One hundred and two arrived
Shen Xingnan led these people under his command, and it was very difficult to walk for two and a half days before they reached the place. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's not that it's a long way to meet the white pines here, but this road is all mountain roads, and the roads are narrow in many places, so the big guys have to stop and hurry to widen the road, so that the ox carts and horse-drawn carts can pass one by one.
When everyone finally climbed the last hillside, the first thing that caught their eyes was a large open space of about several hundred acres, with many shrubs and trees growing on it.
Further back in the clearing are rolling hills, one of which is not too steep and stands directly in front of the large clearing.
Now they were climbing up the southwest corner of the clearing, and according to the soldiers who had visited the place beforehand and guided them this time, there was a small stream on the east side of the clearing, which was full of water and did not freeze all year round, and beyond the stream was a large meadow.
The air here is fresh, the environment is beautiful, you can see all kinds of wild things from time to time, it seems that the products are also very rich, the only bad thing is that there are no people who are too desolate.
Many people, especially those who had just come to the far north and dragged their families with their families, cried when they saw the scene in front of them.
Even Aunt Cao, who had the benefit of Jia Meimei, couldn't help but scold her mother when she saw the scene in front of her, this was too unexpected for her, and she didn't have time to regret it now? She couldn't help but think.
"Let's sort out a place first, take the family as a unit, and set up camp today, and everyone will have to take action to cut down trees and build houses from tomorrow."
After Shen Xingnan arrived at the place, he immediately assembled his own team and began to order his newly promoted two general banners, Zhang Datie and Ge Giant, as well as the newly promoted military Cao is his second brother Shen Xingxi, and there are also ten small banner drunkards Lao Ding, Hou Hai, Lu Changshan, Feng Xianggui, Zhao Shuncai, Wen He, Chen Jingzong, Li Fu, Du Siwang, and He Congjun.
Let them go down separately to convey and carry out their orders, and arrange all the one hundred and seven regular soldiers under their command in place.
All the small flags were ordered to go down to inform the arrangement, Li Yunbao took Xiao Xing'er to chop out a place with a firewood knife, and leveled the ground with a hoe, and after Shen Xingnan and Xiao Hai came back, the two of them helped set up the tent.
Li Yunbao also specially instructed them to use the oiled paper cloth on the exile road to build the tent high and diagonally outside, Li Yunbao thought that this tent would have to live for a few days, in case it rained, the fire under the oiled paper cloth and cooking would not be wet.
In the tent, Li Yunbao put the two kang cabinets together and stood aside, and the quilt was laid on them, and Li Yunbao was ready to take Xing'er and Brother An to squeeze and sleep here.
Some objects such as large water tanks were placed outside the tent, the donkeys were bolted to the side, and the donkey cart was placed on the side of the fire, so that Shen Xingnan and Hou Hai could sleep at night.
When everything was almost done, Li Yunbao and Xing'er came back with Brother An and Erha to pick up a lot of firewood, and it was getting late, so Li Yunbao was ready to start burying the pot and cooking.
These people who followed Shen Xingnan out of the Shuanglong Pass, except for the three people who had a small family, Zhang Datie, who were eating at home, the other four people all came to their homes to eat, and Li Yunbao was not stingy to make a big pot of vermicelli soup, and also made a lot of multigrain cakes to feed these people.
But I don't know why the second brother and second sister-in-law didn't come to dinner, and even Sister Hai and Brother Ye didn't come, so I guess they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves.
After eating, everyone rested, only Li Yunbao pulled Shen Xingnan to sit next to the fire and talk to him.
"Anan, I have roughly observed our situation before, and I have listened to the situation of the person who led the way, do you think it is okay for me to give you some advice?"
"Okay, tell me about it."
"You see......" Li Yunbao said as he picked up a wooden stick and drew on the ground, as he detailed his thoughts.
"In this case, let's sort out the left hand side of the open space first, that is, we came up, and from tomorrow everyone will cut down wood and build houses, build a row of wooden houses from north to south, let the big guys settle down first, and then we will build a few rows of houses on the north side of the mountain, and the vacant houses here are just for you to make a camp, so that you can not waste and can defend the entrance and exit well."
When Li Yunbao said this, she raised her eyes to look at Shen Xingnan, and when she saw that he nodded to affirm her thoughts, she continued.
"The back of our is a continuous mountain, as long as you set up some traps or something, you can defend well, the west barracks are cliffs and there is no need to do any defense, the east is a stream, and the creek is a large meadow, we can widen the creek and change it into a small river to set up a suspension bridge, in case there is any problem, pull the suspension bridge and it will be over, and finally it is the hillside we climbed up, the terrain is not steep, there are small forests under the hillside, let's cut down trees and set up a high fence in the south......"
"Bao, are you going to occupy the mountain as the king?"
Shen Xingnan listened to his wife talk about the construction safety of the hundred households with relish, and he couldn't help but want to make fun of her.
Li Yunbao was a little furious when he heard him say this, "I'm thinking of danger in times of peace, isn't it just to prevent the Northern Barbarians from crossing the border!" And even if you don't guard against the enemy, it's good to prevent wild beasts for the safety of women and children in this old forest!"
"Well, the idea is good, if you have any suggestions, you can talk about them all." Shen Xingnan now also wants to hear more about his wife's opinion.
Hearing him ask his opinion so solemnly, Li Yunbao scratched his hair, laughed twice and continued to express his opinion.
"We don't have anything to be poor and white, don't waste the bark when you cut wood, measure the size first, and then peel off carefully one by one, this can be used as a tile, and it is not possible to cut thatch and build a roof in early spring. In addition, the winter in the north is long and cold, and our wooden houses must be built with a double storey, and the middle is filled with a mixture of mud and grass, so that it can be well warm. ”
"That's a good idea, I'll tell them to do it early tomorrow morning. Anything else?" Shen Xingnan heard that his wife's idea was good, and he was very moved to agree.
"Also, I have seen people burn bricks and tiles before, and after everyone has initially settled down, we will burn tiles ourselves and build a wooden tile house facing north and south on the side of Beishan, so that everyone can have a home!"
"Well, this one is also very good, but can you burn a good tile? And as far as I know, burning tiles is not your average ......."
"It's simple, I'll look for a chance to go around, find out if there is a suitable soil, as for whether I will see the results when the time comes!"
Li Yunbao pursed her lips and thought in her heart, in order to earn tuition fees in modern times, she worked in that small brick kiln, she didn't dare to say that she would burn porcelain, this brick and tile was a piece of cake.
"It's just that everyone is busy repairing the camp and building houses, so what to do about clearing the wasteland? It's all April, if you don't hurry up the time to open up the wasteland and spring ploughing will pass, what kind of food should be planted in the north, how to plant, I have a black eye, if we don't farm the land, what will so many of us eat in the winter and next year? It's hard to make ends meet with that meager amount of money!"
When Li Yunbao thought of this biggest problem, he was also very worried and annoyed, this is the biggest and most serious problem!
