Chapter 129 Inspection

Jia Zhengjin came out of the residential building and went to the city to have a look.

Under the command of Zhuoma, the kobold artisans are building houses for living according to his ideas. Wolf and Karl were helping out, and the group was very busy.

Jia Zhengjin didn't intend to disturb them, so he went to other places to inspect.

The mines in the city are almost ready for mining. At this moment, the villagers and miners are wielding iron picks for final processing. At the same time, some people use crude carts and loads to transport ore to the warehouse area.

"Master Keen!" Seeing Jia Zhengjin coming to inspect, the villagers and miners stopped their movements, "When the mining here is finished, do we have to go to the new mine to work?"

Jia Zhengjin has to pay the villagers for mining. This is quite rare elsewhere.

Basically, the miners in other cities or countries are semi-forced or completely forced to work. Either the soldiers who were defeated and captured were driven to mine, or the people who were forcibly conscripted worked in the form of corvee. For those miners, it is very happy to have a full meal.

Here, Jia Zhengjin not only eats well every day, but also offers a lot of fish and meat, and also gets a salary of one gold coin every two months, which is simply a great benefit! So what the miners are most afraid of is not having a job, because they also know that the kobold miners hired by Master Keen can dig mining hard every day as long as they have meat to eat, and they don't need to pay a dime at all. Hiring villagers to mine is just to take care of these people who can only mine.

So after the established mine is hollowed out, the villagers will worry that such a good day will be gone!

Jia Zhengjin knew their worries, so he said with a smile: "Don't worry everyone, the most indispensable thing in the World of Warcraft Forest is minerals! I will soon expand the city wall to include more mining areas. You don't need anything Think, mining is indispensable to you!"

After hearing Jia Zhengjin's words, the miners immediately burst into cheers of joy. Everyone shouted "Long live Lord Keane!" They worked harder.

Leave the mine and walk near the farmland.

The villagers headed by Bolint sowed sows and reaped harvests. Crops with a short growth cycle allow them to grow whatever they want without thinking too much.

Even now, many farmers have enough vegetables and fruits to eat at home, so they start to grow plants similar to cotton. They brought home the harvested "cotton" fruit and gave it to their wives and daughters. Then the women used one of the simplest hand looms to weave and make it into common cloth.

It's just that this weaving method is very old.

It is also very inefficient. It usually takes at least half a month or a month to make a piece of cloth.

It's a pity that Jia Zhengjin hasn't unlocked the Science and Technology Research Institute yet, otherwise he would be able to build the textile machine first. If there is a textile machine, basically a piece of cloth can be made in a day, and the efficiency is improved very fast!

Just as he was thinking, an older villager came over: "Lord Keen!"

"Hello!" Jia Zhengjin was quite polite to the elderly.

"Hey~~ I'm getting old, and my waist is a little too much." The old villager sighed, beating his back, "Master Keen has given us such a good farmland, but I can't even water it. Really right Can't stop!"

"Don't you have any other family members?" Jia Zhengjin asked, he didn't fully know these thousands of villagers yet.

"Hey! There is only a 5-year-old granddaughter, and she can't help!" The old villager sighed.

"What about the child's parents?"

"Dead! A long time ago, when I was collecting wild fruits outside the forest of monsters, I was eaten by wild beasts!" Tears flickered in the eyes of the old villager.

"Sorry!" What could Jia Zhengjin say? I have no choice but to comfort you.

The villagers working in the farmland also saw Jia Zhengjin one after another, so they gathered to say hello.

Amber's father, old Harlem, looked at the poor old villager and said, "Albato's old fellow is pitiful enough. Although we can occasionally help him carry water, we can't help him all the time, because everyone Have their own farmland to look after."

"Well~~ I didn't think about this!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a while, "I'll arrange some kobolds to help before the time. What do you think?"

"Master Keen, we are certainly happy to have a kobold to help us. But the kobold only obeys your orders, and I'm afraid that when the time comes to implement them, not only will they not be able to help you, but they will even add to the chaos!" Bollint said.

Regarding his father-in-law's words, Jia Zhengjin felt reasonable: "Then why don't I ask the town guards to come over to help while practicing?"

"That doesn't work either!" Old Harlem said, "The town guards are responsible for the safety of our city, and they should be given enough rest after training. In fact, I think that if the water problem can be solved, it will basically be solved! The most tiring thing for everyone now is to always go to the river to fetch water. It’s okay for those of us who have the strength, but many of them are in poor health like Alberto, so it’s too hard for them! "

"yes!"

"It's just that fetching water is tiring!"

The villagers all agreed.

"Fetching water?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Although the machine tool is not unlocked now, precision parts such as faucets and water pipes cannot be produced. But it's not that hard to find a replacement, right?

He remembered that there seemed to be an exotic plant similar to bamboo near the city, which was called the empty tree by the locals. This kind of thing is very similar to bamboo, the trunk is hollow in the middle, and it is quite strong.

He immediately said: "Those who are strong, go to the public warehouse to get a stone axe, and then follow me out of the city! I will help everyone get a water diversion device!"

"Okay!" Hearing this, all the villagers were eager to try. Those with better physiques all ran to the warehouse to get stone axes, and then assembled in front of Jia Zhengjin.

Jia Zhengjin took the villagers to the outside of the city and found a place with more empty trees. Then he ordered them to start felling. With many people and strong strength, they quickly collected a large number of empty trees and carried them back to the city.

According to Jia Zhengjin's memory, he asked everyone to cut all the empty trees in half vertically to make semicircular long tubes. They were then instructed to move these long tubes to rivers and waterfalls with higher terrain, to adjust and fix them continuously, and to lead them down one by one until they reached the farmland.

The water of the waterfall flows down the long tube, twists and turns in the trunk of the empty tree, and finally enters the farmland.

Jia Zhengjin asked everyone to dig a huge pond at this location with stone shovels to store water. In this way, the villagers don't have to work so hard to go down to the nearest river and then come up with heavy buckets when they need water.
