Chapter 266 Food
There are three gates in Harbor City, the south gate corresponds to the coastline, the most peaceful, there are large and small shacks, which is the location of the fishing ground market, after the west gate, all the way to the west is Dangfeng Cliff with strange rocks, and The east gate... After leaving the east gate, there is an endless giant mangrove forest, which symbolizes disasters and trials.
Therefore, compared to the comfortable East Gate and the flat West Gate, the East Gate has always been guarded by heavy soldiers. For fear that some natives will break in, many residents of Harbor City will involuntarily stay away from the East Gate, which once led to the living in the East District. rate dropped significantly.
The new city lord personally gave the order to lead a mighty team to go out to fight against the natives, which shocked the residents of Harbor City. Countless people put down their work and came to the east gate to watch the excitement.
Standing on the east gate, many city guards who stayed behind watched their large troops leave while patrolling, but not long after, they heard the sound of fighting from the dense forest in the distance, and each of them couldn't help feeling nervous up.
Unexpectedly, many soldiers of the city guards were not very optimistic about the move of the new city lord, because they had lived in this land for many years and knew how cunning and cruel the natives in the mangrove forest were.
Especially for those uncivilized indigenous tribes, when food was in short supply, many large tribes even dared to go out of the mountains to the villages around Harbor City to directly kidnap the people of the empire, and go back and eat them directly!
The title of cannibals is not groundless!Basically rational and moral human beings would be terrified of such fellows!
But just as the east gate was in a state of anxiety, suddenly, the sharp-eyed city guards saw a corner of the troops returning to the court on the road far away, and at this moment, the east gate fell into a boil.
"Look, our people are back!"
"Father Dong! Lord City Master actually wiped out those stupid natives of Montenegro! Thank you Father Dong! Son, mother, you can finally rest in peace!"
"It turned out to be a success! Is our Harbor City really going to rise? Are those damned natives really going to get out of our territory?"
Just as the city guards and ordinary residents gathered near the east gate were discussing, a very inappropriate shout stood out in an instant——
"Long live Lord Ronan! The City Lord is brave!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the arena was shocked!
After a while, the audience boiled!
"Long live Lord Ronan! The City Lord is brave!"
Countless people raised their hands, danced happily, and shouted these words loudly. Even the city guards who were patrolling on duty couldn't help raising their weapons, and shouted loudly, with a smile on their faces. With a look of admiration.
If it is said that Ronan hadn't fully gathered the city guards before, then at this moment, the command of the city guards in Harbor City belongs to Ronan!
On the returning dirt road, the returning troops were also startled by the sudden loud noise, but soon, when they heard the content of these shouts clearly, no matter whether they were hugging The wounded or seriously injured soldiers endured their pain one after another, raised their high heads, and expressed their pride.
This battle!They won!It's worth it too!
For so many years, Harbor City has always been a headache for these indigenous people!
This kind of headache is not only because the development of Harbor City needs the help of the aborigines, but also because the defense force of the Harbor City is unable to deal with those aborigines, which leads to the fact that those naturalized Black Mountain tribesmen can still be so arrogant in the city!
But it's different now, because a new city lord of the imperial capital was parachuted from the Orison territory. This city lord is very domineering, has a consistent style of doing things, and does not allow his people to be harmed.
This time, the appearance of Ronan made them truly feel the sense of security as citizens of the Winter Empire!
Amidst the applause and cheers of flowers all the way, the team led by Ronan slowly entered the city, and received the "confession" and love of many residents on the way back to the City Lord's Mansion.
These industrious and simple residents of the Harbor City praised the wounded soldiers in front of them with the most beautiful words, and even relied on Ronan who had no road in the carriage to such a high degree that he almost erected a statue to worship day and night up!
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Ronan summoned the treasurer and told him to communicate with Daxi, and must implement the death compensation for those soldiers who died in battle.
After the treasurer took the order, Lexi came with a somewhat heavy body. Ronan handed him a batch of perfect healing potions, and ordered him to mix them in water at a ratio of one to ten, and pour them into those injured. and poisonous soldiers; after that, an agricultural officer was called to learn about the arable fields and grain yields around the Harbor City.
The agricultural officer was an elderly commoner with mixed blood. His skin was dark because he had been exposed to the sun and worked for a long time, and he looked like a pure native.
After he came to the city lord's mansion to see Ronan, he knelt down and took out the farmland situation he had recorded from his arms. It's just that he didn't read too much, which caused the words and pictures he wrote to be a bit strange. Abstraction, it took Ronan a lot of effort to understand.
Due to the relationship between precipitation and humus, the surrounding area of Harbor City is extremely fertile. Rice that can only be grown for one season in the hinterland of the empire can be grown here for two or three seasons, and the yield per mu is quite high.
However, because the aborigines often came to rob, a large part of the food could not be recovered, and sometimes even no grains could be harvested...
This is not because the city guards do not patrol the farmland area, but because the number of the city guards is really limited. There are too many and too cunning natives, and they come to sneak attacks day and night. This has caused the residents of Harbor City to We have never had a good impression of them.
After understanding the situation clearly, Ronan started his own way of farming.
First of all, the farmlands outside the city are located in different locations, some are in dense forests, some are near the city, and there is a huge scattered patrol force, so temporarily abandon the fields that are too far away, and directly delineate the farmland within 1000 meters near the city Come in, this is not only convenient for patrolling, but also convenient for centralized management.
Secondly, Ronan took out a dozen sacks from his space equipment and placed them in front of the agricultural officer. The latter apologized, stepped forward to open it, and was almost blinded by the golden light.
"My lord, is this... the sacred object [golden rice] of the aborigines in the mangroves in the legend of free drinks?" asked the agricultural officer with a look of disbelief.
(PS: No more yesterday... I ran to the interview and almost couldn’t get out! Help! Brothers, listen to my advice, don’t go to companies with less than 100 employees, it’s really disgusting! Suppressing wages! Yesterday I received 30 yuan a day! Come on! It’s enough for a day’s food!)
