CHAPTER XXXIV
The production of various weapons has begun under the leadership of Lu Sien, although the tension is still a little slow.
The choice of the magic array on the crossbow, Ge Qi has also been chosen, and it is just the real thing that Lu Sien is missing.
The opening of various factories was smooth sailing, and Tuo Moxuan's blessing a while ago was a blessing, but there were many people who came to work in the factory.
This is also because Mo Xuan never deducts wages from his workers, and Mo Xuan pays much more wages than in other cities, so they won't go hungry even if they don't grow food.
However, in the past few days of wandering, Mo Xuan suddenly found that the trees around Flame City seemed to be a little sparse, and it seemed that the open area around Flame City was larger again.
"Lucas, you go and investigate, why are there fewer trees?" Mo Xuan said to the knight beside him.
Now in the Flame City, Atwood and Talik are training soldiers.
Originally, soldiers would not be trained in winter, and the first was the food problem, because no grain was produced in winter, and most of the grain was stored for winter, and once the army carried out training, the amount of food consumed was not small.
But Mo Xuan has Mo Xuan's considerations, the so-called winter practice three nine summer practice three dogs, not to say that there are many benefits to exercising in these two seasons, but to emphasize that you must not give up, and it is not easy for people to recover if they slack off. And a strong army can't slack off, so Mo Xuan tried his best to disagree with everyone, so that these soldiers couldn't give up exercising in winter.
As for the food problem, Flame City was not a grain-producing city from the beginning, after all, the fields had only been cultivated for less than a year, and Flame City's current grain was purchased from other cities. For Mo Xuan, Flame City is not short of money now, plus the food for soldier training, Mo Xuan does not pay too much money.
Not to mention the money Mo Xuan obtained from plundering on the grasslands, let's just say that Benedict's caravan earned enough to consume the city.
Lucas, one of the three generals led by Mo Xuan to the prairie, is a tough and reliable man who is meticulous in his work. In Mo Xuan's opinion, he is a talent that can be promoted, but there are Talik and Atwood in the army, and there are other officers who were promoted later, and it would be a little bloated if Lucas was shoehorned into it.
It just so happened that Mo Xuan was still missing a guard commander by his side, so Lucas was left behind. And Lucas is doing really well these days, and Mo Xuan is considering whether to keep him by his side constantly.
Mo Xuan didn't wait long, and in less than half an hour, Lucas returned with a few people dressed as civilians.
It's just that these few people dressed as civilians are now trembling and trembling all over, looking scared and afraid to move.
"My lord, I saw them cutting down trees on the outskirts of the forest, and the reason why the trees outside the city are decreasing is probably because they cut them. Lucas motioned for the soldiers escorting a few civilians to let go, and then said to Mo Xuan with a straight face.
"My lord, spare your life, spare your life. I don't dare anymore, I don't go to cut down trees anymore. ”
"Spare your life!. ”
"Please, my lord. ”
A few civilians were crying with tears and snot, and they almost went incontinent.
"Uh, what are you guys doing here?" Mo Xuan was depressed for a while, these guys were too disgusting.
Mo Xuan's words came out, but several civilians just kept crying as if they hadn't heard them.
"Shut up. Mo Xuan, who really had no choice, shouted.
Then a few civilians fell silent.
"You stand up and tell me what's going on?" Mo Xuan pointed to the calmest one in the middle of the crowd.
"Yes, yes, the old man said・・・・・・. Finally, in the words with stuttering around him, Mo Xuan understood why these people were so scared.
To put it bluntly, it is still the privilege of the nobles to blame, some nobles have the behavior of enclosing land, that is, to set aside a place and then tighten the entry of commoners, and now these commoners still think that they have violated this privilege of Mo Xuan.
After listening to this, Mo Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, no wonder Lucas's face was so ugly, so it was.
"These people, you misunderstood, I just want to understand, why are you cutting down trees?"
After a few reassurances, the few people who had quieted down had already understood that they had misunderstood, but they were still a little scared, and after listening to Mo Xuan's question, they looked up at Mo Xuan, and then lowered their heads again.
Mo Xuan saw the look of surprise in their eyes when he looked up from them, and knew what these people should know, but they didn't dare to say it now.
"Tell me what you know, and I will not blame you. ”
In the end, Mo Xuan still maintained an approachable demeanor, and did not cause misunderstanding among several people, and the one who was asked by Mo Xuan thought about it and was ready to speak.
But the person behind him gently pulled him, apparently afraid that he would cause Mo Xuan to blame him if he said it, but he didn't care: "Honorable lord, the reason why we cut down trees is to keep warm. ”
"Ugh. Mo Xuan choked suddenly.
How did he forget, now that it was winter, there was no big warmth here, of course they had to cut down trees to keep warm.
"Forget it, let's go!" Mo Xuan waved his hand and motioned for Lucas to take them away.
Mo Xuan disagrees with the behavior of civilians cutting down trees, and Mo Xuan has seen too many serious consequences caused by the loss of vegetation on Earth. Mo Xuan didn't want his territory to become like that, but cutting down trees would not stop without solving the problem of civilian heating.
After thinking about it again, Mo Xuan decided to use electricity to keep warm.
There are many types of furniture on earth that consume electricity, such as rice cookers, electric water heaters, and so on.
These pieces of furniture that bring convenience to people are not difficult to manufacture, and the content of technology is very low, and Mo Xuan is confident that these things will be developed.
Now it's almost a skilled maker, but is Flame City a poor craftsman?
"Lucas, bring over Grand Magician Gucci and Master Lusen. Mo Xuan said to the commander of the guards beside him.
"Yes. Lucas saluted, and with a sonorous voice, walked out the door slowly.
In the workshop, Lu Sien, who was instructing his subordinates to build weapons, suddenly had a headache when he heard Mo Xuan's invitation, it seemed that there was nothing difficult to assign to his characters after following this lord to Flame City, what was it this time?
However, Lu Sien still followed the guards who came to see Mo Xuan, and he also wanted to go over to see Mo Xuan's whimsical thinking.
However, the task released by Mo Xuan this time is indeed not difficult, but the requirements for materials are a little high, and the two of them only worked hard in a few days to produce what Mo Xuan said.
