The farmers in the Xiliang camp shouted neat slogans and pulled the ropes they were dragging forward. The fishing nets were slowly pulled up from the lake. Along with the fishing nets, there were also big fish full of fishing nets. Smaller fish were not qualified to follow.
When these big fish were pulled up together, they would have long since escaped through the gaps between the fishing nets.
Li Xiang didn't care about this either. What he needed was big fish. Catching those small fish was of no use. They didn't have two mouthfuls of meat on them. What was the use of bringing up the meat? It would be better to leave these small fish in the lake and wait.
Next year when they grow up, catch these fish again.
They can't fish all the time. No matter how many fish there are in the lake, they will eventually catch them all. They only need bigger fish, and they will let the smaller fish go for the time being.
The fish that came out of the net weighed about a thousand kilograms. A dozen farmers pulled the fishing net together, and more than a dozen huge holes were made in the huge lake.
After pulling up a broken fishing net, they went to the next break and pulled up the broken fishing nets one by one. When they just emerged from the water, they were still jumping lively. After being blown by the cold wind,
, it becomes a frozen fish.
Li Xiang led a few farmers to drag a cargo raft made of wooden strips. They could drag hundreds of kilograms of fish without using much effort. When they reached the shore, specialized people came to help transport them.
Li Xiang was constantly transporting fish back and forth. It turned out that in the cold winter, he could attract a large number of fish without any bait. What these fish needed was not bait, they needed the air on the ground.
All they need to do is open a hole, and the fish will just rush up without them having to make any more preparations. They just put the fishing net down, wait for a period of time, and then pull the fishing net up.
This also made Li Xiang breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he would not have found anything to look for so many beast entrails.
He had stored the internal organs that he released for a long time on the first day at the lake, but they had all been used on the first day. Even if these fish were dying, as long as there was food in front of them, they would choose to eat first.
Being busy makes people feel very fulfilled. After a busy day, everyone in this camp fell asleep. The work during the day was not easy. Even Li Xiang felt very tired.
Early the next morning, Li Xiang watched thirty wheelbarrows and ten militiamen go away. Even if thirty farmers and ten militiamen encountered enemies on the road, they would still be able to fight.
After sending these people away, Li Xiang went to the salt mining area to take a look. There was still a little distance between the salt mining area and the lake. The salt mining area should be the last mountain in this mountainous area.
The mountain where the salt mining area is located is not very high. Compared with the mountains in the forest, it is very short. It is only about three hundred meters high. Most of the mountains that need to be crossed on the way from Juhu to Xiliang Camp are
They were all over a thousand meters, and most of the roads they were walking on were canyons, with snow-white mountains on both sides, and the sound of an eagle could be heard.
This mountain may be because it is a salt mine. There are stones everywhere on the mountain and there are no plants at all. Of course, in this cold winter, even if there are plants, they will not appear in Li Xiang's eyes.
Li Xiang stood on the salt mountain and looked to the west, which is the direction from which the jackals came. The arrival of the jackals made Li Xiang know that the Western world and the Eastern world will be reconnected, but this may take a long time.
After a while, the fox man with a tail appeared.
In the future, all fox men can go to the Eastern World. The cultivation level of that fox man is not very high, just like ordinary people. Such people can pass through the barrier between the East and the West, so they can still block the strong men from the Western World. ?
However, Li Xiang has a question. Since a weak person like Fox Man can pass through this wilderness, where have all the strong men who were sent out by Da Gan gone?
Even the fox men can pass, why can't those strong men pass? Li Xiang feels that there must be a problem, but this problem is not something that needs to be thought about now.
What he needs to do now is to check out the huge plain ahead that the gnolls call the wilderness.
The Xiliang camp will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future. The area in the forest is large enough for Xiliang camp soldiers to be stationed, but it is not suitable for Xiliang farmers. They need huge cultivated land, preferably plains. They don’t care where Whether the place is fertile or not, even if it is a piece of loess, as long as they are given enough time, they can turn the loess into land that can be planted. This is the strength of Xiliang farmers.
Plains, the wilderness in the gnoll records is a very good choice. Most of the wilderness is plains, which meets the requirements of farmers. The water source for irrigating the fields can be dug into a ditch from the giant lake.
The wind on the salt mine was very strong, and there were some snowflakes in the wind. Li Xiang looked up at the sky, and he didn't know when there would be more clouds in the sky, which made Li Xiang a little speechless. How many times will snowflakes fall on this northwest land? , it has been a month, and the snow in front has not melted yet, and the snowflakes behind are about to fall again.
"Follow me to the front and take a look!"
Li Xiang looked at the sky. It was still very early. The snow-white and flat land in front of him could not be seen to the end. His eyes were all white. After a few more glances, he felt that his eyes were not very comfortable.
The wind on the plain is much stronger than the wind on the lakeside. The snow on the ground is very deep. You need to pay attention to your steps when walking forward. There are many rocks and you may get your feet wet if you are not careful.
Li said to Li Mu next to him: "Li Mu, what do you think of this place as farmland for farmers?"
Li Mu looked at it carefully for a while and then said: "My lord, my lord, this place is very suitable for farmers to cultivate farmland. This area is flat. We only need to use mills to divert water from the giant lake. As long as this place is not all stones, farmers can also You can fill them with crops. The farmers are not very good at fighting, but in terms of planting, they are the most powerful in the empire."
When Li Xiang heard Li Mu's words, he looked into the distance. If this vast area really became the farmland of their Xiliang camp, in the future, the Xiliang camp would not need the fish in the giant lake to feed the people of the Xiliang camp. Soldier.
Just when Li Xiang was imagining that the vast wilderness in front of him turned into countless fertile fields, and when it was time to harvest, what he saw at first glance was not the white in front of him, but a golden yellow. Two militiamen in the distance ran over quickly, and on Li Xiang's small map On the ground, about ten miles away from the Juhu camp, Duanchou was surrounded by a large red swath of red soldiers he had sent back.
In the forest, ten militiamen and twenty-eight farmers formed a circle with wheelbarrows to protect them in the middle. They held large knives in their hands and looked warily at the people surrounding them.
Li Jin sat in the middle, taking a sip of the water that was still cold. The people surrounding them were not people from the Eastern world, but humans from the Western world. These people had a strong smell and their trademark red hair. He There was no trace of panic in his eyes.
The place they are in is not very far from Juhu Camp, and there is a sentry post nearby. As long as these humans in the Western world in front of them have murderous intentions, the lord in the distance will know that he is in trouble, and there are also these
When the people rushed out, he had already sent two farmers to the Juhu camp to ask for help.
So Li Jin is not panic at all. He just needs to protect the farmers from getting hurt. The Lord often said that the goods can be thrown away, as long as the people are fine. If the goods are gone, they can be reacquired to make up for the losses. If the people are gone, it will be in vain.
The Lord has a lot of supplies.
As long as the people in the Western world around him don't move, Prime Minister Li will never take action first. If he really takes action, the Western people around him still don't know who will win and who will lose?
"Ms. Charlie, are these people waiting for reinforcements?" A young man wrapped in animal skins, with golden hair exposed and a high nose, walked toward the crowd in the west. He was wearing the least, wearing a dark blue mage robe.
woman.
The woman shook her head, and a cold voice came: "These Easterners don't say a word. My magical voice cannot decipher their legal words and find out what they are going to do!"
The blond man frowned: "Then shall we take action or not?"
The eyes of other big men around were focused on the fish on the wheelbarrow. They came to this place from the other side. It was better before winter. They could hunt some wild beasts from the wilderness, but since the rain in this place.
After the heavy snowfall, they hunted very few prey every day, and everyone received very little food every day.
The fish on the wheelbarrow are the supplies they are in urgent need of, but these people who look like farmers in front of them are holding weapons. It will definitely be difficult for them to take these fish from the opponent's hands.
These people certainly weren't going to just let their food be taken away from them!
That's why the blond man asked the woman, "This woman is the most powerful among them. In their world, people like them can't get close to each other at all."
The woman glanced at Li Jin, who had no fear on his face. The man in front of her was surrounded, and there was no trace of panic on his face. He was either a fool or emboldened. The other party could transport so much food. There must be a legal camp nearby that belonged to them. They initially
If you go to this place and kill the other party's people, you are challenging the local snake.
Charlie thought for a moment and then said, "Don't worry, they are probably waiting for someone!"
Hearing Charlie's words, the blond man was a little confused: "Madam, if their reinforcements arrive, it will be impossible for us to get this food. We might as well take advantage of this moment to grab some fish and we'll leave!"
The blond man's words were supported by most people and they all said;
"Ma'am, what if they attack us as soon as they come here?"
"That's right! Look at these people's hair, they are a group of barbarians!"
"We are civilized people, but who can guarantee that these people are also civilized people? Madam, I feel that we should just take the food and leave. Leaving a glass bead for these barbarians is enough!"
....
There is some arrogance in these words. The West is the center of world civilization. Only barbarians can grow their hair long. Although they are not nobles, they are envoys from a civilized place to serve the distant East.
Bring civilization, as long as they return to the Western world and bring back this map that can lead to the Eastern continent, they will be the transmitters of Western civilization, and the church will give them gifts!
Charlie listened to the words of these people. These people could not survive in their own country. They could only go eastward to see if they could find a way to the Eastern World. They knew much about the trade in the Eastern World. They only knew that there were
Humanity.
As a mage of the Ice and Snow Cult, she has records of the Eastern world in the Ice and Snow Cult books. The East is an incomparable world, and they are different from the Western world. The Eastern world generally only has one country, even if there are multiple countries,
That is only temporary, they are happy to unify and unify the entire Eastern world.
A unified country that is about the same size as the entire Western world. Charlie doesn't know how much power that country will unleash!
There are various magicians like her in the Western world. There are various Taoisms in the Eastern world. They have powerful knights. There are generals in the East who are more powerful than knights. In the Eastern world, the most powerful ones are military generals.
The largest military commander in the record, he can move freely among thousands of troops, and he can take the heads of enemy generals as if he were picking out objects from a bag.
Even if their magicians are the most powerful, they can kill dozens of soldiers at most without the protection of powerful troops. Compared with Eastern generals, their personal strength gap is still very large, but if they are allowed
When magicians combine together, they can kill thousands of people if they are accurate.
Charlie looked at the people who were already preparing to seize the fish on the wheelbarrow, and said coldly: "This is not the Western world, but the Eastern world that we don't know about. Do you think a force can send forty people to transport goods?
, will they not have the strength to surround us?
Look at the direction we came from. As long as the other party follows our footsteps, it will be easy to catch up with us. Don't forget that the other party is the owner of this place. They know where to hide people better than we do.
If you want to die, you can go and touch those fish! Your actions have nothing to do with me."
Charlie said and retreated to the side. The blond man and the others looked at each other. Charlie's words reminded them that if they really snatched each other's fish, the forest would be full of snow.
They would leave traces along the way, and it would be impossible for them to escape the enemy's pursuit.
After thinking about it, the golden-haired man saluted Charlie: "Thank you, madam, for reminding me, otherwise we people would have sent the wrong message!"
The others politely imitated the blond man and bowed and thanked him.
Li Jin looked at the people in the distance who were arguing fiercely about something at first, and then saluted the man in a blue robe with a strange salute. Gifts were not surprising. In his memory, this was how the salute in the Western world was.
