"Yes, I heard from the Security Bureau that they were locked up before, but now they have been transferred, and they may be locked up in a prison behind the palace."

"What are you doing with talking to the domain chief one day, the domain chief, your medicine has been boiled for you, hurry up and drink it while it's hot."

The people under him came in with a medicine bowl, and Ryuba didn't continue the topic just now, and directly let the other party out.

After solving those people in the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom, the process of mining was quite smooth.

Now that spring has begun, the snow in the Northern Wasteland has almost melted, and Su Tong has brought up the matter of clearing the wasteland again.

Early in the morning, Cheng Ming was waiting outside the door, and when Su Tong was ready, he would go out of the city with her.

"City Lord, basically everything that can be opened in the wasteland around the city has been opened." If you want to find more wasteland, you have to go farther away.

There are many low mountains in the northern wasteland, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult to open up a lot of wasteland.

"Like this mountain, can't it be converted into arable land?"

The group came to the foot of a mountain, Su Tong pointed to the mountain, the mountain is not high and not steep, the soil is relatively soft, and it looks like it should be able to grow crops.

Cheng Ming said: "The people in this mountain have also gone to see it, and the soil quality can be used for farming, but because it is in the mountains, it is actually a bit difficult to plant on a large scale. ”

Su Tong patted the tiger under his butt and motioned for it to go up the mountain.

Not only does the mountain look gentle, but it's not steep at all.

After walking for a while, Su Tong asked the big cat to stop, she walked to the back of the mountain, stepped on the soil with her feet, and then picked up a branch and drew circles on it.

"What if?"

But in a moment, the soil under her feet was drawn by her in a circle of steps like a circle, "Gather this place, can you plant here?" ”

Cheng Ming used to think that it was not good here, mainly because he felt that the soil on the mountain was not solid enough, and if it rained heavily, he was worried that the crops would be buried by the loose mountain soil.

"You see, open two openings on both sides as places for water storage and drainage, and if it rains, open this drain to let the excess water drain out, because there is an outside circle to protect it, combined with the soil quality of this mountain, even if it rains heavily, the possibility that the farmland will tilt is very small."

Su Tong had seen a form of cultivation called terraced fields in the literature, and she felt that the low mountains that met the conditions could be changed to that form.

"Build a ridge on the periphery, form a prototype of a step, and gradually increase the height of the terrier, so that the slope in the plot will be reduced, and further transformation should be able to achieve the planting conditions, what do you think?"

What Su Tong said was what she saw from the information.

The more Cheng Ming looked at Su Tong's description, the brighter his eyes became, "The city lord is wise, we didn't expect it at all before." ”

They used to think that the Northern Wasteland was vast, and the big deal was to go a little farther to find the wasteland, so they didn't think it was too complicated.

But now that I heard Su Tong say this, I felt that it was very likely to be successful, there were many such mountains outside the city, if they could use it, they wouldn't have to run so far.

Su Tong just made a suggestion, and it still depends on Cheng Ming and them to really implement it.

"It's spring now, you guys hurry up, let's go and see somewhere else."

If you want the whole city to have a surplus of food, then of course the more food the better.

Cheng Ming left a few people here for further discussion, and he followed Su Tong to other places.

At this time, outside the border of the Chu State, near the entrance of the Northern Wasteland, a group of people and horses slowly walked towards this side.

They were ragged, their eyes were blank, and their faces were full of death.

After driving away the people from the Southern Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, Su Tong sent people to guard the entrance.

The guards at the entrance saw so many people approaching and stopped them.

"Stop, where did you come from?"

Although Su Tong did not prevent the homeless and prisoners from entering, he would make some inquiries before entering.

The men shrank a little when they saw that the road ahead was blocked.

"I, we are, I have fled from the disaster, I have come from the south."

"There was a snow disaster in the south, our homes were crushed by snow, and the court didn't care whether we lived or died, so we could only flee out, but other countries didn't let us in, so we could only come here."

The guards looked them up and down, "Why haven't we heard of the snow disaster in the south?" ”

"Ouch, how many of you are so far away, how can you know, the snow covers the mountain, I don't know how many people have been trapped, and the court doesn't care about our life or death, as long as we have a place to go, we can't even want our home and country."

The guards saw that they were all starved and thin, and they didn't look like they were deceiving.

But the guards still took out pen and paper and called them into the house one by one to inquire and register.

After asking them all, I put them in.

When those people walked into the Northern Wilderness, they found dead bodies and uninhabited woodlands everywhere, and the death on their faces became even heavier.

"Those people are guarding outside, I thought there was some treasure in here, who knows what is nothing, and what are they asking so much for?" There were disgruntled complaints in the ranks.

No one answered, and they were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Anyway, let's find a place to stay."

They went all the way, but before they could go far, someone in the group fell.

"Wang Wu, Wang Wu......" The people around him walked up to the fallen man and stretched out their hands to probe his pulse.

He looked up and shook his head slowly at the leader of the team, "It's out of gas." ”

These three words seemed to turn on some invisible switch on their bodies, and they saw a pair of eyes glowing in the dim light coldly falling on the corpse that had not yet completely cooled.

They hadn't eaten for a long time, and even a corpse was a hope for them to live!

"Since you're dead, give us a way to live!"

Someone couldn't bear it anymore and immediately threw himself at the corpse.

"What are you doing, don't, don't touch my son......" An older lady wanted to push away those rich wolves and tigers, but where was her opponent, she could only watch her son being torn to the point of flesh and blood.

The people who followed in the shadows looked at this scene and their brows furrowed.

After the Northern Wasteland was cleaned up by Su Tong, it had not happened for a long time, and when I suddenly saw it, the impact was still not small.

"You go ahead, and I'll deliver a message to the city."

There are a lot of people in this group, of course they can't just let them in, so they have been sending people to follow in secret, but they didn't expect to bump into this scene.

Soon, the scrawny corpse was licked clean even to the bones......
