"Xingcai, please arrange for a few servants to go to the clan library to get some fresh spiritual fruits and broken spiritual food. I want to have a good chat with Qingshan."

Although Qian Zhenlian's tone was calm, he was very happy when his grandson came to visit him, and ordered Qian Xingcai to get the spiritual food spiritual fruit that was broken.

Qian Xingcai responded and immediately turned around and went out to arrange for his servants to get the broken spiritual food fruit.

"Thank you for remembering me as your grandpa and knowing how to come and see me!" Qian Zhenlian said with feigned anger.

"The family has moved to a new clan area. We are busy with construction tasks and are burdened by clan affairs. Now we come to visit grandpa and hope that grandpa will atone for his sins." Lin Qingshan smiled and bowed his hands in salute.

He merged the memories of the two lives and knew that his grandfather was not really angry, but was caring about him.

Qian Zhenlian seemed to have noticed the changes in his grandson. It seemed that after being the head of the family for a period of time, he had matured a lot, and then he said: "Hey, you are the same kid. Why are you traveling so far away? Do you feel that you are destined to die?"

Too hard, do you have to go to the wilderness to find fault?"

"Grandpa is joking. It's not like you don't know Lin's situation. You are forced to have no choice." Lin Qingshan sighed.

Qian Zhenlian frowned after hearing Lin Qingshan's words, patted the armrest of the high chair, and said in a loud voice:

"Why are you forced to do nothing? With grandpa protecting you, are you still afraid of the Wu family?"

When it came to the Wu family, Qian Zhenlian's tone became a little more angry.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The resources in this world are limited and everyone wants them, so conflicts are inevitable.

The Wu family is an emerging family in Pingnan Acropolis, while the Qian family has been rooted in Pingnan for many years and is an established family. Naturally, the two families have competition and even conflicts in many places.

"It's not entirely the fault of the Wu family. There are many opportunities in the wilderness. If the Lin family wants to regain the glory of their ancestors, pioneering is the best way." Lin Qingshan replied.

"Who doesn't know that there are many opportunities in the wilderness, and who doesn't know that there are treasures in the deep mountains and old forests, but look at how many of these concentrating families in Pingnan are willing to open up the wilderness?" Qian Zhenlian said seriously, and after a pause he said:

"You are too young after all. I have seen so many pioneer families in my life. How many of them can establish a foothold in the wilderness?"

This is true. Everyone knows that there are opportunities in the wilderness and there are many ownerless spiritual veins, but few families are willing to apply for a pioneering order from the garrison.

Most families who went to pioneer failed.

"The great beast tide will cause a small disaster in a hundred years and a big disaster in a thousand years. If there is no city defense, how will you withstand it when the time comes?" Qian Zhenlian raised another question.

On the edge of the wilderness, a small-scale beast wave will break out once every hundred years, and a large-scale beast wave will break out once a thousand years.

This is an empirical rule summarized by the human race living on the border over many years. In fact, this may not necessarily be the case, but it is not much different.

Of course Lin Qingshan also understands this. Without city walls, it would be difficult for humans to resist the overwhelming charge of low-level monsters.

In his long-term plan, Lin wanted to build a city, but he did not explain too much to his grandfather.

How difficult is it to build a city?

Pingnan Acropolis was only the lowest level city in the Wei Kingdom, but building such a city would take not one or two years, but tens or hundreds of years.

The manpower and material resources consumed are even more difficult to measure!

As for why it is so difficult to build a city, we have to start with the construction technology of the Lingwu world.

There is no reinforced concrete in Lingwu World, and most of the buildings are brick and wood structures.

Bricks are green bricks made from clay, and the adhesive that binds the bricks is clay that has been treated with glutinous rice water or other sticky plants.

This kind of building is faster to build, but is relatively fragile. It is no problem for daily living, but when the beast tide breaks out, it cannot resist the monsters, so it cannot be used to build city walls.

In order to resist monsters, city walls are usually made of huge stones. The walls built in this way have thick foundations, tall walls, and are very solid overall. Normal monsters can't do anything about them.

But such a city wall also has obvious shortcomings, that is, it is very difficult to build. Mining and moving huge rocks are very difficult, time-consuming, laborious and expensive. An acropolis takes at least tens or hundreds of years to build. As for a larger city, it will cost a lot of money.

It takes even longer.

Therefore, an ordinary family cannot build a city.

The general approach of pioneering families is to choose a location around the clan that is easy to defend but difficult to attack and build a pass.

When the beast tide comes, the people will be withdrawn into the pass, and then the troops will be concentrated to guard the pass wall.

If the pioneer family can establish itself on the edge of the wilderness for a long time, Guan will gradually become a gathering place and form a Guan town. This is how Baihe Town in the upper reaches of the Lin family came to be.

Not far from the Lin clan's land, there is a location suitable for building a pass, and that is Wolong Gorge.

There are tall cliffs on both sides of Wolong Gorge. You only need to select two relatively narrow locations in Wolong Gorge and build two walls to form a very practical guard pass.

When the beast tide comes, you only need to use the terrain to hold two walls to form a shelter.

This is Lin Qingshan’s short-term thinking.

It had only been fifty or sixty years since the last small beast tide, and there was probably no beast tide to break out in a short period of time, so he was not in a hurry to build the border.

In fact, beast tides generally don't break out suddenly. There are some signs before the beast tide breaks out, and it's barely too late to build a pass at that time.

"It has only been a few decades since the last beast tide. There should not be a beast tide in a short time." Lin Qingshan said.

"Yes, during the last beast wave, many towns around Pingnan Acropolis fell, resulting in heavy casualties. If it is no longer possible, you must resolutely abandon your clan territory and retreat to the Acropolis," Qian Zhenlian reminded sternly.

: "Those monsters and beasts will go back after they destroy the spiritual fields. If the spiritual fields are gone, they can be planted again. But if the people are gone, nothing will be left. Don't be confused about the importance then!"

"Let's take it one step at a time. No one can predict the future." After a pause, Lin Qingshan said with a smile: "It is not impossible that Lin will return to the Acropolis one day!"

"It's a good thing that you have this spirit, but if you encounter a beast tide, don't fight to the death, just do as I say!" Qian Zhenlian said solemnly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, Qingshan will remember your teachings!" Lin Qingshan replied respectfully.

At this time, Qian Xingcai led two servants and walked in with several plates of spiritual fruits and broken spiritual food, and placed the plates on the table next to the chairs of several people.

Spiritual fruit is a luxury item in the Lingwu family, and it must be grown with the help of spiritual veins. Spiritual veins are an important strategic resource for every family. Most of the spiritual energy from the spiritual veins has to be used to support the spiritual fields, because the spiritual valley is more cost-effective.

High, the income from planting Spiritual Grain will be greater.

Qian would only serve out spiritual fruits when entertaining distinguished guests. For ordinary guests, he would only serve ordinary fruits. This shows Qian Zhenlian's love for his grandson.

In the past, the Lin family also planted several acres of spiritual fruits. Later, those spiritual fruits and the spiritual veins were given to Wei Town Guards. Now the spiritual veins and spiritual grains on the clan's land are not enough for their own consumption, so naturally they no longer plant spiritual fruits.
