Wolf King

Chapter 111

After detouring from the north for more than a month, the transport team finally found the Snow Wolf tribe in the middle of the grassland.

The Huoyan tribe has lived in the central region for many years, and has some knowledge of the distribution of the same tribes. However, after the incident of borrowing soldiers 14 years ago, many tribes moved out. The pastures that belonged to the Snow Wolf tribe were either occupied by the cat tribe or the tiger tribe. In the process, this caused a lot of trouble for the transport team... Fortunately, the Snow Wolves are sensitive to smell, so they avoided breaking into the enemy tribe many times.

Once you find someone, things will be much easier. Sending gifts, talking about the old days, the testimony of Li clan leader and others are in sharp contrast with the tragic experience of Ah Yi. The tribe who has not lived very well in the middle of the past few years will be on the spot without saying a word. Packing luggage - the advantage of the entire tribe's migration is that there is no need for a transport team to pick someone to escort them. They will drive the cattle and sheep on the road, and follow the road signs left by the transport team when they come.

In less than half a month, I found three tribes successively and successfully persuaded the whole tribe of these three tribes to relocate. After that, things didn't go so smoothly.It’s not that they are questioned, the trust of the Snow Wolf clan in the same clan is nothing to say, but it’s that they can’t make up their minds... In other words, they abandon the habitual way of life and touch the unknown. In that case, if there is a one-size-fits-all elite fighter like Xiao Hua, it is inevitable that he will have to hesitate over a small problem as big as a sesame mung bean.

In the middle of the grassland with the most grasslands, there are hundreds of large and small snow wolf tribes. Most of them are located in the plains on both sides of the Brei River, and a few are located along the banks of the River of the Earth. Traces of activities can be found from time to time. Some tribes' activities are located in a relatively remote or semi-closed environment. In such a situation, even if the transport team passes by the surrounding tribes, they will not meet people...

For more than six months, the transportation team ran back and forth on the north bank of the Brai River, and discovered more than 30 tribes of the Snow Wolf tribe. Thirteen tribes immediately accepted the invitation to live together and moved the whole tribe. There were eleven tribes who were hesitant and did not discuss an answer when the transport team returned. The rest of the tribes were very excited about the invitation to live together, but they couldn’t leave immediately due to various reasons, and hoped to postpone the migration time. a year or two.

The grassroots patriarch is not surprised by these situations. Whether he is hesitant or wants to postpone, he is friendly. He exchanges spices and cloth with them for furs and monster parts. If there are more embarrassing tribes, they will send some salt; If you are of the same race, there is no reason for others not to follow you, then you will not be able to do business or be friends.

The transportation team was running around in the middle of the grassland, and Xiao Yunshou was not idle at home.Due to the large army of soldiers being drawn out, the burden of transporting goods to Elven Port and making deals with St. Bridge was transferred to the shoulders of Languo's engineering team. This year's transport of goods is much more convenient and faster than last year. The reason is that the engineering team dug the artificial river to the sea after nearly ten months of hard work (including last year's construction period).

The ten-meter-wide artificial river is used as a canal or something... Xiao Yun has no face to say, but it’s no problem to put a raft and boat or something. In addition, this year’s water is strong, and the goods can float to the west coast on the day the tribe puts the raft on. The estuary at the Grand Canyon, and then unload the goods and move them to the Elf Port, the journey only takes two hours, not to mention saving a lot of effort.

Even going upstream, paddling and rowing is more convenient than going by land.

As soon as this miniature canal was opened, the food stores in Elven Port even put maltose, which is not easy to preserve for a long time (maltose can only be preserved for ten to fifteen days in summer temperatures)... You can even see the new dishes developed in the cafeteria see.

Such a novel mode of transportation made a group of energetic guys in the tribe very excited, and they all rushed to deliver goods to the Elven port, and their work was delayed. Xiao Yun was so angry that he stopped this "evil trend" .

"Work does not distinguish between high and low. Work that contributes to the tribe and the collective is important work. Whoever is good at what to do should work hard. You can't do it because you think it's fun, and you don't want to do it if it's not fun. If everyone If we do this, can our collective survive?"

At the work meeting, Xiao Yun glared at all the fluffy people: "Even if it's cooking in the canteen for everyone to eat, they still have a division of labor, who is in charge of washing the vegetables, who is in charge of cutting the vegetables, who is in charge of kneading the noodles, and who is in charge of washing the dishes." , Every division of labor must be done by someone, and the cafeteria will have food for us when the time comes. If everyone in the cafeteria washes vegetables and is unwilling to do anything else, then you still want to have something to eat? Bah, fart!"

Dahe, who made the most trouble, looked away secretly, and Uncle Ashan, who followed the fuss, looked sad, and couldn't help but whispered a few words to Qingcao silently pointing his fingers.

"I've repeated it countless times. All of us are gathered together to form a collective. For the normal operation of the collective, each of us must do our own work and be responsible for the collective division of labor we undertake. Do our own work, Take charge of the division of labor and fulfill your responsibilities to the collective, then you can do whatever you want. Tell me loudly now, who is confident that he can complete his job perfectly and can be distracted to undertake long-term, stable, uninterrupted and error-free port delivery? Cargo work? Come on, say it out loud so everyone can hear it!"

Qingyan looked left and right in embarrassment. Usually, when Ayun got angry, the grassroots patriarch would come out to smooth things over. Now the grassroots patriarch is not here, Hongye is not there, Languo is not there, and Qiu refuses to say anything... No way, Qingyan can only bite the bullet and come by himself : "Ah Yun... Everyone knows it's wrong, so let's...let's talk about this first, huh?"

Xiao Yun nodded at Qingyan, it was only at this moment that he realized that the people who sang red faces were busy outside and didn't stop the car for a while, now that Qingyan came to pick up the trouble, naturally he had to give Qingyan face.

After calming down, Xiao Yun looked at Balke: "Balk, how much is the mill's output now?"

After becoming the person in charge of the flour mill, Balck also appeared at the work meeting. He was quite novel at first, but now he is very boring... They are all talking about some serious and nerve-wracking things. Neither is fun.

"The 600 million catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes have consumed more than 400 million catties, and now the stock of sweet potato flour and vermicelli is about 80 catties."

"Why is the progress so slow?" Xiao Yun frowned.

"The manpower is small. You said you would add people to me, but ten people were lost. This kind of people are almost exhausted from stepping on the machine. And me, it's really super exhausting to do the fan drying work by myself. Yes!" Balck exclaimed immediately.

"Okay, don't say there are some, you should hurry up and process all the vermicelli before next month. Next time St. Bridge's fleet comes over, we must make sure to provide them with at least 50 catties of vermicelli to open up the southern mainland market. , the supply to the forest elves must not be less than last time." Xiao Yun waved his hand, too lazy to listen to his reasons.

Balk pouted and stared at Xiao Yun resentfully, what is the concept of draining tens of thousands of catties of water from vermicelli every day? !

"Qiuqiu, how about the wool production?" Xiao Yun looked at Qiu.

"It's all been processed, and I'm busy dyeing it now." Qiu's chest straightened out. As a manly manul, he absolutely couldn't allow the piece he was in charge of to slow down. He had more than 70 small cats rushing to work day and night. It will make Ah Yun say a bad word.

Xiao Yun nodded at Chongqiu approvingly, as expected of Qiuqiu, he was reliable in doing things, and he never had to worry about it.

Compared with Qiuqiu, other people's responsibility is not very satisfactory, Xiao Yun has to tell them to go over one by one.

"Flooding, green grass, the yield of potatoes harvested in the last batch dropped to 2000 catties per mu. This is a bad sign. This batch must pay attention to the work of watering and fertilizing the land. Now we have small canals and shovel forest land. The range can be expanded again, if the fertility cannot keep up, the field will reduce our yield, which is not good.”

"Uncle Ah Shan, the production of cement bricks can't keep up with the consumption of Languo's recently. You have to pay close attention to it. Work overtime when you have to. Don't indulge yourself when others tell you that you are tired."

"The production progress of the Huoyan patriarch's cement factory has been maintained very well, but there is still room to work harder. Uncle Ashan's brick factory and Languo's engineering team have to rely on the Huoyan patriarch's supply. Please work harder... "

"The workers in this cement factory have been working for three months, and they need to be replaced. Now let's discuss replacement candidates..."

The working environment of the cement factory is relatively harsh. At first, Xiao Yun planned to change the staff every year. Later, he found that the lung capacity of the snow wolves was much higher than that of humans. It becomes a change every three months... Anyway, it is a manual job with little technical content, and there is no need to worry about the difficulty of getting started.

Don’t talk nonsense, just talk about business. After a work meeting, it takes at least an hour to get the bottom line. It's amazing. After a busy day and a meeting, no one has the energy to play.

Especially for the last batch of more than one hundred snow werewolves who joined the Huoyan Tribe, the five-month high-intensity and high-intensity work arrangement is indeed a bit overwhelming, and they still need to adapt...

The excavation of the small canal does not mean that the engineering team can relax. The reason is that after inspecting the surrounding terrain of the tribe many times, Xiao Yun decided to extend the direction of the tribe's development to the hilly area in the southwest and implement the plan to transfer the industrial area there. On paper, it is obvious that the next major task of the engineering team is to repair the road first.

The smelting work of the gray dwarves is carried out directly in the coal production area and the iron production area. Needless to say, there is another advantage if the industrial area is relocated to that area. Industrial sewage can be directly discharged into the underground world... cough cough!

To build such a road with a length of [-] kilometers and a width of at least five meters is no less difficult than digging through a small canal. The engineering team will have to spend at least a year to get there. After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Yun I also accepted it... Road engineering is better than building a house and paving the ground to train people, so it should be regarded as military training.

"Manpower is still not enough!" Xiao Yun sighed from the bottom of his heart as he sat on the kang to modify the tribe's development plan.

Qingyan, who was sleeping next to him, opened his eyes and stared at him for a long time, then silently turned over and pointed his butt at him... Will there be enough hands for you?

Qingyan was not mistaken about Xiao Yun at all. After autumn, the three snow wolf tribes in the central part who chose to migrate hurriedly walked for more than four months to the Huoyan tribe. Two hundred people looked at him in amazement The group of buildings created by the same clan looked more like the King’s Court of the Tiger Clan. Before they had time to search their brains to find some exclamation words to describe it, they were immediately dragged to the construction site by Xiao Yun——Digging road foundations does not require skills, Just have physical strength!Cultivate collective concept work habits first and then assign to other positions!

The progress of the engineering team here is speeding up, and there is a problem with the goblins who are responsible for digging the limestone...the number of goblins is too small!Mined limestone is not available!

"There are not enough people!" Xiao Yun babbled again, and every day he had to look at the east of the tribe countless times...

After less than half a month, another tribe came. This time, more than 80 people came to the limestone mining site without overnight, holding a steel drill in their left hand and a hammer in their right. Limestone quarry dug down.

Ten days later, another tribe came...

While the Snowwolf horde devoured the workforce with monstrous speed, St. Bridge's fleet arrived at Elvenport.

The temperament of Prince Carlisle, who has a lot of wind and frost on his face, is completely different from when he met Xiao Yun last year. He got off the boat and heard that the "End of Illusion" illusionist Sean was staying at the Adventurer's Association branch, so he immediately prepared gifts. Make a home visit.

The association's branch looks like a street tavern that can be seen everywhere. Carlisle, accompanied only by alchemist Tim Humphrey, pushed open the fan-shaped door and stepped into the lobby. The oncoming turbid smell made Tim subconsciously shudder. Frowning, Carlisle was unmoved.

"The End of Illusion" sat in front of the bar and saw the young prince. The illusionist with a youthful appearance smiled and raised his hand casually: "Isn't this Carlisle?"

"Mr. Sean." Carlisle strode through several tables of high-talking adventurers, walked up to him and bowed slightly, with a natural and appropriate smile, as polite and intimate as a young man meeting an old friend of his father's generation.

"The last time we met was at Elliott Palace. The youthful young man at that time is now a well-known promising young man in the Southern Continent." Sean chuckled, "Your teacher always said you were His best disciple, now it seems that my old friend is really a very real person."

These words seemed to be compliments, but no matter how they sounded harsh, Tim looked a little displeased, but Carlisle just smiled shyly.The bad habit of spellcasters is to tease young people with provocative words and take pleasure in their gaffes when they can't control their emotions. Carlisle doesn't intend to cooperate with this bad habit.

Primo, who was wearing a messenger uniform, looked at Tim and Carlisle playfully at the bar, and slowly wiped the glass with a clean rag.

"The image of you in Elliott Palace is very deep in my memory, Mr. Sean. It is no exaggeration to say that I think those words that describe wise elders exist for you." Prince Carlisle replied very earnestly.

Sean's expression froze.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Please forgive me for not having time to prepare a gift that fits your status. I think a wise elder like you shouldn't care about such a place with an ignorant young man like me." Prince Carlisle He took the gift box from Tim and handed it over respectfully.

The corner of Sean's mouth twitched, no answer, no answer.

"This young gentleman is really likable." Primo suppressed a smile, poured two glasses of wine and put them on the bar counter, "Please sit down, two, I hope our wine here can meet your taste."

"Thank you." Carlisle nodded slightly at Primo, still holding the gift and smiling at Sean, with a respectful demeanor and perfect etiquette.

No way, Xiao En had no choice but to reach out to take the gift, and he didn't bother to fake a smile on his face. He turned his face and rolled his eyes: "His Royal Highness is really impressive, that old-fashioned old man can actually teach such a disciple."

Prince Carlisle relaxed a lot, picked up the wine glass in one hand, and said with a smile: "To be honest, Mr. Sean, I had an extra teacher two years ago."

"Oh, what kind of famous teacher did St. Bridge invite for you?" Sean asked unexpectedly.

Sean has a bad relationship with the priest who baptized Carlisle and gave him his middle name. Carlisle is well aware of this. It is a problem that Carlisle has to solve - of course he can't say what his relationship with the priest teacher is, and this way of expression will only make a great magician like Xiao En look down on him, so he has to make the other party understand his first position. The importance of the two teachers to him.

"This teacher, whom I respect and love very much, is a resident of the Northern Continent. I must say that my teacher is the wisest man I have ever met. He has had a profound influence on me, allowing me to truly understand my shortcomings and teaching How do I face my own shortcomings." Prince Carlisle directly expressed his feelings, it is unnecessary to lie before the powerful perception of the caster, and he does not need to lie at all.

"... Oh?" ​​Sean frowned, and he remembered something... St. Bridge's second prince, Carlisle Harvey Ferdinand, began to show amazing qualities of a crown prince two years ago.

Primo, the head of the association branch pretending to be a waiter, also remembered the connection between them, and couldn't help but look at Carlisle more.

Prince Carlisle stopped talking, he put down his wine glass, took out two silver coins and put them on the bar, nodded slightly: "The wine you mixed is really delicious." Then he bowed to Sean, "It makes me very happy to see you Glad, Mr. Xiao En, if you wish, please be sure to show your face to attend the reception I hold on the ship in two days, and I will send someone to send you an invitation letter later."

Sean: "..."

His Royal Highness Prince Carlisle, who had won a great victory, left with his head held high. Sean stared blankly at his back.

"Block the way for the other party to refuse before sending out the invitation. This young Highness is not much worse than those old-fashioned politicians?" Primo retracted his glass and said jokingly.

"This kind of little devil has learned to tease other people's appetites. He really doesn't know how to respect the elders." Xiao En complained angrily.

Complaints belong to complaints, and Sean’s curiosity was indeed raised by Carlisle. Royal families of all sizes in the Southern Continent will openly hire teachers on the mainland to educate the descendants of the royal family, but what kind of famous teachers can they hire? Can they teach excellent teachers? It depends on luck... It is too common for a famous teacher to teach a prodigal son, and it is so common that spell casters are not qualified to use it as talk.

"This kid has indeed changed a lot in the past two years. At least he didn't know how to hide the edge in the scabbard when the old-fashioned guy in Elliott Palace took him. Primo, tell me... this little guy has worshiped an elf?"

"My friend, do you think there will be a wise man in the elves who would look up to a prince from a small human kingdom?" Primo asked back.

"Obviously." Sean spread his hands, "This is the strangest place. Besides the elves, who else can live in this land, it can't be the tauren."

"It's hard to say, the tauren are just overly greedy for peace. If they are willing, the northern continent of Bloomfield can be more lively." Primo said.

"You are really old, Primo, and you yourself said that the tauren's bad habit is that they miss peace too much, so will their wise men teach human disciples how to fight?" Sean laughed, "Your Highness The current glory was built on the top of your own big brother. In addition... exchanging benefits with the forest elves in exchange for them to come forward to resist the pressure of the Lamia Chamber of Commerce, and also pulled your Adventurers Association on board. Not the tauren way."

Primo is used to being hurt by Xiao En when he catches the opportunity. Anyway, he doesn't care much when no outsiders are present: "Then, according to your opinion, who should the young man's teacher be?"

Sean stood up, leaned on the bar with his hand and approached his old friend: "If you want me to guess... Did Wilville secretly revive from somewhere?"

Primo rolled his eyes, and pushed Sean back to sit down angrily: "Okay, do you think I will scream in panic and let you laugh at me!"

Sean laughed.

Carlisle and Tim walked a long way, and they both exhaled at the same time.

"I only heard that 'God of War' Primo is here, but I didn't expect 'End of Illusion' to come here too." Tim frowned, "He's not very friendly...Carlisle, is it a bit abrupt to invite him to the reception? "

"It's nothing. Sean is a great magician after all. Compared with those who are really annoying, he is much cuter and easier to deal with." Carlisle shook his head and smiled, "Teacher Ayun said that the so-called maturity is You have to bite the bullet and smile at the person who hates you. The more you can’t provoke him, the more you have to laugh. Only in this way can you buy time to accumulate strength and make a comeback... It sounds simple, but it makes sense .”

"It's tiring just listening to it." Tim sighed.

"Is there anything that can be done easily? Even if it's punching someone, it takes time to develop a strong arm." Carlisle put his arm around Tim's shoulder, "This time we have prepared such a It won't be long, just watch the confrontation in two days... Tim, you go to Teacher Ayun's tribe, stay there for a few days, and come back after the matter is resolved."

"Carlisle, I..."

"Needless to say, this is not evasion, and the only way to solve a problem is to face the enemy head-on. As long as it works, 'tactics' can be whatever you want." Carlisle winked at him.

Tim was so moved that he didn't know what to say, so he nodded silently.
