Throne of Vientiane Civilization

At this moment, the figure that smashed the leopard-shaped beast's head with his foot was none other than Chitose.

I don't know if it's because of his age, the one-third of an acre of grassland village can no longer satisfy it, and Chitose is keen to expand and inspect his territory on the more peripheral grasslands.

This also makes it invisible all day long except for meals.

Looking at the soldiers saluting at him, Chitose looked up in satisfaction, then ignored them, and directly lowered his head to eat his lunch.

There's no way, Grassland Village only provides breakfast and dinner for it, so starting from patrolling the territory, Chitose will give himself extra meals whenever he gets the chance.

Li Ce, who arrived later, saw the situation and didn't bother much. He waved his hand and left with the recruits.

After walking away, many recruits who followed behind were relieved.

"Oh my god, I was so scared to death. The 'click' just now crushed the beast's head!"

"What are you afraid of? Master Chitose will not attack us."

"It's true to say that, but every time I see it, I still can't help being nervous, and you were obviously trembling at the time!"

"..."

It was impossible for Li Ce not to hear the discussions of the soldiers behind him, but he didn't say anything.

Because in fact, even he sometimes gets nervous when he sees Chitose.

With continuous growth, Chitose's power has become more and more amazing, as well as his strength.

However, thanks to this power, they have prevented them from approaching some threats to a large extent. At least since the death of the saber-toothed tiger, they have not encountered any extraordinary creatures in the area.

The leopard-shaped creature just now is at most a relatively ferocious beast, and it definitely has not reached the level of an extraordinary creature, otherwise it would not be chased by this group of recruits, and then pushed into the ground by Chitose's claws, and then crushed its head .

In addition, as long as there is a battle between them on the grassland, Chitose will rush over immediately when he hears the movement.

Invisibly, it has become a talisman for them.

This is another reason why Li Ce was able to let go so freely and directly lead a group of recruits to swagger across the grassland.

Looking up at the sky, listening to the rustling discussions behind, Li Ce said loudly...

"Okay, go back to the village! Because of the previous tactical mistakes, after returning, all the physical fitness training will be added!"

As soon as these words came out, the recruits behind him suddenly howled.

Until Li Ce spoke again.

"Two rounds!"

In an instant, all sounds stopped abruptly.

After a period of time, they understood the officer's temperament very well. If he made any more noises, the number would have to be increased.

And it’s still the kind that you don’t even think about having dinner until you’re done.

At the same time, riding a fast horse, starting from the post station at the foot of the barren mountain village, Zhou Xu rushed back to Heiyue Village at the fastest speed.

After receiving the news, Zhang Xiaoshan, who is now the head of Heiyue Village, hurried out to greet him.

"Zhang Xiaoshan pays respects to the leader!"

"Free gift!"

While Zhou Xu got off his horse, he directly signaled the other party to excuse him.

"These batches of captives should have arrived, right?"

Before setting off from the barren mountain village, he had asked Shi Lei, leaving aside the part of hard labor that stayed there to contribute to the construction of the new village and the relocation of the barren mountain village, the other captives had already been sent out.

Calculating the time, it should have all arrived.

"It's all here."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan quickly answered.

"The captives sent over this time are mainly assigned to the logging team, construction team and farming team on my side."

Because of the damage to the buildings in winter, the workload of the construction team and logging team had already exploded before the beginning of spring.

There are hard labor sent over, these two groups of people are naturally diligent in grabbing.

At this moment, it has been divided up completely.

Listening to Zhang Xiaoshan's simple report, Zhou Xu nodded.

This time the army was mobilized, because the winter had just passed, all the old, weak, sick and disabled in the various tribes died in the cold winter, and those who survived were young and middle-aged with better physical fitness.

Invisibly, Zhou Xu had already screened the population, plus those who were killed in the short-term conflict, a total of 173 people with a clear labor force were recruited in this wave.

Adding all these hard labors, the total population under his command has now reached 379 people.

This is because this winter, all the villages under his command lost part of their manpower, otherwise the population would definitely break through the 400 mark with ease.

In this primitive era, this is already an incredible scale.

But for Zhou Xu, it was far from enough.

Right now he needs to cultivate a lot of fields, collect resources, build villages, and train soldiers.

Judging from the current situation alone, as long as the food resources can keep up, he can digest as many people as possible, and there will be no shortage of work.

Of course, with a steady and steady mentality, Zhou Xu obviously planned to keep a low profile for a while at the moment when nearly 200 hard laborers had already been recruited at the beginning of spring. During the spring plowing period, farming should still be the main development.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Xiaoshan, he turned around and found Zhuang Mengdie.

"Mengdie, we are going to build the waterwheel that I told you about before, and have the tools on the blueprint sent by the courier I made it a while ago?"

This wave of actions basically doubled the population under his command, and the food pressure naturally increased accordingly.

Especially the crops, it is obvious that they can't keep up at the moment.

Fortunately, there is a large lake in Heiyue Village for him to fish. At the same time, the number of chickens and rabbits is increasing day by day. To a certain extent, the food pressure is relieved, so that he will not be completely collapsed because of this food problem.

But Zhou Xu certainly couldn't go on like this forever. Cultivating more fields and increasing the yield of crops had become a top priority.

Under this premise, diverting water into the canal with water trucks can greatly improve the efficiency of farmers irrigating their fields. In addition, another tool is used to allow them to improve the efficiency of farming.

"Zhao Geng, come here!"

Now the spring plowing work is busy, because the manpower is not enough, he, the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, is now also plowing the fields every day, so he has no leisure at all.

Hearing the call, Zhao Geng, who was sweating profusely, hurried over and at the same time subconsciously glanced at the ox cart beside their leader.

It is said to be an ox cart, but the 'cart' behind it is not the same as usual.

Looking at the novel object, Zhao Geng had a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he had guessed something.

"Boss, this is?"

"This thing is called a plow, and it is used to help you plow the fields!"

"..."
