Tang Zhen withdrew his gaze from the entrance to the valley and looked elsewhere.
In the other direction of the valley, Qianlong shouted loudly, and the same group of residents wielded sharp sickles, cutting down patches of weeds, and then leveling the ground with shovels.
After clearing a site of five acres, they began to build a simple shed.
The length of this shed is about tens of meters. According to the plan, a total of four sheds need to be built, arranged in four rows. The main body of the shed is made of iron pipes brought by Tang Zhen and stones from the valley. After the iron pipes are reinforced with right-angle fasteners, they will The top of the shed is covered with colored steel tiles, and the surrounding area is blocked with stones.
This kind of shed can be used as a trading stall and can provide temporary shelter from the sun and rain for homeless people. It is also one of the means to attract homeless homeless people.
Tang Zhenquan relied on the storage space to help. Otherwise, just these building materials alone would take a long time to move.
Now that the residents of Holy Dragon City know that the city lord has magical abilities, Tang Zhen no longer avoids them. After seeing the city lord release supplies several times, the residents of Holy Dragon City have become accustomed to it.
Further out in sight is the location of the lake in the valley.
The shimmering lake is very beautiful, vast and rich in aquatic products. Standing on a high place on a sunny day, you can see groups of fish swimming in the turquoise water. The whole picture looks very beautiful.
But Tang Zhen knew very well that if he rashly entered the water to fish, he would definitely die miserably.
In the lake, among the lush aquatic plants a few meters away from the shore, there lived a kind of string-like bugs. There were countless numbers of them. What surprised Tang Zhen the most was that they were also miniature monsters!
This kind of monster bug, which is shown to be out of level in the monster detector, usually feeds on aquatic plants. However, when a creature enters the water and approaches the aquatic plants, they will bite and entangle them desperately until the attacked object collapses. in water.
At this time, the attacked object will become a delicious meal for them to improve their diet.
And this kind of terrifying bug happens to be the food of another kind of strange fish in the lake, those black strange fish that swim in groups on the surface of the water.
Tyson once told Tang Zhen that there should be something like a water monster living in the lake. He once saw a black shadow at least seven or eight meters long wandering through the lake.
Even on nights when the moon is high, the roars of monsters can be heard from the lake.
If Tang Zhen wants to make use of this lake, he must clear away all kinds of dangerous creatures in the lake. The first thing to kill is naturally the unknown water monster. If it is allowed to linger in the lake, what will happen to Shenglong City and the valley? The homeless market under construction in China is a big threat.
As for how to deal with this monster, Tang Zhen already has a preliminary plan and will implement it soon.
The lake is very fertile, and the land near the lake is the only land in the valley suitable for farming.
After the residents' reclamation, about one hectare of land has been cleared and several high-yielding crops brought by Tang Zhen have been sown.
The residents of Shenglong City had never had any experience in farming the land, and the same was true for Tang Zhen. In order to learn how to farm, Tang Zhen searched for information and bought books. After working for a few days, he finally finished sowing the land.
There are more than a dozen kinds of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.
Whether these plants can grow smoothly will directly determine the future food source of Shenglong City. After all, relying on Tang Zhen to transport it is not a long-term solution. There must be a stable food source.
At the same time, there are also several unique wild plants of the Loucheng world that are cultivated, which are also the main source of food for the wanderers in this world.
For example, there are "astringent melons" that grow underground and are as big as a washbasin, "bitter melons" whose stems are full of starch, and "sauer beans" that look like peas, each of which is more unpalatable than the last.
But the wanderers in Loucheng World have no choice. In order to fill their stomachs, they can only endure the strange smell and eat.
Tang Zhen didn't want to eat these crops, but he just wanted to see if the yield would increase after applying the chemical fertilizers he brought. If the effect was satisfactory, then it would be perfectly fine to plant some of these crops.
Compared with crops on Earth, the vitality of plants in Loucheng World is so tenacious!
After walking around the cultivated land, Tang was shocked and delighted to find that sparse sprouts had sprouted on the ground, which were the sweet potatoes, potatoes and other plants he had brought from the earth.
He quickly called the residents responsible for cultivating the land and told them to take good care of the seedlings and water and weed them in time.
Seeing these sprouted crops, Tang Zhen was in a good mood.
Each building city will provide a monthly limit of food exchange according to the number of residents. This is a not very important, but indispensable function. These foods are not given for free, but need to be redeemed with points.
Unfortunately, the small amount of food exchanged can only ensure that the residents will not starve to death. It is absolutely impossible to eat every meal. But if we want to ensure the vitality of the building city and let the residents participate more actively in the construction of the building city, a full stomach is the prerequisite. Otherwise, how can the residents work who are so hungry that they can even walk?
It can be said that solving the food source is one of the important problems currently faced by Shenglong City. If it cannot be properly solved, it will be difficult for Shenglong City to achieve much development in the future.
If Tang Zhen could control the original world, then this problem would be easily solved. After transferring a large number of people, he could turn the original world into a global processing factory and a large granary.
The dream is very great, but it is still far away to be realized. So judging from the current situation, if the residents of Shenglong City want to live a better life and have no worries about food and clothing, then they should work hard to earn coins!
coin?
Tang Zhen thought of this and found that he had something to do again, which was to prepare a currency to replace the brain beads, which could be used inside the building city.
After everything in Loucheng is on track, this currency can also be used as wages for residents, and at the same time, they can exchange the brains they have accumulated.
Tang Zhen did not want to take advantage of the pitiful brains in the pockets of the residents, but he hoped that one day, all wanderers who came to Holy Dragon City to trade would use the currency of Holy Dragon City, otherwise they would not be able to buy and sell goods.
If the foreign Rangers team wants this currency, they must exchange it with brain beads. In this way, a large number of brain beads will enter Tang Zhen's pocket.
"City Lord, Lord City Lord!"
Tang Zhen was thinking about the problem while walking, but suddenly a voice calling him came to his ears. When he turned around, he saw a soldier riding a tricycle, driving towards him crookedly.
"what happened?"
Tang Zhen asked after the tricycle stopped.
Then the soldier stopped the tricycle, and then breathed heavily and said to Tang Zhen: "We stopped a wanderer exploration team at the entrance of the valley. They asked to enter the valley for refuge, saying that they wanted to avoid being chased by a group of kobolds.
Leader Tyson and his brothers stopped them, but Leader Qianlong asked you to come over, saying that you might be interested in something about these people! "
When Tang Zhen heard this, he immediately turned around and jumped on the tricycle, and said to the soldier: "Give me more gas, we will rush over immediately!"
The soldier agreed, immediately turned the accelerator of the tricycle to the bottom, and rushed towards the entrance of the valley.
Approaching the entrance of the valley, Tang Zhen saw Tyson and Qianlong leading a group of fully armed soldiers around them. There were also a dozen homeless people in tattered clothes squatting on the ground, with expressions of frustration on their faces.
What surprised Tang Zhen was that when he looked at these wanderers, he found that golden light flashed from time to time on their bodies, which looked extremely dazzling.
Tang Zhen was very surprised. After jumping off the tricycle, he came to these homeless people in a few steps.
Tyson was asking a strong homeless man with a sullen face. Judging from the bruised nose and swollen face of the guy, he might have been dishonest before and was beaten up by Tyson.
Qianlong walked to Tang Zhen and pointed at the shining golden armor and hammer-shaped weapons on the wanderers. He remembered that Tang Zhen liked to collect this kind of soft and heavy metal, so he immediately ordered someone to notify Tang Zhen. shock.
Tang Zhen's eyes widened at this moment. He picked up a wanderer's sledgehammer weapon and took a closer look, and was sure that the sledgehammer was actually a piece of gold!
Looking at the other wanderers, they all have gold hammer-shaped weapons and armor made of flattened gold plates!
The complete set of equipment made of gold made Tang Zhen feel ashamed. What a bunch of tycoons!
After weighing the weight of the golden hammer, Tang Zhen couldn't help but ask: "I said, you are quite rich, and you actually use this kind of weapon!"
When the strong man who was bruised and swollen by Tyson heard this, he thought Tang Zhen was laughing at them, and said with a smile on his face: "Rich? Brother, we really have no money! If we were rich, we would still use such shabby weapons. It’s heavy and soft, we have no choice but to use this weapon because we are so poor!”
Tang Zhen was speechless. He was wearing unadulterated gold equipment and still cried about being poor. You poor people only have money left, right?
Of course Tang Zhen also knew that this big man was telling the truth, because in the world of Loucheng, gold was really worthless. Even a steel bar that could be made into a weapon was worth more than a large piece of gold.
The only thing he was curious about was that the golden hammer with patterns cast on the surface in his hand was obviously a part of some kind of artifact. Where did this group of wanderers get it from, and why were they in such a mess?
