Jia Zhengjin came out of the residential building and first went to the city to take a look.

Kobold craftsmen are building houses to live in according to his ideas under the command of Dolma. Wolf and Carl helped, and the group was busy.

Jia Zhengjin didn't want to disturb them, so he moved to other places to inspect.

The mines in the city are almost finished, and the village miners are wielding iron picks for the final processing, while some of them use rudimentary pallet trucks and loads to transport the ore to the warehouse area.

"Lord Keane!" Seeing Jia Zhengjin coming to inspect, the villagers and miners stopped their movements one after another, "When the mining here is completed, are we going to work in a new mine?"

The villagers are mining, and Jia Zhengjin has to pay them wages. This is a fairly rare thing in other places.

Basically, the miners in other cities or countries were semi-forced or completely forced to do their work, either by soldiers who had been defeated and captured and who had been driven to mine, or by forcibly conscripted people who had been forced to do their work in the form of forced labor. For those miners, it's nice to have a full meal.

And Jia Zhengjin not only eats well every day, but also gets a salary of one gold coin every two months, which is simply a great benefit! Therefore, what the miners are most afraid of is that they will not have a job, because they also know that the kobold miners hired by Lord Kean can work hard every day as long as they have meat to eat, and they don't need to pay a dime at all. Villagers are hired to mine just to take care of these people who can only mine.

Therefore, after the established mine is hollowed out, the villagers will worry that such a good life will be gone!

Jia Zhengjin knew their worries, so he said with a smile: "Don't worry, the most important thing in the Warcraft Forest is minerals! I will soon expand the city wall outward, and then it will include more mining areas." You don't have to think about anything, you are indispensable for mining!"

After hearing Jia Zhengjin's words, the miners immediately burst into cheers of joy. Everyone shouted "Long live Lord Keane!" and worked harder.

Leave the mine and walk to the farmland.

The sowing of the seeds, the harvest of the harvest of the villagers, led by Brilliant Chief. Crops with a very short growth cycle allow them to grow whatever they want to eat, and they don't need to think too much about it at all.

Even now, many farmers have enough vegetables and fruits to eat, and they have begun to grow plants similar to cotton. They took home the fruits of the "cotton" they had harvested and handed them to their wives and daughters. The women then used the rudimentary handloom to spin and make it into a common cloth.

It's just that this weaving technique is very old and inefficient. Often, it takes at least half a month and a month to make a piece of cloth.

It's a pity that Jia Zhengjin hasn't unlocked the Science and Technology Research Institute yet, otherwise he would have been able to build the textile machine first. If there is a textile machine, basically a piece of cloth can be made in less than a day, and the efficiency is very fast!

Just as he was thinking about it, an older villager walked over: "Lord Keane!"

"Hello!" For the elderly, Jia Zhengjin was quite polite.

"Hey~~ I'm getting older, and this waist is a little unbearable. The old villager pounded his back and sighed, "It's clear that Lord Keene has given us such good farmland, but I can't even water it." I'm sorry!"

"Don't you have any other family members?" asked Jia Zhengjin, who he still didn't fully know about the thousands of villagers.

"Hey, there's only a five-year-old granddaughter, and she can't help!" sighed the old villager.

"What about the child's parents?"

"Dead! A long time ago, when I was collecting wild fruits on the outskirts of the Monster Forest, I was eaten by wild beasts!" the old villager's eyes flashed with tears.

"Condolences!" Jia Zhengjin could say, so he had to comfort him.

The villagers working in the farmland also saw Jia Zhengjin one after another, so they gathered to say hello.

Amber's father, Harlem Sr., looked at the poor old villager and said, "Old man Albato is also pitiful, although we can occasionally help him carry water, but we can't always help, because everyone has their own farmland to take care of. ”

"Hmm~~ I didn't think about that!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "Otherwise, I'll arrange some kobolds to help." What do you think?"

"Lord Keane, of course we're glad to have kobolds to help. But the kobold only listen to your orders, and I am afraid that when the time comes, it will not only not help, but will cause chaos!" said Bellt.

Regarding his father-in-law's words, Jia Zhengjin felt reasonable: "Then why don't I let the town guards come over to help after cultivation?"

"That's not going to work!" Old Haring said, "The town guards are responsible for the safety of our city, and they should be given enough rest after cultivating." Actually, I think that if we can solve this water problem, we will basically solve it! Now everyone feels most tired is that they always have to go to the river to fetch water. It's okay to say that those of us who have the strength to do it, but many of us are in poor health like Albato, and it's too hard for them!"

"That's right!"

"It's just that I'm tired of fetching water!"

The villagers agreed.

"Fetch water?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Although the machine tool is not unlocked now, it is not possible to produce delicate parts such as faucets and water pipes. But it doesn't seem like it's hard to find something replaceable, right?

He remembered that there seemed to be an otherworldly plant similar to bamboo near the castle, which the locals called the empty tree. This thing is very similar to bamboo, with a hollow middle of the trunk and quite strong.

He immediately said: "Anyone who has the strength should go to the public warehouse to get a stone axe, and then follow me out of the city!

"Okay!!" Hearing this, the villagers were all eager to try, and all the people with better physique ran to the warehouse to get stone axes, and then gathered in front of Jia Zhengjin.

Jia Zhengjin took these villagers to the outside of the city and found a location with more empty trees. Then he ordered them to start cutting down, and soon collected a large number of empty trees and carried them back to the city.

According to his memory, Jia Zhengjin asked everyone to cut all the empty trees in half vertically and make them into semicircular tubes. They were then instructed to move these tubes to the higher river waterfalls, where they were constantly adjusted and fixed, and one by one, they were led down to the farmland.

The water of the waterfall flows down the long tube, and in this way it twists and turns in the trunks of the empty trees and flows straight down into the farmland.

Jia Zhengjin asked everyone to dig a huge pond at this location with a stone shovel to store water. In this way, the villagers would not have to go down to the nearest river and carry heavy buckets up to get water.
