Journey to the West Tiger Demon, mortals urge me to ascend the throne

Chapter 14 Assigning Tasks
Li Jincheng bowed his head and cupped his hands.

Li Ergou was curious and admired.

White Deer discovers the New World.

Such a strange triangular perspective is thus formed.

Zhao Lei and the village head naturally didn't notice the strangeness of the people around them. After all, both of them were still focusing on this topic.

The village chief said anxiously: "My lord, since you don't use spells, do you have other methods?"

Zhao Lei thought for a moment: "Have you ever heard of a waterwheel? It is a tool that can transport river water to the fields for irrigation."

Li Jincheng raised his head: "My lord, do you mean overturning the car? Jincheng read it from the book. But if you plan to use the overturned car to solve the water source problem in the village, my lord, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Speaking of this, Li Jincheng was slightly disappointed, and then continued: "Jincheng also considered whether overturning the car can solve the drought problem in the village. But the river closest to the village has to go to the mountain. The mountain spirit in the mountain There are so many beasts, we can't reach there at all.

Moreover, overturning the car can only divert the river from a high place to the downstream. The terrain of our Lijia Village is not suitable for this at all, so Jin Chengcheng gave up this idea at the beginning. "

Zhao Lei was slightly surprised.

It seems that the level of mortals in this world of cultivating immortals is not too far behind.

At least there are already waterwheels.

But that was only the first generation of waterwheels.

"You don't have to worry about this layer. As long as you use the axle well, you can achieve the effect of low water and high delivery. Even if the terrain is really not good, we can also build a cow-turned cart or a donkey-turned cart, and use animal power to drive the cart to achieve low water delivery. High delivery effect."

Li Jincheng was in a fog.

He has never heard of the bull-turning cart or the water-turning cart.

But it didn't prevent him from being shocked by the effect of what Zhao Lei said!
If the tiger demon in front of me can really solve the problem of low water and high delivery, it will really benefit the people of the world!
How many fertile fields are unable to be cultivated because of the terrain?
If these lands are liberated and the people have more land to cultivate, wouldn't that mean that the people will have more food and won't go hungry in the future? !

Li Jincheng was so excited that he even forgot the etiquette.

Eyes wide open, he walked up to Zhao Lei and held Zhao Lei's big hand: "Your Majesty, really?!"

Zhao Lei shook off his hand with a look of disgust: "It's not true, after the overturned car is built, you will know?"

Li Jincheng didn't mind Zhao Lei's disgust, and nodded heavily: "Yes! I'm sorry, Jincheng was rude."

Then he stood aside, feeling agitated.

I can't wait to drag Zhao Lei to build a rollover immediately.

Zhao Lei ignored him, and continued to say to himself: "As for the mountain spirit and beast. That's not a problem. When the villagers are building the overturned car, as long as we three brothers keep our breath there, no beast will dare to approach and make trouble. "

Having said this, Li Jincheng is even more sure that Zhao Lei is not talking casually.

This made him look forward to it even more.

The admiration in Li Ergou's eyes deepened a bit.

Bailu's aunt smiled brighter.

Although the village chief didn't quite understand what Zhao Lei was saying, but seeing Li Jincheng's reaction, he realized that Zhao Lei should have found a solution to the water source, so he quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"

Zhao Lei waved his hand: "It's not too late to thank me when things are done. Also, the problems of drought and winter need to be solved, but you can't stop reading! Starting tomorrow, youth or children under the age of 20, regardless of Whether you are a man or a woman, you have to come to the ancestral hall to study and read. After the morning class, I will go back to help you deal with agriculture. After the treatment is over, you adults, no matter how old you are, have to come to study. In short, take turns to do things and allocate time to study Literacy."

Li Jin was in trouble when he was established.

He also wanted Zhao Lei to quickly build the overturned car.

"My lord, this..."

"Don't do this, I'm not discussing with you, I'm informing you."

Li Jincheng could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Later, Zhao Lei asked the village head: "How many poultry are there in your village? Have you done any statistics?"

It is not without reason that Zhao Lei would ask such a question.

Previously, the little demon on this mountain was only the squirrel spirit himself. Whether he hunted by himself or regularly provided meat to the Long Live Fox King, the resources in the mountain forest were sufficient and would not affect the ecology.

But now that the three Zhao Lei brothers have taken shape, things are different.

White deer and black sheep are no longer just vegetarians.

In addition, Zhao Lei's appetite is bigger than that of squirrel spirits.

If it was just to support the three brothers, the resources in this forest could barely support them.

But if it is added for meat, it is far from enough.

If things go on like this, the animals in the forest will definitely be eaten up.

It's okay if it's an ordinary monster, they just need to go down the mountain to catch a few humans and go back to do business.

But Zhao Lei is absolutely unacceptable.

After all, in the final analysis, his inner soul is still a human being, and it is really impossible for him to speak to human beings.

So he had to send his idea to the village.

The village head did not dare to neglect Zhao Lei, a living Bodhisattva who could change their fate, and quickly replied: "My lord, there are still hundreds of chickens and ducks. But as for pigs, the village sold a lot of them last time to avoid corvee labor." , and now there are only a few left. There are some cows and sheep. If you dare to ask your majesty, I don’t know why you ask this because..."

I heard Zhao Lei ask about poultry.

The village head still had some small expectations in his heart.

If Zhao Lei set his mind on the poultry instead of eating them, he would still be happy to give these poultry to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei didn't answer him.

Calculating silently in my heart.

According to Song Shujing, the amount of meat he serves each time needs to weigh 2000 kilograms.That's about the weight of eight full-grown tigers, or eight pigs.

This is not a small amount.

If you really want to catch a species, you might kill people.

It's like the most numerous wolf in the forest.

An average wolf weighs only 50 kilograms.

For one confession, 20 wolves must be caught.

They need to make offerings twice a year.

No matter how many wolves there are, they will be wiped out, let alone other animals?
And, more importantly, Zhao Lei didn't plan to offer only 2000 kilograms this time.He intends to offer 4000 kilograms.In exchange for the demon king's forgiveness.

After all, the squirrel spirit was killed by their three brothers.

No matter what they do, they should take it easy, right?

Even if you can't see the demon king, it is necessary to prepare extra meat to bribe the little demon who comes to collect meat.

Otherwise, if others go back and add salt and vinegar to report, wouldn't my three brothers start to flee?

After some calculations, Zhao Lei felt that there were still not enough poultry in the village.

Maybe it was enough for him to pay the tribute this time.

But what about next time?

So he looked at Li Ergou, took out the taels of silver looted from Huang Fugui and others, and said, "Look at how many pigs and feed you can buy with the taels of silver here. Buy as much as you can." .From today, your village not only needs to study and develop agriculture, but also to set up a breeding farm."
