Xu Ya was holding a strange little girl and humming a nursery rhyme to coax her to sleep.

For a moment she was filled with confusion. They had only been apart for a few hours, so how come there was one more person in the house?

"Shh, keep your voice down. She's sleeping."

Xu Ya put his index finger on his lips and whispered.

"Dad, don't go. I will be good~"

However, Su was startled by this small movement and then hugged his neck tightly like a frightened cat, rubbing his chest constantly to feel the warmth, sobbing and shedding tears, fearing that this was just an illusion.

The little girl had just experienced a catastrophic bombing and had some psychological trauma.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. I won't leave Sue, go to the bedroom and have a good rest first."

Xu Ya patted Su's little shoulder and consoled him, and Su nodded with relief, not looking at all like an obedient person who would trouble the adults.

So Xu Ya took her to the bedroom and put her on the bed so that Su could sleep peacefully. It must be said that this little Lolita was the one with the worst experience he had ever seen, so miserable that people couldn't get angry when they saw her doing any extreme behavior.

After a while, the person fell asleep. Xu Ya then looked at Ni Yan who was standing next to her and stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms. She felt relieved immediately after she was a little confused by the appearance of the newcomer.

"Welcome back, my wife. Are you jealous? I brought this girl back from another world. She's a poor creature, so we'll adopt her for the time being."

"I'm not jealous, Su Mo? I understand. I will take good care of her... Is she one of your people?"

Xu Ya briefly explained Su's experience, and Mudstone, who also grew up in hardship, immediately empathized with the child and accepted him. However...looking at the little Lolita in simple clothes, no Terran characteristics could be found.

Are they from the same tribe as Xu Ya?

As for how the girl came, she didn't ask much.

Xu Ya has many secrets that make people a little concerned, but what can be asked and what cannot be asked is the principle of being a human being and the principle of being a mercenary. Being overly curious will not last long in this business.

Mudstone knows her limits and how to give her man enough private space.

"Well, kind of, right? I brought this back from another world. I'll take you to see the scenery of the new world when the time comes." Xu Ya thought about it. Humans in parallel universes are also considered humans. The unknowns of the new world made him more concerned. "There's one more thing. This child also has abilities similar to Originium skills. It seems to be a telepathic ability. I can ask her to help pass messages. It's better to find something to do so that she can forget the past as soon as possible."

He has granted Su the authority to the box world, with which he can communicate smoothly regardless of language barriers.

"I see. By the way, my partners have already chosen someone for the next meeting with Leitania. The singles there want to go back and help you, and also find a partner. What do you think?"

After settling Su, Mudstone talked about Terra again. She was the representative of the Sarkaz and had the obligation to tell Xu Ya about their needs on behalf of her compatriots.

"That's fine, but you can't force others. Haha." Xu Ya could understand that when one is well fed, he would think about sex, so he agreed. "If I remember correctly, there are three women in your team. That means there are only six people left in the base camp. Can you hold on?"

"We have already discussed it. The companions who stayed behind said that it is reasonable for them to work a little harder."

"If you have no objection, then I have no objection either. By the way, how is the supply reserve?"

Xu Ya was still very lenient towards the first batch of veteran immigrants. After all, you will never find such a capable, fighting and obedient super labor force again.

"They have stored about 2 tons of grain as emergency food, and the rest are all used to make grain wine and cooking oil, which is about 20 tons. It will take more than ten days for the fruit wine to ferment and mature; more than one ton of tobacco and tea leaves have been harvested. Others like the tea leaves and water, which should have market demand. We have recently transplanted all the shrubs to the extra open space to try to cultivate them."

Mudstone took out the notebook he carried with him and looked at it carefully, reporting the yield. The earliest cultivated grain industry was the most detailed, followed by the key cultivation of fruit wine and the highly acclaimed tobacco and tea. Especially the latter, almost all the leaves are active ingredients, cultivation is simple, harvest is faster, and the stimulating effect of those alkaloids is also effective for Terrans, so this special alien plant has great economic value.

As for the others, I don't have the energy to study them for now. Agriculture and mining have always been labor-intensive jobs, and the Sarkaz currently manage a few hundred acres of land, which has reached its limit.

Mineral smelting, ceramic processing, dye production and other less important things can only be put aside for a while.

.......

Finally, when the channel had cooled down, they returned to the land of Terra from where they had left a few days ago. This time, they brought larger trucks and pack animals. In addition to wine and oil that had stood the test of the market, the much-needed metal ingots, tobacco and tea leaves were also the new flagship products of this trade.

"Let's go check out the nearby villages."

This time, Xu Ya was not in a hurry to move to the city to dump the virus. Instead, he planned to visit every village in Shi Tong's territory, especially the villages with infected people that only existed in rumors.

In the city, the Originium mining industry is constantly producing infected people. Many Originium patients find it difficult to accept social discrimination and choose to run to remote places to keep each other warm, and then establish unknown settlements.

However, although it is called a settlement, it is actually more like a mobile refugee camp.

The places suitable for settlement on the Terra continent have long been filled with people. The infected and the poor can only wander in the dangerous wilderness, working as mercenary guides or other unknown gray industries to make a living.

Perhaps the most famous and violent of these is the Rusted Hammer, active in the wastelands along the western border of Ursus and within Casimir.

Chapter 19 A Trip to the Leitanian Countryside

The endless mountains are dotted with river valleys and plains. This is where tribal civilization transformed into early urban civilization. The earliest towns still took root here and did not decline due to the emergence of mobile cities. Rather, with the rapid expansion of the population in recent years, more and more villages are dotted on the once desolate but still fertile land.

This time, Xu Ya's caravan chose to take the route of surrounding the city from the countryside. Having unpleasant memories of the last mobile city journey, they chose to specialize in settlement trade at that time.

Avoiding the moving city, we walked along the mountain valley road and arrived at a prosperous small town settlement.

In this remote land far away from the core of the Elector's rule, the mayor warmly received the caravan members in person, and the friendly townspeople accepted him and the accompanying Sarkaz, and actively invited Xu Ya to participate in the art meeting they held.

Out of curiosity and courtesy, he also attended the Leitanian art meeting.

A variety of performing arts are gathered in that wide square - resident artists perform on stage every week or even every day, ranging from musical performances, literary recitations, painting exhibitions to emerging operas. The melodious music shows the innate artistic talent of the Leitanians.

Among various artistic carriers, the name and image that appears most frequently can be said to be that man - long black hair, pale skin, mysterious eyes, and a decorative atmosphere in red and black tones.

Everyone incorporated their praise and worship of the Witch King Herhomzoren into their art.

Genius, wise, Herhunzollon carries all the imaginations of people in this country about talent. In addition, his kindness and preferential treatment to the common people make the originally ignored large class of people feel good about him.

"Lehtania is such an unforgettable country, I love it here very much."

Residents discussing music, philosophy, and Originium craftsmanship could be seen everywhere, and open-air music performances were seen, and the whole town seemed to be immersed in joy and happiness all the time. The abundant passion was transmitted to his heart and resonated strongly, making it easy to become addicted.

This made a great impression on Xu Ya, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

It is hard to find a soulmate like Boya and Zhong Ziqi, but this is not a problem in Leitania. With the blessing of Originium skills, music can really be materialized in people's hearts! Everyone can be a soulmate!

"Haha, thank you for your praise. But if you want to praise someone, please praise our beloved King Herhunzollon. This is all he has brought!"

Hearing Xu Ya's praise of Leitania, the mayor raised his chest proudly, but the admiration on his face was dedicated to another person rather than the Elector who directly ruled them.

"Oh, His Majesty Herhunzollon? Can you tell me why this Majesty deserves praise instead of the Elector of Shi Tongling?"

He didn't expect that in such a remote place, he could hear of Herhunzollon's reputation.

It's really incredible. If this happened in ancient times, if you asked ordinary people in a small town, they probably wouldn't know who the emperor above them was. This was the norm.

"No, no, no, although the Elector is worthy of respect, His Majesty Herhunzollon is the only genius who is rare in a hundred or even a thousand years. He is a gift from God to the people of Leitania like us!"

Xu Ya's deliberate guidance made the mayor unable to help but open up the chatterbox, describing Helhunzolun's wise achievements and talents in detail. It was quite like a religious fanatic haul of "Sir, please take up a little of your time and allow me to introduce you to our Heavenly Father and Savior..."

In the eyes of this Caprini man, the beauty of Lethania was all due to the enlightened rule of Hercules. After all, when he was elected to the throne, he was facing internal and external troubles.

A few years ago, Leitania had constant friction with its neighbors, and had even initiated military conflicts several times. The separatist trend in the country was rampant since ancient times. Before he took the throne, Syracuse, which was originally very different from the other nine regions, had a massive independence movement. This trend then spread to the other nine regions. For a time, rebellions broke out in Leitania, and the electors took this opportunity to strengthen their own strength.

There is no idea of ​​suppressing the independence movement, but there is a lot of courage to demand more resources and political support by suppressing the rebellion.

And it was during this critical period that the legendary Herkunzoron ascended the throne of the empire. His rule brought a long variation to the music of Leithania. After ascending the throne, he immediately demonstrated his amazing talent and foresight as a wise ruler, and he adopted a series of thundering measures.

First, he quickly cut off Syracuse, which had long been alienated from the empire, and recognized its independence. He reconciled with other countries and restored normal diplomatic relations. After quickly resolving external conflicts, he turned around and established a coalition on the pretext of suppressing domestic rebellion. He demonstrated his skillful diplomacy and political skills and cleverly brought the electors' army and part of their power back to the imperial court. He used these powers to concentrate on major tasks and resolve the domestic separatist crisis.

This swift action and successful results gave the Leitanians hope and brought them together again, and the separatist movement was suppressed.

Afterwards, Herhunzollom continued to carry out drastic reforms. On the premise of ensuring cultural consistency across the entire Leithania, he vigorously promoted education and economic industries to encourage the development of people's livelihood, and boldly introduced investment and technology from various countries. The entire Leithania flourished under his leadership.

It can be said that everyone benefits from this change, and they live in an ideal Leitania where everyone is full of hope!

Of course, this was the mayor's exaggeration, at least based on his level of status.

After reading the script, Xu Ya knew very well that this so-called ideal Leitania was just a dream that lasted for ten years. Once Helhunzoren went crazy and became the Witch King, it immediately turned into hell.

What's more, it is impossible for every reform to not touch the pie of any class.

The popularization of education has promoted class mobility and enhanced social vitality, while undoubtedly breaking the intellectual privileges monopolized by the aristocracy, which has seriously infringed on the interests of the aristocracy.

Not to mention that the electors had only granted the emperor power during the war and had not taken it back until now. For political animals, the reduction of power was undoubtedly more painful than killing their parents. Many conservative nobles were dissatisfied with Herhunzollon. It was only because of a powerful monarch who was in his prime, and the fact that the cake of Leithania was getting bigger and bigger, and everyone had a share, that the loss was not too heavy, that these people hid and did not talk nonsense.

After all, among the people, Herhunzollon's reputation was still at its highest at this time.

Xu Ya looked at the mayor's expression. If anyone opened his mouth and said something bad about Helhunzollen, he would probably have a large group of Helhunzollen fans rushing over to beat him up.

What a pity, Herhunzollon.

Witnessing the joyous scene, Xu Yahui recalled the personal experience of the Witch King in the setting collection.

The genius monarch accidentally learned about the existence of the Warp Wasteland during a casual chat with his lich advisor Fremont, and became obsessed with conquering and studying the wasteland.

In the process of conquering the wilderness, Herhunzollon used the history of Leithania as the framework and human will as the bricks and stones to build the place of order in the wilderness - Pavilion.

In Pavillon, Herhunzoron saw through the true nature of Originium and the truth of history: Originium was created by the previous civilization to deal with disasters, and the previous civilization was destroyed by a huge disaster, and the same disaster will destroy Terra. The Witch King was unwilling to get such a desperate result, so he began to invest a lot of national power in the research of the wasteland despite Fremont's dissuasion. In order to save Leithania and prepare for the possible disasters in the future, he had to rule the whole country with high pressure in order to prepare enough resources.

This incomprehensible behavior caused Letania, which had been reborn at the beginning of his rule, to fall into silence.

The story of Herhunzollern illustrates what it means to be half a step ahead is a genius, while to be one step ahead is a madman.

His behavior is a bit like that of a national leader who knows that the sun will soon experience a helium flash but does not know the exact time of the explosion. He can only prepare for survival at all times, and the high pressure brought about by ensuring the smooth progress of the preparation process makes the people suffer.

The lower-class mortals cannot see such a high level, and only think that the wise leader has become a tyrant.

Even if the news of helium flash was announced, people were unwilling to believe it was true, as this news was too far away.

So before the helium flash came, the people rebelled, and the leader died as a result.

So do we need to change this result?

It was too tragic that a genius was driven crazy because he was too talented and discovered many secrets. Xu Ya couldn't stand tragedy, and couldn't stand seeing a good person become like this because of such a thing.

If he knew about the existence of the Little Garden World and had a brand new way out without having to worry about being wiped out by disasters, he would probably be able to calm down a little.

But dealing with politicians is very troublesome. One day you might be sold out without even knowing it.

As the creator who controls the world, Xu Ya has no interest in being inferior to others.

If you want to have equal communication, you must be strong enough! So why not continue to develop while there are still a few years left, let the small garden world grow to a level that no country can underestimate, and then make plans.

While walking with the mayor, Xu Ya was thinking about more long-term and interesting ideas.

A few days later, with his efforts and spending some money, he got the mayor's consent to hold a small trade fair in the square.

Xu Ya referred to the business operations in his previous life and invited a highly skilled band to attract popularity. At the same time, he took out some of the caravan's flagship products, including suitable wines, pipes and tea made of tobacco and tea leaves, and bread made of cereal grass, and promoted them through free tastings.

“Are these things really free to use?”

As expected, there was a wonderful concert to enjoy and free items. Both Earthlings and Terrans could not resist the temptation to get a bargain and kept coming forward to ask questions.

"Yes, we are doing promotional activities for these three days. Limited free items are available! First come, first served!"

Xu Ya looked at the Leitanians, big and small, and endured the phantom pain of the sheep horns poking his face, with a professional smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, you're too close. If you need anything, you can get it from the booth over there. You can get it for free over there."

Seeing his man's embarrassment, Mudrock came out at the right time to maintain order and separate the Leitanians whose emotions were somewhat high due to the influence of the music.

At first, these residents were afraid of the unknown when faced with unfamiliar things, but there were always brave people who were willing to try new things and take the initiative to step forward and give it a try.

These products, which are widely praised among the Sarkaz, are naturally not bad among the people of Leitania, and have gained a good reputation with the free promotion.

During the three-day exhibition, the free goods were sold out.

More and more residents also paid for the goods they liked, and even local minor nobles such as the viscount and baron joined in.

It has to be said that under the management of this monarch, the border towns became prosperous and actually offered good prices.

After opening up the situation, Xu Ya continued to work hard. In the name of Gensokyo Company, he expressed his hope to establish a deeper cooperation with the local area, and those managers who experienced the special value of the specialties of the Little Garden World also readily agreed. The two sides signed a trade agreement to determine the resources needed by both parties for exchange, and negotiated for the next trade.

In addition, Xu Ya did not forget to set up an office in the local area to be responsible for the docking affairs between Gensokyo Company and the local area. In addition, in order to avoid being unable to take care of the base here at any time due to any incidents in the small garden world, he also gave the office a part of the funds to purchase local land, shops and even industries to maintain its own operations.

When it comes to recruiting local employees, he naturally gives priority to those infected.

Since Leitania's society is created by Originium craftsmanship, its attitude towards those infected with Ore Disease is more tolerant than that of the Core Circle countries, and settlements are more tolerant than mobile cities.

However, for the sake of ease of management, the infected people will be divided into separate local communities to live in.

Therefore, he easily found local infected managers for re-recruitment, and after inspecting the interviewees through various parties, he quickly recruited full personnel. Of course, in order to prevent the company's assets from being embezzled and corrupted by those with ulterior motives, Xu Ya also selected small nobles and industry professionals with upright character to help supervise and form a check and balance.

After completing the construction of the local office and before leaving, Xu Ya also began to recruit other "adventurers" who were willing to leave with them.
