Chapter 563 Whose orders are effective?
In the next few days, Zhou Xu basically stayed in the temple and worked on the follow-up planning plans.
In order to make it more convenient for himself to work, he had someone bring a desk and placed it in front of the main seat. At this moment, he was writing furiously with a feather pen in his hand.
Although this round of inspection took a lot of time and energy, his thoughts did become clearer.
This time, he will undoubtedly make some major changes to several lizardman settlements within the rainforest area!
Including the core tribal area where the temple is located, there are a total of eight lizardman settlements in this rainforest area.
While accommodating more Lizardmen, the eight settlements in various branches also help the Lizardmen collect the surrounding natural resources, thereby reducing their living pressure.
In addition, also for the sake of survival, there is no doubt that a large area of land has been reclaimed near each residence, and a large number of fruits and vegetables have been planted, among which various tropical fruits account for the vast majority.
Compared to obtaining meat, it is easier to obtain fruits in this tropical rainforest, so fruits can be said to be a very important part of the daily diet of lizard people.
Most of these fruits are high in sugar and very sweet. There is one that looks like a pineapple, but when you peel it open, the flesh inside is extremely similar to a banana. Even the texture and taste are similar. After eating it, you will feel full.
According to Bo Levin, this fruit is easy to grow and has a high yield, and is considered one of the staple foods here.
Zhou Xu’s current idea for these fields is to move them.
Without planning to flatten the rainforest environment on a large scale, it is a pity that the limited space inside is occupied by these haphazardly cultivated fields.
What's more important is that the locations of these fields were definitely not carefully considered when they were selected. In Zhou Xu's view, they have now become a complete obstacle to his subsequent planning and development.
Isn't he going to build a big farm out there on the plain? Just move over there.
Compared with the rainforest area, due to changes in the terrain and environment, the humidity and temperature in the plain area may not be that high, but it is not cold and dry either. With similar environments, there should not be any major problems with planting.
Of course, Zhou Xu would not issue relevant orders immediately. All of the above were based on his analysis and reasoning.
What if he can't grow crops? If the fields in the rainforest area are flattened by him, and the plain farms can't grow crops, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Therefore, he issued an order first, asking Zhao Geng, who was in the plain area at the moment, to transplant these fruits and vegetables and plant them first.
Anyway, the road is not far. As long as the giant lizards are sent to provide transportation, the round trip will only take a short time.
In addition, although this rainforest area covers a vast area, in Zhou Xu's opinion, these eight settlements are still too many.
He knew that the Lizardmen did this to better obtain surrounding resources, but doing so would also lead to the dispersion of labor.
"Well, four should be enough, right?"
While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu used a feather pen to roughly circle four places on the animal skin map provided by Bo Levin.
Two of the locations have ready-made residential areas. Once they are decided, he only needs to send a construction team to rebuild them.
And the other two...
Since he planned to cut half of the eight existing settlements of the Lizardmen, in order to ensure that each settlement could evenly cover the area within the tropical rainforest, the positions of two settlements needed to be adjusted.
"Repair the road. There must be road repairs inside!"
"Although the complex rainforest environment can provide some obstacles for the attackers during battles, it will also hinder our own transportation and development efficiency during normal times, which is not cost-effective."
The best example is undoubtedly the mountain soldiers of their Great Zhou.
Although the rainforest hindered their attack at first, they quickly trained mountain troops to continue the offensive.
From this point it is not difficult to see that although the rainforest environment can bring advantages to the defender, the advantage is definitely not that great.
At least from Zhou Xu's point of view, it is not worth it for him to sacrifice his daily transportation and development efficiency in exchange for this advantage that may come in handy at some point in the future.
It is more practical to improve development efficiency. As long as you develop strong enough, you don't need to be afraid of unnecessary invaders.
At that time, we will destroy them before they even step into our borders! Why do we need to take advantage of the environment? Of course, building roads is easy to say, but it goes without saying how difficult it is to implement.
The difficulty is not only that a large amount of manpower and material resources are required during the specific construction process, but also that it takes a lot of time.
In fact, it takes a lot of effort just to completely determine the route.
This is not something you can accomplish by simply drawing two lines on a map; before construction of each section of road begins, careful on-site inspections must be carried out.
If there are any resources or other problems on the road, you have to take a detour. It is definitely not something that can be solved by just riding a velociraptor for a while.
At this moment, Zhou Xu first wrote down the general plan, and the specific implementation details and arrangements would be looked at later.
At the same time, at the Lizardmen's southern garrison camp, after half a year, he finally returned here again. Thinking of this, Soros felt a little complicated.
During this time, the lizardmen soldiers stationed in the camp looked at him with some hostility.
Soros was not surprised at all.
He had felt it as early as when Bolevin brought Tash and others back to the tribe to receive the title.
At the same time, he could basically guess what happened.
Judging from the previous performance of that old bastard Bolevin, it is impossible to say anything good about him. It is very likely that all the blame has been put on his head, and he has been portrayed as a traitor.
But Soros doesn't care. As long as the king is there, all problems can be solved.
The simplest logic is, "If I were really a traitor, how could the king entrust me with such an important task?"
With this set of rhetoric, Soros had basically convinced the group of Lizardmen officers led by Tash along the way.
Don't underestimate them. They can be said to be the backbone of their current Lizardman troops.
Before, Zhou Xu specially called this group of lizardmen over to personally reward them because he took this into consideration and wanted to make these lizardmen completely submit to him.
In this way, since we have successfully convinced them, the attitudes of other soldiers are just a small problem.
Not to mention that Soros is also one of the lizardman leaders who has been stationed on the border all year round, and he has a lot of soldiers under his command.
Even though Bolevin had relied on his status as the "high priest" to deceive his subordinates before, now that he was back, as long as Tash and the others cooperated with him, it would only take a moment for him to rebuild their trust in him.
At the same time, the most important thing is that the reason why Bo Lewen had a transcendent status in the past was because the "high priest" was the spokesperson of God, conveying God's orders to them.
Now that God has come and started giving orders personally, is there any need to ask whose orders will be effective?
