Forced to farm for the princess

A total of 36 prisoners were brought in, and the agricultural tools were distributed uniformly. Wei Ruojin frowned again, except that the hoes were made of polished stones, and the plows were also made of wood, and the plowshares could not be made of stone.With such a tool, it is impossible to complete the reclamation of fifteen acres of land within three days.

"Is there no iron?" Wei Ruojin didn't want to be punished for three days of weakness like the last time. When he thought about the last time, he felt dissatisfied. How could he save a dying person? He was more inclined to think that it was the system. An excuse to punish him.

"Of course." Lin Heng didn't know that Wei Ruojin wanted to ask about iron when he saw these people doing farm work.

"Since there is iron, why not use it on farm tools? When will such tools be used?" Wei Ruojin looked at the prisoners as a group of three, with two acting as cattle, pulling the plow in front and one behind support.

It seemed that he could not complete the task of the fifteen acres of land.

Lin Heng looked at Wei Ruojin and smiled, "Iron is hard to get out and easy to break, it will be broken after a few times."

"Why?" Wei Ruojin opened her mouth. Is it because the iron ore can't be found?

"Iron is too difficult to refine."

Wei Ruojin looked down at the sword at Lin Heng's waist, and suddenly remembered that his sword was not made of iron, but bronze; he was misled before, thinking that the bronze was green.

I seem to remember where I heard that the reason why bronzes are green is because they are rusted; those that are not rusted will be as brilliant as gold.

"So the ironware is not used much, but I didn't expect Lu Feng to sell the ironware to Ranjue privately!" Seeing that Wei Ruojin was silent, Lin Heng glanced sideways and found that he was staring at a place in a daze.He turned away as if nothing had happened, and continued to look at the prisoners who were working, feeling a little lost in his heart.

Wei Ruojin was looking at the system store. He remembered that there were a lot of things in it when he saw it on the first day. Sure enough, on the third page, he found the technology to cure iron.

It's a pity that it takes a thousand points.

Even if he completes the current task, he still needs [-] points.Wei Ruojin sighed, why can't it be like in the game to krypton gold!

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Heng still couldn't hold back, looking at him with worry.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what I have to do, and I won't be able to do it for a while, so I'm a little frustrated." Wei Ruojin didn't count what he told Lin Heng to the system now, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and said: "I want to dig here Create a bigger pond, but there are not enough people, can I borrow your soldiers?"

Lin Heng took a look and nodded.

Wei Ruojin circled up the land where the pond will be made. He didn't know how dry the place would be, and whether the pond would not be enough to store water.

"My lord, son, we have caught a suspicious person." Fan Wei suddenly appeared and said, and with a wave of his hand, two soldiers brought him up.

It turned out to be the man named Fang Bu from yesterday.

"You really are Ranjue's spy!" Lin Heng's eyes were cold.

Fang Bu was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, he waved his hands again and again, "I... the little one... I'm not a spy. The little one was working nearby and was arrested all of a sudden."

Lin Heng's sword had protruded a finger's width from the scabbard, Wei Ruojin grabbed his hand in a hurry, and looked at Fang Bu: "Scared you, don't blame the general, but what you have done all these years I think you can understand. Coupled with your dress, it is really easy to make people crooked, so get up first."

Lin Heng pressed the sword back, grabbed Wei Ruojin with his backhand, and stood beside him without saying a word.

Subconsciously, Fang Bu raised his head to glance at Wei Ruojin, then quickly lowered his head; he was a pariah, and he couldn't look directly at the nobleman. The nobleman must have spoken to him like this, but it didn't mean he didn't know the rules.

"Little General Xie, thank you nobleman." Fang Bu stood up, still bowing his body and bowing his head.

"This town has been destroyed, why are you still living here? How many people like you are there?" Wei Ruojin said softly.

Lin Heng's original gaze on Fang Bu also fell on Wei Ruojin, and his first reaction turned out to be the people here.

Fang Bu was very worried. He accidentally saw this group of people coming here. Although they live here, they live a very hard life. Although they can’t eat enough, they can’t starve to death; What, but seeing this group of people opening up wasteland here, he panicked a little.

The coming of these people will only destroy their peaceful life. When the corvee and taxes come down, they will definitely not be able to survive. Before he can think of a way, he is brought before the nobleman again.

"There are some, our life is not good, but the people's life is also difficult." Fang Bu said, and then knelt down, "General, my lord, please don't drive us away. We just want to live! Please."

Watching Fang Bu keep kowtow, Wei Ruojin suddenly felt a little sad, the words 'I just want to live' are too heavy.

"You get up first..."

"Get up! Take us to where you live." Lin Heng took a deep breath, his tone was cold, and he didn't know why he was angry.

Wei Ruojin felt that he wanted to be angry with herself and did not let go of the hand he was holding.

The two followed Fang Bu to the place where they lived with a small group of soldiers. Fang Bu walked in front, and the people who originally wanted to say hello almost looked terrified when they saw the people behind him.

Wei Ruojin looked at this place, there was a ruin in the town, this one hidden in the corner seemed a bit warm, but everyone's complexion was sallow, some were wearing Dachang's clothes, and some were as unruly as square cloth people dress up.When I first stepped here, I could still hear the laughter of children, but now they are all stuffed into the house.

"We don't have many people here, including the elderly and children, there are only more than 100 people..." Fang Bu swallowed, "Many of them started families with Ranjue people."

Wei Ruojin saw that Youranjue woman and Dachang woman were close together, and the tools in their hands should have been working together just now.

He also noticed that the Ranjue woman was supposed to be pregnant and was blocked by the Dachang woman.

Looking up at Lin Heng, his handsome face tightened even more, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart; but it must have brought him a lot of shock.

He probably never thought that one day the people of Dachang would have Ran Jue not only get along harmoniously, but also intermarry between the two races.

"General, nobleman, it's all here." After Fang Bu finished speaking, he opened his mouth again, and swallowed the rest of the words; the nobles never regarded them as human beings, they have already arrived here, and it is up to them to decide in the end. He regretted bringing them here very much. If something really happened, he would die.

"My lord, I remember you said before that I can also make decisions in this northwest area, right?" Wei Ruojin raised her head slightly to look at Lin Heng.

It was only then that Lin Heng realized that since entering here, he had been clenching his back teeth tightly. When asked by Wei Ruojin suddenly, he was a moment late in responding, before saying: "Yes, what's mine is yours, you can make the decision."

"In that case, Fang Bu, can you lend me a table?" Wei Ruojin was glad that she had brought a pen and ink, and immediately asked Fan Wei to take someone back to get it.

Everything was ready, Wei Ruojin said: "This is Lin Heng, king of the Northwest, the days will only get better and better, now I need to write down your situation, you can call out everyone here, don't worry, we will not treat you do what."

Fang Bu boldly looked at Lin Heng, saw him nodding, and then went to call everyone out.

When Wei Ruojin finished all this, the sun had moved westward. He put down his pen and continued: "The land you planted still belongs to you. I won't interfere with this. But I have to go to the yamen to get the title deed, and I will stay here for a while. If you need anything, you can always find me."

Except for Fang Bu, no one responded to him, and Wei Ruojin didn't care, but Lin Heng probably didn't figure it out yet.

That's right, they were bleeding and sweating on the front line, but they didn't expect the people they were protecting to live with Ranjue and even get married!

"Have you ever thought that if they all became citizens of Dachang, they wouldn't be able to understand Juan Nanxia's encroachment?"

"How is this possible, they are a group of insatiable wolves!"

"How do you know it's impossible if you don't do it? If you really surrender to Dachang, then Dachang's territory will expand a lot, and I heard that there are cattle, horses and sheep raised there. The cattle are sold to the common people, so that they will save a lot of effort in farming.”

Think of raising cattle, and raising sheep.Wool, that's a good thing for keeping warm.

"There are still horses. If Jue returns to Dachang, there will be more war horses." Wei Ruojin saw that Lin Heng's face became much better, she must have been moved, and smiled inwardly.

"Non-my family, its heart must be different."

Still tough!

"As long as the people in Ranjue know that they can live better in Dachang, they will come naturally. Didn't you listen to Fang Bu? They just want to live. What if they can live better here?"

Lin Heng felt that Wei Ruojin's thinking was too simple. Although the idea was good, it was extremely difficult to implement; but he couldn't help but think about what he said, and he seemed very contradictory.

"What's going on?" When the two returned to the land where the wasteland was opened, Wei Ruojin frowned. In a day, the prisoners plowed so much land, the least one didn't even turn over a small piece of land.

"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent and failed to manage these prisoners well." Hu Qi immediately stepped forward to confess the crime.

"Dishonest? Why were you arrested?"

"Some are bullies on the street, some are savages captured from the mountains, and some are from the cottage."

"My lord, can the sentence be commuted if none of them have killed anyone?" Wei Ruojin asked Heng for his opinion again.

"Yes, you can make up your mind." Lin Heng's eyes were still a little empty, Wei Ruojin nodded, and pulled him back to the camp. He felt that it was necessary to have a good chat with him because of this matter.
