Wolf King

Chapter 192 I want people and money!

Picking up fresh sweet potatoes with the fragrance of soil and about the thickness of a fist from the field ridges, the big cats of the Qingtian Tribe were overjoyed and moved, and couldn't help crying...

"What are you crying for? Hurry up and collect the sweet potatoes and soybeans." The emotionless white-faced cat...uh...the black-faced cadre Qingyan urged.

The big cats who were spurred by Qingyan to make the whole cat reborn hurriedly scattered to work.

Harvesting is joy, and harvesting through pain and suffering is also joy. More than 6000 acres of sweet potatoes were harvested at the same time. Even with the use of the machine borrowed from the Ministry of Fire and Fire, more than [-] acres of sweet potatoes were harvested after getting up early in the morning. The big cats can guess with their knees that they are assigned to work overtime at night; but every day There is still a smile on my face... Even the hard work of dragging the sweet potato machine is being rushed to do it.

Hmm... Since sweet potato flour is regarded as the main product, the Huoyan Department must study the mechanical tools that can be produced in terms of sowing, planting, and harvesting.

This machine for harvesting sweet potatoes is a rectangular iron frame trailer slightly wider than the ridge of the field. A conveyor device similar to an elevator or a conveyor belt is welded in the middle. At the same time, the gear on the wheel at the rear of the trailer is selected to drive the transmission device, and the shovel head will be deep into the ground to turn out the sweet potatoes with mud, and then sent to the rear, and then fall to the field ridges one by one; The hoe digs slowly to save trouble.

The sweet potato harvester needs to shovel out the sweet potatoes in the soil, and its own weight is quite considerable... Coupled with the resistance when dragging, it requires big cats to transform into animal shapes to drag; of course, this thing is much lighter than the triangular plow, The big cats pull quickly on all fours in their animal form, and they don't get tired so easily.

Patriarch Yongzhen and others followed Qiu to the sweet potato field of the Qingtian Tribe, and what they saw was such a magnificent sight——

In the lush farmland with no end in sight, in the distance, animalized fellows ran joyously pulling a weird long iron frame. Digging out of the soil; nearby fellows dragged bags, baskets and other tools to squat in the field to pick up sweet potatoes, and they were able to pick up half a box full of sweet potatoes in a short time.

The vine leaves mixed in the soil were also dug out and bundled, and thrown to the edge of the field to pile up, like a hill. (For pig feeding & composting)

"Qiuqiu is here." Qingyan came out to greet him, and greeted his well-known clan with a smile, "Patriarch Yongzhen, long time no see."

Patriarch Yongzhen reluctantly diverted his eyes from the harvest of sweet potatoes, and forced a smile at Qingyan.

The big cats that were not greeted by Qingyan all stared blankly at the baskets of sweet potatoes that were dragged out.

Half a year ago, when Qiu persuaded them to cooperate with the Huoyan Department to "contract" the sweet potato farm, he specially invited these same people to have a sweet potato feast... After all, sweet potato flour is not the same, and it is difficult for people who have not visited the flour mill to understand what sweet potato is. How to turn it into a delicious vermicelli, but the way to eat sweet potatoes is not just to make vermicelli; it can be baked, steamed, boiled, or eaten raw. Very flavorful, the Amber Tribe immediately nodded in agreement after eating the sweet potato feast.

These big cats who had eaten the sweet potato meal in the past, looked at the baskets full of sweet potatoes that couldn’t fit, and naturally recalled their original experience in their minds—these things that were dug out of the mud were all food. ah!

Qiu turned his head to look at the stunned fellow clansmen, and smiled at Qingyan: "Qingyan, what is the yield per mu of sweet potatoes on the Qingtian tribe's farm, and how much can they harvest?"

"It's okay. Although it was the first year of land reclamation and the land has not yet been matured, the black soil dug from the tidal flats in the south is quite fertile. I calculated it just now, and the yield of one mu of land is about 4000 catties." Qingyan smiled knowingly, "The Qingtian Tribe planted 2000 mu of sweet potatoes, and the total harvest should be more than 70 million catties. Sixty percent goes to them. If we exchange [-] catties of sweet potatoes for a catty of vermicelli, we can earn [-] to [-] catties of vermicelli."

Qiu didn't hear someone gasp behind him, and knew that these guys had no idea about too big a number, so he continued to act and pretended to be surprised: "Oh? It's not bad, I remember that the Qingtian tribe seems to have more than 300 tribesmen , If you take it back and share one point, wouldn’t each person get more than 2000 catties? Tsk tsk, one catty of noodles can be eaten for a day, and the Qingtian tribe has earned back several years of rations."

This time, Qiu was finally satisfied to hear the inhalation sound of a hundred big cats behind him...

Patriarch Yongzhen's eyes widened, his jaw dropped—wait, what did he hear? !More than a hundred people are busy for half a year, how many years can they support them all? !

Seeing Qiu's happy face, Qingyan suppressed a smile and accompanied him in the performance, and nodded vigorously: "It's not bad, the other two thousand acres of soybeans are not as high as sweet potatoes. I checked, and one acre of land can produce Three hundred catties is not bad. Three 10,000+ catties of soybeans, in exchange for salt and spices, will be gone after three or four years."

Qiu was delighted again to hear the heaving sound of gasping behind him... The whole rabbit man's eyebrows were beaming: "By the way, they won't be able to finish their work here until it's about to snow, and they don't know the pasture that will be distributed to them." Is there enough for their cattle and sheep to survive the winter?"

"It's definitely enough." Qingyan said without hesitation, "If you don't pick the land for pasture, water and fertilizer can keep up with the output. Two months ago, each of their families sent back the last crop of pasture; At this point, there are only a million catties of pasture grass, and there are many sunny tribes, a total of 150 million catties. In addition to this harvest, it is enough for their cattle and sheep until next summer."

After a pause, Qingyan smiled again: "The harvest is not a problem, it is difficult to transport it back. It is good that the Qingtian tribe is close, but the Kong tribe mobilized the tribe to move like ants. It took a long time to move... This time we can get Settle the share for them as soon as possible, otherwise the things may not be shipped even if it snows."

The big cats can no longer make a sound, and the eyes of hundreds of eyes are full of envy, jealousy and hatred...

"It's true, then collect the sweet potatoes early and load the car early, and go back to the tribe to exchange some waste time." Qiuxi smiled and rolled up her sleeves, and greeted back, "Since everyone is here, why don't you come and help me?" , it’s not a waste of time.”

Patriarch Yongzhen and the others glared at Qiu painfully, why didn't this sound right? !

Afterwards, the group of big cats who came to visit were passively pulled into the autumn harvest army...even the dinner was sent to the farm by the cafeteria to sit on the ridge of the field to eat.

In the middle of the moon, for some reason, the patriarch Yongzhen and others who had been working for a long time dragged their tired bodies back to the farm with the Qingtian Tribe; they saw the independent living areas of each tribe, and the big cats of the Qingtian Tribe carefully crafted to meet the needs of the cat clan. The house I like, the working conditions provided by the Snow Wolf Clan, envy, jealousy and hatred come to my heart again...

Patriarch Yongzhen didn't know what other people felt, but his gums were bleeding from his teeth—why wasn't he as proud as Patriarch Hu Po at that time? !

He secretly gritted his teeth in remorse, and the soldiers who accompanied him always looked at him with resentful eyes, Patriarch Yongzhen was very worried... If he knew that agreeing to the Fire Department would bring so many benefits, he would be a fool if he didn't agree!

That night, Patriarch Yongzhen lay in the temporary house lent to them by the Qingtian Tribe and couldn't sleep all night. When he closed his eyes, he could see countless sweet potatoes, vermicelli, salt, spices, and grass floating in front of his eyes. He wanted to reach out but couldn't. If you stare at it in a daze, you will quickly wake up from the dream.

Patriarch Yongzhen, who really couldn't sleep, got up quietly, sneaked out, and walked towards the residence of the Huoyanbu cat clan.

As soon as he walked out of the Qingtian tribe's dormitory area, Patriarch Yongzhen found out in embarrassment... many figures appeared in the darkness, looking in the direction, the purpose seemed to be similar to his own.

More than a dozen cat patriarchs looked at each other, and the air was suffocating...

There are a lot of things to do in autumn, so I went back the next day. The big cats who stayed here for a week lived in the farm for a week, and helped four tribes to complete the work of harvesting sweet potatoes and soybeans. As Qiu said, each of the four families paid [-] catties of vermicelli to hire these big cats to do small labor, so that they could carry some harvest back home. As Qiu said, they would not run away in vain.

Patriarch Yongzhen and other big cats help the harvest, and help the four tribes push the flatbed truck to send the harvest to the Huoyan Ministry, and watch the four tribes exchange a large amount of vermicelli and spices with the Huoyan Ministry for their share of the output Salt, a small amount of miscellaneous daily necessities; each carrying more than [-] catties of vermicelli from hard work, watching others with pain and happiness worrying about how to bring back so many necessities...

It is better for the Sunny Tribe who are close, just run two more times, foot strength has never been a problem for the grassland people; the far away Kong Tribe will have to go to war, and all the strong people of the clan ran over , the transportation queue is quite long...

Patriarch Yongzhen and six warriors of his clan, who came home from the same direction, stood by the side of the road and watched hundreds of big cats dragging or carrying them, the fiery queue and the smoke and dust billowing into the distance.

The soldiers swallowed their saliva in unison, and looked at their patriarch with the resentful eyes that had been practiced these days very standard.

Patriarch Yongzhen: "..."

A soldier said distastefully, "Patriarch, shall we come next year?"

"Come!" Patriarch Yongzhen gritted his teeth, "Not only to rent their farm, but our whole clan moved here—anyway, our tribe only has more than 200 people, and there are not many cattle and sheep. We will move after winter."

"Really?" The soldier's eyes lit up, and he was worried again, "Can the Fire Ministry agree, there are still cubs in our tribe who can't do anything."

The head of the Yongzhen tribe let out a long breath: "Don't worry about this, I asked Qingyan, and he promised me that if our whole clan moves here, he will choose a place for us to raise cattle and sheep... The conditions are better than those of the Qingtian tribe. "

The soldiers were smiling, and they didn't blame the patriarch for losing his eyesight. They happily supported the patriarch to go home...

In the fire department, in Xiao Yun's mobile home, three big cats reported to Xiao Yun about the work progress of the Cat Clan Farm with joyful faces.

"Before the autumn harvest, we calculated the accounts for them. Their labor output is a lot of surplus, which exceeds the needs of life. After the accounts are calculated, they themselves ask the patriarch to exchange part of the vermicelli for the white cotton distributed to other tribes. Wool blankets, soap towels, combing brushes, etc.” Patriarch Arthur excitedly said, “Patriarch Qingtian and Patriarch Xiu originally disagreed, but after Patriarch Kong took the lead in agreeing, it was difficult for them to object. In addition, Patriarch Yongzhen and the others visited The performance of the farm during the period, next year, even if the patriarchs of these families are not willing to come, their clansmen will ask to come again."

Xia Hehe smiled: "If Patriarch Xiu doesn't insist on coming, the Xiu tribe might split up. In this year's work, Patriarch Xiu is the worst performer. Once Xiaohonghua didn't get it but has been leading the management quota. They Several fighters in the tribe are already very dissatisfied."

Qing Yan also said: "Indeed, even Patriarch Qingtian's performance has improved a lot since the first grass harvest, and he has received more than 20 little red flowers. In contrast, Patriarch Xiu's performance is particularly ugly."

Xiao Yun stroked his chin and nodded: "From this point of view, the Xiu tribe can be considered as a priority. Have you figured out the location of their tribe?"

"I know where the Xiu Tribe is. I went there with Maomao and the others before, and it's a day longer than the Qingtian Tribe." Xia Dao said, "If the Xiu Tribe hasn't arrived after the Sunny Tribe arrives next year, we can go and see the situation. Bring as many people as possible. The most convincing fighters in their tribe, except Patriarch Xiu, are relatively close to our Fire Department. I have hinted to him that we can provide a place to feed cattle and sheep. Although he did not directly express his position, I think he It can be won."

Xiao Yun was very satisfied... This guy Xia is indeed a born bad guy, he will use all kinds of tricks to achieve his goal, being a teammate is not bad, and it is not in vain for the past few years of training.

Qingyan was not happy with Xia's limelight, changed his previous low-key style, and said: "There are twelve families who are as determined as Yongzhen to move the tribe. Ayun, I think these twelve families can be placed in the new area near the hills. , The underground world is exported to the east plain, where water is convenient, and the agricultural products produced by these six stables can also be provided to the hilly new area, reducing the transportation pressure."

The new hilly area in the red leaf belt has sent more than 500 snow wolves past. These people do not farm, but follow the gray dwarves of Balu to mine, smelt, and forge. The reserved phosphate fertilizer factory is also going to be built there... The sewage channel at the entrance to the underground world is not in vain.As long as you don't drain the sewage towards the underground city, the dark elves won't come to trouble Xiao Yun anyway—how big is the underground world!

"It is indeed feasible." Xiao Yun nodded. Such an old person had to transport all his daily needs from the Ministry of Fire and Flame. Although Languo's engineering team had repaired the road, it was quite stressful.

Qingyan cast a smug look at Xia, and then reported the number of mouths, the number of cattle and sheep, the area of ​​farmland that can be contracted, and so on.

Xiao Yun, who was worried about the floods in the past two years because of the heavy rain, ran there countless times, and has a deep memory of the surrounding terrain... Goblin Baron, Garr and others used to live nearby.

The area of ​​that piece of land is not too big, and it can cover about [-] to [-] square kilometers. If it is nomadic, such a pasture can accommodate at most one tribe to survive. If it is farming, it is no problem for twelve tribes to live together. Ten times more can be accommodated - this is the advantage of farming civilization over nomadic civilization.

"In the future, let's gather the cat clan. Let's use the hilly new area as the boundary. Only go down, not up. The closer to the south, the higher the temperature in summer, which is more suitable for farming." After a pause, Xiao Yun continued, "The most important thing , the farther away from Samar Snow Mountain, the better.”

The three big cats immediately became serious.

"The three of you were absent at the meeting the day before yesterday, so I'll make it up for you now." Xiao Yun said seriously, "Elder Mei Li from Anas came here in person last week and asked about the size of the vermicelli transaction for the whole of next year. Whether to expand to 3000 million catties, I have already agreed. This year 2000 million, next year 3000 million, so many vermicelli can not be consumed by hundreds of thousands of forest elves, that is to say, the excess part will be sold by the forest elves After the soy sauce trade, the dwarf kingdom indirectly opened the door to us in the vermicelli trade."

"As for the dark elves, Angeloto, our transportation team sent a letter from the mistress of the dark elves, hoping that we can deliver 500 million catties of vermicelli to the dungeon before the snow falls. This is the first time that the dark elves have asked us for a large amount. With the transaction, the gate of the dungeon is also opened to us."

"Next, it's Cronin on the other side of the Inland Sea. This year we shipped a total of 400 million jin of vermicelli to Bolton in two parts. Laura helped us open Cronin's vermicelli market. Sent a transaction request."

Breathing lightly, Xiao Yun said with a serious face: "Everyone understands, the surrounding forces that can deploy troops to our Fire Department to attack us are at least temporarily friendly with us in terms of trade. And the snow elves, every year After the transaction volume of vermicelli reached 50 catties, it has not increased anymore... Whether the snow elves have a high food self-sufficiency rate or other reasons, we need to keep a safe distance from the snow elves... and be vigilant."

The three big cats nodded solemnly... This is the difference between the cat clan and the snow wolf clan. During the meeting before, Ah Shan said stupidly, "Selena, Yaerlin and us have such a good relationship. Come and hit us", the cat tribe would definitely not think so.

Xia, a born bad boy, thought about it for a while, and said: "Then what about the tauren, except for the occasional gifts we send, the tauren have never bought anything from us."

"Tauren's words, it's good to keep them at a respectful distance." Xiao Yun smiled, "The environmental carrying capacity required for grazing and farming is different. If you live on grazing, the entire grassland can't support tens of thousands of people, and farming, we take up 10 people. In the southeast corner of the city, it is not difficult to raise a million mouths, and there is no conflict with the tauren. The tiger tribe is out of their minds and provoke them, let's not follow the crooked path that the tiger tribe took."

The big cats couldn't help laughing, and every time they heard the words of crossing the river by touching the tiger clan, they wanted to laugh.

"In addition to this, there is another matter." Xiao Yun said seriously, "Tomorrow night, the tribe will have a meeting to discuss the purchase of ships, and invest this year's profits in purchasing sea ships. Now that the weather is getting colder, I plan to let Isaac and the others Accompany the people in our tribe to rent a boat from the Transport Department of the Adventurers Association to send a batch of pork and rabbit meat to Valentine for sale, and complete the vermicelli transaction with the new owner of Valentine. But the cost of renting a boat is too high every time, relatively Our profit will drop, so we might as well buy the ship ourselves.”

"Based on the industrial level of our hilly new area, we won't be able to produce ships that can cross the inland sea within ten years. Before that, we could only buy them. The tribe has its own sea caravan, and we can sell more of our products to The human kingdom...there is a big market with hundreds of millions of people! A few breakthroughs in the northern countries are enough for us to eat."

"Can't you just sell it to the forest elves and St. Bridge?" Chief Arthur said in surprise.

"It's not impossible, but the sales channel is too single and too dependent on outsiders, which is not good for our production side." Xiao Yundao, "As you all know, we grassland people must stand up and prevent others from being bullied at will. We need people. In terms of people, we are working hard to develop the cat clan into our companions and expand our team. In terms of money, we can't be stuck by people."

The big cats nodded again... If there were people who didn't understand why Ah Yun used the materials he worked so hard to produce in exchange for seemingly useless metals at the earliest time, now, even the most stupid and cute Ah Shan I won’t say this anymore—after everyone’s saved furs are almost consumed, St. Bridge’s spices, white cotton cloth, sugar and other materials will have to be bought with money; There are ores that cannot be produced in the new area, special metals, spell-casting materials needed by cat casters, aluminum powder from snow elves... and so on.

"I'm not good at doing business, but I can guarantee that within five years, we can gather at least tens of thousands of cat clan companions." Qing Yan is full of confidence, "Let's work harder in the past two years and create a few more farms As a model, the more successful examples, the more convincing and convincing our fellow race. As long as they come, it is only a matter of time before they become 'our own people'."

Xia originally wanted to open his mouth to express his determination, but he didn't expect that Qingyan would take the lead when he was a step too late, so he was very upset.

Xiao Yun nodded in praise and said: "Well said, we just need to have the courage to make things happen." After a pause, he said, "Let me explain to you first, the farm is on the right track, and you Observe the people under your command more, and see who can be promoted. When the time is right, we will also pull out a cat tribe team to train with Mao Mao's warrior team."

Qingyan didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Yun's words, so he responded immediately; Xia's expression changed slightly; Patriarch Arthur said very directly: "Eh? The cat tribe also wants to produce fighters?"

"The cat tribe has magical talent, of course it should be brought out." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "When the cat tribe spellcasters brought by Evelyn successfully advance to the second level, our cat tribe mage group instructor will have .”

Yu's team of half-time warriors (who still have to work during busy seasons) has expanded to 500 after bringing back the snow wolf tribe in the eastern grassland half-forcibly. Yu didn't move when the tribe exchanged centaurs, and only let Xiaohua lead the veterans there.

It may not be worth mentioning that a team of 500 warriors is replaced by other races. If it is all snow wolf warriors, the gold content will be high-the snow wolf tribe is born with a high coordination of group cooperation and combat capabilities. The larger the wolf pack, the stronger the combat effectiveness Strong; if this group of fighters can be trained to Yu's satisfaction, they will not hesitate to face the Tiger Clan head-on.

This is still under the current situation that more manpower is required for tribal construction and it is impossible to allow more adult snow werewolves to participate in training on a half-time basis. When the results of aerodynamic research are obtained and mechanized planting can reduce the manpower demand of 26 agricultural production teams, the warrior team can still Expand again.

After Xiao Yun said this, Xia, who was still a little bit excited, calmed down... He didn't want to be a spellcaster or something.

After talking about the business, the big cats got up and left to do their own business.Xiao Yun didn't have time to spare, and frantically used his brain to think about the problem he had considered for two days - should he take this opportunity to propose a deal with the dark elf mistress, exchanging vermicelli for gray dwarves.

In the news that Mu Mu sent back, the dark elves actually used skilled workers like gray dwarves as cannon fodder on the battlefield. The corners of Xiao Yun's mouth twitched uncontrollably when he heard it, and his heart ached beyond measure—are you dark elves sick? ? !

You must know that among all races, only the human race is not restricted by the estrus period, and the dwarves are also difficult to reproduce!

If one gray dwarf dies, one will be lost, and if one is lost, it will take at least 30 years to make up the gap, dear!

But it’s not okay to ask to trade gray dwarves rashly, the reason is very simple-this group of dark elves are shrewd and full of evil, if they find out that the fire department has a need for gray dwarves, the cliff lion will open up!

In this regard, the dark elves have countless bad records... It's not without reason that they are blackmailed by all races.

With the ruthless methods shown by that woman An Qiluo, if she sees that Xiao Yun is in urgent need of gray dwarves, it might not even be possible to temporarily expel the food store of the Snow Wolf Clan and force Xiao Yun to bow his head and suffer a loss. If you use it roughly...that would be disgusting.

"It's better to go to the underground world to steal people!" Xiao Yundan sighed in pain.

"Huh?!" Xiao Yun was startled, "Wait... This is not impossible?! 500 million catties of vermicelli, a total of [-] tons, such a large amount has to be transported from the entrance of our underground world to the underground city , even if we are snow werewolves, we should go for at least ten days—no, at least half a month!"

"The underground world is so big and the terrain is so complicated! I accidentally went the wrong way and ran into the gray dwarf village, and moved the whole village away - it doesn't matter if I don't get discovered!!"

Xiao Yun's eyes glowed green, his facial muscles twitched, and he showed an extremely ferocious smile: "Vaniaoqian, gray dwarves...children make choices!"
