When there is no river nearby, there are only two sources of water: groundwater and rainfall. The seeds haven't been planted yet, so what kind of rain will it rain? Just as she was thinking, a tile fell down.
It hit the ground with a "pop" and broke into pieces.
"..."
What kind of city lord's mansion is it? It's better to live in your own villa. Zhu Qinghong raised his forehead and said: "Ono, merge with the city lord's mansion."
[Yes, Master. The villa and the city lord's mansion are integrated, the integration progress is 10%, 20%, 30%...]
Ono separated a ball of light, which scattered in all directions and merged into the building. Visible to the naked eye, the entire city lord's mansion underwent earth-shaking changes.
There is something drilled into the walls and pillars.
The tiles are tumbling and the eaves are high.
The broken parts were repaired and the pattern changed.
The blue glazed tiles are shining.
The gable-style roof with double eaves is majestic.
The animals on the corners of the eaves are lifelike, and the copper bells under the eaves swing in the wind. The white marble steps and the pillars with carved phoenixes. Every step of the way makes people stop and watch, and forget to leave.
Wait until Ono prompts the fusion to reach 100%.
The city lord's mansion has a new look.
The gate is brand new, and a pair of stone lions have round eyes and are majestic.
There is not a single yellow weed anywhere, only vibrant vitality and unparalleled beauty.
Yuanyou came out of the grain depot and was stunned.
He was not sure about going back to the grain depot and coming out again. Even if he rubbed his eyes, the scene in front of him did not change.
Really? Yuanyou looked carefully and found that even the building of the grain depot had been renovated.
I think only the new city lord can do this.
He was speechless all the way back to the main hall.
There are many scenery that he has never seen before, including rockeries, ponds, carved beams and painted buildings.
When the sky darkens, the palace lanterns in the corridor light up automatically. They are not dim like candles, but very bright, just like daytime.
Yuanyou walked into the main hall, the lights were brightly lit, and there seemed to be no darkness at all. Zhu Qinghong smiled and raised his hand: "Come over and have a meal together."
After all, my subordinates had been busy all day, so it was a bit harsh not to give them food. Four robotic arms hung from the roof and placed two dishes and one soup on the low table.
There are futons placed behind the low tables, one for each person.
Yuanyou was surprised and walked over, looking at the food in front of him without daring to move.
Zhu Qinghong is sitting on the main seat. The long table is made of mahogany and has hollow carvings of peonies and phoenixes on the sides.
She ate quietly.
After calming down for a long time, Yuanyou picked up the bowl and picked up the chopsticks to taste the green vegetables. Appropriate oil and salt, minced garlic to enhance the flavor, and the entrance is sweet.
It turns out that as long as you put in the effort, vegetables can be delicious. Yuanyou ate vegetables with rice, his eyes became wet and his throat became choked with sobs.
"City Lord." Tears in his eyes fell into the bowl, "Will everyone be able to eat such delicious food in the future?"
Zhu Qinghong smiled: "Of course, there are more delicious ones. Don't just eat vegetables, eat meat as well. Don't waste food."
"If you don't waste it, I will never waste it." Yuanyou wiped away his tears with his sleeves and finished a bowl of rice without touching the plate of braised pork.
She was helpless.
He looked up and said a little embarrassedly: "Can I take this plate of meat away and share it with everyone?"
"It's up to you." Zhu Qinghong waved her hand. The demon can't eat it, so she might have to get some livestock to raise.
Yuanyou bowed deeply with joy and carefully went out while protecting the plate with both hands.
Zhu Qinghong smiled and continued eating.
The corridor is bright.
Yuanyou hid the plate in his arms and mysteriously asked a soldier to call everyone. The soldier took the order, turned around and quickly called everyone, including Fang Youan, who had just entered the house.
When everyone arrived, Yuanyou smiled and took out the plates.
"Meat!" Everyone's eyes were shining, and their mouths were watering. They hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
"Don't worry, everyone has a share." Yuanyou counted the amount of braised pork and saw that one piece was not enough for each person.
He asked people to go to the kitchen to get kitchen knives, and a group of people squatted in the corridor to divide the meat and eat it. Regardless of whether they were fat or thin, they put each one in their mouths and were reluctant to swallow it.
Fang Youan knew what meat tasted like for the first time.
It tastes so good that I want to swallow it, even if I die right now, it’s worth it.
"This plate of meat was rewarded by the city lord." Yuanyou generously handed the empty plate out and let them lick the juice, "Do your job well, the city lord will not be indebted to you. The city lord has ordered us to open up wasteland tomorrow, and eldest brother No. 1 and eldest brother No. 2 will escort us.
Don’t be afraid of monsters.”
"Really? That's great!" The soldiers were all beaming with joy. They opened up wasteland and planted food. If there is a harvest, they will not go hungry again.
"So tomorrow, except for those on duty, everyone will work on the farm for me." Yuanyou slapped the soldier on the head, "If you are lazy, you will have nothing to eat."
"Opening up wasteland is a great thing. Anyone who dares to be lazy will be the first to be kicked to death! We will watch and chase those who are sneaky and naughty!"
"Yes! Drive us out! It's hard to find a good city lord and lead us to live a good life. We can't let the city lord feel cold."
The soldiers were all impassioned and had another kind of awe for the new city lord. Fear based on strength, and respect full of hope.
"Return the bowl. Do you want to keep the city lord's things privately?" Yuanyou stretched out his hand towards a soldier.
The man smiled and took out the bowl in his arms.
They have never seen such flawless white porcelain. Common people mostly use pottery bowls. They will never use such a good thing once in their lives.
"My eyelids are so shallow. If you follow the city lord, you will inevitably have these good things in the future." Yuanyou said seriously, "There is still meat to eat."
"Yes, there is meat to eat." Everyone nodded seriously.
From beginning to end, they were squatting in the corridor, without any image.
The palace lantern in the corridor is still bright.
In the main hall, Ono projected a scene on the corridor, Zhu Qinghong watched it while eating.
"Obviously he asked for the reward himself, but he gave me the credit." Zhu Qinghong finished his meal and put down the bowl, "It's really interesting."
[Master, the water source detector has been released. There is not much groundwater here, and it cannot meet the drinking needs of the entire city. Nowadays, several wells in the city are drying up. Based on environmental calculations, it should be caused by the lack of rain for a long time.
】
"Is it going to rain?" Zhu Qinghong drank lemonade, "Calculate the weather to see when it is suitable for artificial rainfall."
[Yes, Master. To revitalize the entire city, a fixed water source is needed. Do you want to send flying cameras to search for rivers?]
Zhu Qinghong turned off the screen projection: "With Tianchong City as the center, flying cameras will be sent in all directions to explore the nearby map."
[Okay. Master, please choose seeds to open up wasteland tomorrow. Ono suggests planting corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are filling and relatively drought-resistant. Zhu Qinghong accepted the suggestion and decided on these three seeds.
As soon as the place was settled, Yuanyou came over to return the bowl.
He respectfully put the bowl on the table and began to report the amount of grain in the granary.
"After taking in refugees and slaves, the number of people in our city is close to 700." Yuanyou handed over the recorded book. "There is not much food in the storehouse. Even if everyone only eats one meal a day, there will not be enough food in a month. There is too much time.
If it’s too short, we won’t be able to harvest the food.”
Zhu Qinghong looked at the booklet that recorded the grain in detail. The type and weight were clear at a glance.
She nodded: "I have my own way."
The city lord said so.
Yuanyou was relieved: "There is one more thing. City Lord, have the slaves' shackles been opened?"
"How can you work if you don't open it?" Zhu Qinghong wondered. How much work can you do while wearing shackles?
Totally reduces workload.
Yuanyou knelt down and said with respect in his eyes: "Thank you City Lord for your grace. Slaves have been shackled since birth and may never be able to take them off in their lifetime. City Lord is compassionate and allows them to take off their shackles and become citizens. I thank the City Lord on behalf of the slaves."
Yes."
Zhu Qinghong smiled at Yuan You and didn't care about his little scheme. To the outside world, he probably wouldn't say that it was the grace he had asked for, but that the city lord was very kind. Such a good minister always wanted to win the hearts of his master.
Don’t be greedy for a little merit, don’t seek a little profit.
What a great talent.
Zhu Qinghong looked satisfied: "Xiao Ye, give him a mechanical bird. Military Master Yuan, don't live up to my expectations."
A sparrow-like bird flew out of thin air and landed on Yuanyou's shoulder. It tilted its head and looked so vivid that no one could tell it was a machine.
"Through this bird, you can talk to me at any time no matter where you are." Zhu Qinghong stood up and stepped forward to help Yuan You up. "After the land reclamation is completed, I will transfer No. 1 to you as a guard. Take good care of yourself and watch me realize your dream with your own eyes.
A scene from a dream."
"City Lord..." Yuanyou was flattered.
The scene in the dream is that the food is abundant, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the people are at home.
His eyes were hot.
If he could really see that scene, he would not hesitate to die. Even if it meant mountains of swords and seas of fire, he would be willing to go there.
Zhu Qinghong patted Yuanyou on the shoulder: "After the land reclamation is over, women and men will be separated. Men will build cities and women will weave and sew clothes. I don't want to see the people under my rule in ragged clothes. How to arrange the specific arrangements? Please take the time to draw up one."
The charter comes out."
"Yes." Yuanyou accepted the order.
When monsters are no longer a threat, as long as they work hard, they can survive.
"The houses in the city are well planned, and who lives in which house must be fixed." Zhu Qinghong walked to the door, "The weather has not been too cold recently, let them endure it for now. After this most difficult period, they will be fine in the future. Please go more often.
Go and appease people's hearts."
"Yuan's duty is hard, and I dare not call it hard work." Yuan You bowed to Zhu Qinghong, "The city lord has long-term thinking, which is beyond my ability."
Very good at flattering.
Zhu Qinghong smiled slyly: "Since you know that your knowledge is limited, you should read more. The mechanical bird has the function of querying information and stores many books. In your spare time, you can read more and increase your knowledge. Enrich yourself and benefit more people."
"Yes." Yuanyou couldn't help but look at the dumb bird on his shoulder.
He needs books and knowledge very much.
He has limited knowledge and is trapped in a city.
If you can learn more, you can better assist the city lord. Let Tianchong City become rich as soon as possible, so that everyone no longer has to starve.
"I will go to open up wasteland together tomorrow." Zhu Qinghong looked at the moon in the sky, "You have been busy all day, go down and rest."
Yuanyou bowed and stepped back.
A lot happened to him on this day.
The city lord dies and a new city lord takes the throne.
Demons attack the city and shelter the people.
When he returned home, he did not go to bed immediately, but lit the oil lamp and wrote the regulations. If he met the Lord, he would live up to his trust.
In the city.
Refugees and slaves are looking for a place to live. There are many vacant houses in Tianchong City, and they are picking and choosing.
There are no damages and there are beddings.
After choosing a room, they lay down smelling the musty smell. They had never felt so at ease, the silence was beautiful.
Although I am hungry, I can endure it and get over it.
I have long been accustomed to the feeling of hunger, but now it is just ordinary.
I heard that tomorrow we will open up wasteland to provide food, and if there is food, they can do whatever they want. With food and sleep, their pursuit in this life is extremely simple. For them, this is happiness.
On the city wall.
The soldiers on duty yawned. Seeing the tall No. 1 and No. 2, they felt very safe.
Number 1 and Number 2 suddenly raised their heads, staring straight ahead. Then they jumped off the city wall and rushed into the night.
