Chapter 64
Chapter 64
This problem is not difficult to solve.
Just use vines to make a rope ladder, and then add a shoulder strap to the outside of the bucket.
Depending on how loose the fertilizer is, you can climb down and scoop it up directly.
The two returned to their original positions. Zi Yi had already tallied the spoils, and the prisoners were gathered together chatting and resting.
The same goes for goblins.
Zi Yi carefully examined the haystack with a hole in the middle, holding the javelin that Zi An had broken earlier.
Seeing the three return, he asked incredulously, "Was this really caused by javelins? I've never seen such destruction."
Shouldn't a spear be thrown by stabbing into something?
Zi Yi had never seen such power before.
Never seen this before?
The saintess felt that Zi Yi was somewhat ignorant.
But when I thought about how he was just a goblin, I didn't find it strange at all.
Zi'an nodded with a smile: "Of course."
If it weren't for the wasteful haystacks, she would have liked to demonstrate it again.
Li Mo thought for a moment, then said with some helplessness, "When the power is sufficient, the damage caused changes."
He wanted to make things clear.
However, he had forgotten most of the formulas involved.
I only remember the basic principle of the spear thrower.
In short, the spear-throwing device extended the distance over which it could work, and combined with Koyasu's physical abilities, it created an effect similar to a weapon attack.
But why are goblins and bear-beastmen comparing this?
Li Mosi steered the conversation back on track: "Zi Yi's twelve men cut down one hundred and two trees, which is more than twenty more than what the fifteen men cut down yesterday."
That is, an increase of a little over one-third.
Zi'an turned to look at the fields, and she started scratching her head again.
To be precise, he was scratching the ears on the top of his head.
"I... um..."
Zi'an hummed in agreement for a while, but finally gave up.
"It seems to be a bit more than yesterday, but I don't know by how much."
The saintess forced a smile: "Because you can't do math?"
Her words ignited Zian's anger.
"Mind your own business!" Zi'an retorted, then couldn't help but ask Li Mosi, "Master, what is arithmetic?"
"Ha puff puff puff puff..."
The saintess wanted to laugh, but Li Mosi pinched her lips shut again.
Seeing Hagi Sei's appearance, Koyasu's anger immediately dissipated.
At that moment, only confusion remained in his eyes.
Zi Yi looked at the field for a while: "Yesterday, I loosened about one and a half acres. Today, it's about a little over one and a half acres."
Zi'an then asked, "What is a mu?"
Although in the local language it is simply called "mu" (亩), there is no other unit.
But Limos prefers to call it "acres".
This unit represents the area that can be easily plowed in a day by two oxen pulling a plow.
"One mu" is roughly equivalent to "six mu" before the time travel.
But he can't do a simple conversion.
Because nobles always wanted to make their cattle work easier, the size of the "mu" (a unit of land area) was always shrinking.
In this context, this is a non-standard unit for a trench.
As Li Mosi was pondering what to say, she suddenly felt her hand go empty.
"Pah!" The saintess shook off Li Mosi's large hand: "Two oxen pulling a plow, and a mu of land can be easily cultivated in a day."
Seeing that it was she who answered for her, Zi'an pouted and said, "I understand."
In short, the increase in income was not as much as that of Ziyi.
"Don't compete yet," Li Mosi waved her hand. "Yesterday and today are completely different. Yesterday, only a few people loosened the soil, and Zi'an didn't make a move today either."
The only thing that's certain is that some members of the tree-cutting team were slacking off yesterday.
Zi Yi nodded: "Indeed."
Zi'an nodded in agreement.
She really didn't want to think too much.
"Chief, the meal is ready."
A goblin with only one eye ran over to report to Zi Yi.
"I understand. Bring the bucket out and call everyone together." Zi Yi chirped, "Master, the meal is ready."
Guh~~
Zi'an's stomach was sending out signals requesting food.
She said, "I'm actually hungry."
The saintess curled the corners of her lips into a smile again.
Bear-beastmen are all the same.
Li Mosi nodded: "Then let's eat first."
Soon, everyone gathered with their utensils, and Zi Yi casually asked the goblin to bring over a piece of smoked meat.
He walked among the prisoners: "Those who cut down trees with me today, step forward."
All the prisoners stared at the smoked meat in his hand.
The twelve captives who had cut down the trees quickly stepped forward.
Seeing the meat and the guys' excitement, Lasso knew—it was time to give out a reward.
After confirming the twelve people, Zi Yi cut each of them a palm-sized piece of meat.
The flesh isn't thick, but it's still about three millimeters.
This was enough to excite those prisoners who were already slaves.
"Thank you, sir."
"Thanks."
We're just living paycheck to paycheck now, what else is there to say?
The eight prisoners in charge of loosening the soil looked at Zi'an.
Zi'an shouted, "They cut down over a hundred trees today! Do you want to keep working too?"
Never mind then.
The eight prisoners shook their heads and turned their heads, demonstrating their stance through their actions.
Only a few goblins are somewhat curious, but they can quickly get answers from their companions by asking around.
They don't want to cut down more than a hundred trees that thick every day.
Moreover, their diet already includes a lot of meat.
Yesterday was a day worth having an extra treat, but today is not.
The prisoners' food reverted to a stew of old bread, mushrooms, and fruit.
When the food was distributed, they were all filled with mixed emotions of joy and sorrow.
Whether they were originally slaves or regular workers, the prisoners quickly drank the hot porridge with slices of meat as soon as they were given it, as if they were afraid it would be taken away.
Only Ziwan could slowly eat amidst the envious gazes of others.
With a swollen face, Soth looked at the porridge in his bowl and couldn't help but sigh, "Sheep droppings, this is something we should be able to eat every day."
Lacas disagreed: "We were defeated by goblins, as long as we're still alive, that's good enough."
Lasso glanced around: "Let's wait, they're too wary right now..."
At this point, all the regular prisoners looked at Soth, whose face was swollen.
Lacas couldn't help but press the back of his head: "How are you? Does it still hurt?"
"Ouch~ Don't move! I can only sleep on my side now."
After dinner, Li Moss once again tied the prisoners together.
Everyone returned to their respective caves.
Zi Yi lit a campfire with a tinderbox, then suddenly remembered what had happened during the day: "Master, was there anything wrong with the way I rewarded them?"
The saintess looked up at the sky and remained silent.
Li Mosi glanced at the saintess, then shook her head at Zi Yi: "It's fine for now. Why don't you think about tomorrow's hunt?"
Even if problems do occur, they are unlikely to be major issues.
Zi Yi nodded, suppressing her curiosity.
Zi'an, however, became interested: "Hunting? What kind of hunting? I can beat everything except brown bears."
"It's just a wild boar. Ziyi and I plan to send the goblin warriors into battle."
"Oh well."
Zi'an calmed down.
Li Mosi helped Zi Yi add some fuel to the campfire.
Once the campfire was big enough, he went to the stone table.
"Read the initial consonant table."
Tonight's class has begun.
