I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 183 Dinner

Had a very pleasant nap time,

In the afternoon, Siegfried sent someone to invite them to his house for dinner.

Julian readily accepted the appointment, chose a gift with Owen, and came to the door early.

Siegfried's home is in Xicheng District, just near the military port. Most of the people living in that area are members of the navy. When Julian and the others passed by, they often saw a large number of uniformed soldiers coming and going.

Julian and Owen are walking on the street, and they can often feel a lot of eyes on them. People here are very wary of strangers, which makes Julian very puzzled.

Siegfried had asked people to wait for them at the gate early, and when he saw them coming, he quickly welcomed them into the yard.

Judging by his status as a brigadier general, the yard is a bit small, but it is kept very clean. The front and back yards have been reclaimed and various vegetables have been planted.

When Julian and the others entered the backyard, Siegfried just put down the kettle to wipe his sweat. When he saw them, he smiled and said, "I made you laugh. Haha, it's just a hobby."

Hobby is farming?

Julian's eyes lit up slightly, and he calmly changed the gift he had prepared temporarily, and replaced it with farm tools from his own territory.

"This is the farm tool produced in my territory, and it is the most suitable for farming."

"Oh?" Siegfried was taken aback for a moment, apparently he did not expect Julian to send such a gift.

He has been ridiculed many times for his strange hobby of growing vegetables, but this is the first time someone has given him such a gift.

He even wondered if Julian had inquired about him in advance, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible. With a big backer like Owen standing behind him, Julian could almost walk sideways in Alisa City, and he didn't need to come at all. Please yourself a little commodore.

"Then I won't be polite." Siegfried took the farm tool and fiddled with it for a while, the more he fiddled with it, the more delicate it became.

He was born in a commoner, and spent a period of time in an orphanage when he was very young. Although he was adopted by his adoptive father, his life was very ordinary. His hobby of growing vegetables was developed during the time he lived with his adoptive father. Yes, at that time, the money earned by the adoptive father was used to pay for all kinds of living expenses, and the food could only be simplified as much as possible. Brown bread was enough to eat, but if it was just black bread, whoever ate it would know how it tasted. .

Fortunately, the yard of their house is relatively large. In order to supplement his nutrition, his adoptive father specially opened up a small vegetable field and planted many small green vegetables. It was at that time that he learned to grow vegetables.

Watering and fertilizing every day, watching the tender green leaves grow up little by little, and finally turned into delicacies on the table, he doesn't know what others think, but he likes that sense of accomplishment very much.

The reason why I say so much is mainly to prove that Brigadier General Siegfried is an excellent soldier and also an excellent vegetable farmer. If he hadn't joined the army to treat his adoptive father, perhaps what we see today is a Siegfried the King of Vegetables!

"This thing..." Siegfried looked at these agricultural tools carefully, couldn't put it down, and directly dropped his guests, and started digging twice in the vegetable field.

The corner of the servant's eyes twitched, and he had to remind his master that the guest was still watching...

"Oh, that's right..." Siegfried apologized awkwardly, with a slightly excited expression on his face.

From these few agricultural tools, he saw a lot. Since these tools can be used to grow vegetables, they can also be used to cultivate other crops.

As a military and commercial seaport, Alisa City has a large population. Although the fishery here is developed, there is a big gap in food crops. A large amount of food is imported from other places every year. The local agriculture is extremely backward. There is a large amount of farmland outside the city, but it cannot be reclaimed due to lack of labor.

If these tools can be used to reclaim the land, the harvested food may be able to achieve self-sufficiency.

Siegfried is a soldier, and he is used to thinking about things from the military point of view. In fact, Alisa City does not lack food, because it can be imported from other places, but what he is worried about is that once a war breaks out and the business road is hijacked, they will be short of food. Cities would be in trouble immediately.

No one wants to go to war on an empty stomach, so the entire Admiralty has always wanted to solve the food problem. What's more, for some unspeakable reasons, the annual expenditure of the Admiralty on food is twice that of ordinary civilians. Times, those bosses in the Ministry of the Navy lost their temper a lot because of this, but what can they do?Who told you that the food grown in Alisa City is not enough?

If you can spread these tools out...

Thinking of this, Siegfried couldn't help but frowned. What Alisa City really lacks is actually farmers. As long as the salary earned by working here is higher than that of farming, then there will be no more workers in one day. Many people go to farm.

After all, those ordinary people don't care what kind of threats your army will face due to lack of food, they only know to live their own lives.

"Alas..." Siegfried sighed, feeling that this matter is a deadlock, and there is no way to solve it.

Julian asked curiously. It was no secret that Alisa City did not produce food, so Siegfried directly expressed his distress.

After hearing his words, Julian fell into deep thought. Owen knew almost nothing about these things like territory construction, so he gave up after thinking about it casually.

Seeing that Julian was thinking seriously, Siegfried couldn't help but smiled, and he patted his head: "Look at me, what are you talking about, come on, come on, it's not time for dinner, let's have a cup of tea first, The tea here was snatched from the general last time, don't tell me, even though I don't know how to drink tea, I still think this tea is very fragrant."

"Actually... it's not impossible to solve it." Julian touched his chin and said.

"What?" Siegfried was stunned for a moment.

"I said, in fact, your problem can be solved, but I don't know if my method can be used."

Siegfried looked at Julian in surprise. This handsome boy gave him too many surprises, but he didn't think that the other party could help them solve this problem. After all, this problem has existed for a long time, and so many people have not solved it. Could it be that he can come up with a solution just by thinking a little bit?

Julian was not surprised that Siegfried didn't believe it. In fact, he just thought of an ancient method in the past. As for whether this method can be used, it depends on how well their navy manages soldiers.

Yes, I believe someone has already guessed it, and the suggestion Julian wants to make is - Tuntian.

There is no shortage of people in Alisa City, what is lacking is people who are willing to farm.

Without the promotion of sufficient interests, it is impossible for the Navy Department to force ordinary people to help them farm, so they fell into this predicament that no one can use.

In fact, their thinking is correct, because in their eyes, soldiers are soldiers, and they should do some things that soldiers should do, such as war; but Julian's thinking angle is completely different from theirs, thinking about what the Chinese army did back then. There are too many things to do, what disaster relief, emergency rescue, didn't you row across the army and rush to the front?So when a certain problem needs to be solved, the first thing Julian thinks of is the army.

On the way here just now, he saw a lot of soldiers, which proves from the side that there are really a lot of soldiers here. Since there is no war breaking out, these soldiers can take turns to be on duty. Come out, and those who see enough benefits will naturally follow up.

To say that he has a keen sense of smell, what Julian admires the most are those businessmen. He is confident that as long as someone sees the functions of these farm tools, they will come to him soon without any publicity.

Julian didn't know much about farming, but it was enough for him to use it. After all, the point of this thing is to form an army in wartime and farm in leisure time.As long as you have soldiers and enough land, the implementation of the Tuntian plan will be very simple.

Julian just gave a general idea, which was enough for Siegfried's eyes to shine, and he was even able to add some things from time to time in what Julian said, and those things were obviously more suitable for local development.

"Great, this idea is really great!" Siegfried's excited cheeks were slightly flushed, and that slightly ordinary face added a touch of strange style.

On the basis of Julian, he quickly constructed a plan that was more suitable for the development of the navy, and various details were added. After a while, a fairly complete plan was formed.

Julian had nothing to do after finishing what he knew, and could only watch Siegfried pacing back and forth excitedly, continuing to perfect his plan.

Later, his servant couldn't stand it anymore, and risked his life, he pulled his master's sleeve vigorously, signaling that it was time to eat.

"What else is there to eat!" Siegfried said excitedly, "This is a great thing that can change the structure of the navy. How could I still be in the mood to eat...uh..."

At this time, he finally thought of the two of Julian who were invited to dinner, smiled a little embarrassedly, and decisively signaled the servants to prepare the car, and then said to them: "Let's go! In order to thank you for such a good Suggestion, I must take you to eat something good!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to grab Julian's hand, but was frozen by Owen's cold eyes, and he could only touch his nose and walk in the front in a dingy manner.

The corners of Julian's mouth twitched. Brigadier General Siegfried was obviously a taciturn person when he first met him, but he unexpectedly turned out to be a chatterbox in private.

He couldn't help muttering in his heart: Is this why people should not be judged by their appearance?

After getting into Siegfried's carriage, Siegfried said to the coachman, "Go to the mansion of General Alva!"

The carriage ran quickly, but Julian and Owen couldn't help but look at each other, their expressions could not hide their shock.

They have been in Alisa City for two days, and they have also inquired about a lot of news. The details may not be so detailed, but they have some understanding of the biggest forces in the city.

Among them, as the most representative naval department, their leader is the Admiral Alva in Siegfried's mouth.

Owen Diary:

That Siegfried guy is really interesting, and he actually looks like this in private.

However, this accident brought us great benefits. Siegfried took us directly to find Admiral Alva. This will have indescribable benefits for the future development of Julian and me in this city. .

Well, for the sake of that, I'm not going to bother him trying to pull Julian's hand.

The general's tea is obviously very ordinary, but that guy Siegfried said it was very fragrant?Heh... lick the dog!
