Lord of Rot

Chapter 302 I’m here to feed the chickens

"what?"

Old Baifa stood up holding the barrel, turned his head and looked outside: "Selling grain?"

The blacksmith apprentice who was sharpening his sword on the side nodded: "For some reason, the merchants who were robbing grains some time ago suddenly started selling grains cheaply. I heard that two food stamps can buy three portions of grains."

"The city gate must have been opened," he said while pouring water into the bucket, "Maybe the lord will transport the food in soon."

The apprentice chuckled: "It would be great if we can really transport food in. Food will definitely be cheap then! I bought a lot of food stamps from the steward before, which is enough for me to eat for half a year without doing anything."

Old Baifa nodded. He also had a lot of food stamps in his hand.

But he is not going to do anything and lie at home. He wants to build a new house for his family. When the food is sufficient, the food in his hand will also be money.

At that time, they bought food stamps at a discount. As long as they gave food according to the numbers on the food stamps, they would make money.

"I'm afraid that the lord will not admit his debt when the time comes." Old Baifa was quite worried.

The face of the apprentice who was still smiling slightly changed slightly: "Probably not."

"Haha, definitely not!" Old Baifa laughed and said, "I'm just kidding you."

Whether he was really joking or whether he was worried about this, only the old white hair himself knew.

the other side.

The road construction team, composed of more than a thousand people, left the gate of Iron Wall Castle.

"Is it really safe outside?" The short man with a big beard turned his head left and right.

In recent days, the door has been opened during the day. Although not many people entered or left the Iron Wall Castle, it seemed that the dead were not seen coming.

It didn't take much time from the moment people were trembling and frightened at the beginning to subtly thinking that it was really safe outside.

Walking with the bearded man was a strong woman. She carried a hammer on her shoulder and walked vigorously. She looked down at the bearded man and said, "Aren't you out already?"

The bearded man nodded: "Haha, yes."

"Stop! Quiet!"

Someone suddenly shouted loudly in front of him, and it was not easy to silence more than a thousand people.

Although no one was chatting loudly, the sound like the buzzing of flies continued to come.

"Quiet!" The leader shouted again, and the team finally became completely quiet.

The person who was selected to lead the team was a local leader, who naturally had a deterrent effect.

“Those who have tools, come to my left, and those who have no tools, come to my right!”

Someone had the courage to ask: "How is the salary calculated?"

The headman glanced in that direction, but people's heads were next to each other, and they couldn't tell who was talking just now because of the colorful things.

"Wait a minute and I'll divide them into groups! Those who complete the work will receive 3 bronze stars, and those who fail to complete the work will receive 1 bronze star! If you are reported for not doing anything at all, not only will you have no money, but you won't be able to use it tomorrow!"

"Bronze Star? Not food stamps?"

Someone who was thinking immediately thought of something. Could it be that food stamps are really going to be abolished?

The bearded and strong women all had tools in their hands and were assigned to smash stones in front.

Some people used manuscripts and hammers to smash stones, and a small number of people chopped down trees. The remaining people who had no tools could only use local materials, smashed small stones with big stones, and then spread small gravels on the road.

Thousands of people are working, and each group has its own work. There is no time to stop and take a breath.

At noon, people took out the dry bread they had brought with them and took a few bites, then drank water from the nearby mountain spring until they were full. After taking a short rest, they started to work again.

In the afternoon, the leaders will distribute the money.

At dusk, people have returned to the Iron Wall Fort one after another.

Some people are exhausted after working all day.

Some people plan to check the food quickly to see if the food stamps can still be used.

The inner fortress of the Iron Wall Fortress.

Li Qi pinched a handful of wheat and placed it in his palm, squatting down.

Five little chickens and five little ducks followed him chattering and quacking, crowded into a fluffy ball around his palm, and pecked at the wheat grains.

"Lily, what do you think of the method of haying?" Li Qi raised his hand and rubbed the head of a little yellow chicken. The chicken only cared about eating wheat and ignored him at all.

Lily replied: "By expressing your intention to the free people, he made people choose to spend the food stamps on a large scale amid panic and speculation, and then revealed the information to the merchants who were hoarding the food so that they could sell the food at low prices. Take back all the food stamps from the free people."

"But it will give people a strong sense of uneasiness," Li Qi said. "What I need is the stable development of Iron Valley."

But this is also a reality that cannot be helped. He needs labor force, not a group of people who collect some food stamps because of the price difference and then take the opportunity to pay for them.

The price of food changes frequently, but one food stamp can definitely buy one pound of food. Now Li Qi can't bear this. The extraordinary period has passed, so it is natural to change the monetary policy as soon as possible.

Soon, the 10 furry cubs finished the wheat grains in Li Qi's hand, but they still refused to leave. Instead, they started fighting with his fingers.

After his finger was pecked lightly, Li Qi raised his hand, and a little chicken jumped up and flapped its wings twice before falling to the ground.

"Chi Chi Chi Chi"

"quack"

Li Qi stood up, looked at Lily who was still thinking, and said: "Let people look at these little guys to see if their growth rate is normal. Always make sure how much food they have in their stomachs. Don't eat too much or go hungry." .”

"Yes" Lily nodded quickly.

These 10 little guys were fed the magical herbs from Laimao Shanju Village. Generally, it takes about 3 months for chickens and ducks to grow up. Li Qi was very curious about the changes in these chickens and ducks after 3 months.

If we could really raise giant chickens and ducks like monitor lizards, they might even be able to be used as mounts in battle.

The duck knight is amphibious on water, and the chicken knight can fly and run. He is definitely no worse than the bald ostrich knight.

At the same time, he also valued Lily very much. Not only could she write well, but she also knew how to think.

Li Qi intends to train Lily. Hay is destined to be unable to become a big boss. He has some unscrupulous methods in doing things. He must have someone who is as good as Hay and has a bottom line to stand on his head.

For now, Lily is very comfortable just being used as a secretary...

The candidates who will be sent to Beech Village, Lilac Village and Hazelnut Village are basically determined.

The population of the three villages is destined to be small. Except for the kerosene mine, the other two villages are mainly engaged in breeding, so a village can only send out about 100 people at most.

Only Zhenzi Village sent 200 people, mainly to protect the kerosene mine.

The remaining more than 3600 people stayed to work, and their strength was needed for the construction of Iron Valley.

At night, Li Qi was just sitting at the table preparing to eat when he suddenly saw the castle servant running quickly.

"Sir! Letter!"

He took the letter and opened it. It was a letter from Guy.

"After the monkey family found out that Guy controlled more than 200 elites, they didn't say anything? Guy's separation of the team from the Longship Castle means that he has betrayed the monkey leader."

Li Qi would not completely believe what was written above.

"Because La Bill was worried that his brother would kill him and threaten his status after he won the crown, so he chose to tolerate the betrayer Guy, just to gather helpful forces to first eliminate the already dead brother Dryden. .”

Shuijian Land has been considered by the Monkey Family for a long time. La wanted to say that he didn't care, but Monkey Baron Wells would definitely not give up.

What's more, they have invested a lot of manpower and financial resources, and they are no longer allowed to stop.

"There are only two possibilities"

Li Qi secretly said: "First, Wells can no longer take power and will not live long. La plans to consolidate his position first, and then slowly plot Shuijian Land. After all, in his opinion, the illegitimate son Guy is already the uncrowned lord of Shuijian Land. , it’s already our own thing.”

"Two, they are accumulating strength and preparing to take down the Longship Castle directly. The current peace on the surface is just an illusion."

Which direction things will eventually develop is actually very simple. The Monkey Family wants benefits from Shuijiandi, and they will know whether Mrs. Jielin will give them to them or not.

As long as she is willing to give, it doesn't matter what the real situation is, the purpose of blood-sucking cannibalization has been achieved.

If he doesn't give it, it doesn't matter whether Guy is still loyal to the monkey family. If he doesn't get any benefit, he can just grab a piece of meat.

The letter mentioned that La wanted to use the money to buy some immortality potions.

"Magic potion? I use it to feed the chickens."

I definitely can’t give that flower, or the magic potion to feed the chickens... let alone!

After eating the flower, no matter how you look for it, there will be a disaster in the monkey territory, and people will die on a large scale. It is equivalent to a magical biochemical weapon.

But if the medicine that can turn a lizard into a giant lizard really turns an old monkey into a giant and exceeds the upper limit of its lifespan, it will be troublesome.

It is too late to temporarily build Wall Maria.

"Have someone pick some lilac mushrooms and send them to the old monkey to replenish B1. Maybe he can live a few more days."
