Chapter 396: Space Spirit Racks His Brains
Su Nuan was dumbfounded. Hadn't she just been thinking about the issue of men and women in the North? How could someone get married so soon?
If someone was quick, they might be pregnant by now. But how would a group of pregnant women survive the locust plague?
Also, it seems that there are quite a few young couples in Xiangyang Village. Maybe one of them is already pregnant. Then the locusts and the baby will come together...
Su Nuan shuddered at the thought of this, and she had to think carefully about what to do.
Ling Cang had finished his thoughts at this moment and said, "I'll give it a try. Actually, there are already some people in the North."
Su Nuan knew about this. She just wanted those disabled soldiers to come as well. Firstly, it would expand the population. Secondly, even if these soldiers were disabled, they were braver and more experienced than ordinary people. They could teach the local people how to be qualified soldiers.
Seeing that Ling Cang was willing to recruit people, Su Nuan said happily, "Then expand the resettlement housing a bit. Oh, and build a few shops on the main street so we can sell some things."
Ling Cang nodded, "Okay."
Su Nuan looked towards the upper reaches of the river. The ramie there would be harvested in a few days.
"What's above that? Is there a country there?"
Ling Cang turned his head and looked over. "That's a hilly area over there, a no-man's land."
Su Nuan asked in confusion: "What three don't care?"
Ling Cang replied: "The government doesn't care, the officials don't care, and the people don't care."
Su Nuan had a bunch of question marks in her head. Who is not caring about whom?
Seeing Su Nuan's confused look, Ling Cang couldn't help but laugh and said, "That place is a true exile place. That's where all the capable and unruly people from the nearby countries go. There's a city there called Ghost Town."
Su Nuan swallowed, "Ghost town?"
That sounds scary.
Ling Cang continued to explain: "Some people who committed extremely heinous crimes had nowhere else to go, so they went to the ghost town."
Su Nuan already understood a little bit about what a ghost town meant, and for some reason, she was actually looking forward to going and seeing it.
Ling Cang saw what Su Nuan was thinking from her eyes and immediately warned her seriously, "Don't go."
Su Nuan, “…” So fierce.
Ling Cang regretted telling her about the ghost town very much, but then he thought that Su Nuan, a little girl, would not dare to go there.
He softened his tone and said, "Anyway, there are no laws or restrictions there. If you go there, you might get boiled to death."
Su Nuan covered her mouth. Is she really that arrogant? I really want to see it.
Seeing Su Nuan's eyes widen, Ling Cang thought she was frightened. "Alright, let's develop the Northland well. Once the city wall is built, there will be fewer people coveting us."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
If I have the chance in the future, I must visit the ghost town there. It’s a great place for adventure. After all, construction is too boring.
The world is so beautiful and novel, how can you not go and see it?
When Su Nuan came to her senses, the boat had already arrived. Going downstream and powered by steam, the boat was as fast as flying.
But there is no one to build the dock yet, so the ship cannot dock.
Su Nuan didn't want to take the boat, so she rode Feixue back to sleep.
As for the gold and silver, Li Fengxing will take care of it.
When it was daybreak, Su Nuan went to the manor behind the cliff again, wondering if those strange beans had grown.
When Su Nuan arrived at the place, she almost collapsed. The thorns were growing well and were very lush, but they were dependent plants after all, and they were almost all entangled on the tree trunks.
If you want them to continue to form a thorn wall, you must trim them regularly or have a wall to rely on.
The space spirit said, "Why don't you plant bamboo? Bamboo grows very fast."
Su Nuan shook her head, "No, it's better to build a wall."
She took out a long-handled sickle made of bone and built a wall. Although the gap was not wide enough for people to crawl in, it was too wide and people could clearly see inside from the outside, which was very unsatisfactory.
Su Nuan released the fifty people in the space and asked them to help with the repairs.
Hai Lan also came out to give orders, and the outer wall of the manor was repaired in the morning. The excess economic bars were piled outside the wall.
Su Nuan sat next to the bean sprouts, chewing a bun, and said with disdain, "What kind of beans are these? They drank a lot of river water, but I haven't seen them grow a third leaf."
Kongkong smiled and said, "Who cares? I just planted it here for fun. I can let it grow as it pleases. I'll just cut it down if it gets in the way when I renovate the manor later."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yeah, that makes sense."
The space spirit asked: "What should we do next?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about the border town of Beixue Nation for now. The civil unrest there will sooner or later develop into a riot."
"Someone will come to us when the time comes. As for the fields, we should look after the sweet potatoes."
"Normally, when planting sweet potatoes, we turn over the seedlings to reduce the number of extra roots that penetrate the ground and rob the main root of nutrients. But ours is different. Now we need to plant more roots. If we sprinkle river water on them, we can grow more sweet potatoes."
The space spirit said: "Your river water is a cheating tool. What if the people in the future try to learn how to grow sweet potatoes from you?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "When we pick the sweet potatoes, they will see that they are very small. I will give them the big ones to compare with."
"They will definitely like the big sweet potatoes and will plant them the normal way."
The space spirit nodded, "Oh, right, so you're going to buy all these sweet potatoes?"
Su Nuan nodded. "Yes, steam the small sweet potatoes until they are about 60% to 70% cooked, then dry them into sweet potato chips. They are sweet and fragrant."
Space Spirit smacked his lips, feeling that the biggest advantage of following Su Nuan was that he could eat a lot of delicious food.
Upland wheat and upland rice have to wait until autumn to be harvested, but sweet potatoes, potatoes and peanuts can be harvested early.
Su Nuan finished the bun in two or three bites and counted on her fingers, "One... two... three... wow... it's over."
The space spirit asked nervously, "What's finished?"
Su Nuan slapped her forehead. "The drought started in May. The fields are too far from the river. We need to find a way to quickly transport water to irrigate the fields."
The space spirit asked, "Why are you so anxious about the drought in May? It's such a big river, it's impossible for it to dry up completely, right?"
"If it really doesn't work, don't we have wells in the city? Anyway, if there's drought elsewhere, there won't be drought here either. What are you afraid of?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "It's not just the drought. It's going to be very, very hot. You know, people here are used to the cold. If they were suddenly exposed to the high temperatures, would they die?"
Also, I couldn't find any skull flower either. High temperatures, poison... it's just miserable."
The Space Spirit glanced sideways and said, "But there's so much water in the river, just take a dip."
It was a little worried that Su Nuan would open the freezer. Although it could provide cooling, it would consume a lot of energy. It was hard to open up half of the city and then end up back to square one.
For the first time, the Space Spirit racked her brains to think of a problem. After a moment, she clapped her hands and said, "I've got an idea. There's something that can be used."
