Chapter 534 Preparation (Fourth update, please subscribe)

A witch academy was newly built next to Huodu Square three years ago, just in front of the Tapir Temple. The courtyard is large, but the decoration inside is very simple.

The witch academy was built for Shao, and it is his office. The rows of houses in the courtyard are filled with people coming in and out, and it is very busy.

The room in the center is very spacious, and Shao works in this room, but the first person you see when you enter the room is not Shao, but Shao's assistants. There

are more than twenty people, each with a table piled with animal skin scrolls. Some assistants are writing and drawing, while others get up from time to time to deliver the animal skin scrolls in their hands to the table closest to the inner room.

Sitting in front of the table is Zhao. After he takes the animal skin scroll, he will ask the person who brought it what the content is, and after confirming the content, he will decide whether to stay or leave.

There was no need to send many animal skin scrolls into the inner room. Shao had too many things to do. There was no need to bother Shao if he could make the decision.

"Bang."

The door was pushed open, and a man walked in hurriedly. He went straight to a desk on the side and handed over the animal skin scroll.

Zhao looked over and frowned.

He recognized the man who came in hurriedly. He was the mayor of Qianzhen. He was currently organizing the new yellow millet experimental field in Qianzhen.

The assistant he went to see was also in charge of this area. It seemed that something happened in the experimental field of Qianzhen, otherwise he would not have rushed here in person and in such a hurry.

Although he had the answer in his mind, he did not rush to get up and go over.

Shao doesn't like people who panic when encountering things. He likes things to proceed in an orderly manner according to the planned route, so he just needs to sit here and wait quietly.

Sure enough, the mayor of Qianzhen said a few words to the assistant, and the assistant brought him to Zhao.

"The farmers gathered and did not accept Qianzhen as a test field."

The assistant said.

Zhao nodded and looked at the mayor of Qianzhen: "Have you made it clear about the terms and compensation?"

"It's clear. I went to say it myself, but because of what happened last year, everyone is still worried. Now the spring planting season has arrived, and we can't delay it any longer."

The mayor of Qianzhen said embarrassedly.

Zhao nodded, realizing that this matter was not the mayor of Qianzhen's fault.

The cause of the incident started with the promotion of the yellow millet seeds sent by the Tree Tribe. When the seeds came down last year, the Tree Tribe said that the results were gratifying, and the current yellow millet production was doubled.

Such good news naturally made Shao very happy, and he ordered the sowing without hesitation.

This was originally a good thing, but after the seeds were sown, two-thirds of them did not grow. The specific reason is unknown, but the impact is still great.

Fortunately, the seeds that grew did double, bringing the total amount of yellow millet to six layers of previous years, and the tribe did not have a big turmoil.

It’s just that those farmers who didn’t grow yellow millet are living a miserable life.

This year Shao doesn’t dare to play like last year. He will promote it in the same way, but he will only set up trial fields in small towns instead of carrying out comprehensive promotion.

"Wait a moment." Zhao

got up and walked to the door at the back, knocking gently on the door.

"Come in."

A clear voice sounded, it was Shao's.

Shao pushed the door open and walked in. Soon he opened the door again and invited the mayor of Qian Town to come in.

"Wu."

Everyone saluted.

Shao nodded without raising his head, his hand was still marking the animal skin scroll, and after he wrote a period on the animal skin scroll, he raised his head and looked at everyone.

"Mayor, tell me about the situation."

Shao had a strand of white hair on the corner of his temple, not much, but very eye-catching.

The mayor of Qian Town nodded quickly and began to narrate: "Ten days ago, after our Qian Town was confirmed, the townspeople began to oppose it, so I went door to door to say..."

Shao lowered his head while listening, and pulled a animal skin scroll on the table to read it.

He could do two things at the same time, and could correct government affairs while listening.

"I have explained the policy clearly, and also mentioned the compensation if something unexpected happens. They have also accepted it. But they have started to go back on their word again in the past two days. Today, they even made a scene in the town and refused to agree no matter what."

The mayor of Qianzhen frowned and said anxiously.

Shao nodded, and his hands were correcting the animal skin scroll. He raised his head slightly and glanced at the mayor of Qianzhen, and said, "Is there someone behind this?"

After asking, he lowered his head and looked at the animal skin scroll he was writing.

"I have investigated, and there is no one."

The mayor of Qianzhen said.

Shao nodded, and did not rush to reply. Instead, he thoroughly reviewed the animal skin scroll in his hand, and then raised his head to look at Zhao: "Tell me about the source of this matter."

After he finished speaking, he took out another animal skin scroll and began to read it. Shao

took a step forward and said, "Five days ago, rumors began to spread in the tribe that the modified yellow millet was poisonous. The scope of this incident has affected grain prices, grain warehouses, and test fields. The source of the rumor has not yet been found."

Shao nodded, without looking up, and said, "Chief, do you know the reason?"

"I see, there must be townspeople who heard this rumor and refused to plant the mutant yellow millet."

The mayor replied.

Shao looked up at the crowd after he had thoroughly reviewed the animal skin scroll.

"The source of the matter has been found. It's not someone deliberately spreading rumors. It's the people of the Tree Tribe who accidentally heard the discussion and spread the rumor. Soothe them and explain that the top leaders of the Fire Tribe are eating. You can come out and eat on the spot. Do you understand?"

Shao said while looking at the mayor of Qian Town.

"I understand."

The mayor of Qian Town quickly replied.

Shao nodded and let them go, but kept the photo.

"Witch, is there anything else?"

Zhao asked after bowing.

"The discussion between the God of Fire and the Tree Totem was spread by the people of the Tree Tribe. The God of Fire had no idea at the time, so he used a thick mist to speak it out, and that's how it was heard."

Shao explained.

Zhao nodded, knowing that it would definitely not be that simple for Shao to explain the reason to him, and continued to wait for Shao's instructions.

"But the shadow of the grain merchants can be seen in this matter. They are expanding the terror. I have asked the Chief Justice to intervene."

Shao paused and looked out the window behind him, where he could see the square and had a good view.

"Several grain merchants have been arrested and severely punished. You have your subordinates prepare and keep up with the propaganda. For those who are disregarding the interests of the alliance and raising prices, their ugly behavior should be criticized more in the alliance newspaper."

"Yes."

Zhao stood up and said.

Shao nodded, took out a cloth bag from under the table and handed it to Zhao: "Your daughter has given birth. This is a gift prepared by your master's wife for your wife. Please accept it."

Zhao immediately stepped forward to take it and said, "Thank you, teacher, thank you, master's wife."

Shao smiled and asked, "How many days off will you be given?" Zhao

immediately shook his head and said, "Now is a critical moment for change. Students will not leave their posts."

"Don't be so serious."

Shao waved his hands and said, "Now is the preparation stage, there is no critical moment. The decision to ban the knife was wrong, it has been verified. Tell the people below not to work hard on this matter anymore. You should also take a few days off. You should accompany your wife when she gives birth."

Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still listened to the teacher and said, "I will take a rest tomorrow and stand guard for the teacher for another day."

Shao nodded. He didn't care too much about these details, and said, "Let Yu take your position during the days you are away."

"Yes."

"It's nothing, you can go out."

Shao waved his hands, and Zhao turned to leave, but as soon as he pushed open the door, he immediately stood up straight, took a step back, and said loudly, "Hello, Marshal."

Shao also raised his head and saw him coming.

"Kai, how come you have time to come to my place?"

He said to Zhao who had not yet left, "Send a glass of water to the Marshal."

"About the rotation of guards."

A beard grew on Kai's mouth, and the whole person looked much calmer than before: "This time I want to move the Tu tribe, they are getting more greedy."

Shao glanced at Zhao who had not yet left, waved his hand to let him leave, and then looked at Kai and asked: "Why did you suddenly think of them?"

"They intercepted a caravan that was delivering food to the Ice Bear Tribe."

Kai said.

"Why didn't I know?"

Shao asked with a frown.

"The army got the news first and sent it directly to me, so I came over."

Kai said.

"Are there any casualties?"

Shao asked with concern.

"No, it's not in the military report."

He answered.

Shao let out a long sigh and said, "Let's suppress it for now. The Iron-Eating Tribe will be here soon. The Fire God attaches great importance to this matter. Before they settle down, we should suppress it if possible."

He nodded to show that he understood.

The Fire God had mentioned the Iron-Eating Tribe's arrival more than once or twice, but the Miao Tribe had never done anything to convince the Iron-Eating Tribe.

In the past two years, there was a time when the Iron-Eating Tribe agreed, but then changed its mind, which disappointed the Fire God.

Although disappointed, the Fire God was not dissatisfied at all, which made them notice the Fire God's special attention to this tribe, so Shao asked He to suppress this matter.

"The Iron-Eating Tribe will not change its mind this time, right?"

He asked Shao.

"Probably not. I heard that they are not far from Dragon City. But these guys are really slow. I don't know what the God of Fire likes about them."

Shao said with a wry smile.

This Iron-eating tribe rushes on the road as if it were playing. They stop to find a forest to eat and drink when they have nothing to do. The tribesmen in their tribe are okay, but their companion beast, the Iron-eating Beast, is said to be very willful.

This kind of temperament is not popular in the Fire Tribe Alliance. After Shao's three years of rectification, there are not many people in the alliance who dare to be willful.

He is different from the eighth generation witch.

Shao is strict in his work and serious in his life. He can't stand freedom and laxity. He can't accept the temperament of the Iron-eating tribe.

But fortunately, the God of Fire built a bamboo forest for them, saying that it was a private reserve for the Iron-eating tribe and didn't want him to get involved.

This is fine, just treat these guys as the pets of the God of Fire, it's better than having conflicts with them.

"Next year will be the five-year period, are you ready for the work of registering the people?"

He couldn't help asking.

The implementation of the policy of registering the people is very slow, even in the Fire City, only a small part of it is being tested, let alone outside.

But Shao has been making preparations for the past few years, and has considered all aspects, and he thinks there will be no big problems.

"No omissions have been found, so there shouldn't be any big problems. You must thoroughly adjust the army this year. Once the people are registered, there can't be any problems on your side."

Shao emphasized.

He nodded. He was sure that there would be no problem here, because all the totem spirits of the standing army were given by him.

This makes his relationship with the military very close.
