Chapter 152: Free is the most attractive
The masters of the rivers and lakes mentioned by the snowman caught my attention, and I decided to go out and find out which sect they were the survivors of. The Wulin League was disbanded, and people in the rivers and lakes ran everywhere, and it was inevitable that some people would take advantage of the chaos to do evil.
Troubled times are not a suitable background for me who wants to farm.
In order to be able to farm with peace of mind, I hope that the world will be peaceful as soon as possible.
The one in the palace sent someone to investigate, and secretly visited remote villages along the snowy plains.
Sure enough, I found that the village had been completely transferred, and the people living in it were no longer the original villagers.
In total, there are about twenty villages that have been seized by the snowmen.
They are all close to the snowy plains and far away from the national capital, and the village is not too big, with no more than 100 people.
The snowman bribed the magistrate and promised that he would pay the grain on time in the future, and would not affect the local tax collection work.
There are not many villages in the hands of these officials, and they are all "replaced" at once, but they have no worries.
The people in the village will only marry other villages nearby, and their lives are relatively isolated.
The snowman does not choose the target to attack at random, but after careful investigation in advance.
The villagers of more than 20 villages were slaughtered by them, and we only discovered it recently, if I hadn't decided to investigate the villages around the Demon Cult on the other hand, I'm afraid no one would have found out about this matter until now.
The one in the palace who ordered to exterminate the wolf's ambitions.
Regarding whether to fight or not, the court discussed it for a few more days.
After all, there are too many opinions that the little emperor needs to refer to.
Before the order to exterminate the snowman was issued, Siyang Village ushered in the third group of people.
This time, the snowman sent not a spout, but a team of thirty horses.
They had come to slaughter the village, and before they could enter the village, they shot fire oil arrows from a distance.
If Siyang Village is burned to ashes, the villagers will be left homeless.
The gas net I had placed outside the village sensed their movements, and enveloped the flaming arrows of the fire oil arrows.
The fire oil arrows lost their accuracy and fell into the clearing, and the arrows burned for a while before they were extinguished.
The villagers' houses are not in trouble, and the snowman wonders, and holds the reins of the horses outside the village.
They circled the village and shouted loudly, frightening no human beings except the poultry in the enclosure.
Siyang Village, which is close to the snowy plain, has to make a fire to keep warm from the end of autumn.
But only the chimney of the village chief's house is smoking, and the popularity is pitiful.
They sent ten men into the village, without dismounting, with spears and knives in their hands.
After inspection, they found that there were people in the village chief's house, and the other houses were empty.
Not knowing the reason for the extinguishing of the oil arrows, they lit them again and shot them at the village chief's house.
At this time, the qi filaments outside the village had already entered the body of the "horse", and the people on the horse did not know that their means of transportation were controlled by me.
The fire oil arrows shot at the village chief's house landed in the courtyard, as if stopped by an invisible force.
The arrows burned in the clearing, and the flames grew smaller and smaller.
The ten snowmen who entered the village sensed that something was wrong and wanted to turn around and flee.
However, their horses were stimulated, threw them down with all their might, and ran away on their own.
The snowmen were thrown off their horses, and some of them fell directly and couldn't get up for half a day.
Those who got up had already been grabbed by the air filaments on the ground, and the qi filaments entered their bodies, paralyzing them instantly.
As I detain the spies, I detain them as I still do.
The people outside the village did not want to rescue their companions at all, they fled faster, but not as fast as I controlled the gas wires, and the horses they rode did not run far, but all rushed towards the village, and when they entered the village, they went berserk and threw them away.
As soon as they threw the people out, the horses fled out of the village.
The snowman was smashed hard this time, and some people broke bones and were unlucky and returned to the west.
There are also those who are lucky, strong, and agile.
Eight men quickly got up from the ground, clutching their weapons as they fell off their horses.
Four people simply jumped off their horses and landed easily, completely uninjured.
These four people alone can slaughter all the dozens of villagers in Siyang Village.
But no matter how high their martial arts are, they will eventually land, and as long as their feet land, they will step on the air wire net.
They are very alert and sense that something is wrong, so they want to use light skills to avoid the "things" on the ground.
However, they are fighting with the air, and have fallen into my gas trap.
They struggled to dodge for a while, but gradually they could no longer support it, and they were drilled into their bodies by the air wires, and became floor players like everyone else.
"What kind of martial arts is this?" The floor player's mouth could still move, and one of them questioned.
"I haven't seen or heard of it, maybe it's a master in Yuancheng." He asked his companion, and the one who was asked replied.
"Thousands of strands are the supreme martial arts of martial arts that have been extinct for hundreds of years, and with your knowledge, you naturally have never seen or heard of it." Before I could speak, Xiaojiao had already inserted her waist and blew the cow out for me.
The name is also her name, but it is very vivid.
It's impossible for the snowman to have heard of the name of her current martial arts, but my martial arts are above them, there is no doubt about it, they know that they have planted it.
The village chief's cellar couldn't fit them, so we made room for them.
Two days later, the people sent from the capital arrived, and they were all taken away, and our mission was completed.
The snowmen of the first three sheep villages were captured, and the village was temporarily vacant.
The villagers of Siyang Village did not dare to come back immediately, hearing that the monarch was going to war with the snowman, they were worried about being cannon fodder, and hoped to stay in the Demon Sect until the end of the extermination operation.
They stayed in the Demon Cult for a few days, and found that the Demon Cult's headquarters was not as terrifying as they imagined, just like the county towns.
I asked someone to transport their poultry and livestock back to the Demon Cult in a special car, and whoever gave them to whom.
The villagers live in the Demon Sect with peace of mind, and those who are willing to go to the farming training class to communicate, and those who want to be literate in the school can also go.
The four sheep villages can't make up a school, and the villagers heard that the school of the Demon Sect is free, and men, women, and children can go there, and everyone who can move and have no confused brains has gone.
The elderly are fresh, and it is enough to go twice, and the young and middle-aged people are thinking about how to live, and their main energy is still on work.
But each family sends their children to study, and no one is allowed to be left behind.
I'm going to open a grain factory in the Demon Cult headquarters, as well as a fruit processing factory, don't look at the many of them before, the most important thing is manpower, a few days ago, a lot of staff reduction, and now a large number of people are divided into farming, and there are not so many employees to choose from other positions.
As long as the factory is opened, the number of jobs will increase, and the villagers want to try it.
There is a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, and I am even happier that they are willing to participate in the labor when they need to help.
The Four Elders spent a lot of money to build several resorts at the headquarters, which they usually used for gatherings, and they had magnificent interiors, as well as stages and auditoriums.
I asked the construction team to convert one of the banquet buildings into a trading floor.
In the future, the things that the congregants grow in their own residences can be exchanged with others, exchanging vegetables for melons and beans for grain at will, according to the uniform standard of prices in the surrounding villages, towns and counties.
Renovation takes time and requires more manpower, so some villagers recommended themselves to the foreman and got a job as a temporary worker.
The trading hall can not only change food, but also other things, so I handed over to the foreman and divided into different areas, one area for food and one area for daily necessities.
The most important thing is that there must be fire prevention facilities, safety exits, and evacuation channels.
I took the time to go to the Magic Stone Mountain, the amount of mining in ancient times cannot be compared with the modern one, that is, the original tools are used to dig the mountain, since the establishment of the Demon Sect, the metal ore contained in the Magic Stone Mountain, they have not even mined a fraction of it.
Although I am a modern person, I am not a miner, and I don't know anything about mining, and it doesn't seem cost-effective to dig this thing with martial arts, and I use internal force to dig it...... It is also a fool who moves mountains.
After I inspected the magic stone mine, I was only worried about the health of the miners, and I guarded Jia and them to mine here, and wrapped them every day
The body is black and gray, can this thing not be inhaled?
When I asked the elderly who had been working for a long time, they said that "occupational diseases" were very serious, and they should be replaced after a year, and people would get sick after that.
The second year is mild, the third year is severe, the fourth year is bedridden, and the fifth year when you can't afford to take medicine will die.
Most of the people who mine in the Demon Stone Mountain are servants bought back by the Demon Sect with money, and if they die, they will die, and if they don't come to the Demon Sect, they will die earlier.
They thought about it, and they had already accepted their fate.
The four elders confiscated the servants who had bought the Magic Stone Mountain, so the previous rebellion did not matter to the miners, and they saved their lives together with the people who hid in the mountain.
They are very grateful to me for saving their lives, I told them not to thank them too early, I can cure their "occupational diseases", go back to Xiaojiao to apply for a big tonic pill, take the medicine and get better.
There is my healing qi in the big tonic pill, and there is healing qi in the body, and their illness will slowly heal.
The Demon Stone Mine is the main export commodity of the Demon Sect, and it should be mined or mined, and the health of the miners must also be guaranteed.
It was almost winter, and I gave them sick leave to rest and recuperate.
The servants of the Demon Sect are up, and the highest boss is the sect leader, and the sect leader is not the largest if the deputy sect leader is not the largest.
Therefore, it is only a matter of my word to let them take a vacation to recuperate.
I told Elder Gongsun that there is anyone down there who thinks it is unfair and wants to take sick leave, and immediately apply to go to Magic Stone Mountain to work as a miner, that needs people even more.
What are the conditions of the mine, the church knows very well, no one wants to suffer like that, and no one picks the miners' reason.
I said that the shortage of people in the mine is not to scare them, it is indeed lacking, but in the recruitment of workers in the church, there is no way to recruit people who voluntarily go up the mountain.
They would rather farm than be miners who suck ash all day.
Originally, the servants were not paid for their work, but I fixed a salary for them, and more for the miners.
The Magic Stone Mine is mined without even explosives/explosives.
But there were no explosions or landslides, because they were digging a mountain above the ground, digging up from the top of the hill and slowly descending downwards.
There's a lot more in the ground, but they haven't dug to that depth yet.
The headquarters was renovated and lively, and the town outside was not quiet.
The owner of the pharmacy went back and leaked the contract he had signed with me to the people at the other shops.
The people from the other shops discussed together, and finally decided to send a representative to the Demon Cult to find me.
