Chapter 118: Preparations (4th Update)
Three years ago, a new witch courtyard was added next to Huodu Square, built in front of the Tapir Temple, the courtyard is large, but the decoration inside is very simple.
The Witch Courtyard was built for Shao, it was the place where he worked, and the rows of houses in the courtyard were full of people coming in and out, and they were very busy.
The central room is very spacious, and Shao works in it, but the first thing you see when you enter the room is not Shao, but Shao's assistants.
There were more than 20 people, each with a table, which was piled up with animal skin scrolls, some assistants were writing and drawing, and some of them got up from time to time to send the animal skin rolls in their hands to the table closest to the inner room.
He took the scroll and asked the person who brought it what it was, and when he was sure of the content, he decided to keep it.
There is no need to send many animal skin rolls into the inner room, Shao has too many things to be busy, and there is no need to bother Shao if you can call the shots below.
"Smack. ”
The door was pushed open, and a man walked in in a hurry, went straight to a desk on the side, and handed over the animal skin scroll.
Zhao looked over and frowned.
The person who came in in the wind and fire was recognized by him as the mayor of Qianzhen, who was currently organizing the work of the experimental field of newly planted yellow millet in Qianzhen.
The assistant he went to see was also in charge of this area, and it seemed that something had happened in the experimental field in Qianzhen, otherwise he would not have come in person, and he would still be so in a hurry.
Although he had the answer in his heart, he didn't rush to get up and go over.
Shao doesn't like people who are flustered, and likes things to move forward in an orderly manner according to the planned route, so he just needs to sit here and wait quietly.
Sure enough, the mayor of Qianzhen said a few words to the assistant, and the assistant took him to Zhao.
"Farmers gather and do not accept Qianzhen as a test field. ”
The assistant said.
Zhao nodded and looked at the mayor of Qianzhen: "The terms and compensation have been clearly stated?"
"To make it clear, I said it personally, but because of last year's incident, everyone is still worried that now that the spring planting season has arrived, it can't be delayed any longer. ”
The mayor of Qianzhen said in embarrassment.
Zhao nodded, understanding that this matter is no wonder to the mayor of Qianzhen.
The cause of the matter also starts from the promotion of the yellow millet seeds sent by the tree tribe, last year the seeds came down, and the tree tribe said that the results were gratifying, which is double the current yield of yellow millet.
Shao was naturally overjoyed with such good news and ordered the sowing without hesitation.
This is a good thing, but after that kind of seed is sown, two-thirds of it does not grow, and the specific reason is unknown, but the impact is still very large.
Fortunately, the seeds that grew did double, so that the total amount of yellow millet reached the sixth layer in previous years, and there was no major turmoil in the tribe.
It's just that those farmers who didn't get out of the yellow millet had a miserable life.
This year, Shao Ke didn't dare to play like last year, and promoted it the same, but only carried out experimental fields in small towns, and did not carry out comprehensive promotion.
"Wait a minute. ”
Zhao got up and walked to the back door, knocking lightly.
"Come in. ”
A clear voice sounded, it was Shao's.
Push the door in, and after a while, he opened the door again and asked the mayor of Qianzhen to enter.
"Witch. ”
The crowd saluted.
Shao nodded without raising his head, still giving instructions on the animal skin scroll in his hand, and waited for the full stop on the animal skin scroll before he raised his head and glanced at everyone.
"The mayor of the town tells me about the situation. ”
Shao's sideburns have a hint of white, not much, but they are very eye-catching.
The mayor of Qianzhen hurriedly nodded and began to narrate: "After our Qianzhen was determined ten days ago, the townspeople began to oppose it, so I went door to door to say ......."
Shao listened as he lowered his head and pulled over a leather roll on the table.
He can use two minds, and he can listen to and correct government affairs.
"I have explained the policy, if there is an accident, the compensation has been said, and they have all accepted it, but in the past two days, it has begun to repeat, and today it is even more troublesome in the town, and I don't agree. ”
The mayor of Qianzhen frowned and said anxiously.
Shao nodded, corrected the animal skin scroll with his hand, looked up at the mayor of Qianzhen slightly, and said, "Is anyone doing anything about it?"
He lowered his head and looked at the scroll of animal skin he was writing.
"I looked into it, and no. ”
The mayor of Qianzhen said.
Shao nodded, did not reply in a hurry, but completely approved the animal skin scroll in his hand, and then raised his head to look at Zhao: "Tell me about the source of this matter." ”
With that, he drew a new scroll of animal skins and began to read it.
Taking a step forward, he said: "Five days ago, rumors began to appear in the tribe about the poison of the transformed yellow millet, and the current scope of this incident includes grain prices, granaries, and experimental fields, and the origin of the rumors has not yet been found. ”
Shao nodded, and said without raising his head: "Mayor Town, do you know the reason?"
"I see, there must be some townspeople who have heard this rumor, so they refuse to plant the variant yellow millet. ”
The mayor replied.
Shao finished the animal skin scroll and looked up at everyone.
"The source of the matter has been found, it's not that someone deliberately spread rumors, it's the people of the Tree Tribe who were accidentally heard during the discussion, and it will be like this with false rumors, more appeasement, more explanation, just say that the high-level leaders of the Fire Tribe are eating, you can show up and say it, eat it on the spot, understand?"
Shao looked at the mayor of Qianzhen and said.
"Understood. ”
The mayor of Qianzhen hurriedly replied.
Shao nodded and let them out, but left the photo behind.
"Wu, is there anything else?"
Zhao Xingli asked.
"It was the discussion between the fire god and the tree totem that was passed on by the people of the tree tribe, and the fire god had no idea at the time, and said it in the thick fog phantom, and then it was heard. ”
Shao explained.
Zhao nodded, understanding that Shao's explanation to him was definitely not so simple, and continued to wait for Shao's instructions.
"But the shadow of the grain merchants can be seen in this matter, they are amplifying the terror, and I have asked the justices to intervene. ”
Shao paused, and glanced out the window behind him, where he could see the square, and the view was very good.
"A few grain merchants have been arrested and severely punished, you should let the people below prepare, the propaganda must keep up, and the ugly behavior of these people who ignore the interests of the alliance and raise prices must be criticized more in the alliance newspaper. ”
"Yes. ”
Shine back to the Tao with a straight body.
Shao nodded, took out a cloth bag from under the table, and handed it to Zhao: "Your daughter has given birth, this is a gift prepared by your sister for your wife, accept it." ”
Zhao immediately stepped forward to pick it up and said, "Thank you, teacher, thank you." ”
Shao smiled and asked, "How many days off are you given?"
Zhao immediately shook his head and said, "Now is the critical moment of change, and students will not leave their posts." ”
"Don't be so serious. ”
Shao waved his hand and said: "Now is the preparation stage, how can there be any critical moment, the decision to ban the knife is wrong, it has been verified, tell the people below not to work hard in this matter anymore, you also rest for a few days, how can your wife not accompany you when she gives birth." ”
Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still listened to the teacher's words, and said, "I will rest tomorrow and stand guard for the teacher for another day." ”
Shao nodded, not too concerned about these details, and said: "In the past few days of your absence, let Yu take your place." ”
"Yes. ”
"It's nothing, you go out. ”
Shao waved his hand, and Zhao turned to leave, but as soon as he pushed the door open, he immediately stood up straight and took a step back, and said in a loud voice: "Hello marshal." ”
Shao also raised his head and saw Kai coming over.
"Oh, how did you have the kung fu to come to me?"
As he spoke, he said to the photo who had not yet gone out: "Send a glass of water to the marshal." ”
"On the question of changing guards. ”
A beard grew on his mouth, and the whole person looked much calmer than before: "This time I want to move the earth tribe, they are becoming more and more greedy." ”
Shao glanced at the photo of him who hadn't gone out yet, waved his hand to let him leave, and then looked at him and asked, "Why did you suddenly remember them?"
"They intercepted a caravan that was going to deliver food to the Ice Bear Tribe. ”
He said.
"How did I not know?"
Shao asked with a frown.
"The army was the first to get the news and sent it directly to me, and I came over. ”
He said.
"Are there any casualties?"
Shao asked with concern.
"No, not in the military newspapers. ”
He replied.
Shao let out a long breath and said, "Press it first, the Iron Eating Tribe is coming over, the Fire God attaches great importance to this matter, and before they settle down, they will press down on what they can suppress." ”
He nodded, in understanding.
The matter of the Iron Eating Tribe coming over, the Fire God mentioned it not once or twice, but the Miao tribe has not done the work of the Iron Eating Tribe.
In the past two years, there was a time when it was said that the Iron Eating Tribe agreed, but then it changed again, which disappointed the Vulcan for a while.
Although disappointed, the Vulcan was not dissatisfied, which also made them notice the special importance that the Vulcan attached to this tribe, so Shao Cai asked Kai to suppress this matter.
"The Iron Eater Tribe won't change his mind this time, right?"
Xiang Shao asked.
"Probably not, I heard that it's not far from Dragon City, but these guys are really slow, and I don't know what the Vulcan likes about them. ”
Shao said with a wry smile.
This iron-eating tribe is in a hurry to play as if it is okay, stop to find a forest to eat and drink, the people of their tribe are okay, mainly their companion beast iron-eating beast, which is said to be very willful.
This temperament is not popular in the Fire Tribal Alliance, after Shao's three-year rectification, there are not many people in the alliance who dare to be willful.
He's different from Hachidai Witch.
Shao is rigorous and serious, and he can't stand the freedom and casualness the most, and he can't accept the temperament of the iron-eating tribe.
But fortunately, the god of fire specially created a bamboo forest for them, saying that it was used as a private place for the iron-eating tribe, and he was not allowed to participate in it.
That's fine, it's better to treat these guys as the pets of the god of fire than to contradict them yourself.
"Next year will be the five-year period, are you ready for the work of the household?"
He couldn't help but ask.
The implementation of the policy of compiling households and uniting the people is very slow, and even in the fire capital, only a small part of the trial operation is carried out, let alone outside.
But Shao has been making preparations in the past few years, and he has considered all aspects, and he thinks that it is not a big problem.
"I didn't find anything missing, the problem shouldn't be big, you must thoroughly adjust the army this year, once the household is organized and the people are united, there can't be any problems on your side. ”
Shao emphasized.
He nodded, he was sure that there was no problem here, because all the totem spirits of the standing army were given by him.
This made his relationship with the army very close.
