Chapter 64 The Rabbit Nest
The empire's colonization on a planet is comprehensive. The impact of colonization is not only reflected in the simplicity of "there are imperial citizens living on this planet."
As the empire immigrated to the colonies, not only citizens, but also species that came to the new planet with the citizens.
Most of these species that were not originally immigrant planets were introduced to new colonial stars due to economic reasons, such as wheat, cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs. Some species were introduced for special purposes, such as cats, various flowers and horses.
Only the three creatures, rats, fleas and rabbits... were creatures that arrived in Nuozal following the footsteps of immigrants.
During the four hundred years since the Empire expanded its colonial stars, new cash crops have been discovered by the colonists. But most of this development comes from "coincidence". After all, the colonial stars expanded its colonial stars do not exist indigenous people, and there are no enthusiastic Indians who will teach the imperial citizens step by step, "This plant is poisonous" or "This plant is delicious."
Newly discovered cash crops, such as tea, are basically the results of hungry poor people trying their own lives.
Currently, there are surrogate mother teas of a certain scale in Nuosare, which is such a product.
Dusander's goal is very simple now. He is planning to find a rabbit hole and see what plants the rabbit usually likes to eat.
The rabbits have lived in Nusal for more than 170 years, and they are more adaptable to the environment here than humans. Unlike the rabbits of Orin, the rabbits of Bosenk even evolved the habit of building their own nests in order to protect themselves.
Rabbits in other areas often dig tunnels close to one meter deep underground, and continuously expand the size of the tunnel, eventually forming a complex network of underground caves. But in Bosenk, the shallow soil layer here forces rabbits to find another way.
They began to collect sticks and dead grass like their distant relatives. They rely on the bushes that grew on the ground to build a huge and sturdy shelter for themselves.
Such shelter can withstand the attacks of wild dogs wandering in the wasteland and also prevent the attacks of local sea eagles flying in the sky.
There are often more than one rabbit in the huge shelter, and these bushes that look like dry grass from a distance have become the best guide for Dusand to find rabbits.
After finding a rabbit nest, Dusander found a comfortable position and leaned on the hillside. He looked at the rabbit nest in the distance and began to think about the next "work content" in his mind.
After the village is certified as an imperial town, Bosenk's threat to the town will plummet. With police and postman stationed in the town, Bosenk will be directly regarded as a rebellion once he organizes a large-scale attack on the town.
Even if his father couldn't persuade the brigadier general, he wouldn't be able to bring a fleet to slaughter an imperial town.
The town is safe, so is the residents in the town. Dusand promised Fion to be half done.
It is actually not in the agreement between Dusand and Fion, but this is Dusand's "personal hobby".
The remaining half of the content is mainly focused on dealing with Bosenke Fisheries Company.
Fion's hatred for the fishing company even put Dusand on pressure.
The two sides cannot be said to be happy in cooperation, at least they can be regarded as a deep feud.
Although Bosenke Fisheries Company has issued some outsourcing tasks to Fion's village from time to time, in essence, they are still "fishing in sustainability". They have mastered the channels for almost all commodities to enter and exit Bosenke and have the right to price the Bosenke Fisheries Company, which has never thought about letting the poor live well.
Use addictive substances to attract people, use a superior geographical environment and relatively "easy" life to attract people, and then use the difference between high-priced goods and low-priced group fish to harvest the last coin on the poor.
To use the word "unemotion" to describe Bosenke Fisheries Company as an extremely tolerant and generous statement. Feien hated Bosenke Fisheries Company very much.
Killing this organization and organization that had been entrenched in Bosenk for 122 years would allow Dusand to gain great trust and even loyalty from Fion. It would also bring a brand new town and a considerable tax to the empire.
Although the lives of the poor will not be greatly improved immediately, at least no Bosenke Fisheries Company has exploited them. They will have a better life.
Another win-win-the poor are happy, Fion is happy, the empire is happy, even Dusander himself is happy, and only Bosenke Fisheries Company is injured in this world.
Perfect.
Dusander held a grass stick in his mouth and squinted his eyes at the rabbit nest in the distance. In fact, these rabbit nests are also a good source of fuel. Although dead grass and small branches are not burned, they are better than none. Maybe after returning to the village, you can try to teach the villagers primitive technologies such as wood fired stoves? Cooking grass from nearby rabbit nests to burn them at least to warm them up.

"Captain Fein, someone is looking for you." Fein was wiping a gun in his room. Several thin kids with snots broke into his broken house noisily, and described what he saw at Fein, "There is such a big carriage!" "There is an old man here!" "The beard is all white!" and "The hair on his head is not much!"
Based on the children's description, Fion couldn't figure out who was coming. But this did not prevent him from sending the two children to get Dusand back first.
"Go and call back the little boy I tied up the day before yesterday - he should be looking for a rabbit nest outside." Fein quickly put the gun in his hand, pulled the sleeve and finished loading, closed the security and put the gun in his pants pocket, and asked, "Where is the old man you are talking about?"
"On the Tom's house!" Several children automatically divided the labor. Those who ran fast went to call Dusander, while those who ran slowed were surrounded by Feen, chattering about the situation they saw.
It was only a few minutes away from Fion's house to "Tom's house". When Fion arrived, the old man in a well-dressed suit was already waiting under the carriage.
The suit was exquisite and the leather shoes on his feet were shiny. But the old man with not much hair on his head did not have a particularly obvious "dislike" of this muddy village like other "visitors" from Bosenk. He stood on the muddy ground, not caring about the muddy spots on his shiny leather shoes. He even smiled kindly at the children who were curiously looking at him and the steam carriage.
