Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 52
The severe drought continued.

The well-developed water conservancy system and sufficient river water in Stan Town, as well as the careful planning of Los, ensure that the 60 mu of farmland in Stan Town can obtain enough food.

The guards and knights who went out everywhere strangled a large number of orcs. The well-trained and well-equipped guards patrolled and guarded the safety of the farmland in the villages and towns, creating a relatively peaceful development environment for Stan Town.

The gains from strangling the orcs and the interoperability of the Overwatch Alliance have allowed the town of Stan to obtain various resources to meet the growing needs of the citizens.

This small village, which was once neglected by no one and could be destroyed at any time, is thriving beyond everyone's expectations under the constant drought and surrounded by orcs in the western frontier.

In the 7th year that Rose came to this world, that is, the [-]th year of this rare drought in a millennium, after the end of the spring plowing, the spring rain that the people were looking forward to finally began to fall.

Be it orcs, humans, or beasts, they all rushed into the rain, shouting, roaring, crying, and hugging.

Nine years, exactly nine years.

How many people fell under the sharp claws of the orcs in the past nine years and became food in the belly of the orcs.

In the past nine years, how many people thought that the orcs could not be invaded, and they left their homes and became refugees, wandering outside like lonely ghosts.

In the past nine years, how many people have starved to death in the corners of their homes and on the road because they could not get a bite of food.

In order to protect their homeland in the past nine years, how many soldiers had to pick up weapons and charge towards the crazy orcs, and then fell on the way of the charge.

This long-lost spring rain seems to have accumulated all the rainwater in the nine-year drought, and this time it will be released all at once. It has not stopped day and night, and it has not stopped for a month.

The dry land could not absorb the rainwater, which gradually developed into a flood. Ross had to organize village officials to command refugees and slaves, dredge channels, reinforce embankments, and dig drainage channels to ensure that the town and farmland would be kept under the continuous spring rain. impact and losses are minimized.

However, everyone who worked hard in the rain did not have the slightest complaint, and their faces were full of smiles.

In the eyes of these displaced people due to continuous severe drought, rain represents a good harvest and hope.

After a month of continuous spring rain, a huge piece of good news finally came: the north bank of the Kasilang River also had heavier rain, and it continued.

This means that the nine-year drought is really over.

The only hope now is that the heavy rain will end and the weather will return to normal. Otherwise, the people will have no way out after the severe drought and flood.

Having rainwater means that vegetation can grow luxuriantly, that means that herbivores can reproduce in large numbers, and that means that wild beasts and orcs have enough food.

Then the orcs would retreat. After all, no orcs were willing to take the huge risk of dying in the Kaslang River to invade human villages and towns if they were not forced to do so.

Ten days later, the spring rain stopped, and the warm spring sun shone on the earth again. The young shoots of the crops in the farmland poked out their heads one after another, and the big forest in the distance was lush and lush.

A large group of leaders led refugees and slaves to loosen the farmland, repair track, canals and roads.

Ross once again convened all the officials of one town and six villages to hold a meeting in the government building.

With three years of development, the six villages have established a complete system of officials, including village chiefs, agricultural officials, militia captains, political officials, tax officials, breeding officials, and so on.

Looking at the five NO.60 people in the hall, Ross nodded silently. Although it is still full of various irregularities and the quality of the personnel is low, the framework has finally been set up, and everything will be fine in the future with steady development. of.

Thinking of this, Ross stood up with a smile. After seeing this, everyone silently stopped talking and looked at this young and admirable mayor.

"Your Majesty Viscount has sent reliable news that the ten-year drought is over! The next few years will be smooth." Rose said loudly, waving his arms, "Our town of Stan will enter a period of real development!"

"Oh!"

"Great!"

"It's finally over, it's finally over~~"

"Thanks to the great goddess of agriculture!"

~~~
Hearing the accurate news, everyone present was elated. Some cheered loudly, some high-fived and hugged their friends in celebration, some wept with joy, and many believers of the gods even knelt down and began to thank the gods they believed in for their blessings.

Ross smiled and looked at the children-like crowd in front of him, without any intention of stopping them.

After all, the severe drought that lasted for ten years, more and more orcs and monsters outside the village, and the constant influx of refugees with panic news put tremendous pressure on these people.

In addition, although the town of Stan has spent a lot of effort in building water conservancy in the past two years, the continuous drought has still reduced the harvest of crops, and has even returned to the original level.

These all made everyone present feel panic, how long can this kind of life last?
a year?two years?

And after that?
Would they also be like the refugees outside, who were attacked by orcs and monsters, and then embarked on a journey of escape.Living a life of precarity, living in the open air, and falling down on the road to escape at any time?
Now that they finally heard the news that the severe drought was over, the boulder that weighed heavily on their hearts was finally removed, and their suppressed emotions were released. Of course, Ross would not refuse.

After a long time, everyone gradually quieted down. At this time, they remembered the last sentence that Ross said, "Our town of Stan will enter a real development period!"

That's right, under the leadership of this young man in front of him, the town of Stan not only suffered no losses but also achieved unprecedented development in this drought-shrouded season when the orcs looked around.

All of this was brought about by this young man, the village head who was ordered in danger.

So, what is the real development period in the mouth of such a legend?

Ross smiled and looked at the quiet crowd and said: "We have gathered everyone here today. In addition to announcing this good news, there are still several important tasks that need to be arranged."

No one at the scene spoke, because they had completely convinced Ross, the legendary mayor, and time had proved that as long as they followed Ross's arrangement, they would surely achieve extraordinary results.

"First of all, you must pass this good news to every citizen, refugee, and even slave. Be sure to appease everyone's confidence."

"Secondly, the agricultural officials of all villages and towns will do their best to check the crops under the continuous spring rain and formulate remedial measures. In this regard, Mr. Horn, please cooperate fully." The old druid Horn stood up and stroked his chest with his right hand, solemnly agreeing. .

"Third, the breeding officials in all villages and towns must do a good job in the sanitation and cleaning of the breeding sheds to prevent animal diseases caused by humidity and rising temperatures."

"Fourth, the villages and towns should select one-third of the refugees who are hard-working and have a high degree of recognition for the village as soon as possible. I will grant them the status of citizens. At the same time, select twice as many refugees from the refugees gathered around the nearby towns. Supplement into villages and towns."

"Fifth, Julis leads your team to work out an expansion plan for one town and three villages as soon as possible. When the new refugees are recruited in place, organize and start construction immediately."

"Yes!" The tanned Julius stood up and bowed to accept the order.

"The last point is also the most important point at the moment. Thomas, arrange guards and militia to do a good job of patrolling and guarding. The drought is over, but the orcs crossing the river are still there. The patrol range and frequency have doubled, and they are non-stop day and night. Make sure that the people of this stage are not invaded by orcs."

"Yes!" Thomas stood up with a serious face in chain mail and answered loudly.
