Wolf King

The area between the back of the woolen mill and the marshland has been operating for several years, and it has planted large-scale orchards for the snow wolves.

To what extent is the orchard... to the extent of "invasion" of the marshland.

There were at least a dozen square kilometers of swamps. Over the years, the Ministry of Fire has been digging mud to fill the earth and fill the gravel and yellow mud dug out when building houses and roads. It has been "eliminated" by nearly half... …

The remaining half is also shrinking visibly with the naked eye every year-the natural channel that brings water and sediment through this place. The river is mostly taken away by the canal, and there is no chance of flooding. The swamp is wet.

When the sky no longer snowed and the thick snow all over the grassland began to melt, a group of half-big snow wolf cubs passed through an orchard with an area of ​​about 800 hectares and appeared at the junction of the orchard and shrinking swamp.

"Work!" A cub raised the shovel and shouted loudly.

"Oh~~" The other cubs rushed into the swamp submerged in the snow with tools such as iron fiber hammer picks and picks.

What these half-size boys and girls want to do is to shovel away the snow accumulated in the swamp all winter, so as not to leave the swamp with an opportunity to increase moisture after snowing...

Under the incessant brainwashing of Xiao Yun’s eight years of hard work, the fighting spirit of “moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, people will win the sky” has gradually been understood and accepted by the people of the tribes; What else can we do with the land used for land consolidation?

When the half-size boys tossed the swamp, the adults were not idle.

The greatest impact of the popularization and application of agricultural machinery on the Ministry of Fire is that agricultural workers are no longer tied tightly. It turned out that a farm can be managed by at least two hundred people. Now, as long as one hundred people can manage it properly.

With the two agricultural production bases of the Snakes and Cats, Xiao Yun can be relatively calm in opening up wasteland and expanding soil without having to rush to expand the scale and number of farms.

So, he could draw 3,000 people to work on the big project he had long wanted to do-the tributary of the upper reaches of the river of the earth.

I have been frantically testing on the verge of flooding year after year. Although luck has been okay for these years, there is no irreparable flooding situation, but I can’t expect God to be reasonable forever?

On the southwestern side of the grassland, the terrain is concave downwards. On the left is the forest of elves inhabited by the forest elves, and on the right is the slowly rising terrain that leads to the middle.

The oldest grassland aboriginal Tauren lived either in the east, in the middle, or in the easternmost part of the southwest border, where the terrain began to climb upwards... In other words, although there is no "historical record", Xiao Yun has enough The reason is that there has been a great flood in the cliffs of this place, and there must be many times.

Four years ago, Xiao Yun ran to the northwestern part of the river and observed it. It originated from the upper reaches of the river in the Samal Snow Mountain. One of the tributaries flowed down the concave terrain to the southwestern part, along the natural channel formed for thousands of years. Divided into several strands, nourish and irrigate the entire southwestern region.

This is also the source of hidden dangers in the southwest region-from north to south and east, where the water flows depends on the mood of God~!

If in those years the rains were particularly flooded or the summers were particularly hot, the tributaries of the rivers diverted from the earth’s rivers could not be carried by the natural terrain, then the water would be free...

Then the people who live in the southwest are miserable... Mud soup takes a bath to find out.

Amidst the more bitter cold wind during the snowification, a group of densely packed snow werewolves appeared in the upper reaches of the river in the northwest. Standing on the side of a naturally formed low mountain range that stretches for tens of miles and does not exceed 200 meters above sea level, a natural river with a mirror surface that was washed out by thousands of years of river water appears in the In front of you.

"It's big and wide!" Ayue, the leader of the engineering team, exclaimed. What is the concept of a river that is more than 100 meters wide? Compared with the upper reaches of the river of the earth, the small river flowing through the front of the tribe and the artificial canal repaired by themselves are just like small water ditches.

"Okay, the Bray River we have seen in the central part is almost as wide." Warrior A Tian ran much outside, not as fussed as A Yue. "The river of the earth reached the central part, and it gathers multiple water sources, which is wider than here No one can see the other side."

The first team of surveying and mapping technicians and golden cat cub A Jiangdao said: "That is not the same. The river bed in the middle of the earth is deeper, and it is safe to live closer to the river. In this case..." Golden cat cubs with roughly the same wool pointed to the dwarf mountain range that they stepped on. "This mountain range is the security line in the northwest and southwest."

"You just saw the measurement just now. The terrain behind us is lower than the river in front of us."

A Tian stopped talking, and A Yue looked dignified.

After Lan Guo went to the sugar beet planting area, the engineering team also handed over to A Yue. Ayue is a person with a stiff and conservative personality. He always has a critical attitude towards any new things. This kind of character is more appropriate to be the leader of this engineering team. Any whimsical "good idea" cannot be persuaded. He can't put it into practice and avoid many intangible risks.

People who are too adventurous to engage in construction and engineering are also not suitable for sitting in decision-making positions. In this regard, the more stable the better...

A group of people walked east along the mountain beams of the low mountains, observed and measured the river bank and river bed in this place, and judged the change of water level from the vegetation density and moss height along the river bank.

After running for a whole day, Ayue and others returned to the camp of the large army, and studied the topographic map of the contours drawn by themselves until the middle of the night. Finally, Ayue made a final decision: "The too rash ideas are rejected, and it is still us. Dig a canal yourself to get out. Drain from the canyon mouth at the end of the mountain, dig to the northeast of the tribe, and lead to the sea near the middle. We have many canals, connecting the upper reaches of the river of the earth and the middle of the grassland. The irrigated land on both sides of the strait can be exploited in the future, which is suitable for the placement of cats."

Everyone in the tent nodded, some shook their heads...mainly because the amount of work was too large, even if there were 3,000 Snow Werewolves and relatively complete logistical support, it would not be possible to get in after spending two years.

"The manpower is a bit tighter, but it is better than taking risks." Ayue absolutely disagrees with a strategy that is not sufficiently secure, and immediately said, "The big deal is that we borrowed from the hilly new area, and the cats who were unwilling to farm also came over. Help. Digging mud and picking gravel and transporting cement don’t have to use your brain anyway, anyone can do it.”

Those who opposed this stupid solution had to turn their attention to the golden cat Ajiang.

Ajiang is the clan of the Arthur Patriarch. Unlike the Golden Cat brothers who raise pigs and become fat pigs in this tribe, this golden cat cub is a young genius with strong self-management ability; although out of The cat family is occasionally a bit skinny, such as the fact that Mawei was given to Evelyn...but it is still reliable in the matter.

Others considered the problem of insufficient manpower and too large a project and long construction period. After listening to A Yue's words, A Jiang's eyes lit up.

That’s right, Ayue is a stubborn faction who doesn’t know how to work around, but Ayue does look longer than others, and has considered the placement of the cat clan—Yu and Xiaohua have taken the warrior force to the original tiger clan’s court to collect the cat I went to look at the development process of two cat farms, and I knew with my knees that these recovered cats were not necessarily willing to honestly farm; then during the period of "grinding (taming) together (chemical)", the canal project was quite a bit It is a good training site.

After the acclimatization and training is completed, can it be put on the two sides of the Grand Canal to farm on the spot, is it not stable?

"In this case, we need to measure the entire route as soon as possible." A Jiang's eyes were bright. "So, I suggest that we start construction from the lower part of the canyon and follow the mountain range along the way a little bit to the southeast. Make use of natural terrain as much as possible. , You can save at least 10% to 20%..."

Although the topography of the southwestern region is concave, it is still relatively smooth overall. There is no such a bitter engineering difficulty in the karst landscape; Ajiang said that basically no one could object to Ayue’s proposal.

Just as the engineering team discussed how the project was to be carried out, Yu and Xiaohua's large army of soldiers had already arrived at the border between the southwest and the central region.

When you come to this place, you have to visit the tauren and give some gifts...

Tauren who lived a self-sufficient small life calmly, life has not changed much since the Lamia caravan did not come to the grassland-Lamia did not come again after the Tigers used the beast emperor to fill the hole in the underground world ——It is still sunrise and day and night. Whenever the team of snow wolf warriors comes, they will exchange their local products with the snow wolf warriors for daily necessities such as sauces, bottles and pots.

Not to mention the grace of the dripping water. The fire department was not under the care of the tauren during the start of the fire department. If you suddenly start a family, you will leave those who helped you behind your head. We can’t do this.

So, even if all the cats that can be collected in the southwest have been taken away, the soldiers will still send things to the Tauren tribe and share the knowledge of production and construction.

The ground is still covered with snow, and in the spring when the pipa is half-covered and dragged on the ground, the entire Fire Department has been busy, and the Tauren tribe still enjoys the pre-spring cultivation. Leisure time; when the soldiers entered the village of Tauren, all the people in the red brick house of the Tauren family were smoking in the chimneys of some households, some were preparing lunch slowly, and some were sweeping the snow with a broom , Some squatted by the river and smashed the ice to fish.

"Maomao, little flower!"

The red-eyed bull demon... uh... the old friend of the Snow Werewolf, Elder Saladin originally squatted by the river and took the twine to tie the earthworms to catch the shrimp. Lower the twine and greet him with arms spread enthusiastically.

"Elder Saladin!" Yu accelerated her pace and embraced Saladin.

Saladin loosened his feathers and hugged Xiaohua again.

Several calf heads that squatted with Saladin ran directly into the Snow Wolf clan's team, and their eyes lit up to the huge piggyback frame carried by the soldiers who changed wolf...

Saladin was a little embarrassed and took the head of the calf who tried to climb onto the back of others to lift the basket cover and took the soldiers to the tribe.

"The Snow Werewolf is coming~~" The heads of a few calves didn't mind, and ran to the front to cheer happily.

Soon, the big and small cow heads of various households came out from their homes...

Yu and Xiaohua moved a dozen baskets of goods into the courtyard of Patriarch Yellow Cow Hall, and showed the gifts (exchanges) brought this time to Patriarch Hall and Elder Saladin.

Needless to say, barbecue sauce, watercress sauce, tomato sauce, etc. Each time you come, you must bring a batch of refined salt, vinegar and MSG produced by the Ministry of Fire, and the packaged vermicelli also has two thousand pounds.

In addition to these, there are two baskets of tableware-kaolin-burned ceramic bowls and cups, alloy steel forks and spoons, and glass cups with plastic aprons (drops) on the outside.

These things are not specially prepared for tauren, but the rest of the place when changing the sun cloth and magic mineral powder with the forest elves and snow elves...The forest elves and snow elves are pretty good at eating. These unique commodities are exchanged with them. With security, replaced by the dark elves, the Fire Department would rather not do business.

Uh... it's not the black gangs, but the guys are indeed more pitted. Even if the tribe is now directly dealing with them in military food (powder noodles, sauces, compressed biscuits), it will only be delivered after receiving the full amount .

Dare to give the goods first and then ask for money like the forest elves and snow elves. Needless to say, the black skins are not accountable, they can do it all if they eat dry and wipe the net-Xiao Yun and Tang Anqiluo's black heart black skin How many times did Niu have dealt with each other!

Patriarch Hall and Elder Saladin both liked these artwork-like cutlery and carefully put them away. They will only leave some for their own use, others will be sent to other tauren tribes.

Although Tauren did not engage in large ethnic groups, they were quite united. Elder Saladin was betrayed by the cat clan and trapped in the tiger court. The clan elder went to other tauren tribes to borrow warriors. That was when the door came, and others followed the clan elder with their own dry food.

After receiving the gifts from the snow werewolf, the tauren people did not take advantage of the snow wolves. They swiftly packed the finely ground wheat flour and the polished rice from the bran and put them back into the empty pack.

To say that these exquisite commodities from the Ministry of Fire are the most loss-making ones for trading with Tauren...but the business also depends on people and land. There is no need to care about the true Madonna like Tauren.

After exchanging things, the soldiers stayed in the Hall tribe to eat, and chatted with these cow heads for a few days to deepen their feelings-mainly to inquire about the information, don’t look at the tauren only to spend a small life comfortably, regardless of the grassland The changes in the situation are not clearer than they are.

Why, because there will always be cats running to the door (playing autumn wind) and sending the news over...

From Saladin’s wife Qinkou, Yu and Xiaohua knew about a series of changes in the grassland this winter:

The more than one hundred tigers left by the Tiger King's court can only guarantee that the king's court and the mining area will not be infested by beasts and wandering Warcraft. They have no ability to manage the pastures and control the slaves in the pasture. Before the winter, they released all the cat slaves, only Leave the gray dwarf in the mine.

The vacant pastures have not yet been taken over by the cat tribe, but if the tiger tribe's strength cannot be restored, it is during the spring and summer that those pastures change their owners.

When Yu and Xiaohua heard this, they silently exchanged their gazes, thinking that the Tigers were completely gone, but they didn't expect to leave their hands to watch.

But this is not a problem... More than 400 snow wolf warriors have only a hundred heads, and they are divided into two batches of tiger warriors who care for Wang Ting and the mining area. The odds are still great-after more than three years of training, they are fully equipped. I couldn't beat it, the sweat of those years would be in vain.

The tauren does not care about the life and death of the Tigers, but it is a bit worried about the grasslands occupied by the Tigers. It is worried that the Cat tribes that have not been looted by the Tigers and still have the strength to clash for these grasslands.

Yu smiled and looked at the worried bullheads, saying: "Hall Patriarch, Elder Saladin, Qin, maybe we can solve this matter, or the dispute may be lowered."

In the surprised eyes of the tauren, Yu invited the Arthur patriarch and Xia who had started with the team.

The snow leopard Arthur and the spotted leopard mixed in the snow wolf warrior team did not attract the tauren at the beginning. They had long known that the snow wolf of the Ministry of Fire pulled 21 cat tribes in the southwestern region together for farming. The wasteland is...

Well, even if the Snow Werewolf doesn’t say it, the Tauren can perceive it themselves-more than 20 cat tribes no longer come to fight the autumn wind, can they count?

If it weren’t for the lack of autumn wind, the Tauren wouldn’t have so much food left, and he would have a good mood...

Patriarch Arthur and Xia cooperated to explain the cat farm plan to Patriarch Hall, Elder Saladin, and Qin. The three Tauren eyes were almost out of frame.

"Is this okay?" Qin shocked with a worried expression. "Cats, I don't mean you guys. Cats have a bad temper. It's easier to argue if they get together. What do you want?" Convince them to give up their original lives and move to the south?"

Chief Arthur smiled and said: "Of course it is impossible to persuade all cat tribes, but we can try it out one by one. If we are willing to go with us, we will take it away. By next year, if they feel like living with us, Better than before, then we will take them out again and find other cat tribes to show up."

Xia nodded and added: "We think about it, we can't worry about it, take five years to take it slowly. It is true that our cat family is difficult to be convinced by others, but if we can see others' lives better and better, then they I will think about it myself."

Qin couldn't help but look at the heads of the two cat tribes...both live in the southwest tribe. Xia and Arthur chiefs came to the tauren to play the autumn wind; compared with the previous, these two big cats Now it really looks a lot different-they are all dressed in neat and clean sun cloths, with a layer of sweaters and sheepskin coats on them, their cheeks are full and their faces are ruddy, regardless of their spiritual style or the temperament of the whole person. Not the same.

Yu Jianqin, Elder Hall, and Elder Saladin moved a bit, and continued: "I used to be a warrior of the grassroots tribe. After merging with the Ministry of Fire, we found that planting is indeed more stable than grazing. Although it will be at the beginning It's harder, but once you get used to it, people who are used to farming won't be willing to go back to graze."

In an environment with relatively low productivity, grazing and planting depend on heaven for food.

But compared with the former, the latter has the advantage that it is not purely dependent on the sky, and manpower can also be used as a supplement.

Xiaohua also said: "Yeah, I am a warrior of the Li tribe. In the past, we needed at least three large pastures to rotate and feed all the tribes, but now, one tenth of the land in a pasture is used for farming and production. All the people can’t eat enough food. The land needed for planting is much less than that required for grazing. The same piece of land can be fed dozens of times and hundreds of times more people than grazing."

At this point, it is not necessary to say that the tauren themselves are all clear, why the tauren has never had a dispute with the race on the grassland? Because the land planted by one of their tribes is not as big as half of others’ grasslands, the food they planted can not only feed themselves, but also receive other people...

Patriarch Hall and Elder Saladin looked at each other for a while and exchanged eyes, looking at Yu and Xiaohua together.

Tauren's brainwave communication method... some people can receive the signal, some people can't; but even if it can be received, too complicated information is still more difficult...

Yu and Xiaohua greeted the two people's eyes, revealing a puzzled look. This is that the amount of brain wave information released by the two of them was a bit large and could not be interpreted.

Fortunately, the two Tauren also knew the shortcomings of brain wave communication, and shouted the piano: "The Hall chief said that the southwestern part has been very stable in recent years, which proves that the Snow Wolf clan's approach is feasible. Since this is the case, We Taurens can’t sit back and let you Snowwolves work alone. If you don’t mind, we are willing to send soldiers to help you convince the cats in the middle.”

Yu and Xiaohuamei smiled and nodded in a hurry: "This is naturally good. There is no one on the grassland that can be more trustworthy than a tauren."

Patriarch Hall and Elder Saladin showed a fierce and hearty smile (uh...), so they actively called for people...

Originally Tauren were quite disgusted with the large ethnic groups, the reason is that the Tigers have a bad head-this group of tigers ignores the short board of grazing and piles up nearly ten thousand clan people, which exceeds the environmental carrying capacity of the grazing mode. In order to solve the problem of shortage of survival resources, he simply took the methods of robbing slaves and **** exploiting labor to obtain living supplies, and it was strange not to recruit Tauren.

The Ministry of Fire is not as eager for success as the Tigers in gathering large groups of people. They expanded the settled groups step by step after digging up enough land and producing enough food. The whole process was smooth and excessive, and there was no shortage of living resources. Disputes and disputes can naturally win the recognition and favor of Tauren. (It’s not a problem to be tired and tired of tauren, don’t mention how hard it is)

Um... Another most important reason is that the Ministry of Fire has not forgotten the Tauren since it was started. It sends materials at least three times a year, and also shares the technology of firing bricks in the kiln, burning soil, cement, wool spinning, and other technologies. The bowl scolds the mother, the tauren cannot do it...

In short, with the support of Tauren, people are willing to borrow people and face for your use, which is undoubtedly a very good start!
