The winter in Atlantis is too long. Cage can only train himself every day to kill time. Even if he has come up with a lot of ways to play, he still can't satisfy his inflated desire. There are no nobles or beauties in this city. Cage really wants to vomit blood. He is finally sixteen years old and is considered a man. Why is no one willing to marry him? Even if there is a girl to sip with, it's not bad.
None of House and a group of barbarians are his opponents. Even if they fight, there is no suspense. What's more, the barbarians worship Cage as a god, so how dare they fight him. Cage keeps venting his energy. In the winter of Atlantis, there are no monsters coming out to forage in the forest, and there is no chance to hunt.
I practice, I practice, I practice, this is the only thing Cage can do now. Although the amount of energy in his body is constantly increasing and accumulating, there has been no breakthrough, so Cage's excess energy cannot be vented at all.
In a world covered with snow, Cage was thinking about how the people in the Agustita Empire in the north survived and how they survived such a long winter. According to Cage's understanding of geography, if the earth is used as a reference, the Agustita Empire is like Russia close to the North Pole. I heard that the beauties there are tall and sexy. It's a pity that the business in Landis City is not developed enough, otherwise it can attract many beauties from Agustita to come here to work in the entertainment industry.
After a long five-month wait, the snow finally began to melt. The people who stayed in Landis City took the seeds that Cage and his team distributed for free and started planting. The scenery of Landis in early spring is very beautiful, which is also what Cage is particularly proud of. The greening of the entire city is particularly good. When the tender buds slowly reveal a little green from the white snow, the warm wind blows over. The spring breeze that blows on your face no longer has a trace of coldness, only a faint warmth, which makes people warm. During the day, you can choose to have a good sleep in the sun.
The sun in early spring is also very comfortable. At this time, people will hold sacrificial activities to celebrate the goddess of spring, probably hoping that the gods will bless this place, with good weather and abundant crops. These farmers celebrate from day to night, and then sprinkle the rainwater from the first rain obtained from the sacrifice on the farmland before starting to sow. Cage found that the farming tools in this world are still very primitive. There is no plow used in modern society to help turn the soil, nor a large number of cattle to help with farming. There is a lack of a large number of farm tools. They all use primitive pickaxes to turn the soil, which is slow and inefficient. Cage had to send a large army to train the troops in the name of letting these soldiers help turn the soil. In order to prevent disputes between each other, Cage distributed the existing farmland according to the number of people, and used a ruler (about a foot long) to measure and distribute the land. These farmers have never heard of free seeds, free farming, and someone helping you plant. For these areas where the technology is too backward, Cage used ditch irrigation, building ditches to connect all the farmland to facilitate agricultural irrigation.
For the development of agriculture, Cage took great pains to dig wells everywhere and widen the river to divert water to the vicinity of farmland. For the convenience of irrigation, Cage designed waterwheels (a very simple thing in his previous life) and other equipment such as water pumps to help his family use water, but they were paid. First, the number of households in each village was regulated. Each village could have two waterwheels, but the price of grain sold to Cage in the next year must be 60% of the market price, and the quantity sold was regulated. In the eyes of these farmers, waterwheels are no different from artifacts. They never thought that water could be raised from low places to high places so easily, and that irrigation of farmland with higher terrain was so simple.
Each village has a village chief, who will be publicly elected every two years and supervised by the government. All people can complain to the petition office about all unreasonable phenomena to ensure the healthy development of the city.
These old farmers never thought that they would become officials one day, nor did they think that they would be able to criticize those masters for their bad work one day, nor did they think that there would be masters who cared about their farming. The great Prince Cage not only paid attention to agriculture, but also knew a lot about it. For example, he gave guidance on the way of sowing, etc., so that they knew that there were so many truths in the original experience, and farming was not a simple job. Cage also suggested that they plant vegetables on the less neat land near their homes to ensure daily expenses.
Cage estimated that only after the spring planting would a large number of farmers have free time to work, and the construction of the city had to be suspended for a while.
"I will go to the barbarian tribe in the forest. Watson, you have to do a good job in the government office. I will come back and ask about it in person."
"Your Highness, the Atas Forest is too dangerous, Your Highness, you have to think twice!" Watson said hurriedly.
"I have decided that I will lead one-third of the barbarian guards into the forest. You can rest assured." Cage waved his hand to stop Watson from speaking. "Watson, remember this. The main task is to build the city as quickly as possible according to the plan, first complete the city wall, and then complete the various large facilities in the city."
"Yes." Watson knew that His Highness would definitely not listen to his advice, so he could only do as Cage asked.
"House, you will be stationed in the city, and all the guards will be mobilized by you. Remember, no matter who comes to provoke you, you cannot leave the city. Report to me when I come back."
"Your Highness, let me go with you, let me protect your safety." House shouted. He was not interested in defending the city, he was only interested in fighting.
"No, you must stay here. This trip is not dangerous. I have learned from these barbarians that it should be easy to meet their chief. Xiaohei, Dajin and Xiaojin will stay to help you. You can command them according to the method I teach you."
"Your Highness~"
"Okay, it's decided. Vidi, uncle, I will be back in three months at most. You can keep an eye on this city for me. I will let Yijin and others come back once a day. If there is any urgent matter, write it down and tie it to their claws and let them send it to me."
"Yes, Your Highness." Vidi and Bird responded quickly. They didn't expect Cage to be so bold that he dared to go to the barbarian tribe alone. What exactly did he want to do.
"After I leave, Watson will be in charge of government affairs and House will be in charge of military affairs. Vidi and uncle can make suggestions on bad things, or tell me directly, and I will deal with it. I hope everyone will work together to build the city of Landis better."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, indicating that they would obey Cage's orders.
After Cage was ready, Niu Yi and a hundred other barbarians led him into the Atas Forest. This time, Cage brought very simple things. In addition to daily necessities, he only brought the Longquan Sword, Longshouwu Golden Spear, etc., all of which were left in Lantis City.
It was inconvenient to ride a horse in the forest, so Cage followed the barbarians into the forest. The barbarians were indeed the darlings of the forest and were very familiar with the forest environment. They could even use their instincts to avoid powerful monsters and analyze the activities of monsters through subtle traces and smells, a bit like the Bushmen on the African continent in the previous life, who retained the instincts of humans as primates.
Niu Yi and the others also looked at Cage strangely. No matter how fast they were, Cage could easily keep up, as if the forest was originally his home, which made them more certain that Cage was a god.
Cage also discovered that this forest was completely different from the forest next to the imperial capital. Most of the vegetation in the entire forest was cold zone vegetation, with the most being pine, larch, spruce, fir, pine, larch, yellow fir, hemlock, and Chinese fir, all of which were more than a hundred years old. Such tall trees could be preserved thanks to the fact that this world did not carry out large-scale destruction of vegetation. As long as they were used reasonably, the benefits would be very great. There were also some low-temperature algae plants here. It seemed that the barbarians' vegetarian food was these plants. The thick rotten leaves of plants on the ground also provided conditions for their growth. The tall trees also created a special climate here. The temperature in the forest was much higher than that of the plains. With the shelter of the tall trees, the cold north wind would not have any effect. In summer, the sunlight would not directly shine on them, and the shade of the trees ensured that the temperature here would not be very high.
The grass could still grow tenaciously between the tall trees, which made Cage quite strange. It could still grow without competing for the sun, and its vitality was strong enough. Cage has decided to invent papermaking to record civilization. He thinks the production of paper may have an impact on the entire world, but he can still control it within his control and use it in small quantities in the city.
There are still many animals in the forest, but there are not many powerful monsters. After all, there is no soil for them to grow here. The characteristics of the cold zone vegetation determine the single species, which is incompatible with the habits of most monsters.
