Chapter 108: The Shadow of Frost is Looming
"Are you crazy? Five years of charging of the Frost Hammer, you're going to use it for an ethereal coordinate? ”
Augustus didn't even raise his eyelids in response to the council's questioning, as if he was just saying something insignificant, just a faint way.
"I think I have the right to do this, and the use of the Frost Hammer to strike at the Eastern Continent should have been predetermined"
"But that's for the Empire!"
"The empire is gone, if you're talking about those bugs in the shadows, they have long been abandoned by the world, I think it's far less than a city-state in the Eastern Continent."
Maybe it's not a city-state, it's just the coordinates that your secretary handed out haphazardly after getting lost in space, and they didn't ask, and it was Augustus' duty and right to control the Frost Hammer.
What's more, he also gave such a legitimate reason, as long as this coordinate does not deviate to which wilderness range, this is enough to deter the Eastern Continent and facilitate future plans.
It's just that the faces of some of the people present quickly turned gloomy.
After the meeting was dismissed, the new clerk, Dahl, followed behind Augustus like a fart, looking like he wanted to say something.
"You think I'm irrational, don't you?"
"No, no, no, my lord, how dare I"
Auguston paused, silently unfurled the soundproof barrier, and continued to walk.
"How you dare, not what you think, right?"
"This..."
"That's the biggest difference between you and Gavy"
"You're right, it's irrational, but have you ever thought about it, the Frost Hammer has been in control of my department for so many years, and even accumulated five years of charging, is it really for the Eastern Continent project that can't even see the shadow?"
Dahl was obviously puzzled, but this was also expected by Augustus, and his new scribe was as unrealistic as everyone else on the western continent.
"The church is far less powerful than it was back then, otherwise where would this committee of ten come from?"
Cold sweat immediately broke out on Dahl's forehead, he was not stupid, and naturally understood what his boss was saying.
"What do you mean..."
"This is a preventive shot, the charge is gone, but the Frost Hammer is still there, I don't want to be used as a gun, but I also want to retain my own value, so I can only do this, if you want to continue to stay in this department, you still have a lot to learn"
"Yes! Adult"
……
Since the introduction of new planting methods, there is no shortage of food in Drifting Snow City, but fresh vegetables and fruits are scarce in the Northland, and some people suffer from scurvy at every turn, ranging from weakness in the limbs to even bleeding from the mouth and tongue and falling out of teeth, which is called the curse of death in the Northland by many people.
After the establishment of the Shenglong Transit Center, this problem has been improved, and every year Drifting Snow City will buy a large number of vegetables and resell them to the market at a very low price, and everyone has a limit, and the reselling is severely punished.
This is more than the accounts have always been the bulk of the daily expenses of Drifting Snow City, often forming a deficit on the bill, but it is useless to let Leo howl, the Northland just can't grow temperate fruits, at most you can only cultivate raspberries, which is better than nothing.
The old stonemason Buzz's greenhouse plan went well, and the ventilation system on the second floor of the original ironworks was relaid, and the superheated air from the first floor was pumped into the suspended partition below the second floor by using a steam engine, and then released through the chimney, and the temperature in the room could be completely controlled by changing the speed of the air supply.
In order to ensure light weight and leave enough counterweight for the soil layer for cultivation, the greenhouse is completely made of hollow steel frame structure, each piece of glass is tightly fitted with the steel frame, and the greenhouse roof structure and self-heating will not lead to snow accumulation.
Leo personally bought several orange trees and citron trees from the southern port at a large price, and airlifted them all the way to the greenhouse without stopping, and according to the observation, it was obvious that they were planted.
"Teacher, the fruit farmer you are looking for is here."
"Call Him to Me"
Mu Feng's face was strange, but he didn't say anything, he retreated directly, and brought in a person from outside, Leo was also stunned, a little crying and laughing.
"Barrow, are you kidding me?"
It was the old subordinate Barrow who came, from the royal capital to Drifting Snow City, the old guard captain was dutiful, and now that he was old, he should be at ease to retire, but it made the old Barrow, whose sense of existence had declined as rapidly as his hair recently, have a clear sense of crisis.
"Haha, old man, how dare I tease adults, before joining the Royal Capital Guard, I used to take care of the orchard with my father in Nanfang Harbor for ten years, and my childhood was basically spent in the aroma of fruit trees"
Leo really didn't see that the old Barrow, who was like the master of the door, still had this specialty, but he was also a little relieved, this batch of fruit trees was worth a lot, and he would definitely worry for a while when the silver was handed over to others.
"Will there be some grafting and seedling?"
The old god of Barrow is here, and it is obvious that Leo has asked the right question, which can allow him to show his ability a little.
"Naturally, there is no problem, you must know that if ordinary fruit trees are not grafted, the taste and yield are extremely poor, and in order to ensure the yield, my hometown will also be pollinated by hand."
Leo's signature smile appeared, and Mu Feng shuddered, generally in this case, either someone is going to be pitted or someone is going to be bald.
Thankfully, given the agreement between the princess and Leo, Mu Feng was strongly urged to reduce his workload, but recently the two of them have begun to arrange some light clothes for themselves after work, and the design is more and more feminine, perhaps because of their own delusion.
Leo stuffed the prepared route map to Old Barrow, but Old Barrow was shocked when he saw it, which was simply unheard of, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Can you graft lime and citron to get this called lemon? Four seasons oranges are actually grafted from ornamental small kumquat and wide peel orange? ”
In addition to a few cultivated varieties on the market, there are many fruits that have never been heard of, and they are priceless treasures that are kept secret in any manor.
Old Barrow's breathing was a little heavier, and he thought that he was too old to keep up with the pace of Drifting Snow City, so he should only come and plant fruit trees to warm up.
But this is by no means as simple as residual heat, in addition to the public part of the orchard in Drifting Snow City, there are also contract systems, and he can even monopolize an entire fruit series with this, which means that this is a completely undeveloped new treasure.
"The follow-up fruit tree seedlings will arrive soon, come on and work hard"
Leo pretended to pat Old Barrow on the back deeply, the route map should be correct, but he knew that it was not so simple to breed new varieties, and the profits of the contracted varieties should be appeased in advance, and looked at the Mediterranean Sea where Old Barrow had few roots, Leo was much more relieved.
