9. Reclaim wasteland

 No one knows when No. 1 and No. 2 came back, but when they got up early they saw them still standing on the city wall.

Early the next morning, Ono released numerous flying cameras the size of mosquitoes, flying in all directions to explore unknown maps.

People are getting up one after another.

They were particular about getting some water and wiping their faces, and those who were used to fleeing went straight out. The men put on their clothes and went to the city gate to wait. Women with children tied their babies behind their backs with cloth, so that they could work without delaying taking care of their children.

Gathering place at the city gate.

As the sky gets brighter, more and more people gather. Wei Zhou and Yuan You arrive together.

The slaves were sitting or standing. They knew they were not welcome and kept distance from the crowd.

Everyone stood in confusion, looking forward to it.

"Everyone has worked hard to open up wasteland today." Yuan You stood up and spoke. "The new city lord is kind-hearted and understands that it is not easy for the slaves to work in shackles. I have given an order to remove the shackles. Slaves, please stand up and take off the shackles."

It’s great work.”

Everyone was stunned.

The slaves couldn't believe it. They had been shackled since birth and had no idea what freedom was like.

Leng Yi took the lead and stood up first.

Wei Zhou nodded with satisfaction and motioned to the soldiers beside him. Two soldiers stepped forward and opened the shackles.

The molds for shackles are universal, but the keys are pretty much the same.

If it doesn't work once, you can always open it after trying a few times.

The shackles were removed and the soldiers put them away.

Leng Yi felt that his hands and feet had never felt so relaxed. It turned out that the shackles were such heavy things.

Freedom was so wonderful that he was at a loss as to what to do. His body was not used to it, and he almost fell to one side when moving.

"Don't take up space. Next one." The soldier pushed Leng Yi aside. Immediately, slaves came over and they lined up consciously.

Finally it was Fang Youan’s turn.

Wei Zhou and Yuan You were surprised. They were supposed to be the servants in the city lord's courtyard, but they didn't have to come.

But when people come, they won’t say anything.

When a pair of shackles were removed, some people cried with joy, while others stood there in a daze. Never did they think that one day they would be able to remove the shackles.

The hands, feet, and body are so relaxed and relaxed, like a new life.

"The city lord is merciful, and you have to work hard in return." Yuanyou reminded, observing them calmly.

Although he asked for grace, he didn't want anyone to be ungrateful. If he was really ungrateful, he could only expel them.

"Thank you City Lord for releasing us. We will work hard and repay you. Thank you City Lord, thank you City Lord..."

The slaves were very excited as they thanked each other.

Yuanyou didn't see anyone with a wrong expression, so he nodded happily. He was quite sensible.

"It's quite lively." Zhu Qinghong, who was wearing a red dress, came over. Everyone looked over and were instantly stunned.

Her black hair was pulled up and her hair was styled into a bun.

The red and green hairband hangs down from the back of her head, fluttering and dancing when the wind blows. A strand of hair hangs from the temples, adding a touch of tenderness to her flamboyant beauty. The green top and red skirt have complicated and exquisite dark patterns.

The tassel accessories around her waist collide with her movements, creating a different kind of beauty. With perfect makeup and gorgeous jewelry, it is no exaggeration to say that she is a fairy in the sky. Zhu Qinghong's beautiful eyes are so suffocating.

Her red lips were slightly raised, and her smile was like a hundred flowers in bloom.

"See the city lord." Yuanyou was the first to respond.

Wei Zhou immediately came to his senses and bowed his head in salute.

Then the soldiers and the people.

Fang Youan knelt down to salute and shouted to the city lord.

The slaves followed suit.

The people hesitated for a moment, then followed the crowd and knelt down.

"Meet the City Lord" in unison, which is what people want.

Zhu Qinghong smiled and raised his hand: "Get up. Military Advisor Yuan, leave the city."

"Yes." Yuanyou looked at Wei Zhou.

Wei Zhou immediately asked the soldiers to open the city gate.

The people stood up one after another and got out of the way.

The city gate slowly opened, and Zhu Qinghong was the first to walk out. Yuanyou and Wei Zhou followed, followed by the common people.

Except for the soldiers who were standing guard, everyone left the city in a mighty manner. Zhu Qinghong came to the forest where he lived that night. The terrain was flat and endless as far as the eye could see. The space door opened, and a cylindrical robot wearing a doctor's hat appeared.

It spits out a piece of paper with a floor plan.

Yuanyou took it and looked at it with Wei Zhou, wondering why.

Zhu Qinghong turned around: "Come here empty-handed, do you want to open up wasteland by hand?"

Some people have done work and carried hoes.

Some people looked at each other and immediately turned back to the city to get tools. Zhu Qinghong waved to the man with the hoe to come forward.

She turned the paper in Yuanyou's hand: "Hold it upside down. This is the farmland planning and design drawing."

Looking at their expressions, Zhu Qinghong knew whether they understood or not.

The doctor's hat robot rolls on the ground and draws a straight line.

[Plough the ground within the line for planting. A group of three people must dig at least three times before planting. Please act as soon as possible.]

The three people with hoes immediately went over and swung the hoes. One hoe after another, the soil was so tight that it made their hands numb.

In order to survive, this little hardship is nothing.

They continued digging without saying a word. The division of labor among the three was clear, and one person was responsible for digging once. After digging a piece of land, they exchanged order. After all, the person who dug the first time suffered, and no one took advantage of the other in the rotation.<

/p>

Zhu Qinghong had a good impression of these three people and specifically asked their names. Lin Mu, Tian Wei, Fang Ye, local people in Tianchong City.

They are neighbors and good at work. Since the farmland was destroyed, they have become soldiers to protect their families.

She nodded and gave them certain authority to manage some people. Let's call them group leaders.

After all, you have the ability and you can’t bury it.

Others brought tools and started working under Wei Zhou's command. Some people had never done it before. Lin Mu, Tian Wei, and Fang Ye were responsible for teaching. It is not a difficult task. Practice makes perfect. After learning, all that is left is to work hard.

If you are lazy, you will be looked down upon by everyone.

It’s very tiring and bitter, but everyone feels very sweet.

They know that digging the ground is not for others, but just to fill their stomachs.

Serve lunch at noon.

Everyone queued up to the city gate to get food, each of them got a thick steamed bun and a bowl of white porridge. They had been busy all morning, and their stomachs were already growling with hunger. Everyone devoured the food without fear of choking.

After eating, I licked my bowl clean one by one. I was not full.

Women with children should first feed them gruel.

Chew the steamed buns by yourself and drink some soup.

Zhu Qinghong was deeply impressed by her.

She worked hard and did not make any demands for taking care of her children. The tough woman was lovable, but Zhu Qinghong did not give any special treatment.

After lunch, we started digging again.

No. 1 and No. 2 escorted the escort, but there were demons intruding during the period, and they were all beaten away.

From the beginning, the people were trembling with fear, but in the end they concentrated on their work. Numbers 1 and 2 gave them an unprecedented sense of security.

It was getting dark, and everyone slowly returned to the city.

Only one meal was provided a day, and they drank water or passed by if they were hungry at night. They endured hunger and looked forward to eating at noon tomorrow. If they want to harvest enough food, they must cultivate a lot of wasteland.

These days they do more than dig the ground.

More and more land was dug out, and the food in the granary became less and less. Yuanyou was so anxious that he swallowed it back every time he opened his mouth.

The flying camera sent back a lot of pictures, and I found a small river in the south. Follow the river up, and there is a river.

The creek is a branch of the river, and the water source is guaranteed. Even if the water source is found, it is not easy to draw it over.

The distance is a bit far, and there are a lot of demons along the way. The demons also need to eat, drink, and defecate, so they naturally gather more near the water source.

Zhu Qinghong placed a map on his desk after exploration. There was a river in the south and a city in the north.

It’s bigger than Tian Chong City.

There are forests in the west and big country in the east. The forest is in better condition than here, at least it looks lush and green.

When Yuanyou entered, he saw Zhu Qinghong staring at the table in a daze. Zhu Qinghong waved: "Do you know what's going on in the woods to the west?"

He went over and was surprised by the vastness shown on the map.

Yuanyou scanned the map and answered: "I read about it in the book, the Forest of Demons."

With just one name, you can probably tell what the forest is like. It's a demon's lair, no wonder the flying camera is folded inside.

Zhu Qinghong pointed to the river in the south: "If you want to irrigate the fields, you must have sufficient water sources. Although there are many demons here, it is not impossible to operate. But we currently have insufficient manpower. Even if there is no demon interference, we cannot divert the river water."

[Master, Ono can bring water. Bury pipes underground so they won’t be damaged. It’s safe and secure.]

Ignoring Ono, Zhu Qinghong continued: "So this water source is just for registration. After all, we still have well water for drinking."

Yuanyou looked up at her, his calm eyes said everything. He handed over his hand: "The reclamation of wasteland is going very smoothly. When will the seeds be sown?"

"Tomorrow." Zhu Qinghong put away the map and said, "Divide the people into two parts. Continue to dig the ground and sow seeds at the same time."

"Yes. I'll do it immediately." Yuanyou bowed and left.

Zhu Qinghong smiled, knowing that Yuanyou understood what she meant.

[Master, as long as you put on the mecha and buy time. Ono promises to bring the water. Why not?]

"Xiao Ye, people will only cherish what they get with difficulty." Zhu Qinghong stood up, "We have done everything, what use do these subordinates have? I give them a goal and let them do their best to complete it. The fruits picked with hard work are the most valuable.

Sweet."

No matter how many years it takes, she has patience.

Zhu Qinghong hopes to see people use their wisdom and labor to do what they can.

Instead of relying on her everywhere. Knowing that she cares about water, I really look forward to what Wonwoo will do.

Wei Zhou happened to enter the mansion and was surprised to see Yuan You looking so distracted.

He asked: "What happened?"

"General Wei, there is a river to the south." Yuanyou sighed, "It is an indispensable water source for us. However, demons block the road and it is difficult to get there. How do you think we can bring the water? How many years will it take to achieve it?



"Diverting water from the demon's eyes?" Wei Zhou was shocked, "You are too whimsical. It's impossible."

Yuanyou looked directly at Wei Zhou: "Is it really impossible? General Wei, any great thing is just a fantasy before it succeeds."

Once successful, it is a feat. Diverting water sources and benefiting future generations will be of great benefit to the future.

They must do it and do it well.

"Are you serious?" Wei Zhou said helplessly, "Do you know that we don't even know where the food for next month is? Rather than thinking about the water source that is out of reach, look at what's in front of us. First think of ways to get food and fill it up.

Everyone’s belly.”

"Yes. You are right." Yuanyou handed over his hands, then turned and left.

Wei Zhou was confused, what to do with food...

Yuanyou returned home and sat at the table in a daze.

He turned to look at the mechanical bird on his shoulder and touched its eyes with his hand. The next moment, Yuanyou entered a place full of books.

As soon as he thought, countless books flew over.

Yuanyou caught a copy and read it carefully.
