“It’s hard to be a good person, it’s even harder to be a bad person, it’s even harder to change from a bad person to a good person, and it’s even harder to change from a good person to a bad person.”
Reggie wrote a poem, and he was inspired by the changes in the broken bones. He once tried to get the orcs to make changes, and he succeeded, but these changes caused him to run into some trouble. When he needed some bad guys,
There are not many people left around who can do bad things.
Reggie is not in a hurry to make everyone become bad guys. The residents in the city have been cleaned up, and the black powder dumplings have also been cleaned up. Now it is time to take over Blackwater City with confidence and boldness.
Because Blackwater City itself is a giant castle, there are no real streets in the city, and the buildings are very dense. Except for the main road leading to the city center, most places can't even see sunlight.
Riding Hurley's newly built boat, passing through many gates along the Blackwater River, and arriving at the center of the city, the innermost castle, Reggie could vaguely imagine the life in Blackwater City.
There are no markets, no shops, and almost no public facilities in this city. According to Jiawen's introduction, the White Wolf King will distribute daily necessities to all residents once a month, mainly food and clothing, and the nobles can get some livestock.
, they would hand over their livestock to the surrounding shepherds and let them raise them for them.
This is pure family management. The White Wolf King treats everyone in the city as a family member, or as a domestic slave. This kind of city is obviously not what Reggie wants, but it cannot be completely transformed overnight.
.
Completely razing Blackwater City and then rebuilding it? This is not a good idea.
Although Blackwater City is not as strong as the peerless dangers of Hanmaple Fortress and Red Mud City, a city standing across the water is definitely a miracle in this era. Although the original ecological atmosphere still disgusts Reggie, the scenery on both sides of the river is
However, Reggie was amazed. The large and small castles were connected to each other by cloisters. They did not have the gorgeous style of the Lion Kingdom or the majesty of the White Tower Kingdom, but they had the unique elegance of the Middle Ages and the unique style of the Western Regions, which was enough to compare with another world.
The water city is comparable to Venice.
If you want to transform this city, you must do two things. First, you must let the shepherds outside the city have the courage to come in, and you must let the old residents of Suixue City have the mood to live in. Let everyone understand one thing, here
It is no longer the home of the White Wolf King, but a part of the Broken Snow Kingdom.
"First transfer a group of craftsmen from Broken Snow City," Jiawen gave the first suggestion. "At least five hundred people are needed. We need to build the west wall stronger. The White Wolf King may launch a counterattack at any time."
Jiawen's worry is not unreasonable. For the Werewolf, losing the city and losing the territory are completely different things. Although the White Wolf King lost the most important city, it does not mean that he has lost everything. He still has a lot of people.
The lords living on the grassland, and the strength of these lords gathered together, was enough for the White Wolf King to launch a counterattack again.
But Reggie has no plans to build the city wall right now, and he doesn’t want to transfer too many craftsmen from Broken Snow City. Broken Snow City is currently in high-speed operation, with guns, artillery, white phosphorus, gunpowder, glass, ceramics, silk, cement...
…All products must ensure output, and heavy work such as building city walls is really not suitable for them.
Reggie used Dorothy and Samantha's telephony skills to get in touch with Nipoli.
He asked Nipoli to send a large number of farm tools, a group of farmers who were proficient in farming, and a large number of potatoes.
"What are you bringing a farmer for?" Even Will Rogers didn't understand Reggie's intention, "My lord, you don't want to farm here, do you?"
"What's wrong with farming?" Reggie moved his shoulders and signaled Dorothy to use more strength. "There is a ready source of water here, and the land is fertile enough."
"But the werewolves don't know how to farm at all!"
"Then let them learn to farm." Reggie stretched out a hand, and Dorothy massaged his wrist skillfully. "Although it's already this time, it's still not too late to plant some potatoes."
"It's of no use," Iron Skull shook his head. "The White Wolf King will come to rob their crops. Even if they can't rob them, they will burn them all."
"Are you sure he will come to rob the crops?"
"Of course I am sure that the wolf king of Benlang Kingdom is a wild beast. Which wild beast have you seen that doesn't bite people?"
"Why doesn't he go grab the herdsmen's livestock?" Reggie said with a smile, "The grasslands are full of lone herdsmen. That would be easier than grabbing the crops."
"Who said it was easy to win? The herdsmen will resist."
"Am I going to watch him rob?" Reggie stretched out a leg, and Dorothy went to help him massage his knee. "The farmland is near Blackwater City. Anyone who dares to harm the crops will face our guns.
, even if the White Wolf King comes in person, I can make sure that he never returns. If he is not stupid, it would be more cost-effective to rob those shepherds."
Will shook his head and said: "But the White Wolf King has no reason to rob the herdsmen. Those shepherds are still his people. Only those running wolves who choose to cultivate the land are considered to have surrendered to you, and they are the targets of the White Wolf King's robbery."
"You finally got to the point," Reggie smiled. "Herdsmen are the people of the White Wolf King, and farmers are my people. I want the werewolves to learn to be farmers. They must understand one thing.
The farmers will have food to eat, and they will also be protected by the lord."
Reggie defined a piece of farmland around Blackwater City and sent a message to the surrounding shepherds: Those who came to claim the land would receive a piece of land, one hundred pounds of grain and a place to live.
The land has little appeal to werewolves. They are accustomed to living a nomadic life and may even feel that the land is a kind of bondage.
The attraction of one hundred pounds of grain is not small. A family of shepherds may have dozens of people. These dozens of people cannot live entirely by eating meat. They also don’t have that many livestock. In the past, they would drive their livestock to the country every year.
Heishui City exchanged food for food, but this year they could not exchange it. Magnev at least told the truth. The surrounding countries fell into famine due to pests, which caused them to lose the channels to purchase food. Many herdsmen were starving.
The attraction of a residence is even more powerful, because the residence Reggie promised is in Blackwater City. To the surrounding shepherds, Blackwater City is almost the same as the Forbidden City. Only the Wolf King’s family is qualified to live there.
There, after the news spread, hundreds of herdsmen soon came to Blackwater City to claim the land, and then took their cattle and sheep to happily graze on the cultivated land designated by Reji.
Reggie was still a little too optimistic. It was not as easy as he thought to get the Werewolves to change their original living habits. The farm tools he sent were used as weapons by the shepherds, and the farmers he sent were beaten by the shepherds.
The lost potato seeds were fed directly to the livestock by herdsmen.
It seems that another method must be used to let the shepherds learn the life of farmers as soon as possible.
