Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 563 Whose orders are effective?

In the next few days, Zhou Xu basically stayed in the temple and worked on the follow-up planning plan.

In order to facilitate his work, he specially had a desk brought over and placed it in front of the main desk. At this moment, he was writing furiously with the quill in his hand.

After such a round of inspection, although it took a lot of time and energy, his ideas did become clearer.

On this trip, he will undoubtedly make some major changes to several lizard people's residences in the rainforest area!

Including the core tribe where the temple is located, there are a total of eight lizard people living in this rainforest area.

While it is helpful for them to accommodate more lizardmen to live in, the eight residential areas in each branch are also helpful for the lizardmen to collect the surrounding natural resources, thus reducing their life pressure.

In addition, in order to survive, there is no doubt that a large area of ​​​​fields has been cultivated near each residence, and a large number of fruits and vegetables have been planted, of which various tropical fruits account for the majority.

Compared with obtaining meat, it is easier to obtain fruits in this tropical rain forest, so fruits can be said to be a very important part of the lizard people's daily diet.

Most of these fruits have high sugar content and are very sweet. There is also a fruit that looks like a pineapple, but the flesh inside is very similar to a banana. It even tastes similar in texture and taste. After eating it, , the feeling of fullness is quite strong.

I heard from Bo Levin that this fruit is easy to grow and has a large yield. It is considered one of their staple foods.

Zhou Xu's current idea is to move these fields.

Without preparing to bulldoze the rainforest environment in large quantities, it is a pity that the limited internal space is taken up by these fields that are cultivated here and there.

What's more important is that these fields must not have been carefully considered when selecting the location. At this moment, in Zhou Xu's view, it has completely become an obstacle to his subsequent planning and development.

Isn't he planning to build a large farm on the plain outside? Just move over there.

Compared with rainforest areas, due to changes in terrain and environment, the humidity and heat in plain areas may not be as high, but they are not as cold and dry. Planting in similar environments should not be a big problem.

Of course, Zhou Xu would not issue relevant orders immediately. All the above are based on his analysis and reasoning.

I'm afraid of what might happen in everything. What if things don't work out?

By then, all the fields in the rainforest area will be bulldozed by him, and there will be no planting on the plain farm. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?

In this way, he still issued an order first, asking Zhao Geng, who was in the plain area at the moment, to transplant these fruits and vegetables and see them.

Anyway, the journey is not far. As long as the giant lizard is sent to provide transportation capacity, this trip will only be a matter of time.

In addition, although this rainforest area occupies a vast area, in Zhou Xu's opinion, the number of these eight residential areas is still too many.

He knew that the lizardmen did this to better obtain surrounding resources, but doing so would also lead to the dispersion of the labor force.

"Well, four should be enough, right?"

While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu used a quill to roughly circle four places on the animal skin map provided by Bolaiwen.

Two of the locations have ready-made residences. Once they are settled, all he has to do is send a construction team to rebuild them.

And the other two...

Since he plans to directly cut down half of the lizard people's eight existing settlements, in order to ensure that each settlement can evenly cover the area in this tropical rainforest, two settlements need to be adjusted. .

"Building roads, we definitely need to build roads inside!"

"Although the complex rainforest environment can provide some obstacles for the attackers during battle, it will also hinder our own transportation and development efficiency at ordinary times, which is not cost-effective."

The best example is undoubtedly their mountain soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the rainforest hindered their attack at first, they quickly trained mountain soldiers to continue the offensive.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that although the rainforest environment can bring advantages to the defender, this advantage is definitely not that great.

At least from Zhou Xu's perspective, it's not worth sacrificing his daily transportation and development efficiency in exchange for this advantage that may come in handy at some point in the future.

It is more practical to improve development efficiency. As long as you develop well enough, you don't need to be afraid of intruders.

When the time comes, just rush to destroy them before the other party steps into their border! Where do we need to take advantage of the environment?

Of course, building roads sounds easy, but it goes without saying how difficult it is to implement.

This difficulty not only requires a lot of manpower and material resources during the specific construction process, but also consumes a lot of time.

In fact, it takes a lot of effort just to completely determine the route.

This is not something you can just draw two lines on a map and it will be done. Careful on-the-spot investigation is required before starting construction on each section of road.

If there are any resources or other problems on the road, then the route must be detoured. It is definitely not something that can be done by riding a Athlon in one lap.

At this time, Zhou Xu was writing down the general plan and arrangement first, and he would look at the specific implementation details and arrangements when there was still time.

At the same time, at the Lizardmen's southern garrison camp, he finally returned here again after half a year. Thinking of this, Soros's mood was really complicated.

During this period, the lizardman soldiers stationed in the camp looked at him with a bit of hostility.

Soros is not surprised at all.

He had felt it as early as when Bo Levin took Tash and the others back to their clan to receive the title.

At the same time, he could basically guess what happened.

Judging from the previous performance of that old guy Bo Levin, it was impossible to say anything good about him. It was most likely that all the blame had been put on his head, portraying him as a traitor and traitor.

But Soros doesn't matter, as long as the king is here, all problems can be solved.

The simplest set of logic is, 'If I were really a rebellious minister and traitor, how could your Majesty entrust me with such a heavy responsibility? ’

With this set of rhetoric, Soros has basically convinced the group of lizard officer officers headed by Tash along the way.

Don't underestimate them, they can be said to be the backbone of their lizard-men army now.

Previously, Zhou Xu specifically called this group of lizard people to come over and reward them personally. It was with this in mind that he wanted to make these lizard people completely surrender to him.

In this way, after successfully convincing them, the attitude of other soldiers is a small problem.

Not to mention that Thoros is also one of the lizard people commanders who has been stationed at the border all year round. He also has many soldiers under his command.

Although Bolevin once deceived his subordinates by relying on his status as the 'high priest', now that he is back, as long as Tash and the others cooperate a little to re-establish their subordinates' trust in him, they can also It was something that happened all at once.

At the same time, the most important thing is that the reason why Bolevin had a transcendent status in the past was because the 'high priest' was the spokesperson of God, conveying God's orders to them.

But now that the gods have descended and begun to issue orders in person, then who’s orders are useful?
