Chapter 627: cannibal

"Yes, I heard from the people in the Security Bureau that they were locked up there before, but now they have been transferred away, and they may be locked up in the prison behind the palace."

"One day, I croaked and told the domain chief what to do, domain chief, your medicine has been boiled for you, hurry up and drink it while it's hot."

The people under his command came in with medicine bowls, and Long Ba didn't continue the conversation just now, and let the other party go out.

The people from the Jin Kingdom and the South Kingdom were resolved, and the process of mining in the mine was going smoothly.

Now it is the beginning of spring, and the snow in the northern wilderness has almost melted, so Su Yu brought up the matter of land reclamation again.

Early in the morning, Cheng Ming was waiting outside the door, and when Su Yun was ready, he followed her out of the city.

"City Lord, basically all the wasteland around the city can be opened." If you want to find more wasteland, you can only go further.

There are many short mountains in the northern wasteland, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult to open up a piece of wasteland.

"Like this mountain, can't it be converted into cultivated land?"

A group of people came to the foot of a mountain. Su Yan pointed at the mountain with his hand. The mountain is not high or steep, and the soil is relatively soft. It seems that it should be able to grow crops.

Cheng Mingdao: "Everyone who is small in this mountain has also seen it. The soil quality can be used for farming, but it is actually a bit difficult to plant on a large scale because it is on the mountain."

Su Yan patted the tiger under his buttocks, signaling it to go up the mountain.

This mountain not only looks gentle, but it is actually not steep at all.

After walking for a while, Su Yun told the big cat to stop. She walked to the back of the mountain, stepped on the soil with her feet, and then picked up a branch to draw a circle on it.

"What if?"

In just a moment, she drew circles and circles of steps on the soil under her feet, "Gather this place together, can we plant it here?"

Cheng Ming thought it was not good here, mainly because he felt that the soil quality on the mountain was not solid enough. If he planted crops, if there was a heavy rain, he would worry that the crops would be buried by the loose mountain soil.

"Look, two openings are opened on both sides for water storage, water supply and drainage. If it rains, open this drain to let the excess water drain out, because there are outer circles for protection, combined with the mountain's From the perspective of soil quality, even if there is a heavy rainstorm, the possibility of farmland tilting is very small."

Su Yu once read a form of cultivation called terraced fields in the information, and she felt that the short mountains that met the conditions could be changed into that form.

"Build stone ridges on the outside to form a ladder prototype, and gradually increase the height of the ground stems, so that the **** within the plot will be reduced. Further transformation should be able to meet the conditions for planting, what do you think?"

What Su Yun said was what she saw from the materials.

The more Cheng Ming looked at Su Yun's description, the brighter his eyes became, "The city lord is wise, we never thought of it before."

They thought that the northern wasteland was vast, and the big deal was to go a little farther to find the wasteland to drive out, but they didn't think it was too complicated.

But now hearing what Su Yu said, I think it is very likely to be possible. There are many such mountains outside the city. If they can use them, they don't have to run so far.

Su Yu was just making a suggestion, and it was up to Cheng Ming and the others to actually implement it.

"It's spring now, hurry up and let's go to another place to see."

Since we want the whole city to have surplus food, of course the more food the better.

Cheng Ming left a few people here for further discussion, and he followed Su Shi to other places.

At this time, outside the border of Chu State, near the entrance of the Northern Wilderness, a group of people slowly walked towards this side.

They were dressed in rags, their eyes were dull, and their faces were full of death.

After driving away the people from the Southern Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, Su Yu sent people to guard the entrance.

The guards at the entrance saw so many people approaching, and stepped forward to stop them.

"Stop, where did you come from?"

Although Su Yu did not prevent the refugees and prisoners from entering, he always made some inquiries before entering.

Those people shrank a little when they saw the way ahead was blocked.

"I, we are, escaped from the disaster, and came from the southern country."

"There was a snowstorm in the southern country, and our homes were crushed by the snow. The imperial court didn't care about our life or death. We had no choice but to flee, but other countries didn't let us in, so we could only go this way."

The guards looked them up and down, "Why didn't we hear about the snow disaster in the southern country?"

"Oh, you two are so far away, how could you know that the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and I don't know how many people were trapped to death, and the imperial court didn't care about our life or death. As long as we have a place to go, we can't even lose our family and country. "

The guards saw that all those people were starved to the point of emaciation, and they didn't look like they were lying.

But the guard still took out a pen and paper, and called them into the room one by one to inquire and register.

After asking them all, they were put in.

Those people walked into the northern wilderness and found dead bodies and uninhabited woodland everywhere, and the death on their faces became heavier.

"Those people are guarding outside, I thought there was some treasure inside, who knew there was nothing, why are they asking so many questions?" Someone in the team complained dissatisfied.

No one answered, and they were too tired to speak when they got here.

"No matter what, let's find a place to stay first."

They moved forward all the way, but before they went far, someone in the team fell down.

"Wang Wu, Wang Wu..." The people around him walked up to the fallen man, and stretched out their hands to feel for his pulse.

He looked up at the leader and shook his head slowly, "I'm out of breath."

These three words seemed to have turned on some invisible switches on their bodies, and a pair of eyes glowing in the dim light fell coldly on the corpse that hadn't completely cooled down.

They haven't eaten for a long time, even if it is a corpse, it is still hope for them to live!

"Since we are dead, then give us a way to survive!"

Someone couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately rushed towards the corpse.

"What are you doing, don't, don't touch my son..." An older lady wanted to push away those rich men, but she couldn't be their opponent and could only watch her son being torn apart Got bloody.

Those who followed in the dark frowned watching this scene.

After the Northern Wilderness was purged by Su Yu, it has been a long time since such a thing happened. Suddenly seeing it, the shock is still not small.

"You continue to follow, I will send a message to the city."

There were a lot of people in this group, of course they couldn't just let them in, so they had been sending people to follow them secretly, but they didn't expect to be caught by them.

Soon, even the bones of that skinny corpse were licked clean...
