9. Reclamation of wasteland
No one knew when the First and Second had returned, but when they got up in the morning, they were still standing on the walls.
Early the next morning. Ono unleashes a number of flying cameras the size of mosquitoes and flies in all directions to explore unknown maps.
The people got up one after another.
Pay attention to some water to wipe your face, and those who are used to fleeing go out directly. The men put on their clothes and waited at the gates. A woman with a child tied the baby with a cloth behind her back, which can not only work without delaying the child.
A gathering place at the gates of the city.
As the sky gets brighter, more and more people gather. Wei Zhou and Yuan You arrived together.
The slaves sat or stood, knowing that they were not welcomed, and distanced themselves from the crowd.
Everyone stood in a mess, looking forward to it.
"Today's wasteland, everyone is working hard." Yuanyou stood up and spoke, "The new city lord is kind-hearted and understands that it is not easy for slaves to work in shackles. It is hereby ordered that the shackles be removed. Slaves, please stand forward. Take off the shackles, and then you can work. ”
Everyone was stunned.
The slaves couldn't believe it. They have been shackled since birth and have no idea what it is like to be free.
Leng Yi took the lead and took the lead in standing out.
Wei Zhou nodded in satisfaction and motioned to the soldiers on the side. Two soldiers stepped forward and unshackled.
The mold of the shackles is universal, and the keys are very similar.
If you can't do it once, you can always open it after a few more attempts.
The shackles were untied and the soldiers put away.
Leng Yi felt that his hands and feet had never been so relaxed, it turned out that the shackles were such a heavy thing.
Freedom was too good for him to be a little confused. The body is not adapted, and he almost falls to the side when he moves.
"Don't take up space. Next. The soldier pushed Leng Yi aside. Immediately slaves came, and they consciously lined up.
In the end, it was Fang You'an's turn.
Wei Zhou and Yuanyou couldn't help but be surprised, it was said that they had become the little servants in the city lord's courtyard, but they could not come.
But when people come, they won't say anything.
A pair of shackles were removed, some people wept with joy, and some stood in place in a daze. How could they have imagined that one day they would be able to remove the shackles?
The hands, feet, and body are so relaxed, like a new life.
"The city lord is merciful, you have to work hard in return." Yuan You opened his mouth to remind, and observed them quietly.
He asked for grace, but he didn't want anyone to be ungrateful. If you really don't know what to do, you can only be expelled.
"Thank you Lord for releasing us. We will definitely work hard to reciprocate. Thank you to the lord of the city, thank you to the lord of the city ......"
The slaves were thrilled with thanks.
Yuanyou didn't see anyone with a wrong expression, so he nodded with relief. It's kind of acquaintance.
"It's hilarious." Zhu Qinghong, who was wearing a red dress, walked over. Everyone looked over and was instantly amazed.
She pulled up her hair and combed it in a bun.
The red and green headband at the back of the head hangs down, fluttering and dancing when the wind blows. A strand of hair hung down from her sideburns, adding a touch of tenderness to her flamboyant beauty. Green top, red skirt, intricate and delicate dark lines.
The tassel accessories on her waist collide with her movements, flying out of a different kind of beauty. The makeup is perfect, the jewelry is gorgeous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fairy in the sky. Zhu Qinghong's beautiful eyes are circulating, how suffocating.
Her red lips were slightly raised, and her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming.
"See the Castle Lord." Wonwoo was the first to react.
Wei Zhou immediately came back to his senses and bowed his head and saluted.
And then the soldiers, the people.
Fang Youan knelt down and saluted, shouting to the city lord.
The slaves followed suit.
The people hesitated for a moment and knelt down with the crowd.
"See the city lord" in unison, the people's hearts are desired.
Zhu Qinghong smiled and raised his hand: "Get up." Yuan military division, out of the city. ”
"Yes." Yuan You looked at Wei Zhou.
Wei Zhou immediately asked the soldiers to open the city gate.
The people stood up and got out of the way.
The city gate slowly opened, and Zhu Qinghong was the first to walk out of the city lord. Yuanyou and Wei Zhou followed, followed by the people.
Except for the soldiers who stood guard, everyone left the city in a big way. When Zhu Qinghong came to the forest where he lived that night, the terrain was flat and endless. The door to the space opens, and a cylindrical robot wearing a doctor's hat appears.
It spits out a piece of paper with a floor plan drawn on it.
Yuanyou took it and looked at Wei Zhou for some reason.
Zhu Qinghong turned around: "Come empty-handed one by one, do you use hand planing to open up the wasteland?" ”
Some people have done the work and carried hoes.
Some people looked at each other and immediately turned around and went back to the city to get their tools. Zhu Qinghong beckoned and asked the man with the hoe to step forward.
She turned the paper in Yuanyou's hand around: "Take it the other way around." This is a plan and design diagram of cultivated land. ”
Looking at their expressions, Zhu Qinghong knew that he didn't understand.
The Doctor's Hat robot rolls on the ground, drawing a straight line.
[Planting in the ground within the planing line. In groups of three, at least three times before planting. Please act as soon as possible. 】
The three men with hoes immediately went over and waved their hoes and planers. hoe after hoe, the soil was so tight that the shaking made the hands numb.
In order to survive, this little hardship is nothing.
They continued to dig without saying a word, and the three of them had a clear division of labor, and one person was responsible for digging again. When a piece of land is finished, they exchange orders. After all, those who planed for the first time suffered a loss, and no one took advantage of anyone in turn.
Zhu Qinghong had a good impression of these three people, and specially asked for their names. Lin Mu, Tian Wei, Fang Ye, the local people of Tianchongcheng.
They are neighbors, good at work. Since the destruction of the cultivated land, they have become soldiers to protect their families.
She nodded, giving them some authority to manage some people. Count yourself as a group leader.
After all, there is a capability, and it cannot be buried.
The others brought tools and began to work under Wei Zhou's command. Some people have not done it, Lin Mu, Tian Wei, and Fang Ye are responsible for teaching. It's not a difficult thing, practice makes perfect. After learning, all that remains is to work hard.
If you are lazy, you will be looked down upon by everyone.
It's tiring, it's bitter, but everyone's hearts are sweet.
They know that plowing the ground is not for someone else, just to fill their stomachs.
Lunch is served.
Everyone lined up at the city gate to receive food, one person with a thick noodle steamed bun and a bowl of white porridge. After a busy morning, my stomach growled with hunger. The crowd devoured and choked without fear at all.
After eating, I licked the bowls one by one, and I was not full.
For women with children, feed the children with gruel first.
Chew your own steamed buns and drink some soup.
Zhu Qinghong was very impressed by her.
I worked hard and didn't ask for anything because I was carrying my children. The tough woman is likable, but Zhu Qinghong does not have special preferential treatment.
After lunch, I started plowing again.
The first and second escorts, during which there were demon infestations, and they were all beaten away.
The people trembled from the beginning to the end to concentrate on their work. The first and second numbers give them an unprecedented sense of security.
It was getting dark, and everyone slowly returned to the city.
Only one meal a day is provided, and in the evening they are hungry to drink water or survive. Endure hunger and look forward to eating tomorrow at noon. In order to harvest enough food, a large amount of wasteland must be cultivated.
These days they are plowing the ground in addition to plowing.
More and more land was dug out, and there was less and less grain in the granary. Yuanyou was so anxious that he swallowed it back every time he opened his mouth.
The flight camera sent back a lot of footage, and found a small river in the south. Going up the river, there is a river.
The creek is a branch of the river, and the water source is guaranteed. Although the water source was found, it was not so easy to attract it.
It's a bit far away, and there are a lot of demons along the way. Demons also need to eat, drink, and gather more naturally near the water source.
Zhu Qinghong placed the map presented after exploration on the table, there was a river in the south and a city in the north.
It's a little bigger than Tianchong City.
There are forests in the west and great powers in the east. The forest is better than on this side, at least it looks lush.
When Yuanyou entered, he saw Zhu Qinghong staring at the desktop in a daze. Zhu Qinghong beckoned: "Do you know what's going on in this forest in the west?" ”
He went over and was amazed at the breadth of the drawing.
Yuan You scanned the map and replied: "I have read it in the book, the Demon Forest." ”
With just one name, I probably know what the situation is like in the forest. The lair of demons, no wonder the flying camera folds inside.
Zhu Qinghong stretched out his hand and pointed to the river in the south: "If you want to irrigate the fields, you must have sufficient water. Although there are many demons here, it is not impossible to operate. But we are currently understaffed, and even if there is no demon interference, we will not be able to attract the river. ”
[Master, Ono can bring water. Buried pipes in the ground will not be destroyed. Safe and secure. 】
Ignoring Ono, Zhu Qinghong continued: "So this water source is just for the record. After all, we still have well water to drink. ”
Yuanyou looked up at her, and those calm eyes said it all. He arched his hand: "The reclamation of wasteland is going well, when will the seeds be planted?" ”
"Tomorrow." Zhu Qinghong put away the map and said, "Divide the person into two parts." While continuing to plow the ground, sow the seeds. ”
"Yes. I'll do it right away. Yuanyou bowed and retreated.
Zhu Qinghong smiled, knowing that Yuanyou had understood what she meant.
[Master, as long as you put on the mecha and buy time. Ono promised to bring in the water. Why not do it? 】
"Ono, people only cherish what they get hard." Zhu Qinghong got up, "We've done everything, what's the use of these subordinates?" I give a goal and let them do their best to accomplish it. The fruit that you have worked hard to pick is the sweetest. ”
No matter how many years it takes, she has patience.
Zhu Qinghong hopes to see that the people use their wisdom and labor to do what they can do.
Instead of relying on her everywhere. Knowing that she intended the water source, I was really looking forward to what Yuanyou would do.
Wei Zhou just entered the mansion, and it was very strange to see Yuanyou looking like he was out of his mind.
He asked, "What happened?" ”
"General Wei, there is a river to the south." Yuanyou sighed, "It's our indispensable water source. However, the demons all the way are in the way, and it is not easy to take it. How do you think we can bring the water? How many years will it take to achieve? ”
"Drawing water from the eyes of demons?" Wei Zhou was shocked, "You are too whimsical." It's impossible. ”
Yuanyou looked directly at Wei Zhou: "Is it really impossible?" General Wei, anything great is whimsical until it succeeds. ”
Once successful, it's a feat. Diverting water for the benefit of future generations is a matter of great benefit.
They have to do it, and they have to do it well.
"Are you serious?" Wei Zhou was helpless, "Do you know that we don't even know where next month's food is?" Instead of thinking about the water source that is out of reach, look at the present. Let's find a way to get food to fill everyone's stomachs. ”
"Yes. You're right. Yuanyou bowed his hand, then turned to leave.
Wei Zhou was confused, what to do with the food......
Wonwoo returned home and sat at the table in a daze.
He turned his head to look at the mechanical bird on his shoulder, his hand touching its eyes. The next moment, Wonwoo entered a place full of books.
His mind moved, and countless books flew over.
Yuanyou took one and flipped through it carefully.
