Chapter four hundred and thirty sixth you don't mess around
Ange has no interest in the city lord or anything like that. If it weren’t for the silver coins that said he could sell the vegetables, he wouldn’t be too lazy to do these things. However, he is very interested in grabbing a piece of fertile land to grow vegetables, and his eyes are shining.
Can't wait.
However, Feiwo was stunned for a while and then said with a wry smile: "If there was fertile land, our place wouldn't be called a desert. Two mountain ranges isolate the abundant water vapor in the south, resulting in long-term drought and little rain. The only river in the territory is
It's a sand river flowing down from the mountains, all the way to Shenyun Town."
"Both sides of the Shah River are the main planting areas, but they are not fertile at all. The food in the city is mainly purchased from outside. If you want land, just go to the city lord's mansion to buy it. It is very cheap. There are many wastelands that no one wants."
…
At the City Lord's Mansion, he spent 50,000 magic crystals with silver coins to buy all the wasteland on both sides of the Shah River from Beifeng City to Shenyun Town, with an average of one gold coin per acre, a total of 500,000 acres.
Although this price is cheap, it is not cheap at all. After all, it is just wasteland. It is crazy to sell it for one gold coin per acre.
But it is absolutely impossible to buy it in normal times, because it would be equivalent to enclosing both sides of the Shah River. Even if it is wasteland, isn't there still a river?
But the Beifeng family is already planning to run away. They don't care how much trouble it will bring to the rulers behind them by selling it like this. It may or may not be troublesome. After all, it is just wasteland, but no matter what, it has nothing to do with them. It can be sold.
Fifty thousand is fifty thousand.
"Then we can't wait until the city owner wins the bid before buying it?" Nigris asked in confusion.
Yin Coin and Feiwo shook their heads together: "No, no, no, if you buy it now, it will be the problem of the 'previous government'. There will be a lot of room for wrangling. We will buy it after we become the city lords. It will not be easy to shirk responsibility when problems occur.
.”
Nigris was stunned for a while and murmured: "That makes sense, you black-hearted profiteers and politicians."
Du Luoken also sneered: "Weak people are cautious and take it as soon as they take it. Does anyone dare to come and take our territory? Silver coins, what is your status now? You are no longer an ordinary person. You can be appropriately cautious, but it is not necessary."
Excessive caution.”
Yin Coin blinked blankly, what is his identity?
Poor goblin businessman, to this day, he still has not adapted to his identity as the god of profiteers.
Seeing his expression, Duroken knew that it was all in vain, and said angrily: "Forget it, just follow your own ideas, and then leave the alchemy and forging to me."
.”
When a person's thinking is solidified, his behavior patterns and ways of thinking will follow fixed habits. Once he goes beyond this habit, he will be at a loss as to what to do, or even unable to proceed...
Silver coins are the thinking of a businessman. Do big things with small costs, pursue profits, and take risks to pursue excess profits. If you let him get used to a new identity and use force to pressure others, he will not get used to it.
…
Walking along the Shahe River towards Shenyun Town, Ange happily held a stick and followed the officials sent by the city lord's palace to measure the points and draw a dotted line. The land within the dotted line belonged to him.
As Nigris said, everyone has a different understanding of barrenness and fertility. Ange can grow things even in places like deserts, let alone deserts. It just depends on the cost of transformation.
In Ange's eyes, this kind of desert soil is very fertile. Even without improvement, he can still grow some special crops. The only thing that needs to be solved is the lack of water. No matter how special the crops are, it is impossible to water them at all.
.
Along the way, Ange was thinking about this problem.
The official sent by the city lord's palace to measure the land was named Jimmy. He was respectful and very cooperative along the way. Occasionally, Ange inserted the stick in the wrong position, adding dozens of acres of land, but he pretended not to see it.
Naturally, no one disliked such a "good" guy. Nigris even chatted with him: "Jimmy, thank you for your hard work. Is there any subsidy for you to go out in the field like this?"
Jimmy smiled bitterly: "There is no subsidy, but you can get some black bread to eat on the road."
"Uh, that's it?" Nigris was stunned.
Jimmy smiled bitterly and said: "It's pretty good. At least I can eat enough. I took a few more. If I go back early, I can take the saved bread home to feed the children."
Nigris blinked: "What do you mean? Is your family already running out of food?"
Jimmy shook his head: "Not yet. The salary and rations distributed from above are barely enough to eat, but the children are growing taller and eating more, and they are always not full. Alas, we are relatively good, but those civilians are really miserable.
, many have run out of food.”
"Alas..." Nigris also sighed.
They have known about the lack of food in the city for a long time, but they can't do anything now. If Ange's body is here, the elf beans in the Palace of Rest are enough for the people in the city to eat.
But it's a pity that Ange can only grab a handful of hundreds of pills every 20 minutes. Even if he keeps grabbing 24 hours a day, he can't save everyone.
In fact, there is no real food shortage in the city. For example, powerful people such as the Marquis of Fevod have dozens of tons of food stored in each family. There are also grain merchants' associations, major guilds, big businessmen, etc., who all have food stored in them.
.
As long as they are willing to contribute, the food problem will be solved immediately.
However, under the current situation, it is too difficult for them to show kindness. Only after Yin Coin takes over the position of city lord and gains power can the situation be changed.
"It's so pitiful, Ji Li, Ji Li! Zubada, why are you running so fast!" When Nigris turned around to call Ji Li, he found that she had already run away with the bag in her hands.
At this time, a large drop appeared in the Shahe River in front, and the steps dropped rapidly for more than ten meters, forming dozens of small waterfalls.
After this passage, the Shahe River turned a big bend and flowed south to Shenyun Town.
Ange suddenly stopped here and looked around at the distance. Then he jumped up and looked in the direction of Beifeng City. He kept looking like this for a long time.
"What are you looking at?" Negris asked in confusion. It felt some fluctuations of divine power in Ange. No need to think about it, this guy was using his magical skills again.
But there is no way to project magical skills. The only magical skill that can be used on the body and work here is the ring of scales. Is this dead skeleton using the ring of scales to measure something?
Ange pointed at the gap, then pointed in the direction of Beifeng City and said: "If it's flat, build a dam, raise the water level, and water the fields."
"Uh, you mean, the height here is the same as the height of Beifeng City? Do you want to build a dam here to raise the water level to water your fields?" Negris asked.
Ange nodded.
Nigris flew up, observed the terrain, and calculated silently in his mind. He had to admit that this was a feasible and reasonable plan. The only problem was that the amount of work was too large.
The amount of work is too large? Ange tilted his head.
When Nigris saw this, his heart skipped a beat: "What else do you have in mind? Tell us first and let's discuss it. Don't mess around."
PS: I’m still coding, I think I won’t be able to make it in time, I’ll update it in the early morning.
