Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"Settle down." Shaq guard Weng said angrily, "If it's farming, go to the chief and get a piece of farmland according to the map book. It's usually not far outside the town."

He was already used to it.

The promulgation of the Queen's New Deal attracted all kinds of people to come to the Kingdom of Shake, just to get a piece of land of their own.

The Kingdom of Shake was vast and sparsely populated, so they just allocated a piece of land randomly to these refugees, and they started farming without hesitation, and in the end they had to hand over the grain to themselves.

It does seem like a good deal.

"But... a farmer can't live in our town of Scone and just guard your field."

Although he was stating the facts, Guard Shaq still showed disdain unconsciously.

As a glorious warrior, he cannot help but look down upon farmers.

If this were the case in the past...

What should I do if there is not enough food?

Just steal from others.

In the traditional concept of the Shark people, those who work on the land are either servants who serve the strong, or they are cowards who are robbed.

Besides, there were so many people coming for the property that Scone Town couldn't accommodate them.

It is enough to build a shed in the field to live in.

He took out seven white number plates and handed them to Yu Ke and others. The dates were marked on them, which meant that they had to leave the city in five days.

As a merchant, if you are carrying items that are in short supply, five days is enough to sell them.

There are other things that Shaq doesn't care about either.

But the guard Shaq only handed Lu Meng a red number plate. This was a temporary pass and did not allow him to stay in the city for too long.

——Once the city guards detect the red number plate, they will drive people out.

It means to find the officer in charge of the New Deal as soon as possible, and after receiving the land, it is time to come out.

As for Huo Buyang and Li Liu, they don't even have license plates. Their conditions have not yet met the standards for receiving land, so they don't need to go to the city.

But it didn't happen.

"We are not here to farm," Lu Meng pushed the number plate back, "There are probably other jobs in Scone Town."

Among the three of them, except for Li Liu who had some experience as a peasant woman in the Holy Kingdom's village, Lu Meng and Huo Buyang had never farmed. Although you can learn from the panel, the harvest in the first year will definitely be disastrous.

The key is.

If you can't settle in Scone City, then everything is meaningless.

The order and stability of the Shark Kingdom are for the whole. There are also bandits in its territory, not to mention rebels like Krall's Choice.

These people ransacked the farms outside without leaving any room.

Lu Meng did not intend to take such unnecessary risks.

"If that's the case, then you can go back to where you came from." Guard Shaq refused, "We don't have that many spare jobs in Scone Town."

Lu Meng's eyes turned cold.

The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.

This Shaq guard refused so casually, obviously he was perfunctory depending on his mood.

The food problem is currently the most urgent matter in the Shark Kingdom. It needs to absorb the exiled population to reclaim wasteland, and grassroots officials do not dare to disobey this order.

In comparison, other elements of the Queen's New Deal do not seem so attractive.

Things like correcting bad customs, developing scientific research, encouraging business travel and other industries... In the eyes of ordinary Shaq people, they can neither eat nor fight, and there is great resistance to implementation.

"If nothing goes wrong, the next one will come." The guard made a move to drive him away.

Yuke and the others held the number plates, neither advancing nor retreating. They looked at Lu Meng with worries and questions in their eyes.

Lu Meng waved for them to go in first.

He had made up his mind.

Since there was no way to settle in Scone Town through formal channels, the only option was to sneak in at night.

Knock out several residents in the city and assume their identities.

Or contact a local fraternity member and see if you can forge documents...

The security system in the city and the guards at the city gates are not connected to each other. This is to prevent the army from mutinying and taking control of the town at the same time.

As long as you reduce the number of times you enter and exit the city gate, you will almost never be discovered.

——At worst, get rid of all the guards who have seen him.

As long as you can enter the city, you can use more methods.

Just as Lu Meng was making secret calculations, an officer-looking Shaq officer walked out of the city.

He was taller than an ordinary soldier. He wore a Shaq Army uniform on his upper body, with pieces of armor iron plates inlaid on the fabric, and a set of skirt-like leg armor on his lower body. He looked majestic, and several city gate guards were Salute him.

Officer Shaq noticed what was going on here.

To be precise, I noticed the backpack on Xiao Gu.

His strides were huge, and with one step, his hand reached directly towards Xiaogu's backpack.

"Wow!" Xiao Gu was startled and bared his teeth at the Shaq.

The officer flinched.

"What do you want to do!"

"Take care of your beast!"

Several guards came forward quickly, pulled out the segmented axes on their backs, and surrounded everyone.

Lu Meng just looked at the officer.

"You are its owner, right?" Officer Shaq said without anger, "What are you doing here?"

The previous guard quickly came forward and informed the officer of the situation.

"He is just a refugee who wants to come to our town of Scone to find a job, but there is no suitable job..."

The guard felt guilty.

This general has always been upright and a supporter of the queen.

If he was caught red-handed and neglected his duties, although it wouldn't be a big problem, it would inevitably be embarrassing.

"He is a soldier, how could there be no job suitable for him?" The officer glanced at the guard.

"The Kingdom of Shaq welcomes warriors."

"Soldier?" The guard was stunned.

The officer pointed at the rucksack on the bone dog.

"That's a knife."

The package on Xiaogu's back is bulging, and the size has exceeded the dog's body.

Lu Meng's combat cleaver was hidden inside, but this officer Shaq actually saw it.

——In addition, there is a cross epee sword that is even more difficult to describe.

"If you are a soldier, Scone needs you now." The officer said seriously.

"General, you misunderstood." Lu Meng bowed slightly, "There are indeed weapons in the bag, but they are my works..."

"I am a blacksmith. I came all the way to Scone Town just hoping to have a safe place to make blacksmiths."

If you are a blacksmith, it is normal to have any kind of weapons in your bag.

"Blacksmith?" The officer didn't care, "I believe in my vision."

"A soldier's magnanimity cannot be faked or concealed... Let's do this." The officer told the guard:

"Give them three white number plates."

He then said to Lu Meng:

"If you can find a job within five days, you can switch to a green number plate and stay in Scone.

“However, the blacksmiths in the city have their own guild and will not accept outsiders at will.

"Not to mention that there are works by the forging masters of Kaiton City on consignment in the store. If your craftsmanship is not up to par, you won't be able to survive in Scone Town."

Lu Meng took the number plate: "Thank you, general. I hope you can use the sword I made one day."

"I use a segmented axe." The officer paused, "Go in... I have to remind you at the end that if you are not a warrior, you are not allowed to wear weapons in Scone Town, even if you make your own weapons. No way either.”

In the Shark tribe, warriors are not a division of strength, but an identity.

Just like the Sharks with broken horns, no matter how powerful they are, they are not recognized by law and tradition.

"It's not easy to settle down in Scone Town. If you can't survive, bring your knife and come to the military camp to find me... My name is 'Kang'."

The officer took one last look at Lu Meng.

"Or just go to the Thunder Arena opened outside the city, but it will be difficult to establish yourself as a warrior there."

Kang……

It's someone familiar.

But I don’t know how I have the bearing of a warrior.

La Zhuangding, right?

Lu Meng smiled and followed the others into the city without saying any more nonsense.

…

The city gate.

"General Kang, I think what that man said is quite right. Having a sword does not mean that you are a warrior..." the guard muttered, "and he is just a common man. Even if he is a warrior, how can he compare with us? Shaq’s bravery.”

"If you ask me, this law should have been changed a long time ago. No flat-skinned person is allowed to have the status of a warrior."

"Hey." Kang interrupted him, "With such a weak human body, it is rare to be able to produce a warrior... And you don't know that the harassment of sand bandits is becoming more and more frequent."

Although the warriors of the Shaq tribe are brave, they are too few in number.

The Shaq Army needs people to fill the gaps in the front.

As for the dangers you may encounter on the front line...

They never considered it.

In the opinion of the Sharks, dying in battle is the highest honor.
