When tens of thousands of demons were raging on the Sairuoman grassland, some herdsmen on the grassland escaped along the exit of Myra Mountain.
Although they escaped from the Demonic Mouth, many herdsmen on the plateau lost the livestock they depended on for survival. Almost all the horses and sheep that were grazing on the plateau remained on the plateau, and eventually became the rations of the demon army.
However, the herders followed Lord MacDonnell's army and fled all the way to Mukuso.
In Mukuso City, these herdsmen who knew nothing about any crafts and could only herd horses became homeless in the city.
Life was extremely difficult originally, and after the demon army destroyed the city, many people became refugees and entered Ruit City. Now after the victory of the war in the Ganbu plane, they followed the refugee team back to Mu.
Cuso.
It's just that there is no home for them in this city.
These people live in tents and participate in urban construction every day, but they cannot find a house of their own, so they can only live in tents and work every day just to have a bite to eat.
Life in the city, for these herders on the grasslands, is like a hyena in a cage.
sky, grass, horses
The days of riding a horse and galloping freely are like a distant and beautiful dream.
Thiago took a sip of water from his water bladder, pushed a collapsed earth wall completely, and started to clean up the ruins with a few herdsmen.
In the past, he had always envied the life in the city. There were all kinds of fresh fruits, various delicacies, and enthusiastic wine-selling girls in the city. As long as you had money, you could enjoy an unimaginable luxurious life.
Yes, the prerequisite is that you have money.
Now his pockets were cleaner than his face, so he found this place like an inescapable prison.
This city does not restrict anyone's freedom, but if you don't have money, what can you do if you leave here? Do you have to beg all the way back to Sai Ruoman?
I heard that there are no living creatures except weeds on the grasslands now. Not even a guinea pig can be found. Can you survive by going back to the grasslands and eating wild radishes, wild leeks and sweet roots?
He squinted his eyes and looked at the orange sky, feeling a little weak all over. How long will it take for these days to end?
Yesterday, I heard that someone robbed a shop in District 3.
Someone was beaten to death on the spot,
Some people also ran away,
Others were arrested by the knights of the guard camp,
I heard that it was done by a group of herdsmen on the Sai Ruoman Plateau.
No matter where you go in the city now, everyone will deliberately keep a distance when they see plateau herdsmen like them. The knights of the guard camp have set up a checkpoint at Beishan Pass. It is estimated that the escaped herdsmen will be caught before long.
I heard that the chief of security, Mr. Hamas, personally led his people to block the Beishan Pass and lived in a tent. It was said that he would not return to Mukuso if he could not catch these illegal herdsmen.
Thiago was a little confused. Shouldn't he send his men to do this kind of thing? Could it be that the shop that was robbed was owned by the home of the chief of security?
I heard that Mukuso City is currently strictly investigating security incidents. It is said that the blood of the prisoners who were recently sent to the guillotine has soaked the entire stone platform.
The legs of people who often ride horses will be a little bent. Tiago and his son moved a huge boulder and walked down the rubble with difficulty. This area needs to be cleared to build a new house. The collapsed walls were built very solidly by the previous owner.
It is difficult to break into small pieces, so it is very laborious to move it.
It was still a while before lunch, and Tiago was going to move the boulder and rest for a while. He was the small leader of the nearby plateau herdsmen, and they did not dare to accuse him of being lazy.
It rained a little last night, and the wet weather made his knees hurt.
At this time, the pleasant sound of horse hooves came from the distance.
Thiago threw the stones into the stone and looked towards the street. A group of cavalry was jogging along the long street. Residents along the way got out of the way and retreated to the street.
salute.
There is currently only one person in Mukuso who can make all the residents of the city stop what they are doing and run to the street to salute - Archon Suldak.
Not only because the Lord Viscount Surdak led the army to drive away the hell demons, but also because he exempted the entire Ganbu plane from taxes for one year. I heard that the farmer wanted to work on the farm outside the city.
, and will also enjoy additional subsidies.
It is said that they are now spending their own money to repair the entire city of Mukuso. Although they are using the savings in the treasury of the Mukuso Finance Department, in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference at all between the money and the money in the pocket of the Consul of Surdak.
Thiago saw the construct knight riding a blue-scaled horse. The magic pattern construct was unique in the entire city of Mukuso. He was sitting on the horse, tall and calm, with an air of calmness.
Awesome momentum.
A group of cavalry followed him. Initially, Thiago thought that the consul was just passing by this street.
In fact, residents can see him in the city inspecting the progress of the project every day.
Unexpectedly, Archon Suldak actually stopped in front of him, and the green-scaled horse's breath sprayed on his face, and the damp odor made him feel more intimate.
Thiago quickly led a group of plateau herdsmen to bow to the Consul of Suldak.
"What's your name?" Suldak lowered his head and asked the middle-aged herdsman in front of him.
"Dear Consul, Thiago is my name." Thiago replied seriously.
"Tiago, are you from the Sairuoman Plateau?" Surdak asked again.
"Samp Town on the Sairuoman Plateau." Thiago replied respectfully.
Suldak nodded slightly. He was looking for the herdsmen in Samp Town, because his pasture was the large grassland around Samp Town.
"Then will you let the horse go?"
"Every Sai Ruoman is the son of the condor. Herding horses is like sucking milk. We know how to do it from the day we are born." Thiago said quickly. He was not a fool. He said this.
My lips were trembling slightly all the time.
"Give him a horse and let him try it." Suldak turned to the entourage behind him and said.
The entourage brought a green-scaled horse with a bad temper. He chose such an untamable green-scaled horse because he wanted to see Tiago's true ability. A good herdsman must be proficient in horse training.
Tiago saw the restless green-scaled horse, its eyes full of caution and keeping away from strangers, and its hoofs as big as the ocean bowl were constantly scratching the rocky ground.
Gu Yao
Thiago let go of his hands and stared at the green-scaled horse intently, approaching step by step.
The green-scaled horse didn't want to communicate with Thiago. It wanted to retreat, but Thiago took this opportunity to utter a series of strange words in his mouth. The green-scaled horse actually swung its tail, and then...
Stopped in place.
Thiago walked forward and stroked the green-scaled horse's neck to calm its irritable mood. The horse was very tall and had no saddle on its back. Tiago hugged the green-scaled horse's neck affectionately with both hands.
, suddenly flipped onto the horse's back, and in this alley, he rode a green-scaled horse without a saddle and wandered around casually.
The brisk pace made him want to jump off the horse.
What a good horse.
Suldak nodded to Thiago and said casually: "I need to organize a group of herdsmen to return to Samp Town to help me herd a group of war horses. I am very optimistic about you. I can give you some travel expenses to settle down, or you can borrow
Your money will allow you to buy some cattle and sheep in Mukuso City, but I need you to raise and herd horses for me. What I need to see in three years is a larger group of high-quality war horses."
Thiago immediately said: "My generous Lord Suldak, Thiago is willing to serve you, as long as you allocate me a pasture in Samp Town on the Sai Ruoman Plateau."
"All the grasslands around Samp Town, I think you should know the boundaries of the grasslands in other towns, right?" Suldak asked Thiago.
"Yes, there are boundary markers on every piece of grass." Thiago replied.
"Okay, that's it! Two days later, I hope you and your people can take the horses and set off from Mukuso City." After Suldak finished speaking, he threw a bag of gold coins to Thiago.
, there was no worry that he would sneak away with this bag of gold coins.
Thiago held the heavy bag of money in his hands and could not come back to his senses until Suldak and his party all walked away from the alley.
It wasn't until his son pushed him gently that he came back to his senses and asked his son in a daze: "Can we return to Samp Town?"
The son nodded sternly, tears almost coming from his eyes.
"Let's go to the livestock market in the city. We have to buy some lambs and bring back some beans and oats. We will have enough food for a while before those lambs grow up. We can't do it without buying more.
"Thiago said hurriedly to his son.
"I heard there's a Watcher's Food Store over there in Thumper Town."
"What's wrong with just hearing about it? Let's go and find out!" Tiago hung the money bag on his waist and said to his son.
That night, the herdsmen living in Mukuso City came to Tiago one after another, hoping to take them back together.
Tiago only chose a dozen herder families who had been following him, and there were less than fifty people in total.
In addition, Surdak also arranged for him ten young herders.
Thiago knew that these herdsmen were watchdogs to prevent him from stealing horses.
With such a large group of horses, if you just secretly sell two of them, you will be able to eat and drink for the rest of your life.
Two days later, Thiago, his family, and a group of herdsmen drove a huge herd of horses and left the city of Mukuso heading north.
When they reached the North Pass, they saw the checkpoint set up on the slope by the knights of the guard camp. They quickly handed over the pass issued by the city hall, and then successfully passed the checkpoint.
Tiago didn't even have time to prepare the customs clearance fee, and the horses passed the checkpoint smoothly.
Riding his horse and stopping at the highest point of the slope of the North Pass, Tiago looked back in the direction of Mukuso City with mixed feelings in his heart.
Seeing the horses walking away, as well as the 300 sheep he bought for fifty gold coins, I felt a little more at ease.
With sheep, there is hope for the future.
It only took Baron Martino three days to draw a plan for the city wall of Mukuso City, including the extension. In the map, the outlet of the sewer waterway was clearly marked. He changed the outlet of the sewer to the south of the city.
, and all of them are near several outlets of the river in Mukusuo City.
Such changes will avoid the problem of serious river pollution in slums in the city.
As for the sewers in the industrial area of Mukuso City, they will be independent and lead directly to the outside of the city.
Suldak was naturally very satisfied with these detailed designs of Baron Martino.
And Baron Martino did not work behind closed doors. These design concepts were based on the classic design of Bena City. Suldak was discussing with Martino the various forks of the main line of Central Avenue. Suldak
Grams wanted more round manhole covers, while Martino preferred square iron fences.
The sewer manhole covers in Suldak are on the ground, while the manhole drainage channels designed by Baron Martino are on both sides of the street, and they are not manhole covers, but iron fences, which look like rectangular dog holes.
.
This kind of inspection opening is very convenient. You only need to remove the iron fence on one side, and people can climb into the sewer.
Suldak thought about it for a long time and finally decided to adopt Baron Martino's design.
The two were very engrossed in the discussion when Thea broke in and reported to Suldak: "The Minister of Logistics and Financial Officer Basil Hooton were arguing again in the city hall."
This is already the fifth red-faced quarrel this month. Suldak is very clear about the reason for the quarrel. The Logistics Department has been responsible for urban reconstruction and repairs, while the Ministry of Finance has the money bag in its hands. Due to the engineering project last month
It has been postponed to this month, resulting in the progress that needs to be completed this month not yet started.
Finance Officer Basil Hooton followed Suldak's instructions and blocked the neck of the Minister of Logistics on the matter of appropriation.
The logistics department director is also very troubled by the foremen in the logistics department who only want money and don't even have any construction plans. However, without them, it will be difficult for the entire city renovation project to continue.
According to the words of Financial Officer Basil Hutton, so much money has been allocated, but no improvement has been seen in the city. Why should I allocate funds? For such a huge waste of logistics department, the city hall
The officials all knew something about it, but everyone stood up and proposed rectifications.
Therefore, as a last resort, Surdak planned to lift this fig leaf with his own hands.
After hearing Siya's report, Suldak knew that Finance Officer Basil Hooton was acting on his own terms and once again blocking the wallet of the Minister of Logistics.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Suldak said to Baron Martino with a solemn expression.
Baron Martino hurriedly followed Suldak and walked towards the conference room of the city hall. In the distance, the sound of quarrels could be heard from the corridor.
The Minister of Logistics led a group of officials in charge of engineering projects and blocked Finance Officer Basil Hooton under a statue in the outer corridor. Dozens of people surrounded Finance Officer Basil Hooton. The woman beside the Finance Officer
The assistant wanted to push a way out, but was torn apart by the group of engineering project officials. In the end, he hid behind Financial Officer Basil Hooton.
"Basil, if you don't pay for it today, you can't leave here."
