Throne of Vientiane Civilization

At this stage, the exploration of this island is basically halfway done.

But as the season enters winter, Zhou Xu feels that it is almost time for large-scale cultivation of the fields here, considering next year's spring plowing.

The total population of the island villages and towns is actually not large, less than 3,000 people at full count.

However, the demand for labor here is already considerable.

On the basis of fishing and farming, there will undoubtedly be a need to develop mines and mine ore in the future.

At the same time, considering the future mining and transportation of ore and food, needless to say, this road must be built.

In addition, the construction work of this village and town must also be carried out.

If construction is to be carried out, related industries such as logging teams and lumber mills must also be set up.

After all, if all these construction materials are shipped by sea from the mainland, the transportation cost will not be small.

Thinking about it this way, the island's population of less than 3,000 is simply not enough.

Not to mention that many of the population of less than 3,000 are not considered part of the labor force.

Probably because the life on this island has been very comfortable before, so there are many children going from house to house.

Zhou Xu previously learned that many families have three children, and some even have more.

Under this premise, since the islanders here are not well-educated themselves, and there are so many children, it is difficult to name them. Therefore, the children on the island here are casually named, but they are also unexpectedly named. In line with the original Japanese culture, they are basically called Taro, Jiro and Sanlang.

In this way, if all the old, weak, women and children who do not have much labor force are eliminated, how much serious labor force is left on the island?

If no particularly important resources were found on this volcanic island, then Zhou Xu could take his time and focus on the development of the Buddhist system.

After all, at this stage of their development, there are many places that are short of labor.

No matter how the labor force is deployed, it will make people feel embarrassed.

However, both sulfur and fire crystals on this island are important resources, which makes it impossible for Zhou Xu to let this island enter the state of Buddhist development.

The most urgent thing is to mobilize the labor force first.

At this moment, the closest people to the volcanic island are the lizard people. It just so happens that the temperature here on the volcanic island, even in winter, does not feel too cold, which is suitable for the survival of the lizard people.

Zhou Xu thought about it for a while, and then directly ordered the dispatch of two thousand lizard people as labor force.

Relevant orders were quickly issued. At the same time, Zhou Xu also began to make plans for the farm on the island.

Although the entire island has not yet been fully explored, they have found suitable land with fertile soil to cultivate farmland and establish farms.

To this end, Zhou Xu made a special trip back to the villages and towns, and then began to recruit labor, preparing to start with clearing trees.

Not only must all trees and vegetation within the farm area be cleared, but the road leading to the farm must also be cleared.

As soon as the notice was posted and they learned that the work here included meals and wages, the islanders came in droves, allowing Zhou Xu to easily recruit enough people and start work.

According to his current plan, he will clear all the land on the island farm and complete the reclamation work before next spring.

In this way, after the spring of next year, spring plowing can be started directly here.

After quickly arranging the entire work, Zhou Xu was not idle and immediately devoted himself to the remaining exploration work.

He also hopes to explore all of the island this winter, but he doesn't have much time to waste.

The two thousand lizardman labor force arrived a month later.

Judging from the distance, it actually won't take that long, but it's impossible for the southern border side to directly stop all ongoing projects after receiving the transfer order, and then allocate 2,000 laborers to him.

The mobilization of the labor force during this period also takes time. After all, what their Majesty wants is not one hundred or two hundred, but two thousand directly.

Within the frontline troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were already lizardmen, such as pterosaur riders.

Therefore, the residents on the volcanic island have long been accustomed to the existence of lizardmen. This time, two thousand lizardmen landed on the island, which did not scare them.

However, attracting their attention is inevitable.

After all, for an island village with a total population of less than 3,000 people, the sudden arrival of 2,000 lizardmen was a bit large.

Since we have to reclaim the land before spring, the work here is quite stressful.

For the two thousand labor force, the person in charge here is eager to wait.

Now that the manpower arrived, he didn't even want to wait for a second, and immediately took away the two thousand lizardmen.

In the following time, with the blessing of the labor force of these two thousand lizardmen, the entire work efficiency here can be said to be doubled.

At the same time, in the dense forest on the other side of the volcano, there was a roar that made the surrounding branches and leaves rustle. A giant python covered with fiery red scales and exuding high temperatures was looking at it fiercely. The exploration force headed by Zhou Xu.

There is someone coming to this volcanic island, and it knows it. As an extraordinary creature, the red-scaled python can also clearly feel that the other person is not easy to mess with.

Therefore, in the past period of time, it has been hiding in the dark and has been retreating constantly, trying to avoid conflicts with the other party as much as possible, and not wanting to cause trouble for itself.

Unexpectedly, the other side is so aggressive that it is not enough to occupy half of the island, and now it has invaded the other half.

This undoubtedly irritated it, and it directly attacked the exploration team led by Zhou Xu, intending to teach these guys a lesson!

The first move was a killing move!

The red-scaled giant python opened its bloody mouth as it rushed out, and a scorching fireball suddenly spewed out of its mouth and blasted towards their position.

"Disperse!"

While shouting, Silk, who was worried that their Majesty would not have time to dodge, took the initiative to step out and directly blocked Zhou Xu.

In an instant, the silver steel sword was unsheathed!

[Swift Wind Slash! ]

The sky-blue slash tore the air, making a sharp sound, and instantly collided with the spewing fireball.

At that moment, there was a loud 'boom' and a violent explosion!

The explosion spread out, carrying the heat wave, and hit them directly.

Standing behind Silk, Zhou Xu had a calm face.

Without hesitation, almost at the same time as the explosion spread, he locked onto the red-scaled python, and in an instant, the truth was used!
