Lu Tianxi said to the people standing at the door: "You guys help Professor Gong move the seeds, and then you must unconditionally cooperate with Professor Gong in farming."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Miss——"
Two men stepped forward and easily picked up the seeds.
Professor Gong followed the freshly baked assistant downstairs and stood at the door of the Lu family. The corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at the truck filled with ten tons of wheat seeds in front of him.
He felt a little top-heavy and his eyesight turned gloomy. Only then did he understand the Lu family's intention of arranging assistants and recruiting workers.
Professor Gong stared at the wheat seeds on the car and calculated quickly in his mind.
It takes about 4,000 acres of land to plant so many seeds, and even mechanical planting requires a lot of workers.
4,000 acres of land can conservatively harvest 3,000 tons of wheat. This amount of food can feed many people.
A female assistant stepped forward and reminded Professor Gong: "Professor, we are going to survey the fields in the north of the city that can be planted, and we also need to recruit workers. We are short on time and have a heavy task."
"Okay, okay!" Professor Gong got into the car with light steps.
For the rest of the day, he was extremely busy.
Poor old professor's shaky legs, they haven't been struggling like this for many years.

Upstairs, study.
Lu Tianxi stood in front of the window and watched the truck containing wheat seeds disappear from sight.
She folded her hands in front of her chest and tapped her fingers lightly on her outer arms, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.
The wheat seeds taken away require 2000 drops, which is equivalent to 100ML of mutation potion.
After three months, when the wheat matures, she may harvest fresh wheat seeds that do not need to be modified by chemicals.
The R-level potion provided by the system must have a very low failure rate.
Once the experiment is successful, it will save many people who kill each other due to competition for food.
The rice and meat business that emerged due to food shortage in the future will also cease to exist.
But does she want to contribute these things unconditionally?
The smile in Lu Tianxi's eyes faded, and she narrowed her eyes and stared at a certain place outside the window, her delicate fair face lost in thought.
A document covered with dense handwriting was presented to me.
Lu Shirong pointed to the huge number at the bottom of the document and said softly: "This is the food that the workers building the city wall will consume in the next month."
The nice voice was as gentle as ever, and the well-jointed fingers turned to the next page of the document.
"I went to the city yesterday and met with the temporary person in charge of the Zhenglou Building. They already knew that the food stored in the Nanhuai Grain Depot was missing. I traded supplies with them for a batch of weapons."
Lu Tianxi's eyes widened slightly when he looked at the number of transaction materials on the document.
If calculated in terms of the amount before the end of the world, it is clear that a batch of sophisticated weapons were purchased at the price of cabbage.
This business is so worth it!
Lu Shirong kept moving his hands and opened the city wall design drawings under the document.
"Building a city wall is not as complicated as building a high-rise building, but in order to strengthen the defense and protect it from attacks and damage by strange beasts and superpowers, I increased the difficulty from the original thickness and height of the city wall.
The workers building the city wall have started today. Don't worry about the construction speed being too slow. We are recruiting a large number of workers, and we will give priority to people who have had contact with construction machinery.
I believe it won’t be long before the protective city wall begins to take shape. If you want to speed up the process, you can recruit more workers. "
Building city walls now is no better than in ancient times. Advanced mechanical assistance greatly reduces manpower consumption and the efficiency is unusually fast.
Lu Shirong observed that the girl beside him frowned slightly, and she didn't look happy at all.
He quickly replayed the tasks issued by the Doomsday Infrastructure System in his mind.
There is a main mission to build a safe base in Nanhuai City and reward a Death Virus Vaccine Formula Card.
Lu Shirong suppressed his contemplation and said slowly: "If millions of people come to build the city wall, the defensive wall in the north of the city can be barely completed before the Yancheng rescue team arrives."
Nanhuai City has a population of more than 23 million. After the virus attack, about 7 million people were left.
In such a difficult living environment, all survivors must work hard to survive. When food is in short supply, it is not difficult for the Lu family to use food to recruit millions of workers.
Just blindly increasing the speed of city wall construction will inevitably lead to time-consuming reinforcement in the future.
When Lu Tianxi heard this, he almost immediately said: "Then continue to recruit people!"
This time Yancheng's rescue team arrived, and she didn't want the Lu family to remain humble and cowardly.
The Lu family cannot compete with the Yancheng base for the time being. Some things need to be hidden, but they cannot be ignored. The Lu family must have the qualifications to sit down and negotiate with others.
Lu Tianxi flipped through the documents and found various records that required the consumption of food in exchange for benefits to the Lu family.
After reading it, she closed the document and stared up at the man next to her.
"Uncle, the zombies and strange beasts in the north of the city need to be cleaned up. This is our safe base, and no danger is allowed to exist in the city."
People's hearts are becoming more and more unstable, and there is no guarantee that no changes will happen in the future. The Lu family must gain the right to speak in the north of the city as soon as possible.
Whether it is through emotion, reason, or forced suppression, this city can only be named Lu.
Lu Shirong did not agree immediately and looked at the broken scene outside the window: "There are still too few superpowers. Most of the Lu family's superpowers have been sent out."
Half of the members of the security company, Zhang Yiming and others were sent out to direct and guard the workers building the city wall.
The remaining people, whether they are ordinary people or people with special powers, all have their own tasks to deal with.
Cleaning up the zombies in the city is a huge project that consumes a lot of manpower and weapons.
They not only need manpower, but also more weapons and sufficient food to maintain the employment relationship.
A smile overflowed from Lu Tianxi's eyes, and he said in a relaxed tone: "You can recruit people, not only people with super powers, but also ordinary people who are good at skills and courageous enough.
There are so many survivors in Nanhuai City. They always need food and clothing to support their families, or they need weapons and other supplies. We can exchange with them. "
"Okay-" Lu Shirong nodded with a smile.
What he didn't say was that this was already happening.
When the Lu family was recruiting workers to build the city wall, they met people with super powers or some skills. Asking them if they would like to join the Lu family team could improve their treatment.
Lu Shirong changed the topic and mentioned another matter: "Do you know Professor Su Ye? A core member of the Lu Institute of Biology, you saved his son, and he wants to thank you in person."
Lu Tianxi nodded: "I know, his son's name is Su Xiangyu, I can use this man."
"Then meet them."
*
Su Ye, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, a family of four, waited at Lu's house all morning, and finally saw Lu Tianxi coming down from upstairs.
Lu Shirong and Lu Tianxi went downstairs one after another, and Su ye immediately led people to greet them.
"Fourth Master Lu, Miss Lu."
Lu Tianxi glanced coldly at Su Ye and saw a family of three behind him.
Standing next to Su Xiangyu was a gentle-looking woman holding a child.
Seeing the other party, Lu Tianxi's eyes showed surprise: "It's you!"
