Once ashore, Yan Mo noticed a change.
First of all, there is a city gate. It is no longer a big empty hole. The gate is all made of thick wood, combined with wooden rivets and ropes. Although it is rough, it still looks strong.
There is also a suspension bridge, and it is currently erected. The suspension ropes are made of a mixture of various materials, and they are tightly tied one by one.
Seeing him looking at the suspension bridge, he hurriedly explained: "It wasn't that fast at first, but because of those dwarves, everyone came out in a hurry. We are about to dig off the dirt road to the west."
Yan Mo was noncommittal, and he would not comment on the sudden move. This is a matter of Yuanzhan. A city has two heads. If you want to go far, you must have a clear division of labor.
When the guards on the city wall and the soldiers at the city gate saw Yan Mo, they were all excited. They pounded the ground with wooden spears together, and clenched their right hands into fists and put them on their left chest.
To Yan Mo's great relief, the soldiers on the city wall carried bows, arrows and quiveres in addition to wooden spears in their hands.
Yan Mo returned the same etiquette to the soldiers. He had already made it clear that he didn't like to kneel down, and he didn't want to see the people of Nine Elements kneel down to anyone. This kind of etiquette for soldiers to greet each other became a common Etiquette became popular in Jiuyuan City.
But Yan Mo didn't expect that because of his personal preference, the people of Nine Elements would have a sense of national pride when they found out that other tribes and tribesmen knelt down at every turn—they didn't have to kneel to anyone The nine-member people! The priests of the ancestor gods gave them the power and strength not to kneel down to anyone! And they will always defend this dignity and power!
The soul of a nation is often condensed little by little in these little things.
Yan Mo didn't think it was so far away when he made it, but some of his decisions are indeed condensing the soul of a new nation, which probably he didn't think of at all.
Hearing the news, Wu Chen and Sa Yu rushed to the gate of the city. Seeing Yan Mo, Wu Chen raised his right fist and hit his left chest heavily, and said with reddish eyes: "Master." Then something Without saying a word, he walked to Yan Mo's left rear.
When Yan Mo saw Wu Chen, his expression naturally softened a lot, and he rubbed his head smoothly.
Sa Yu looked at Wu Chen with envy in his eyes.
He patted Wu Chen on the shoulder fiercely, regardless of his young age, during the time when Mo He and Zhan were not around, he helped him a lot.
Sa Yu also saluted, but he was not as natural as Wu Chen, and he was a little embarrassed when he saw the priest whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Have you done the homework assigned before I left?"
Yan Mo spoke with a gentle smile, and Sa Yu nodded vigorously. In order to catch up with Wu Chen, both he and Ye Xing desperately tried their best.
Seeing that Sa Yu has grown stronger, Yan Mo is quite satisfied. At least this child is not lazy in physical exercise. He also stretched out his hand and squeezed Sa Yu's shoulder, and praised: "Very good, put your body tonight. Show me your homework."
After all, he was still a child, and Sa Yu, who was praised, couldn't restrain his joy. He grinned his lips, revealing a mouthful of irregular white teeth. The priest also attached great importance to him!
"Where's Ye Xing?"
Sa Yu looked at Wu Chen, and Wu Chen replied: "Ye Xing has gone to the mermaid clan, and now he is in charge of exchanging food with the mermaid clan."
"Oh? You arranged it?"
Wu Chen said calmly: "We discussed together and found Mr. Meng. After Mr. Meng agreed, Ye Xing began to take charge of this matter."
Suddenly, he added a sentence: "Your students are all very good, these three are the best!"
Hearing the words, Yan Mo didn't praise or criticize, he just said to Wu Chen: "When Ye Xing comes back, you let him come to me."
"yes."
Walking into the city gate, the changes inside are even greater.
In just two months, many houses have been built in the originally designated residential area and workshop area, and near-completed sewer facilities can be seen along the roads in the city.
Another obvious change is that there is a small river in the city. This small river is built along the workshop area, which is the periphery of the future business district, and just separates the business district from the building such as the conference hall under construction in the city center.
There is currently no bridge on the small river, only a few simple long logs tied together and erected on the river as a temporary passage.
The Awu people and the dwarves walked up and down on the wooden bridge, everyone was in a hurry, and everyone seemed very busy.
Seeing these, Yan Mo felt inexplicably transmigrated from the primitive world to the civilized world, even though the clothes worn by the people in the city were still mainly furs and sacks.
sack? ! Yan Mo's eyes immediately became brighter, did the loom come out
Before Yan Mo asked Wu Chen or Meng this question, a sharp-eyed person saw Yan Mo and roared excitedly: "Lord Mo is back!"
This voice immediately alarmed the entire Jiuyuan City, and it spread to ten and ten to hundreds, and soon everyone knew about the priest's return.
When Yan Mo came back, the atmosphere in the whole Jiuyuan City became different.
Not to mention the Awu tribe who laughed like a flower when they saw him and ran over to salute and say hello, the dwarves who came and went seemed secretly relieved.
Yan Mo suppressed the question in his heart, raised his eyebrows and smiled, the attitude of these dwarves is very interesting, there is not much guilt, and a lot of peace of mind, don't they want the dwarves outside to stay
Awu people and dwarves rushed towards the gate of the city in large numbers, but were blocked by Hu Hu and the others, saying that Lord Priest and Lord Meng have something to say, so please don't disturb them.
Yan Mo also waved to them, telling them to do their own work.
Yan Mo's guards ran over quickly when they heard the news. With them, Yan Mo didn't have to worry about being surrounded by crowds. Fortunately, there were not many people in the city.
Under the clearing of the four guards, Hu Hu and others, Yan Mo was able to move again. The direction they went was the meeting hall. When Yuan Zhan left, it was almost built. The flanks are done.
The interior of the conference hall is very large, and it is no problem to accommodate one or two hundred people. Inside, a circle of wooden blocks is placed as a stool, and two chairs are placed at the top.
Meng told Yan Mo that since the meeting hall was built, everyone would gather here to talk if they had something to do.
Not long after Yan Mo entered the hall, the old clan Wu and others who got the news chased after him, and the dwarf Momo clan's Zu Wukadi, patriarch Lang Lang and elder Chacha also rushed over.
"Let them wait outside first."
"Yes." A guard was ordered to walk out of the hall to deliver a message.
"You guys go out first too." Yan Mo signaled Wu Chen, Sa Yu, Hu Hu and others to leave as well. He needs to get a rough idea from Meng's mouth first, and then learn the details from the responsible people. This comparison can also find many problems.
Knowing that the priest had a lot to ask Mr. Meng, several people all left the hall after saluting, but they didn't go far, just waiting outside the hall. As soon as these people went out, they were surrounded by people waiting outside.
Don't mention how lively the hall is outside, let's talk about the inside of the hall.
There are only two people in the huge hall, which is completely empty in the summer. The hall, which is completely made of stone, still maintains a bit of shade in summer. Suddenly, it seems that the hall is too cold, and he feels a little chill on his back.
Yan Mo went straight to the top chair and sat down, he was tired after walking for a long time.
Stand obediently below.
"That river was made by mermaids?" Although Yan Mo used interrogative sentences, he already knew what the answer was before asking.
Nodding fiercely, "Before Zhan Zhan left, I told me that if the mermaids want to dig rivers in the city, I will agree with them."
Yan Mo understands why Yuan Zhan gave this advice, and there is no need for Bai Gong to help build urban waterways. As for safety issues, it is not difficult for Yuan Zhan, who can control the soil, to disconnect the river.
And with these river channels, not to mention the Nine Elements residents themselves will be much more convenient, they risk letting the mermaids enter the city center, and at the same time can deter those dwarves.
"The speed is quite fast." Yan Mo looked at Meng pointedly.
He smiled fiercely, scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "There are a lot of dwarves here, and they don't want to leave when they come. Ramon came to me and asked to speed up the river. But those dwarves are good at building houses and digging sewers, but they are too good at it. It's too noisy to eat."
He added: "If it was just the first batch of dwarves, they would not be able to build so many houses in such a short period of time. The dwarves who came later also helped."
"You asked the later dwarves to also dig the sewers?" Yan Mo had a headache, he would be busy when the animal came back, and it would take a lot of work just to transform the underground sewer network.
"Yes." Meng didn't realize that he had done something wrong, and he still thought that he took advantage of letting the later dwarves work.
"Have the first dwarves lived in stone houses?"
"No." Meng finally sensed the unhappiness in Yan Mo's voice, and quickly tensed his face and said seriously: "Zhan said that I will only lend them to live in. After the first batch of houses are built, I will only give them two houses, and the rest will be given to them." Our own people. After our people chose a house to live in first, I lent the rest to those dwarves."
"Oh? And for whom are the houses those dwarves are building now?"
Meng's heart trembled, and he whispered: "Before Zhan left, he said that he should try to build as many as possible." Woohoo, help, the little priest's aura is getting more and more terrifying.
"It's true to build more, why are the two houses so far apart?"
"The dwarves said that they are not used to living with us, and the Awu people don't like them too much. I think it might be better for them to separate..." Meng Yue whispered.
"So who agreed to let them build houses facing south in the north? I remember that I clearly left the city planning map, requiring all houses except the commercial area to face the city center, and other houses must be built in a circular order from right to left. There must be a street between the two rows of houses, and the orientation must be opposite to each other. The houses in the north can only face east and west. "
Yan Mo sneered in his heart, did those dwarves think that his plan could be changed at will just because he was not around? Don't they like the ground, how to choose the direction of the rising sun? Sure enough, no one is a fool. If there is a better living environment, who is willing to settle for it? It's not really a subterranean creature.
"They said that our people all live in houses facing south, and they want it too, and everyone wants the same." Swallowing his saliva, sweat rolled on his forehead, and he felt hot again, "The east side is very important. , the East City Gate is close to Qingyuan Lake, so I will let our people choose the east side, and the houses on the east side are all facing south in a row according to your requirements, and those facing north are not built."
Yan Mo looked at him and suddenly smiled, "It's okay, the built house can still be demolished and rebuilt, anyway, it's just a house lent to guests."
Wipe off his sweat, sigh, let him manage a city, even if the number of people is small, it is too embarrassing for him, not to mention the coexistence of three races, and the human beings who are the masters are the fewest. Fortunately, Mo and Zhan finally returned one.
He wanted to ask about the original tribe, but he swallowed the words a few times. He was afraid, he was even wondering if Mo saw that he hadn't mentioned anything about the Yuanji tribe, and Zhan hadn't come back, could it be that the Yuanji tribe had...
I didn't dare to continue thinking, and I didn't dare to ask.
Yan Mo asked several questions in succession, including the loom and linen that he was more interested in.
To Yan Mo's surprise, the loom was not made by the Norma girl from the mermaid clan, but by Sa Yun, Sa Yu's mother who he temporarily appointed to be in charge of weaving.
In addition, the reason why those new dwarves who wanted to occupy the magpie's nest ran to Jiuyuan was similar to Yan Mo's expectation. They were also forced out of the forest by those little gray-green humanoid monsters, that is, the Chi clan, but I mentioned a little bit He said that Wu Chen had learned a little dwarf language, and from the conversations of some dwarves, there seemed to be a more powerful guy among those little monsters, and that powerful guy seemed to be driving those little monsters.
Yan Mo frowned deeply.
What is driving the chi clan? Is it related to what old Sama told him
Will they only be in the forest, or will they move into the grasslands
The point is, will they become enemies with Jiuyuan in the future
Regardless of whether he is an enemy or not, Yan Mo does not want to give up the large forest resources nearby. But if they don't want to give up those forest resources, the Jiuyuan people will inevitably run into the Chi tribe.
Huh, let's solve everything, Yan Mo closed his eyes and rubbed between his brows. Jiuyuan will definitely have troubles in the future, and the fruit of the witch luck in his stomach is an uncertain time bomb. If what old Sama said is right, God knows how many enemies they will have in the future!
After turning around twice suddenly, he finally couldn't help asking: "Mo, my elder brother Lie, Yuanji Tribe... how is it going now? How about Zhan? Why didn't you come back with you?"
