8. The talents of the pillars
In the absence of a nearby river, there are only two sources of water: groundwater and rainfall. The seeds haven't been planted yet, so what rain is falling? As she thought, a tile fell.
"Smack" smashed on the ground and became fragments.
“……”
What is the city lord's mansion, it is better to live in your own villa. Zhu Qinghong raised his forehead: "Ono, integrate with the City Lord's Mansion." ”
[Yes, master.] The villa and the city lord's mansion are integrated, and the integration progress is 10%, 20%, 30%, ......]
Ono separates a cloud of light, and the light scatters in all directions and blends into the building. It can be seen with the naked eye that the entire City Lord's Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Something burrows into the walls, in the pillars.
The tiles are churning and the eaves are towering.
The dilapidated was repaired and the pattern changed.
The blue glazed tiles shine brightly.
The heavy eaves rest gabled roof is magnificent.
The eaves are lifelike, and the copper bells under the eaves swing with the wind. White marble steps, carved phoenix pillars. One step at a time, people stop and watch, lingering.
Wait for Ono to prompt fusion to 100%.
The City Lord's Mansion has a new look.
The gate is brand new, and a pair of stone lions have round eyes and mighty eyes.
There is not a single yellow weed everywhere, only vigorous and beautiful.
Yuanyou came out of the grain depot and was stunned.
He wasn't sure to go back to the grain depot and come out again. Even if you rub your eyes, the scene in front of you has not changed.
It's true? Wonwoo looked closely and found that even the building of the grain depot had been renovated.
To be able to do this, I think only the new city owner.
All the way to the main hall, he went all the way back to the main hall.
Many of the scenery he had never seen before, rockeries and ponds, carved beams and painted buildings.
When the sky darkened, the palace lights under the porch automatically lit up. It is not as dim as a candle, but very bright, no different from day.
Yuan You walked into the main hall, and the lights were bright, as if there was no trace of darkness. Zhu Qinghong smiled and raised his hand: "Come and have dinner together." ”
It's a good thing that my subordinates have a busy day, and it's a bit harsh not to eat. Four robotic arms hang down from the roof and place two dishes and one soup on the low table.
Behind the low table is a futon, one table per person.
Wonwoo walked over in surprise and didn't dare to move when he looked at the food in front of him.
Zhu Qinghong sat on the main seat, made of mahogany on a long case, and carved peonies and phoenixes on the edges.
She eats quietly.
After calming down for a long time, Yuanyou picked up the chopsticks and tasted the vegetables. Appropriate oil and salt, minced garlic to enhance the flavor, sweet in the mouth.
It turns out that as long as you are willing to work hard, the green vegetables are also delicious. Yuanyou ate the green vegetables and steaked rice, his eyes moistened as he ate, and his throat choked.
"City Lord." The tears in his eyes fell into the bowl, "Will everyone be able to eat such delicious dishes in the future?" ”
Zhu Qinghong smiled: "Of course, there are more delicious ones." Don't just eat vegetables, eat meat. Food cannot be wasted. ”
"If you don't waste it, I won't waste it." Yuanyou wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and didn't touch the plate of braised pork after picking up a bowl of rice.
She was helpless.
He looked up and said a little embarrassed: "Can I take this plate of meat and share it with everyone?" ”
"Whatever you want." Zhu Qinghong waved his hand. Demons can't eat it, so she may have to get some livestock to raise.
Yuanyou bowed deeply with joy, and went out cautiously with both hands on the plate.
Zhu Qinghong smiled and continued to eat.
The corridor is bright.
Yuanyou hid the plate in his arms, and mysteriously asked a soldier to call everyone over. The soldier received the order, turned around and quickly called everyone together, including Fang You'an, who had just entered the mansion.
When everyone arrived, Yuanyou smiled and took out the plate.
"Meat!" Everyone's eyes lit up, and their saliva flowed. They hadn't eaten meat in a long, long time.
"Don't worry, everyone has a share." Yuanyou counted the amount of braised pork and saw that one piece was not enough for one person.
He called for someone to go to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and a group of people squatted in the corridor to divide the meat. No matter whether they are fat or thin, they are divided into hands and put in their mouths one by one, and they are reluctant to swallow them.
For the first time, Fang Youan knew what meat tasted like.
It's so delicious that I can't wait to swallow my tongue, even if I die at the moment.
"This plate of meat is rewarded by the city lord." Yuanyou handed out the empty plate and let them lick the juice, "Do a good job, the city lord can't owe you." The city lord ordered the wasteland to be cleared tomorrow, and the first and second brothers will escort us, so we don't have to be afraid of demons. ”
"Really? That's great! The soldiers were beaming with joy. If you open up the wasteland and grow food, you will not go hungry again if you have a harvest.
"So tomorrow, except for the people on duty, I will go to farm." Yuanyou patted the soldier's head, "If you are lazy, you will have no food." ”
"Clearing the land is a great thing. Whoever dares to be lazy, I'll be the first to kick him to death! We're staring, sneaking out of the way! ”
"That's right! Get out! Finally, a good city lord came to take us to a good life. You can't let the city lord chill his heart. ”
One by one, the soldiers were impassioned, and they had another reverence for the new city lord. The fear of strength, the respect of hope.
"Return the bowl, the city lord's things want to be hidden?" Wonwoo held out his hand to one of the soldiers.
The man smiled and took out the bowl in his arms.
They have never seen such white and flawless porcelain, and the people mostly use pottery bowls. This kind of good thing, they can't use it once in their lives.
"It's shallow. Follow the city lord, these good things will be indispensable in the future. "Yuanyou is serious," and meat to eat. ”
"Yes, there's meat to eat." Everyone nodded earnestly.
From beginning to end, they were squatting in the hallway, without the slightest image.
The palace lights under the porch are still bright.
Inside the main hall. Ono projected a scene in the corridor, Zhu Qinghong watched while eating.
"It's obviously his own reward, but he puts the credit on me." Zhu Qinghong was full of food and put the bowl, "It's really interesting." ”
[Master, the water detector has been released.] There is not much groundwater to sustain the drinking needs of the entire city. Now there are several wells in the city, and the water is drying up. Combined with environmental calculations, it should be caused by not having rain for a long time. 】
"Is it raining?" Zhu Qinghong drank lemonade, "Calculate the weather and see when it is suitable for artificial rainfall." ”
[Yes, master.] In order to revitalize the whole city, a fixed water source is needed. Are flying cameras sent to look for rivers? 】
Zhu Qinghong turned off the projection screen: "With Tianchong City as the center, send flying cameras in all directions to explore the nearby map." ”
【Okay.】 Master, open up the wasteland tomorrow, please choose the seeds. Ono recommends planting corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. 】
Corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are filling and relatively drought-tolerant. Zhu Qinghong accepted the suggestion and set the seeds of these three things.
This side has just been decided, and Yuanyou came over to return the bowl.
He respectfully placed the bowl on the table and began to report the amount of grain in the granary.
"After taking in refugees and slaves, the number of people in our city is close to seven hundred." Yuanyou handed over the recorded booklet, "There is not much food in the warehouse, even if everyone only eats one meal a day." After a month, there was not enough food. The time is too short for the grain to be harvested. ”
Zhu Qinghong looked at the booklet that recorded the grain in detail, and the type and weight were clear at a glance.
She nodded: "I have my own way." ”
The lord of the city said.
Yuanyou put his mind at ease: "There is one more thing. City lord, are the slave's shackles open? ”
"How can I work if I don't open it?" Zhu Qinghong was puzzled. How much work can you do in shackles?
Pull down the workload.
Yuanyou knelt down, his eyes full of respect, and said, "Thank you for the grace of the city lord." Slaves are shackled from birth and may never be able to take them off for the rest of their lives. The lord of the city was merciful and allowed them to shed their shackles and become subjects. On behalf of the slaves, I thank the lord for his kindness. ”
Zhu Qinghong looked at Yuan You with a smile and didn't care about his little calculations. Externally, he probably won't say that it's the grace he asked, but that the city lord is kind. Such a good minister, always thinking about winning people's hearts for his master.
Don't be greedy for a little work, don't want a little profit.
The talents of the pillars.
Zhu Qinghong looked satisfied: "Ono, give him a mechanical bird." Master Yuan, don't live up to my expectations. ”
A bird shaped like a sparrow flew out of thin air and landed on Yuanyou's shoulder. It's crooked and vivid, and who can tell it's mechanical.
"With this bird, you can talk to me at any time, no matter where you are." Zhu Qinghong got up and stepped forward to help Yuan You, "The wasteland is completed, and then I will transfer No. 1 to you as a guard." Take care and watch me realize the vision of your dreams. ”
"City Lord ......" Yuanyou was flattered.
The scene in the dream, the food is abundant, the country and the people are safe, and the people return to their hearts.
His eyes were hot.
If you can really see that kind of scene, you will never give up. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he is willing to go.
Zhu Qinghong patted Yuanyou on the shoulder: "After the reclamation is over, separate the women and men." Men build cities, women weave and sew. I don't want to see my people in rags. How to arrange it, you take the time to draw up a charter. ”
"Yes." Yuanyou received the order.
When demons are no longer a threat, they can survive as long as they work hard.
"The houses in the city are planned, and who lives in which house must be fixed." Zhu Qinghong walked to the door, "The weather hasn't been cold recently, let them bear with it first." Get through this most difficult time, and it will be okay in the future. I'm tired of you walking around and soothing people's hearts. ”
"Yuan's responsibilities don't dare to call it hard work." Yuan You bowed to Zhu Qinghong, "The city lord thinks long-term, and I can't do it." ”
It's quite good at sycophancy.
Zhu Qinghong smiled slyly: "Since you know that your knowledge is limited, you should read more." The mechanical bird has the function of querying information and stores many books. In your spare time, you read more and increase your knowledge. Enrich yourself and benefit more people. ”
"Yes." Yuanyou couldn't help but look at the dumbfounded bird on his shoulder.
Books, knowledge, he needs it a lot.
He had limited knowledge and was trapped in a city.
If you can learn more, you will be able to better assist the city lord. Let Tianchongcheng become rich as soon as possible, so that everyone no longer has to starve.
"Tomorrow I'll go with me to clear the wasteland." Zhu Qinghong looked at the moon in the sky, "You have been busy for a day, go down and rest." ”
Yuanyou saluted and stepped back.
A lot happened to him on this day.
The lord of the city died, and the lord of the new city ascended the throne.
Demons besiege the city and contain the people.
He didn't go to sleep right away when he got home, but lit an oil lamp and wrote a charter. If you meet the Lord, you will live up to your trust.
City.
Refugees and slaves looked for a place to live. There are a lot of empty houses in Tianchong City, and they are picky.
Undamaged, with bedding.
Pick the house, smell the musty smell and lie down. It's never been so reassuring, the silence is beautiful.
Although I was hungry, I forbearance passed.
I was used to the taste of hunger for a long time, but now it is not common.
I listened to the explanation that tomorrow the wasteland will be opened up to give them food, and if there is food, they can do anything. There is food and sleep, and the pursuit of simplicity in this life is extraordinarily simple. For them, that's happiness.
on the city walls.
The soldier on duty yawned. Seeing the tall No. 1 and No. 2, they felt very safe.
Number One and Number Two suddenly looked up, their eyes fixed on the front. Then they jumped off the walls and rushed into the night.
