Chapter 265: The changes in Iron Mountain fortres.2
Translator: 549690339
The two wise old men knew that no matter where Zhao Hai and the others went, the black soil wasteland was their root. It was also the foundation of the BU da family’s development.
The space could help them, but if Zhao Hai was gone, what would the Buda family rely on? He still had to rely on the black soil wasteland. Only by understanding every blade of grass and every tree here could he make better use of it.
When Zhao Hai and the others returned to the iron Mountain fortress, green and the others were not there. Even Merlin was not there. They asked blockhead, but blockhead said that the three of them had gone to see the mountain lake.
Zhao Hai, Laura, and the others also went to the lake in the mountains, but they didn’t see Merlin and the others. Zhao Hai wasn’t in a hurry. The blackearth wilderness was very safe now, and nothing would happen to Merlin and the others. They might have gone somewhere else.
Zhao Hai and the others returned to the iron Mountain fortress. They looked around and found that everything was fine. The rice mill and the oil press were operating as usual. The blue-eyed rabbit was being raised well. The two sheep were being raised well. They did not look sick at all. Everything was normal.
Although it was already a bit cold outside the castle, it didn’t feel cold inside at all. Because of the existence of the rainbow flowers, the temperature in the castle was still very high.
Due to the cold weather, the improved soil outside could no longer be planted. Even the corn in the canyon had been harvested. However, Zhao Hai had a new idea. He had Cai ‘er split a branch in the canyon. This way, the temperature in the canyon would be higher, and the soil there could be replanted.
The iron Mountain castle was really busy now. Other than the two venues, a few more newlyweds had gotten married. Of course, according to the usual practice, Zhao Hai held a wedding for these newlyweds and issued their marriage certificates. They were also restored to their civilian status.
Zhao Hai didn’t want the slaves to remain as slaves for the rest of their lives. A power couldn’t be supported by slaves alone. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn’t mind letting the slaves return to their civilian status.
Zhao Hai wasn’t worried that the slaves would leave this place if they returned to their status as civilians. They couldn’t leave this place. Besides, they had the mark of a slave on their bodies. No one would recognize them as civilians if they left the black soil wasteland. They would still be captured as slaves.
The slaves were satisfied as well. Not only had Zhao Hai restored their status as civilians, but he had also given them land and helped them settle down. Furthermore, they had money to spend after working for Zhao Hai. Of course, they had to spend money on food and vegetables now. However, the price was very low. They could save up some money to buy daily necessities and things they liked.
Now, the first store had been set up in the iron Mountain castle, the red spider lily free mall. Only one person was in charge of it, chrysanthemum.
This shopping mall was designed according to the supermarket style on earth. Every day, some slaves would supply the supermarket with wood and stones. When it was peaceful, only ju was here to look after the store. Whether it was a slave or a commoner, anyone could come here to buy things. Of course, the fees were the same. Ju only charged at the front of the store. Therefore, people who came to buy things would take the things they liked and go to ju to pay.
Laura had never heard of such a store. She thought that it was a perfect opportunity for people to lose things, but Zhao Hai still did it. What surprised her was that nothing had been lost since the store opened, not even a needle.
This not only surprised Laura, but also Zhao Hai. He never thought that these slaves and people who had just recovered their civilian status would have such a high level of awareness.
What Zhao Hai didn’t know was that it was precisely because he gave the slaves money that they were restored to their civilian status. That was why they didn’t steal. To the slaves, it was a blessing to be able to buy things like normal people. In the past, they didn’t have the chance to buy things even if they wanted to. Now that they had the chance, they wouldn’t miss it.
Zhao Hai didn’t build this shop to make money. He wanted the civilians in his territory to live a normal life. Buying and selling things were things that normal people would do. He didn’t want the people in his territory to live like slaves even though they used to be civilians.
Now, Iron Mountain castle really looked like a Castle. Some slaves who worked in the rice mills and the oil mills would wander around the castle or sit together to chat after work. They lived a comfortable life.
Zhao Hai was very satisfied with the current situation in the castle. He knew that he had to change things bit by bit. If he had wanted to achieve this level of success when he first came to the castle, it would have been impossible. However, he had achieved it naturally now.
Zhao Hai and Laura were sitting in the living room of the castle. Laura looked around and smiled, ” “To be honest, I still like this place because it makes me feel like home.”
&Quot; of course, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile. &Quot; everything here was set up by you, so of course you would feel that way. Hehe, I wonder where Grandpa kun Zheng and the others are. &Quot;
Laura smiled and said, ” it’s fine. Grandfather kun Zheng and the others said they were going to see the lake in the mountains, so they must be going to see the lake in the mountains. I think they might be going to see how long the lake in the mountains is. The origin of the lake is there. They want to understand the black soil wilderness as soon as possible. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” I heard that they’re drawing a map. They want to draw out the direction of the mountains, the terrain of the mountains, and everything around it in detail. Hehe, this is our home. We should take a good look. &Quot;
At this moment, kun Zheng’s voice came from outside. Zhao Hai and the others quickly stood up. Sure enough, kun Zheng, green, and Merlin came in from outside. The moment they saw Zhao Hai, the three of them were stunned. Then, green smiled and said,”Why did you come back so early today? What happened?”
Zhao Hai shook his head. &Quot; no, it’s nothing. It’s just that we finished our business a long time ago, so we came back. &Quot;
After they sat down, Laura and the others told Grimm and the others about the things that happened in the past two days. Grimm and the others listened quietly. They really didn’t expect that so many things would happen in the Prairie in just two days.
Only when Laura and the others had finished speaking, did green frown and say, ” “Young master, did you really make a beheading blood oath with Weyers? Isn’t this too rash?”
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. &Quot; there’s nothing we can do about it. If I didn’t agree back then, the cooperation with Weyers would have been over. Now, almost all the large tribes in the grasslands have long-term partners. We can’t interfere. If we give up this opportunity, we don’t know when our business in the grasslands will succeed. So, I want to take a gamble. &Quot;
Kun Zheng agreed with Zhao Hai’s decision. He nodded and said, ” “I think little hai is doing the right thing. The herculean divine ox tribe has a high status in the grasslands. Ordinary battle clans don’t dare to be rude to them. Even the higher-ranked battle clans will give them some face. If we can really form a relationship with them, it will be very beneficial to our business in the grasslands. This means that he doesn’t have any malicious intent towards little hai, and that’s enough.”
Zhao Hai nodded and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. &Quot; we’re going back. The undead creatures saw the blood eagle and sent a message. Something might have happened. We have to go back and take a look. &Quot; After saying goodbye to green and the others, he led Laura and the others back to the camp on the grassland.
