Chapter 423: Shortage of People



There is no need to use manpower to solve problems that can be solved by water power. If Qingshan City was not in the forest and not suitable for using wind power, he would have to build several large windmills.

After hearing what Meng Yuqing said, Xia stopped what he was doing and thought for a long time before he slowly said, "I really can't spare any manpower."

Meng Yuqing looked at Xia and asked, "Aren't there nearly three hundred people here?"

"Everything has been distributed. Some of the livestock have been dragged into the fields." Xia said expressionlessly, then revealed a shocking news, "Even the Baicang beast was caught by Yang and taken to the fields to dig."

Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan in disbelief. Xuan looked back at him and nodded, confirming Xia's statement. "Uncle Yang and I will go catch it together."

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Meng Yuqing spoke up, "Why don't we go borrow some more people? Besides Qingshan City, other tribes should be quite relaxed at this time."

Xia pondered for a moment and said, "I'll let Fei handle it when the time comes."

After the deal was made, Xia continued to work on what he had not finished before.

Xuan sent Meng Yuqing to Ronglin and left.

The people in the tribe are very busy now. Working with Meng Yuqing on the water mill a few days ago was considered a break.

Now that everything we need to do is done, Xuan is also going to join the tribe construction.

Meng Yuqing followed Rong Lin and worked hard while looking at the results of the land reclamation work done by the people in Qingshan City over the past period of time.

Among a group of orcs and beasts, he easily saw the snow-white and slightly fat Baicang beast.

It lowered its head and looked listless, but its feet never stopped moving. Its four paws were covered with mud, and its long snow-white fur was also covered with a lot of mud. The one working next to it was Yang.

From time to time, it raised its paws to take a look, then turned its head to look at the muddy part of its body, and then became even more listless.

However, it didn't dare to give up. Once it showed any sign of slacking off, it could hear Yang's threatening growl.

It was because it was too greedy. After eating two meat buns given by Qingshan City, it began to crave the delicious food. It was abducted here by the orc with black spots on a yellow background and the orc who was completely black.

But it especially liked the food given by the two orcs, which was much more delicious than the wild beasts it caught itself.

In order to continue eating delicious food in the future, it could only follow the orc obediently and do the same things as him.

Xuan and Yang understood a little about Baicang Beast's thoughts, but the others had no idea at all.

Even when the Baicang Beast was brought to the planting area by Xuan Heyang, those who came to work were in a panic for a while.

They were relieved only after they discovered that Yang had been keeping a close eye on this powerful beast, and that the beast had been working quietly and seriously without showing any ferocity.

At the same time, they also secretly sighed in their hearts at the strength of Qingshan City. Even such a powerful beast could only do whatever they wanted in their hands.

Just when even the Baicang Beast was so busy that it was gasping for breath, Xia finally revealed his intention to need people to work in front of those tribes again.

Many tribes with sufficient numbers of people sent people back to call for more people. Gradually, more than a hundred people joined.

It is definitely impossible for the new members to follow Meng Yuqing to work on the construction of Qingshan City. He can only wait for these people to master some non-technical physical work outside the city, and then free up the manpower of Qingshan City to work with him.

As a result, after waiting for several days, no one was assigned.

He couldn't help but go to Xia to ask about the situation. He saw Xia's eyes were slightly dark and said, "As soon as the people arrived, they were all snatched up by the heads of various tasks."

"What about our people? Have any of them been replaced?" Meng Yuqing continued to ask.

"No, we really can't spare any manpower. The number of patrol teams and hunting teams can't be reduced any further, otherwise there will be safety issues. These one hundred people are distributed among various working groups, and the number of people added to each group is less than ten. They also ask for people in front of me every day." Xia sighed.

He paused, then continued, "And..."

"And what?" Meng Yuqing asked.

"The people Lan sent brought back a message. They found four suitable groups of small herbivorous beasts, and are now looking for me to send people to drive those small herbivorous beasts over here." Xia, who usually remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe, now had a look of devastation on his face.

"Gan...how many people did they ask for over there?" Meng Yuqing asked with difficulty.

There are four groups of small herbivorous beasts, each group has 300 small beasts, which means there are about 1,200 small beasts.

When Lan went out, he took away almost half of the existing animal-taming grass in the tribe.

Although there are meat fruits and rice, the staple food of the orcs is still meat, and the breeding area must not be relaxed.

Especially since Lan found so many suitable beasts at once this time, if he gave up this opportunity, he didn’t know whether he could meet them next time.

"He wants fifty orcs." Xia's voice was also a little dry.

Seeing Meng Yuqing's silence, Xia continued, "I've already stopped all the work at the ceramic kiln and the glass factory, and barely managed to get thirty people out."

The ceramic kiln is mainly managed by the disabled orcs. Now they are so busy that even the disabled orcs are not spared. It is conceivable how much Qingshan City is in need of workers now.

"There are more than thirty people at the ceramic kiln and glass factory." Meng Yuqing was still struggling desperately.

"The others... were also robbed..." Xia said slowly.
