People are in Locke Kingdom, and they start to travel through the Man in Black?
Chapter 218: The Oasis was not built in one day, and people’s hearts were not bought in one day
With the blessing of the magical power of the experience fruit, the pets were extremely enthusiastic in their work. They all released their own magic power to the death and contributed their own strength to this endless desert.
Whenever the magic power in the body was drained, Lin Mo and others would throw out some magic potions and experience fruits.
You say you have no strength? No problem, a bottle of red potion will allow you to sweep away hunger and be yourself again. You say you have no mana? That's not a problem either, the blue potion will let you know what it means to have too much mana.
You still say you are hungry? That is not a problem at all. You can have cola nuts, figs, 10,000 experience fruits to 200,000 experience fruits. You can eat as many as you want.
Lin Mo, with his army of pets and the black magician following him, was working hard in the front. The villagers who were walking slowly behind them were so moved that they shed tears when they saw this scene.
"The King of Zhenbei is such a honest man!"
"The prince is such a good man!"
"Your Majesty, we are here to help you!"
"Your Majesty, please take a rest and don't tire yourself out."
The villagers brought their own food and hard-earned water to reward Lin Mo and others.
Looking at the food enthusiastically handed over by the villagers, Lin Mo was filled with emotion. Perhaps this is what the great ruler looks like in the eyes of the people.
"Hahaha, folks, this water is hard to come by, and food is even harder to come by. You should keep this food for next year's farming, and don't waste it because of us."
Lin Mo directly refused the food that was handed to him. During this period, he also visited the villages near the desert. These villages were basically on the brink of starvation. If they could produce so little food, someone in their family might die tomorrow.
Lina and Claire went down to comfort the people and distributed some of the food they had brought with them.
"Fellow villagers, this is the food from the palace. If you don't mind, let's have lunch together."
An old man with white hair and no teeth walked to the front of the crowd tremblingly with tears in his eyes: "It's been so many years, it's been so many years, the court finally remembered that there are still a group of people here who have suffered hardships."
Upon hearing this, the people present all looked dejected. They had begged the government for help more than once, but without exception the government had only issued notices asking them to solve the problem themselves.
But how can a group of people who can't even get enough food solve such a problem? It is impossible to control the desert because there is not enough food and water to support it.
If we migrate, it would be tantamount to seeking death. Although the harvest here is less, at least we can still fill our stomachs. But if we choose to migrate, we will be close to starving to death.
"God has opened his eyes today! He actually sent such a prince who loves his people like his own children to govern our Northern Frontier. Our people in Northern Frontier are blessed."
At the old man's command, the young and strong men following behind asked to join the battle to control the desert.
Naturally, Lin Mo would not refuse this matter. Now he had food and water, so he was not worried about not being able to feed them. Besides, they would also benefit greatly from desert control.
Although it is not possible to increase the amount of farmland on a large scale, at least some of the land can still be cultivated.
If they want to avoid starvation, they have to rely on themselves.
But he didn't directly let them join the land reclamation team. They were so hungry that they looked pale and thin, and couldn't even hold the iron cattail. How dare you let these people work? I'm afraid they would starve to death before they could move.
"Everyone, don't panic, listen to me first."
Lin Mo stood on Abu's head and used the magic of amplifying sound to give orders to tens of thousands of people in front of him.
"Fellow villagers, health is the capital of revolution. I know you have been hungry and cold all the time. If you rashly do strenuous work, your health will be in trouble. But everyone has responded so positively, I don't want to disappoint you. How about this, everyone has a good meal first to adapt to the situation, and then we will officially start work tomorrow, okay?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and soon several black magicians came over using magic to control several rice jars. Pots of fragrant rice were placed in front of them, and with the addition of special pickled mustard tubers, the taste was so delicious.
Even those who are used to eating big fish and meat will be attracted by the unique flavors, let alone ordinary people who can't even get enough food.
The oil and salt added to the pickled mustard tuber made these people unable to control their emotions.
Looking at the people who were about to grab food, Lin Mo shook his head slightly. It was not their fault. Who made the whole Water Country like this? But fortunately, he came, and this was the first step for him, the Bian King, to win people's hearts.
"Don't be anxious, folks. Line up one by one. Everyone will get a share! If I find anyone cutting in line and wasting food, don't blame me for being rude! You won't even get a bite of food!"
When hearing that they would not be given food, many people subconsciously shrank their necks. After all, being polite or not is not important at all. The most important thing is whether they can have a full meal.
When Lin Mo gave the order, the people lined up in front of more than a dozen big pots, and those who were in the back could only watch the people in front of them wolf down the food, and they could only swallow their saliva behind them.
But as long as you are willing to wait a while, those delicious meals will eventually be delivered to your stomach.
"Wow! It smells so good! I haven't eaten such delicious rice in a long time!"
"Look at this dish! Not only is there oil, but there is also salt! I remember the last time I ate fine salt was last time."
"Wuwuwu..., Mom..., it would be great if you could hold on for a few more days, wuwuwu..."
Some are happy and some are sad, the world is always imperfect.
"Fellow villagers, the palace is short of manpower right now. It will take more than a day or two to control the desert, so the prince still needs a lot of manpower to support him."
"From now on, anyone who comes to help the prince control the desert will be able to eat delicious rice and pickled mustard tubers every day!"
"What!? We'll have rice to eat every day from now on!"
"The prince is so kind to us!"
"We swear allegiance to the prince until death!"
"Swear allegiance to the prince till death!"
What's worse, there were a few guys who were good at doing things and they just knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".
"Long live! Long live! Long live! ..."
Lin Mo felt so ecstatic after hearing what he heard. You guys really made me suffer!
Lin Mo felt bad when he saw those common people who started crying while eating. In the troubled times, even staying alive became a luxury, let alone eating.
Fortunately, the accumulation over the years is enough to support these people, at least until the seeds sown bear fruit the next year.
