hands in agreement.
