Chapter 62 Inspection
Bai Xiaofei took the time to inspect the grain cultivation situation before returning to Dark Moon City, and tens of thousands of people in the future will need to be fed by this land. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe seeds obtained from the secret warehouse have been specially cultivated and planted in different soils. The land of the demon clan is fertile, and there are green seedlings as far as the eye can see, and the crowd gathers in three or five to cultivate in the fields.
Hu Zhi pointed to the houses outside the field and said, "Without Miss's instructions, I temporarily let them build temporary accommodation out of wood. The emperor divided 100,000 kilometers of land to the young lady. The demon population is small, so there are only 10,000 people. I chose the most fertile land for cultivation, and half of the people were devoted to planting. ”
"All the planting is done by hand? Don't have specialized farming equipment? Bai Xiaofei saw that sometimes someone in the crowd stood up and beat his waist when he was tired, rested for a while and continued to bend down to weed, turn the soil or sow seeds. These scenes have only been seen in video materials in the previous life, large-scale agricultural machine promotion, intensive land cultivation, and only people operating machines can be seen busy when the farm is busy. "Harvesting and processing after maturity are also done manually?"
It's no surprise that Hu Zhi asked Bai Xiaofei such a common-sense question, who let Bai Xiaofei come from a good background. "Madam, whether it is a demon or a human race, this is how they grow food. The Terrans have enough manpower, so they have a lot of land to cultivate. The demons are short of manpower, farming is very tiring, and the benefits are insignificant. Therefore, except for the hard indicators ordered by the emperor to be completed, almost all the demons did not have the idea of reclaiming wasteland. People would rather go hunting and farming, and meat is better than plants. But since the emergence of the food city, everyone's enthusiasm for farming has been high, and many civilians have been able to get rid of poverty through farming. ”
"Patriarch Hu, you first let them cultivate according to the traditional method. When I developed the machinery suitable for planting, I began to open up the land on a large scale. Now we need to first of all improve the living conditions of everyone. That's how they have the passion to build. Several neighboring communities are to be built, houses are to be agreed to be built, and medical centers, colleges, and shops of all kinds are to be built. Bai Xiaofei explained.
Hu Zhi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, but with the experience of the tunnel, Hu Zhi no longer dared to say anything like Bai Xiaofei's whimsy. "Does Madame want to build a town?"
Bai Xiaofei shook his head: "No, it's just a large community." This is an agricultural area, and later an industrial area will also be established, and a special commercial center will be established. Let's take it one step at a time! Until then, I have to build all the roads. ”
Hu Zhi estimated the cost and reminded: "If all the facilities are operated like this, we need a lot of budget. And the pace of construction will be very slow. Although trees and stones are everywhere, they are expensive to transport. ”
Bai Xiaofei chuckled: "It's enough to use cement." You go to someone who is good at building a house, and replace wood and stone with cement. The iron-making industry of the demons is very developed, and all the supporting pillars are made of steel. Let them figure out for themselves how to figure it out. Prehistoric humans could have built with both of these things, and they could have built hundreds of floors. Whoever figured out how to build a house with cement and steel, I asked the emperor to personally receive it and reward him with 100,000 gold coins. I plan to build a high-rise building in the 100,000 mountains in the future. ”
Hu Zhi wanted to refute, but Bai Xiaofei smiled evilly: "Patriarch Hu still wants to say that it is impossible?" Why don't we bet? The fox clan has become one of the richest races because of the peach blossom brew, right? ”
Hu Zhi hurriedly shook his head: "Madam, no one in the demon clan will bet with you now." Madame is good at solving complex problems with simple things, and I am sure Madame will be able to do it. It's just that the lady said that the emperor would personally meet with the person who researched the building process, and reward 100,000 gold coins, is this a bit inappropriate? Although the demons are much better to civilians than the human race, the difference in rank is there, and it is not good for Madame to do this. ”
Bai Xiaofei suddenly realized: "Yes, I forgot that there is a difference in civic rank. One more thing: Whoever researches a new building process will be directly upgraded to level 5 of citizenship. "The sixth level is the nobility, and the nobles of the demon clan must have outstanding military exploits to be evaluated. Level 5 citizenship is the goal of many civilians, which represents social status and wealth.
Hu Zhi only gave the ball to the Demon Emperor again, and said stubbornly: "You must have the emperor's order, and others have no right to skip the level of citizens." ”
Bai Xiaofei glared at Hu Zhi: "Every time you don't agree with something, you always say that." You, like An He, don't believe me. ”
Hu Zhi made a bitter face: "Madam, where is this?" Is the emperor more protective of his wife than a simple sentence of 'I believe in you'? The emperor took the responsibility on himself, rather than letting his wife bear it alone. ”
"Humph!" Bai Xiaofei huffed and turned his head away. I actually agree with Hu Zhi's statement in my heart, but I can't save face. I left home in a bad mood, can't An He come to pick me up in person except for calling Feixun? I have to go back by myself, it's really cheap.
Bai Xiaofei and Hu Zhi walked to the field while talking, and Bai Xiaofei planned to comfort the hard-working civilians. Of course, this kind of pro-people behavior made the guards around him look nervous, and it should be said that the guards have been on high alert since he left Dark Moon City. Anhe has a very strict control over the personnel of the demon clan, and everyone needs to handle identity information, which is better than in the previous life. Can you still have an accident here?
"Madame Protection!" The voice of the chief guard exploded in Bai Xiaofei's ears. Without waiting for Bai Xiaofei to react, Hu Zhi pressed Bai Xiaofei down. The panic of the working civilians could be heard all around, but it was not long before they were gathered by the well-trained guards, and did not cause confusion to the guards.
Bai Xiaofei lay on the ground, a meter away from him full of arrows, this kind of silent and very fast arrow-like bow and arrow is difficult to do. "Is this a steel crossbow?" Bai Xiaofei asked Hu Zhi, who was also lying down beside him, with a depressed face.
Hu Zhi said dryly: "Yes." ”
"As soon as I took out the steel crossbow, it was confiscated by An He, and I didn't even give it to the Bai family. After the war, I wanted to give Anhe no way, and now the steel crossbow is attacking me? Don't tell me, it's the demon army that attacked me in front. Bai Xiaofei gritted his teeth and said.
Hu Zhi replied with a sad face: "The steel crossbow has been quickly equipped in various troops, and the technology of the steel crossbow is listed as a high-level secret of the demon clan. Even the workers in the workshop are craftsmen who have signed a lifetime agreement, and the defense is extremely tight. In addition to the army and royal guards, even the noble guards were not equipped. ”
"Can they stop it?" Bai Xiaofei asked worriedly. The steel crossbow itself was already powerful, and the firing device was improved by itself; He set up another process and engraved the formation engraved with the flying technique on the arrows. I dug a hole for myself.
