Chapter 14: Assign Tasks
Li Jincheng bowed his head and bowed his hand.
Li Ergou was curious and adored.
White deer discovers the New World.
This is how such an eerie triangular perspective is formed.
Zhao Lei and the village chief naturally didn't notice the strangeness of the people around them, after all, the focus of both of them was still in this topic.
The village chief was a little anxious and said, "King, since you don't use spells, do you have any other methods?" ”
Zhao Lei pondered for a moment: "Have you ever heard of a waterwheel?" It is a tool that can transport water from the river to the fields for irrigation. ”
Li Jincheng raised his head: "King, do you mean to overturn the car?" Jincheng has read it from a book. However, if you plan to use the overturned car to solve the village's water supply problem, I am afraid that you will disappoint you, the king. ”
Speaking of this, Li Jincheng was slightly disappointed, and then continued: "Jincheng also considered whether the overturned car could solve the drought problem in the village. But the nearest river to the village has to go into the mountains. There are so many mountain spirits and beasts in the mountains that we can't get there at all.
Moreover, the overturned car can only divert the river water from the high place to the downstream, and the topography of our Lijia Village does not meet this point at all, so the original Jincheng gave up this idea. ”
Zhao Lei was slightly surprised.
It seems that the mortal level of this immortal cultivation world is not too backward.
At least there are already watermills.
But that's just the first generation of waterwheels.
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as the axle is used well, the effect of low water and high delivery can be achieved. Even if the terrain is really not good, we can also build an ox to turn over or a donkey to turn over, and use animal power to drive the rollover, which can also achieve the effect of low water and high delivery. ”
Li Jincheng heard it in a fog.
He had never heard of a cow turning over a car or a water turning over a car.
But it didn't prevent him from being shocked by the effect of what Zhao Lei said!
If the tiger demon in front of him can really solve the problem of low water and high delivery, it will really benefit the people of the world!
How much fertile land is too much to cultivate because of the topography?
If these lands are liberated and the people have more land to cultivate, doesn't that mean that the people will have more food and will not starve again in the future?!
Lee Jin-sung was so excited that he even forgot the etiquette.
With wide eyes, he walked up to Zhao Lei and held Zhao Lei's big hand: "King, really?!" ”
Zhao Lei shook off his hand with a disgusted face: "It's not true, don't you know when the overturned car is built?" ”
Li Jincheng didn't mind Zhao Lei's dislike, and nodded heavily: "Hmm!" Sorry, it's a rude faux pas. ”
Then he stood aside, and his heart went up and down.
I can't wait to drag Zhao Lei to build a rollover immediately.
Zhao Lei ignored him, and continued to say to himself: "As for the mountain spirit beast. That's not a problem. When the villagers were building the overturned car, as long as our three brothers left their breath there, no beast would dare to approach and make trouble. ”
With this said, Li Jincheng was even more sure that Zhao Lei was not talking casually.
This made him look forward to it even more.
The admiration in Li Ergou's eyes deepened a little.
Bailu's aunt's smile became brighter.
Although the village chief didn't quite understand what Zhao Lei was saying, when he saw Li Jincheng's reaction, he also realized that Zhao Lei should have found a solution to the water source, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, King!" Thank you, King! ”
Zhao Lei waved his hand: "It's not too late for you to thank me when the matter is done." Also, the problems of drought and winter need to be solved, but you can't stop reading! Starting tomorrow, young people and children under the age of 20, both male and female, will come to the ancestral hall to read and write. After the morning class, I will go back to help you with the farming. After that, you adults, no matter how old you are, will come and study. In short, take turns doing things and allocate time to read and write. ”
Li Jin made it difficult to set up a horse.
He also wanted Zhao Lei to hurry up and build the overturned car.
"King, this ......"
"Don't do this, I'm not talking to you, I'm informing you."
Li Jincheng could only nod helplessly in agreement.
Subsequently, Zhao Lei asked the village chief: "How many poultry are there in your village, have you done statistics?" ”
Zhao Lei would ask this, naturally not without reason.
Previously, the little demon on this mountain, only the squirrel spirit himself, whether it was hunting by himself, or regularly supplying meat to the long-lived fox king, the resources of the mountains and forests were very sufficient, and it would not affect the ecology.
But now that the three brothers of Zhao Lei have taken shape, they are different.
White deer and black sheep no longer just eat vegetarian food.
In addition, Zhao Lei's appetite is bigger than that of squirrel essence.
If they only feed their three brothers, the resources of this mountain forest can barely support it.
But if you add the meat offering, it's not enough.
In the long run, it will definitely eat the animals in the mountains and forests.
If it's an ordinary youkai, they just need to go down the mountain and catch a few humans and go back to the errand.
But Zhao Lei is absolutely unacceptable.
After all, the soul in his heart is still a human being, and he really can't do it if he wants to talk to a human being.
So he had no choice but to hit the idea into the village.
The village chief didn't dare to snub Zhao Lei, a living bodhisattva who could change their fate, and hurriedly replied: "King, there are still hundreds of chickens and ducks combined. But as for the pigs, in order to avoid forced labor last time, the village sold a lot, and now there are only a few left. Cattle and sheep have some. Dare to ask the king, I don't know why you are asking this because ......"
I heard Zhao Lei ask about poultry.
The village chief still has some small expectations in his heart.
If Zhao Lei hit the idea on the poultry and didn't eat them, he would still be happy to give these poultry to Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei did not answer him.
I silently estimated in my heart.
According to the squirrel spirit, he needs to weigh 2,000 kilograms of meat each time. That's about the weight of eight adult tigers, or eight pigs.
That's not a small amount.
If you really want to catch a species, you may also wipe out people.
It's like the most numerous wolf in the mountains and forests.
The average wolf is only 50 kilograms.
At one time, 20 wolves were caught.
They need to make offerings twice a year.
No matter how many wolves there are, they will be swept away, let alone other animals?
And, more importantly, Zhao Lei doesn't plan to supply only 2,000 kilograms this time. He intends to supply 4000 kilograms. In exchange for the forgiveness of the Demon King.
After all, the squirrel spirit was killed by their three brothers.
They have to be funny, right?
Even if you can't see the demon king, it is necessary to prepare extra meat to bribe the little demon who came to collect the meat.
Otherwise, if others go back and add salt and vinegar to make a small report, won't their three brothers start to flee?
After some estimation, Zhao Lei felt that there were still not enough poultry in the village.
Maybe enough for him to pay the tribute this time.
But what about next time?
So he looked at Li Ergou, took out the silver taels that he had scavenged from Huang Fugui and the others, and ordered: "Look at how many pigs are enough to buy the silver taels here, as well as feed." Buy as much as you can. From today onwards, your village will not only study and develop agriculture, but also build a livestock farm. ”
