When tens of thousands of demon armies were wreaking havoc on the Sayroman grassland, some herders on the grassland fled along the exit of Mount Myra.

Although they escaped from the devil's mouth, many herdsmen on the plateau lost their livestock, and almost all the horses and sheep raised on the plateau remained on the plateau, and finally became the rations of the demon army.

The herders, on the other hand, fled with Lord Macdonnell's army all the way to Mukuso.

In the city of Mukuso, these herdsmen who could not do any craft, but could only herd horses, became vagabonds in the city.

Life was already extremely difficult, and after the demon army broke the city, many people turned into refugees and entered Ruit City, and now after the victory of the Ganbu Plane War, they followed the refugee team and returned to Mukuso.

It's just that there is no home for them in this city.

These people live in tents and participate in the construction of the city every day, but they can't find a house of their own, so they have to live in tents all the time, and they work every day just to have a bite to eat.

Life in the city, for these herders on the grasslands, is like hyenas in cages.

Sky, meadow, horses......

The days of riding a horse and galloping freely are like a beautiful dream from afar.

……

Thiago took a sip of the water in the water bladder and pushed a collapsed earthen wall to its feet, leading a few herders to clear the rubble.

In the past, he was always envious of life in the city, where there were all kinds of fresh fruits, all kinds of delicacies, and there were also enthusiastic wine sellers, as long as he had money, he could enjoy an unimaginable luxury life.

Yes, if you have money.

Now his pockets were cleaner than his face, so he found it to be a prison from which he could not escape.

The city doesn't restrict anyone's freedom, but without money, even if you leave here, do you have to beg all the way back to Sayroman?

I heard that there is no living creature on the grassland except for the wild grass, and there is not even a guinea pig to be found, so I ran back to the grassland to eat wild radish, can wild leeks and sweet roots survive?

He squinted at the orange sky, feeling a little tired, when would this kind of day come to an end!

Yesterday I heard that someone in the third district had robbed a shop.

Someone was killed on the spot,

Someone also ran away,

Others were arrested by the knights of the guard battalion,

I heard that it was done by a group of herders on the Sayroman Plateau.

Now wherever they go in the city, everyone will deliberately keep a distance when they see them, the herdsmen of the plateau, and the knights of the guard battalion will set up a checkpoint in the north mountain pass, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the escaped herdsmen will be captured.

I heard that the chief of the guard, Lord Hamas, personally led people to block the North Pass, and lived in tents, and it is said that if these illegal herdsmen are not caught, they will not return to Mukuso.

Thiago couldn't figure it out, shouldn't he send his men to do this kind of thing? Could it be that the shop that was robbed was owned by the head of the guard?

I heard that the city of Mukuso has recently been under strict investigation of law and order, and the prisoners who were recently sent to the guillotine are said to have soaked the entire stone platform with blood.

Thiago and his son carried a boulder down the rubble, and the area had to be cleared out to rebuild the house, and the collapsed wall was very difficult to move because the previous owner had built it very strongly, and it was difficult to break it into small pieces.

A little before lunch, Thiago was ready to move the boulder and rest for a while, he was the small leader of the nearby highland herders, and he did not dare to accuse him of being lazy.

It rained a little last night, and the wet weather made his knees hurt a little.

At this time, the pleasant sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

Thiago threw the stone into the stone mound and looked towards the side of the street, where a group of cavalry was jogging along the long street, and the residents along the way moved out of the way and retreated to the side of the street to salute.

There was only one person in the entire city who could make the whole city stop what they were doing and run to the side of the street to salute - the Archon of Surdak.

Not only because the Viscount Surdak led an army to drive away the demons of hell, but also because he exempted the entire Ganbu Plane from paying taxes for a year, and I heard that farmers who wanted to work on farms outside the city would also enjoy additional subsidies.

It is said that he is now paying for the renovation of the entire city of Mukuso, although using the savings in the treasury of the Mukuso Finance Department, but in the eyes of the common people, the money is no different from the money in the pockets of the Suldaq consuls.

Thiago saw the knight in the costume on the blue-scaled horse, the magic pattern was unique in the whole of Mukuso, he sat on horseback, tall and imposing.

A troop of cavalry followed him, and Thiago thought that the archon had just passed through the street......

In fact, residents can see him in the city every day to inspect the progress of the project.

Unexpectedly, the Archon Surdak actually stopped in front of him, and the snort of the blue-scaled horse sprayed on his face, and the damp stench made him feel more kind.

Thiago hurriedly led a group of highland herders to bow to the Surdak Archon.

"What's your name?" Surdak looked down at the middle-aged herdsman in front of him.

"Your Excellency Archon, Thiago is my name." Thiago replied earnestly.

"Thiago, you're from the Sayroman Plateau?" Surdak asked again.

"The town of Samp on the Sayroman plateau." Thiago replied respectfully.

Surdak nodded slightly, what he was looking for was the herdsmen of Samp Town, because his pasture was the large grassland around Samp Town.

"Will you let the horses go, then?"

"Every Sayryoman is the son of the Condor, and herding horses is like milk, from the day we were born." Thiago hurriedly said, he is not a fool, and his lips trembled slightly when he said this.

"Give him a horse and let him try." Surdak turned to his entourage behind him and said.

The retinue brought with him a hot-tempered blue-scaled horse, and the choice of such an untamable green-scaled horse was also to see what Thiago was really capable of, and a good herdsman must be proficient in horse taming.

Thiago saw the restless blue-scaled horse, his eyes full of vigilance and caution, and the hooves of the horse, the size of a large bowl, constantly scraping the rocky ground.

Thiago let go of his hands, and he stared intently at the green-scaled horse, approaching step by step.

The bluescaled horse didn't want to communicate with Thiago, it wanted to retreat, but Thiago took the opportunity to say a strange string of words, and the bluescaled horse actually flicked its tail, and then actually stopped in place.

Thiago stepped forward and stroked the neck of the horse, calming its irritable mood, the horse was very tall, and there was no saddle on its back, Thiago hugged the neck of the horse affectionately with both hands, and rolled over to the horse's back, and in this alley, riding the unsaddled horse casually.

The pace was as light as the wind, and he didn't want to jump off his horse.

What a good horse.

Surdak nodded at Thiago and said casually: "I need to organize a group of wranglers to return to Samp Town to help me raise a batch of war horses, I am very optimistic about you, I can give you some money to settle down, and I can also lend you a sum of money to let you buy some cattle and sheep in Mukuso City, but I need you to raise horses for me, herd horses, I need to see a larger group of high-quality war horses in three years." ”

Thiago immediately said: "Generous Lord Surdak, Thiago is willing to serve you, as long as you give me a piece of pasture in the town of Sampu on the Sayroman Plateau......"

"All the meadows around Samp Town, I think you should know the boundaries of the meadows in other towns, right?" Surdak asked Thiago.

"Yes, every meadow has a boundary marker." Thiago replied.

"Well, that's it! In two days' time, I hope that you and your men will be able to take the herd and set out from the city of Mukuso. With that, Surdak threw a bag of gold coins to Thiago, not at all worried that he would sneak away with the bag of gold coins.

Thiago held the heavy bag of money until Surdak and his party walked out of the alley, and they could not come back to their senses.

It wasn't until his son nudged him gently that he came back to his senses and asked his son in a bit of a daze, "Can we go back to Samp Town?" ”

The son nodded vigorously, tears streaming down his eyes.

"Let's go, go to the cattle market in the city, we have to buy some lambs and come back, and bring back some beans and oats, and we're going to have to eat some grain for a while before the lambs are grown, and we can't buy more." Thiago said cheerfully to his son.

"I've heard there's a Watchman's Grain Store over there in Samp Town."

"Just hear how to do it, let's go and ask for it!" Thiago slung the money bag around his waist and said to his son.

That night, the herders living in Mukuso approached Thiago in the hope of bringing them back together.

Thiago chose only a dozen or so herder families who had been following him, and there were fewer than fifty in all.

In addition, Surdak arranged for him 10 young herders.

Thiago knew that these herders were overseers who prevented him from stealing horses.

With such a large group of horses, it is enough to eat and drink in this life if you secretly sell two of them......

Two days later, Thiago left the city of Mucuso with his family and a large herd of herders on a large herd of horses.

When they reached the North Mountain Pass, they saw the checkpoint set up by the guards battalion knights on the slope, and hurriedly handed over the pass issued by the city hall, and then passed the checkpoint smoothly.

Thiago didn't even have time to come up with the clearance fee, and the horses passed the level without any problems.

Riding his horse and stopping at the highest point on the slopes of the North Pass, Thiago looked back in the direction of the city of Mucuso with mixed feelings.

Looking at the horses that had gone away, and the three hundred sheep that he had bought back for fifty gold coins, he felt a little more steady.

With sheep, there is hope for the days to come.

……

It took only three days for Baron Martino to draw a map of the city walls of Mucuso, including the extension, and the map also clearly marked the sewer outlets, and he changed the sewer outlets to the south of the city, and all near several outlets of the river in the city of Mucuso.

Such changes have avoided the problem of serious river pollution in the slums of the city.

As for the sewers in the industrial area of Mukuso City, they will be separated and directly connected to the outside of the city.

For the design of these details of Baron Martino, Surdak is naturally very satisfied.

Baron Martino did not do so behind closed doors, these design concepts were based on the classic design of the city of Benaître, and Surdak was discussing with Martino the various junctions of the main line of the central street, Surdak wanted to have more circular manhole covers, while Martino preferred a square iron fence.

Surdak's sewer manhole covers are above ground, while Baron Martino's drainage channels for the sewers are on both sides of the street, and they are not manhole covers, but iron fences that look like rectangular dog holes.

This kind of access is very convenient, only need to remove the iron fence on one side, and people can climb into the sewer.

Surdak thought about it for a long time and finally decided to adopt the design of Baron Martino.

The two were discussing very much when Thea barged in and reported to Surdak: "Minister of Logistics and Finance Officer Basil. Hutton was arguing again in the town hall. ”

This is the fifth time this month that the quarrel has been red-faced, Surdak knows very well the reason for the quarrel, the logistics department has been in charge of urban reconstruction and repair, and the Ministry of Finance has a money bag in its hands, because the construction project was delayed last month, so the progress that needs to be completed this month has not been started until now.

Treasurer Basil. Hutton, as Surdak had ordered, stuck the head of logistics in the matter of appropriation.

For the foremen of the logistics department who only know how to ask for money and don't even have any construction plans, the logistics minister is also a headache, but without them, it will be difficult for the entire city repair project to continue.

According to the Treasurer Basil. In Huton's words, so much money was allocated, but there was no improvement in the city, why should I be funded, for such a huge waste of the logistics department, the officials of the city hall knew something, but everyone stood up and proposed rectification.

So as a last resort, Surdak planned to lift this fig leaf with his own hands.

Hearing Thea's report, Surdak knew about the treasurer, Basil. Hutton, according to his own will, stuck the logistics minister's money bag again.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Surdak said to Baron Martino with a solemn face.

Baron Martino hurriedly followed Surdak towards the meeting room of the town hall, and from a distance there was a quarrel in the hallway.

The Minister of Logistics led a group of officials in charge of the project, and the Finance Officer, Basil. Huton blocked the bottom of a statue in the outer cloister, and dozens of people surrounded the treasurer Basil. Hutton, the female assistant next to the finance officer, wanted to push out a road, but was torn apart by this group of engineering project officials, and finally hid in the finance officer Basil. Hutton went behind him.

"Basil, if you don't pay for it today, don't think about leaving here......"

The Minister of Logistics shouted angrily.
