Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 152 Opposite the Mist
"Next, while there is no fog around, mobilize some Imperial Guards and the Third Field Battalion to wipe out part of Nancheng County."

Di Feng thought about it.

"Moreover, most of the mountainous areas in Nancheng County are not suitable for farming, so some of the trees on the mountain will be cut down to open up orchards. At that time, whether it is producing fresh fruit or brewing fruit vinegar, fruit wine will be a special product in Nancheng County.

At the same time, forests are left in some places where even fruit trees are not suitable, and several large forest farms are circled. A batch is cut down and a batch is planted every year to ensure the timber needs in Qinghe Territory. "

In this way, Qinghe has five counties under its jurisdiction, Dongyuan County is used as a pasture and agricultural production area, Yuanbei County has coal mines and Huxi County has farms and agriculture.There are mines, orchards, and forest farms in Nancheng County, plus factories in Qinghe Ling, which can provide various materials for the Lord's Mansion.

In this way, with the passage of time, Qinghe went through ten mist explorations after the lead, and seven months passed, and Qinghe led the autumn harvest, winter, and spring again.

During these ten explorations, Di Feng didn't gain much. He removed some wood, some sand and minerals, and some fruit tree species, medicinal materials and other usable plant species.

In addition, the biggest achievement is that two groups of refugees with a population of about 5000 were met by Di Feng and resettled in Dongyuan County.

And one of them encountered a large tribe of orcs with a population of 5000. When Di Feng discovered this tribe, he retreated immediately to avoid casualties, lifted the space fixation, and gave up this time's fog exploration.

However, within seven months, three mist incidents occurred inside the Qinghe Territory. A group of black iron-level zombies invaded. They were shot and burned by the border guards with their rune rifles, causing only a few soldiers to die.

One time was the invasion of monsters. These monsters fled into the mountains and forests, and some of them could not be caught.

The third time was a group of about a hundred black iron-level wolf monsters invading, and they were blocked by Di Feng's troops, and they were all arrested and handed over to Hu Sanniang, which greatly increased the number of Hu Sanniang's wolf cavalry.

However, in the three mist incidents, 50 soldiers of the surrounding border battalion were killed in battle, and hundreds of people were injured.

However, the bravery of the soldiers has protected a large number of residents in the territory and reduced a lot of losses for the territory. For the territory, such casualties are valuable.

"My lord, this year's statistics have been completed. Last autumn harvest, all regions won a bumper harvest. Taxes in various regions have been handed over to the treasury. All village and town households have enough surplus food to survive the winter. In addition, the coal pellet stove The popularity of the area, the supply of coal is sufficient, it can be said that no one in the territory froze to death throughout the winter, and the whole Qinghe Territory can be said to be in a good situation."

Inside the lord's mansion, Zhang Xiu was reporting to Di Feng.

"In addition, there is good news from Nancheng County. With the cooperation of Battalion Commander Bai Zhi's Second Frontier Battalion and the Third Field Battalion, the boundaries of Nancheng County have been cleared after the winter.

In this inventory, some new mines were discovered, including silver mines, gold mines, some iron mines and a rock salt mine. At the same time, 35 villages and towns were found, with a total population of about 5000 people, including 7000 people who were searched years ago. Now these villages and towns have all been brought under the jurisdiction of Nancheng County. "

"In addition, according to the plan of the previous lord, Nancheng County has also started the work of clearing the forest. Ten forest farms have been identified, and it is expected to open up [-] fruit forests in the spring of next year.

And the medical department, based on their exploration of medicinal planting, is now planning to open a batch of medicinal fields in Nancheng County in suitable areas. "

"Well, very good." Di Feng nodded.

Zhang Xiu continued. "The next work before winter is the construction of the territory, the construction of the city walls of Yuanbei County and Huxi County, and the development of mountain roads in Nancheng County.

At present, various construction work is going smoothly. Under the leadership of the lord, the Qinghe Territory is getting stronger and stronger. The main task of the territory now is to organize this year's spring plowing work, and everything is still based on food. "

"very good."

Listening to Zhang Xiu's income and work report, Di Feng also saw that the Qinghe collar was also getting stronger, and Di Feng also showed a smile on his face.

"The only problem with the territory now is that the production of cloth in the territory is temporarily low, including cotton, wool, and animal skins, which are in short supply due to the rapid population growth in the territory. We need to increase cotton planting. Several cotton farms have been opened up on the wastelands of North and Far North counties."

Di Feng said. "This is very good. We have opened up a few planting farms in the spring, and there is still a large area of ​​open space in the territory. If these farms are not enough, we can draw some more land as cotton fields."

"Yes, I will open up as many cotton farms as possible when I go back."

After Zhang Xiu finished reporting, Di Feng also began to prepare for a new exploration of the mist.

In the previous few fog explorations, because I didn’t encounter any good things, I just transported back some ore, wood, and no special supplies.

And because of the encounter with the monster, many soldiers who followed were injured and died.This time, Di Feng also chose to set off in the east, followed by a cavalry squadron of the Imperial Guard, and the second guard battalion was responsible for responding at any time.

"The space is fixed."

In an instant, the fog space in front of Di Feng was stable, and Di Feng led the cavalry into the fog and began to advance carefully.

"Roar, roar, roar."

But this time, not long after stepping into the misty world, Di Feng heard a series of beast roars. Apart from the beast roars, there was also a burst of human fighting sounds, just like a battlefield.

"There's a situation ahead, and it's very wrong."

For a while, hearing these roars, Di Feng stopped moving forward and stayed in place for a while, seeing that no one entered the mist. After thinking twice, he made up his mind to move on.

"Even if there is danger ahead, it's a big deal to come back directly, but what if there is an opportunity ahead." Di Feng rode his horse forward and thought to himself.

This time the fog was unexpectedly short, only 500 meters away, and Di Feng passed through the fog. As soon as he stepped out of the fog, there was a large plain in front of Di Feng, and a group of crowded farmers on Di Feng's side.

These people carry burdens on their backs, and some have shoulder poles, small carts and carts.Looking around, this group of people is at least [-] or more.

In front of the crowd, there were various formations of infantry and cavalry fighting together, and there were various flags flying above those infantry and cavalry.

And it was the goblins who fought with them. This time, the goblins were not the kind of goblins that Shi Qinghe had encountered before, but had heavy infantry, cavalry, mages, priests, and all kinds of powerful troops. force.

The number of goblins on the opposite side is about [-], fighting with tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, but this human army seems to be mostly ordinary people, and the battlefield is one-sided. The whole battlefield is extremely tragic.

Di Feng looked at the past at this time and looked at the flying flag. Although these Chinese characters have subtle differences due to different worlds, it is like modern people who can't write traditional characters, but they have their own translators, and they can roughly recognize those traditional characters when they see them. Usually, Di Feng could see clearly the words on some flags.

"Don, Lee."

"It seems to be an army of the Tang Dynasty in a certain world, and the title of Li may be Li Tang. But if the fight continues like this, that Goblin army can wipe out this number of troops."

Di Feng guessed in his heart, but he didn't move forward.This unknown human army is not Di Feng's tombstone.

It’s just that the current population is more than 10,000, which is enough to make Di Feng greedy. Now Qingheling has a population of only [-]+. Now if he can feed this group of people, Qingheling’s strength will directly double.

As for the problem of accepting these refugees and causing instability in the territory, it will not exist.

First of all, Qinghe collar has absolute force, even if there are many of these people, it is enough to deter them.Moreover, the admission of refugees in Qinghe City is based on the families of the refugees, breaking up the families one by one.

In this way, the clan problems that originally existed in the countryside will no longer exist. When the families of each clan are scattered in different villages and all have their own property, who will think about the exploitative clan.

In addition, Qinghe leader also started from the people at the bottom, and set up a government affairs department in the village, and the security station was in the village, so every move of the village would be noticed.

After that, the militia organized all the young and middle-aged people in the village to train during the slack season. Through military training, these young and middle-aged people had their own ideas, and they had the face to think of their own, so they would not be encouraged by others.

Afterwards, schools, hospitals and other facilities were built to attract the refugees, so that the refugees wanted to stabilize at the very beginning. As for the restless elements, they would be picked out by security personnel and militiamen, and sent to prison for several years or even decades. labor reform.

And after coming here for a while, these refugees have completely settled down, and naturally they will not resist the rule of Qinghe Territory.

With all kinds of means, Di Feng has no problem in absorbing refugees, and he doesn't have to worry about large-scale rebellion in the territory.

At this time, Di Feng led the cavalry and rushed out of the mist suddenly, and was noticed by the surrounding people. The appearance of Di Feng and his party surprised the surrounding people, but there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes. Looking at the fog that was as thick as a wall, they were not just afraid. Some people wanted to rush over, but no one dared to be the first to eat crabs.

After struggling, a commoner took courage,
"General, how did you come out of the fog?"

"Everyone, we are from the Qinghe leader in the misty world on the opposite side. Our Qinghe leader has broken through the fog. Now everyone follows us into the fog to avoid those monsters.

Now that this fog has been stabilized by us, everyone can safely walk through the fog. "

Regarding the people's inquiries, Di Feng shouted loudly to the panicked crowd around him, encouraging the people to follow him into the mist.
