As a lord, I was forced to farm

"Thank you, sir!" Hu Xiang shook her pink tail, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude to Jiang Ran.

If Jiang Ran were a man, he might be fascinated by this charming alien from the fox tribe.

Jiang Ran was relatively relieved when she handed over the demon fire tree to the Shadow Army of the Fox Clan. She jumped onto the ancient tree stump, the demon spirit ring around her neck flashed, and there was a demon spirit with pink flames on her head. The insect couldn't wait to jump to the demon fire tree.

"Chirp~~" Shushu, I miss you so much~~

The Demon Fire Tree Spirit Insect simply couldn't imagine how he lived while being locked in the Demon Spirit Ring.

Jiang Ran knew that keeping this little demon spirit inside was not an option, but she didn't have that much time to go back and forth between Xiangling and Suling City.

There was also a reason why Hu Xiang and the others were brought here.

The purpose of confining this little demon spirit is to tell it that if it does not exercise restraint when cultivating the demon fire tree, it will be "punished" next time.

After leaving the two contracted beasts, the fox tribesmen and the demon spirit insects in the land of Beiling, Jiang Ran returned to the Whirlpool Gate alone.

With the help of Jiahan and Jiabing, Chen Mao found a suitable place to build a prison in Nanling, about five kilometers away from Shicun.

The criminals were all shaved into crew cuts and worked together. A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said bitterly, "What does this mean? We build our own prisons to hold us? Isn't this burning ourselves?!"

"Yeah, I don't know what they think. The yellow sand is so hot. Suling doesn't even give us a pair of shoes to wear. The iron cuffs on our feet are so heavy. It's really going to kill us!"

"Let's see, when I go out, I will make them look good in the future!"

A group of people were busy with their hands and chattering in a low voice. The soldiers with sharp ears heard it and mercilessly slapped the whip on the backs of several people. The soldier's whip-swinging technique was very sophisticated and there was no blood. But the pain was excruciating, and both those who were beaten and those who were not beaten remained silent.

the other side.

Chen Mao held a drawing and looked at the prison's design with Jiang Ran.

After chatting for a while, Chen Mao thought of something and said to Jiang Ran expectantly, "Your Excellency, the Qushui Building in Hengdi has almost been built. The conveyor elevator and the second floor have been decorated. All that remains is to place the tables." , when will you go and inspect it? If there are any deficiencies, we can correct them as soon as possible."

Jiang Ran had high hopes for the Qushui Building project and would personally supervise it from time to time before the patrol. April was the day when Jiang Ran requested that Yulongxuan and Nanke Tavern be completed.

The Qushui Building is positioned as a high-end commercial building. Jiang Ran is a picky person. The bricks used to build the Qushui Building are three platinum bricks that need to be crystallized. The wood was transported from the Wulian Qingshan Mountain to grow. Iron birch is made of hundreds of years old. It cost 150,000 spirit crystals just to purchase the two teleportation elevators from Qi Yu. Except for the second floor, the other floors have not yet been decorated, but 6 million spirit crystals have been spent. , the cost was more than she originally planned, and this was still under the condition that Suling County would be used if the manpower and materials could be used.

The spiritual crystals he earned from selling the Holy Spear at the auction have long been spent. Jiang Ran now relies on Baicaotang, territory tax, fishery and other income to survive.

If Qushui Tower does not open for a day, it will suffer a loss. "I'll go on another day." Jiang Ran replied.

Chen Mao had an excited smile on his dark face, "Yes."

……

Farewell to Chen Mao, Jiang Ran went to Shicun accompanied by two Yulin guards.

On one side, Sun Yaoxu and Gao Litang heard the sound and came over. They were wearing light long-sleeved trousers and a headscarf on their heads. Within ten days, they were completely darkened by the sun, "I've seen the County Lord!"

Jiang Ran nodded to show that there was no need to be polite. As he walked towards Shicun, he asked, "How is the situation here?"

The two of them followed Jiang Ran, one on the left and the other on the right. Sun Yaoxu said, "Southern Antelope is all sandy land, which can't hold water and has no demons. It's difficult for ordinary seeds to survive in such a harsh environment. Only some seeds have been planted." As for mature drought-tolerant trees or drought-tolerant grassland, I once cultivated a batch of golden ambers with fleshy balls in Xiaoliang Mountain, and now they have been transplanted near the ancient Zhanhua tree..."

Gao Litang said, "County Master, I remember that there is an alfalfa spirit insect in our county. Alfalfa can survive in semi-sandy areas. This kind of semi-sandy land is near Shicun, which is protected by ancient Zhanhua trees. In addition, With the power of demon spirits and ancient trees, alfalfa may be able to survive near Shicun. It takes a year or two for alfalfa to solidify the sand and change the soil quality, making it relatively easy to plant other plants."

Sun Yaoxu also agrees with this method.

"In addition, the Beiling Zone..." Thinking of the environment of Beiling, Gao Litang's eyes lit up slightly, but quickly extinguished, "The Beiling Zone is rich in ground fire, which is actually very suitable for the growth of most fire plants. It's a pity. Plants need a variety of materials to grow, but this alone is not enough. Beiling, especially in the Yanxin area, is full of hard rocks, and there is no soil to support plant growth."

When the two spiritual farmers mentioned this aspect, they were so mesmerized that they didn't care at all even if Jiang Ran was right in front of them.

"Grow flaming rock flowers!"

Sun Yaoxu clapped his hands excitedly, Jiang Ran looked away, and the other party calmed down his loud voice.

After clearing his throat, Sun Yaoxu explained to him in a warm voice, "The Yanyan flower is a fire flower attached to the surface of the stone. After blooming, the stem veins below the flower can be cut. The Yanyan flower's stem veins store them. The flaming rock liquid is absorbed and stored from the air. Drinking this flaming rock liquid can improve the body's resistance to flames. It is not only popular among fire monks, but also non-fire monks who see the flames in order to fight against the fire monks. Rock liquid will also be purchased.”

"Then plant the Yanyan Flower. I will find a way to get a batch of Yanyan Flower seeds." Jiang Ran decided to follow the advice of the two spiritual farmers.

As they spoke, the group quickly arrived at Shicun. Mushahe, who was appointed by Jiang Ran as the village head of Shicun, was the first to know that Jiang Ran would come, and quickly gave Jiang Ran the most "luxurious" house in Shicun.

Jiang Ran's arrival made the desert people very excited. In just half a month, they tasted clean water. A doctor treated them. A child who had been ill for almost half a year got off the bed with the help of the doctor. I even saw the lifeless ancient Zhanhua tree glowing with life.

Although Mushahe said that they stayed in Lingxiang Secret Realm to atone for their sins, so they followed Chief Daran's instructions, planting trees, building sand sleds, riding sand wolves in the scorching sun, and riding strangers from outside.
