Opening the diamond treasure chest the night before, Qu Mao was so excited that he stayed awake very late.

At midnight, he sent two messages in succession to the lord communication channel. On the one hand, he informed Fu Zhi and Lai Die of his situation, and on the other hand, he also asked Lai Die of what new products he had.

He also explained the props he urgently needed to Lai Die.

The speed of development has already given Qu Mao a taste of the benefits of directly purchasing resources from Lai Die. Why bother to work hard when he can take off from the same spot?

The next day, Qu Mao once again summoned the army in the yard outside the lord's hut. Since he could not attack the resource points, he followed Su Yan's suggestion and went out hunting with the whole army to quickly solve the food crisis.

Qu Mao planned to take Su Yan and all the troops to go hunting while exploring a more detailed map of the island to see if there was a place on the seashore where ships could be released safely.

According to Qu Mao's original idea, each existing resource point must be assigned at least 10 people to carry out production, and even two shifts must be arranged. This means that every time a resource point is conquered, at least 20 more people will be needed.

The citizens, indeed, as Su Yan said, would quickly overwhelm Yi Village's food supply.

This time he wanted to take Su Yan out with him. Qu Mao mainly wanted to gain some experience for Su Yan, and also wanted to let Su Yan, the internal affairs officer, better understand the terrain of this deserted island.

Today is a transition. Qu Mao will take Su Yan and the army to the west coast today, walking in a straight line, which is only about five or six kilometers back and forth. In the next few days, they will follow the west coastline all the way south.

It is at least 20 kilometers from the lord's hut to the seaside in the south. It is obviously unrealistic to go back and forth in one day.

However, before setting off, Su Yan asked Qu Mao to reorganize the army and not to take away all the soldiers. After all, the territory of Yicun is still small. There are currently zero-level logging mills, zero-level quarries, metal mines, and crystal mines.

Farms, gem mines, and even a few territorial residences are outside the territory. Sufficient defense forces must be left to patrol, and meals must be delivered to the territorial residents on duty in the wild.

Qu Mao thought it right, so he arranged for 3 first-level spearmen, 3 first-level sailors, and 4 first-level swordsmen to stay in the territory. He only brought 2 second-level hunters and 1 third-level marksman.

Chaifield, 3 second-level archers, 1 second-level halberdier, 2 first-level spearmen (Zhang Da, Zhao Pan), 2 second-level ax warriors, 2 second-level stone throwers, a total of 13

The warrior, himself and Su Yan formed a team of 15 people.

Su Yan arranged for all resource fields to be guarded in two shifts. The zero-level lumberyard and zero-level quarry were all guarded by 10 residents at full capacity. The metal mine, crystal mine and gem mine were arranged in one shift.

15 people were recruited, and the number of territorial citizens on duty was increased to increase production efficiency and allow Sunan to stay in the territory to deal with emergencies.

Su Qiaoer applied for the protection of two first-order spearmen and continued to search for wild fruits and vegetables in the woods surrounding the territory.

Jia Sixie and Franklin King are still cultivating new farmland or tending the corn fields that have been planted. Currently, Qu Mao and Su Yan are counting on the maturity of the first season corn to provide more corn seeds for the Yicun territory.

If poor-quality farmland is not maintained and crops are not planted, it will not be long before it returns to open space. Now, the open space around the lord's cabin is expanding every day, but the expansion of farmland obviously cannot keep up.

Chai Fidel has successfully advanced to a third-level marksman. Of course, Qu Mao followed suit and asked Chai Fidel to take off all the equipment of the second-level archer before changing his profession, thus acquiring a set of equipment for the second-level archer out of thin air.

.

In the future, if there is a military camp in the territory, a new second-level archer can be trained from ordinary territory citizens, which can save money on a set of equipment.

Because Zhang Da has not yet reached level 19, he is not yet able to use the first-level spearman advancement certificate. It is estimated that Zhang Da will be out hunting for a day today and will meet the advanced level requirements when he comes back.

Appointing Chaifedel as the captain of the second-tier archer team, Qu Mao led the army towards the west.

The first-level spearmen and the second-level halberdier are the same arms. The second-level halberdier with ordinary qualifications could have been appointed as the captain, but Qu Mao thought that Zhang Da could also advance to the second-level halberdier when he came back in the evening, so he had to wait until tomorrow.

Let’s appoint Zhang Da as the squad leader.

When passing by the bamboo forest, Qu Mao said: "Su Yan, I will take you further south to the southern seaside, which means we may have to camp in the wild.

I think the bamboo here can be used to make some bamboo strips for backup. If we can use fabrics to sew marching tents, it will be better than sleeping in the wild.

With the size of our current army, I think we need at least three tents.

You have one for each person, it doesn't matter if it's smaller; my tent is a little larger, so you can arrange for Chai Fedel, Zhang Da and Zhao Pan to live with me; the other ten soldiers live together, so the tent needs to be larger.

I wonder if we have enough fabric?”

Su Yan said: "Of course it is enough, sir. Our hunting harvest today can provide the territory with at least three days or more of meat."

In the evening, my subordinate asked Qiaoer to bring a few female subjects, and together with me, we would sew three tents overnight over a bonfire in the kitchen of the lord's hut. The bamboo strips can also be arranged by Suber in advance."

Su Qiaoer happened to be nearby, accompanied by two spearmen. Su Yan immediately called Su Qiaoer over and made arrangements.

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Since you said that, I feel relieved. We will continue to search forward. We should be able to reach the seaside due west at noon and then return the same way.

I estimate that we need to prepare at least enough meat for the territory to last for a week, otherwise we will not be able to support it until we return."

Before noon, Qu Mao led the army to hunt along the road and arrived at the seaside in the west.

Su Yan looked at the gap between the top of the cliff on the west and the sea level, and was very disappointed. It was obvious that this place was not suitable for a military port or a dock.

But Qu Mao is not worried. The desert island is surrounded by seaside and he can always find a suitable place.

When the army returned in the afternoon, the beasts along the way appeared again.

The sun had not completely set. Qu Mao and Su Yan had already led the army back to the Yicun territory. A total of 12 black bears, 6 tigers, 32 wild wolves, and 12 hares were harvested throughout the day. Most of them were decomposed by the soldiers themselves on the spot.

Cutting, even so, a lot of meat was accumulated.

The beasts that Qu Mao himself summoned Ah Ke to kill were all decomposed directly using the system. After all, although the army was hunting all the time, they still had to prepare meat. Qu Mao found that the bodies of the beasts were placed directly in the backpack, which can increase the life of at least three days.

Meat storage time.

Just the meat killed and decomposed by the soldiers, as long as the meat does not rot, plus the fishing traps in the creek and the fish in the reservoir in the territory, there is no problem in supplying all the citizens of the territory for 7 days, so Qu Mao can
