Infrastructure maniacs from the East

If someone can fly high into the sky, they will find a large number of locusts covering the coastline of the Eastern Continent like yellow clouds, and they are still expanding at a frightening speed and even eager to try to march towards other places. Wherever they pass All the plants will be the same as their bodies without a trace of green. For the vast majority of civilians who live on wild vegetables, this is a symbol of death.

Nobles who have a lot of stored food would rather let it rot and go bad than take out some to help the common people, they will not worry about their stomachs. The overwhelming locusts are just an annoyance that they can’t go out for a while. They are good at using various names The church whose taxation status is still higher than that of the nobles does not worry about these things. The oil and water that was handed over when worshiping the Almighty Lord is enough to allow even religious members in the baron's territory to live a good life without a face.

The only people who will suffer are the common people and they will only be common people. After all, they are the wealth of the master. The lamb of God will not be regarded as a real person, even if they will be cold and hungry, have their own love and hurt, and will bleed on the upper class. It is not worth mentioning in the eyes. Of course, the losses suffered during the locust plague must be recovered from these leaders and serfs. Of course, the wealth of the Holy See that died in the locust plague storm also needs double or even multiple compensation from these pious lambs.

After all, lambs eat milk that is squeezed from grass, and if they are killed, they can still eat meat and bones, and they can also be used to make musical instruments.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced these things to imagine what life people in this era lived. In fact, even in the [-]th century when they went to Tibet to emancipate the serfs, there were still nobles who were proud to use human skulls to drink, but now they wear all kinds of clothes. Most of the Western countries with all kinds of pious appearances were born pirates and participated in slave trade to accumulate primitive capital. It’s just that they have washed their feet and landed on the surface, but those things in their bones will never change and sin will never disappear.

Humans are actually a very tolerant race, as long as they have something to eat and can’t starve to death, they can struggle to survive, and if someone even snatches their last rations, these people who were not considered in the past will become Becoming a real beast, it is not good for honest people to provoke rabbits to bite people when they are in a hurry. Although the nobles have always emphasized the theory of blood birth, but seeing their relatives for various unnecessary reasons How can there be no resentment in the hearts of the dead?

Have you ever seen a spring that is pressed to the extreme?

For thousands of years, the nobility and religion have been in constant reincarnation. Every time the common people are pushed into a corner, they will provoke a backlash that destroys them. Then new members of the Holy See appear and the nobles rise to the top. After a period of time, the common people have a good life again. The repeated pressing step by step did not arouse anyone's reflection.

There are many reasons for this. Xu Tian, ​​who has studied politics and history, knows the dangers of land annexation and the concentration of social wealth, so he does his best to take from the people and use them to the people. There is nothing wrong with trying to make the people live a better life, but in this era where parchment scrolls are still used to record knowledge and there are dozens of so-called aristocratic languages, even history is full of mistakes and omissions (Wei Guang, who shaped his own image, is too many people).

Learn from history?Summarize the analysis of the records of each great turmoil in the aristocratic class?

dreaming too!

The efforts made by Xu Tian and Febrina throughout the day were not in vain. Although the insects in the air were still densely packed, if you check carefully, you can find that the number is significantly less. What makes the lord even more happy is that the fields and forests are still within the protection range. A lot of green remains, although it is destined that there will be no harvest in the field, but it will allow the locusts to stay here for a while, so that everyone can catch more and come back to make up for more losses, and the most important granary and other places are always safe .

"Stable."

On the first day, there was a lot of things going on without rehearsal. Lord Xu saw that the managers were all in a state of distress, and then he looked at the rhubarb all over the sky outside and rolled up his sleeves to solve the most important problems. After demonstrating the problem, I signaled everyone to take over, and then, like an octopus, I helped the management to check for gaps and fill in the gaps, so that the management gradually got started. The rare rosiness on the face disappeared and the voice became hoarse at the end of the day. It is not at all easier than correcting documents.

Fortunately, these managers grew up much faster under Xu Tian's guidance, giving the lord who had almost given up hope for his salted fish dream a little hope, so even after a day of tiredness, he was still in good spirits.

"Lord, you have something to drink first."

Summer is hot and locusts are rampant. Considering Xu Tian's current state, Melelle brings over a glass of unrefrigerated honey water. Although it does not feel cool and refreshing, it will not cause more irritation to the lord's throat. See Watching his master sip and sip to quench his thirst without even daring to swallow, the housekeeper silently replaced the noodles made tonight with egg and meat porridge.

"It's time to light the fire."

No matter what humans are facing, the sun always rises and sets as usual. When watching the fiery sunset today, there are countless small black spots that are not pleasing to the eye. Xu Tian endured until the fiery red ball completely It was only after disappearing on the horizon that he gave the order. The already hoarse voice could only distinguish words by mouth. Fortunately, the housekeeper who was willing to learn knew some lip language.

The firewood as tall as a person was placed on the flat ground, and a five-meter-radius isolation zone was cleared beside it. The thick firewood piled up neatly not far away seemed somewhat pleasing to the eye. They will support this The blazing fires were kept on all night, and there were people guarding each fire to ensure that these sharp weapons for eliminating locusts would not get out of control. Xu Tian, ​​who had heard of the terrible wildfires in Australia, had never dared to treat this kind of human beings. A tamed weapon returns lightly.

This time, there is no need to spread the word over and over again. When the fire at the gate of the castle was lit, the people guarding the firewood also carefully released the kindling to ignite the flames. They were fully armed and waited for the locusts and various small insects in front of the raging heat wave. Since throwing himself into the trap, Xu Tian knew that these people were not easy, so he prepared three groups of people to exchange, otherwise he was really worried that someone would faint or become dehydrated directly due to the harsh environment, which might be life-threatening!

Locusts are also insects, and the [-]cm-long locusts with sharp mouthparts are also insects. They are also phototaxis and fire-fighting moths. Xu Tian does not intend to take the simple method of fumigation. After all, this season's food is destined to be insufficient. Come on, these little things can be burned to ashes and can be used to fertilize the cultivated land and drive out a woolen yarn!

The flames in winter are very warm, and the flames in summer are very hot. The sky is dry, the moon and stars are thin, which means that it has not rained for a while, and the temperature will naturally cool down. At this time, they realized how prescient the oversized clay pots with straws and lids prepared by the lord were. They stood or sat with reed poles as straws to replenish water and watched the arrogant locusts scrambling to find their own death during the day.

The smell of burnt protein in the air gradually became stronger, and the flames were beating slightly because of the many locusts that rushed to the fire. The fire watcher, who was so hungry and stuffed everything into his mouth, smelled a familiar burnt aroma, and thought about it for a long time. Knowing that it’s the smell of these high-protein roasts, someone wanted to grab two of them to taste the taste, but then withdrew their hands after remembering Xu Tian’s emphasis, and the fires were densely distributed like stars in Feibu This small place like Rina devours all creatures that rush in.

In some places, there are a lot of locusts, and they pounce on them layer by layer, making the flames gradually weaken. At the critical moment, the fire watcher fiddles with the fire with big branches and throws firewood in to provide raw materials. A blood.

Changing shifts and bringing water and firewood, Lord Xu, who has long been ignorant of what a healthy routine is, rarely goes to bed early, and Melelle kneels beside him to help the Lord massage to relieve fatigue. The master who has completely fallen asleep is just Occasionally, there are two vague responses. There are institutional reasons for being able to hold power at a young age, but the effort put in to pull Febrina up with one hand is unimaginable to most people. Only Lord Xu gritted his teeth when he was in a good mood. If you persevere, the flesh on your body will never grow back.

"Lord..."

Meler sighed slightly as he looked at the man who had completely fallen asleep. He still didn't understand why such a good lord came here, and how his master could work hard for the development of the territory. The nobleman his father said There is no similarity with this young man at all, and the so-called noble people and masters who were saved after the flood came were not from the same path.

"...May you have a sweet dream."

He was very curious about everything about his master, but Xu Tian would never ask him if he didn't take the initiative to mention it. This is the housekeeper's ethics and a kind of respect.

***

When Xu Tian got up, it was already daylight. Although the number of locusts outside was still a little scary, it was obviously less than a large part. The smell of burnt protein has not disappeared since the night fell last night to the morning light today. I am full. The shift changers felt hungry again when they smelled the smell and thought about the various insect delicacies they had eaten before, but the lord strictly forbade them to eat the big locusts that had changed the color of their clothes and had grown a section, so they could only swallow their saliva While hypnotizing myself, I don't want to eat at all.

It was also very hard work.

The lord's voice still hasn't recovered, and the dark circles under his eyes are better because of adequate sleep. His youthful energy is at the peak of his life. Xu Tian dared to sleep for a few hours because he was still young--what should I do when I get old?It's good to be able to live a good life now. To put it bluntly, in this world where a cold can kill everyone, Xu Tian never thought that he would be able to die.

A bowl of meat porridge is both a thirst-quenching drink and breakfast. I went outside and checked to make sure there would be no major problems. Then the lord sat at the table and corrected the documents. This is a daily routine that I am not used to and I don’t like, but I have to do it. Straighten your back The teacup next to the young man contained room temperature water with honey, and the pastry was quietly replaced by the housekeeper with mung bean cake that could be eaten without chewing.
