Jia Zhengjin came out of the residential building and first took a look at the open space in the city.
The kobold craftsmen are under the command of Dolma, building a house to live in according to his ideas. Wolf and Karl are helping beside them, and the group of people is busy.
Jia Zhengjin was not prepared to disturb them, so he went to other places to inspect.
The mines in the city have almost been mined. At this moment, the villagers and miners are wielding iron pickaxes for final processing. At the same time, some people use simple carts and burdens to transport the ore to the warehouse area.
"Lord Keen!" Seeing Jia Zhengjin coming to inspect, the villagers and miners stopped their movements one after another, "When the mining here is completed, shall we also go to work in the new mine?"
When villagers mine, Jia Zhengjin has to pay them wages. This is quite rare in other places.
Basically, miners in other cities or countries have semi-forced or completely forced work. Either defeated and captured soldiers are driven to mine, or the people are forced to work in the form of corvee. For those who
For miners, they are very happy to have a full meal.
And here Jia Zhengjin not only eats well every day, with plenty of fish and meat, but also gets a salary of one gold coin every two months, which is a great benefit! So what the miners fear most is not having a job, because they also know that basic
The kobold miners hired by Master En can mine hard every day as long as they have meat to eat, without paying a dime at all. The villagers are hired to mine just to take care of these people who only know how to mine.
Therefore, after the established mine is hollowed out, the villagers will worry that such good days will no longer exist!
Jia Zhengjin knew their worries, so he said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, the most indispensable thing in the World of Warcraft Forest is minerals! I will soon expand the city wall outwards, and it will include more mining areas. You don't need anything.
I think you are indispensable for mining work!"
After hearing Jia Zhengjin's words, the miners immediately burst into cheers of joy. Everyone shouted "Long live Lord Keen!" and worked harder.
Leave the mine and walk near the farmland.
The villagers led by Bolint sowed and reaped. Crops with a short growth cycle allowed them to grow whatever they wanted without having to think too much.
Even now, many farmers eat enough vegetables and fruits at home, and they have begun to plant plants similar to cotton. They take the harvested "cotton" fruits home and give them to their wives and daughters. Then the women use the simplest
Hand looms are used to weave and make common fabrics.
It's just that this textile technique is very old and very inefficient. It usually takes at least half a month to a month to make a piece of cloth.
It's a pity that Jia Zhengjin has not unlocked the Science and Technology Research Institute yet, otherwise he could have made a textile machine first. If there was a textile machine, basically a piece of cloth could be made in less than a day, and the efficiency would increase very quickly!
Just as he was thinking about it, an older villager came over and said, "Lord Keen!"
"Hello!" Jia Zhengjin was quite polite to the elderly.
"Hey~~ I am getting older and older, and my waist is a bit too much." The old villager sighed, beating his back, "Obviously Master Keen gave us such good farmland, but I can't even water it. It's really right.
Can’t stand it any longer!”
"Don't you have any other family members?" Jia Zhengjin asked. He still didn't fully know these thousands of villagers.
"Hey! I only have a 5-year-old granddaughter, and she can't help!" the old villager sighed.
"What about the child's parents?"
"Dead! A long time ago, when I was collecting wild fruits outside the World of Warcraft Forest, I was eaten by wild beasts!" There were faint tears in the eyes of the old villager.
"My condolences!" What could Jia Zhengjin say? He could only comfort him.
The villagers working in the farmland also saw Jia Zhengjin one after another, so they gathered to say hello.
Amber's father, Old Harlem, looked at the poor old villager and said, "Old Albato is quite pitiful. Although we can occasionally help him carry water, we can't help all the time because everyone
I have my own farmland to take care of.”
"Hmm~~ I didn't consider this!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "If the time comes, I will arrange for some kobolds to come and help. What do you think?"
"Lord Keen, of course we are happy to have kobolds to help. However, kobolds only listen to your orders. I am afraid that when the time comes to implement them, not only will they not be able to help, but they will cause trouble!" Bolint said.
Regarding his father-in-law's words, Jia Zhengjin thought it was reasonable: "How about I ask the town guards to come over and help after practicing?"
"That won't work!" Old Harlin said, "The town guards are responsible for the safety of our city, and they should be given enough rest after practicing. In fact, I think that if we can solve the water problem, basically everything will be solved!
What everyone finds most tiring now is that they always have to go to the river to fetch water. Those of us who have a lot of strength can say that, but many of them are in poor health like Albato, and it is too hard for them!
"
"yes!"
“It’s just tiring to fetch water!”
The villagers all agreed.
"Fetch water?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
Although there are currently no unlocked machine tools, it cannot produce precision parts such as faucets and water pipes. But it doesn’t seem to be difficult to find replacements, right?
He remembered that there seemed to be an alien plant similar to bamboo near the city, which was called the hollow tree by the locals. This kind of thing was very similar to bamboo. The trunk was hollow in the middle and was quite strong.
He immediately said: "Anyone who has the strength, go to the public warehouse to get a stone axe, and follow me out of the city! I will help you get a water diversion device!"
"Okay!!" After hearing this, the villagers were all eager to try. Those with better physiques all ran to the warehouse to get stone axes, and then gathered in front of Jia Zhengjin.
Jia Zhengjin led these villagers outside the city and found a location with a lot of empty trees. Then he ordered them to start cutting down the trees. With the strength of the people, they quickly collected a large number of empty trees and carried them back to the city.
Based on his memory, Jia Zhengjin asked everyone to cut all the empty trees in half vertically and make semicircular long tubes. Then he directed them to move these long tubes to higher rivers and waterfalls, and constantly adjust and fix them.
We guided it down section by section until we reached the farmland.
The water of the waterfall flows down along the long tube, twisting and turning in the hollow tree trunks, and finally enters the farmland.
Jia Zhengjin asked everyone to use stone shovels to dig a huge pond at this location to store water. This way, when villagers want water in the future, they don’t have to go down to the nearest river too hard and then carry heavy buckets up.
