Chapter 66
Johnny said respectfully: “Half of us are miners and masons, and the other half are farmers. Source Stone Canyon has a small population, so these two industries are the only ones.”
“oh?” Robb strangely said: “Can these two industries be mixed?”
Johnny said: “The source stone canyon is a valley full of stones, within the valley there is nothing tall There are no animals to hunt, so we only have two industries: digging stones and planting crops. Fortunately, the source stone canyon is rich in all kinds of gems. We only need to dig a good stone and wait for the big merchant Puluo Po Lai buys it, enough to eat for a year or two. To tell you the truth, I am a miner and jeweler. My source of income is to dig a good stone, carve and polish it, and finally sell it to the big merchant Probo.”
Robb understands that this is a typical three-year-old business.
He tapped lightly on the table with one hand and asked, “Now that you can’t go back to the source stone canyon, even if we can defeat the undead army in the source stone canyon, you won’t dare. Live back, because no one knows when the next wave of undead Legion will come, you can only live and live in Westwind Town.”
Johnny sadly said: “Yes! We can’t go back. Before this war is over, you have to settle down in Westwind Town.”
“How will you settle down in Westwind Town?” Robb said, “You can’t always rely on me to give you potatoes. Come and live? That kind of life has no soul.”
Johnny said: “The farmers are easy to handle, as long as they reclaim a field on the hillside, they can live.”
He said this, Robb immediately remembered: “By the way, you farmers in the source stone canyon seem to know how to grow beets.”
“Yes!” Jonny said: “Yes Many people know how to grow that kind of thing.”
“That’s good.” Robb said with a smile: “After the townspeople in the source stone canyon are rescued, they will vigorously reclaim the land and plant large areas. Beets.”
Johnny said: “Huh? Planting that stuff in a large area? You won’t be able to eat.”
Robb said with a smile: “It’s okay, I promise they can Eat enough, all right, the farmer’s problem is solved, let’s talk about the miners and masons. In fact, I have a need for all kinds of gemstones, and I like to use them to make beautiful necklaces and rings… But , Now that the source stone canyon has collapsed, it is impossible to dig these things normally, so I was thinking, maybe there are more than iron and copper mines in Westwind Town? Obviously, Westwind Town is not far from the source stone canyon, only more than three days. I don’t believe how much the geological difference between the two will be. If you look carefully, maybe you can find gem mines here.”
Johnny shook the head and sighed: “The survey Geology, searching for gem mines, we don’t know how, we rely on the shade of our ancestors to know that there are gem mines in the source stone canyon.”
Robb smiled: “Well, I But I can help you.”
Robb has a special ability, that is, “find gems”, which is a unique skill of gemsmiths in the game “Dark Blade”. (PS: The miners in “devil beast world” also have similar abilities. It’s not a rare function, and many can be found in the game.)
He took out the forest map around Westwind Town and placed it on the stone in front of him. On the table, the ability to “find gems” was turned on, and instantly, two spots on the map lit up with yellow dots. Of course, only he could see the yellow dots, but Jonny couldn’t.
Robb reached out and pointed at one of the yellow dots: “Here! Tomorrow, you will bring all the miners from this group of people who escaped and concentrate on digging down from this place, I think, You’ll soon find something to live on.”
“Really or not?” Jonny was a little confused, how could there be such a random unfolding of a map, like a blindfold Are you saying there is a gem mine here? Isn’t this a bit too hasty?
Chapter 96 Arrangements at will
Johnny doesn’t believe Robb’s random point at all.
Although he didn’t dare to be rude to a priest, he still couldn’t help opening the mouth and said: “My father! You unfold the map like this, use your finger to random point on it and say there is a gem mine, Is it a little bit of that…”
Robb: “Wow! You want to say that I talk nonsense, I’m just messing around, but I’m sorry to say it, so I have to use ‘that’s’ three Replace it with words.”
Johnny’s expression was embarrassed, and he didn’t know how to say this.
At this time, Lillian stood up: “Johnny Uncle, my family’s Master is very difficult to deal with. He has the blessing of the gods. He said that there is a gem mine there. I think there must be.”
The little maid’s expression looks firm!
However, this was not enough to convince a group of old miners of Robb’s “nonsense”, Jonny had to say with a bitter smile: “Okay, okay, I believe it.”
The so-called cannibalism has a short mouth and a soft hand to hold people.
Johnny and dozens of refugees from Source Stone Canyon now rely on Robb’s church to distribute potatoes to live. Simply has no right to object. Robb asks him to dig, and he can only dig. It’s not a question of believing or not, but a question of believing or not.
Being suspected, Robb was not angry, and asked Lillian to prepare some tools and hand them over to Jonny and the miners from the source stone canyon, and let them mine tomorrow.
The miners and stoners have made arrangements now, but half of the dozens of people who escaped this time are farmers, and they still have something to say.
The farmers gathered around Robb and said pitifully: “Father, you just arranged for us to settle down in Westwind Town and grow sugar beets for a living, and we are very grateful to you. But it’s only the end of August, and it takes a lot to grow sugar beets. It won’t be until the spring of next year. The beet needs to be sown in spring. It blooms from May to June and bears fruit in July… How can we live from now until the spring of next year? We can’t eat yours all the time. With yours, you still can Is there anything else to do to keep us afloat?”
“Oh? That’s a question. I also don’t like dozens of people living in my house from summer to next spring.” Robb said with Holding his chin in one hand, he said, “Okay, before the arrival of next spring, you will plant potatoes temporarily. The end of August is the season for sowing potatoes. I will give you a batch of potatoes to sow. Before the potatoes are mature, you will Just work for me first. The job content is to help me harvest and process beets. By next spring, you will grow your own beets.”
“What?” The farmers were a little confused: “We understand planting potatoes. But helping you harvest and process beets is a little bit confusing. Where can you harvest beets?”
Robb said with a smile: “It’s not simple to want beets? I’ll do it now. Start planting!”
A farmer immediately stood up: “Father, we just told you that it is not suitable to plant beets this season. The beet seeds you have should be from the last one. It’s better to wait until next spring to plant the crops. If you can plant sugar beets now, we don’t need to surround you for help.”
Lillian hurried over and explained in a low voice: ” My family’s Master grows crops without looking at the solar terms, just relying on the grace of God.”
The farmer looked bewildered: “What the hell?”
“Well, I’ll tell you now You won’t get it either.” Lillian said, “Anyway, you’ll get it soon.”
Robb took out the three beet seeds the adventurer brought him last time.
These beet seeds have been brought back for several days, but Robb has been lazy and lazy to sow seeds, but on the one hand, the desire to eat sugar finally defeated the lazy cells in his body, forcing him to get up Variety of beets.
The second aspect is that he really doesn’t like a group of people staying in his own home. If he doesn’t find something to do for these people to go out and settle down, he feels that his life is unhappy.
Therefore, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed, and want to be lazy forever is a false proposition, unless you can be heartless, cut off all the troubles in the Human World, and don’t care about any foreign The object is moved, not trapped by any human feelings, selfish and only caring for yourself, but then you are also equivalent to cut off all social relationships.
Humans are group animals.
Only the protagonists of cultivation novels can be ruthless, but those protagonists are not real people at all, they are all immortals. Don’t Immortals often say: “Don’t worry about the floods outside, don’t interfere with Lao Tzu’s cultivation.”
Robb doesn’t want to live like a fairy.
The farmers watched as Robb came to the edge of the field and planted the beet seeds into the field one by one.
Now the church has two plots, one is on the hillside, with a relatively large area, and the other is in the church yard, with a relatively small area.
These two fields have already been used to plant a wave of potatoes, and they have harvested tens of thousands of pounds. Robb, the lazy guy, only harvested one wave to eat, so he was too lazy to plant a second wave, so that the two All the land is vacant.
And now, in order to make these source stone canyon farmers work, they have to work hard again.
The farmers saw that he planted the seeds into the fields with a very lame method, then took a symbolic watering of the annual kettle, patted his buttocks and returned to the stone chair, his body was paralyzed as soon as he became weak He fell down and complained, “I’m exhausted from labor and capital. Farming is really hard.”
“What are you looking at?” Robb said: “Go to the hillside and find a place to build a house first. If you don’t know how to build a house, go to the carpenters from Baihua Town and pay them for help. As for As for the reward, put it on my head first. When you harvest the sugar beets for me tomorrow, I will pay you wages, which will be paid to the people in Baihua Town. In addition, you have to reclaim wasteland, plant potatoes, and work quickly. , don’t waste your precious time here. By the way, at this time tomorrow, remember to come to me and help me harvest beets, and then I will teach you how to make sugar.”
“What? Harvest tomorrow?”
“Sugar making?”
The farmers were confused, and Robb didn’t bother to explain, and said to Lillian: “These are your fellow villagers, you are responsible for going there. Explanation, alright, I was exhausted just now, so I need to rest for a while.”
He reclined on the stone chair. Facing myself, I released the Wind Element magic to blow the wind. The wind blown by the magic is really soulless, making people feel uncomfortable at all. It seems that I have to call the blacksmith and reassemble a fan…
Well, forget it, just use the magic container reluctantly now.
Close your eyes, and in your ears you can hear Zhi Zhi in the mountains and forests screaming desperately, and Lillian whispering to the farmers to explain “the miracle of harvesting crops overnight”, and the miners Talking to each other, doubting whether we can mine gems tomorrow… These noises are not annoying, it has the taste of life.
Life in Westwind Town is actually pretty good, and it’s worth Robb’s effort to defend!
