Chapter 804: Autumn in Islandz
The Kingdom of Ellands, the Marquis of Yellow Sky adjacent to the capital.
This is one of the most inland areas in the entire kingdom of Ellands. Because of the gentle terrain, more than one river converges here, and then forms a rather large swamp.
Compared with the Great Swamp in the southeast of the Western Continent, this swamp, named after the explorer Roosevelt who was the first to complete a detailed map, is much smaller, but much more troublesome. After all, no one would consider reclamation in the Everglades, and around the Roosevelt Swamp, there were many farms.
In late September, the weather is getting cooler, and the farmers are busy in the fields—now is the most critical time before the harvest. Every drop of sweat shed at this time is related to the harvest ten days and a half months later.
In this season, what farmers fear most is rain. Because rain will hinder the final growth of crops, and this final stage of growth is directly related to whether the ears are firm and whether the rice grains are full. Therefore, a farming proverb goes: every drop of rain in late September is a farmer's tears.
However, the weather in the Kingdom of Ellands during this time is very good, and the sun is shining every day. Although sometimes there are some dark clouds in the sky, but they will soon dissipate, and there is no intention of gathering and raining at all.
In the face of such weather, the farmers all praised the good year, the good weather, and the blessing of God.
There are also some powerful people with excellent eyesight who couldn't help but smile knowingly when they heard this.
They looked up at the sky, and at a height that was completely impossible for ordinary people to see, there was a strange-looking thing flying around. It kept dispelling the approaching dark clouds, keeping the sky clear.
When Liu Daoqing returned to the ground, it was already more than four in the afternoon. He was so tired after working in the sun for most of the day, he was panting for breath. The servants who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded him and wiped his body with cold water to help him cool down.
Her Majesty the Queen did not show any sympathy for him. Instead, she laughed jokingly and said, "Qing, you are the most industrious farmer I have ever seen. You alone can handle the work of thousands or even tens of thousands of people... ...I think you might be able to disperse the rain clouds over Molai's side."
Liu Daoqing shook his head again and again: "How... possible! It's just this... place, it's almost... I'm exhausted... I'm exhausted!"
Only then did Katerina come over with a smile, and handed him a cup of sugar water mixed with medicines that can restore physical strength: "Knowing that you are dying of exhaustion, what are you doing so hard? You don't need to worry about agriculture, the farmers themselves will think about it. way."
Liu Daoqing lifted his neck and drank a large glass of sugar water until there was still a little bit left at the bottom of the glass, and then he recovered some spirits, and explained, "I am a little tired now, so the farmers can harvest a little more. They can harvest a little more, Life will be a little more stable - farmers are the foundation of the country, and if their life is stable, the kingdom of Ellants will be stable!"
Katerina stopped smiling, she sighed softly: "Qing, are you and your friends all like this?"
"what?"
"Some time ago, Otto and Pied visited the two counties of Dracula and Tara Khan respectively. They said that they met the most diligent and capable lords and officials in the world. Count Dracula is busy all day long. , almost never rests, if he is not the legendary vampire dragon, I am afraid that he is exhausted. Minister Eric always uses magic to travel around the territory, always appearing in time where he is needed, constantly Carry out the Count's orders in a timely manner."
Katerina looked at Liu Daoqing with some worry: "You are the same, although you are usually lazy, but when the farmers need you to rain or disperse the rain clouds, you will set off at the first time, busy all day long and tired every day. I'm half dead... Are you inhumans all such diligent people?"
Liu Daoqing was stunned for a moment and wanted to explain, but felt that there seemed to be nothing to explain.
Katerina is right, there are a large group of people who love to worry. Coming here from a peaceful and peaceful world, it is difficult for them to turn a blind eye to the suffering in front of them. Although they each have different ideas and practices, most of them are willing to stand up and contribute their power when people need it.
...of course, being like Rock Dracula is going too far, and not working from morning to night anyway - well, if necessary, but definitely not with night shifts, 24 hours a day, this is no longer a problem of hard work, but a pervert!
Liu Daoqing often felt that Locke's mental state was not very normal. Although he also understands that the conditions of Dracula are bad, and he also understands that there is a lot of manpower there, and no matter how hard he works, he can't work hard day and night.
Guys, do you think this is a number of people practicing a number together?
As for Eric, the chief minister of the Earl of Tarakhan, isn't that just a number shared by several people! The real Eric (Sleepless) has not been around since he was sealed. In order to fill his gap, during this period of time, five or six passers-by have always used camouflage magic to become his appearance, haunting all parts of Tara Khan Land, directing work and carrying out tasks.
In contrast, Liu Daoqing himself is quite normal. He works normally and rests normally, but he is busy these days and needs a little overtime.
"After these few days of work, I can rest again." He said.
"Then what? I have seen Pied's internal affairs plan. Before the Chinese New Year this year, you have to help dredging two rivers, leveling a mountain, and renovating about a hundred miles of farmland... These things are really not the king of a country. It should be done! You should learn from other lords!" Katerina advised, "These tasks can be handed over to civilians or hired. You are a lord, and you should be accustomed to directing others to do things, not Always work in person, be ashamed and exhausted and sweat profusely!"
Liu Daoqing smiled and patted the back of her hand lightly: "This is our country, if we don't work hard for it, then who else can we expect to work hard enough? Don't worry, I'm very good, this little thing, Can't beat me!"
Seeing his tired but confident look, Katerina shook her head a few times, but she didn't say anything and hugged him tightly.
"Don't push yourself too hard," she whispered. "I know you don't like these things."
"Since it's something I have to do, it doesn't matter if I like it or not." Liu Daoqing also replied in a low voice, "Finish these tasks as soon as possible, so that the country's affairs can be completely on track, and you can concentrate on hitting the legendary realm earlier. I don't feel forced to help you!"
They didn't say anything, and they didn't need to say anything.
