Chapter 12 Distributing Food

"age."

"Twelve years old."

"name."

"Ian Krause"

"area."

"Xiqiannong area."

"Here's the food for today."

The soldier in charge of registration brought a piece of hard black bread to Ian.

"Thank you." Ian nodded, took the bread, turned and left.

"Next!" the soldier shouted.

There were many people lined up behind Ian, including men and women, old people and children.

They are all refugees who escaped from Wall Maria into Wall Rose and come from various regions.

There are about five hundred people in this group.

Ian has learned writing. He carefully looked at the registration form in the hands of the soldiers. They were recorded according to age.

The first thing the soldier asked was his age. Twelve-year-old Ian's name was filled in in the leftmost row. Then, using twenty and thirty years old as the threshold, he was divided into three grades. The woman's name was filled in. in another form.

The central government is already classifying. In the eyes of the central government, population is just a resource. In this era when the average age does not exceed fifty, people in their thirties have already entered the second half of their lives. What they eat There are many, and the body is not as strong as young people, so they cannot create value.

Days after Wall Maria was breached, the government began preparing for the future.

If the food crisis cannot be solved by reclaiming wasteland, I am afraid that those over thirty years old on the list will be sent to "fight".

Ian has already learned that tomorrow is the day of exile.

All the bread in the food warehouse has been distributed. The refugees can no longer receive free food. Everyone will be sent to the wilderness. The government will provide some seeds and agricultural tools and require them to cultivate their own farmland.

Ian has sixty gold coins in his hand, which is his starting capital.

If he wants to establish his own power in the pioneer land and gain fame and support, he must first solve the food problem.

If he can increase food production, tens of thousands of people will not be sent outside the wall by the government. He can save the lives of these people. Most importantly, he can gain the support of refugees and pave the way for the future.

Having worked on a farm for several years, Ian has a clear understanding of the world's agricultural systems.

The level of agriculture here was very low. They used windmills and mills to grind wheat into flour, but they did not invent waterwheels to irrigate farmland.

That's why Ian asked Asuka how to make a waterwheel. If a waterwheel could be built, food production would be improved by a whole level. In addition, there would also be agricultural tools for reclamation.

Farmers here still use hoes and shovels. Their plows are very crude and they still use wooden plows. The soil here is thick and moist, and wooden plows are very easy to wear and tear, and it is not easy for the soil to become soft.

The reason for this problem is that their steel smelting technology is not yet mature, and they cannot produce high-quality iron at low cost for farming.

If we can learn the iron smelting technology from Asuka and make the iron rake a universal agricultural tool, it will become much easier to cultivate farmland.

The key to everything lies in him, in the application of knowledge!

The first step is the most difficult. Even if a twelve-year-old child has knowledge, it is difficult to convince others.

He had to find a stand-in to speak for himself, and then find a few dexterous carpenters to popularize waterwheels.

It is not very difficult to build a waterwheel. What is difficult is how to control people's hearts.

The substitute is a particularly important part. This person should have a certain reputation and be familiar with the refugees. In addition, he should be trustworthy and easy to control. After all, Ian will share many secrets with him in the future.

When it came to choosing a stand-in, he had one character in mind: Hannes.

That man was a soldier in the garrison and was an old acquaintance with Allen's family. He was a timid man. Because of his fear, he failed to save Allen's mother from the giant's mouth, but he regained his courage many years later. , although he died in the mouth of the giant in the end.

Ian thinks that Hannis is very suitable to be his substitute. This man has no scheming and is a simple-minded drunkard. He is actually very kind. He will not lose his temper even with children, and he is a soldier in the Shiganshina region. , has a partial reputation among the refugees in that area.

But with such direct contact with Hannes, it was difficult for him to listen to what he said.

Hannis's brain is a little bit confused. He must be allowed to see the magical effect of the waterwheel with his own eyes before he can help him.

Just when Ian was thinking this, there was a sudden noise behind him.

"You've obviously never seen it before!"

"Obviously you have never seen it! How giants eat people."

A little kid with black hair was yelling at the soldiers.

Beside him, there was a blond boy whose gender could not be distinguished, and a little girl with black hair.

The roaring child was knocked to the ground by the soldiers, his eyes full of anger.

"Eren Armin and Mikasa?" Ian stood aside, hiding in the shadows and observing the scene.

He recognized the combination of these three people immediately.

Armin stepped forward to lighten the atmosphere: "I'm sorry. He was hungry and restless, which is why he offended you all. I'm very sorry."

Armin bowed in a condescending manner.

The two soldiers looked around, and the refugees looked at them strangely.

The soldier seemed to feel guilty: "Thanks to us, you didn't starve to death. You have to be grateful, you know!"

They deliberately made their voices louder to intimidate other refugees and ran away.

Mikasa helped Eren up and came to the corridor next to Ian.

"Who wants to accept charity from that kind of person?" Allen sat on the stone with a look of indignation on his face: "I want to go back to Wall Maria and kill all the giants."

"Eren, you're not serious," Armin laughed dryly.

"Seriously!" Allen jumped off the stone: "I'm different from those guys who only show off in the wall!"

"This kind of thing! I don't need it!" Allen slammed the black bread in his hand to the ground, and the huge force broke the hard bread into two halves.

"Eren. Will starve to death?" Armin looked worried.

"Don't you feel unwilling to do so!" Allen's anger seemed to never stop: "It's because of being given charity all day long that you can't defeat the giant!"

"No! We can't win! We can only live within the wall!" Armin argued: "If you mess around, you will only get killed! Just like my parents!"

"So you just talk down to those people? Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Now. There's nothing we can do now!"

"No way, it's just an excuse! Then you will always live like a domestic animal! Coward!"

The moment Eren said these words, he was beaten to the ground by Mikasa.

Ian watched this scene silently, then suddenly walked over and picked up the cracked bread on the ground.

"If you don't want this, can you give it to me?" Ian swallowed, showing a longing expression, and held the bread in his arms.
