Chapter 3: Start a farming career in another world
"Hey, it's safe, come out!"
Lin Jue came to the door of an unbreached house and knocked for a while, but no sound came from inside.
I came to the other two doors and knocked for a while, but as before, there was no sound.
"There's no reason, there shouldn't be anyone in there, right?" Lin Jue frowned slightly and muttered.
By this time the battle had long since ended, and the three hundred soldiers had arrived in the village and were cleaning up the bodies of the dead and the wolves.
"My lord, the nearby houses have been checked, and there are no living mouths. Judging by the appearance of the corpses, as well as the text of the books in the house, they should be from the Commonwealth of Brandon. A soldier came to Lin Jue and reported.
"Brandon Federation?" Lin Jue turned to look at Lin Yue and asked, "Xiao Yue'er, I remember that you used to be from Brandon, right?"
Lin Yue nodded in agreement, came to the door and knocked on it, calling in a language that Lin Jue didn't understand at all.
Lin Jue was a little familiar with this language, and said secretly in his heart: "Why do you feel so familiar......?" Is this German?"
But it didn't seem to have any effect, after a long time, the room was still quiet, and gradually Lin Jue's patience was worn out.
"Forget it, come here, you come and smash this door open. Seeing that the other party refused to communicate, Lin Jue, who was helpless, had to carry Lin Yue and walk down the steps, calling for a few soldiers.
At that moment, the door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged woman poked her head out of the room to look out.
The middle-aged woman looked at the soldiers walking on the road with a frightened face, and said a lot of words, of course, Lin Jue didn't understand it at all.
Lin Jue sighed softly and said to Lin Yue, "You communicate with her and find out where this is and where the nearest human gathering area is." ”
"Alas, this kind of person who has been a good person once and has been saved looks at it like a flood of beasts, it feels really unpleasant. Lin Jue shook his head helplessly and came to the street, looked at the soldiers coming and going in front of him, and silently waited for the results of the exchange.
After a long time, Lin Yue came to Lin Jue's side and said, "I've figured it out, this is a village established by a group of refugees who were exiled here from the Brandon Federation half a month ago, called Dur Village. For some unknown reason, he was besieged by a pack of wolves, and almost the entire village was slaughtered. ”
Lin Jue asked, "Did she say where the nearest human city is?"
"About eighty miles to the south, there was a port founded by the Brandons, called Port Orsas. ”
Gloria opened the navigation chart in her hand, looked for it, and said, "Dawning City is relatively close to the south, and Port Orsas is close to the northwest of the Eastern Continent, the distance between the two places is about four hundred nautical miles, not too far, and it can be reached in three or four days along the coastline. ”
"Four hundred nautical miles, that is, 780 kilometers of coastline, proves that there are human settlements along this line. ”
Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "Then that's it, let's establish the colony near here, and when everything is on the right track, we will send someone to Dawning City to report." ”
The first thing to do when establishing a colony is, of course, to send out a survey team to survey the places where water sources converge and where it is suitable to build a port dock, after all, this colonization is to build a large city, not a small fight.
The next afternoon, the location was decided. Near the village of Durr, a crescent-shaped bay, a rare deep-water harbor. The most important thing is that there is a river flowing into the sea from this location, which is simply the perfect location for urban construction.
After the survey was completed, Lin Jue convened a short meeting with all the immigrants in charge of planning.
"The entire Deep Water Bay is going to be planned as a port, so let's plan the middle section first, and you will be responsible for planning a wharf that can accommodate forty large transport ships. In front of Lin Jue was a map of this crescent-shaped bay, which was observed by Finex in the sky and drawn according to Professor Jiang Quan's drawing skills, which basically restored the terrain here. Lin Jue's finger stopped on the map and said to these professionals.
"After the port is completed, several large warehouses are planned near the wharf, and it is estimated that there will be no way to grow grain this year. All the grain needed to be stored and brought in from Dawning City. Also, you're working overtime tonight to plan a rough layout of the city, where six carriages can fit in parallel, and I don't want to tear down the city and rebuild it in the future. ”
After all the tasks were completed, Lin Jue went to sleep.
On the morning of the third day, the planners handed over the rough planning plan that had been prepared overnight to Lin Jue.
Jiang Quan glanced at this kind of planning map, with a look of contempt on his face, and said, "Can this be called a planning map? This is called scratch paper, right? The kindergarten children are better at drawing than them." ”
On the planning map, there are crooked traces, which is really not beautiful, and can only roughly see that several roads representing the route cross over, just like a child's graffiti, and I can't understand anything else.
Lin Jue said helplessly: "This is a civilization without industry, and the craftsmen pulled out of the desert kingdom of Orlante can draw at this level, so don't ask too much." As time goes on, so do their skills. ”
Jiang Quan pursed his lips and asked suspiciously: "Then what are you going to do now?" The planning map has also come out, and you can see it if you make do, what are you going to do next?"
Lin Jue smiled: "Have you heard of a sentence?"
"What?"
Lin Jue said quietly: "If you want to get rich, you must first pick up trees." ”
Jiang Quan was stunned.
Lin Jue snorted into the depths of the land and said, "Na, look, the wood is coming." ”
Jiang Quan turned his head suspiciously, and the next second, his mouth opened wide, looking at the center of urban planning in disbelief. It was a large flat field, and a purple-black six-pointed star array was painted on the ground, and wood appeared there out of thin air.
A group of soldiers had been waiting for the wood, and as soon as the wood appeared, they immediately stepped forward to carry it away, and in the open space the soldiers had built several shelves out of wood, and the wood was stacked on top of each other, as if they had been carved out of a mold.
"This ...... This...... How did this work?" Jiang Quan asked in surprise with his mouth wide open, as if he could stuff his fist.
Lin Jue quipped: "As a traverser, be mature, and have self-cultivation as a traverser." It's a fantasy world! There's such a magical thing as magic, so why not use it?"
Seeing that Jiang Quan still couldn't understand everything in front of him, Lin Jue explained: "This magic array is a teleportation array, I sent two thousand soldiers, one thousand of them, each with an axe, I asked them to find a big tree to cut down, and the other thousand people roughly processed these woods, and the space department great magician who accompanied us, he was responsible for teleporting these half-finished logs back." ”
"And this kind of operation?"
Thinking of the components of the first batch of immigrants, Jiang Quan can be regarded as understanding Lin Jue's purpose. Lin Jue's first batch of immigrants was simply a group of coolies, as long as the living environment created was sufficient, the remaining immigrants would be able to come over in a steady stream. It is estimated that it will not be long before a young city will be established in the near future.
Looking at the steady stream of wood emerging from the teleportation array, Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Alas, I don't know how Gloria persuaded such a great magician to join her camp, the great magician of the space department, I'm afraid there is such a person in the world, right?"
