After a few days of walking, eating and sleeping in the open, the envoys finally walked out of the grassland and came to the countryside adjacent to the grassland.

The Thracians planted trees on the steppe border, and a large forest gradually formed here. Although not dense, it was enough to act as a barrier against the winds from the steppes and to discourage orc herders who wanted to move west.

Orc herders carry herds, and the winding roads in the forest do not hinder pedestrians, but make it very inconvenient for the herds to travel. Unless they risk losing their herds, they pose no threat to the people of the plains west of the forest.

At the edge of the forest, the panda saw some poor herdsmen, searching in the forest. They are hunters who make a living by looking for rare ingredients in the forest, although it often takes a few days to have a little harvest, but at the end of the year, the harvest is actually not worse than that of part-time work, it is nothing more than hard work and some risks.

"There is a famous saying in Mulandana that if a man owes money, he must go to the mountains of the steppe to find a 'mountain fungus circle'. It's a risky and hard job, but if you do it once, you can make a lot of money. Seeing that the panda was paying attention to those people, Lang Nadu, who was traveling with him, said, "I have seen a man who lost his money in business and ran to find the mountain fungus circle, but unfortunately he never came back." ”

"A business that makes a lot of money must come with big risks. Panda sighed, "If you want to pay off the arrears at once, you have to fight with your life." ”

He also has a little impression of the "mountain fungus circle". In the mountains of the grassland, sometimes there will be something similar to the "mushroom circle" on the plain, a circle of colorful mushrooms, enclosing a circle, and there are often a few special mushrooms in the middle of the circle, that is, the real "mountain mushroom circle". This thing is a precious ingredient and medicinal herb, called "Mountain Mushroom King" in the game, and the price has always been high, and many important alchemy herbs need to use it, and the output is not enough.

By contrast, the pandas don't know what they're looking for, as the herders look for in the forests on the edge of the grassland.

Although he is an orc, he was mainly leveling up in the archipelago area of the Federation, and he was less active in the grasslands, so if you want to ask him how many tribes there are in the fish-people in the archipelago area, and what specialties each tribe has, he can count the treasures, but ask him what is produced on the grassland...... Sorry, he really doesn't know.

Thanks to the quest system of New World, many players are like him, remembering a lot of the premise - because they can be used for missions. As for the group of people in the strategy group, they have become bookcases that can walk, and they don't know how much setting information they remember. Until now, they haven't been able to write down all the settings they remember.

The convoy of the envoys did not stop, and soon followed the road into the forest, and the shadows of the trees gradually became dense to obscure the grassland, and also the figures of those who were struggling to make a living.

The panda shook his head and sighed slightly.

According to the Thracians, these herders were almost destitute. But in fact, they were at least fully clothed, and although they were a little thin, at least their faces were still bloody, and there were no signs of significant malnutrition. In contrast, the truly poor people of the Tara Khan Command live like zombie hungry ghosts.

It is no wonder that in the game, when the Imperial Army attacked Tarakhan, although the military discipline was terrible, the people did not resist much, only the nobles of all walks of life tried their best to resist.

Horizontal and vertical have already lived without human beings, so death is not terrible. Compared with a kingdom where people don't live like individuals, perhaps under the rule of the empire, there is a little hope.

If it weren't for the influence of the time-travelers, maybe the same scene would still be played out when the empire invaded.

(This time it's different!)

He said secretly in his heart.

(Anything too ambitious for the time being, at least, we can make the poor people of Tara Khan live as human beings!)

These are the things that the traversers are doing right now.

The biggest problem with the Tara Khan Territory is not that it is sparsely populated, but that the lord is too ruthless in plundering. Many lords here really have a crazy energy to knock on the bones and suck the marrow, if they are sent to the netherworld of the Eastern Soil, they must be strong candidates for the Hungry Ghost Dao. In contrast, those lords are more generous, and the lives of the common people are okay.

For example, in the village of Firuman, the lord is a knight with a very yellow old style, who has almost no sense of existence, and collects taxes very lightly. The inhabitants of Firuman are living well, no worse than the poor of Mulandana.

However, as the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the rulers of the Tara Khan clan worship demons in the era, and the lords under their hands are roughly what virtues they have, you can imagine.

The traversers had just seized power and were not in a position to purge for the time being, so their main concern was to promote agriculture so that farmers could dig more food out of the dirt.

Only with agriculture can it be stable, and the people take food as the sky.

Their approach is roughly divided into two paths: one is headed by a retired man who has studied at the Agricultural University by correspondence, and mainly promotes the improvement of agricultural technology, such as improving soil quality, selecting seeds, and reforming cultivation methods; and the other is headed by Liu Daoqing, who was born in a mountain village, mainly engaged in compound farming and special cultivation, and is currently promoting the cultivation of mushrooms.

Both approaches have yielded some results, but neither has been enough. Liu Daoqing said that even if he used the "local method", he would need some scientific and technological products.

But no matter what, everyone is still doing it, still pushing the progress of the Tara Khan Territory little by little.

As long as there is no war, the future Tara Khan Territory will become prosperous sooner or later.

Panda is so sure.

However, he was also a little worried.

Because...... No matter how much they did, no matter how well they built Tara Khan, in the face of the menacing imperial army, all this might be just a castle on the beach, which would dissipate and become invisible when the wind and waves blew it, leaving not even a trace of it.

The brutality of war can always destroy all prosperity.

I remember that in college, I studied "Tokyo Menghualu" in the elective course, and the Bianliang City, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was really prosperous. However, after the Jin Bing, the prosperity turned into a fleeting cloud, even if the poets of later generations called "Hangzhou as Bianzhou", the heaven and earth of Hangzhou in Suzhou and Hangzhou, in fact, is far less prosperous than Bianliang, and Marco Polo's so-called "unimaginable prosperity" is just a little residual glory of the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty......

Thinking of this, the panda felt heavy.

He pondered these questions, depressed for several days.

That night, while he was lying on his bed at the inn, thinking about what he could do, he suddenly heard a commotion outside......
