Chapter 12 Short-sighted people are everywhere

"Lord Mubi, we have a total of four fields that can be planted in Luoxue Town, all of which are located in the south of Luoxue Town, that is, in the direction of the national capital. Three-quarters of them are planted with wheat and other crops, and the rest of the fields are planted with various vegetables, melons and fruits, etc., and then the tea fields are planted on the mountainside where Millai hunts, and there is a small patch of tea trees. ”

"Do you have cotton, I mean very flowery, white, fluffy kind of thing. According to what he found before, there should be no cotton in Luoxue Town, but the bedding in the lord's mansion where Wang Mubi slept turned out to be cotton, which is very interesting.

"There is cotton, but we don't grow it here, because the cotton we grow is gray and the yield is very low. However, cotton, which is popular with everyone, is white, so we here, after planting it for a while, we gave it up. At present, most of the cotton in the entire Snow Age City is traded with other principalities, so only the nobles usually use cotton items. Ella explained in detail.

"So, what do you rely on to keep you warm? Also, close to the dark fortress, it should get colder and colder, and what do the soldiers over there rely on for heating?" Wang Mubi took a sip of tea.

"Well, the hemp clothes and bedding we generally use, sometimes we will stuff sun-dried ears of wheat into the bedding, as for the soldiers, they all rely on charcoal fires or trees to keep warm, everyone takes turns to keep vigil, and the fire will not be extinguished all night, because there is no human population in the dark area, so there is wood everywhere to use, so every year when it passes and leaves, everyone will cut down enough trees to use, and in terms of heating, there is no need to bear the burden of falling snow town. Ella looked a little melancholy.

"I think of your brother? I think they're going to have a bad year! I just read the records, last year, the mayor of the town led half of the town's young people over, which is much more than the number of troops sent by the royal capital, but...... So many people died last year, causing many people to move out of Luoxue Town this year, so this time the young people who pulled over were less than one-third of last year's. With all due respect, it's all light when I say it's not good, and it's very likely that the result this time will be that the whole army will be wiped out, and then the monster will come straight to Falling Snow Town. "Wang Mubi is not alarmist, but in fact, many people in the town can see the results, but now those who are still willing to stick to Luoxue Town are either old people who are unable to leave their homeland, or people who still have hope, but to be honest, so far, no one can see hope.

"My lord, you must have a way to help us get through this difficult time!" Ella grabbed Wang Mubi's hand tightly, her eyes were wet, not so much a confirmation, but a pleading, begging Wang Mubi to say the answer she wanted, however, self-deception, it is not okay, Wang Mubi knows that the only way to leave the abyss is to move forward, not to put hope on others.

"I'm sorry, Ella, I'm not sure, so far, I don't know the form of the monster, the information, etc., and I don't know enough about Falling Snow Town, and the most important thing is that I may not have time in time, I can, we can only, we can do it as best we can, that's all. Wang Mubi picked up Ella and continued to look at the book, secretly reversing the order of priorities in his heart.

At this time, Qian Duoduo came to visit.

To be precise, Qian Duoduo and Dr. Lin came over together, Wang Mubi and Ella went out to welcome the two to the house, and then Ella poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"Oh, thank you, Ella, you seem to be pretty used to being here, so how do you feel, Lance. Qian Duoduo took a sip of tea and praised it.

"It's delicious, the tea is not good, but Ella's craftsmanship is still very good, thank you, I like it very much." Wang Mu talked about him left and right, obviously not wanting to take care of a lot of money.

"That's not what I'm trying to say......"

"But I just want to say this, before you can honestly explain what you and Milley discovered. Wang Mubi interrupted unceremoniously.

"Well, don't be so hostile, let's have a good chat, there's not much time, we really need your help." Qian Duoduo was reluctant to say why.

"Time is running out, yesterday you told me to think about it, but today you urged it, so it seems that something has happened, right? Wang Mubi crossed his hands and watched everyone's reactions.

"Yes...... It's true that something went wrong, the dark barrier in the north of Xueluo Town, last year it was the defense of the three towns, but this year, there is a town that is absent, and our personnel are less than estimated, and the dark barrier is in urgent need of assistance, so we hope that the pen can make up his mind earlier. Qian Duoduo said the reason, but Wang Mobi was incredible.

"Why, don't they understand that under the nest, there are eggs?"

"Alas, we've already sent people to persuade us, but I guess it's hard to get results, and Ore Town also suffered heavy losses last year, which is probably the reason. Qian Duoduo sighed, last year, a lot of people died in the three towns, and even the mayor of Luoxue Town died, and this year is the same, Qian Duoduo really doesn't know if he can survive the past.

"Stupid, forget it, it's easy to have problems when people are not aligned, and since it's called Ore Town, it should be a lot of mines. Listening to such a straightforward name, Wang Mubi couldn't help but think of the time when he played Ranch Story.

"Yes, but their inhabitants do not have the right to mine, only their lords have the right to mine, and they are now understaffed, and it is estimated that they will not be able to mine much. ”

"They have lords, then they should have an army, what about the army?" Wang Mubi was puzzled, didn't it mean that a town with a lord could have an army?

"How can the national capital allow you to have a large army, and besides, the grain production in Ore Town is very small, and you need to trade to get enough food, let alone supply the army. Qian Duoduo explained.

“...... Now that the national capital is concerned, it should be that they can't afford to trade with them, so what other channels do they have to get food?" Wang Mubi then asked.

"This ...... Brush, do you want to ......" Qian Duoduo couldn't help but lower his voice.

"That's it, they don't want to go up, and it should be reasonable to take out something to reward the people who protect them. "Wang Mu's pen has a very low evaluation of the lord of Ore Town, and there are some truths that anyone can figure out, but they are just some fools, and they like to think that only they are smart people, and others should suffer and let themselves take advantage.

"Brush, even if you force them to go to the battlefield in this way, the effect will not be good. Qian Duoduo persuaded him, after all, he has always supported each other, and Qian Duoduo is not willing to come to this point.

"Whoever wants them to go to war, I want their mines, I want their iron, I want their money, anyway, this matter will be left to you, people must be ruthless, and the heart must be black, you know? Wang Mubi ordered directly.

"Alas, well, I'll just do it, in fact, a large part of the annual food in Ore Town is provided by us, and I will get back as much as I want. ”

"Well, Ella, give me a pen and paper, I'll make a list, you can get a lot of money, you can get what you can get, and if you can't get it, find a way to get it. Wang took the pen and paper, scratched a few times, and handed it to Qian Duoduo, who looked at the list and nodded,

"It's okay, I guess it's okay, but it may take some words, Lao Sun is the best at this, I can send him around." ”

After speaking, Qian Duoduo added,

"By the way, I heard you're going up the mountain with Millay tomorrow?"

"Where did you hear about it? Wang Mubi frowned, it hadn't been long since Milai went out, it seemed that Milai couldn't be trusted.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, I heard the sound of banging on Zhang Mazi's side when I came over, so I went to take a look, and then I knew. Qian Duoduo hurriedly explained.

"Only if you believe in you will be a ghost, okay, you can go, don't disturb me reading. Wang Mubi waved his hand, and Qian Duoduo and Dr. Lin got up to say goodbye.

Then, the two left.
