Listening to the village chief's reason, Ma Long couldn't help but cry and laugh.

He didn't think about it that much at first, just to cope with the great changes in the future and improve the military power of the kingdom as much as possible.

Due to resource constraints, it is impossible for him to feed everyone as an army, and the country does not have the capacity to do so.

Therefore, they came up with a plan to speed up the flow of military personnel and implement the plan of hiding troops from the people through recruitment, retirement, and resettlement of militias.

Last year, the army recruited a small number of people, and the number was a little insufficient, and he was still thinking about whether to implement a compulsory military system - that is, every person of appropriate age should be forced to perform military service.

Malone has been thinking about this issue alone, and it is up to Harvey and other military leaders to make plans.

Now it seems that it is not used at all.

Where is the effect of coercive measures as good as these people's voluntariness?

Even if the idea is not simple, there will always be people who are attracted by the rapid improvement of the army's strength and want to stay.

Besides, where in this world are there people who are completely innocent and have no other ideas?

Ma Long is not afraid that his subordinates will have ideas, let alone the people will have ideas.

Only with ideas can we have greater motivation and create greater value......

He asked some specific questions, and after knowing that there were not a few people who had such thoughts, he already had a spectrum in his heart.

This time, he unexpectedly solved a troublesome problem, and he was already very satisfied.

Sure enough, in order to develop, we still have to go deep among the masses.

The motherland in his previous life has pointed out the way forward for Ma Long.

Next, he changed his land route to a water route, separated from the army, and sailed down the river all the way to the south.

This move confused the people who were secretly watching, what did King Seris think?

Sure enough, he is one of the most difficult people on the mainland to figure out his ideas.

Malone didn't know he had such a name.

Naturally, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care, he did it on purpose.

After all, the value orientation of the two lives is different from that of the people in this world.

Others use the concept of this world to guess Ma Long's thoughts, which naturally seems difficult to understand!

His original purpose on this trip south was to settle down in the heart of the earth.

While creating a rich land, cultivate a capable helper, or a thug?

The army is the protection of the future, but it is not the people who are protected, but the heart of the earth.

Ma Long made such a scene, which was deliberately to confuse others.

It is almost impossible for his actions to remain completely unknown.

Just do whatever you want, go wherever you want, and let others guess!

Even if someone really finds the secret, it is after most of them are eliminated, how much can they do under the siege of the army?

This reduces the burden of future conservation efforts.

It's a pity that the Heart of the Earth must be used by Malone himself, otherwise it will be done by sending a trustworthy subordinate casually, and there is no need to be so troublesome.

And once activated, displacement skills such as teleportation techniques cannot be used in a radius of thousands of miles, otherwise they can also be easily hidden, and there is no need to make such a huge momentum as now.

But it's okay, Ma Long is just looking to see the current changes in the south of Seris, so he should stop by, anyway, someone will take care of the affairs of the royal capital.

It's just that I don't know what the expressions of the people in charge will have when they learn that their own king thinks like this, maybe they're used to it?

With Ilia with her, the two cliff eagles in the sky stretched their wings and glided along, acting as the first observers.

On both sides of the river, you can occasionally see villages with a large population, sparse and sparse, and there is only one far away.

"When will there be a population density from a past life?" Malone thought regretfully more than once.

This world is sparsely populated, and even if he has been absorbing people from all over the world, even at the cost of taking in foreigners, it has not changed the fact that Seris is too small in population.

In order for society to develop, it is necessary to leave the division of labor and cooperation of a small number of people.

After experiencing the population explosion in the previous life, the country with a population of one million is really nothing to praise in Ma Long's eyes.

The boat he was on was not big, it was found temporarily, and it couldn't be compared with the big ships on the Golong River in the north, but fortunately, Ma Long didn't care about these.

Facing the river breeze and looking at both sides of the river, you can see the traces of the big octopus in many places.

The accumulation of sand dikes has also been mostly treated by shamans, similar to the spell of turning soil into stone to prevent soil erosion.

On the shore, some workers were busy moving materials, and Malone could tell at a glance that they were installing a waterwheel, after all, he was involved in the original design.

Along the way down the river, you can still see farmers digging pits with hoes or planting saplings.

This is engaging in greening, and of course, it is also the condition negotiated when the elves sent their troops.

I don't know if others are complying with Malone, but he himself still tries to do everything he promised.

Besides, the improved bread trees are planted, and the harvest can be seen after a few years.

Planting trees is also an important way to prevent soil erosion.

Ma Long let the river be diverted, so naturally he had to try his best to take some precautions.

Wizards have limited magic power and are too expensive to use, so they can only be used in key and important places, and most of the general areas are still dominated by conventional methods.

Besides, if the wizards really did everything, wouldn't the river workers be unemployed!

Boom, boom, boom......

Far away, Malone heard a continuous sound downstream, which was the sound of the big octopus during construction.

Unlike the roar of machinery in the previous life, the large octopus, the main construction force of Seris, is much more violent.

It seemed to sense Ma Long's arrival from a distance, and its movements became a little more intense.

The wizards' spells of turning fossils into mud made the earth and stone soft, and the octopus's wheeled tentacles made it look the way it wanted.

The boat went down the river, and after turning a mountain mouth, the construction site appeared in front of Ma Long's eyes.

The most conspicuous natural is the large octopus, which has tentacles up to 100 meters long.

If it is spread horizontally in all directions, it is a circle with a diameter of 200 meters.

I saw that his four wrists and feet straddled, erecting himself on both sides of the river, and the other four tentacles waved in the air, driving a long wooden stake into the bottom of the riverbed.

"Is this building a bridge?"

Like Ma Long, Illya also saw the construction of the big octopus for the first time and was deeply shocked by the scene.

Well-informed, she could see at a glance what the engineering team was doing.

From afar, everyone saw the boats coming from the river, and they wondered why someone came at this time, and they saw the big octopus tentacles dancing wildly, and seemed to be extremely excited.

As soon as the four wrists and feet on the shore were loosened, the entire huge body fell into the water, and smashed the huge waves more than ten meters high with a bang.

Caught off guard, the wizard who was directing above his head and the workers who were carrying the materials along the tentacles as scaffolds fell into the river with a splash.

"Ah......h

"Help......

"Quick, help!"

In an instant, there was a burst of chickens and dogs! I want to talk about "Crossing with a Panel" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
