Neverwinter, the pier of Changge District. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Two cement boats were docked on the shore, workers were unloading sacks of burlap, and the newly appointed officials of the Ministry of Agriculture were counting the numbers, and the entire wharf was filled with a hot atmosphere, which was rare for a fortress where the effects of the evil moon had not yet dissipated and the roads were still covered with snow. After inspection and counting, the seeds in these burlap bags are distributed to each farmer by hand.

"Your Highness, can the Golden No. 1 Seed really increase the yield of wheat by more than three times?" Pero was still a little incredulous, "Doesn't that mean that the output in the field can fill everyone's stomach?"

Roland had also heard Barov say this, or rather, in the eyes of most nobles, it was the norm for commoners to go hungry, "It is the most basic responsibility of a lord to make everyone fed, and we have only taken the first step." And you don't need to take it for my mercy, because hungry people can't devote themselves to building cities. ”

"But...... This is undoubtedly a remarkable feat, and as far as I know, there is no other city in the kingdom that can do this. ”

"The merit is indeed commendable, but I only have a small part, and the most important thing is that it is thanks to the witch - without the transformation of the leaves, the Golden One would not be able to talk about it. ”

Perro was silent for a moment, "Maybe we were really wrong before. ”

"What?"

"In the opinion of the treatment of witches. "Most of the nobles don't think much of the church's propaganda, but they also have a disgust and wariness of witches...... Only if you see their value and see them as ordinary people, that's the most incredible thing - they are obviously not ordinary. ”

Not only do you fail to see the value of witches, but you also ignore the power of the people, whose potential is even more impressive. Witches are like catalysts, and when the two are combined, they can bring about a leap forward in civilization, and the more you develop, the greater this improvement will be. However, Roland did not say what he thought in his heart, "It's still too late to remedy, after all, we belong to the same origin." ”

"Your Highness, the boiler is boiling, and the Victory is ready at any time. The guard reported.

"Get everyone on board, I'll be right there. After the prince finished his order, he looked at Perot, "The guidance team from the Ministry of Agriculture should be there in the afternoon, and they will tell you how to plant Golden One." As for the mining and construction of the mine, the expansion of the population, the popularization of education, and the opening of factories, we have talked about it enough at the meeting, and it is good to implement it according to the plan. He patted the eldest son of the Honeysuckle family, "After I leave, this place will be handed over to you, do it well, the executive officer of the Changge District will not be your end." ”

"I will not disappoint your expectations, Your Highness. Perot bowed.

Roland boarded the cement ship and gave the order to set off. With the whistle blowing, the Victory slowly sailed off the shore and headed for the border area.

"How many bald boats are these?" Qiao smacked, "they're all coming from the direction of town!"

"That's the Frontier District, didn't my lord say it, we're the same city as the town now," Snakefang pouted, the bald boat was Joe's nickname for the strange ships in the river without sails, but he preferred the name of the stone boat—the broad, grey hull of the rock, which didn't move even as the porters ran back and forth. "What's it called?"

"Neverwinter. Tigerclaw chimed in.

"Whatever, it's none of our business," exclaimed Jo excitedly, "you will go to the town on such a boat, and remember to take a good look at why they can move without sails or oars, and what is the white mist and black smoke that spews out of their heads!"

This really has nothing to do with us, Snake Fang thought to himself, after the city is built, everyone will be able to find a job.

"Don't you really want to stay?" Aoi looked a little sullen, "they're all handymen, why do you have to go to a strange place?"

"One more silver wolf," Tiger Paw said happily, "staying here is the salary of six silver wolves, and going there is seven, anyway, they are all working, of course, they choose more money." ”

"I didn't ask you," Aoi glanced at him, keeping his eyes fixed on Snake Fang.

For some reason, Snake Fang suddenly felt a little weak. After the establishment of Neverwinter, the lord seems to have fulfilled his promise, and there were countless recruitment announcements in the square overnight, but there were not many opportunities for rats, most of them were handymen and mason apprentices, and the pay was lower than the others. Of course, it's better than being hungry and full when you're a rat - if the pay is paid on time, as the announcement says.

For a few partners, his statement was to go to the border area to earn more, but the real idea was that it was closer to the blank paper, looking at Aoi's scrutinizing eyes, and swallowing back the words that came to his mouth, "My thoughts...... Same as Tiger Claw. ”

"Will you come back?"

At this moment, a whistle sounded in the direction of the dock, and a red flag swayed.

"It's our turn, let's go!" Tigerpaw grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the docks.

With the whistle, the crowd around him also surged, and when he entered the inspection passage, he was almost pushed forward, and Snake Fang looked behind him while holding the luggage package on his chest, but unfortunately there was a crowd of people behind him, and he couldn't find Aoi and Joe at all.

Several black-clad policemen were checking their boarding passes at the end of the passageway, "What's your name?"

Soon after the tiger claw passed, it was his turn, and Snake Fang took out the hot crumpled note from his underwear pocket, and carefully handed it to the policeman, "Snake Fang, the fifth construction team of the Red Flag Group, look ......"

The other party didn't pay attention to his introduction at all, unfolded the boarding pass and glanced at it, and patted him on the chest impatiently, "The boat on the left, the next one!"

Boarding the ship's side, Tiger Claw was already waiting for him at the entrance. "It's amazing that they didn't ask for extra coins. ”

"yes...... They didn't. Absentmindedly, Snakefang folded the certificate back into his bosom and looked at the docks for the location of his partner.

It wasn't until the stone boat roared loudly and slowly sailed away from the dock that he found the two men on a stone staircase on the embankment—Aoi waving Joe's coat, and Joe holding her arms behind her.

Snake Fang also quickly took off his coat, ignoring the surprised eyes of the others, and shook it vigorously.

The eyes of the two finally converged again.

"Take care!" he shouted, and the other seemed to be saying something, but the roar of the ships drowned out each other's voices.

Aoi chased along the embankment for a while, but was still pulled farther and farther away by the stone boat, and gradually disappeared from view.

In the end, Snakefang couldn't give an answer. (To be continued.) )
