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 next morning. Ono released many flying cameras the size of mosquitoes and flew in all directions to explore unknown maps.
People got up one after another.
Be particular about getting some water and wiping your face. People who are used to fleeing will go out directly. 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 day grew brighter, more and more people gathered. Wei Zhou and Yuan You arrived together.
The slaves sat or stood, knowing that they were not welcome and keeping their 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. Take off the shackles." Good job."
Everyone was stunned.
The slaves were in disbelief. They have been shackled since birth and do not know the taste of freedom.
Leng Yi took the lead and stood out first.
Wei Zhou nodded with satisfaction and signaled to the soldiers beside him. Two soldiers stepped forward and opened the shackles.
The molds for shackles are universal, and the keys vary widely.
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 beautiful that he was at a loss as to what to do. My body is not used to it, and I almost fall to one side when moving.
"Don't take up space. Next one." The soldier pushed Leng Yi aside. Immediately some slaves came over and they lined up spontaneously.
Finally it was Fang Youan's turn.
Wei Zhou and Yuan You were surprised. They were supposed to be servants in the city lord's courtyard, but they didn't have to come.
But when people come, they won’t say anything.
A pair of shackles were removed. Some people cried with joy, while others stood there in a daze. They never thought that one day they would be able to take off the shackles.
My 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 them, observing them calmly.
Although he asked for grace, he did not want anyone to be ungrateful. If you really don't know what is right, you can only expel them.
"Thank you City Lord for releasing us. We will definitely work hard and repay you. Thank you City Lord, thank you City Lord..."
Thanks one after another, the slaves were excited.
Yuanyou didn't see anyone looking wrong, so he nodded happily. Fairly discerning.
"It's quite lively." Zhu Qinghong came over wearing a red dress. Everyone looked over and were instantly amazed.
She pulled up her black hair and styled her hair into a bun.
The red and green hairband hangs down behind her head, fluttering and dancing when the wind blows. A strand of hair hung down from her temples, adding a touch of tenderness to her flamboyant beauty. Green top, red skirt, complex and exquisite dark patterns.
The tassel accessories around her waist collided with her movements, creating a different kind of beauty. With perfect makeup and gorgeous jewelry, it would be no exaggeration to say that she is a fairy from heaven. 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 City Lord." Yuanyou was the first to respond.
Wei Zhou came to his senses immediately 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.
In unison, "See the Lord of the City", the hearts of the people want.
Zhu Qinghong smiled and raised his hand: "Get up. Military Advisor Yuan, get out of 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 moved out of the way.
The city gate slowly opened, and Zhu Qinghong was the first to walk out of the city lord. Yuanyou and Weizhou 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 spit out a piece of paper with a floor plan.
Yuanyou took it and looked at it with Wei Zhou, not sure why.
Zhu Qinghong turned around: "Come here empty-handed, do you want to open up wasteland by hand?"
Some people did work and carried hoes.
Some people looked at each other and immediately turned back to the city to get their tools. Zhu Qinghong waved to the man with the hoe to come forward.
She turned the paper in Yuanyou's hand and said, "Hold it upside down. This is the farmland planning and design drawing."
Looking at their expressions, Zhu Qinghong knew they didn't understand.
The doctor-hat robot rolls on the ground, drawing a straight line.
[Grow 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 men with hoes immediately went over and started to dig with their hoes. Hoe after hoe, the soil was so tight that it made my hands numb.
In order to survive, this little hardship is nothing.
They continued digging without saying a word. The three of them had a clear division of labor, and one person was responsible for digging. When they finish digging a piece of land, they switch orders. After all, the person who digs the first time suffers, and no one takes advantage in the rotation.
Zhu Qinghong had a good impression of these three people and specifically asked their names. Lin Mu, Tian Wei, and Fang Ye are local people in Tianchong City.
They are neighbors and good at work. Since their farmland was destroyed, they have become soldiers to protect their families.
She nodded and gave them certain permissions to manage some people. Consider him a group leader.
After all, you have the ability and cannot be buried.
Others brought tools and started working under Wei Zhou's command. Some people have never done it before, and Lin Mu, Tian Wei, and Fang Ye are responsible for teaching them. It's not difficult, practice makes perfect. After learning, all that is left is to work hard.
Being lazy 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.
Have 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. After a busy morning, my stomach was already growling with hunger. Everyone devoured the food without fear of choking.
After eating, everyone licked their bowls clean, not feeling full.
Women who take care of children should first feed them gruel.
Chew the steamed buns and drink some soup by yourself.
Zhu Qinghong was deeply impressed by her.
He worked hard and did not make any demands for taking care of the children. A tough woman is lovable, but Zhu Qinghong does not give him any special treatment.
After lunch, we started digging again.
No. 1 and No. 2 escorted them, but there were demons intruding during the period, and they were all beaten away.
The people were nervous from the beginning to concentrating on their work in the end. 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. I endure my hunger and look forward to eating at noon tomorrow. To harvest enough food, a large amount of wasteland must be cultivated.
These days they do more than dig the ground.
More and more land is being dug out, and there is less and less food in the granaries. Yuanyou was anxious and swallowed every time he opened his mouth.
The flying camera sent back a lot of pictures and found a small river in the south. Going up the river, there is a river.
The creek is a branch of the river and has a guaranteed water source. Although the water source was found, it was not easy to lure it there.
The distance is a bit far, and there are a lot of monsters along the way. Demons also need to eat, drink, and defecate, so they naturally gather more near water sources.
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 to the west and a big country to the east. The woods are in better condition than here, at least they look 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 of the map.
Yuanyou scanned the map and replied: "I read about it in the book, the Forest of Demons."
With just one name, he probably knew what Linzi was like. The 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 don't have enough manpower. Even if there is no demon interference, we cannot divert the river water."
[Master, Ono can bring the water. Pipes buried underground will not be damaged. Safe and secure. 】
Ignoring Xiaoye, 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, those 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 promised 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 is the use of these subordinates? 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 took, she was patient.
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 is interested in water, I am really looking forward to what Wonwoo will do.
Wei Zhou happened to enter the house and was surprised to see Yuan You looking 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, monsters block the road and it is difficult to get it. 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 to do it."
Yuanyou looked directly at Wei Zhou: "Is it really impossible? General Wei, any great thing is just a fantasy before it succeeds."
Once you succeed, it's a feat. Diverting water sources to benefit future generations is a matter of lasting benefit.
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 hand, then turned and left.
Wei Zhou couldn't figure out what to do with the food...
Yuanyou returned home and sat at the table in a daze.
He turned to look at the mechanical bird on his shoulder, touching its eyes with his hand. The next moment, Yuanyou entered a place filled with books.
As soon as he thought, countless books flew over.
Yuanyou took one and read it carefully.
