Chapter 157: Near-term worries and long-term worries

A group of children who had been screaming around the flames before suddenly dispersed as they found the future Sukarana approaching.

Seeing this, Karma couldn't help but quip: "Now I finally know who the bad guy is." Future smiled faintly: "Actually, it's not that I hate children, I just don't know how to get along with them." Those little ones, who look soft and fragile, as if they will break at the touch, but they are always running around tirelessly, making noise all day long, and I don't know where they get so much energy. ”

"Hahaha......" Yan Shuyan, who was walking towards them, couldn't help laughing,

"Children are not as fragile as you think, their self-healing ability is much stronger than adults, and they should not be underestimated. ”

"Heh, since you say that, it should be true. The future then said,

"I thought you were in the forge today, but I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

"I've been in there for a few days, and it's time to come out and breathe. With that, Yan Shu also returned to the palace with them.

"What about the new apprentices?" asked Future as he walked. Yan Shu moved the forge in the palace to the north of the city, away from the residential area, and the site was expanded.

At present, it is mainly used to create living utensils, agricultural tools, etc., and has also trained a group of new forgers.

Since the half-bloods of the Western Continent stopped their long-distance business activities, the flow of goods between the countries of the Eastern Continent has become even more lacking.

Although the level of medicine, metallurgy, construction and handicraft in the Eastern Continent was quite high, the resources and main technology were in the hands of the aristocracy, and slaves and commoners were almost only the labor force of the country's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and in order to avoid the outflow of technology, the countries have always strictly prohibited commerce.

Therefore, when this slave-free forest country reached a certain size, it had to develop its own agriculture, animal husbandry, handicrafts, and other technical capabilities needed to improve the standard of living in order to meet the growing domestic demand.

Regarding the burden of forging, it naturally fell on Yan Rui's shoulders.

"The new forgers are gradually getting started, but it's just ......" Yan Shu stopped and turned to the future and said,

"So far, we have used the secondary materials left over from the early years of fog, because we have not mined the deposits, and the old raw materials of the early years have been left after the looting of the Napolelanders. Heh, luckily we don't have a shortage of weapons. ”

"Well, that's a problem, and now that the population is growing, we have to think of something else. The future said,

"Let's go back first, and discuss it with Modi. When the three of them returned to the palace, Mo Di still buried himself in the complicated affairs, and probably never even went out of the door once today.

Karma poured a glass of water and handed it to him, saying, "If we don't come back, I'm afraid you won't even leave the table today, right?" Mo Di's eyes were already a little red, and he smiled tiredly when he heard this, looked at Yan Shu and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how is the situation at the forge over there?"

"It went well. Yan Shu walked over and closed the unfinished book of Silent Truth, urging,

"Let's go to the courtyard for a walk, you don't feel bored to sit like this all day, let Sang Wu pull you out for training tomorrow, so that people will be exhausted before the affairs are handled." ”

"Heh, I don't seem to have moved much in a while. Mo Di smiled awkwardly. In fact, Mo Di, who was born in the aristocracy, was not weak in swordsmanship.

However, during the Asmara riot, he had suffered a fatal and serious injury, and after a period of exile without healing from his injuries, he had finally settled in Jianing City, and all kinds of affairs followed, and he was so busy that he completely neglected his body.

If it weren't for Yan Xuan's deliberate reminder today, he would probably still be stabbing endlessly, right? At this point, Mo Di had to start reflecting on himself.

He has realized that this kind of self-deception is too ugly, in fact, it is useless to be obsessed with the loss of the country, it is better to do his best to protect this new home, so that himself, and all the people here, will not feel the pain of losing the country in the future.

He finally made up his mind to face the reality, and tried to cheer up and responded, "You're right, I should indeed go out and strengthen this rusty body." ”

"It's best if you think like this, you know, Jianing must not lose you. "I'm finally relieved about the future.

It is no exaggeration to say that the future is true, even if the current Jianing is missing, no one can be less silent. As early as Asmara's time, Murdi was already an excellent thinker, educator, military strategist, and inventor known in the Eastern Continent.

Today's Modi is more like a mobile library in Jianing City, which can answer the intellectual confusion of almost any resident here.

He even compiled all the knowledge in his memory into books without reservation, and then asked a group of young people such as Naxi and Kandy to sort out these books in different categories, and then copy them into multiple copies, and store them in the newly built library in Jianing City, which is open to all residents in the city to study or read.

Not only that, Yan Hong's forging techniques and Sang Wu's strategy for defending the city, etc., were also compiled into books by him.

In less than two years, the contribution of Meddy to this new country is staggering. Therefore, Sukarana will think that his role is really not worth mentioning compared to the Silent Truth, which also proves what he and the Silent Truth once said.

At the beginning of their acquaintance, when they followed the Sirvan to the Valley of the Arc Lake to join the Velochs, Murdi asked him: Do you think that the power of one person alone is enough to change such a large world?

In the future, I remember that my answer at that time was: No, but I believe that in this troubled world, there must still be many great thinkers.

As long as you find all these people, you can change the world together...... Now it seems that he did find a few amazing people.

But on the other hand, after the end of the war, he really didn't make any special contributions to Jianing City, and almost all the chores were taken care of by Mo Di alone.

Thinking that at the beginning, he had sworn to Modi that he would continue to think about how to gain the power to change the world, but now he was absent-minded and unconsciously slack, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Actually, Nahi and their young people are now able to handle some important matters independently, and I am not as busy as you think, but recently...... Alas, forget it, don't mention this. Mo Di quickly changed the subject and asked,

"You came to me together, could it be something important?"

"That's right," the future is down to,

"We didn't have much forging material left at the moment, so we wanted to brainstorm a solution. ”

"Well, that's a big problem. Murphy lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said,

"Otherwise, if some ordinary living and production utensils can be replaced by other materials, we should try to use other materials first, such as clay, rocks, wood, animal skins, etc., these are not in short supply. ”

"That's a way to do it. Kama seconded,

"In fact, in addition to sharp tools and load-bearing objects, most of the small utensils used in daily use can be replaced with other materials. Future said to himself thoughtfully: "The east of the forest is near the sea, maybe you can build some ships in the future, if you can communicate with the Western Continent, you can solve many problems......" I don't want his whisper to still attract the attention of the other three, and they can't help but be surprised: "Shipbuilding?

"No, don't care, I'm just talking about it. The future immediately rejected the idea that came to his mind.

Not to mention how difficult it is for the current Jianing people to build a ship, in fact, except for the future Sukaranna, there is no one else in Jianing City who has sailing experience, let alone shipbuilding technology.

In addition, it is a long voyage from the east coast of the East Continent to the east coast of the West Continent, which may take nearly two years, which is impossible for the current Jianing people.

Unless the Jianing people expand their territory to the west coast of the Eastern Continent, they will not be able to sail from here to the Western Continent for the next ten years.

Of course, Yan Shu and Kama didn't know what Future Sukarana was thinking, because they didn't know anything about his past, and they didn't even think about the Western Continent, it was too far away for them, like a legend, so they didn't really take it to heart.

But the truth is realised. In fact, the future is quite far-sighted, but the premise is that Jianing people must have excellent shipbuilding technology and navigation ability, otherwise it cannot be realized.

Thinking about the fact that he used to look at the West alone in a daze, it is not difficult to speculate that he should be no stranger to the Western Continent...... But since he didn't want to mention more, Mo Di didn't want to ask, after all, for now, this proposal was really difficult to achieve.
