The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

The sun is shining in the afternoon, and there are no clouds in the sky.

There is not a trace of wind, the flowers and plants in the whole garden are quiet, and only bees or butterflies will move them when they stop on it.

At this time, the pace of summer is approaching, but the north has not yet felt the heat, so it is suitable for outdoor activities.

In the back garden of the royal capital of Cypress, the royal capital of the kingdom of Rerik in the northeast of the continent, King Auston I just concluded negotiations with a beautiful young woman.

"Happy cooperation." Alston I moved towards the other side and extended his right hand.

"Happy cooperation." Ariel also extended the hand and shook hands with him.

Then Ariel smiled and said to Auston I: "I will go back first. I promise that the first batch of fish will be delivered in ten days."

After processing a major event Auston I stretched, and then continued to do other work in the garden pavilion.

Compared to the office, he prefers to handle some government affairs in the afternoon garden where the weather is comfortable.

This year's drought is inevitable, and I am afraid it will be a severe drought in several decades or even once in a hundred years. Only by carrying out drought relief work as soon as possible can we overcome this difficulty.

When crop production is reduced due to disasters, food is the key factor for social stability.

Relying on the sea to eat the sea, the Kingdom of Rerik, with its long coastline, will naturally not give up the Treasure Gathering Pot of the ocean.

Just now, Alston I and the murlocs in the sea signed an agreement for unlimited purchases of marine fish and other seafood within this year.

There are fish, but the fresh sea fish cannot be stored for a long time. At this time, salted fish are needed.

It takes a lot of salt to make enough salted fish to survive the difficulties in the country, and salt has always been a scarce material before.

But now, on the coast east of the Kingdom of Rerik, salt can grow from the fields, and these salt fields are directly under the royal family.

In the past, the salt of the Rerik Kingdom mainly came from several rock salt mines in the Great Cyan Mountain mountain range in the north. Although they could only produce coarse salt, they were enough.

But those salt mines were named by the first king to several great nobles in exchange for help when the kingdom of Relic was founded. Those very rich marquis counts used to rely on them only. Selling salt and often united outward devotion but inner opposition to the young Alston I, making Alston I very upset.

The thought of driving those Old Guys out of the salt market all at once made Auston I feel very comfortable.

At this time, an attendant came to report to him: "Your Majesty, Kiel bishop..."

Before the attendant finished speaking, Auston I immediately stood up , Said happily: "Hurry up and invite him!"

Soon, an old man who has endured the hardships of a long journey hurriedly walked over with a large roll of cloth in his hand, There was a trace of fatigue on his face. Although the dust on his clothes was slapping clean, his shoes were still full of dirt.

"Kiel bishop, please sit down!" As a king, Auston I showed great respect for the cardinal bishop of the Temple of Harvest.

Kier was not polite with Auston I. It was not a day or two for them to know each other.

Alston I personally poured a large glass of cold water for Kiel. After Kiel drank it, he asked: "What was the result of this field survey?"

"Follow the mission!" Keel said excitedly, "Through this field survey, we finally completed the blueprint design, and then we can start construction!"

"Okay!" Auston I stood up excitedly, "Let me take a look at the design drawings!"

The attendant spread out the roll of cloth that Keir had brought on the lawn of the garden, which was more than two inches long and wide. A map is drawn on the cloth of rice, and it is full of lines and markers in various colors.

In the eastern part of Rerik Kingdom, there are large and small saline-alkali land covering a total of several thousand square kilometers. The severity of these saline-alkali soils is different, the light ones can only grow some weeds that are less than knee-high, and the severely completely barren. In the past, the little noble and the freedmen who lived there could only raise some weed-eating sheep to make a living.

After Auston I became the throne, he exchanged part of the royal land for almost five times the area of ​​saline-alkali land through land replacement.

Those little nobles who have been troubled by saline ground know that they can escape the ghost place and immediately offer their loyalty and saline ground to the king Your Majesty. Then they drag their mouths and happily even though New territories, much smaller but richer, are gone.

Those veteran nobles were stunned at the hand of Auston I, and repeatedly marveled at King Your Majesty's courage to buy people.

Now, Alston I has mastered most of the saline-alkali land in the country.

Next, it is time to turn these saline-alkali land into a land of fragrance of fruits and melons.

Alston I found the Temple of Harvest, and then discussed with them the matter of transforming the saline-alkali land.

After several years of adequate preparation, a saline-alkali land of more than 100 square kilometers has become their first target for reconstruction.

A few kilometers to the west of this saline-alkali land, there is a big river flowing from north to south, but a small mountain range separates this river from the saline-alkali land.

Kiel pointed to the north of the saline-alkali land introduced: "We have found a place to dig the canal, and there are many places along the way that can use the original valley."

" The river will flow along the canal to the north of the saline-alkali land. A large area of ​​low-lying area here can be transformed into a huge water storage lake."

"At that time, we can start from the lake and build a large number of ditches. The water is led to the land to the south to wash the land, and then a trench is built on the southernmost side to drain the salty water into a small river."

"It is expected that crops can be grown in this area in three years."

Auston I asked: "Are there any difficulties?"

"I'm afraid there is not enough labor." Kiel spread his hands, "especially the water canal and the water storage lake in the north. , There needs a lot of labor."

Auston I thought for a while and said: "It's okay, I let the army help. Those mages can blow up the canal with magic bombs."

"Drought is unavoidable this year. As long as we have enough salted fish, there will be no shortage of labor."

Kil nodded, so that the army can complete the most difficult tasks in summer. In the construction of the water diversion canal, farmers who are short of food after the fall and winter seasons reduce grain production can come to the construction site for work-for-work, and the preliminary work on other saline-alkali soils can also be carried out at the same time.

This time the Saline Land Reconstruction Project of the Kingdom of Rerik is the largest project in the Temple of Harvest in more than 300 years. Their Pope has mobilized almost the limit of manpower to support it.

It is conceivable that after the completion of this project, the Harvest Temple will harvest a large number of believers.

Alston I was also happy that the Harvest Temple developed a group of reliable believers in the country.

Kill suddenly remembered something. He said to Auston I: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Forging Temple has released a major innovation in this year’s Great Prayer Ceremony. If you are interested You can check it out."

Oston I was nodded, and after discussing some details with Gere, he began to sign and issue the one after another order.

The Guard army was dispatched. The soldiers who were born as freedmen without their own land were drawn out to form a temporary team, and then the young and still full of vitality mage were added to the team.

Amidst the bewilderment of the nobles in the city of Cypress, this strange team moved towards the saline ground.
