Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 20 Planning for the Home Office
After waking up the next morning, Qu Mao pretended that nothing happened the night before.I took Sunan and Zhang Da to the bamboo forest first, and made more than 200 bamboo tubes to hold water in one go. It is estimated that each bamboo tube can hold 500-700 ml of seawater.

Except for summoning Ake to kill a tiger in the middle, Qu Mao spent almost all his time making bamboo tubes to hold water in the bamboo forest. More than 200 bamboo tubes were made in one morning, and it was Zhang Da and Sunan who used their own tools to participate in the production.

Put more than 200 empty bamboo tubes into the backpack, and they only occupy one space when stacked.

Qu Maocai took Sunan and Zhang Da to the stream to wash their mouths and face, and collect fish caught in fishing traps.Let Zhang Da and Sunan hold a bundle of bamboo each, and when they returned to the lord's hut, Su Qiaoer had already prepared breakfast, which was broth made with a little salt.

With kitchen knives and iron pans, as well as rough bamboo spatulas made by Qu Mao, Su Qiaoer made more and more tricks in the meals.

Breakfast is still in the living room of the lord's hut, and Qu Mao arranges tasks while eating: "Taking advantage of breakfast time, I will arrange today's tasks for everyone.

Jia Sixie and Franklin took care of the corn that was planted yesterday. If they have spare time, they can go to the edge of the territory to cut wood and continue to expand our arable land.

Sunan and Zhang Da, you escort Su Qiaoer to search in the surrounding woods, but you can't leave the lord's hut for a mile at most. You mainly look for wild condiments and wild fruit trees. If there are condiments or wild fruit tree seedlings, Just dig the whole plant back and let Jia Sixie and Franklin plant it on the edge of the territory.

Zhang Da, I won't take your spear with me when I go out today.The inferior stone grass was given to Sunan for self-defense.

The internal affairs officer and I will go to the seaside, inspecting the topography of the deserted island, and pouring sea water at the same time.If you are lucky, you may bring back some seafood for everyone.

Everyone knows their mission, right?
After breakfast, we went our separate ways.

Su Yan, eat quickly, and follow me to the beach after eating. "

When he came back last time, Qu Mao had already searched for a certain distance on the east beach, and walked back with three prisoners for more than three hours.

This time, Qu Mao and Su Yan walked along the creek to the east beach. It was at most three or four kilometers from the lord's hut along the creek to the beach, and it took about an hour to walk there.

Along the way, Qu Mao made full use of calling Ake to kill wild beasts every three hours. The journey was not in a hurry, and there was a cheating system to remind him anytime and anywhere, so there was no need to worry about any danger along the way.

So on the way, Qu Mao told Su Yan about the terrain of the entire deserted island, but after Qu Mao refused to help Su Yan restore the country last night, Su Yan's mood has been very low.

From waking up in the morning until now, Su Yan has not spoken much.

When approaching the beach, Qu Mao finally introduced the terrain of the deserted island to Su Yan.

Seeing that Su Yan still didn't talk to him, Qu Mao had no choice but to say: "Su Yan, after all, you are the internal affairs officer of my territory, my lord is talking to you about important matters in the territory, why don't you talk to me?
The other citizens were all there last night. I can't reply to you in front of other people about such a big matter as your restoration of the country.

What a big plan it is to restore the country. We now only have one gold coin, and the leaders count me as seven. There are not enough tools, resources, or technology.Aren't I bragging when I say help you restore the country?
It's true that I'm the Chosen One, but the Chosen One can't conjure resources out of thin air.I think we should survive on the small island first, and then develop slowly after we are done. Let’s talk about your restoration of the country when we have the ability. "

Su Yan raised her head and stared at Qu Mao for a long time, before she said: "Sir, it's not that I don't know the current situation, but I'm unwilling to accept the destruction of the Duchy of Tassel.

The Liusu Principality was united by my father's best friends and subverted by conspiracy. My parents died with nothing to rest in peace. If I don't take revenge, how can I be a daughter? "

Qu Mao wanted to pat Su Yan on the back to comfort him, but after raising his hand, he just brushed his hair and said: "We will talk about the restoration of the Tassel Principality later when we have time, and when we have time, we will talk about it later." Now that you are strong, think about how to deal with those bastards who betrayed your father.

Now, I want to hear more about your plans for the future development of our Yi Village territory.

If the territory of Yi Village is not developed, your own dream of restoring the country will be a castle in the air, right? "

Su Yan thought about it seriously, and said: "My lord, according to your description, this island is actually not very big, but it's not particularly small, so it shouldn't be a big problem to develop it all to support a million people.

The creek we followed along the road was no more than one meter wide and two feet deep, and it served no other purpose than providing some fresh water.

Even if we want to intercept the river and use it as irrigation water for the island, I'm afraid the amount of work is not something that the current seven people in our territory can complete.

There are too many estuaries, tidal flats and swamps here, so it is not suitable to be developed into a port, but a fisherman's wharf can be considered.

In the future, when the number of local people increases, the local people can be allowed to fish along the coast.

The large stretch of beach to the east, just like Yancheng in the Duchy of Liusu, was directly turned into a salt farm.

The northern cliff you mentioned is too high and can provide natural defense for our territory, so I won't say much.

If the west and south sides are really as you said, the height of the cliffs does not exceed 20 meters. My subordinates think that in the future, warship docks and sea ship shipyards can be built on the west and south sides, but I don’t know if there is a natural harbor. Even if there is no natural seaport, the subordinates think that developing a military port is of great value. Of course, we need enough manpower and resources to do this.

Although the escape was rather hasty and it was dark at that time, if my impression is correct, this island is only about 300 kilometers away from Yancheng Port in the Principality of Liusu. Is there any closer land in other directions? Based on what I have learned before Looking at the mainland map, Yancheng Port should be the nearest port, and there should be more than one small island in this sea area.

I wonder if adults have seen other islands on other seasides when they explored the main island? "

Qu Mao recalled it seriously, and finally said helplessly: "I didn't notice it at the time, but it's more likely that I didn't, because in my impression, I can't see any other land on the seaside, I can only see the sea and the sky. "

Su Yan nodded and said: "Since you said that, at least it means that there are no other islands within a radius of 10 kilometers, but there should be other islands within a radius of 10 kilometers and a radius of 50 kilometers. If we have the strength in the future, we can also go there. develop.

As long as we take this deserted island as the basis, and when the population is large enough, we can develop one or two small islands, and the arable land can feed tens of millions of people, then we will have at least one million troops.

At that time, we can develop externally and go to the main mainland to develop our power.First of all, we can start with trade. After this beach becomes a salt farm, it will not be a problem to supply tens of millions of people, and even a lot more can be exported to the mainland, and enough gold coins can be exchanged for selling sea salt.

Part of the gold coins exchanged is used to develop our territory, and the other part is used to buy armaments, and even hire mercenaries to help us expand our sphere of influence..."

Qu Mao and Su Yan were on the edge of the beach, filling seawater into diabolo tubes, and chatting about the future development plan of Yi Village territory.

"Your plan is very good. My lord is really looking forward to that day." Qu Mao said with emotion, glanced at his feet, and said bitterly, "But look, now my lord doesn't even have a pair of shoes. Running around barefoot.

Take a look at my lord's clothes again, can the clothes made of burlap still be called clothes?It's not too bad to be called a cloth, so I think, Su Yan, let's be realistic, take your time and don't rush.

After we have consolidated the territory and have sufficient resources, I will take you to other seasides, and even take you to search the entire deserted island.

By the way, my lord also searched to see if there are any missing materials that can be collected, or if there are any resources that can be exploited sustainably. "

Su Yan looked up at Qu Mao's torn clothes, and said, "My lord, there is still a bundle of fabric in the warehouse of the territory. After I go back, my subordinates will sew a robe for you..."

Qu Mao laughed and said, "Su Yan, don't brag. I've never heard of a princess who can sew. Maybe you take the fabric back to your room and ask Su Qiaoer to sew it for you..."

Su Yan glared at Qu Mao, she didn't speak, she kept her head buried in the sea water.

Qu Mao and Su Yan had been busy for five or six hours at the beach, and every three hours Qu Mao would use the shortest time to kill a beast under the prompt of the cheating system to obtain 1 cheating point.

Of course, it doesn't take so much time to fill more than 200 bamboo tubes with seawater.

At the beach, Qu Mao and Su Yan walked the 5-kilometer-long beach back and forth. sea ​​fish.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, Qu Mao greeted Su Yan and walked towards the territory along the stream.

Before three o'clock in the afternoon, Qu Mao and Su Yan had already returned to the territory.

After handing all the sea fish and oysters to Su Qiaoer, Qu Mao said, "Su Qiaoer, add dinner tonight!
But now my lord wants to requisition the iron pot, and it will be used until the sun goes down, so I have to use the iron pot to dry the salt. "

More than 200 bamboo tubes filled with seawater are now in Qu Mao’s or Su Yan’s backpack, adding up to more than 100 liters of seawater. The capacity of the iron pot is no more than 5 liters at best. Qu Mao is also worried about the seawater in the iron pot Too much impact on evaporation, I am afraid that the evaporation will not be completed when the sun is completely set, but the seawater brought back will be wasted.

So Qu Mao just poured two bamboo tubes of sea water into the iron pot, and then moved the iron pot outside the yard, and put it in a place where it can be directly exposed to the sun.

After doing the salt drying, Qu Mao shouted: "Although you have all had lunch, go back to the living room of the lord's hut first. Let's have a meeting and talk about the search situation in the morning and the task in the afternoon by the way. Adjustment!"
