Three hundred and seventy-eighth chapter construction (1)
The situation at the junction of the Beast and the Druid Sect became increasingly tense. After both sides obtained the excellent arms provided by the Gemini Kingdom, they were ready to teach each other a profound lesson.
The main force of the beast tribe is the wolf clan who is about to be forced into a desperate situation by Lucya and his loyal allies. If they can win a beautiful victory, they will greatly restore their glory and status. The beast tribe's thinking is so direct. The strong, especially the strong who win battles on the battlefield, will be praised and respected by all the beast tribes. Further, if the wolf tribe can force the Druid sect to sign an agreement and sell food to the beast tribe at a low price, then they will become the heroes of the entire beast tribe. At that time, they will be driven to the edge of the grassland, because the food trade between the Druid sect and the beast tribe will be monopolized in their hands. If they can occupy a plump land of the Druid sect... no, the patriarch of the wolf tribe will be euthanized.
The druid sect are the elders of those hawks. Danica, the representative figure, did not expect that she hated and was a guy who was inexplicably annoying - Lin Ona. In the eyes of the beast tribe, it was a deliberate increase in food prices and wanted to starve their people to death. This is objectively a fact. Every year, a large number of people in the beast tribe die of hunger. However, in the eyes of the druid sect, they are completely fair trades. The beast tribe cannot afford gold coins and wants to lower the food price. It is simply shameless! Those foods were also grown by the people of the Druid sect facing the loess and backs to the sky, and they worked hard to grow, but they did not fall from the sky. Why should they sell them at a low price? Under the strong pressure of the beast tribe, they had already made some concessions on the food prices sold to the beast tribe. Those greedy guys still want to be more aggressive? Dreaming!
In short, the two forces have been resentful for a long time, but they were pushed by Danica and now they have exploded.
However, these have nothing to do with Danica, and she is more concerned about the construction of Chidao now.
"How is the project progressing?" asked Danica. She was sitting in a carriage, next to her, looking at Phyllis outside through the car window, and Aishi was sitting opposite her. After more than two months of construction, the road from Twin Cities to the Druids town of Rees is almost completed. Danica took some time to come and take a look, and Phyllis, who was bored in the palace, also followed.
"It's almost over." Ai Xue said tiredly. It was absolutely impossible for Ai Xue to organize tens of millions of manpower before. She and Lemil are almost busy these days. So many people gather together and the tedious things can never be handled, but they have to deal with them. The dark circles on her face have been hanging for several days. Fortunately, with Lemil's help, Ai Xue never expected that Lemil had such strong organizational skills. Although it was obvious that he had barely supported it, he did and arranged tens of millions of refugees.
"How are the refugees' follow-up arrangements ready?" Danica asked again.
Aishi forced himself to stop yawning in front of Danica and said, "We have already opened a lot of farmland along the way of Chidao, which can be used to settle about three million people." This is the plan formulated before. While building Chidao, it is opened up farmland on both sides of Chidao and arranged for these refugees to farm. Catherine provided great cooperation in this regard. You should know that on both sides of Chidao, sometimes even the land that Chidao wants to pass through does not necessarily belong to the Gemini Kingdom, but Catherine led the troops to let them understand who the land belongs to.
Danica nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's follow this model, absorb refugees to build the road, and then open up the farmland on both sides of the road to arrange refugees."
Phyllis, who had been looking outside, turned around and asked, "What should the farmers on both sides of the Chidao do?"
Danica said coldly: "Where are all the territory of the Gemini Kingdom. If those people are willing to surrender to the Gemini Kingdom, they will build the Cimini Kingdom as refugees. If certain conditions are met, they will naturally arrange land for them."
"What if I don't want to surrender?" Phyllis asked subconsciously, but after asking, she could immediately guess how Danica would answer her.
"How dare you not be loyal to the Gemini Queen on the land of the Gemini Kingdom?" Danica sneered and said, "Then let's dig!" The Aishi Chamber of Commerce has discovered several large coal mines and is starting to mine!
"Oh, this will bring people to their hearts." Phyllis said that the farmers who obtained the land were vested interests in the expansion of the Gemini Kingdom. Even for the land they depend on, they would support Danica's policy.
After walking for almost half an hour, Danica and the others finally arrived at their destination. In order to complete the construction of the Chidao as soon as possible and to arrange so many people, the Chidao from Twins to Rice Town was divided into five sections and was built at the same time. Danica and the others came this time with the section closest to the Twins. This section is completely in the plains in the central region and has not yet penetrated into the hilly areas of the Druid Basin. Compared with the difficulty of construction, the construction is very low and it is almost completed.
It was almost noon when Danica and Phyllis walked off the carriage. The refugees who turned into labor were scattered in the shade of trees, waiting for lunch.
Seeing that almost everyone was resting there, Ai Xue also explained: "Because this section is almost completed, they can finish their morning work early."
Danica nodded, and said nothing.
Phyllis, who was standing next to him, stepped on the Chidao under his feet and said, "This road is very well built! It is flat and solid. With this road, the connection between the Twin Cities and the Druid Sect will be much closer."
Danica sighed and said, "Yes, without the food of the Druids as support, the Gemini Kingdom would not dare to expand so quickly."
Phyllis asked curiously: "But do you plan to rely on the Druids in terms of food supply?"
Danica smiled and said, "What, can't you?"
"It's not that it's not possible," Phyllis frowned slightly and said, "But that's food! What if this trade route is blocked for some reason, what should the Gemini Kingdom do? Waiting to starve to death?" Food security is really important to a country, and I have to think about it more.
Danica pointed to the farmland that had been reclaimed on both sides of the Chidao and said, "Of course, it cannot be entirely dependent on the Druid Sect. These lands can produce good harvests when fully utilized. Although the land in the central plains is not as fertile as the land in the Druid Basin, the soil layer is quite thick and the precipitation is good. I will find a way to see if I can buy some high-quality seeds from Tyran."
Phyllis smiled strangely and said, "Telanken sells the seeds to you?" Phyllis doesn't know much about this, but in her opinion, seeds that can bring good returns should be a very precious resource, and can even be used as a strategic resource. How could Telan be willing to sell them to Danica so easily?
Danica smiled and said, "Why don't you refuse? I didn't want it for nothing. I bought it for gold coins. Besides, as far as I know, the high-quality seeds selected by the Druid Sect can only be planted for one generation, and the seeds produced by the crops will degrade a lot in terms of yield. So if I want to have a good harvest, I have to buy seeds from the Druid Sect every year, which is also an objective income."
Phyllis said: "That's the best. For humans, food is really important. As long as we have enough food in our hands, the Gemini Kingdom will definitely become a powerful country."
Danica and Phyllis were chatting about the development blueprint of the entire Gemini Kingdom. Ai Xue, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but yawn slightly. She was so sleepy. In addition, the sun was shaking brightly in the sky in July, and she felt dizzy.
"Aixue, how is the land allocation?" Danica asked suddenly.
Hearing his name, Ai Xue shuddered and felt a little more awake: "Ah? What?"
Danica frowned slightly, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared. Under Danica's gaze, Ai Xue felt cold sweat begin to emerge from her forehead. She could only stand there with her head down, her heart pounding.
Fortunately, Philis next to him freed his siege and said, "The sun is too sunny, let's talk under the shade of the tree." Philis and Danica are both fourth-level professionals, and their physical fitness is not that bad, so they won't be able to bear it if they are sunk for a while. However, Philis noticed that Ai Xue's health seemed not very good, and she could no longer bear it when she was sunk like this.
Danica said, "Okay, let's go there."
The three of them walked to the shade of the tree beside the road, and Danica asked again: "How is the land distribution on both sides of the road?"
Danica was a little dissatisfied with Ai Xue's reaction just now, but she couldn't say she was angry. However, due to her long-term power, this dissatisfaction had already put a lot of psychological pressure on Ai Xue.
Hearing Danica's question, Ai Xue hurriedly said: "It has been allocated. Refugees who performed well in the construction of the Chidao will be given priority to land allocation. Other refugees need to continue to build the next Chidao. However, the list has not been released yet. This is to avoid them being passively slacked off." After working hard for several months, if you hear that you have not allocated the land, you will inevitably have complaints, and you will naturally not work well. But there is no way. There is only so many farmland that can be reclaimed on both sides of the Chidao, and you can only arrange so many people, and you always have to have first and then.
Danica asked, “These farmlands are distributed directly to them?”
Well...what does this sentence mean? Ai Xue was a little surprised. Judging from the master's tone, why did she plan to continue to squeeze those refugees? What else can they squeeze?
Ai Xue said carefully: "Yes, these farmlands will be distributed directly to them."
"Is it their ownership of the farmland?"
"Yes...yes." Ai Xue became less and less confident after Danica's questioning.
Danica locked her brows, looked at the farmlands, and said, "Change, all the farmlands belong to the Gemini royal family, and the royal family handed over to the Aishi Chamber of Commerce to manage the land, and the Aishi Chamber of Commerce hired them to farm."
"This..." Ai Xue was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
Phyllis next to him said directly: "This may hurt their enthusiasm, right?" If these farmlands do not "belong" to them, they will definitely make the refugees feel uneasy. This was originally a good way to win over the people's hearts. Danica's sudden appearance will greatly reduce the effect of comforting refugees.
Danica said lightly: "It's just nominal, but in fact they still farm and harvest as before."
Phyllis said directly: "Since it's just a nominal matter, why do you want to compete with those refugees for this name? You have an army and finance. No matter what the nominal matters, these lands belong to you, so you can't make them feel at ease? Rest is very important for those refugees."
Danica explained: "I hope to manage their crop cultivation uniformly. In the future, I may specifically ask them to plant what and how to plant it due to changes in the mainland situation. For example, if I need a large amount of cotton, I can use this name to plant all of this area into cotton."
Phyllis put forward a different view: "This can be guided by the market, such as increasing the purchase price of cotton, and the cotton planting area will naturally increase, so will it take you to do this?"
Danica shook her head slightly and said, "That's too slow. Many times the opportunity is fleeting. I have to wait for those farmers for a year? If that happens, nothing will be up to you."
Danica paused and continued, "You said that you will encounter some trouble when you are trying to win people's hearts. The land is not really in your hands. Those hiring farmers may be very uneasy, but it doesn't matter. I'm not sitting in this position because of their support. They just need to obey orders."
Phyllis glanced at Danica and said, "Okay, this kingdom belongs to you, you can do whatever you want." After that, she sighed. She really couldn't figure out why Danica did this.
But this is indeed difficult to explain. Danica said directly to Ai Xue: "If you arrange it, just distribute the farmland on both sides of Chidao according to the method I just mentioned."
Danica said so, and Ai Xue could only lower her head and say, "Yes." This kingdom belongs to Danica, so she can do whatever she wants. However, Ai Xue doesn't have to find a way to solve the bad mood of other refugees who have not been allocated to the land. After all, even if she is assigned to the land, it is good news.
"Okay." Danica nodded slightly and said, "This will be processed as soon as possible."
