53: Wealth

After testing the flintlock musket, Aslan returned to the city first, and he was ready to inspect his Flying City, after all, he had been away from Flying City for a while, although it was not very long, but the development of Flying City was still very fast.

At this time, there were almost no idle people in the streets, and Aslan went to a farmland and found that not only men, but also many women, children, and the elderly were also working in the fields.

After all, they see hope, and food is the hope of their lives.

At this time, several children of seven or eight years old were carrying a bucket of water together and walking towards a field, because they were too young, and the bucket was half as tall as them, and they were walking leisurely.

Aslan stepped forward, took the bucket from the child's hand, and said with a smile: "Little friend, isn't it very heavy, my brother will help you carry it." ”

A few children followed Aslan curiously: "Brother, thank you." ”

At this time, the old man who was working in the field saw Aslan coming over with a bucket of water, and hurriedly came over in a panic: "Lord City, how can you do such a rough job. You little rabbit cubs, you actually asked the city lord to carry water, and see that I won't kill you when I go back. ”

The old man said that he wanted to take the bucket from Aslan's hand, and said with a smile: "The city lord is really sorry, a few children are not sensible, you can put it down and let me come." ”

Aslan didn't hand the bucket to the old man, and continued to walk, saying as he walked: "Uncle, don't talk about a few children, I see that they really can't lift it, so I helped them carry it, where to put this water." ”

The old man pointed to the side of a field in front of him and said, "Lord of the city, I'm really embarrassed to ask you to help us carry water, just leave it there." ”

Aslan put the bucket on the ground, looked at the farmland that had grown seedlings, and asked the old man: "Uncle, how is the farmland planted now, and is there any surplus grain at home?" ”

The old man wiped the sweat on his face with a towel hanging around his neck, and looked at the farmland in front of him, his eyes as if he was looking at his own child.

"It's a good situation, I haven't seen crops in the field for many years, and the other families have planted early, and it's already a bit like that. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the children surrounding him, and said, "There is not enough food at home, but the City Lord's Mansion said that during this time, all the people who are registered in Feitian City can borrow grain from the City Lord's Mansion, and they only need to return the same amount of grain after the grain is harvested." ”

Aslan nodded, this was an order he had given to the Steward of Michelo to issue a time-limited order, which could solve the problems of the people in the period of time before the food was grown.

"By the way, are these children from your family?" Aslan looked at a few children who still had a little immaturity on their faces.

The old man shook his head, looked at these children pitifully and said: "I am just a lonely family, these children are all orphans, and their parents are either gone, or they can't stand the poverty here." I saw that they were pitiful so I adopted them, and in the past I used to dig up as many wild vegetables as I could for them, and we lived a fairly good life. Now, as long as the grain in this farmland is abundant, we can have our own food to eat, and you don't have to go hungry anymore. The old man smiled and touched the heads of several children.

Aslan sighed, this similar situation is almost everywhere in Flying City, but now it's okay, everyone finally sees hope.

"That old man, I'll go first, goodbye. ”

"Lord Castle, go slowly. Come, say goodbye to the lord of the castle. The old man said to the children.

Several children looked at Aslan's back, hesitated for a moment, and shouted, "Goodbye, brother of the city lord." ”

"Yes, goodbye. Aslan smiled and waved his hand, and left.

"Grandpa, who is the city lord's brother?" a child asked curiously.

The old man looked at the children and said, "Your city lord's brother is our benefactor, and it is he who gives us a full meal so that we can grow food." ”

"Benefactor?" the children looked at Aslan's back.

In fact, the poor people, what they need is very simple, just hope that they can eat a full meal every day, and they can pass in peace every day, they don't have much luxury, they just want to live like this in ordinary life, who can give them such a life, who is their "benefactor"!

Aslan finished turning the farmland in the city, and went to the center of the town, in fact, there is no so-called outside the city, but the Flying City has not been thoroughly planned at the beginning, and there is not enough troops to expel the surrounding beasts, so most of the farmland is in the city, and now the population of the city has risen sharply, and some farmland has even been close to the residential area, which seriously affects the development of the city.

"It seems that after going back, we should plan carefully, move all the farmland in the city outside the city, and put it in the heart of the city The effective coverage is centered on the city lord's mansion, a radius of 1,000 kilometers, this distance is no worse than Gramisburg, the largest city in Andra Oblast. ”

Aslan was talking to himself as he arrived in the center of town, just in time to see Jace's wife directing a large number of 'villagers' to take out the flax horses and send them to the warehouse not far away.

Not to mention, Jace's wife was really a beauty when she was young, although she is now in her thirties, but her charm is still there.

"Lord of the Castle. Ella saw Aslan coming and hurriedly saluted.

"Good work!" Aslan looked at so much linen and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the next ammunition was indispensable to these linens.

During his stay at Fort Grimis, Aslan asked Handini to 'investigate' carefully, and now the main cloth in Zaft is still linen, and the difference in the grade of clothing is mainly reflected in the different textures and origins of clothes, nobles wear fine linen, woolen cloaks from the Isy Wood Plateau, and valuable furs such as mink in winter, and only a few royal families and nobles can afford to wear silk, and commoners only wear coarse linen and coarse wool fabrics.

The most important thing is that although the world is highly martial, but it is precisely because of high martial arts and magic, it is in the dark ages in civil production and technology, very backward, what is equivalent to the Spring and Autumn Period of the earth, such efficiency can be imagined, but such backward production tools and textile technology have been mastered by the upper class of the imperial aristocracy, never passed on.

As a result, the production of cloth in this Zaft continent is very low, and in some cases, cloth can be used as gold coins.

Many civilians did not have a few sets of clothes in their lives, and compared with the imperial era, although their textile technology could not catch up with the mechanization level of the 21st century, it also reached the peak level of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

This may be why Age of Empires can be inhabitants of the Endless World with Warcraft and Heroes of Invincible.

The main existence of the Age of Empires was not war, but engaged in production.

The linen in front of him is equivalent to golden gold coins for Aslan, which can solve the financial dilemma of Feitian City to a large extent.
