Wolf King

"You really told Ah Yun?!"

In the dormitory where the big cats lived, Fishbone & Rosemary looked at Qiu in shock.

"Ayun thinks that the arrangement is the same as that of the Snake Clan, and those of our fellow Clan will probably not agree. We have to come up with a more suitable plan based on the actual situation of the Cat Clan tribe." Qiu nodded first, and then asked strangely: "What are you two doing?" In response, the sweet potatoes planted in the tribe can only be grown at the current scale, and it will not be able to expand much, and Ayun will definitely be willing to develop more cat tribes to grow sweet potatoes for us."

In the policy planning of the support belt for the Snake Department, considering the technical difficulties of crops such as wheat, rice, and spices (that can adapt to the grassland climate), in the first five-year assistance plan, only the Snake Department was allowed to carry out large-scale planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Other planting projects such as vegetables and pastures only need to meet the needs of the snake department, and Hongguo only plans to set up two experimental plots.

After all, sweet potatoes are really easy to grow... It requires low agricultural skills and low requirements for water and soil.Planting these two drought-resistant crops can ensure that the snake department will be profitable as soon as possible before the water conservancy project in the snake department is completed.

The premise of the assistance policy is that the object of assistance can stand on its own, and unconditionally support useless lazy people, or non-cooperative objects with resistance, let alone Xiao Yun will not agree, and the big guys in the tribe will not agree.

The biggest problem with the cat tribe is the latter—the cat tribe in the southwestern corner of the grassland come to the Huoyan Department to exchange spices, and they basically hold together in groups, and they don’t deal with everyone in the Huoyan Department at all. ...

This point, although Qiu, Yubone, Rosemary and others who are cat clans are quite embarrassing, they are quite understandable... If it was their own tribe, before the accident happened, the fire department rushed to get close to them , they probably reacted the same way.

Big cats are very vigilant~

Qiu stared at the delicate fishbone & Rosemary for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Wait a minute, the reaction of the two of you, could it be that you two have thought about this a long time ago, and just waited for others to talk to Ayun?" carry?"

The skin of the fish bone was reddish, and he lowered his head to lick the back of his hand, pretending to be indifferent; Rosemary was shameless, and said with a smile: "I wanted to discuss it with Qing Yan when he came back, but I didn't expect you to talk about it without saying anything." It’s done, as expected of Qiuqiu.”

Qiu: "...─━_─━"

"Ah Yun treats you differently. If it were someone else, Ah Yun would definitely take the opportunity to come over with a lot of things. If it were you, there would be no additional conditions." Rosemary said shamelessly, "Don't look at me like that, Once the breeding team is changed, I calculate the details of the materials used in the rabbit farm every day, and the flow of water in and out every week is almost a circle. If I go, Ayun doesn’t know how much work will be added to me——Qingyan is busy enough now , Ayun wants to add workload to Qingyan, but there is no place to add it."

"Ah Yun is not always so devilish...Forget it, he is indeed quite devilish." Qiu couldn't laugh or cry, "As for the policy of helping the cat clan, Ahyun asked us to discuss it first, what do you think? "

Yubone stopped pretending nothing had happened, raised his head and said, "They may not accept the work team to settle in. It was our tribe in the past, when outsiders entered the tribe and lived with us for a long time, even if the patriarch didn't say anything, the tribe would not I will rest assured."

Rosemary sighed: "If you want to help them build a house, let them owe us a large debt first... In the past, our tribe would not agree to such unkind conditions, let alone let a big Help people come and go frequently.”

"Not to mention that the people who accept us will arrange jobs for them, which will affect their patriarchal status...Let's not talk about others, how big was Xia's dispute with 'those people' before?" Yubone added.

The Snow Wolf Tribe doesn't care who the patriarch will be. If the warriors of the Snow Wolf Tribe feel that the patriarch is not good enough, they can replace the patriarch openly. It's not that simple anymore. Once the patriarch's prestige is insufficient, the tribe will face division.

Obviously, Yubone and Rosemary have been thinking about this issue for a long time. Since Ayun put forward the policy of supporting the Snake Department at the work meeting and developed the Snake Department into the downstream production base of the Huoyan Department, they have been thinking about it for a long time. I didn't think much about it—farming is hard work, but farming can indeed ensure a more stable life for the clansmen. As cat clansmen, they have no reason not to think about their clansmen.

But the actual problem is also quite obvious... The Fire Department has gathered most of the snow wolf tribes on the grassland, and the cat tribe that moved to the Fire Department to integrate is only one family...

"——It's really troublesome." Qiu sighed, and then forced himself to do it again, "No matter how troublesome it is, we have to do it. Let's think of a way, and we must overcome the difficulty no matter what."

The three big cats discussed and discussed all night, and they gathered again during the lunch break the next day to find the patriarch of the cat clan—the snow leopard named Arthur.

The two cat patriarchs of the Huoyan Department, Xia was beaten by Xiao Yun for a few years before he learned how to cultivate his morality and diligently open a shop in the dungeon to make money; The tribe came to join the Huoyan Ministry, and immediately joined the work meeting as the patriarch, transferred several positions to adapt to the work rhythm of the Huoyan Ministry, and then joined the mushroom room, and has been working until now.

"Rosemary is here." Outside the mushroom room, Chief Arthur took off his gloves, stuck out his tongue and licked Rosemary's face, and then looked at the other two, "What do you want from me?"

Yubone looked at Qiu, and Qiu stepped forward and explained the matter.

"It's like this..." Chief Arthur pondered for a while, "Before we came to the Ministry of Fire, our tribe considered safety issues when choosing a place to live, and we wouldn't live in an unobstructed place like the Ministry of Fire. If you want to To help the Snake Department arrange the cat tribe like that, first of all, we must persuade them to move."

Qiu, Yubone, and Rosemary opened their mouths wide... I really have lived in the Fire Department for too long, and I completely forgot about this!

"It's really not easy for us cats to trust others." Patriarch Arthur said with a smile, "In this case, it's better not to force others to trust us. That's what I think, why not choose a place that is not far or close to the Fire Department, such as the east On the other side of the water lake, on the tidal flats downstream of the tributaries of the River of the Earth, isn’t there a large plain similar to the Fire Department? It takes half a day to go back and forth there, which is about the same distance as from the tribe to the new hilly area.”

"Build a residence there, and then tell the cat tribe who came to the tribe to exchange spices, and ask them if they would like to send people to live there, plant sweet potatoes under the guidance of the snow wolf tribe, and we will give them vermicelli for part of the sweet potatoes planted In exchange, part of it will pay for the seed money and housing expenses of the Snow Wolf Clan.”

After a pause, Chief Arthur said shyly: "The sweet potatoes have been planted, and in their spare time, let them grow pasture and other species for their tribe, and tell them that they can take most of the output back... Harvest once or twice Then let us imply that they can bring all the tribesmen there to live together. There is a certain distance from the Ministry of Fire, and they are all cat tribes with the same standpoint as them, so they should feel more at ease."

In short, it is to establish an independent space with a sense of distance and a sense of security for the cat tribe who does not trust the Fire Department~!

The Snowwolves don't care about this, but the Cats do!

Fishbone and Rosemary looked shocked with subtlety... It seems that not only the two of them, but Chief Arthur also thought about this matter...

The corner of Qiu's mouth twitched slightly, and he understood why Ayun said that he "has all his concerns on his face"... all the people in the clan are too "scheming"~!

The three of them immediately brought the embarrassing patriarch Arthur to find Xiao Yun. Rosemary, who was the most flexible, told the thoughts of patriarch Arthur and their own considerations, and Xiao Yun's expression became subtle...

"So, in fact, you are all secretly thinking about this matter, but no one except Qiuqiu is willing to take the initiative?" Xiao Yun stared with dead fish eyes.

Chief Arthur's eyes drifted into the distance, as if he didn't hear Xiao Yun's words, Yubone lowered his head and licked the back of his hand, pretending to be indifferent.

"Hey... I want to discuss with Qing Yan when he comes back." Rosemary smiled shamelessly.

"You can pull it down, you just count on Qingyan to give you thunder, right? Wait, what do you think of me?!" Xiao Yun was so angry that he picked up Rosemary and pinched it in his arm, grinding his head with his fist. Top, "Scheming all day! If you don't want to be good, just be scheming!"

Rosemary is a lot of chicken thieves. She stuck out her tongue and licked Xiao Yun's arm, and Xiao Yun threw him away in disgust...

"This is indeed a feasible solution." After complaining, he sat down and continued to talk about the matter, Xiao Yun didn't blame the big cats for not being honest enough, "In the past few years, the cat tribes have come to our place to exchange spices, and you, the patriarch Arthur, came forward Negotiating with them, Chief Arthur, tell us, how many tribes do you think are willing to accept our arrangement, so we can make corresponding preparations."

Patriarch Arthur is about the same age as Patriarch Huoyan, but in the past, life of the cat clan was much easier than that of the snow wolf clan, so she looks like an ordinary adult big cat, and she doesn't look old. : "The Xiu Tribe, the Kong Tribe, and the Qingtian Tribe are relatively friendly to us. The patriarch of the Qingtian Tribe even inquired about our winter situation. I think these three families are likely to have people. The Yongzhen Tribe and the Amber Tribe The attitude is rather ambiguous, and they don't take the initiative to talk to us, but when the Qingtian patriarch chats with me, they will deliberately approach..."

The more Xiao Yun heard it, the more shocked he became. He only asked Patriarch Arthur to be in charge of negotiating with the cat clan who came to the door for a deal out of an attitude of avoiding trouble. There may not be any outstanding features. Compared with Rosemary, who is full of cleverness, and Fishbone, who has a strong learning ability and knows how to draw inferences from one instance, he is quite a passer-by. I never thought that this big cat is also very different. As expected of someone who was the patriarch of the cat clan...

"...My idea is that the big farms like our tribe and the snake tribe are not suitable for the cat tribe. It is better to organize small farms of different sizes according to the people from each tribe, and each farm has its own Be responsible, so as to avoid conflicts between them during their work... Uh, Ayun, did I make a mistake somewhere?" Chief Arthur knows how to read words and expressions, and immediately stopped when he saw Xiao Yun's expression was not right.

"No, no, you're right, it's very useful." Xiao Yun clapped his hands vigorously, "I'm not talking about just helping others without asking for anything in return. One-third of our total export revenue, we really need downstream producers who provide us with raw materials. The cat clan returns our raw materials, and we provide the cat clan with production conditions, which is a good thing for mutual benefit and win-win.”

"To understand the cat clan, you still need the cat clan. Chief Arthur, if you want, why don't you take the lead in organizing this cat clan farm?" Xiao Yun's eyes sparkled.

Rosemary immediately cast a comprehensible look at her good friend Yubone, as if she was saying "I knew it would be no good to be on the edge of Ayun", Xiao Yun wished he could deal with him meal...

Fortunately, Patriarch Arthur was not as annoying as Rosemary. He tilted his head after thinking for a while and said, "What about the work in the mushroom house?"

"You can pick someone from other staff who can take over your shift." Xiao Yun said, "Let's bring this up at the work meeting, as long as everyone has no objections."

Xiao Yun will definitely not allow the emergence of "hereditary system" in the tribe. The previous leader can only choose the successor from the old employees. Xiao Yun absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing as an outsider commanding an insider. Regardless of his previous life or this life, he will never bother the "airborne faction"... (Black-faced Chief Officer & Ge Wendolyn)

Chief Arthur was originally the person in charge proposed by Sal when he transferred to the monosodium glutamate factory. After going through this process, he nodded and agreed: "Okay."

After Patriarch Arthur went through the process of the "Proposal Plan for the Production Base of Cat Family Farm" at the working meeting, the relevant departments started to move.

Ah Yue's second engineering team has just completed the tribal expansion work for this quarter, and immediately set off to select the site for the farm's reserved site for construction; the two engineering teams that are the main force for infrastructure construction eat "public meals", so they don't have to worry about revenue, as long as they complete the work Goals specified at the meeting will do.

At the same time, Yu called Xiaohua's name in the warrior team, and asked Xiaohua to take a small team of warriors to accompany Chief Arthur to the Sunshine Tribe, the largest cooperation possible, for negotiation-in a month or two, the cat clan tribes would start one after another A door-to-door deal has been made. In order to increase the success rate of the negotiation, it is naturally necessary to open a breakthrough from the inside of the "enemy" and pull a comrade-in-arms to your side in advance.

Chief Arthur once led the cat tribe. Although her tribe is quite small, with only more than 200 big and small cats, at least she knows what the chief of the cat tribe is worried about and what is easy to be moved; After two days of driving, she came to the Qingtian Tribe with whom she had established a certain friendship in private. After meeting the patriarch of the Qingtian Tribe, she went straight to the topic: "Patriarch Qingtian, would you like to let some of the tribe suffer? Others earn rich food?"

The Qingtian Tribe is located on the mountainside of a ring mountain range. The site selection is a bit similar to the former Li Tribe. The advantage over the Li Tribe is that their cattle and sheep can be driven to the valley surrounded by mountains for the night, just like the valley of the natural sheep pen. Avoided a lot of trouble being attacked by wild animals.

"How to say?"

The patriarch of Qingtian is a golden cat, which is relatively rare in the cat clan that usually uses leopards (except cheetahs) as the patriarch, but as long as you know the age of the patriarch of Qingtian, you will not be surprised... This golden cat with rounded ears is at least 80 years old. He is many years old, but he still doesn't look old at all, no different from an ordinary adult big cat.

"The sweet potatoes of the Huoyan Department are not enough." Chief Arthur said straightforwardly, "Last year, the thousand catties of vermicelli you exchanged were made of sweet potatoes. The vermicelli made by the Huoyan Department were sold to the dungeon, the forest of elves, and even sold to the human race on the other side of the inner sea." Kingdom. The Fire Department can’t grow enough sweet potatoes, so I thought, the wool production is fixed, and you can’t get enough spices if you exchange vermicelli, so why don’t you plant some sweet potatoes directly to exchange vermicelli with the Fire Department? Is there no conflict?"

Patriarch Qing Tian was a little moved. During the transaction last year, he found that the Fire Department was not only willing to exchange spices with them for raw wool, so he tried to exchange some vermicelli and dried vegetables back. These vermicelli kept the tribe from going hungry all winter; After thinking about it, he still chose to shake his head, cautiously: "We don't know how to plant."

What he said was that he didn't know how to plant, and it was not an excuse that the clansmen didn't want to plant but only wanted to graze. This already explained the attitude of the Qingtian patriarch.Chief Arthur smiled slightly, and said: "To the east of the Huoyan Department, there is a plain suitable for farming above the tidal flat that takes about half a day's walk. What about land reclamation in the past? Someone from the Ministry of Fire and Fire will build a house for you and teach you to open up wasteland and plant it. [-]% of the sweet potatoes planted will belong to your people, and you can exchange them for vermicelli, which can be exchanged for wool that has been saved for a year. Much more."

"This—" Clan Leader Qing Tian frowned. If Clan Clan Arthur offered to take his people to the Ministry of Fire, he would definitely refuse without hesitation; reluctant to refuse...

His tribe can indeed find manpower. After living peacefully for many years, the population of the tribe has multiplied to about [-] people. There is no room for so many people in grazing and hunting. In the tribe, you can always see big cats basking lazily in the sun—— Putting these tribesmen out to work and bringing them back with food sounds like a pretty good idea.

Chief Arthur knew that he was a little moved, and continued to persuade: "Not only are you planting sweet potatoes, pastures for cattle and sheep, spices and vegetables that can adapt to the climate on the grassland, you can plant whatever you want, and the output will be six It will be yours in the same way, and you will bring it back by yourselves.”

Patriarch Qing Tian was clearly moved. After struggling for a while, he still didn't agree: "That's what you said, but our people don't know how to farm. If there is no farming...how do we count?"

Chief Arthur laughed: "The snow wolf clan can grow food, how can our cat clan not? Not to mention anything else, we are much better than them in terms of herding. What we lack is experience. There will be someone from the Snow Wolf Clan to teach us, so there is nothing to worry about."

Patriarch Qing Tian thought it was true, the cattle and sheep raised by their tribe were much more decent than the chestnut tribe who lived nearby, and he couldn't help laughing: "I have to thank you for thinking so much about our tribe, Arthur, but I can't do it right now." I will give you an answer, I have to discuss it with the soldiers."

"It should be." Chief Arthur nodded.

Patriarch Qing Tian let Patriarch Arthur take care of himself, and went out of the tent to look for the soldiers grazing and patrolling in the valley.Looking at his shining eyes, Chief Arthur felt that the matter was at least half done...

I am used to living in a spacious dormitory and the cramped tent. Chief Arthur is not used to it anymore. He stretched out of the tent and looked around at the situation in the sunny tribe. When the work was good, the Snow Wolf clan warriors who sent her all went to the foot of the mountain for training, but in the Sunshine Tribe, there were litters of lazy and napping big cats here and there.

"Too slack!" Patriarch Arthur couldn't help muttering, if such a situation happened in the Fire Department, one would count as one, and it wouldn't be the end if A Yun didn't toss about it.

That night, the tribal meeting of the Sunshine Tribe lasted until midnight.

The soldiers of the Sunshine Tribe don’t have much opinion on whether to go or not. After all, their tribe is relatively close to the Huoyan Department. Every time they go to the Huoyan Department to do business in the past few years, they are very greedy for the snow wolf clan to support them. Slippery fellow...cough cough.

But in terms of who should go to this, the cats are very entangled... They all want to go, but they don't want to go; why are they so divided? The former is yearning for the treatment of the Fire Department, while the latter is the cat clan's instinct for foreign races. Rejection, mistrust - not being driven to a dead end, it is difficult for the cat clan to accept living with a foreign race.

Although Patriarch Arthur guarantees that only a small number of snow wolves will appear in the "Cat Clan Farm" as "agricultural technology guides", seeing aliens wandering in their "territory" all day long will also make the cats unhappy ...

To put it bluntly, the cat tribe is territorial and arrogant.

Patriarch Arthur sat at the side and listened calmly throughout the whole process. For her, as long as someone goes, it’s fine, and anyway, don’t even think about running away...

Ten days later, accompanied by Chief Arthur, Chief Qingtian brought a hundred big cats to the construction site of the "Cat Clan Farm" in the Huoyan Ministry—yes, the always worried Chief Qingtian handed over the tribe to the housekeeper The soldiers took care of it and came by themselves.

Ah Yue had warned in advance to keep a "safe distance" from the cat clan, and not to be as casual as the snake clan. Seeing the cat clan coming, she didn't come forward to negotiate, but sent the big cat from the second engineering team... Arthur Several members of the patriarch's clan also joined the engineering team, responsible for work such as surveying, drawing and planning. For the sake of the acceptance of the cat clan, Ah Yue deliberately brought these big cats out this time.

The big cat of the engineering team exchanged greetings with the patriarch Qing Tian, ​​and instead of leading them close to the construction site where the Snow Werewolf was working, he pointed to it from a distance and introduced: "A tribe lives in one place, and the area where the wall is now built is The residence of your tribe. The Snowwolf people will move the place to start construction after laying the foundation, kang pan and walls, and we will do the rest of the installation of doors and windows, painting the walls, laying the ground, capping and laying tiles. The wide The one that is wide and long is the living room, the one that is square is the bathing place, the lower shed at the back is for excretion, the cement platform next to it is the sink for washing, and the sewage should be discharged into the drain, that is, There is a place with iron shelves..."

Patriarch Qing Tian and the warriors in his tribe nodded straightly, and narrowed their eyes. The cat tribe likes to be neat and tidy, and the Snowwolf tribe is quite considerate of them in this regard.

"In terms of food, a canteen will be built in the middle of several residential areas. No, that open space is where the canteen will be built. The Fire Department will send people to manage it, so don't worry." The big cat of the engineering team finished his introduction The construction of the farm living area turned around and pointed to the vast wasteland not far away, "This area is the land reclamation reservation of your Sunny Tribe. Now that the weather is warmer, our suggestion is to quickly open up the land and plant a crop of sweet potatoes first, and drain water for irrigation. The canal should be dug from the river as soon as possible... The triangular plow for turning the ground has arrived, and the two of us cats can drag it together. If there is no problem, we will have a meal with our engineering team and open up wasteland first."

The big cats were still looking around curiously, trying to get familiar with the new environment. Hearing this, the patriarch Qingtian was quite surprised: "So urgent?"

The big cat of the engineering team nodded as a matter of course: "It's already past the spring plowing, and now the land reclamation can catch up with the summer sowing. The wasteland opened in the first year will have poor yield, and it needs to be raised to become a mature land. Hurry up and plant it now." Sweet potato vines, give sweet potatoes a little more growing season, and the harvest in autumn will also look better."

Sunny Sky patriarch: "..."

When facing Chief Arthur, he didn't realize how long it took to deal with the big cats of the engineering team, but Chief Qing Tian felt that something was wrong.
