Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 302
Standing on the top of the mountain, Jing Yi used her abilities to clean up a lot of obstructive trees growing on the mountain, and the big tree Jing Yi directly put it into the lucky bag.She used the power of plants to roughly level the ground of the mountain and then let the ground be covered with weeds.

When people come, the weeds will be much easier to clean up than the big trees.

Jing Yi also discovered that this mountain is not a pure stone mountain, but a dirt mountain.It is estimated that it was formed slowly by the movement of the earth's crust.

Jing Yi roughly dealt with the big trees on the top of the hill and used his abilities to clear out a path that the carriage could probably pass when walking towards their temporary camp.She put all the big trees blocking the way into the blessing bag, and then let a layer of grass grow on the ground.

Although this mountain road is difficult to travel by carriage, it can be walked after being leveled.

When there are more people, you can slowly repair the road, at least you can take the carriage smoothly in the future.

Jing Yi returned to the camp in the evening and announced to everyone that she had found a good place to settle down.

Everyone was very happy to hear it.Most of this team are refugees who were taken in by Jing Yi.They all hope to have a stable place to settle down, where they can grow fields, raise some chickens and ducks, and support their families.And Jing Yi happens to be able to provide them with these.Jing Yi also became the backbone of them.

Mei Huanzhang asked Jing Yi carefully about the place he found, and nodded after listening to Jing Yi's advantages in various aspects: "Yiyi, you are very thoughtful, so that we can be self-sufficient in the future and grow ourselves with peace of mind. No one will find out."

Jing Yi said: "Uncle, this place is closer to the sea. The valley I found can be seen after walking a short distance to the sea. Uncle, we can make our own salt by the sea, so that we don't have to worry about having no salt to eat in the future." .And in the future, if the amount of salt produced is large, we can sell it, which is a profitable business.”

Mei Huanzhang looked around and whispered, "Yiyi, do you really have a way to make salt?"

Jing Yi smiled and said: "Uncle, I can tell you clearly that the salt produced by my method is no less than the fine salt eaten by those high-ranking officials. How much do you think fine salt costs per catty today? Do you think it is in vain? Huahua's silver waved to us again?
Even if we leave here in the future, we can use this place as a secret salt-making base. Seawater is inexhaustible, so the salt produced from seawater is also immeasurable. "

Mei Huanzhang said: "Hearing what you said, now I feel more at ease. As long as we can make salt, then we don't have to worry about it in the future. Your revenge will go much smoother."

In ancient times, salt was in the hands of the imperial court, and private individuals were not allowed to sell salt, and it was difficult for private individuals to obtain large amounts of salt.But salt has never been worry about selling.

After resting for a night, Jing Yi took everyone to the place she chose.

Because of the preparations made in advance, although it was difficult to walk with a horse-drawn carriage, more than a dozen people along the way took tools to level the road ahead a little, and the carriage could barely walk.

Finally, because the carriage was too bumpy, everyone got out of the carriage and walked.

Jing Yi walked beside her mother and helped her to walk, looking at the carriage in front of her, she said, "It will be fine to fix this road after you settle down."

Mei Huanzhang said: "It's good to have a road that can be walked."

The group walked for half a day, and finally arrived at the place Jing Yi chose in the afternoon.

Mei Huanzhang looked at the not-too-high hill, although it was covered with weeds, but it looked fairly flat, so he nodded, "It's not bad here, let's tidy it up, and it will be fine when we build a house."

After walking all morning, everyone was hungry, so they immediately set up the pot to cook.

Everyone did not rest after lunch, and immediately started to clean up the weeds.

Jing Yi had already prepared the tools, and there were about twenty strong laborers at this time, and women and children could also work.

This is everyone's future home, so everyone is very motivated to do it.

Jing Yi asked everyone to put the weeds that had been cleared up in the open space to dry, and it was useful after drying.

Jing Yi directed everyone to level the place where the house was built, and then sent a dozen people with axes, saws and other tools to cut down trees.

They don't have bricks and tiles now, so they can only build mud houses and wooden houses first.It is located in the south, and it will not be too cold in winter. It is no problem to build a wooden house to live in.

There is also a bamboo forest nearby, so it is also possible to build a bamboo house.

Among the refugees Jing Yi took in were carpenters and masons. Most people knew a little bit about the work of masons, and building houses would not be a problem for them at all.

A few days later, Jing Yi made a few moulds for mopping the adobe, cut the dried weeds into sections, and then took people to the stream to mop the adobe with mud.

The mud mixed with hay was made into rectangular blocks of adobe.A knowledgeable person stretched out his thumb to Jing Yi and said, "Missy is the best, so we can build as many houses as possible."

Jing Yi said: "The house we built uses stones as the foundation, and adobe and wood are combined on top of the stones, so that the house is not only strong, but also warm in winter and cool in summer. Our house can be built soon.

Although the house we build is not very luxurious, we can build it more spacious. Each family will divide a piece of foundation according to the population. We will build the main house first, so that everyone can have a place to live, and then we will slowly build wing rooms, and then surround them. courtyard.

Every family has a front and back yard, and they can raise pigs, chickens and ducks in the future.When we open up wasteland and grow food under the mountain, we will be self-sufficient.

In the future, we can absorb more people and gradually expand our territory.We train our own guards to protect our own homeland.No one will try to bully us in the future. "

Listening to Jing Yi's imagination, everyone is full of hope for the future.

In the evening, Jing Yi took Song Yuancheng and several teenagers to hunt in the forest.Song Yuancheng's archery skills have been practiced very well now, and every time he shoots an arrow, he will never miss it.Jing Yi never missed a shot.

Soon the back baskets of several teenagers were filled with prey such as pheasants and hares.In the end, Jing Yi also hunted down a half-sized wild boar.

Song Yuancheng carried the wild boar back with a boy.

Everyone saw that the eldest lady came back after hunting wild boars, so they hurried over to kill the pigs, and they could eat stewed wild boars at night.

There are many wild animals in Cangmu Mountain, Jing Yi and the others will go hunting every two or three days, so during this period of time, there is no shortage of meat for everyone.Although the work is tiring, but the food is good, and people who used to be thin have grown a lot stronger.

If there is meat to eat food, it will be slower to eat food, but the food that Jing Yi and the others brought before is not much, Jing Yi is going to go out and take some food from the lucky bag to bring back.

Jing Yi was watching people slaughtering pigs, and when she smelled the wild boar's blood, she suddenly felt sick, and finally couldn't help but ran under a big tree and vomited.

Everyone was dealing with the prey, but they didn't pay much attention to Jing Yi's movement behind them.But Mrs. Liu was by her daughter's side, and when she saw her daughter running away suddenly, she quickly followed her.
