Chapter 142: The changes in Jiu Yuan City (2/2)
Meng told Yan Mo that since the hall was built, everyone will gather to talk about things here.
Shortly after Yan Mo entered the hall, the old Tribe Priest and other people who got the news chased after him, and Ancestral Witch Ka Di and Tribe Chief Lang Lang and The Elder Zha Zha of the dwarf MoMo also arrived.
“Tell them to wait outside for outside.”
“Yes.” A guard was ordered to leave the hall to speak to them.
“You also go out first.” Yan Mo spoke that Wu Chen, Sa Yu, and Hu Hu should also leave. He needs to know about things from Meng from the mouth first, and then know the details from each responsible population. Such a comparison means he can also find many problems.
They know that Priest Da Ren has a lot of things to ask to Meng Da Ren. Several people left the hall after the salutations, but they didn't go far, they were just waiting outside the hall. These people were surrounded by other people waiting outside as soon as they went out.
Not to mention how lively outside the hall, it’s inside the hall too.
The big hall, there were now only two people, the stone-built hall still had a few shades in the summer, and Meng suddenly felt that the hall seems too cold, and he felt that his back was feeling a bit cold.
Yan Mo went straight to the top chair and sat down. He was tired after a long walk.
Meng was standing below.
“Is that river made by The Mer-people?” Yan Mo used the question, but he knew what the answer was before he asked.
Meng nodded. ”I was told you before by Zhan. He said if The Mer-people wants to dig the river in the city, he agree with it.”
Yan Mo understands why Yuan Zhan gave this permission and there are new workers who help build urban waterways. As for safety issues, it is not difficult for Yuan Zhan, who can control the soil, to disconnect and block the river.
With these rivers, the Jiu Yuan people themselves will do things with much more convenient. They don't need to venture out they can just let The Mer-people enter the center of the city and this also served to shock the dwarfs.
“It's growing very fast.” Yan Mo looked at Meng.
Meng laughed and grabbed his head and said: ”A lot of dwarfs came. They didn't want to go when they came. Luo Meng came over and asked me to speed up the river. But the dwarfs built houses and dug the waterways. They are all good. It’s too noisy by food time.”
He added: “If it was just the first dwarfs, you couldn’t cover so many houses in such a short period of time, and the dwarfs who came later helped.”
“You let the new coming dwarfs also work digging the waterways?” Yan Mo felt a headache coming. When that animal gets back, there will be a lot of re-working and re-planning. It takes a lot of effort to transform the underground sewer network.”
“Yes.” Meng hadn't noticed that he has done something wrong. He also thinks that it is cheap labor to let the later dwarfs work.
“The first group of dwarfs already live in the stone house?”
“No.” Meng finally noticed the unhappiness in Yan Mo’s voice, and he quickly tightened his face and said: “Zhan said that we only lend the stone houses to them, the first batch of houses were covered. I only gave them two, and the others gave us their own. Later, our people would first got to choose the house to live in, and the rest I lend to the dwarfs.”
“Oh? Then those new coming dwarfs ... Whose house are they living in?”
Meng’s heart trembled, he whispered: “Before Zhan and you left he said that we should cover as much work as possible.”
Hey, I need a life-saver, Little Priest Da Ren’s tone is getting more and more terrible.
“It's okay to cover more work. But why are the two houses separated so far?”
“The dwarfs said they are not used to living with us. The Awu Tribe doesn't like them much. I think it might be better to separate them...”Meng felt the more he said the quieter he should stay
“So who agreed to let them put camp in the north facing the south sides of the plain? I remember that I clearly left the city plan before I left, and I planned and drew that all houses have to be in the order I put down...and in the city the houses have to be built from the right to the left, except for the commercial area facing the city center. There must be a street between the two rows of houses, and the houses must be facing each other. The houses in the north can only sit looking west or east.”
Yan Mo sneered in his heart. Do the dwarfs think that his plan can be changed casually because he was not there? They don't like the underground so no they decided they will take and build the houses in the direction of the sun? Sure enough, people are not fools. If there is a better living environment, who is willing to leave? No one is really into being underground creature.
“They said that all of us live in houses facing south, and they have to be the same as us.” Meng swallowed his mouth and had sweat on his forehead, and he felt hot again. ”The east is very important place for the city, the deep blue lake is near the east gate, which made the people choose looking in the east of the house according to your requirements, just that the house row are facing south, and they did not look towards the north.”
Yan Mo suddenly smiled. ”Nothing, the house can be rebuilt and will be rebuilt. Anyway, it is just a loaned house where the guest lives.”
Meng wiped the sweat of his head let out a sigh, leaving him to manage a city, even if the number is too small, it is too difficult for him. Moreover, the three tribes coexist, and the human beings as the masters were the fewest. Fortunately, Mo and Zhan finally came back to take over.
Meng wanted to ask Yuan Ji Tribe about it, but after a few words, he swallowed them back. He was afraid. He even guessed that he shouldn't mention Yuan Ji Tribe at all. Zhan didn't come back. Is Yuan Ji Tribe already...
Meng didn't dare to think and he didn't dare to ask.
Yan Mo asked another question to Meng, including the textile machine and linen which he was interested in.
What surprised Yan Mo was that the textile machine was not made by the Nuo Ma, the girl of The Mer-people, but Sa Yun, Sa Yu's mother who was temporarily appointed to be responsible for textiles, she was the first one to figure it out.
The other reason is that the new dwarfs who want to take advantage of the nest are running to Jiu Yuan. They all look similar to Yan Mo, and they were forced out of the forest by the gray-green humanoid monsters, called The Chi people, but Meng mentioned a little about that. Wu Chen learned a little dwarf's language from some dwarf conversations, he heard that the little monsters seem to have more powerful guys. One mighty guy seems to be driving the little monsters.
Yan Mo frowned indurated with deep thoughts.
What is driving the Chi? And is it related to what Old Sa Má said to him?
Will they only be in the forest or will they enter to the grasslands?
The point is, will they be enemies to Jiu Yuan in the future?
Whether it's an enemy or a large forest resource nearby, Yan Mo doesn't want to give any of it up. And he does not want to give up those forest resources, Jiu Yuan people will inevitably meet The Chi people.
Needed the same solution, Yan Mo closed his eyes and frowned. Jiu Yuan will have much trouble in the future. The Fruit of Witchcraft in his stomach is an untimely bomb. If Old Sa Má is right, God knows how many enemies will appear in the future looking for it!
Meng turned around two times and finally couldn't help but ask: ”Mo, my big brother Lie, Yuan Ji Tribe... What's going on now? What about Zhan? Why didn't he come back with you?”
