It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 126

"Tear down and rebuild?" Gao Feihu frowned and said, "Is this necessary, aren't we doing well now?"

"What is good? Fighting separately, you can only be defeated by each other. Only when they are united can their strength be great and their fists be ruthless."

"Wouldn't it be enough for everyone to move to Toad Village?" Gao Feihu asked.

"Toad Village is too small."

Cheng Dalei sighed. In fact, Cheng Dalei has always had the idea of ​​choosing a place to rebuild the cottage. The topography of Hajiling has natural disadvantages and is not suitable for future development. At least 5,000 people live in, and Toad Ridge will not be able to accommodate it. Toad Ridge is a mountainous area, and there is too little land for cultivation. To be promoted to the third-level cottage, there is one condition that must be met, that is, the cottage has a farmland of 1,000 mu.

Therefore, finding a place and rebuilding a cottage is an arrow on the string, and it is not something that will not happen.

Cheng Dalei and Gao Feihu talked about the location of the cottage. At least Gao Feihu was familiar with the local terrain.

The location of the new cottage must meet several conditions: 1. There must be a source of water, water is the source of life, and without water, everything else is nonsense; 2. The terrain must be easy to defend and difficult to attack, so as to ensure the safety of the cottage; 3. Traffic must be It is convenient. If you press the cottage on the top of the mountain, it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if a horse cannot ride it, it will be blind. Fourth, there must be a large number of fields suitable for farming. In this era, agriculture is still the first, and Cheng Dalei also You can't make food out of thin air.

With such a huge Qingniu Mountain, it is easier said than done to find a place that can satisfy these four requirements at the same time. Cheng Dalei didn't do anything else in the past few days, and turned more than 50 cottages in Qingniu Mountain. Everyone warmly welcomed Cheng Dalei's arrival.

Of course, eating Cheng Dalei's food, how could he disrespect Cheng Dalei.

The location of these cottages could not meet Cheng Dalei's requirements. It seems that these people did not consider the geographical location when choosing the location.

Qingniu Mountain is 50 miles in diameter, can't you really find a suitable place?

Cheng Dalei did not give up, he continued to take Lin Shaoyu and Xu Shenji around the mountain. He has a topographic map of Qingniu Mountain, which is still rewarded by the system. He followed the map to find the place he liked.

"Master, let's go back, this snow-covered mountain, if you can't step on it well, you will fall into the cliff."

"Don't go back!" Cheng Dalei pointed out: "Let's go there!"

"Go there, it's so high, it's going to fall off accidentally, and you'll fall to your death."

The place Cheng Dalei pointed to was the main peak of Qingniu Mountain, called Niujiao Peak, which was also the highest place in the entire Qingniu Mountain.

On a normal schedule, Dalei never thought to climb up, but today was the first time, the road was slippery in the cold weather, and Cheng Dalei was also careful. However, Xu Shenji has already had the reverse poisonous milk, and Cheng Dalei is not too worried.

After a lot of twists and turns, the three climbed the Niujiao Peak before it was dark. Climbing high and looking into the distance, the setting sun shines obliquely, and the terrain of the entire Qingniu Mountain can be seen in Cheng Dalei's eyes.

The entire Qingniu Mountain is like a lying down buffalo.

"Zi Qi comes from the east, looks south to Jingzhou, the four hoofs are in the water, and when you see the wind, you get angry." Xu Shenji sighed: "Qingniu Mountain is really good feng shui!"

"Hey, the strategist still understands Feng Shui?" Cheng Dalei said in disbelief.

"Ha, I look up at the astronomy and look down at the geography. As for the feng shui trail, I only understand a little." Xu Shenji said.

"Hey!" Cheng Dalei couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "This wave is full of marks!"

Looking from east to west, Cheng Dalei's eyes stayed on the ground, and the position where his eyes fell was a valley.

"I found it." Cheng Dalei threw a stone and said with a smile: "The purple energy is coming from the east, it is Wang Xingzhi, and when you see the wind, it is to stir up the situation in all directions. Where we are going, it is there!"

Xu Shenji gave a thumbs up: "Master, you get full marks!"

"so so."

...

The next morning, Cheng Dalei invited Gao Feihu, Xiao Bailang, Xu Shenji and others to the valley.

The whole valley is in the shape of a gourd, and the mouth of the valley can accommodate eight horses in parallel, but the space after walking in is huge. It can accommodate 5,000 people to live in, and it is not a problem to cultivate another 1,000 acres of land.

The valley is full of towering trees, and there are trees that cannot be carried by one person. One advantage of this era is that the forest coverage rate is high, and tigers and black bears are not uncommon in the primeval forest.

At the bottom of the valley is a river that runs through the mountains. Of course, the river is frozen in this weather. It has been drought this year, and there is not much water in the river.

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are water sources and farmland that can be reclaimed, but the traffic location is a bit far from the official road.

However, there is no perfect thing in the world, and it is already extremely good to meet all three conditions at the same time.

"Big boss, you can't build a cottage here." Xu Shenji suddenly ran over.

"Why?" Cheng Dalei asked strangely.

"This year's drought, and there is not much water in the river." Xu Shenji said: "But next year, this may not be the case. When the spring snow melts, God is raining a few times, and the flood will flood in here."

"Is this..." Cheng Dalei thought for a while and said, "But it's not a big problem. Let's dig the ditch deeper and let the water drain out, forming a moat just outside the valley."

Once the location is settled, the next step is to start building the cottage. The winter in Youzhou is very long, and these people are bored when they are idle, so let them do something to pass the long winter.

First, a fire was thrown into the valley, and now it is winter, which is exactly the four words of dryness and dryness. The fire burned for ten days and ten nights, turning the forest to ashes. The wild beasts in the valley were smothered by the fire and rushed out madly. Everyone waited for the rabbit in Taniguchi, and they really caught a tiger.

It was the first time that Cheng Dalei had tasted tiger meat, and it was indeed... not very tasty.

Cheng Dalei owns the drawings of the third-level cottage, but in his mind, Cheng Dalei can't draw, and he can't draw it in his head. However, there was Liu Zhi by his side, a girl of this era, picking up piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as if to play.

Cheng Dalei said that Liu Zhi's painting, after several revisions, was almost the same as the drawing in Cheng Dalei's mind.

At this time, Huang Sanyuan came in handy again and assumed the role of commander-in-chief. Under his command, houses rose from the ground: a medical hall, a granary, an armory, a residence...

All the materials needed were the houses of other cottages. Five thousand people invested in this project, but the progress of the project was also fast.

Naturally, the point of the Toad Village moved over at the first time.

The project is in full swing, and if you want to complete it completely, it cannot be done in a day or two. When everyone was busy, Cheng Dalei's fear value had accumulated to 100,000.
