Although Zhang Xiaowu is famous for defeating the alien race and achieving what he is today, it does not mean that he hates the alien race, and even he does not feel that there is anything wrong with what the alien race has done. If he is a Tartar, he must also strive for the strength of the Tartar Khanate, and if he is a Ugan man, he will also help the Ugan Empire conquer the surrounding countries. Because he is a Han Chinese, he must help the Holy Han Empire - but he has no historical hatred, even Jiu'er's hatred, after so many years of killing, he has gradually forgotten it.

Now he proposes to win over the alien race, not only because the two wolf passes are closed, but also because he wants to maintain the status and security of the ghost guard in Saibei, and he also wants the soldiers and civilians of Mucheng to live a relatively good life. To this end, he did not hesitate to make friends with foreign races, and did not hesitate to learn the culture and language of other races, and he invited four foreign people to learn Tatar, Beiyi, Wuhuan and Roland respectively.

The reason why I learned Roland is because Roland is the mother tongue of Tatar, and Tatar is divided into more than a dozen accents, and sometimes they don't understand each other's words, but everyone can understand Roland. Half of the words in the Wuhuan language are of Roland origin, and the grammatical structure of the two languages is exactly the same as the alphabet. After so many years of the fall of the Roland Empire, its language has survived.

To Zhang Xiaowu's surprise, the second lady Wanqiu's language ability was thousands of times stronger than him, and it took Zhang Xiaowu three days to memorize a Roland dialect for the same time, while Wanqiu was able to recite it word for word in just a moment, and she never forgot it for a long time. This made Zhang Xiaowu feel very envious, he firmly believed that the stupid bird flew first, but Mangzhong said bluntly: "Some stupid birds are birds, he could have flown originally, but some stupid birds were born quails and couldn't fly at all." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was so angry that his face was swollen and red, and said: "Quail, you can also fly!" Then he suddenly exclaimed, "Quail, where have you seen it?" ”

Mang Chong said: "In the past, Hu Shang brought it to Mucheng, but this thing has little meat, so everyone didn't raise it much, but it was better to raise a few chickens." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said bitterly: "It's a pity that my Northeast barbecue cooking skills, without quails, there is not a lot of fun." ”

Mang Chong said: "My lord, do you like to eat quails? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I like small animals. ”

Mang Chong said: "Adult, I also like small animals, it turns out that you also like small animals, I know for the first time, I want to raise cats, dogs, sheep, chickens, and ducklings in the house...... What about you, adults, how do you like small animals? ”

Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while, and said very seriously: "Of course I like small animals, let me tell you this - there must be no less!" ”

In April, the ice and snow completely melted, but everyone found that this year's water is much less, originally the east and west sides of the wooden city will form two natural lakes after the ice and snow melt every year, Zhang Xiaowu named the lake on the east side of the East Lake, and named the lake on the west side West Lake, but the East Lake soon dried up, and the West Lake only had a shallow layer, and it was about to dry up.

After being in the city for a long time, Zhang Xiaowu planned to take an outing by the West Lake, but he only saw this scene, and the ladies were disappointed, but Zhang Xiaowu was a little afraid, he was worried that this year would be a drought year. After the return trip, he immediately found the local gentry and asked about the climate this year, and the local gentry said that this situation was also common in previous years, but generally speaking, the time when the West Lake dried up was in June, but this year it dried up in April, which made people feel worried.

"General, there will be a drought this year." Guan Xiang inspected the local environment and asked the local elders to come to this conclusion.

"There is often a shortage of water in the wooden city, so it is not suitable for living in the first place." Zhang Xiaowu was also helpless, Mucheng was not a big city at that time, just because the underground river channel was dug here, a few wells were dug here, and it gradually became a village, a market, and a small town. And the existence of the wooden city depends entirely on the existence of underground rivers.

The underground river can supply up to 40,000 people, and Mucheng has reached its water limit if the drought breaks out this year......

"I've got a way." In order to solve the problem of water use, Zhang Xiaowu specially designed an urban underground water conservancy project similar to Xinjiang Karez, but this project has a huge investment and requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and Zhang Xiaowu can only realize it gradually.

On the one hand, a qanat was being built in the city, and on the other hand, Zhang Xiaowu sent several teams to search for other water sources, but the people who were looking for water sources unexpectedly found a salt well in the depths of the desert two hundred miles east of Mucheng. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the salt well should have been an abyss of the ocean, but because of the changes in the vicissitudes of the sea, it gradually became a hard ground buried by wind and sand. In addition to the salt well, some shells and fossils have been found, but they are somewhat vague and people do not know what fossils are.

Generally, the sea salt is relatively coarse, but the sea salt in the salt well here is delicate and bright, and there is very little bitter taste, which is the natural refined salt in the table salt. Such a good salt was found, which really made Zhang Xiaowu and others overjoyed, not only the biggest problem of the military and civilians in Mucheng was solved, but the refined salt could also be exported to foreign countries, which means that Mucheng has a natural gold mine.

Zhang Xiaowu immediately sent people to the salt well to get salt, dug a thousand stones first, and used refined salt as a welfare, and gave five catties of refined salt to each household in Mucheng according to the head. All of a sudden, every household began to make cured meat because of the increase in salt, and cured meat was hung in every part of the city, which became a scenery of the wooden city.

The lack of water in the wooden city represents the lack of water in the South Tartar Tower, and the lack does not mean the lack of water in the entire Tartar Wasteland, because the entire Saibei Wasteland is extremely rich in resources, but the division is uneven. The eastern part of the Tatar Badland is mostly desert, except for the lush vegetation on both sides of the Jialan River, the rest are dead land; The western part of the Tartar Badland receives three times as much rainfall as other regions every year, and the grasslands under the high mountains and mountains are the most suitable places for herders to live, but because of their proximity to the countries of the Western Regions, they are often harassed and plundered by the countries of the Western Regions; The southern part of the Tartar Wasteland, where the ruins of Timbertown and Roland are mostly mixed with grasslands, deserts and the Gobi Desert, is barren and lacks precipitation and water. The northern part of the Tartar Heath is mostly grasslands, forests and swamps, and is not suitable for growing any crops because it is covered with snow and ice for more than half of the year; And the middle area of the Tartar Wasteland is the most suitable for life in the Raven Gold Granary, but unfortunately now the Raven Gold Granary is in the hands of the Wuhuan people, and the meat taken away by the lions, how can the hyenas snatch it back.
