Chapter 578: Not Adapting to Anything
Although no major war broke out, the recent successive reports from the southern border also made Zhou Xu in a good mood.
As it stands now, he doesn't need to worry about things in the southern border for the time being, but he has other things to do recently.
After the winter, due to the weather, some departments in the old continent were relatively idle, right? Zhou Xu took this opportunity to introduce the currency and shops of their Great Zhou to the new continent and build a commercial street in the lizard people's territory.
Long before, he felt that it was a bit of a waste to use these ancient buildings in the Lizardmen's territory as their daily residences.
So he planned to vacate all these ancient buildings, clean them up a bit, and then convert them into shops.
Of course Zhou Xu would not forget the Lizardmen's housing problem during this period.
Aren’t there a lot of external facilities like fields and breeding grounds outside the Lizardmen’s territory?
As for the fields, after the plain farm is officially opened for cultivation, all the crops here can be directly transplanted there. There is no need to continue planting them here, which would waste space.
As for special facilities such as breeding grounds, Zhou Xu made some simple plans and then asked the people in the construction engineering department to clear out an entire circle of rainforest within the area.
While putting those necessary special facilities in place, an area was also set aside to build dormitories for the lizard people to live in.
If the entire area is planned reasonably, a large area of open space can be vacated after these facilities are built.
These vacant lots can be used for future development and construction. In the New World, the Lizardmen's tribe is the most important core area. It will definitely be developed into a city in the future, and Zhou Xu is already laying the foundation for future development.
Now we have the place, but what we lack is people.
Ordinary vendors are actually easy to find, but considering that this is the lizardmen's homeland, he still hopes that there can be some suitable lizardmen who can assist in this work, which will also make it easier for the lizardmen here to understand.
Moreover, it would be better for these lizardmen to understand the currency and business mechanisms of their Great Zhou.
There were such lizardmen. After all, after successfully recruiting the lizardmen, Zhou Xu transferred a number of lizardman craftsmen over to supplement the labor force within the Great Zhou.
The earliest batch should be the Green Lizard craftsmen who have now formed the polishing department.
From the recent work reports of various departments, Zhou Xu could easily see that the days in the Polishing Department had become increasingly leisurely recently.
Come to think of it, when the forging department started working overtime day and night in order to produce weapons as quickly as possible, the polishing department was not under much work pressure.
Now that the war in the southern border has stabilized, the forging department basically does not need to work overtime. According to the number of weapons forged normally every day, it is naturally easier for the polishing department to complete the polishing work.
Under this premise, the polishing department has more than 200 craftsmen but there is not so much work to do, which is indeed a bit redundant.
In response to this situation, Zhou Xu made a decision after a moment of hesitation.
"Pass my order to select one hundred eloquent green lizard craftsmen from the polishing department to assist in the development work here."
Zhou Xu gave the order, and the Black Moon Village immediately implemented it after receiving it.
The energy channel opened, and along with the changes in heaven and earth, the Green Lizard craftsmen who had returned to this world after a long absence, the first thing they did was to quickly take off their overly thick winter clothes!
It is winter in the Old World, and it is even colder on the grassland. They were really frozen on the way here, and they only relied on the thick winter clothes to survive.
After following the energy channel and arriving at the New World, even though they were mentally prepared, the obvious change in temperature still caught the returning Green Lizard craftsmen off guard.
In the end, I took off all my clothes except for a long-sleeved base layer, and only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
It was not until this time that they finally had the energy to observe the plain in front of them.
Compared to when they left, this place is really different.
Looking around, large tracts of fields have appeared.
The Green Lizard craftsmen who came from Black Moon Village also understood farming techniques and of course knew what was going on, but it still attracted their frequent glances.
After crossing the plains and the outer rainforest and enduring the initial climate changes, the green lizard craftsmen who returned to their hometown are feeling quite good now.
After all, the environment here is most suitable for them to survive.
Arriving at the Lizardmen's homeland, this group of returning green lizard craftsmen attracted a large number of onlookers from the Lizardmen.
It's not just because they came back from the Old World, but also because of their clothes. The lizard people living in the tropical rainforest usually dress very primitively, basically made of leather and some woven fabrics.
In their view, the clothes and pants worn by the green lizard craftsmen were no different from strange costumes.
During this process, when the lizardmen from the tribe saw familiar green lizard craftsmen, they came forward to talk to them.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and after a few words, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
"What are you wearing? Something weird?"
"What do you know? This sweater I'm wearing is made of wool. It's precious!"
Due to the heavy workload during the war and the bonuses and rewards, the wallets of this group of green lizard craftsmen are generally quite fat.
Although this woolen sweater was developed last year and has long been put on the market for sale, the price is not cheap and ordinary people may not be willing to buy it.
Of course, for lizards, this is probably a basic need for wintering.
The Green Lizard Craftsman had a proud look on his face when he said this, and then he boasted to them about his days in Black Moon Village and what he had seen and heard.
Most of the lizardmen here have lived in this tropical rainforest all their lives. Their knowledge of the outside world is at most the plain outside the rainforest. How could they have heard of these things? The green lizard craftsmen who returned from working in Black Moon Village stunned them with just a few words. Later, even a large number of lizardmen came to them every day to listen to their stories about Black Moon Village. They were all fascinated by what they heard.
Seeing the ignorant looks of their fellow tribesmen, these green lizard craftsmen felt quite proud of themselves.
But this story always has to come to an end. With free time, their attention naturally falls on the life in front of them.
For the green lizard craftsmen who were accustomed to life in Black Moon Village, the feeling at this moment was like suddenly returning to the village from the city.
They felt pretty good for the first two days, but after two more, they soon began to feel uneasy.
This directly led to the situation that when they occasionally told stories to their tribesmen, they were always thinking about when they could go back.
They found that apart from the climate, they really couldn't adapt to anything here.
Happy New Year everyone~ (End of this chapter)
