Chapter 186: Three Steps to Rise

In the Ice Sanctuary.

The Ice and Snow Maiden on the throne waved her hand.

There was a crunch "click".

The ice that froze Zhou Ming cracked, and the cracks quickly spread, turning into fine ice cubes.

"Whew~Whew~"

Zhou Ming took two big breaths of fresh air and rubbed his frozen stiff cheeks with his hands.

"You say...... You have a way to make the Snow Clans strong, is that true?"

The question rang in his ears, and it was the Ice and Snow Saintess sitting on the throne who opened her mouth to ask.

This human monk, the Ice and Snow Holy Maiden, originally did not intend to spare his life, but overheard him shouting out his words, and his heart moved, ready to interrogate.

"Holy Venerable, what can this human be able to do to strengthen my Snow Clan, he must be a liar, it is better to kill him!"

"Yes, Holy Venerable, humans can't be trusted, it's better to kill them!"

These two Snow Clan elders seem to have a deep prejudice against humans.

In fact, this kind of stereotype is not for no reason, the Snow Clan still has a lot of dealings with humans, whether in peace or wartime, the Snow Clan needs to buy a large number of living or war materials from the human side, and the trade between the Snow Clan and human merchants has a history of millions of years.

The Snow Clan, who has been pitted by various human businessmen, has a very strong hostility towards human beings, with negative words such as greed, cunning, and black hearts.

But there is nothing to do, once the human merchants carry out an economic blockade, the Snow Clan will soon be in trouble.

Because there are many essential commodities that only humans can produce.

"Shut up, you two, listen to what he has to say, and then decide it's not too late to kill him. ”

The Ice and Snow Saintess glared at the two elders and said.

The two elders kept their mouths shut.

Zhou Ming glanced at the Ice and Snow Saintess on the throne.

He has fair skin, a delicate complexion, a high nose bridge, brown hair, and pale green eyes, which are unusually deep.

He is about two meters tall, burly, with wide shoulders and long legs, dressed in a snow wolf skin, with a noble temperament, and a pair of murder weapons on his chest.

The first sense given to Zhou Ming is a bit like Athena, the goddess of Western victory.

secretly said in my heart: After all, it is an alien race, and it is normal to be a little different from human beings.

Hearing her question, he bowed to the Ice and Snow Saintess above and said, "May I ask if the Holy Venerable can speak the human language, I have only learned the language of the Snow Clan for a few days, and I am not very proficient. ”

"Yes. ”

The Ice and Snow Saintess nodded, she had studied in the human world, and had lived in the human world for a long time, so the human language could naturally be spoken.

Zhou Ming was overjoyed and said to her, "Then can I talk to the Holy Venerable in the language of the human race?"

"If you don't speak well...... Die!"

A hint of murderous aura flashed in the eyes of the Ice and Snow Saintess.

"Good!"

Zhou Ming nodded, no longer wasting time, went straight to the point, and slowly said his "strategy of the strong snow clan".

Of course, in order to highlight the pertinence, he first talked about a series of problems faced by the Snow Clan.

For example, the backward development of productive forces, primitive labor methods, and simple and inefficient production tools have led to the fact that productivity has basically not been improved for millions of years.

For example, the grassroots organizations are scattered, the control of the upper level is weak, there are many contradictions between different tribes, and the internal cohesion is very weak.

There is also the development of the cultural field, and the Snow people are even more barren, with a very low literacy rate, not enough literate population, no well-organized legal system, no qualified high-level officials, no excellent army generals, and a lack of skilled craftsmen.

In short, the development of the entire Snow Clan, Zhou Ming can be described in four words:

Primitive tribes.

A slightly more developed primitive tribe.

The level of science and technology is roughly equivalent to that of the Bronze Age.

It is about 1 million years different from the average level of development of human society.

Hearing these questions pointed out by Zhou Ming endlessly, the Ice and Snow Saintess was almost about to explode!

I had the urge to pinch him to death several times!

But I had to admit in my heart that what he said was completely true.

The problems he summarized were already aware of by the Ice Queen herself, but ...... It can't be solved.

What she was even more surprised in her heart was: this human had studied the Snow Clan so thoroughly and looked at the problem so deeply, what was his intention?

Is it really here to help the Snow Clan?

smiled coldly: A human being, who has traveled thousands of miles to help the enemy of the human race, the Snow Clan, has no purpose and selfishness, who will believe it?

Holding back the killing intent in his heart, the Ice and Snow Saintess asked him, "Is there a solution to my clan's predicament?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Ming nodded confidently, "I have three steps to rise, and I can help the Snow Clan rise!"

"The first step is to lay a good material foundation and vigorously develop productive forces!"

"The first thing to be solved is the problem of food and clothing, which requires improving the mode of production, changing the original hunting as the main thing, focusing on agricultural production, developing grain planting, and making it possible to raise at most one person per 100 miles into a ten, or even 100 people......."

Before Zhou Ming could finish speaking, a crisp voice interrupted him.

But it was the Ice and Snow Saint ** who said with a calm face: "Enough, don't talk about human beings anymore, your idea is very good, but on the snowy region, you can't develop agriculture, and you can't grow the food you said." ”

The Ice and Snow Saintess shook her head secretly, she had just heard what this human man said, and she had a trace of expectation, but now her expectation has dropped to zero.

Grow food in the snow...... Are you kidding?

"Who says you can't grow food in the snow?"

The human man asked, "As long as the problems of insufficient light intensity and low temperature are solved, food can be grown on the snowy region." ”

"Enough!"

"Human, stop talking nonsense, my patience is limited. ”

The Ice and Snow Saintess couldn't listen to a word of this human being, and she didn't have the slightest desire to talk.

The murderous intent is also getting stronger.

Zhou Ming was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "It seems that it is indeed difficult to gain your trust, so how about giving me 100 manpower and three months, I will grow food on the snowy region for you?"

"If you can't plant it, how about you kill me again?"

"It's only three months, so the Holy Venerable should have waited for this time, right?"

Zhou Ming knows that words are the most difficult to convince people, and only the facts in front of him are the most convincing.

"Okay, give you three months. ”

The Ice and Snow Saintess nodded, the strength of the human race lies in the number of human geniuses, comprehensively crushing the snow clan.

If this human man really has some talent, she doesn't mind giving this human man a stage to show his talent.

……

Three months later.

Looking at the wheat field in front of him, which was thriving and had already produced ears of wheat, the pale green eyes of the Ice and Snow Saintess were full of disbelief.

"This ...... How is this possible?"

"In the snowy region, you really grow food?"

"It can't be!"

Several high-level elders of the Snow Clan who followed over to inspect exclaimed one by one.

Zhou Ming looked indifferent, and said with dissatisfaction: "The yield per mu is only about 500 catties, and if the conditions are better, it will not be a problem to reach 800 catties." ”

These golden wheat seeds are the high-quality wheat seeds that he brought from Wancheng Country with a maximum yield of 1,800 catties per mu, but due to various reasons, the actual yield in the snow area is only one-third of the limit yield.

As for growing food in the snowy areas where there is no grass, is this a big problem for him who started by farming?

If the light intensity on the snow area is too low, then use ice as a mirror, set up a multi-sided ice field with an inclined angle in the agricultural ice valley, accurately adjust the angle, and gather the sunlight in one place, so that the light density in some areas can be increased by five or ten times to meet the needs of plant production.

However, due to the consideration of construction costs, Zhou Ming's concentrating density is about four times that of flat land.

It's actually a matter of temperature.

The solution is to build a greenhouse, build an insulated greenhouse, cover it with an earthen wall, cover it with transparent glass on the top, and then burn some firewood in it, and maintain the temperature at around 30 degrees, so that Jinmai will thrive on the ground that has been crushed.

Someone here wants to ask: Where does the transparent glass come from? Of course, Zhou Ming refined it himself, generally, the cultivation level is so high that he can create some things at will.

For example, if Zhou Ming is given a pile of ores, he can not only refine glass, directly remove impurities, and refine high-purity metals, ceramics, and swords.

When the cultivation is so high that one can become the "Creator" who created all things.

Another example is the Ice and Snow Temple, which is also a product of the Ice and Snow Saintess, built with a wave of her hand, without consuming a single labor.

It's far away, back to the point.

Facing the mu of wheat field in the greenhouse, Zhou Ming did not praise himself, but said a bunch of shortcomings.

"The construction of this kind of greenhouse takes a long time, and if you don't use monks, at least 100 Snow Clan strong men will be busy for three months. ”

"The maintenance cost is also relatively high, to transport firewood from a long distance, the fertility of the land is poor, and artificial fertilizer is required. ”

"There is also the yield, the yield per mu is about 500 catties, it can produce four seasons a year, the total output is 2,000 catties, and it can feed about 2 Snow people (the Snow people are generally two meters tall, weigh more than 200 catties, and eat a lot), and the cost-effectiveness ratio is not very high. ”

Zhou Ming also emphasized: "Although there are all kinds of shortcomings mentioned above, they are not insurmountable, and there is still a certain potential for development in agricultural production in the snowy region." ”

He said to himself, not noticing at all that all the Snow Clan people present, including the Ice and Snow Saintess, looked at him differently.

Surprise.

Amazing surprise.

It felt like picking up a piece of treasure.

A Peerless Treasure!

"Mr. Bai, please forgive me for the misunderstandings before, Elder Ulu, hold a banquet in the temple with your hands and welcome Mr. Bai to join the Snow Clan!"

The name of the Ice and Snow Saintess has also changed, and she attaches great importance to him in her words, and she will hold a grand banquet to welcome this talent to join.

She secretly said in her heart: This genius of the human race is a treasure given to the Snow Clan by God!

……

A day later.

Inside the Ice Sanctuary.

The banquet was solemnly held.

The Ice and Snow Saintess, the high-ranking elder of the Snow Clan, and more than a dozen important tribal leaders all attended.

Wine and meat are put on the table.

The song and dance performance sets off the warm atmosphere.

As the protagonist of this banquet, Zhou Ming not only did not have stage fright, but used the very fluent Snow Clan language, and told all the Snow Clan high-level executives about his "three steps to rise" in a passionate tone.

The first step is to engage in agriculture, produce grain, and solve the basic problems of survival.

The second step: promote education, enact laws, develop industry and commerce, improve management, and accumulate strength.

Step 3: Make armor, train elite soldiers, strengthen armaments, and sweep the world.

In fact, it is condensed into six words: farming first, then rioters.

is a very simple and simple truth, what Zhou Ming said can be described as endless, in one go.

The high-level leaders of the Snow Clan listened to the blood boiling, cheering again and again, and in the blazing flames of the brazier in the hall, in the burning eyes, they saw the hope of the rise of the Snow Clan one by one.

The same is true for the Ice and Snow Saintess, who sits at the top.
