Chapter 27 Let's start farming
The next morning, Dany walked around the White Cloud City herself and began to regret killing all the lambs too early.
The resources here are so rich that they can live here forever.
Almost every street and every large courtyard has at least one well, and the water in the well has not dried up.
It is not surprising that Dany's water-collecting team can draw water from a one- or two-meter-deep earth pit, and the stone well more than ten meters deep is naturally full of water.
In the courtyard, between the cracks of the stone slabs, there are clumps of devil grass growing, enough for horses and lambs to breed.
Unfortunately, all the lambs were killed.
Horses are not very good livestock for food, and killing them for meat is too cost-effective.
After a general tour of the entire city, Dany immediately started the big construction.
The old woman was responsible for clearing the weeds in the orchard and collecting fruits for the daily needs of Ka LS.
The strong woman, led by Sir Jorah, tidied up the abandoned palace.
The palace has enough houses for all the horse people.
The old man was responsible for feeding the horses and repairing saddles, bridles, stirrups and horseshoes.
Dany personally led the bloodriders and centaurs to knock down the low houses in the slums of the city. The excess bricks and stones were used to repair the palace. The stone foundations of the empty ground were uncovered, and the horses plowed the land together with the bare soil.
Then, Dany and the kal-LS went out together, found a lot of firewood and weeds from outside the city, spread them on the freshly turned mud, and burned a fire for a day and a night.
Then they plowed a second time, mixed the grass ash with the mud evenly, and sprinkled the selected large grains of wheat into the mud.
Well, in this world where summer can last for more than ten years, there is no such thing as sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn. If it really was sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, humans would have starved to death with more than ten years of summer.
As long as the land is empty and it is not winter, you can plant any crop at any time.
There is no such thing as peaches in spring and pears in autumn.
Fruits that only appear in different seasons on the earth can be seen here at the same time on the branches of different fruit trees.
Turnips are also one of the staple foods in this world, and Dany's kal-LS has always carried them.
At this time, the shrunken turnips were cut into pieces, first covered in wet cloth to germinate seedlings, and then taken out and planted separately.
In addition to turnips and barley, which had always been used as food, they also found beets, onions, garlic, blackberries, mint, peppers and other plants in the garden of Baiyun City.
The inedible flowers and plants in the garden were pulled out to feed the horses, and the empty space was used to plant food.
The children were not idle either. They wandered in the winding and complicated alleys, shuttled between the windowsills of the houses, looking for ancient bronzes, rusted iron pots and weapons.
There were old men who knew the skills of blacksmiths in the khals. They were once slaves of Drogo. Because they were too old to lift the hammer, they were abandoned by the new khals such as Bono and Jaco.
Dany picked out four centaurs with the worst fighting power and asked them to change their jobs to blacksmiths.
"We are great horsemen warriors. We are born to kill and be killed. We can't do slave work."
The centaurs were as if they were humiliated and protested loudly with red faces.
Dany wanted to taunt them: You won't kill anyone, you will only be killed.
With your skills, what else can you do except help others practice swordsmanship?
"Who said blacksmiths can't kill people?" Dany frowned and began to talk nonsense righteously, "Do you know who I am? The princess of Dragonstone, born in the storm, I was once the daughter of the king of the setting sun continent. My brother Rhaegar was no weaker than any khal except Drogo, but he died at the hands of a usurper.
The man named Robert Baratheon killed my brother and robbed the throne that belonged to my father and my brother. He was almost as powerful as the greatest Khal Drogo."
The four centaurs were confused. Of course, they knew the life experience of their own Khaleesi and knew that she was the last princess, so the original Khal Drogo was willing to marry her.
"Khaleesi, I don't understand." A centaur said softly.
"Ah, the usurper, Robert Baratheon, is as strong as Khal Drogo." Dany looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said in a melancholy voice, "He's just a blacksmith!"
"Cough, cough cough." Ser Jorah choked on his own saliva.
"I just want to tell you that even if you learn the blacksmith's craft, you can become a great warrior." Dany concluded.
"But is the usurper, Khal of the Sunset Continent, really a blacksmith?" The centaur doubted.
Dany's face became serious, and she looked at Jorah and asked, "Sir, in the name of the Seven Gods and the Old Gods, tell them what weapon the usurper used?"
"Hammer." The big bear said dryly.
"Did you hear that?" Dany glanced at the centaur with sharp eyes, "Think about it yourself, can a hammer hit a person's head and kill him?"
"The usurper hit your brother's chest. The red dragon made of rubies on his chest was smashed to pieces, and the rubies fell on the river beach. Later, people called the place where Prince Rhaegar was defeated 'Ruby Beach'." The big bear added with difficulty.
"You have also seen Ser Jorah's armor. The arakh could not cut it at all, but the red dragon armor, which was harder than his, was smashed by the hammer." Dany spread her hands, looked around at the horsemen with dazed expressions, and asked herself: "What does this show? It shows that blacksmiths have a bright future!"
"Now are you willing to learn from the blacksmith master?" she asked at last.
"I am willing, Khaleesi, I want to be a blacksmith too." Her bloodrider, Jhogo, said excitedly.
Dany looked at his eyes.
Soon, the four blacksmith apprentices began to re-melt the collected tools under the guidance of the master.
Not long after, the horsemen children found a batch of scrolls in a stone house, and Dany rushed over very happily.
Unfortunately, she found that the long time had changed the texture of the scrolls. Except for the first page on the surface, the rest were all sticky together, and they would immediately break into powder if touched hard.
But she still had a major gain. She found a map in the stone house that seemed to be a library.
The writing and patterns on it have become blurred, and the parchment is almost decayed, but Dany still knows where she is now.
Well, the center of the map is White Cloud City.
There are continuous mountains to the west, and three cities are marked in the western part of the mountains. Dany translated the name of a city, "Meereen" written in the ancient Valyrian language.
There are also continuous mountains to the east, and the sea is east of the mountains.
The most valuable is the geographical information to the south of White Cloud City. There is another ocean to the south. There is no standard scale, so the specific distance cannot be judged.
The only way to know the distance between White Cloud City and the Raza River is that White Cloud City is roughly in the center of the Raza River and the southern ocean.
Dany and his party walked for five days, about 500 to 600 kilometers, but they did not walk in a straight line, and the starting point was not at the Raza River.
It is estimated that if they walk another 600 kilometers south, they will definitely reach the seaside.
This is good news.
The second good news is that there are two more cities within a hundred kilometers southwest of Baiyun City. Like Baiyun City, they are cities located in the red wasteland.
It should also be like Baiyun City, turning into a dead zone over the years. Because as Dany thought before, the map marked that there was once a river running from the Laza River Basin through Baiyun City and the other two cities. Now the river has completely disappeared.
So Dany has two new "farmlands"?
She regretted slaughtering the lambs too early for the second time, otherwise she could use Baiyun City as farmland and develop the other two cities into pastures, which would be perfect!
Facts proved that she thought too much.
The knights sent the next day found the second and third white cities according to the direction specified by Dany.
Well, like Baiyun City, white walls, white towers, and white buildings. Except that the scale is smaller than Baiyun City, there is almost no difference.
But Jhogo, who led the team out to find the city, told her: "Khaleesi, the nearest city is too weird. There is a circle of iron spears with red rust outside the city wall, and skulls are hung on the tip of the spears.
When the breeze blows, I can hear them making "hahaha" laughter. That is the devil's grin. I dare not go in."
Dany was speechless. You also know that there is wind blowing!
And the devil's grin, if there are real devils, they will also make mocking laughter, laughing at you centaurs for being too timid.
As if noticing that Khaleesi looked unhappy, Jhogo hurriedly took out a black iron bracelet from his pocket, with a thumb-sized fiery red opal inlaid in the center.
The opal is fiery red and bright, natural and uncarved.
"Khaleesi, look, I found it in the second white city."
"It's just an opal, it's worthless." Dany shook her head.
"How can it be worthless?" Jorah wondered, taking the bracelet from Jhogo, and said in a familiar tone, "This opal is bright red, natural, uncut, and not small in size. It is worth at least 5 gold coins in the Free Federation. If the gem is taken off and given to a skilled silversmith to be inlaid on a gold bracelet, the price can be doubled."
As he spoke, the knight's tone sighed, and his rough bearded face was gradually stained with a mixture of sweet and painful memories.
"How can you, a grown man, be so familiar with women's jewelry?" Dany wanted to know his story, so she deliberately guided him.
Jorah looked around at the centaurs who were curiously staring at him, and hesitated without speaking.
Dany looked at her bloodriders and said, "Rakharo, Aggo, each of you select three warriors, two old horse herders, and two women who gather food. Each of you will have three horses and carry enough food and water.
First, go to the third white city in the southwest. Use it as a base and search for places within a day's ride in the south, southwest, and southeast directions.
There are three search targets: town ruins, animals, and possible humans.
Remember, your safety is the most important. If you encounter an animal you don't know, don't try to hunt it. Just write down its appearance and location.
If you meet someone..."
"Can I try to contact it?" she asked the veteran driver Jorah.
Jorah pondered for a moment, "Two people in a group, one goes to communicate, and the other comes back to report."
Dany nodded and said to the centaurs, "Let's do it."
Then she said to Jhogo, who had just returned from the Third White City, "Blood of my blood, although there has been no one here, since we can come, others may also break in here.
I want you to lead two teams of ten to repair the city gate.
We lack stiff and heavy wood, so there is no need to rebuild the wooden door. You can pile up stones in the city gate hole, leaving only a width for a carriage to pass, and then" and then build a small urn behind the city gate.
However, the horse people don't know what a urn is, and even if Dany tells Jhogo, he can't make it.
"Let's do this first."
After the blood guards took the horse people away, Jorah hesitated and said, "Princess, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to live here for the rest of your life?"
