It was already noon, but Ron did not stop the convoy because there were only seven or eight kilometers left and they would soon reach the real frontier.

It would be better to hold on for a while longer, wait until we reach the frontier, make a fire and cook, and start studying the territory construction.

"My Lord, Lucia is really exhausted. She is so tired~"

Lucia is like this. If she moves a little, she will feel uncomfortable all over and she doesn't feel comfortable at all when lying down.

"If you don't go out to pump water, the barbecue will be reduced by half."

Ron used his trump card and cut into Lucia's favorite food.

I believe she will cheer herself up just to eat the barbecue.

"Lord, please, Lucia loves meat the most, please don't let Lucia have no meat~"

Although Lucia was craving for meat, she was conflicted about whether to continue working.

Because she was stupid, she had no idea what it meant to reduce the amount of food by half, and the barbecue would be eaten later, so she didn't have an intuitive feeling of having less barbecue.

"Well, if you move, I'll reward you with a roasted leg of lamb."

Seeing that Lucia was interested, Ron changed his mind and asked someone to bring some delicious roasted lamb legs and dangle them in front of Lucia.

"Go down and pump the water, and this leg of lamb will be yours."

Facing the visible barbecue, Lucia couldn't resist the temptation. Ambergris was secreted like crazy in her mouth, and she wanted to pounce on it and start chewing on it.

She had no idea how much it would be if it was reduced by half, she only knew that there was a roasted leg of lamb in front of her.

"Lu, Lucia will go now, Lord, wait for me..."

Lucia immediately became full of energy, got out of the car, pumped away the water in a few seconds, then got back into the car, picked up the lamb leg and started to eat it.

Lucia is like this. As long as there is food, she will probably do anything.

Ron also understood the nature of this water dragon lady through this incident. Next time if he asks her for help, he just needs to prepare the barbecue in advance....

If there is barbecue to eat, I guess she will be willing to eat raw meat...

Chapter 99: Developing the Land! Olivia's Tail is Squeezed! Something is Wrong!

Time is like running water, always slipping away inadvertently.

Of course, it didn’t flow that fast, it just came to the afternoon.

The pioneering team started in the morning and advanced without stopping, and finally arrived at the frontier.

This is a small hill with only a small part exposed and not covered by the swamp. It is surrounded by half-human-high weeds and bottomless mud.

The land is so small that it is too narrow to build a mud-brick house and is totally unsuitable for expanding territory.

Of course, this is impossible for ordinary nobles to develop, but Ron is the only exception.

Because he has Olivia and Lucia, with them, he can perfectly carve out a territory in the swamp.

"Master, this hill is too small."

After getting off the carriage, Fiona stepped on the weed-covered hillside and couldn't help but complain.

"This is temporary, and it will soon become a vast territory."

After saying this, Ron looked at the Asian dragon lady beside him;

"Oviel, Lucia, use the hill as the center and start filling in the soil to create land."

It was still early before the sun set, so they had to clear a large area of ​​land so that they could set up the tent.

Otherwise, if they spend the night in a swamp with such a big temperature difference between day and night, many people would probably freeze to death at night.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Oviel didn't complain because she knew she urgently needed a place to stay.

Otherwise, you will have to sleep in the cold mud at night.

"Lord, Lucia is so tired~"

Lucia only pumped a few times and didn't do much, but she screamed loudly.

When Ron saw her like this, he wanted to shut her up and let her know the consequences of not working.

"In half an hour, you can eat this delicious, sizzling lamb leg."

There is no other way now as the expansion is imminent, I can only lure him with delicious food and then teach the disobedient little dragon a lesson at night.

"Great! Lucia likes roasted lamb legs the most~"

This trick may not work for others, but it works every time for Lucia, who can't control her mouth and can't move her legs when she sees food.

Seeing that there was lamb leg to eat, she immediately became motivated and cooperated with Olivia to start filling the ground to make a flat and solid surface.

As the water in the puddle was drained away, the fish, shrimps and crabs that were originally swimming in it suddenly lost their shelter and had to jump around in the mud.

These are all high-protein, high-nutrition foods. I’ve just about finished eating all the meat I got on the road, so I can use them as a replenishment.

At Ron's command, the serfs rolled up their trouser legs, rolled up their sleeves, walked into the mud, and began catching fish and crabs.

Men's love for hunting is engraved in their bones and planted in their genes. No man can resist the temptation of fish and shrimp.

There is no foreign invasion of the swamp and no overfishing by humans, so the water resources are extremely abundant.

Many experienced farmers have also caught high-quality game such as soft-shelled turtles and eels, which are very nutritious when stewed and delicious when roasted.

There were too many fish to eat in one night, so Ron asked Ovier to pick a place, dig out the soil, and build a large fish pond two or three meters deep to raise the fish that could not be eaten in one night.

When you want to eat it next time, just go down and catch it.

However, soft-shelled turtles, eels, and black carp cannot be put into fish ponds because they can come ashore and burrow into the soil. Untreated fish ponds cannot raise these creatures at all.

Give everyone a snack in the evening.

"Oviel, build a wheat field of about 30 acres in this area."

After the wheat seeds are watered and kept for a few days, they all sprout. Now they need to be scattered into fertile fields and will grow into seedlings in four or five days.

It is just right for this period of time to open up wheat fields. Once the wheat fields are opened up, the people can start planting rice and wheat.

"What's thirty acres? What's a wheat field?"

For Ovier, who lived in the Asian dragon tribe, these words were completely incomprehensible.

"Forehead...."

Ron was stunned for a moment, then began to describe to Olivia how big an acre was and what a field for growing wheat seedlings should look like.

Wheat seedling fields are similar to wheat fields. Wheat seedlings need fertile mud, while wheat fields do not need too much water. You only need to dig some ditches, irrigate occasionally, and remove insects and weeds, and they will mature quickly.

Under Ron's guidance, Ovier understood the approximate size of an acre, and together with Lucia, she began to block the flow of water, and soon reclaimed nearly 30 acres of wheat fields.

However, in addition to the silt, there are also a lot of weeds and grass roots, which need to be cleared out before wheat seeds can be sown.

At this time, the serfs came into use. With the hard work of more than a hundred farmers, the weeds in the wheat fields were all cleared in less than half an hour.

I don’t know if you all want to show that in the more than 30 acres of wheat fields, there is no grass growing, not even a weed root can be seen, only brown and black mud.

This black mud is very fertile. It is the fertilizer formed by the dead grass and animals that have settled over hundreds of years.

Then the farmers worked in groups of two, carried the germinated wheat seeds off the carriage, stood beside the ridge of the field, and sprinkled them evenly into the fertile wheat field.

The farmers were working hard, sweating profusely, with happy smiles on their faces.

Because they know that the wheat seeds sown now will turn into golden ears of rice in the future and become food for the winter...

What is being planted now is not wheat seeds, but the hope of survival.

----

The setting sun, intertwined with the sunset glow, performs the last dance before farewell.

Under the setting sun, Olivia wiped the sweat from her face and lay on the ground, feeling very tired but smiling happily.

Because seeing that large area of ​​weeds and mud turned into solid land in the blink of an eye thanks to the hard work of himself and Lucia, he felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Especially when she saw everyone's shocked, stunned and admiring eyes, Olivia felt very satisfied and accomplished.

“Delicious, roasted lamb leg is delicious~”

After finishing her work, Lucia didn't have any other thoughts. She just knew that she could eat lamb legs if she worked.

Can a sense of accomplishment be eaten as meat?

It’s better to eat a mouthful of fragrant lamb leg.

"Oviel, Lucia, thank you for your hard work today. If you hadn't filled more than ten square kilometers of land, we would have nowhere to sleep at night."

Ron looked at the two dragons gently and was very satisfied with their performance.

With more than ten square kilometers of land, it is enough for seven or eight hundred people to set up camp at night, and the rest can be left to them tomorrow. The initial land needed for the territory can basically be filled.

As for the remaining land, we will make plans after we have developed the wheat fields.

"This is what I should do."

Oviel lay on the ground, breathing heavily and smiling in response.

For some reason, the admiring and praising looks from the knights and farmers did not make her happier than the simple “thank you for your hard work” from the man in front of her.

"My Lord, after you finish your work, you will have barbecue to eat, right~"

Even though she was lying on the ground exhausted, Lucia was still thinking about food.

"All you can eat barbecue tonight."

In order to motivate the Water Dragon Lady, Ron decided to let her eat as much as she wanted tonight.

Because they would be relying on her to work all day tomorrow, and at least several dozen square kilometers of land would have to be opened up to be used for the basic construction of the territory.

The remaining facilities will be planned after the wheat fields are cultivated.

"Great! Lucia loves barbecue the most~"

Hearing that she could eat as much as she wanted, Lucia's mouth began to secrete sweet ambergris.

Perhaps because she had consumed too much energy, she inexplicably wanted the Lord to help her massage her tail...
