Volume 6: Helping the World Chapter 201 Please come to the bowl~
The winter on the grassland has reached its coldest two months, which are the days for the Snow Wolf warriors to conduct field training as usual.
Last year's training camp rescued the members of the Ayi tribe. This year, the destination was changed to the northeastern, southeastern and northern regions that had not been visited before. The Snow Wolf tribes scattered on the grassland were running around due to migration and other reasons, and some tribes had never been found before. In winter, these tribes could not move around, so it was the time to put effort into finding people.
The five hundred soldiers were divided into two teams, one led by Yu and the other led by Xiaohua and Atian. They took sleds loaded with supplies and set off separately.
The warriors left, taking away the expectations of their tribesmen as well as their envy, jealousy and hatred - these guys were the only group that could openly escape the winter study arrangements!
"What the hell is this fuel combustion radiation formula?! What the hell is this combustion efficiency definition?? Why should I, the great Master Austin, learn these inexplicable things?!!"
The cold wind is howling outside the window, but it is warm as spring inside the house.
The table on the kang was filled with exercise books, homework books, and hand-copied junior high school physics textbooks. On one side of the table sat Balk, who looked disgusted, Evelyn, who rolled her eyes secretly, and Sean, who looked expressionless. On the other side sat Xiao Yun, who looked expressionless. On the table at the inner end sat a little green dragon who was in a rage.
"How can this be inexplicable? Thermodynamics is the physics that studies the properties and laws of matter when it is in a thermal state. Just like when you dragons use dragon breath magic, the heat energy generated by different powers of dragon breath magic and the ignition point effects on different substances are also different. The law of conservation of different forms of energy during transmission and conversion is also a part of thermodynamics. If you understand this, can't you use dragon breath magic more efficiently~~"
Xiao Yun stretched out his tone to persuade, his voice was quite sincere, but his attitude was a little impatient.
"Uncle Austin, do you still need to teach me how to use dragon breath magic?" Austin raised his two short hands and blew the exercise book away, his dragon face ferocious, "Burn it! Burn it hard!!"
Xiao Yun stared at her for a few seconds, then turned to Balke and said, "It's really unfair for you to have such a stubborn father who refuses to make progress, Balke. Okay, let's ignore him and continue with our class."
Balk was already unhappy that Auston came to disturb their class, and he raised his chin and glared at him fiercely: "It was you who insisted on coming here to join in the fun. If you don't want to listen, at least keep quiet!"
"S-smash it?!" Auston opened his mouth in hurt.
Balk had already turned his head to discuss the issue of gas engine fuel with Evelyn and Sean...
Auston folded his hands and listened to their discussion with grievance, trying to find an opportunity to interrupt and show the presence of the wise green dragon father. Half an hour later, he flapped his wings and flew out of the room in a daze... the presence of the brush hair! He couldn't even understand what he was listening to!
The collective dormitories of the Snow Wolf Clan were also built shoulder to shoulder in rows. Next to the dormitory where Balk lived was the group of cat magic apprentices who were doing a sea of homework. All of them were lying on the tables to do their homework. Austin leaned over the window to take a look inside and then flapped his wings and flew away. He had no interest in going in to play.
The next room over was the study group of the Fire Department's top executives. Austin leaned over the window and looked out. He saw that they were no longer a group of people doing homework, but were sitting opposite each other and talking. He immediately squeezed open the door and flew in.
"The construction of Farm No. 2 has been completed... the farm area has been demarcated... the fertilizer needs to be transported..."
"The total loan amount is 16,900 gold coins, the annual interest rate... the interest rate... the minimum annual repayment amount..."
"Take the Yongzhen tribe as an example. Their tribe must produce at least a certain amount of sweet potatoes every year to be able to repay the minimum loan amount..."
The strings of numbers reported by Snow Flower, the chief accountant of the Fire Department, made Austin feel dizzy and dizzy. He staggered to the shoulder of the Grassroots Chief and grabbed his hair before he could barely stand.
"If we throw this number out rashly, it will definitely scare people, and maybe even scare off the Yongzhen tribe. Let's do as we discussed before and collect three years of rent, seeds, fertilizers, agricultural teaching fees, etc. in an interest-based manner. After things stabilize, we can discuss whether to continue using the housing and public facilities provided by the Fire Tribe in a rental model, or to pay to buy them out." Chief Arthur shook his head.
Naturally, everyone would not object to this and nodded. Qingyan looked at Xuehua again and said, "I suggest that we make some changes to the repayment interest of a single tribe and the overall consistent repayment interest, so as to influence the cat tribe to merge with the repayment policy, so as to avoid the trouble of managing each tribe separately."
Xuehua nodded, and immediately picked up a pen and started to figure out how to arrange the repayment rate to be more appropriate...
Xia Dao: "The repayment policy has an impact on one aspect, and we are taking the initiative to host it on the other. We cats are very cautious and arrogant, so it is unlikely that we can expect their tribes to voluntarily merge. It is better to imitate the model of the Hilly New District and set up a management team for each farm similar to Hongye's. We can exert external forces to promote the integration of the cat tribes into a big family."
"It would be great if we could do that, but the problem is that we don't have that many people right now." Grassroots Chief said, "Just Farm No. 1 alone, you, Qingyan, and Chief Arthur are already tied up, so who can we send to Farm No. 2 and Farm No. 3?"
Lan Guo also nodded and said, "The Hillside New District accepted more than 4,000 gray dwarves and more than 1,000 goblins at a time without any trouble. That's because Hongye has been leading there for several years. The management model is mature and we just need to follow the routine. As for the cat tribe, we have to start all over again."
Xuehua, the accountant, was very practical. She smiled and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Taking over Farm No. 2 means taking on a debt of more than 16,000 gold coins. The pressure is huge."
Hearing this, the big cats present were sweating...
Xia thought about it, shook his head and said, "After all, Farm No. 2 is a farm invested by the whole tribe. It is different from Farm No. 1. I think it is necessary to work hard in the early stage and build Farm No. 2 into a model farm for attracting cats."
The Grassroots Chief was surprised: "Xia, do you want to take on this responsibility?"
Xia smiled and said, "I can't do it alone. I need the tribe to assign a team to me." After a pause, Xia added, "The thirteen cat tribes in Farm No. 2 volunteered to join, so the management can be more 'down-to-earth' than Farm No. 1. I think Farm No. 2 doesn't need to be managed by only our cat tribe like Farm No. 1."
The senior officials in charge of the Fire Department looked at each other and at the same time turned their eyes to Lan Guo.
Lan Guo spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. I have plans. Ayun wants to open up the sandy land below the Snake Vine Valley to grow sweet red fruit. The Snake Department's experimental fields have confirmed that the sweet red fruit grows better in sandy land farther south. If nothing unexpected happens, I will lead a group of people to open up a red fruit plantation in the spring."
The yield of sweet red fruit is much higher than that of wheat, with one acre of land easily producing four or five thousand kilograms, and it is more suitable for making sugar than wheat. The red fruit introduced from Bolton Territory can be planted and survive, so it would be strange if Xiao Yun didn't plant this thing...
In addition, the cultivation standard of Blue Fruit is the same as that of Red Leaf, and he will be sent out to build a new district (the future satellite city). If he is transferred from the first engineering team, he will inevitably take on a bigger task. We can't let him run a cat farm to waste talent~
The grassroots tribe leader gritted her teeth and had a headache... She could now understand more and more why Ayun always complained that there were not enough people and talents.
Austin had an even bigger headache, he flew out with his paws holding his head in silence - it was so hard to finally have some days of rest, without having to drain the sweet potato flour every day, he didn't want to hear these people complaining about having no staff to do the work.
I flew to several dormitories, and found that some were discussing work, others were concentrating on doing homework, or a room full of people racking their brains to figure out how to write a 200-word essay that was coherent, fluent, and meaningful...
Auston was suspended in the howling cold wind, letting the snowflakes hit the dragon's face. The entire dragon was gray - was the Fire Department poisonous? !
In desperation, an extremely honest face suddenly popped up in Auston's mind, and he immediately accelerated and rushed to dormitory 1-2, where Niu Jiao lived... Among all the workaholics, Niu Jiao is the only one who can save his heart!
"Niu Jiao? He's not here. The snow is very heavy today, so he went to take care of the blessing tree." In dormitory No. 1-2, the snow werewolf was sitting on the kang, biting the tip of a pen in pain, with a silly and cute look on his face.
"Blessed trees? The two trees the forest elves used to fool you?"
The Snow Wolves looked at each other and said, "You're trying to fool us? Are you talking about the Blessing Tree?"
"Isn't the blessing tree good? It's growing very healthy."
"That's right, Auston is talking nonsense again!"
Austin flapped his wings and flew away, too lazy to bother with those snow werewolves.
The two blessing trees are still planted in the open space behind the cafeteria, and a wall has been built around them with cement bricks - mainly to prevent the naughty snow wolf cubs from coming over and causing trouble.
On the way to the cafeteria, Austin was almost hit by a snow wolf cub that flew out from the heavy snow.
He quickly dodged and looked angrily at the cub who almost knocked him away; the uneducated orc cub got up, casually shouted "Sorry" and rushed into the snow again.
“Ouch——!!”
“Hahahaha, I can’t catch it!”
"Don't run Primo!"
"Stupid Wool, stop biting my feet!"
"Bah! Ah Shui, you didn't change your pants!"
"Oops, Moss fell down, hahahaha!"
Auston's face changed a little, and his temper disappeared. He silently flew a big circle and avoided the dangerous area - when that damn human walker Primo played with the snow wolf cubs, the destructive power of both sides at least tripled! !
Finally it flew to the place, and using its wings and hands and feet to climb over the three-meter-high wall, Austin finally saw the horns... This lovable big guy was diligently shoveling snow inside the fence, not caring about the heavy snow that was still falling. In a short while, the snow covered the ground he had shoveled clean.
"Niu Jiao! Stop working and play with me!" Auston shouted while leaning on the wall.
"Busy!" Niu Jiao said without even turning his head.
"I told you to stop being busy!"
"Busy!"
“…”
Auston glared angrily at Niu Jiao who was busy with his own business. Unfortunately, the blessing tree of the forest elves hated him, and he couldn't fly in...
In the afternoon, while the "research team" with the highest learning progress continued to discuss the materials and designs of pneumatic cylinders and combustion boilers, Lord Austin sat at the end of the kang table with a drooping face, silently listening to his son's discussion with others and solving physics problems with a small charcoal pencil specially made for him...
——Sooner or later I will understand what you are talking about! Then I will let you idiots see the vast wisdom of Lord Austin! !
Aston thought angrily, writing quickly...
This winter, the Snow Wolf warriors who had traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers found three more Snow Wolf tribes, contributing to the population growth of the Fire Tribe. After several years of stable life, the female Snow Wolf tribe also instinctively had the idea of breeding. More than a hundred female Snow Wolf tribe members chose to go into heat this winter. As for whether they could have cubs, it would take until summer to find out. More than half of the first batch of magic apprentices of the Cat Tribe developed enough mental strength, graduated from apprentices, and stumbled to learn how to lead disciples...
The long winter passed, spring came, flowers bloomed, and the sun was shining. It was the seventh year since Xiao Yun came to this world, and the weather started off with clear and nice weather.
Chief Yongzhen led his tribesmen, driving cattle and sheep and carrying all their belongings, and began to move after the snow stopped. After half a month of traveling early in the morning and sleeping at night, eating wind and drinking dew, they were the first to arrive at Farm No. 2 next to the hilly new area.
"Welcome, welcome, Chief Yongzhen, thank you for your hard work along the way." Xia walked out of the makeshift shed and shook hands with Chief Yongzhen with a smile.
"Xia." When Chief Yongzhen saw that it was Xia (……), who was the most talkative, who was in charge of the work at Farm No. 2, he was very happy, "Are you here to lead us in the work? That's great!"
"Let's work together this year to build our new home." Xia said a few pleasantries to Chief Yongzhen with a smile, and brought him into the shed. "Let me introduce you. This is the chief of the Yongzhen tribe, and this one is Dominic, the agricultural technician who came to help our farm."
The red-chain snake Domini, who had beautiful red hair, red eyes and black skin, extended his hand enthusiastically to Chief Yongzhen: "Hello, Chief Yongzhen."
Chief Yongzhen: “…” He stretched out his hand stiffly and looked at Xia stiffly.
"Domini was the best employee in the Snake Tribe's production team during the land reclamation work last year. Our farm is also going to reclaim land this year, so Chief Huoyan has loaned Domini and several outstanding snake farm employees to help us." Xia seemed not to notice Chief Yongzhen's reluctance, and even put his arm around Domini affectionately...even though he had only started dealing with this snake guy since yesterday.
The agricultural technicians of the Snow Wolf Tribe of the Fire and Flame Tribe are indeed unable to be spared. Firstly, the Fire and Flame Tribe already has 26 farms to manage, and more will be added this year; secondly, the red fruit plantation is about to be started, and some of the existing Snow Wolf agricultural personnel will have to be squeezed out to distribute the blue fruit and take them to the south of the Snake Vine Valley to open up new territory.
The difficult problem of "no one is available" was thrown to Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun, who was busy with the "research and development" of the gas generator, twisted his mouth and said: The Fire Department can't spare anyone, and the Snake Department can't spare anyone either?
So Dominic and his snake friends came over.
Anyway, the cat tribe will "merge" with us sooner or later... uh, unite with us, so it's not a bad thing to get in touch with the snake tribe earlier~!
Ignoring Chief Yongzhen's discomfort, Xia forced the big cats to have a "friendly" meeting with the snake tribe. After introducing both sides, Xia took Chief Yongzhen and his tribesmen to visit the land reclamation artifact rented to them by the Fire Tribe - the pneumatic tractor!
After making up their minds and spending money to buy a batch of , making aluminum alloy pneumatic cylinders, and solving the material problem of the boiler, the Fire Department’s first batch of Type I pneumatic tractors was finally produced!
A tractor head that looks like a truck head, with steel-axle rubber (natural rubber extracted from the fruits, stems and leaves of combat trees) wheels at the four corners, but no iron cover and all its internal parts exposed, is parked quietly on the farm to be reclaimed.
A group of gray dwarves were on standby. After the people of the Yongzhen tribe took their positions and Xia signaled to start, the gray dwarves added black stones to the boiler, turned the blower (er...) to promote combustion, and added water to the trumpet-shaped pipes. A dwarf climbed onto the driver's seat and held the steering wheel shaped like a rudder with a serious look. When black smoke came out of the pipe extending from the boiler (due to incomplete combustion), the steam generated by the heated water pushed the piston to move and drove the gears, this strange three-dimensional box-shaped car began to move with a "thump thump" sound...
Xia didn't think anything was wrong at first, but when the tractor started moving, he realized the problem: "Wait, the triangular pears haven't been set up yet!"
Calling the big cats to help, the heavy triangular plow was hung on the special beam at the front and rear of the tractor. With the sound of "thump thump", the tractor moved forward, and the triangular plow hanging at the rear was deeply inserted into the soil...
"This thing can greatly reduce the manpower consumption when cultivating the land. Even if there are fewer people in our Yongzhen tribe, it will not delay the reclamation of land. Isn't it great?" Xia said proudly to the Yongzhen tribe leader.
Chief Yongzhen stared blankly at the huge triangular pear that a gray dwarf could "drag" to turn over the hard mud, and the speed was almost the same as when the snow wolf pulled the plow. The whole cat was confused and didn't hear what Xia said at all...
"Of course, using a tractor will incur some extra consumption, and you can't save on machine lubricants and black stones, but it is indeed much easier than relying solely on manpower to plow the land. This little effort is completely worth it... Chief Yongzhen , what do you think?" Xia smiled.
Chief Yongzhen finally came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Is this for us? What's the price?"
Xia laughed : "It's an exaggeration to say the price is too high, Chief Yongzhen, it's just a problem that can be solved with money!"
"Uh...you mean gold? Well, we don't have that thing..." Chief Yongzhen swallowed in embarrassment.
"You don't have to pay first, Chief Yongzhen. You can owe it first. When the farm you contracted has a harvest, you can repay with crops, just like the No. 1 Farm you saw last year." Xia patted his chest and said, "You can rest assured about this, Chief Yongzhen. Since we have invited you here, we must ensure that you can harvest something and get what you work for. You have seen the harvest of the Sunny Sky Tribe last year. If we work hard this year, the share at the end of the year will definitely not be worse than theirs!"
If it were the Chinese people who have suffered from the iron fist of society on the earth, they would definitely doubt whether the enemy is trying to cheat people or whether the unruly people want to harm me after hearing such a promise made by patting the chest...
On the grassland, even the most cautious big cat would find it difficult to see through this kind of borrowing first and repaying later "trap" and whether it would trap itself - at least at this moment, Chief Yongzhen didn't think that Xia was trying to get him into trouble. The big cat was so moved that he held Xia's paw affectionately: "You are so good to our Yongzhen tribe, Xia, we will always remember your kindness!"
Xia warmly and naturally put his arm on the shoulder of Chief Yongzhen: "It's too formal to say that, Chief Yongzhen, we are from the same tribe, we are one family!"
"Yes, yes, we are a family!"
Dominic and his snake friends looked at the intimate big cats with a smile, and no one thought there was anything wrong...
The aid policy of the Fire and Flame Division and the Snake Division is based on a formal contract and clear accounting model between brothers. What aid the Fire and Flame Division will provide, what the Snake Division will repay, and how it will repay are all clearly written on paper. Anyway, the Snake Division has no way out and can only listen to the command of the Fire and Flame Division. Something as pure as green grass can arrange the Snake Division clearly.
The cat tribe is more troublesome. These suspicious and wary big cats have a way out. At worst, they can just go their separate ways.
So the Fire Department had to "exploit" their labor in secret...
For example, at Farm No. 1, last year the Sunny Sky Tribe and four other cat tribes worked for the Fire Tribe for a year and happily went home with 60% of the harvest; it seemed that they had gotten a great deal, but in fact it was the Fire Tribe that made the least profit - the Fire Tribe only paid less than two months of labor from the Second Engineering Team and sent more than ten big cats, and got an entire well-built cat farm, ten newly reclaimed farms, and tens of millions of kilograms of extremely cheap vermicelli raw materials: sweet potatoes!
That 40% share of the output is like getting it for free!
How many years has Xiao Yun been teaching mathematics to the Fire Department? Which of us doesn't know this clearly!
The situation at Farm No. 2 is different. The thirteen cat tribes that signed the "work contract" came as a whole tribe. So if they want to continue to "exploit" the labor of the big cats, they have to work hard on the "property rights" of the farm and the "right to use" of the farm land - the latter is 30% of the output share (agricultural tax), and the former is the cost of purchasing farm housing, public facilities, and production tools, 16,000 gold coins, to be repaid slowly~
If this kind of "exploitation" were done openly, the cat tribe would figure out the accounts themselves and might even run away... After a long time, we can't expect them to never come to their senses, right?
To solve this problem, we naturally have to take various measures to tie the cat tribe to our chariot... ahem, we are all one family, and the sweat we put in is to make our lives better~!
Xia personally took the big cats of the Yongzhen tribe to settle down and showed concern for whoever he caught. In less than half a day, at least half of the big cats in the Yongzhen tribe remembered Xia's name and his extremely friendly face.
Not long after the Yongzhen tribe was organized to open up the wasteland, other cat tribes came one after another with their families; with each family that came, Xia repeated the model of treating the Yongzhen tribe, and gained countless admiration and trust.
Along with the rumbling sound of the cement mixer of A Yue's Engineering Team 2 and the rumbling sound of several tractors plowing the fields, the entire Farm No. 2 quickly started operating and engaging in production work under Xia's clever means.
Xia, who is looming to be the core of the Thirteen Tribes, looks confidently in the direction of the new hilly district - he knows that the person Ayun cares most about is Hongye, and one day, he will make his status higher than Hongye!
Just when Xia was full of confidence... Rosemary, with dead eyes, was also sent to Farm No. 2.
Xia: "You?! Why are you here!?"
"Haha." Rosemary twitched her lips and sneered, "Can you be more aware of your own ambition? If I leave this big farm in your hands, I'm afraid you'll shout slogans of independence one day? There are many such plots in Ayun's stories. I'm tired of hearing them!"
Xia was silent for a moment... and spoke with difficulty: "Who suggested that you come?" Ya didn't refute.
Rosemary shook her head: "Besides Ayun, who else can save me from the rabbit SHI hell?"
summer:"……"
"Don't worry, I'm just here to lead the way. After the pig farm is handed over, Brother Golden Cat will also come, and there will be others behind." Rosemary's slightly unhappy mood was greatly relieved after seeing Xia's dark face. She said happily, "You told the grassroots chiefs yourself that you can't do it alone. You need a team to influence the integration of the cat tribe. How can the tribe not meet your requirements!"
summer:"……"
"Don't look so grim. If you want power to play a positive role, you have to put it in a cage first. I've taught you this countless times in class~" Rosemary was even happier, her droopy eyes narrowed into crescents, "The Snake Department has held a management meeting. Even if our cat tribe ever merges, it will never be possible for anyone to have the final say! Just give up! Oh hahaha!"
