Wolf King

As the weather warmed, the snow on the Samal Snow Mountain began to melt, along countless large and small rivers from north to south and east to nourish and irrigate the entire grassland.

A long flat canal boat equipped with a swollen bag-shaped pneumatic machine at the rear was upstream against the sudden engine sound. Yale and the people sat on the edge of the "manned" ship's side less than one meter wide under the bow of the bow. In the spring breeze that was warm and cold at first glance, the fields on both sides of the bank of Zhangwang River could not be surprised.

This small canal is the earliest canal opened in Huoyang City. There is no cheap "outsiders" in the suitable cultivation areas on both sides... Especially in the generation of Snake Valley, the fertile west bank land is all allocated to sugar beet planting bases, and the east bank goes all the way along the way. It is a farm directly under Fire City.

The next planting period on the grassland is one month later than that of the southern continent. The soybean planting period is only reached from April to May. The sugar beet is also planted at this time. At this time, the boat passes by the canal. It is not an exaggeration to say that half During the voyage, you can see people who seem to have no marginal farmland and field work, tractors running with black smoke, and also making a sudden noise, and giant wolves dragging giant triangle plows in the fields. big cat……

"They actually have so many fields!" The white-haired and white-bearded Tiger veterans opened their mouths in horror. "There are so many places on the grassland for farming!"

The Tigers have seen tractors in Cronin, and they know that this thing is that they have sold a large number of gray dwarfs to the prairie people. They are not surprised, but they are surprised that the prairie people have so many fields. The boat has been sailing for almost two hours and has not seen the end!

The Yale account did not speak, but judging from his expression, his mood was estimated to be similar to this white tiger veteran...

The small cat Bai Xiang, who was in charge of the reception, chuckled and laughed: "Why can't you plant land, there is soil on the ground, and there is water next to it, you can use it to grow crops. You can also repair the canal where there is no water, and the canal can be dug , The ground can be used to plant."

Passion pointed to the land in the west bank that belongs to the beet planting base, proudly: "The snake vine valley is the best land in the west bank. The beet grown is larger than humans, with more juice and sweeter taste."

A group of tigers' heads didn't squeak, they covered their little hearts one by one...

They haven’t left their hometown for a long time, and their memory of the grassland is still very deep. In their collective impression, the grassland is the grassland, the pasture, and the cattle and sheep. Unexpectedly, the grassland may not be pasture, cattle and sheep. It can also be fertile and full of fields.

"Is this still the prairie..." A veteran with golden hair whispered, pain and confusion in the pale golden pupil, but he was reluctant to move his eyes away from the boundless fields on the river bank.

When Yale came this time, he brought all the old people in the race.

He knew in his heart that the Tigers can have today's chances, can save their vitality after escaping from the underground world with their helmets removed, and they can still have cubs born safely and grow up in a relatively abundant environment. Because of the generosity and generosity of the Snow Wolf who replaced the Tiger.

Accepting the mercy and charity of others is a painful thing, especially for their generation who has experienced the era of the tiger tribe... But the tigers cannot but appreciate this kind of compassion-if there is a snow wolf With the clan's material support, Yale was completely unsure of his ability to lead the clan to survive on the clan's territory. (The looting of life is at the expense of the lives of the tribes, no matter in which plane the gangster rogue is a high-risk occupation that can't be guaranteed)

Accepting so many other people's good intentions, Yale will naturally not have the illusion of returning to the grassland and returning to his hometown-bringing the veterans over, so that they can take a last look at their hometown before they die.

Today, the veterans have seen their homeland and the land where they have lived for most of their lives, but this rural homeland they have remembered is completely unrecognizable, and the changes have made the most stable veterans dare not recognize them.

Baixiang is the team leader of the blanket workshop under the Wool Spinning Factory. He is clever and good at knitting beautiful and complicated patterns with thick wool yarns with only a few colors. The hand-woven blankets produced by his team can always sell for good prices in the human country. It is dubbed the "Boutique Group".

Those who have done fine work and have artistic cells will never be careless. Hearing the whispers of the veterans, and then looking at the expressions of other tiger brains, he just thought for a moment to understand what these once prairie royals were sentimental, Can't help laughing.

"Yale, do you remember Sang Xi? Her mother was the guard of the king's tent. At that time, my family and I were doing things in the king's tent....Sang Xi is the most friendly tiger cub for us cats. "

At the beginning, Yale's account had no expression, and when he heard it, his expression changed slightly.

He remembered why he felt that Passion was familiar with him. He had seen this small cat in Wanghu.

At that time, he was still an elite warrior in the family, and he was not qualified to make decisions about the Tigers. Even if he was very uncomfortable with the behavior of enslaving the cats, he really could not do anything... he had no power until he served as the accountant. Make cats in his jurisdiction a little better.

Yale couldn't help but feel a little guilty, he finally remembered the reason why the little cat kept saying "have been taken care of by himself"... he once secretly stuffed this sick kitten with a slap of big oatmeal. I always remember.

"Sang Xi... is it with Ted?" Yale, embarrassed, had no face to look directly at Passion's line of sight, uncomfortably looking away.

"Well, when Ted was in charge, Sang Xi was there. I didn't know at first. It was only later when Ted was in charge that they came to the city to buy. I found out that Sang was also there." Xi was smart and capable before, and now he is even more powerful. Their vermicelli foundry only has one advanced worker per month. Sang Xi actually grabbed twice, and the bonus is eight silver coins! It is even better than the adult Tigers!"

Listening to Bai Xiang mentioning the Ted tent left behind by the king's court, the veterans don't care about the sentiment, and listen to each other intently.

"Can Sangxi earn eight silver coins every month?" Yale couldn't help but ask with concern.

"More than that, the basic salary of their vermicelli foundry is five silver coins, plus an annual bonus of two silver coins. Then they are over the completion of production tasks every month, according to the excess part, can have higher than the basic salary Three to five times the bonus, after calculation, Sang Xi can earn more than one gold coin every month! It is three times that of me!" Bai Xiang looked envious.

Hmm... In fact, the key point of this passage is the last sentence. This small cat really wants to show off that he can earn more than a dozen silver coins every month...

It's a pity that the tigers' heads can't hear the little guy's crooked display. Their mouths are wide open in shock. They are all surprised that the cubs in the family can be calculated in gold coins.

With the fame of the Tigers playing in the southern continental game of sports, excellent team foreign aid can be allocated annually through Isaac's foreign aid club, and the annual salary starts from 100 gold coins.

But this is only a few... Among the thousands of thousands of people, there are more than ten people who can achieve this value. After all, the foreign aid of the Snow Elves, Bears, and Seas is also very marketable, and the choices of those human team owners are relatively wide. It is not necessary for the Tigers.

Except for the tribes who work in the team, the livelihood of other people is to honestly plant a fighting tree. As long as there is water and a light source for this thing, a little bit of soil can be planted (provided that it is not hammered by the fruits of the living fighting tree). All the young and old will join the battle and produce a large number of natural rubber raw materials every year.

The harvested combat branches, leaves, and fruits are shipped to the grassland in a boat, and the benefits to the Tigers are that they can not only enjoy the important living materials such as clothing, bedding, food and spices produced in the grassland, but the Yale account can also give the people People pay salaries on a monthly basis... Regardless of adulthood, you can get at least ten silver coins.

This is definitely a high income, which is higher than the income of two to three times the employment of human workers in cities. They do not have to bear the cost of living. When the tiger brains occasionally enter the human towns to buy materials, the locals rate them as extremely generous...

After all, there are twenty copper coins per pound of pork, and one silver coin equals fifty copper coins. The money earned by a tiger from a fighting tree can buy more than twenty kilograms of pork per month. You can eat meat almost every day. This world is definitely a luxury life-of course, the tiger brain is actually not very greedy, the grassland is not short of meat, and the vegetables and vegetables are lacking, and the water-spirit little cabbage grown by the human race can buy two pounds for a copper coin... …

Not only did the tribe live a life richer than the supplies of the Wang Ting era, the Yale account also saved money in his hand-this time he came to the prairie, he carried a bag of gold coins, if Ted won the account on the prairie Yale’s big account is ready to leave the money to them. This is to discuss with the tribe before coming.

As a result, listening to what Baixiang said now, Ted won't be short of money? !

Passion took his familiar cub Sang Xi as an example, and talked about the living conditions of the branch of the Ted tent in the grassland for a long time: each tiger's brain has built its own house (this type of property certificate is available) There are a lot of savings. The new snacks launched by the Ministry of Welfare and the new clothing tigers from the garment factory are the first major consumers. The Ted Zhonghe also convened a cat farm that was funded by the tribe and lived in the tigers. There is a theater that imitates human architecture. During leisure, some people in the Fire City will go to the cat farm to watch drama-the amateur troupe that once performed for the bear family is now gone, and all actors except Xia returned to the post. .

"Except for Bark and Auston, they are the ones with the highest salary income." Bai Xiang proudly said, "Ayun said, the grassland must have the rules of the grassland, our rules are not hard work, more work No matter what race you are in, as long as you can work, you must ensure that workers can get income that matches their pay."

The white tiger veteran couldn't help but nodded his head. The tigers in the king's court respected military force, whoever took advantage of others, the warrior ate meat and weak chicken and drank soup. What, but this white tiger veteran should be similar to their customs when they think of it... the tiger warriors, the greater the power, the more they must be at the forefront when charging, but there is no tradition that the soldiers will be sent to the generals.

"Really, as he said, Ted should not be sad about their days on the grassland." The Yale account also came up with a similar idea, and he didn't understand Baixiang's "work" in the end. What is involved, but he feels that the Tigers will never be worse than other families in any way...

So the brains of the tigers left their hometown unfamiliar, and whispered head to head, whispering to Ted Zhong, how many tribes remained, how many of them knew who were alive and sad Come words of reassurance.

Understatement to appease the residents' fragrance, hummed in a trivial manner, wondering how to invite the grassroots chief after the incident...

The main purpose is that the speed of the canal boat used to transport goods is not high, 20 kilometers (about ten knots) in an hour, and when the sky is about to be dark, the Yale account and other talents sitting at the bow of the ship see the outline of the fire city.

This small canal was originally built to prevent waterlogging, and it was a few kilometers away from the then Ministry of Fire, where the tribal buildings could not be seen. But now that the fire department has been upgraded to a fire city and the building scale is gradually spreading, as long as you stand on the canal wharf, you can see the building complex.

At the end of the line of sight, at the end of the horizon, large-scale brick buildings spreading in all directions about four meters high, instantly let the Yale tent and other tiger brains who had seen the prosperous city of the human race collectively lose their voices.

"The house that occupies the vegetable field over there is a new employee's dormitory of the vermicelli factory and cement factory. They are all independent houses. It's not like a crowd of more than twenty people." Baixiang stood up with the cargo box, away Refers to the large construction site that is vaguely visible in the distance, with a proud look, "There is a new employee dormitory area in our woolen mill, and it is the same size as the vermicelli factory and the cement factory. I am also divided into one. Now it is being built, to I can move in in autumn."

According to the normal construction process of the Fire City, it takes at least ten years to accumulate the step where employees can be assigned to single-family houses. But after a large number of bear families joined the people, they didn’t have to wait for so long... The rich and handsome father and son of Green Dragon (the stingy Auston was of course forced by Barker) first paid to build their two vermicelli The factory’s new employee dormitory, which has been very low-key but actually very local, quickly followed up. Last year, a large new house covering the original vegetable plot was built.

Wool mills have many industries under their jurisdiction, but their financial resources are really inferior to these two big dogs. Only this year they broke ground...

Therefore, the tigers couldn't envy anyone in building a new house. The two hundred houses they built were built against the fire and the thousands of houses built on the side of Huoyan City couldn't show much limelight...

The Yale account was originally intended to count how many buildings there were, but he gave up only after opening his head. It is really impossible to count. This grassland city is simply bigger than the main city led by Bolton. It is particularly complicated-this is not a city with hundreds of thousands of years of history, but a city on the grassland. By comparison, the tiger tribe that once proud of him is not even a scrap...

The canal wharf has been expanded several times, and now it has built a lighthouse about ten meters high and two rows of warehouses, as well as a small square about 1,000 square meters wide for loading and unloading and temporary storage of goods. A team of duty soldiers ate skewers on the stove in the duty room near the dock. Hearing the sound of the pneumatic machine, two people walked out side by side to see.

"The ship in the port is back!" A Snow Wolf warrior saw the canal boat clearly and raised his hand to say hello. There is a difference between the ship in the port, the ship in the Snake Department and the ship in the MSG factory. Only the goods loaded on the ship in the port are neatly packed into boxes.

"I'm back too!" Baixiang waved at the bow.

"It's Bai Xiang!" another cat warrior smiled at his comrades, "I heard that Bai Xiang gave the grassroot patriarch a mission to the port, and thought he would play for two more days before coming back."

"What fun is there in the port, those adventurers annoy people." Snow wolf warriors are abandoned.

"You will only be annoyed when we pass, we cats will not go." Cat clan warriors said.

Why is the "Prairie Street" that Fire City puts in the elven port to prevent the adult Snow Werewolves from visiting the store (Ashu is counted in the old and weak and sick), the reason is here... as long as you see the adult Snow Werewolf, those adventures The unavoidable must be entangled, the knight wants to become a close friend with them, and other adventurers want to recruit them as companions.

It was the goblin who learned the skills from the hired human crew on the sea boat. The goblin crew docked the ship to the edge of the pier, put down the anchor, and dropped the thick rope from the ship. The soldier on duty stepped forward. Help them fix the cable to the cement pile.

"Working hard!" The sweaty goblin crew waved when he dropped a cable.

"It's hard work." The soldier on duty nodded to them and shouted back, "The ship is here, let's unload!"

"Come here!" There were eight soldiers coming out of the duty room, the Snow Wolf tribe occupied the big head, and the two cat tribes and the snake tribe were mixed inside.

"Let's help too?" Passion rolled up her sleeves and said to Yale naturally.

Yale account: "... good." Can also refuse to land.

Of the group of tigers that jumped from the bow, only two cat warriors took a few more glances, and the others didn't care. Tigers are not a rare race. Some people from the Ted tent often come to the headquarters of the Welfare Department to scan the goods. When Bai Xiang greeted the tiger heads to help unload the goods, the captain of the warrior on duty also naturally shouted that they watched the marks on the boxes and stacked the boxes by type...

It was already midnight when the five ships were unloaded...

"Isn't it saying that the fleet is back, why only ship this cargo back?"

The tiger heads were tired of doubting their lives, and the snow wolf team leader who organized the unloading asked the ship boss among the goblin crew members.

"The ten boats borrowed from the sugar beet planting base have not yet returned. There are only five boats that can only be transported so much." The elf ship boss wiped his sweat and took out a book from the small shoulder bag on his back. "You sign for it first These five ships, we will go back and continue shipping."

"That's it." The captain took a closer look at the book and signed his name. "Only five ships will be transported back in a hurry, and you will rest until dawn and go back. The MSG factory's ship is also tonight. Come, first borrow their capacity."

"The MSG factory's ship can't hold many things..." The goblin ship boss is still abandon.

"They used the last generation of pneumatic ships eliminated by your port transportation team. It's good not to complain to you that you can only use your old goods. You also pick their ships."

"That is, our Snake Department also used the ship that was eliminated from the port."

"That's because we have more goods to transport, and it's not because of the good ship to watch. Besides, when the Snake Department arrives in the autumn harvest, hasn't the entire fleet of our ships been used?" The goblin ship boss took back the handover book. Then, he took out a bag of money from the shoulder bag and gave it to the captain. "Five ships are all here for loading and unloading. You can count it."

The so-called distribution according to work means that there is a profit after labor. This spirit has become imprinted in the bones of the prairie people... The goblin transportation team can collect money from the cargo owner and pay to the helper when loading and unloading the goods. When I arrived, the goods were loaded by the MSG factory and the snake family, and half of the loading and unloading expenses were paid at that time.

The captain carried a purse in one hand and nodded his head in the other. The prairie people earn money earnestly, and the money is also serious. The minimum contribution of Passion can only be divided into a dozen copper coins, and other soldiers including tiger brains can have more than thirty. ...

The goblins refused the invitation to eat supper and entered the room provided by the pier to rest. The captain shouted the people who had divided the money: "All went to the house to eat skewers. In the middle of the night, there was a ship from the MSG factory. Work and go! "

Tiger heads holding coins: "?"

"I'll do it when I have a job." Bai Xiang smiled and put the money in his pocket, and greeted the tiger heads to keep up. "People on duty at the port can get the rest of the ingredients from the canteen, and we have a good meal. ."

So the group of guests coming from thousands of miles was also brought into the duty room...

There is no honeycomb coal or charcoal in the iron stove of Tinpimon. The spring night temperature on the grassland is not high. It is also very comfortable to sit around the fire. Even the tigers with the soldiers on duty squeezed a house, and the charcoal fire was on. The grilled skewers are grilled and put into a plate, first served to the tiger guests who have not eaten yet.

Faced with the barbecue in an iron pan, Yale was a little stunned for a while...not only meat, green cabbage leaf cabbage gang, including radish slices were skewered and grilled, and even bean sprouts and enoki mushrooms were wrapped in tofu skin, The method of eating is more radical than those shops in the area where the knights lead.

"Why don't you eat?" A snow werewolf munching on radish skewers saw the brains of tigers staring at the plate in a daze. They were curious, "Can't the Tigers eat spicy food?"

"You can eat them. The spicy hot pot Ted Zhongzhong of the Welfare Department bought them young and old." said the Snake family, who was eating chicken legs beside them.

"Don't put so much spicy! I rely on it quickly, it is chili noodles, not pepper powder, don't pour it!" Cat warrior jumped up to stop the snow wolf warriors who are busy grilling skewers.

"It's okay, believe me. The more spicy the better," the Snow Wolf warrior kept his cat warrior away from his arms and continued to slap the chili noodles.

Other Snow Wolf warriors clamored: "If you add more spicy, you can't eat a fool!"

"Are you going to empty all the bottles!"

"Substitute roast, substitute!"

The white tiger veteran silently watched the slapstick warriors for a while and reached for a string of tofu skin wrapped enoki mushrooms from the iron pan.

Only after taking a bit of a roll, the white tiger veteran almost didn't fire out...

Passion strangely took a skewers of roasted cabbage from the Tiger's plate and licked it a little bit and sprayed: "What the hell, don't chili peppers cost money?!"

"This idiot has finished a whole bottle of pepper!" The cat warrior yelled at the grilled snow wolf warrior.

"It's really spicy!" The Snow Werewolf finished eating a bunch of roasted carrot slices and began to exhale.

The Snake Warrior put down half of the chicken leg and twitched his spicy red mouth to stop the guy who volunteered to go up the skewers with the Cat Warrior... The soldier who was spicy with the roasted radish slice also came forward to help.

"Be spicy and energetic! Wait a minute to unload the goods!" The soldiers who were beaten defended.

"Throw this idiot!" the captain said.

"How do you eat so much spicy food?" Bai Xiang shouted heartily at the whole row of grilled skewers on the grill.

"Or, rinse it with boiled water?" The Snow Wolf warrior next to him came up with an idea.

"Then it won't taste good, the taste will be worse!" Bai Xiang was sad.

The goblins resting in the next room heard the movement and came to see the excitement. As soon as they saw the soldier who was thrown out, the goblin ship boss smiled: "It really is you. Last time I helped the cafeteria. One pot of stewed out ten pounds of pepper. , I was so angry that my horns jumped straight, but fortunately we didn’t come to greece your skewers."

"Did you say that you've been to the cafeteria to help this way!!" Inside the room, the duty soldiers including the captain roared in unison.

"Not every one of the Snow Werewolves is particularly good at cooking." Bai Xiang complained loudly to the Yale account.

The Yale account was silent. He just looked at the new masters in the grassland silently. Although a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth, his expression was full of loneliness.

Snow werewolves, cats, snakes, goblins, and MSG workers from the MSG factory he saw in the port, and gray dwarves who built tractors and agricultural machinery for the human kingdom on the grassland After the master, the grassland was more prosperous, more prosperous and more harmonious than the tiger era.

They do not need to make any contempt for the Tigers. Just because of their existence and living on the grassland so happily and harmoniously, it is enough to shame the Tigers who once claimed to be the master of this grassland.
