In the third week of the month of recovery, Cecil led a small rain.

Norris, the agricultural director, stood in front of the farmland that had just completed the flattening. He watched the farmers busy in the fields carrying metal boxes of similar shape to those of the combatants. The metal boxes were connected with iron pipes and pressure bars. When the user presses the pressure bars, the nozzle at the front end of the iron pipe can spray the liquid evenly and uniformly.

It was the new "sprinkler" made by the third workshop of the Machinery Manufacturing Institute in the spring of this year. It is said to be a new thing invented by Miss Rebecca. It does not use the slightest magic device inside, even if the stupid person is slightly trained. Can learn to use. Using this type of sprayer, a farmer can complete the workload of several people in the past day, and its role is simple, to quickly and efficiently spray the alchemy agent to the farmland.

The mist sprayed from the sprayer glows in the sun with a slight blue-green glow. These magical powers will quickly act upon contact with the soil, infiltrating the soil and decomposing the plant debris in the soil. The harmful magic accumulated in the soil releases the plants. During the growth process, certain types of magic or elements are continuously enriched in their roots. This enrichment of magic or elements will cause the yield of various crops to decline year by year and rapidly become wild. This is common knowledge that every farmer has, and there are usually only two treatments, either fallow crops, and two or three years of fallow in exchange for the rebalancing of land magic and fertility, either using druid potions or Abundance of magic to adjust the land.

The former wastes time and wastes land, and the latter is expensive and unfortunate.

But in Cecil, everything is not a problem.

The commissioning of the alchemy factory has brought ample supply of incredible alchemy pharmacy to the land. The agricultural growth promoters and the earth rejuvenation pharmacy that are always in short supply are directly distributed by the Office of Administration to each farmer. Therefore, the farmers who ploughed in spring can use the “sprinklers”, which are highly efficient and scary, to spray precious alchemicals, so that every inch of land is adequately cured.

Looking at the medicine mist, a little bit of infiltration of the land, so that the entire farmland floats a faint magical glow, Norris himself even produced a feeling of long-term thirst and finally tasted the rain, he knows that after the land is adequately cured How much food can be grown, and these foods are the lifeblood of human beings. All this should be thanks to the efforts of the wise men of the various institutes in the lords and territories.

So what will the wise people come up with in the future what can be unexpected but can change the whole territory?

In the territory, he saw Herti, who just completed the latest demographics.

"We have ushered in the 30,000th settler on the territory," the beautiful lady eagerly reported a good news when she saw Gao Wen. "On the cargo ship that arrived at Baishuihe Terminal this morning, there is one. The farmers from the western region have completed the registration and they have already reported to the camp."

In the office of the government office, Herti usually wears a plain black skirt and puts her hair high. Looking at her like this, Gao Wen’s mind will not be able to come up with the words “employment elite”. When he heard the other party's report, he couldn't help but smile a little: "It seems that the Xicheng District, which has just completed the expansion in winter, will soon be full of fun."

“Yes, thanks to the news that we actively spread to the public last year, and the results of the caravan activities,” Herti said with a happy face, but then she frowned slightly, “but recently started. Some problems have arisen... As the population of the main urban area has increased, especially from various regions, there have been many cases of fighting and fighting. Although the newly established security team is actively handling, the order has not been affected, but This is not a good trend..."

When the territory was first established, the law and order in the camp was maintained by the soldiers. However, after the initial development of the territory and the original camp became an urban settlement, Gao Wen established a "security team" separated from the army. Specially responsible for maintaining order within the territory and dealing with the law and order within the territory, the Knight apprentice named By Kyle, who was received by Byron, was the first sheriff of the security team.

So far, this security team, which is independent of the military system and directly responsible to the Office of Government Affairs, has done a good job, but it is clear that the root cause of recent problems on the territory is not simply that "people become more and therefore fight".

Hearing the contents of Herti’s report, Gao Wen’s face had no unexpected color. In fact, he has heard the reporter’s amber in the recent rise of the territorial incident.

"I know this," he nodded to Herti. "Amber told me three days ago."

"Amber..." Herti looked surprised. "Is she still doing something right?"

"...Occasionally, it’s a matter of doing things." Gao Wen’s mouth trembled, and his heart was helplessly laughing: The half-elves had to go around the territory every day as long as they had leisure time, go to various departments to dine or go to the streets. As a passer-by, Gao Wen said that her behavior was to fish (this kind of statement once caused Tyre’s dissatisfaction), but in fact, Miss Half Elf really did some business, she would see what she saw on the territory. Wendu reported to Gao Wen, although in most cases she just thought it would be interesting to come back and talk to people after going crazy outside, but Gao Wen did know a lot about the changes in the city in the process.

Hearing the explanation of his ancestors, Heti also smiled helplessly: "That guy... well, it still works. But the ancestors, the problem of law and order still has to be dealt with, although fighting is only a trivial matter, but this trend It is very problematic to continue to develop."

Gao Wen thought about this in the past few days. At this moment, he heard that he asked Herti a question: "Have you ever thought about how the people spend their free time every day?"

"Welling... leisure time?" Herti snorted. Obviously, she didn't really think about this problem. After thinking about her situation carefully, she answered with uncertainty. "I don't know how they did it." I can only say that when I am in my spare time, I read a magic book or study a star..."

"Ordinary people can't have this condition," Gao Wen smiled and shook his head, then looked at the clock hanging on the wall (the mechanical clock has long existed in this world due to the existence of the mechanics and institutional skills), "this way Well, when it's time to rest, you go home with me, I will show you something."

Heti is not clear, but he still obeyed Gao Wen back home, and what Gao Wen showed her was even more confusing.

She thought that it would be a new magic device, or a new management method that could improve the security situation. These two things are the best things of the ancestors, but I did not expect Gao Wen to hold a square. After the wooden box came over, there were only dozens of pieces carved in wood.

"This is..." Herti looked curiously as Gao Wen took a piece of parchment with square lines from the wooden box and laid it on the table, then took it out of the box with black and red. The colored pieces were placed on the parchment and finally I couldn’t help but ask, "What is this?"

"Chess," Gao Wen pointed to the chair across the table, letting Herti sit there. "I will teach you how to play."

"Play? Is this something for playing?"

Heti sat across from Gao Wen with full curiosity. She couldn’t feel any magical fluctuations from the piece, and even the material was just ordinary wood. She couldn’t see this and her. There was a link between the previously reported deterioration of public security, but with the great trust in Gao Wen, she seriously began to listen to Gao Wen’s explanation of the rules of this “game”.

The rules of chess are not complicated. Even ordinary people who have no culture can learn easily. Moreover, Herti, who has a strong comprehension, quickly understands the meaning of these simple pieces. The chess pieces were localized "translation", and the pieces were called "King", "Emperor Guardian Knight", etc., so that Herti understood.

After figuring out the rules, Hetty tried to put a plate with Gao Wen.

"Is this... is it a step forward?" She pinched the piece labeled "Infantry" and carefully pushed forward and asked Gao Wen.

“Yes,” Gao Wen nodded with a smile. “Then I should be...”

In less than ten minutes, Herti’s first chess game ended with a lost helmet.

However, she felt an incredible pleasure in the first game of this bumpy and ultimately fiasco. These pieces can contain so many changes, the rules are so simple... Can it be so interesting? !

"Can you come again... once?" Herti looked excited and looked forward, looking at Gao Wen’s eyes. "I think I can remind you without this!"

"Of course," Gao Wen rarely saw that Heti would show such a relaxed and happy appearance, and naturally he readily agreed. "This time you come to put the pieces, I will teach you."

Ten minutes later, Hetty looked at the "king" who was surrounded by chariots and wizards and was already dead. He was not willing to hold his fist: "The ancestor, I want to... come again..."

Until the sun gradually went down, the sky became dim, and Betty walked into the living room to light up the magic spar light. The lady who was addicted to chess was suddenly reacted. She took a look at the time and looked at the chessboard in front of her. The spirit suddenly sat up straight: "Ah! I forgot... (oh yeah)."

Herti’s shoulder and neck position made a loud bang, and the second half of her unspoken words became a direct cry: “It hurts...”

"Sit for a long time to be active," Gao Wen looked up and looked at the other person. "How, chess is fun?"

“Well...” Herti said subconsciously, but then she finally remembered what the real topic was before. “But what does this have to do with the deterioration of the conflict between the residents on the territory?”

"Of course," Gao Wen said with his hands on his chest. "Do you think they are fighting and fighting, what is it?"

Herti thought hard as she looked at her shoulder and neck: "Because...they are violent?"

"There are people who are violent, but it is impossible for so many people to be violent. It is even more impossible for everyone to be gentle in the past autumn and winter. It is only when the spring is violent," Gao Wen shook his head. "The real reason is Our people finally have extra energy. They are full of warmth and do not need to exhaust their entire energy for the sake of their livelihood, but there is not much entertainment after the warmth, and the fight is of course inevitable. Of course, This is not the whole reason, but it is also an important reason."

“There is no means of entertainment?” Hetty seems to be the first to think about the issue of “civilian entertainment”. “But in the past... and in other territories, why didn’t there be such a problem in the fight?”

Gao Wen glanced at Herti: "That's because they have never eaten."

Herti groaned and seemed to understand Gao Wen’s words. Then she looked at the chess in front of her eyes. “Do you think that with this kind of game, can you solve the security problem on the territory?”

Gao Wen’s answer this time is even more simple: “No.”
