Chapter 62 White Bird Chapter 5: The Grass Stealer
After preaching, it’s time to get down to business:
“Currently there are two hundred chickens, ducks and geese here, which is not enough for us to enjoy.
But it doesn’t matter. Have you seen these eggs on the ground?
These eggs are the hope that, given a little time, chickens can lay eggs and chickens, and enough poultry can be produced for everyone to eat.
By then, we will distribute poultry to each household on a per capita basis to ensure that everyone has the most basic ability to be self-sufficient in meat and eggs."
"good!!!!"
People clapped vigorously, like thunder, which was more than a little stronger than before.
Then someone asked:
"But, the city lord, what should I do if I don't have any land to raise the chickens and ducks? They can't be raised freely. This will affect the appearance of the city..."
"There is no need to worry about this. Do you remember my previous promise? I said I would build houses, hospitals, and schools for you.
Therefore, before distributing poultry, I will build a new house for you first. The newly built house will have its own backyard and chicken coop. In short, I will leave a special place for you to raise poultry."
"good!!!!!"
There was another burst of thunderous applause, and the policy was mentioned again, making people realize that the previous promises were not a joke.
"Quiet, quiet everyone, I have something else to say."
He laid his hands and then said after everyone calmed down:
"The promise I made to you will definitely come true, but you also know that the City Lord's Mansion has limited manpower and financial difficulties.
Therefore, those promises cannot be implemented all at once.
After all, you have to eat food one bite at a time and do things one by one.
Therefore, if the implementation of the policy is slow, please understand.
Of course, you don’t need to worry too much.
I promise you, five years, five years at the latest.
All the policies I promised will be realized."
"good!!!!"
"In the end, everything is for my lord Luya, long live Luya, and long live the God of Life."
"Long live Luya!!!!!!"
"Long live the God of Life!!!!!"
For a time, the entire breeding farm resounded with this loud slogan.
The sound was deafening and resounded throughout the city.
Dole, who was at the door of the breeding farm, was speechless for a while and muttered in a low voice:
"It's like a cult..."
——
——
The farm has tentatively arranged it. Old John has found dozens of residents to work at the farm, and has them be responsible for hatching poultry eggs, as well as providing daily security.
There is no need to worry about the feed, because the expansion speed of those grasses is indeed outrageous, and I believe it will be overrun soon.
——
At dusk, Bai Yiluya and Heimu walked on the city wall.
Looking at the large piece of grass in the distance, Kuroki sighed:
"What's the word? Um... destroying the ecological balance? Is it okay to let the grass grow like this?"
"Even if it is destroyed, how far can it be destroyed?"
Bai Yi disagreed:
"There is nothing in this world of ice and snow, not even a few trees. Even if there are any, the bark has been chewed up and they are all dead trees.
In this harsh environment, the proliferation of herbivores brings vitality rather than destroying the balance."
"How to say?"
“Where there are grasses, there are insects, and where there are insects there are birds, and then there are other herbivores, such as rabbits and mice.
Faced with this endless amount of food, their number will definitely increase rapidly.
That’s not a bad thing for us.”
"I see."
A few days passed after that, and the area of the grassland doubled again.
Gradually I can no longer even see the edge.
But during the growth process, Baicheng people also discovered the natural enemies of this grass.
On the territorial border between humans and demons.
There is a glacier.
On this side of the glacier is the White City, and on the other side is the Black Forest.
When the herbivores grow to the edge of the glacier, they stop growing.
Even though the glacier was covered with a layer of snow, the grass could not grow across it at all.
Based on this experience, the Baicheng people realized that this herbivore would only grow in a special environment with soil below and snow above.
And both are indispensable.
No, the grass that has grown wildly these days has spread towards the city.
If it is not controlled, it will definitely cause major erosion to the buildings in the city.
So Old John led people to dig a deep ditch around Baicheng, and poured water and ice into the ditch to prevent it from spreading.
——
Everything is going well for the breeding farm and it is actually prospering.
But there is no clue about the loan of 500,000 yuan.
Bai Yi originally wanted to borrow more money. He wanted to take out a large loan at once and deal with other aspects of Baicheng.
For example, building city walls and rebuilding residential buildings.
I want to solve all the problems at once.
——
But this will definitely result in owing a huge sum of money.
Bai Yi is worried that he won't be able to get there by then.
So I don’t dare to visit the bird dealer for the time being.
——
In the evening of that day, Bai Yi and Luya Heimu went for a walk on the city wall again.
The two were discussing so-called ways to make money.
"It really doesn't work... How about we go back to the palace? Let's find a way to rob the palace's treasury."
However, Bai Yi did not agree and just shook his head:
"Unless those brave men are just for free, this is no different from committing suicide. Not to mention, Baicheng is still too weak now. If the palace targets them and sends troops to attack them, it will not be a joke."
"That's true, but where else can we make money besides the palace..."
The two looked confusedly at the endless field of white grass.
Suddenly, a burst of movement attracted them.
"stop!!!"
A few residents who were mowing the grass seemed to have discovered something.
Then, he chased after him with his sickle in hand.
If you look closely, you can see a dark figure moving quickly in the field.
He was very fast and headed straight towards the black forest.
Not long after, they rushed out of the grassland and arrived above the glacier at the border.
Taking a closer look, he turned out to be a little boy with the head of a sheep and the body of a man.
——Typical demon demi-human.
——
The boy rolled and crawled towards the other side of the river, holding a handful of grass in his arms and chewing it non-stop.
Finally, he crossed the river and climbed to the shore. Looking back, fortunately, like the previous times, the city residents had not caught up with him.
——
"Goat tribe?" Bai asked.
"Well, he looks about ten years old."
"Is such a bitter grass worth stealing?"
"After all, he is a sheep, and his taste is different from ours. Maybe it is a delicacy in his mouth?"
"Does this happen a lot?"
"They happen almost every day. Fortunately, they only steal grass and don't hurt anyone. I see how pitiful they are, so I don't let our people take action. I usually just drive them away."
"You are doing the right thing. It would be bad if there is a conflict. If you have a chance, see if you can talk to them. If you can't afford it, you can still have some business contacts."
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
The two of them chatted wordlessly.
"Death doctor, death doctor, express delivery, express delivery!!!"
Unexpectedly, a crow as big as a swan flew directly from high in the sky.
