Chapter 297 (1/2)
”My Lord!! Since we stay here, we don't want to be farmers again and spread around the farmland! ” There was a roar from below. At first, they were hostile to Dracula, who had moved them to the city.
You should know that Rome is really too big. Because of its large size, the geographical problems are more serious than those in modern America and greater China.
No one but Dracula knows how much resistance a fallen Lord will face?
He is a lord of great ability.
Perhaps everyone will look at his military talent, but in politics, Dracula's talent is unparalleled.
He gathered thousands of miles of individual farmers and farmers, he opened the fields around the city, so that sunrise, sunset and rest, the city gradually has vitality.
In addition, the tax-free policies and various welfare programs he has provided for the past two years have been implemented, which has made farmers more fond of this Lord.
At this time, those who can stay are the first group of people. That group of farmers.
”My Lord, since we came in alive, we haven't thought of going out of the castle alive!” Some people roared, this sentence is true, but their mood when they moved in was completely different from their current mood.
”Yes, my Lord, you have exempted us from the tax for three years, and now it is only two years. If you die, who shall we go to for the tax exemption for the last year?” There was a cry below, and there was a burst of laughter.
”My Lord, we will fight to the end and live with the city!”
People's voice gradually gathered into the highest cry, and then merged into a sentence: ”don't retreat, don't go, live together!”
All of them were shouting, and on the top of the city, Dracula's eyes were wet, and he yelled, ”well, let's see how powerful the Macedonian elite is!”
He roared, below is the mountain call, is the tsunami, is the people's strength.
Dracula firmly believed that if the reinforcements arrived, the victory would be reversed. If the reinforcements did not arrive, hehe, at most, he would go to the yellow spring with the people. Is there any complaint?
Dracula laughed.
The next day Dracula's Castle fell into a frenzied atmosphere of preparation.
At the same time, 5000 people went to the edge of the farmland outside the city with axes to cut down trees.
Small saplings and ordinary trees that are only thick in the arms of ordinary people are not needed. On the contrary, they only need huge trees, and the trees that are embraced by two people are eligible for their cutting qualification.
A transport team of more than 3000 people drove cattle and horses to pull carts. Two wagons of laborious stumps carried the newly cut trees into the city. These trees will be cut off by a team of 300 people. The branches and branches will be directly used as firewood, and then used as cooking oil.
Edible oil is a very precious thing. No one will take edible oil as the material of urban defense. On the contrary, tung oil, tea seed oil and rapeseed oil are the most important urban defense systems.
However, boiling oil needs to be burned by fire. In this era when carbon is not valued or used, let alone charcoal, natural charcoal is discarded as shoes.
So we have to choose wood as fuel.
This is the age of wood.
If divided according to energy, it should be the tree age, the Carboniferous era, the oil age and the nuclear age. The era of these things that people cannot leave is called the energy age.
What stone tools, bronze, silver, golden age sound weak explosion, the use of weapons to divide the age is not right.
The most fundamental and direct embodiment of human is the use of energy.
And now it's just the age of trees!
Then there is the material reserve.
Due to the impact of the last war, they didn't even have time to cook. Dracula ordered all the people to clean up the grain and mix them together. Finally, they made them into cakes and baked them in the sun. Or when boiling oil, they were put into a burning furnace with iron clips. The cakes were delicious and durable, and only needed a sip of water or wine You can eat a big piece.
