Act VI The Establishment of the City

"The house you're talking about must be an empty shell, right?" Zhulu turned back to Chen Tu.

"Our future needs to be a joint effort." Chen Tu shook his whiskers and said something incoherent. "But I already have a blueprint, and we need to come together and do something new." Chen Tu said resolutely.

"It's true that people who have been to the Far East think differently from us rats." Zhulu said admiringly.

"How? Why don't you do it together? Chen Tu patted Zhulu's shoulder, as if he was persuading the little brother.

"Yes." Zhulu directly agreed to Chen Tu, and he continued, "It's definitely not enough to rely on us rats, we need to gather more rats." ”

"It's true, we need to be united." Chen Tu said. "Then without further ado, let's get to work at once, and we'll move your people to a new settlement first."

"That's fine." Zhulu thought for a while and said. Then he gathered all the rats, and the rats here lived a primitive life, with no belongings except food, and there was not much food, and a mouse could easily carry a bag of grain.

"By the way, what's that book you're reading?" Chen Tu and Zhulu walked in front of them idlely, and asked curiously.

"Did you say it's this book?" Zhulu took a book from his body, and wrote "Mouse Story" on it, "This was given to me by a traveler when I went to the capital of the Moon Mo Country, books have always been treasures, even the nobles of the Moon Mo Country may not have books in their homes." ”

"That must be precious?"

"That's nature."

The distance from the bamboo forest to the house of the sound warbler is not very far, and the houses in the woods can be faintly seen in half a day's journey. At this time, the sun has not yet set, so the light is still very bright.

"You don't mean the house in the distance, do you?" Zhulu's observation ability is still very strong, and he thought of Chen Tu's previous words again, and asked with some uneasiness.

"yes, what's wrong?" Chen Tu was very surprised, so far away the bamboo deer could notice it, worthy of being a rat who could be the leader of a party, and sure enough, there were two brushes.

"It's human territory! Are you crazy? Zhulu began to be a little panicked, and he questioned Chen Tu.

"What age is it, it's time to change the backward thinking, it's true to be honest, the human beings there support me very much." Chen Tu's tone was very firm, and he wanted to try to convince Zhulu.

Zhulu will be suspicious, maybe he can't keep up with the times, it seems that he is right to follow Chen Tu.

"Maybe, I believe you." Zhulu said.

Chen Tu shrugged his shoulders, led the bamboo deer to a piece of high ground, pointed to the land that had been demarcated before, and said, "That is the field I have demarcated, and there is a stream to the west, and I plan to let you settle between the two." I'll hand you the drawings when I go back, and our city needs to be planned. ”

Seeing Chen Tu's confident appearance, Zhulu's mood couldn't help but calm down a little, in fact, he also had lofty ambitions in his heart, such as the battlefield back then...... However, that was all in the past, and now Zhulu has a chance to start over.

"Are you sure this mountain bag can be dug up?" The bamboo deer was a little puzzled, although the soil under his feet was not very deep, and there would be stones in it, and it was the kind that was conjoined.

"It's time for us to think differently." Chen Tu said unhurriedly like a master. "First we should dig up the earth above the stones, then build our houses out of burnt wood, and then half of them should be exposed to the ground. We can't just live underground, that would be detrimental to our development. ”

Underground activities waste a lot of energy, and the first thing to do now is to settle the migrating rats. Then the land is cleared, and that's all that matters.

The area from farmland to streams is wide enough and relatively high enough to be damp enough to support the development of a city in the future. Of course, this refers to the City of Rats.

"We're going to set up an open-air tent today, and we're going to start diverting the river to the west early tomorrow morning next to the fields to be developed, and we'll have enough building materials to clear the fields there." Chen Tu shared his thoughts with Zhulu.

"Tomorrow I'll be in charge of separating the woods around the farmland, and you go digging the canal." Takeka assigned the task.

"Although you are old, it is inevitable to call you uncle, so let's call you Brother Zhu." Chen Tu has made a friend who can help him today.

Zhulu couldn't help but touch the back of his head when he heard Chen Tu call himself "Brother Zhu", for so many years, Zhulu really has no brothers, "Okay, I'll answer your brother." Zhulu said happily.

"Brother Zhu, I want to know if there are any larger rat tribes around." This is what Chen Tu is eager to know, after all, there is a shortage of manpower now, and it is difficult to turn around everything.

"Let's talk about the rats around here." Zhulu twisted the rat's whiskers and continued: "This is the Feishan Territory in the Cuckoo District, there are no resources, and we can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and there are fierce beasts infested, so there is no big tribe, and my tribe is the largest within a radius of more than ten miles." However, there should be 5,000 rats here, after all, the entire Peach Blossom Source is still very large, if it is the entire Qilian District, there should be no more than 50,000 rats, I have been to other places, it is better to fly to the mountain. ”

"If Brother Yizhu goes to migrate, how many mice can you bring back?" Chen Tusi thought about it, after all, if you are not familiar with life in this place, there will definitely be a lot of rats who don't believe in themselves, and in this case, the degree of gathering rats will be very slow.

"More than two thousand, I guess the other rats, if they don't have too many benefits, they won't come." Zhulu calculated carefully before giving this more accurate answer.

"Really?" Chen Tu's eyes lit up, he also thought that Zhulu could only gather four or five hundred mice, so that two thousand rats could be summoned at once, and other projects could be carried out. However, Chen Tu still thought about it, if it was two thousand mice, the pressure on grain and grass would be a little great, and there would be no need for so many rats in the early development.

"But we only need a thousand mice in the early stage, and this matter will trouble you, Brother Zhu." Chen Tu said.

"No problem, wrap it up on me." Zhulu patted his fat body and said confidently.

At this time, the sun had already set on the other side of the mountain, and Chen Tu, who had been running for a day, was ready to rest.
