Liu Muxue spoke: "Axing, besides that, there’s another issue."
"We need to plan the territory’s sewage system in advance. A civilized town must have a qualified underground system."
Cao Xing nodded, "I know about this issue, but the current staff have other work to do, and the territory’s resources are a bit insufficient."
"We’ll have to resolve this later on."
After a pause, Cao Xing continued: "Muxue, you should go rest. I need to check on our yak situation."
Liu Muxue nodded slightly, then returned to the Lord’s Hut.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing went directly to the farm area.
Yesterday, he had brought back a large number of Cloud Yaks and Light Feather Chickens.
After a day, he wondered how they were doing.
A moment later, Cao Xing arrived at the outer area of the territory, in an open field.
This would be the future agricultural breeding area.
Not far away were two fertile fields previously cultivated, along with a well.
In front were six [Intermediate Cowsheds], neatly lined up.
Cao Xing could hear the sounds of the cattle inside and the noisy cries of the Light Feather Chickens from outside.
"It seems these Light Feather Chickens are still not ready to settle down."
Shaking his head, Cao Xing decided to deal with the Light Feather Chickens later.
He first pushed open the door of the middle cowshed.
A burst of warm air mixed with the smell of hay greeted him.
Inside were two figures working diligently.
It was Old Mel and his daughter, Eliza.
The father and daughter were wearing aprons, putting a large amount of hay into the feeding troughs, mixed with a small amount of Moses Grass.
The cattle inside were quite calm, seemingly enjoying the environment in the cowshed.
Seeing Cao Xing approach, Old Mel wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then bowed slightly, "Lord, may you be in good health."
"Good morning, Lord!" Eliza also greeted from the side.
Cao Xing nodded slightly, then said: "Mr. Mel, is it getting too busy for you?"
Old Mel was just about to say he could manage. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on Nove1Fire.net
But the situation in front of him made him a bit embarrassed as he nodded.
"Lord, it’s because I’ve gotten old, and my body isn’t as good as before..."
"If I were younger, taking care of hundreds of yaks alone wouldn’t be a problem..."
Eliza quickly said, "Lord, I’ll help my father, so please don’t worry."
Cao Xing smiled, "Eliza, you are now our territory’s combat personnel, and next, you need to take on the responsibility of defending the territory."
"I’ll arrange for someone else to help your father."
Hearing this, Old Mel and Eliza exchanged a glance.
The young girl asked curiously: "Lord, who will you get to help my father?"
Cao Xing laughed: "It’s Sihua."
Upon hearing the name Sihua, Old Mel’s expression froze.
Before he could react, Cao Xing said.
Then, at the door, a woman in her forties or fifties, dressed in plain cotton clothes, walked in.
Her face was very simple, and she looked like someone very capable and down-to-earth.
She seemed a bit embarrassed, keeping her head down as she entered the cowshed.
Sihua said softly: "Greetings, Lord, Mr. Mel, and Miss Eliza..."
Cao Xing smiled: "Sihua, from now on, you will take care of the cattle with Mr. Mel."
"As you command, Lord..."
At this moment, Old Mel still hadn’t recovered his senses.
He quickly said: "Wait, Lord."
"This, this, this... Is it not quite right?"
