"At the beginning, there was only a piece of wild land and nothing. Fortunately, the king gave many households to his ministers, and they were all skilled. Within two months, we built a house on the trees and built a simple fence wall with bamboo and wood..."

Many dry-bar-style buildings in the Chu State were the predecessors of the dry-bar-style buildings, which were all kinds of tree houses. It was indeed a good idea to live in a tree house at the beginning, at least ordinary beasts could not hurt them.

When Bai Zhi learned that the king liked the gift he offered very much, he was very happy. After following Bai Jingyuan back to Chaoyang Palace, he talked about his experience for more than half a year in detail.

From nothing to something, it has been a difficult task since ancient times, especially if you want to build a city on a flat ground, it is even more difficult.

When Bai Jingyuan had just traveled through time, he saw Huang Gou and the others building a deep in the lake. There were so many people at that time and it was still so slow. Bai Zhi said it lightly, and the suffering at that time can be imagined.

It is really amazing to be able to lead only a few hundred people to take root in the wilderness in such a short time!

"You've suffered! Unfortunately, I can't give you more people."

Bai Jingyuan sighed and whispered: "If there are savages or refugees who surrender, you might as well accept some."

He didn't say much comforting words, because he said inappropriately, and it was easy to become a stand-up without a headache. Sometimes, understanding and help within his ability after understanding are what people need most after suffering.

He knew that Bai Zhi had a family.

The so-called savages and refugees surrendered in fact, it is actually a hint that even if he brings his family to the Chu State to settle down, no one will follow the truth.

Although his family was not in Chu State, and doing so was suspected of colluding with foreigners, who cares about these matters that the people did not procure officials or investigate?

Those families with so many hidden families are all innocent?

What is the most precious thing these days?

It's not the land, but the population.

If it were others, he might not be so relieved. After all, once he attracted the desperation from other countries, it would likely cause hidden dangers to the public security of his country.

Now that I have the opportunity to secretly poach other countries, I’m happy to think about it!

Bai Zhi knew that this was a hint that he could bring his family. He didn't know what Bai Jingyuan was thinking, and he just thought that the king was pitying his hard work, so he would grant him help from home.

What a trust this is!

While feeling moved, he also knew that it was not the time, and it was not good to refuse the king. He could only pretend not to understand and sighed: "Now there are indeed many refugees from the north, including Yan and Zhao people. Unfortunately, my fiefs are too simple. Those refugees who can escape so far will not look down on them. Let's wait!"

After talking about the gossip, Bai Jingyuan talked about the donkey again.

"Where did that donkey come from?"

"Donkey? King, are you talking about the pony brought by me?"

People who have never seen a donkey before, and when they see it, they will mess it with a horse. It is not surprising at all.

Bai Jingyuan sighed: "It is not a pony, it is another animal, it is called a donkey."

"Okay, it's a donkey."

Bai Jingyuan was helpless. He really couldn't figure out why the people here used horses so smoothly, but no one found a treasure creature like donkey?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Zhi smiled and grabbed the hem of his clothes with his hands. He resisted the urge to scratch his head and replied to Bai Jingyuan's previous question: "I am close to a small grassland. When I first moved there, there was a shortage of food and had to hunt from time to time. Then once, I found such a group of ponies deep in the grassland. At that time, I thought they were too small, and no one looked down on them. Later, I caught some and came back to tame them, but found that they had many advantages over horses, especially working, which was particularly neat."

Speaking of this, Bai Zhi seemed to have discovered a treasure, with a smile on his face: "My fief can be built so quickly, thanks to these small things, kings, and other ministers who stayed in the fief, intending to wait for them to reproduce more and send this one, but the most beautiful one in it. When they reproduce more, they will definitely be sold at a good price in the future!"

I was still thinking that Bai Zhi could help him train war horses. After all, the Chu army had a tendency to transform into cavalry, and the more horses the better. If you don’t be constrained by other countries and have your own horse farm, it is very necessary.

Now Bai Zhi has developed in the direction of cultivating domestic animals, which is really a fate!

Thinking of this, Bai Jingyuan remembered the incident of the old, weak, women and children in Phoenix Platform being crazy about stone mills during summer harvest. If donkeys can be seen everywhere in the future, for them, it would be another change that could change their lives, right?

"Have you tried to let the donkey and horse give birth to a pony?"

Since there are no donkeys elsewhere, why not sell mules?

Mules cannot have children, but they combine the advantages of donkeys and horses. Wouldn't it be better to sell them as livestock?

People in this era did not understand reproductive isolation? The principles that elementary school students in later generations understood, and people here would not understand.

So when Bai Zhi heard this, he thought he was so whimsical that he was really hard to do: "King, their size is too different. It is really difficult to successfully breed..."

"I just thought that people can be like dads and mothers. Will the children of horses and donkeys have the advantages of horses and donkeys?"

He only knew a concept and didn't know how the mule came about. He had to use his brains that broke through the sky to decorate his ideas.

"That's true..."

Bai Zhi was like opening the door to a new world, touching his chin and pondering for a long time.

Bai Jingyuan didn't bother him, but just ordered the cook to burn carp.

Only he understands the words of red carp, green carp and donkey, and he just wants to laugh when he thinks about it.

When he first saw the donkey, he made up his mind to invite Bai Zhi to eat carp.

This kind of evil taste cannot be resorted to. Bai Jingyuan smiled and asked if his wife and children were safe after he came to his senses.

As soon as he talked about the horse and donkey giving birth, he asked about Bai Zhi's child again. Thinking of his wife, Bai Jingyuan wanted to laugh again when he saw him looking like this.

Such a good woman, who is willing to talk to him with concern, means that he is indeed a good person!

Seeing that the king always smiled at him and was still very strange, Bai Zhi couldn't help but blush: "She has Xiu Niang again. She was going to bring her with her, and Hu Zi, but now she is very lively! King, do you know? Hu Zi will call him dad!"

Men who enter the silly father mode will always become very soft. After a long time of intrigue with Ren Xiu and the others, Bai Jingyuan especially likes this kind of old acquaintances, talking about the gentleness of the family.

"Do you name him Baihu? What a good name. You must be an amazing person when you grow up!"

Bai Zhi's face was flushed with excitement. While saying "Thank you for your name," he looked forward to his son's future.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. Bai Zhi regarded the king as his benefactor, confidant, and friend. As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop him.

Bai Jingyuan also particularly likes his unrestrained temperament.

After all, this is a person who dares to ask him if he wants to eat roasted eggs even if he is about to be beaten to death.

The two of them talked about the past and the future, and it became dark without realizing it.

Gongsun Quji waited for most of the day, but he couldn't wait anymore, so he sent someone to spread the news. After hearing that Mr. Gongsun had been here for a long time, Bai Jingyuan remembered that he had arranged for Gongsun Quji to come to report his work yesterday, and he was very upset.

It is the end of the year, and gifts are sent everywhere, which are something other than taxes. Bai Jingyuan is not the kind of person who only enters and does not leave, so he will not receive gifts in vain, so he arranged for Gongsun Quji to take a look at the matter.
