Kato Megumi wants to learn magic
Page 171
Even if cement can speed up the progress, it only reduces the need for manpower! What is needed is still needed. After all, whether it is external or internal, the manpower required is very large.
So for these problems, Kato Megumi felt that she could not just sit there and wait, but had to take the initiative.
"How is the progress of grain planting? We are short of manpower at the moment, so I can only trouble you to speed up the process and plant the fields near the county court first."
"Don't worry, sir. Everyone is working very hard. I have arranged for people to plant the potatoes and sweet potatoes you ordered. Thanks to the fact that the seeds you provided are not picky about the soil, they can grow as long as you dig a hole and put them in. The progress is very fast now. The land within a three-mile radius of the county court is almost planted."
Wang Tong said excitedly.
Kato Megumi nodded gently. She was not surprised by such progress. After all, this was a grain variety that had been improved in the magical world. No matter how bad it was, it was still a very good grain variety for this world. It was not picky about soil quality and was resistant to diseases. As long as it was in the soil, it would take root and sprout in a month without any care. No wonder Wang Tong was so excited.
Although Kato Megumi had told the other party that these grains would grow very fast in the early stage because they were contaminated with some fairy energy, they would gradually degenerate, and their disease resistance and growth rate would become slow, just like ordinary grains.
Even though he knew this, Wang Tong still said this with a smile on his face.
"Even so, it has solved our urgent problem. Moreover, even if the yield is reduced, the yield of these grains is several times higher than that of our grains. You may not know, sir, that when we relied on the weather for food, even if the yield was reduced a little bit, it was not enough for the family to eat. Now the yield can be increased several times, which means that farming can feed the family. I am so happy!"
As for farming, Wang Tong never thought in his life that there would be such a high-yield product. Therefore, when he got the seeds, he was both excited and disappointed. He was excited that he could get such a good thing, but he was disappointed that he could not plant it at that time because of land pollution.
Now all the fields near the county court have been purified by Lady Dragon Girl, which made him very happy. As a farmer has a farming spirit, as soon as Kato Megumi opened his mouth, he immediately took on the farming task and led the hired workers to start the farming work around the clock.
Look, in just half a month, Wang Tong in front of him has become a darker color. You can tell at a glance that it is due to excessive sun exposure. But even so, this guy has not lost interest in farming and is still happily farming. He has not given up just because of his higher status. It can be seen how obsessed he is with farming.
But this is also a good thing. After all, the more food the better. As the saying goes, food must be sent before troops move forward.
As time goes by, the changes in Longting County will surely be known to the surrounding counties. By then, a considerable number of refugees will flock here, and there will also be a considerable amount of ill will directed towards this place.
At this time, having sufficient food can make both Kato Megumi and the people feel completely at ease.
It was precisely because Kato Megumi took out the grain seeds and informed the yield and situation of the grain seeds that the talents in the county court did not rush to exchange gold and silver for dragon coins to snatch food!
Otherwise, Kato Huike would have a headache. Of course, just in case, she still set a purchase limit. County residents with Longting County identity cards can only buy 1 gold dragon coin of food per household per day, and more is not allowed.
This is not only to prevent looting, but also to prevent food from being purchased and then circulated outside.
If it were in the future, Kato Megumi would allow this, but now when food is scarce, this situation is not allowed.
Of course, this regulation not only applies to the formal residents of the county court, but also to new population entering the county court. Similar regulations also apply to them.
Regardless of whether they were from the surrounding villages or those who had moved in from other counties, they could only buy one person’s daily ration for the first two months.
Only after two months have passed and there has been no bad behavior during this period, will the temporary identity certificate be replaced with an official one. The system that will be used at that time will be the one for residents.
Of course, this system will not last long. It will be cancelled in more than a month when the next batch of grain is produced. After all, by then, supply will exceed demand and purchase restrictions will no longer be necessary.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of food getting moldy and spoiling when stored at home? Then just limit the purchase!
There should be no problem with food in the future, and what we need to pay attention to next are other issues.
"What are the salt reserves like? How long will they last?"
Kato Megumi asked, salt is an essential substance for the human body, so the amount of it is no less than that of food.
"Sir, the salt reserves can last for more than two months based on the current population. There is an exhausted salt mine near Longting County. Because it can't produce much salt, the salt needed by Longting County in the future will be traded from merchants coming from outside.
Commander Zhang and I went to check it out and found that although the salt mine was exhausted, there was still salt, which could last for a few months..."
Wang Wei on the side answered.
Kato Kei nodded when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Huan.
"Commander Zhang, what is the recent population movement like? Are there any new refugees or bandits roaming around the county court?"
Hearing Kato Hui's question, Zhang Huanli quickly responded.
"Sir, basically all the survivors around the county court have been brought back by me, excluding those who fled to the deep mountains and old forests to survive. Now there is no one left in the surrounding villages. Those who should be brought to the county court have already come to the county court. Although there are not many refugees from other counties, they have all been brought back."
Speaking of this, he paused and then continued.
"As for bandits, although our Longting County is close to the mountains and forests, the land is barren. I'm afraid bandits can only be found in neighboring counties. I'm afraid there won't be any bandits coming to rob us at this time."
"is that so……"
Kato Megumi blinked, then frowned cutely.
"That's such a pity... It would be great if we could meet some bandits. They would be free men... Then we could give our men some training. But unfortunately, we didn't meet any bandits... It's such a pity."
Hearing what Lady Dragon Lady muttered at the top, Zhang Huan twitched his lips, lowered his head and looked respectful, as if he heard nothing.
It seemed that she realized that she really couldn't just sit there and wait for death. After thinking for a moment, Kato Megumi spoke.
"In this case, they can only attack from outside..."
Kato Megumi pursed her lips and looked out the window. With her keen hearing, she could vaguely hear the bustling atmosphere on the streets outside. This kind of bustling and bustling crowd could normally make people happy, but she always felt an urgent stimulation in her heart, telling her that time was running out!
Thinking of the strange power that appeared at the execution ground, Kato Megumi couldn't help but ponder deeply. Where did those meteorites come from? Are there more people outside who are affected by the meteorites? Will the meteorites mutate over time? Even if they don't enter the stomach, they will cause great harm!
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Kato Megumi felt!
This matter had nothing to do with her. She was just a passer-by, a visitor from another world. Logically, she didn't need to worry about anything here. She only needed to find high-energy things, strengthen herself, and wait until she had enough, then go to the next world.
However, by accident, Kato Megumi came into contact with the people of this world. Somehow she turned into a fish, met the little goldfish, met the villagers, and by chance she came into contact with the dragon vein of this place and formed a contract with the people of this land.
Regardless of interests or other emotions, Kato Megumi is completely bound to this world. If anything happens in the future, she must face it and she has no choice but to take responsibility.
On the other hand, this also concerns her interests. As long as she protects enough people, she will gain more power of wishes. Not only that, the size of her territory is also related to the amount of dragon vein power. Therefore, whether for the inexplicable crisis in her heart or for her own interests, Kato Megumi needs to expand her territory and protect more people!
Thinking of this, Kato Megumi suddenly became serious.
"Wang Wei."
"What are your orders, sir?"
"Put aside your work and hand it over to others for the time being. Now I need you to take some people to the nearby county to investigate the specific situation and find a channel for a stable supply of salt."
When Wang Wei heard the task issued by Kato Megumi, he was stunned, and then quickly responded.
"I understand! Don't worry, sir. I will find the right person to help you solve your problem."
Wang Wei had a new mission, and the other two naturally had new instructions. Kato Hui looked at Wang Tong and Zhang Huan and said,
"As for the two of you, Zhang Huan, you continue to patrol with some officers and soldiers to prevent other emergencies. As for Wang Tong, you also need to hand over your work to others for the time being. I need you to take some people to the nearby county to spread the news that there is food here and people will not starve to death, so as to attract more people to come. Do you understand?"
"My Lord... wouldn't this be too risky... if some powerful force knew about it."
Wang Tong hesitated.
"Hmm? So this depends on you..."
Kato Megumi blinked and chuckled.
"I need this rumor to attract the common people at the bottom and make the powerful people think it is nonsense. Lord Wang Tong, I believe that with your eloquence, this kind of thing should be no problem, right?"
"Ok?"
Seeing Kato Megumi looking at him with a smile, Wang Tong swallowed his saliva. He felt that the mission was important, but also a little bit weak!
But soon he showed a vitality that was not inferior to his age and made a promise to Kato Megumi!
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best!"
"Well... then I feel relieved!"
Kato Megumi nodded, gave encouragement to a few people, and then watched them leave.

On the other hand, as if she remembered something, Kato Megumi called Hanyun, who was a little busy, and then told her the fact that several people who worked with her had to leave temporarily. She comforted her that she would inevitably be busy, and asked her to bear more responsibility, and she could tell her if she was too busy.
Han Yun knew about this, nodded vigorously, and assured him with vigor.
"Don't worry! I've experienced the 996 work schedule, so this level of work won't be a problem for me!?"
"996?"
Seeing that Kato Megumi tilted her head with a confused look on her face, Hanyun told her the meaning of this sentence, and Kato Megumi then understood what it meant.
996 means working from 9 am to 9 pm, with a one-hour break at noon and in the evening, and a six-day work system.
Hearing Xiao Hanyun say this, Kato Hui glanced at her and then smiled slightly.
“So that’s how it is…”
"Yes!"
Han Yun nodded vigorously.
"In that case, I'll ask you for one more favor... After all, you look full of energy and vitality, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask you for one more favor!"
"Yes, sister, you don't have to feel sorry for me. You should know that I am still young and strong."
I thought Her Highness the Dragon Girl would comfort me, but she got stuck in the middle of her words.
Al?
So...I think that my sister is comforting me because I am just being too narcissistic.
Han Yun looked embarrassed.
Kato Megumi looked at her with amusement.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I just want you to take care of a little girl and show her the world..."
"brat?"
Hanyun thought about it.
"What kind of child is that?"
Her Highness the Dragon Girl sometimes calls herself a child. What kind of child should she be allowed to bring to see the world?
If it is a child, I didn't see any child in front of my sister. What kind of child could it be? I don't know if it is easy to get along with.
Hanyun was thinking about it, but saw Kato Megumi in front of him shook her head with a helpless expression.
"Not really, she's a little special, but since you came from another world, I believe it won't be too surprising if you take care of her!"
After all, modern humans live in the information age and receive too much information. They should be more accepting of some strange people or things than ancient people!
Hearing Kato Hui say this, Han Yun felt even more curious... Weird? What kind of weird method could it be?
She stared at Kato Megumi with curiosity.
So, Hanyun watched helplessly as Kato Megumi took out a transparent glass water tank out of thin air, and in the water tank there was a little goldfish swimming around lively, looking very energetic, as if it was a little curious about the sudden change in the environment.
"Sister? This is..."
Just when Han Yun was looking puzzled, suddenly a clear little girl's voice appeared in her mind.
"Eh? Is this the human that Mommy entrusted to Yuyu to help her broaden her horizons?"
"Eh!?"
Han Yun was surprised by the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind, but he saw the voice continue.
"It looks similar to the humanoid form of mommy! But not as pretty as mommy!"
The voice appeared in her mind again, and Hanyun also saw the little goldfish in the water tank suddenly spit out a bubble, drilled into the bubble, and floated in front of her eyes.
"Well, hello, I'm Yu Yu, mommy's little baby, and you? What's your name?"
"Looking at the little goldfish that suddenly appeared in front of him, Han Yun had a dazed look on his face, and then he gave a subconscious reply.
"My name is Han Yun...female, in my twenties..."
"Ah! That's not right."
Han Yun then realized that the voice in his mind was made by the little goldfish in front of him.
“You, you you! It was you who just spoke in my mind!!”
Han Yun stuttered! She couldn't accept it for a moment. Although she knew that Kato Hui was the so-called Dragon God, because the other party always appeared in front of her in human form, no matter how much Han Yun thought that the other party was magical, she still regarded the other party as a human being, just a very powerful human who could cover the sky with one hand.
But what appeared in front of her was a fish! How could she not be surprised when a fish spoke in front of her?
"Is this what the books say, ignorant, stupid, dumb... country bumpkin? Yuyu is talking to you right in front of you, why are you still asking Yuyu such a stupid question!"
"Aww!"
This is really heartbreaking! I was just very shocked, so I couldn't help but ask back! Who would have thought that I would be looked down upon by a little goldfish!
Han Yun pursed her lips, then looked at the little goldfish's innocent yet harmless eyes looking at her, and felt more and more depressed.
However, the little goldfish in front of me called her mommy, and it was her sister who brought it out.
Could it be that……
