Chapter 21 The Establishment of the Farm
(Today's third chapter, thank you for your support!)
The tall wooden fence is half a livestock grazing area and half a farmland area. There are two connected solid houses in the farm, both European-style farm houses with stone as the foundation stone and wood as the beams and pillars. One of them is a residence and the other is a grain warehouse. In the distance, there are sheds for livestock and poultry.
Apart from the absence of any animals and crops, this is already a perfect farm.
Next, Donald walked to the wasteland on the left side of the manor, waved his hand again, and another human farm covering an area of 20 acres appeared there again. Next to the first built farm, Donald built three farms in succession before stopping.
Although there are open spaces in the rear that can be built, the wood and stone materials have been consumed almost the same amount, so Donald can only build the foundation area in front and build the others one after another in the future.
If anyone saw this scene just now, they would definitely shout miracles, but Donald is now yelling about the price of building this farm.
Although the basic materials have been used, the energy consumption has been reduced by 80%, but the farm's construction area is quite large, and the remaining consumption has instantly used a lot of reserve crystals.
"This is all diamond-like elemental crystal! This is just the construction unit with the lowest demand. Those larger buildings such as barracks and towns will have to be poor and the wealth I have finally accumulated?"
A lot of crystals were spent like flowing water. But when Donald saw the farm that appeared in front of him, he felt it was worth it.
Of course, materials can be used instead of some elemental crystals, and naturally they can also bring their own materials and then summon a sufficient number of human labor farmers to build the farm. However, although the low-level monster crystal core consumed in this way can be afforded, the speed is far from comparable now.
Real farmers build farms and other buildings, but they are not as quick and convenient as in the game, and everything must comply with the basic laws of this world.
After the four farms were established around the center of the manor, Donald built four sentry towers at four corners of the edge of the manor.
This kind of reconnaissance sentry tower, which is 15 meters high and the thickest place is eight meters in diameter, is the cheapest building among the four types of Warcraft. With enough stone supply, such a tall building, each sentry tower only consumes about five square meters of low-level elemental crystals, which is lower than the small guardian ring on Donald's hand!
"With these four sentry towers, the safety of the manor will be greatly guaranteed in the future."
"Although the primary archer has no attack ability in both the game and in reality, if it is not upgraded, it can only be used as a reconnaissance construction unit. However, in this real world, most situations can be adapted. You only need to place a few archers on it to turn the archer into a temporary archer tower. When the energy reserve is insufficient, there is no need to spend resources to upgrade and renovate."
Of course, such a fake arrow tower is difficult to compare with the arrow tower that is equipped with a crossbow machine tool. However, judging by the fact that he only has this remote and narrow manor, Donald does not think that there will be any powerful enemies to capture this place. So just get a few urn towers with the least resources to come out for reconnaissance.
"It's a pity that the small manor is not large in size, and it is only enough to build six farms at most. The land in the middle has to be left to build a villa. Fortunately, when the small manor develops, you can plan that vast large manor!"
After doing this, Donald returned to his home in Hongfeng Town and ordered the butler to reduce the order for some construction materials.
"The farm of the manor has been built, and the wood and stone continue to be purchased, but other materials are temporarily placed. Let's talk about it when the architect is found to be ready to design and build the villa!"
"Really, Master?"
Kod, who received a positive answer, looked surprised and praised.
"The power of the mage is amazing. Now we should need to hire several farmers to manage the estate, and we also need to prepare to buy a batch of livestock, poultry and crop seeds!"
Donald nodded and said:
"Yes, while spring is not over yet, we must vigorously develop this manor and strive to achieve the first harvest before the autumn harvest!"
Although Kod had been idle for more than ten years, he was undoubtedly very competent as the butler. He first contacted the architect of a chamber of commerce and hired enough workers. Then he hired three farmers among the civilians he knew nearby, with a total of eleven adults who could work. This included Donald's coachman's family, and now he belonged to the farmers of the Melinna House.
The reason why these three families abandoned their original livelihoods and prepared to work at the Melinna manor was because Donald gave twice the conditions that other nobles had. He asked the butler to promise that in addition to the fixed cost of food and accommodation, each farmer could get 10% of the products they planted and raised by themselves, which was at least more than twice their original wages. With such encouragement, farmers would be very energetic when doing their work!
Looking at the excited look of the three families, the butler Ke De asked:
"Young Master! Are the conditions you have made too high?"
"Of course not high. You must know that only by making them feel that they are working for themselves will they be willing to work and have great expectations for harvest, so that the manor can develop as soon as possible!"
Based on his previous life experience, Donald knew that if he wanted the horse to run fast and not eat grass, he would be undesirable!
After explaining this reason to the housekeeper, Ke De admired his young master's kindness and wisdom very much. He was able to come up with such generous conditions. The farmers worked hard for their own interests, so the manor would definitely produce much more in the future than other nobles.
Three days later, Donald brought the butler, attendant and several farmers hired by the Merliner family to the manor again. The butler Cod was stunned by the manor that had been completely renewed in front of him!
These sturdy and exquisite fences, neat and spectacular farms and houses seemed to be built overnight. There weren't so many buildings when he came last time!
"What a rich manor? Looking at these farms, they are simply gifts from God!"
"Thank you, thank you, Master Master!"
Except for the coachman, no one else has been to the manor, so naturally there is nothing to be surprised about. They are all amazed at the fertility and beauty of this manor they will work for in the future.
As for the coachman, since he followed Donald, he has learned to be calm. His employer is a mysterious and powerful mage, so what is impossible? In the eyes of ordinary people, a mage or an evil human who is similar to a devil, or a powerful existence second only to a god!
Donald felt satisfied when he saw that the coachman didn't say anything. Naturally, his butler would not betray him, and the outsider was not sure, but it seemed that he was still trustworthy.
Donald turned to everyone and said:
"With the spring is not over, I am going to plant all the crops on the farm first, and take good care of the livestock. When harvesting in autumn, it can bring at least a thousand Jinsol's income. The investment in advance construction can be recovered soon and the balance of income and expenditure can be achieved!"
"Yes, lord!" "We must work hard!"
Under the leadership of the butler, more than a dozen farmers with energy-watching faces pulled several trucks of livestock and crop seeds to the farm to settle. Since only three families are now hired, the butler allocated them to a large house on a farm. The large house on the farm is very spacious, and there is still room for them to live in the three families.
There are still three farms to spare, and Donald has no plans for this yet. Eleven labor is almost enough for this newly developed small manor.
Because the house on the farm was vacant and when the villa was not built, Donald chose one of them as his and the butler's residence in the manor for the time being.
When I walked into the room I had created, I saw that except for the lack of furniture, there were all basic facilities.
"The houses on this farm are much larger than those in the town. We will live here temporarily starting today, which is convenient for the management of the manor and the farm!"
Donald turned around and gave instructions to the housekeeper.
"I don't plan to continue living in the Hongfeng Town residence. After all, it is the territory of other nobles. It's good to keep it as a contact location! Kede, you have worked hard these two days, bring people to bring all the things and utensils at home! After a few months, the villa will be built, and it will be like a noble manor!"
The butler Ke De received the order and excitedly went to organize the manpower to move.
Two days later, the manor had basically been settled. After the farmers were busy, Donald took the hired architect to Kamcha terrain and before he arrived at the reserved villa location, he pointed to the open space and said:
"You can take your time to build a manor villa, but it must be strong and durable, so there will be no mistakes. This will trouble Mr. Dona's Duoduo to worry about it!"
"Master, please rest assured that the area of this villa is not small, but it is nothing compared to the entire manor. As long as the design drawings are determined, the project will be basically completed within three months!"
The butler Kede hired an architectural designer from the Wangdu Chamber of Commerce in the Giant Rock City Branch. This designer is a scholar who looks about fifty years old, and is a general architect, accountant and other professions, all of which are knowledgeable scholars.
The reason why professions are different is that scholars focus on different knowledge aspects.
Most scholars are non-heirs from aristocratic families. They must have a skill to gain a foothold in this world and continue to live a noble life.
This Dona scholar did not take a fancy to Donald's identity as a little noble. After all, he had seen too many nobles, who were born in the capital. However, Donald's identity as a seventeen-year-old official mage had to lower his figure. In this world, it is generally believed that if anyone is more knowledgeable than scholars, then there are only mages and spellcasters.
And unlike scholars who are just auxiliary management talents, even research mages who are not good at fighting have powerful powers that ordinary people cannot imagine. Such mysterious powers make ordinary people feel awe.
Faced with such a strong man, Dona decided to try his best to complete his work. So after surveying the terrain, he temporarily decided to live in the farm to facilitate the design and construction of the villa.
After a hard night of hard work by Dona scholars, the design sketch of the villa was initially completed.
After obtaining the drawings, Donald was quite satisfied with the appearance of the villa. This Dona scholar adopted the architectural style of Zoro, the most developed commercial alliance in the mainland, the world.
Zoro is a beautiful kingdom, not only famous for her financial strength, but also his numerous tropical resort estates, sunny beaches and many delicious fruits rare in the north.
After many years of development, the buildings in the Zoro Resort Manor have gathered the advantages of the architectural styles of the mainland countries and formed the architectural style of the most beautiful aristocratic villas that are now recognized as.
Although the cost is at least 30% higher than the ordinary Northern style, Donald thought it was very worthwhile when he imagined the effect after completion. Anyway, he was not short of money now, so he would build the best one if he wanted to build it.
In Donald's view, this architectural style is very similar to the beach villas in tropical areas in the past, and the functions are mostly focused on breathability and moisture resistance. He put forward his own opinions on this, allowing Donald scholars to make some changes to the design sketches, removing some gorgeous and useless decorations, reinforcing the overall structure, and adding some European-style layouts in the past life.
Moreover, Donald asked Dona scholars to expand and deepen the foundation of the villa by at least five times. It doesn't matter if you spend more, it's all for the overall building stability, and for the basement and his future alchemy laboratory and other places.
Since you are going to build a villa, try to build it perfectly. Although all kinds of houses in this world look classical, they are not as comfortable as the bungalows in the rural areas of their previous lives. So Donald couldn't help bringing things from their previous lives to this world.
Then Donald put forward some of his own requirements on the internal structure, which are nothing more than reserved for tap water systems, indoor bathrooms, and space for swimming pools, garages, cold storages and basements, etc., in the swimming pools, garages, cold storages and basements.
For some designs that are too advanced in this world, Donald does not intend to spread them so as not to attract the attention of those interested. So he did not point out what the gaps he left in the design drawings are doing. He also plans to hire workers from different chambers of commerce to complete the construction of these facilities so that the situation of the villa will not be leaked.
There are many blank design drawings like this. Donald has signed a contract with the Chamber of Commerce and the architect, and has notarized it in the temple and the noble council management office, indicating that some design concepts in his villa cannot be spread through the employer and appear on other buildings.
This is also a disguised patent right in another world!
The Donner scholar was obsessed with Donald's idea that came from another world, but when he thought of the contract, he couldn't help but hate him.
A few days passed quickly, and the three farmers were responsible for managing three farms, taking care of all the affairs in it well. The crops began to sow in the early stages, and the livestock also had scale.
Chapter completed!
