Otherworldly Lord

Chapter 90

Collective planting in Greeland has already reached a considerable scale. Except for the rebuilt manor house and its surrounding buildings, most of the territory has been reclaimed and planted with corn, potatoes and wheat.Ripe corn and potatoes have filled warehouses, and wheat has grown better than usual.

Harvests have also brought trouble, and the lack of labor in Gryland has become more prominent after some goblin gnomes and their protectors left with Garland's caravans.Even with the addition of the demons, the work in Nai He's territory is always getting more and more done.

As the lord of Greenland, Song Mo was so busy during this period that he hit the back of his head with his feet.But there is nothing that can allow him to be lazy.

Manpower is needed everywhere, and everything needs to be considered.

When I am free, I feel grass growing on my body, and when I am busy, I wish I could pull out all my hair.

The rebuilding work of the Lord's Mansion cannot be stopped, otherwise the gold coins invested will be in vain.Song Mo didn't want to leave a Versailles-style unfinished building in Gerryland's territory.

Potatoes and corn in the fields have to be harvested every half a month. There are many delicious wild vegetables and fresh mushrooms in the Emerald Forest. The people found traces of wild boars near the fence. Suddenly, a group of "big birds" that were as big as ostriches, looked like swans, and sang like ducks lived in.These big birds were just the first group of residents, and then different birds came to this wheat field one after another, and built nests and laid eggs here.As long as you walk around the wheat field, you can pick up a few bird eggs almost every time, and go home to eat meat.

But it’s okay to pick up bird eggs, but don’t even think about walking into the field!The result of someone's risky test was... so tragic that even the barefoot doctor in the black clinic shed two crocodile tears.

So, the birds in the field and the people in Gerryland drew an invisible [-]th line beside the wheat field, which was clearly separated.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to harvest this year's wheat.

But what everyone in the territory couldn't understand was that the Emerald Forest was right in front of them, so what happened to these birds running to settle in the wheat fields of Greenland?Tired of living in the forest and want to try life on the ground?Then there's no need to come here, right?

Perhaps, only the Bone Dragon, who has just eaten three white-feathered birds and is sleeping in the middle of the forest contentedly, can answer this question...

The lord who brought everyone together to collect the corn, squatted by the field, poured a large bowl of water into his stomach, wiped off the sweat on his face, stood up, and watched the swagger fly down from the air, comfortably The corners of the mouths of the birds nestling in his wheat field twitched. Is this considered an alternative breeding industry?At least they have made a big contribution to enriching the table of the Greenlanders.

Song Mo could only comfort himself like this.

Just as the alternative breeding industry in Gerryland was in full swing, Rhodes came with his caravan.

Song Mo laughed when he saw Rhodes getting off the carriage, and said loudly, "My friend, you are here!"

Rhodes was also full of smiles. Taking the potatoes back this time really benefited him a lot.Although it took a lot of effort to deal with the elders, those old guys who were arrogant and out of touch with society, let him clean up after a few rounds.Gold coins, fine wine, Song Mo's special candy, and a few 25X hardcover small X books were stuffed in, and all the elders gave him the green light.

The reason for the delay is that Rhodes personally participated in the family's potato planting.The potato harvesting battle in Greenland made the dwarves sweat a lot. If the clansmen didn't know the severity of it and were injured or even killed by one or two, they would do bad things with good intentions.

But the potatoes grown by the dwarves are completely different from those grown in Greenland!Even if the potatoes for planting came from Greenland, when they were harvested, there was no potato attack at all!The dwarf in charge of planting and taking care of the potato fields looked at Rhodes, making him so embarrassed that he wanted to grab the land with his head.

False alarm?Thanks to their preparedness, they even wore armor and axes.

Rhodes could only smile awkwardly.

Embarrassment is embarrassment, and Rhodes was also pleasantly surprised by this discovery.Immediately sent a message to his caravan, and personally led the caravan to Greeland again.

Seeing Song Mo, the dwarf smiled heartily, "My lord, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time, Rhodes." Song Mo and Rhodes thumped each other's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Is the potato matter settled?"

"Solved." Rhodes nodded, and then told Song Mo the difference between the potatoes grown in the clan and the Greenland potatoes, "Lord, I never lied to you." Rhodes emphasized, "I will The first potatoes have brought some, and you can look at them."

"En." Song Mo accepted the potatoes, but didn't take this matter to heart.Didn't Jerry say that the potatoes in the green forest are more ferocious than the ones you grow yourself?Why did the potatoes produce such a change? It is estimated that Jerry could not give him an accurate answer.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it is ferocious or docile, as long as it can be eaten.And now that there are fur beasts, harvesting potatoes is much less difficult than before, so there is no need to entangle in this issue.He wants to talk to Rhodes about another matter.

"Rod, do you know Garland's business?"

"I know, I'm here this time to talk to you about this."

Although the dwarves are hearty, they are also very shrewd.His address to Song Mo has changed, which shows how much he attaches importance to this matter.

"Oh?" Song Mo looked down at Rhodes, "What do you think?"

"Of course, there are always too many businesses that can make money."

Rhodes and Song Mo walked into the underground city together. The ground lord's mansion has not been built yet, so they can only go to the underground castle to entertain guests.Before entering the dungeon, Rhodes said to Song Mo: "My lord, I brought you a gift this time. I think it's better for you to take a look first."

"Gift?"

"Yes." Rhode stroked his beard, "To express my sincerity, I brought it here for you."

Rhode's words aroused Song Mo's interest. He really couldn't think of what the dwarves could give him, plant seeds?Or gold coins?

Rhodes led Song Mo to the carriage containing the gifts. This carriage was twice the size of the other carriages in the caravan. It was covered with black cloth and pulled by four extremely strong horses. Yin sank deeply into the mud, the only thing Song Mo could be sure of was that the carriage must have contained quite a lot of things...

Rhodes grabbed a corner of the cloth and pulled it hard. Song Mo's eyes widened suddenly. The carriage was full of people!And they are all strong men!

Immediately, Song Mo frowned. He could see that these men's hands and feet were tied up, and their bodies were more or less wounded. The injuries didn't look serious, at least their consciousness was still there. wide awake.

"Rod?"

"My lord, you said last time that Gerryland needs labor."

"I said so. But I also emphasized that the first choice for those who are sent to Greenland is voluntary?" Song Mo's tone changed a little, "If it is not voluntary, it will make it very difficult for me. "

"This one……"

"Rhode, tell me the truth, where did they come from? I don't believe you can catch so many strong men!"

Rhodes scratched his beard in embarrassment, "Do you still remember what I told you about the Sabison rebellion before I left?"

"remember."

"Not long ago, the rebellion was quelled. These people are all rebels."

"What?!" Song Mo frowned when he heard that, and grabbed Rhodes by the collar, "You brought the guy that Hei Yan wanted to kill into my territory? Do you want to do business with me or give I'm looking for trouble?!"

Rhodes quickly explained: "His Majesty the king of Obi knows about this! The official who sold them to me has an order issued by the king."

Song Mo looked at Rhode suspiciously, "...you didn't lie to me?"

"No, absolutely not!" Rhodes patted Song Mo's wrist, motioning him to let go, "I exchanged them with candy corn and gold coins, don't worry, they are not the kind of stubborn guys, Most of them are civilians who can't survive. Joining the rebels is also to make a living. You just need to give them food and shelter, and they can work for you."

Song Mo still hesitated, "If it's according to what you said, why did you tie them up?"

"This..." Rhode rubbed his hands, "just in case, after all, there are not many guards in the caravan, what if they run away or cause trouble?"

Song Mo stared, there is still a risk, right? ?

Rhodes smiled flatteringly, at least he was strong labor, wasn't he?

At this time, the butler Old John came over, heard Rhode's words, and said to Song Mo: "My lord, you can accept these people."

"housekeeper?"

"Mr. Rhodes said that this is a gift for you, which means that you don't need to pay any price for this gift, you just need to say thank you, doesn't it?"

"I……"

Song Mo wanted to say that these guys must be troublesome, but Old John shook his head, "My lord, please trust your steward, no matter how unruly a guy is, I can train him to be your loyal dog!"

After all, he called Johnson, took the servants of the Lord's Mansion, and started unloading the car.

Song Mo stood where he was, with Old John's words still ringing in his ears, training?Loyal dog?Did he hear wrong?

Rhodes tugged at the corner of Song Mo's clothes, "My lord, your butler has accepted the gift for you. Should we talk about business?"

Song Mo lowered his head and bared his teeth at Rhodes, "Didn't you hear? Just now the housekeeper said that since it's a gift, it shouldn't ask for anything in return. Right?"

"Ah... yes."

"So, business needs to be negotiated, but don't even think about preferential terms!"

"Lord Lord!"

Rhodes wanted to cry, what's the matter, what gift would he give if he wasn't trying to win more discounts!

Song Mo ignored Rhode's wailing, and walked while thinking, Hei Yan knew about this?What was he thinking? A king actually sold the war criminals who should be guillotined. That's not how he earns gold coins. Could it be some kind of conspiracy?

Murphy, the prime minister in Obi Palace, also has the same question as Song Mo at the moment.

"Your Majesty, is this really your order?"

"En." Hei Yan twisted a corn candy into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then picked up another piece, which tasted much better than white sugar.

"However, they are all war criminals and should be sent to the guillotine!"

"Prime Minister," Hei Yan said while eating candy without raising his eyes, "It's not just war criminals who are sold, but also civilians in rebellious areas."

"You mean..."

Hei Yan threw another piece of candy into his mouth, "The place belongs to Obi now, and massacring the city will attract criticism."

Murphy's face changed suddenly when he was shocked by the meaning revealed by Hei Yan's words. Could it be that His Majesty the King wanted to kill all the people in the rebel area? !But civilians are innocent!

"I know, but I look at them as an eyesore." Hei Yan's voice did not fluctuate, but it made Murphy feel terrified, "But killing them is also a bit troublesome, it's better to sell them with war criminals, yes The idea, right? In this way, their life and death have nothing to do with Obi or me. "

This rebellion has almost affected one-fifth of the original Sabisen land, that is to say, one-fifth of the population... He is almost sure that most of the people will disappear without a sound on the way...

Murphy lowered his head, sweat slid down his forehead and dripped to the ground silently.
