Chapter 213: Gaps and concerns
The messenger group walked for a few days, slept in the wind, and finally walked out of the grassland and came to the countryside adjacent to the grassland.
The Thracians kept planting trees on the border of the steppe, which gradually formed a large forest. Although it is not dense, it is enough as a barrier, which can not only resist the strong wind from the grassland, but also hinder the orc herders who want to go west.
The orc herdsmen always bring their herds. The winding roads in the forest do not hinder pedestrians, but it is very inconvenient for the herds to travel. Unless they risk ruining their family by dropping their herd, they are no threat to the people of the plains west of the forest.
On the edge of the forest, the panda saw some poor herdsmen who were searching in the forest. They are hunters who make a living looking for precious ingredients in the forest. Although it usually takes a few days to get a little harvest, after a year, the harvest is actually no worse than a part-time job. It’s just that people work harder and there are some risks.
"Mulanda has a famous saying that if a person owes money, he will go to the mountains of the grassland to find the 'Shan Mushroom Circle'. This job is very risky and hard work, but it only needs to be done once. , you can make a lot of money." Seeing the panda pay attention to those people, Ronaldo, who was with him, said, "I have seen a businessman who lost all his capital and went to the mountain fungus circle, but unfortunately he never came back. can come back."
"A business that makes a lot of money must be accompanied by big risks." Panda sighed, "If you want to pay off the arrears all at once, you have to fight for your life."
He is also somewhat impressed by the "mountain fungus circle". On the mountains of the grassland, sometimes something similar to the "mushroom circle" on the plain appears, a circle of colorful mushrooms forming a circular circle, and there are often a few special mushrooms in the middle of the circle, which is the real "mushroom circle". Mushroom Circle". This thing is a precious ingredient and medicinal material. It is called "Shan Mushroom King" in the game. The price has always been high. Many important alchemy medicinal materials need to use it, and the output is not enough.
In contrast, these herdsmen who are looking for things in the forest on the edge of the grassland, the pandas have no idea what they are looking for.
Although he is an orc, he was mainly leveling in the archipelago area of the Federation at the beginning, and he was less active in the grasslands. If you ask him how many tribes of murlocs in the archipelago area, and what specialties each tribe has, he can be familiar with it, but Ask him what the grassland produces... sorry, he really doesn't know.
Thanks to the "New World" quest system, many players, like him, remember a lot of setting content - because it is useful to do quests. As for the group of people in the strategy group, they have become bookcases that can walk, and they don't know how much setting information they remember. Until now, they haven't been able to write down all the setting information they remember.
The convoy of the messengers did not stop, and soon walked into the forest along the road. The gradually dense shadows of the trees covered the grassland and those who were struggling to make a living.
Panda shook his head and sighed slightly.
According to the Thracians, these herders were almost impoverished. But in fact, they still have at least complete clothes. Although they are a little thin, at least there is blood on their faces, and there is no sign of obvious malnutrition. In contrast, Tara Khan led the real poor to live like zombie hungry ghosts.
No wonder in the game, when the imperial army attacked Tara Khan, although the military discipline was poor, the people did not resist much, only the nobles from all walks of life were trying their best to resist.
Both horizontally and vertically have been living like no one, so death is not terrible. Compared to a kingdom that makes people live less like individuals, perhaps under the rule of the empire, they can find a little hope.
If not for the influence of the traversers, perhaps when the empire invades, the same scene will still play out.
(This time is different!)
He said secretly in his heart.
(Forget about the big things, at least, we can let the poor people in Tarakhan live like individuals!)
These things are now being done by the traversers.
The biggest problem with the Tara Khan Land is not that the population is sparse, but that the lord is too plundered. Many of the lords here really have the madness of knocking their bones and sucking their marrow. If they were sent to the underworld of the Eastern Land, they would definitely be strong candidates for the Hungry Ghost Realm. In contrast, those lords are more generous, and the lives of the common people are just fine.
For example, in the village of Fei Luman, the lord is a knight with a very old-fashioned style, almost no sense of existence, and the tax collection is very light. The inhabitants of Firuman Village lived well, no worse than the poor in Mulandana.
However, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. The rulers of Tara Khan have worshipped demons from generation to generation. It is conceivable to imagine the virtues of the lords under their hands.
The traversers have just successfully seized power, and it is not easy to clean up for the time being, so their main consideration is to promote agricultural development, so that farmers can dig out more food from the soil.
Only farmers can be stable, and people take food as their heaven.
Their approach is roughly divided into two paths. One is headed by Li Xiao, who has learned from the Agricultural University by correspondence after being discharged from the army, and mainly promotes the improvement of agricultural technology, such as improving soil quality, optimizing seeds, and reforming cultivation methods. The other is Liu Daoqing, who was born in a mountain village First, they are mainly engaged in aquaculture, special cultivation and the like, and they are currently promoting the cultivation of mushrooms.
These two approaches have achieved some results, but the results are not enough. Li Xiao always complained that there are too few manpower and insufficient labor; Liu Daoqing said that even if he uses the "earth method", he still needs some technological products.
But no matter what, everyone is still doing it, and is still promoting the progress of the Tara Khan collar bit by bit.
As long as there is no war, the future Tara Khan will become prosperous sooner or later.
Panda is so sure.
However, he was also a little worried.
Because... no matter how much they did, no matter how well they built Tara Khan, facing the menacing imperial army, all of this might just be just a castle on the beach, and it would dissipate when the wind blows and waves hit it. Not even a trace left.
The army passes by without leaving any grass, and the cruelty of war can always destroy all prosperity.
I remember that in the university, I had studied "Tokyo Dream Hualu" in the elective course. The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang City, was really prosperous. However, after the Jinbing, the prosperity has turned into a fleeting cloud. Even if the poets of later generations called "Hangzhou as Bianzhou", the Hangzhou in the heaven and earth was actually far less prosperous than Bianliang, and what Marco Polo called "beyond imagination" Prosperity" is just a little bit of light left over from the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty...
Thinking of this, Panda felt a heavy heart.
He pondered these questions and was unhappy for days on end.
That night, when he was lying on the bed of the inn, thinking about what he could do, he suddenly heard a noise from outside...
