Chapter 337: Do You Want to Rebel?
After all, Wu Long didn't know the true situation between Su Nuan and Ling Cang, and he was very embarrassed now.
Ling Cang did not continue the topic, but simply asked: "How many people are you going to come down?"
Wu Long was startled. "How many people are coming down?"
Ling Cang frowned slightly. Is this guy a little stupid? Don't the people on his boat come down to live here?
Wu Long shook his head, showing off his intelligence. He said, "Don't worry about them. Lao Hei and I will go down to the boat and live there."
Ling Cang glanced at Lao Hei who was following him in the distance. He looked very fierce, but now his eyes were full of curiosity, and there was even a hint of cuteness in them.
He said, "If there are only two of us, then we should live in a better place. We have only built a few houses in the city, and we are now focusing on building the city wall."
Wu Long watched them transporting the stones on horse-drawn carts and asked, "Why don't you make a conveyor belt? It would be made of rolling logs, so the stones can be easily pushed on it."
Ling Cang smiled and said, "What we lack is not the time to transport the stone, but people."
Wu Long also noticed that the planned area here was very large, but there were very few people.
"A city this big needs at least 1,000 to 2,000 people to run it. You only have 200 to 300 people. Not enough."
"If the city walls are built, it will be like a ghost town inside. How unlucky is that?"
Ling Cang nodded, "I know, so I'm mobilizing the nearby villagers, but there aren't many houses available for living at the moment, so there's no rush."
Wu Long glanced sideways, "You guys really have a lot of free time. Don't you want to finish building it and move in as soon as possible?"
"I looked at the map. Across from you is the Rakshasa Country, right? That's where the savages live. They might attack us at any time."
Ling Cang wasn't the type to be frightened. He smiled faintly and said, "No rush."
Although he said he was not in a hurry, he was still anxious in his heart. He just hoped that Xiaotian, who was going to Beixue Country, could convince those people that anyone who settled here would be given a house in the future.
If there is no road on the ground, more people will be able to trample out a road.
There are no people in the city, but if more people spread the word outside, more people will come and the city will prosper sooner or later.
Ling Cang brought Wu Long to the homestead, where a wing room had been built, which was just right for them to live in.
Wu Long asked, "Why did you build this house room by room? Why didn't you build it all at once?"
Ling Cang pointed at the mud bricks on the ground and said, "There's not enough bricks."
Wu Long laughed and said, "What's the big deal? Just burn it into bricks. Bricks are not much worse than stones. If you don't know how to build a brick kiln, I can teach you."
Ling Cang knew that Wu Long had misunderstood him. He thought he wanted to build a house entirely of stone, so he thought of using bricks instead.
However, people who can build brick kilns are not simple people, so Ling Cang patiently explained: "The front city doesn't need to be too good, just a shiny surface will do."
"We still need our materials in the back city, and it won't be easy for you Xihai Guoxiang to attack us."
The first sentence is to tell him that good things should be used in important places, and the second sentence is to warn him that even if you know the secret of the city, don't even think about breaking in.
However, Wu Long didn't hear the threat in his words and shook his head, saying, "We in the West Sea Kingdom have no intention of developing in this direction... Hey? How do you know I'm from the West Sea Kingdom?"
Ling Cang heard it from Ling Yun, but he replied: "My wife said so."
Wu Long didn't think much about it, "Okay..."
Before he finished speaking, someone shouted, "Village chief, it will rain tomorrow."
Ling Cang looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to rain heavily tomorrow, so we'll be delayed for a while."
He responded: "Hurry up and cover it with bricks at night."
"Okay!"
Wu Long watched them interact without saying a word.
He turned his head to look at the fields again. Now the city wall only had the foundation laid, so it did not block the view.
He sighed and said, "What a wonderful rural life! If the world were stable, I would want to retire here."
Ling Cang smiled faintly: "You are still young, go out and explore for a few decades, and when you have had enough fun, you can bring your family back to settle down."
Wu Long sighed, "Ah... I hope I can be free by then."
Ling Cang knew that Wu Long, as a member of the royal family, could not settle in another country, so he said, "You go in and take a look. Tell me if you need anything."
Wu Long nodded, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
Ling Cang quite appreciates such straightforward people. At least it doesn't take too much thought to communicate with them.
At this moment, Su Nuan went back to sleep, and went out hunting when she woke up.
We start cooking hot pot in the evening. When there are many people, eating hot pot is convenient and lively.
Su Nuan sat between Mrs. Xue and the old lady, holding Tuan Tuan in her arms.
Su Hui and Cui Yi helped put the dishes into the pot.
The old lady looked at Wu Long and thought that this young man was very energetic. He had the nobility of a son of a wealthy family and the vigor of a young man from the city.
She asked, "Who is this?"
Su Nuan whispered the story of how she met Wu Long.
The old lady laughed and said, "No wonder they say great wisdom appears foolish, this child is just that."
For a moment, Su Nuan didn't know whether this was a compliment or a teasing.
Xue smiled and said, "I didn't expect that he could build a boat that can move without people rowing it. That's quite impressive."
Su Nuan nodded, "It's quite impressive."
But there are also disadvantages. Today's boilers seem to have insufficient bearing capacity. I saw with my own eyes that they couldn't even withstand a shovel of coal.
She didn't say these words, but only said happily: "Grandma, Mom, there are two boats moored by the river now. Give me his smaller one. In the future, we will have a fast boat too."
The old lady became interested. "Really? I've never been on a big ship before."
Xue also agreed, "Yes, I've taken a pleasure boat before, but it was so slow and boring."
As soon as Su Nuan heard this, she knew that they wanted to board the big ship. No matter how old people are, they always have a young soul.
"We can't go now. We haven't taken the things from the boat yet. Wait until Wu Long transfers the things to his boat. Then I'll take you to the beach."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately nodded and said in unison, "Okay, okay."
Tuan Tuan was unhappy, "What about me? Will you take me with you?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Bring it. How can we not bring it with us when our Tuantuan is so cute?"
Tuan Tuan then laughed happily, "Dudu, and Dudu are going too."
The fat rabbit stood up when he heard his name, with the meat in his mouth.
Su Nuan held her forehead. Shouldn't this weird rabbit be eating carrots? Now it can't live without meat.
She kicked Dudu in disgust and said, "You're so fat, be careful or I'll use you to make clothes."
Dudu immediately sucked the meat into his mouth, then hugged Tuantuan's legs with his paws and looked at her with tears in his eyes.
Tuan Tuan said, "Dudu, be good, or your sister-in-law will use you to make clothes. I won't stop you."
Dudu was stunned. This was his master? If he didn't protect him, was he going to rebel?
Tuan Tuan added, "Sister-in-law is your first master, and I am your second master. So if your first master wants to kill you, I, the second master, cannot stop her."
"But...if anyone wants to hurt you, I will definitely fight him to the death, even...not even Grandma and Mom."
Dudu's brain was a little stuck, and he didn't know whether he should be moved.
Wu Long came running over at some point and said in surprise, "Such a big rabbit, is it a spirit?"
