Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 154 Trimming
When Li Lijun took Mrs. Shao and Erhong into the forest farm that once belonged to the Dou family, there was almost no one there.Except for the two old servants guarding the gate, everyone else was summoned to Saga Bieye.According to the order from the two mothers Cui and Lu, everyone except the porter must be present.

Li Lijun walked in the empty manor attached to the forest farm, feeling quite at ease, and didn't need to worry about being seen casting spells by unsuspecting outsiders.

With her current level of mana, she can control three little paper cranes at the same time. Now they are all flying out, flying to different areas of the forest farm, acting as her eyes to inspect various situations.Her time was limited, and she took two people with her. Of course, it was impossible to visit the entire forest farm. She needed to save time and find a suitable location in advance.

Mrs. Shao grabbed the handkerchief tightly and said worriedly: "Little lady, what exactly do you want to do in this forest farm? Just leave the heavy work to the subordinates. The nuns will arrange it. You really don't have to worry about it."

Li Lijun looked back at her helplessly: "I just went to my property for a while. Don't worry, nurse, I know it." After that, she subconsciously glanced towards the top of Sitai Peak, only to see It was emerald green, full of ungrown trees, no caves, and no huge toads, but she still couldn't help being vigilant.

She took a quick tour of the living quarters at the foot of the forest farm.Except for some luxury houses built for the masters of Dou's family, the other living facilities are actually quite simple.In addition to growing timber, this forest farm is also used as a hunting ground in summer. The owners come here to escape the heat and have fun, but they don't hold a big banquet here, as long as they have a place to live.The houses where the servants live are quite simple. Except for the steward who has a small brick house to live in, the others basically live in wooden houses, and some of them live in cave dwellings.

After the forest farm changed hands, the remaining servants basically lived in cave dwellings, so the small yards of brick houses and wooden houses could be freed up to arrange for people brought by Li Lijun, but the number was limited.Among them, wooden houses are not very livable in winter, so it is better to arrange your own people in brick houses as much as possible.

Li Lijun looked around the cave dwellings that are still inhabited, and found that the maintenance is not bad, but there is no kang, and it is estimated that it is not very popular in Sanyuan.Today's Guanzhong area has a warm and humid climate, which is quite different from the Guanzhong she had seen in the world of the Republic of China.But even so, the weather is quite cold in winter.Li Lijun feels that it is necessary to promote various cold-proof facilities in his own industry.

But where people live, she doesn't need to move for the time being.After leaving the two rows of cave dwellings, she continued to climb up to the edge of the living area.Going up from here is the boundary of the forest farm.There will only be trees, flowers, and various animals.Although most of the useful trees have been cut down, there are still some miscellaneous trees and shrubs that cannot be used as building materials.

There are also a few rows of cave dwellings in this area, but they are all old. It is estimated that they have been abandoned for a long time. When I got closer, I found that there were collapses inside. Traces of domesticated animals.Seeing this, Mrs. Shao quickly persuaded Li Lijun: "Little lady, don't get too close, and be careful not to get hit on the head by earth and rocks!"

Li Lijun waved his hand: "It's okay. This is the kind of place I'm looking for."

She used magic to strengthen the inner walls of the two rows of cave dwellings, which not only prevented the loess from continuing to collapse, but also ensured that these cave dwellings would not be in danger of roof collapse in the next 30 years.In fact, it's not impossible for her to make the effect of not collapsing for 50 or 100 years, but it's unnecessary. It can't make people feel that these cave dwellings are obviously different, right?

By the way, she also repaired the interior of each cave, some added door openings that communicate with the next cave, some made window sills, door frames and so on, and also made earth kang and stove by the way. After the window panes and doors are installed, you can move in with your bags.She also adjusted the platforms in front of the two rows of cave dwellings, and built small earthen walls to divide them into small courtyards.

Finally, she erected a half-person-high earth wall ten meters behind the two rows of cave dwellings.The wall is very simple, that is, it simply blocks small animals and prevents them from easily entering the living area of ​​the forest farm.But with such a wall, people in the forest farm can repair the wall by themselves in the future, heighten and strengthen it.

She reserved a door opening for the low wall, and prepared to install the door panel in the future, with a special person to hold the key, so that people in the forest farm would not run up the mountain at every turn, which is not conducive to closing the mountain for forest cultivation, and is also prone to danger.

Behind the low wall, after some distance, she drilled an earthen pit on the hillside in preparation for planting trees in the future.Now that it was just her and her two confidants, she buried a silver-leaf-engraved charm in the bottom of the pit.When the trees are planted, combined with the runes she engraved, the simple protective wall of civil and engineering in the living area of ​​the forest farm is completed.No matter what exists on the mountain, it is not so easy to come down the mountain and do evil.Even if some supernatural phenomena happened down the mountain, the things on the mountain were not so easy to detect.

In the future, she will collect a few more spiritual objects, or refine a few more magic weapons, and upgrade the simple protective wall to a large intermediate-level protective formation, so that the safety factor of the people in the forest farm will be higher.

When Li Lijun finished these tasks, he saw someone returning to the gate of the forest farm from a distance.She greeted Mrs. Shao and Erhong: "Let's go back."

Mrs. Shao just watched Li Lijun cast spells all the way, and recited the Buddha all the way, and now she has calmed down, she nodded calmly: "It's getting late, back to Bieye, just in time for dinner."

Erhong was more excited than Mrs. Shao, and she was still a little curious: "Little lady, what kind of formation is this... you just made? Can it really stop the beasts coming down the mountain?"

Li Lijun smiled: "This kind of forest farm that has been run by powerful people for decades, what beasts can there be? At most, it is just pheasants and yellow sheep. However, a large number of trees in the forest farm have been cut down, which may affect the stability of the soil and water. What if when? What should I do if there is a mudslide on the mountain in the next heavy rain? My protective wall can somewhat shield it. But if the scale of the mudslide is too large, this half of the wall will probably not be able to do anything about it. Therefore, someone needs to continue to heighten and strengthen the wall later. Then replant trees on the mountain, just in case. After the replanting of trees is completed, people can no longer be easily released up the mountain, and the mountain must be closed for forestation. This protective wall not only protects against things on the mountain, but also prevents things below the mountain. people."

Mrs. Shao and Erhong immediately understood, and they all responded.

One master and two servants were walking down the mountain. On the way, they met two old slaves left behind by the Dou family, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Li Lijun.Li Lijun politely returned the gift: "Please, old man."

The two old slaves were pleasantly surprised to see that she was gentle and not arrogant like the people in the Duke's Mansion, and hurriedly talked about the preferential treatment they received when they were called to see the two nuns in charge, and how the nuns let them The good news that the old men have all moved to live in brick houses on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain. They are so grateful to the new owner Li Lijun who has given them everything, and wish they could kneel down and kowtow a few times.

Li Lijun hurriedly avoided their ceremony, and said: "I intend to replant trees on the mountain, plant some medicinal materials and spices, and then close the mountain to cultivate forests. Except for the deacon, the rest are not allowed to go up the mountain without authorization. In the future, the old people should pay more attention. Be careful, don't let idle people go up." She turned her head and pointed to the direction of the mountain, "Someone will come to build the wall and install the gate soon. I will tell the old man in advance, so you don't need to panic at that time."

Don't panic, this is good news!The new owner is willing to put his heart into running the forest farm. The old slaves can only be happy, so why panic?
