11. Genetic modification

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are steamed whole and authentic. The ground cornmeal is made into a gnocchi soup, which is more filling than gruel.

After a few days of rest, the men began plowing the land for the second time. This time the ground was much softer and easier than the first time.

The straw sandals made by the women are sold by the public and are very popular. Especially for work, straw sandals are more convenient, durable, and dirt-resistant than new cloth shoes.

This time, wheat and radish were planted.

Wheat milled into flour can make a lot of delicacies.

Radish is easy to preserve and nutritious.

Fang Youan had already returned to the yard to clean, and when he heard that the second batch of farming was going to be carried out, he wanted to work.

Lazy and have no food to eat.

"Wait." Zhu Qinghong stopped Fang You'an, who was walking out, "You have been working in the field, but you can't become my guard." ”

His eyes lit up, Fang Youan turned around and knelt in front of her: "Please make it clear to the city lord." How do I qualify to be a guard? ”

Looking at Fang You'an, Zhu Qinghong found that he was not as skinny as before, and he had grown taller.

She asked, "How old are you?" ”

"Eleven." Fang You'an's eyes burned and looked at Zhu Qinghong. He was young, but he knew exactly what path to take.

Zhu Qinghong nodded: "To be my guard, you need to go through the pain of deboning and marrow extraction." If you can't survive it, you'll die. ”

Fang Youan kowtowed deeply: "I am willing." As long as you can be the city lord's guard, you will have no regrets in dying. ”

"Okay." Zhu Qinghong stepped forward to help the person up, "Ono, genetically modify him." Prepare embedded mechs. ”

[Yes, master.] Name: Fang You'an. Male, eleven years old. Voluntarily genetically modified to carry embedded mechs. 】

Hearing this voice for the first time, Fang Youan was extremely shocked. The door to the space opened, revealing Ono's figure.

[Fang You'an, walk in. Genetically modified to be the owner's bodyguard. Do you regret it? 】

"Never!" Fang Youan clenched his fists and walked into the space door with a firm look. Inside it was a clean and huge room.

Zhu Qinghong then came in and authorized the start.

A large tank emerges from the ground, filled with a clear unidentified liquid.

"Fang You'an, take off your clothes and go in." Zhu Qinghong ordered. Fang You'an immediately stripped naked and walked towards the cultivation tank.

Two robotic arms stretched out and grabbed him and pulled him into the tank. In an unknown liquid, Fang Youan could breathe.

[Initiating genetic modification.] 】

A machine with a sharp needle fell, stabbing into the back of Fang You'an's neck like a snake.

It hurts, as if the bones of the whole body have been shattered.

Fang was patient again, and something flowed into his body from behind, causing a burst of pain. One wave hurt more than another, and he curled up on his toes, opening his mouth wide and not making a sound. Fang You'an grabbed the transparent wall cover with both hands.

[Master, with his physique, genetic modification takes a month. During the construction of an embedded mecha suitable for him. 】

"Hmm." Zhu Qinghong glanced at the painful Fang You'an and turned to leave. After she left, the door closed on its own.

A month, as long as you survive a month......

Fang Youan clenched his fists. He will be able to become a guardian and stand by the side of his gods.

This belief made him hold on and let him hold on.

Even if countless blood gushed out of the skin, staining the entire culture tank red......

Castle Lord's Mansion.

Yuan You came in with a piece of cloth in his hand: "City Lord, the first linen cloth has been made, take a look." ”

Zhu Qinghong smiled and touched the linen cloth, very satisfied: "It's good." With cloth, you can make ready-to-wear garments. ”

At present, the people of Tianchong City only have one set of clothes to wear, which is really cold.

When ready-to-wear is made, there can also be a change of clothes.

"Yes." Yuanyou smiled, "There is food and clothes." The lives of the people are getting better and better. ”

"Not enough." Zhu Qinghong's words made his smile disappear, "There are only a few hundred people in a huge city, far from the level of prosperity. ”

Strong, prosperous, and now far from the scene of the dream. Yuan You bowed: "The population is not easy to solve. ”

It's not easy to solve.

Increasing the number of people is nothing more than encouraging children or taking people from other cities. However, the world here is full of demons, and it is difficult to communicate between cities.

Where do they go to find someone? The wandering people who are outside can't be satisfied with three melons and two dates.

Zhu Qinghong couldn't help but think of the country east of Tianchong City, and he would take a look after a while. There are priests in that country.

"You let people stare more in the field." She smiled and said, "When the cabbage is ripe, it will be put into the grain storehouse, and everyone can eat a variety of foods." ”

"Yes." Yuanyou went down with the cloth in his hand.

Zhu Qinghong waved his hand, and the map unfolded in front of him.

The flying camera can't reach farther, something is in the way. It seems that the demons elsewhere are not weak, at least stronger than the ones she encountered.

You have to think about it to regain its combat effectiveness.

Mineral...... Where to find it?

Zhu Qinghong's gaze moved to the country to the east. The priestly power, she was very interested.

Outside the city.

The people worked diligently to farm the land. As soon as a demon approaches, the number one and number two are quickly resolved.

Wei Zhou stood on the city wall, and his heart was very steady.

The main street is getting more and more lively, and soldiers help carry food.

Before lunch, the shop has to make quite a bit of food. Several people hurried and hurried, and they were in full swing. They wiped their sweat and smiled.

Yuanyou commanded a group of people to dig cabbage.

A group of soldiers carry the harvested cabbage into the granary.

It entered the grain depot and was managed by Ono.

Everyone has their own job.

Zhu Qinghong rode on the flying car and stealthily to the demon forest, and saw many strange-shaped demons along the way.

Some still retain the characteristics of the animals, and some are no longer recognizable. Demons are evolving, and that's not good news for humans.

The forest of demons, the big trees are towering.

Zhu Qinghong was riding over the woods when an unknown object suddenly attacked.

She drove away from the car, her brow furrowed.

Obviously invisible, why can the other party find out.

That's ...... Tail?

[Master, it is recommended to retreat immediately. A large number of organisms have been detected gathering in this direction. Stealth doesn't seem to work for them. 】

"Damn." Zhu Qinghong immediately drove away.

She already knew the danger of the Demon Forest, and she wouldn't come back until her combat strength was restored.

After she left, there was a loud bang in the Demon Forest. The trees toppled over one after another, and it took a long time to calm down.

Zhu Qinghong went to the south to explore the river.

Indeed, there are many demons gathered here, and there are occasional fights. Most of these demons also have animal characteristics, which is relatively safe compared to the Demon Forest. She went up the river, and the more she went, the stronger the demon's combat power became.

couldn't take the risk, Zhu Qinghong turned around decisively.

She then went to the country to the east and the city to the north, and had a general idea.

When I returned to Tianchong City, it was already dark.

Zhu Qinghong jumped off the ground, and the speeding car recovered itself.

The hall was brightly lit.

Ono offers a menu for dinner.

After she had chosen, she sat on the main seat, and the mineral was detected on the side of the big country in the east.

There are minerals, and she can regain some combat effectiveness.

Zhu Qinghong was pondering, and Yuan You came in to present the amount of cabbage he had harvested today.

She took it and looked at it casually.

The things that are moved into the grain depot have their own Ono records, so as long as the quantity is almost the same, it is fine......

"What's going on?" Zhu Qinghong frowned, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" The number of inbound items is obviously less than your record. ”

"This ......," Motoyou sighed, "some people think it tastes good after eating it." There is a thing of going with the stuff down. ”

You and I take one, or several people take one in partnership. They thought they wouldn't be discovered, and they should be fine?

Sure enough, people can't eat too much. Zhu Qinghong got up and returned the record to Yuanyou: "The law will be promulgated tomorrow." ”

Before he had enough to eat and drink, he stole something. How can it be tolerated.

Zhu Qinghong's eyes were sharp, just to set an example for the monkey.

Wonwoo opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Zhu Qinghong raised her hand, and a fold fell into her palm, on which a simple law was written.

She handed it over, and Yuan You hurriedly caught it with both hands and looked through it.

Zhu Qinghong sneered: "Steal a cabbage and cut off one of its fingers." ”

What?

Yuan You looked up in shock: "Is it too harsh?" It is too brutal and may cause dissatisfaction among the people. ”

"Dissatisfied? Whoever is dissatisfied will be thrown out. Zhu Qinghong's eyes were cold and said, "Tomorrow, I will order someone to read the law aloud at the city gate." Those who were restless were also tortured on the spot. Touching someone else's stuff should be punished. I'd like to see if anyone is unconvinced. ”

Precedents cannot be set.

People are the best at inches. There is no punishment for one person to do it, and more and more people will follow suit.

Zhu Qinghong doesn't like white-eyed wolves. This matter is not strangled in the cradle, the foundation is unstable, and people's hearts are floating.

Yuanyou wants to persuade.

Zhu Qinghong raised his hand to stop: "I have made up my mind." Yuan Junshi, you can't be indecisive at this moment. ”

"Yes." Yuanyou bowed his head.

Only by killing decisively can we cure unhealthy trends.

He can't be soft-hearted, he can't be soft-hearted.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Wei Zhou led his troops to guard the city gate.

They were so angry that someone had stolen!

The more people gathered, Yuan You unfolded the excerpt and read it aloud. The soldiers were quick to pick up a few people who had stolen cabbage yesterday.

Those people were still smiling, not knowing that disaster was coming.

Another group of people came, and the soldiers immediately went up to arrest them, and all of them knelt on the ground.

Twenty or thirty people were held in front and back, and the people whispered. After Yuan You finished reading, he closed the fold: "These people steal cabbage, that is, steal everyone's rations." The city lord ordered: a cabbage is cut off a finger. Come on, execute! ”

A group of soldiers stepped forward and grabbed the prisoner's hand and pressed it to the ground. The prisoners panicked, wept bitterly, and begged for mercy.

The knife had just been raised, and it fell heavily.

The prisoners cried out in pain.

The fingers fell off and the blood flowed profusely.

The people turned pale with fright, and they retreated. Someone stole two and naturally cut off two fingers.

The soldiers did not listen to their pleas for mercy at all, and their swords fell. The ground at the gates of the city was stained with pools of blood, and fingers fell one after another.

Wei Zhou was disdainful, and he knew that he was so why he had to do it in the first place. The soldiers were still indignant and glared at the prisoners.

Yuanyou closed his eyes and suppressed his unbearable heart, and then opened his eyes and said sharply: "The food belongs to everyone, and no one can take it for themselves." Today is just a small lesson, and next time you don't want your hands. Still not grateful for the magnanimity of the city lord? ”

The prisoners covered their hands, painful and remorseful. The finger was cut off, and he also thanked the city lord's men for their mercy.

The man with strong blood threw a stone at the prisoner: "Stealing everyone's rations, you deserve to be cut off!" ”

It's hard to have food, who wants to be stolen.

The crowd was excited, or scolded or spitted.

It won't be a good life, but you owe it!
