Chapter 154: Old Pillar Field
Laozhutian Village is located in the south of Grayyuan Town, separated from Yakou Village by a large pass, from Yakou Village to Laozhutian, you need to climb along the long ridge, about 15 kilometers away.
Lao Zhutian is crossed by a river called the Xisha River that comes down from an old mountain, and the village is located one or two kilometers on both sides of the river, and there are about 356 households.
The land on both sides of the river is mainly sandy land, and the land used to grow grain in Laozhutian Village is mainly on the flat land between the village and the mountain, and Baishi Mountain is five or six miles away from the north of Laozhutian Village.
"Master, although the terrain here is a little low, it is no problem to stay in a short period of time."
Because of the bad road conditions, many places on the ridge are not suitable for horse-drawn carriages to pass, so everyone can only carefully carry the carts and drive the horses through, and there is a lot of delay on the road. Zhao Yuan has already decided to repair this road.
"Okay, try to choose a place on higher ground to camp, and the village will also arrange for someone to notify you." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.
"Okay."
The camp of more than 1,000 people was very noisy, and Zhao Yuan gathered several stewards, grouped them according to their original positions, and led everyone to camp.
Baishi Mountain is very desolate, there are few trees on the mountain, only some weeds and shrubs grow in some stone depressions, which is very inconvenient for everyone to camp.
"It's already afternoon today, so everyone can only settle for a while, and it's difficult to simply get a place to shelter from the rain."
"It's going to rain like this today, Boss Zhao, what do you think is going to happen now?"
"Yes, the spring rain usually takes several days, I knew that I should have arranged some people to come over to set up the camp first, and what should I do with these injuries?"
"I knew that I would have brought some of the things that the county town had built a shed to come here."
…………
A few stewards went down to make arrangements and found that there were a lot of problems, so they could only ask Zhao Yuan for reaction.
"Don't worry, everyone, in this way, Zhang San, Wang Xi, Ran Lu, Wan Quan, you lead everyone to camp first, Shao Meng, don't be busy with the people of the escort team first, and maintain order in the camp. Guo Du, you come with me to the village to have a look, I hope to find someone in the village to help. Zhao Yuan thought about it and said to everyone.
"My lord, Brother Miao, he should have a way to solve the current problem." Shi Hai of the escort team saw Zhao Yuan frowning, thought about it and said to Zhao Yuan.
"Okay, go and invite him over." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
Shi Hai and a few people went to invite Miao Shijie over, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but be full of expectations for Miao Shijie, although Zhao Yuan also had some experience in building some temporary shelters in the current situation, but for this era, maybe Miao Shijie will have some different methods.
"Your Excellency."
Shi Hai and a few people helped Miao Shijie over.
"How's your injuries going?"
"It's almost good, and I can train with everyone in about ten days at most."
"I heard that you have a solution to the current situation, tell me about it."
"Yes, my lord, our current situation, the main thing is to do a good job of everyone's rain and warmth, like the terrain of Baishi Mountain, there should be a lot of cliffs to form a place to shelter from the rain, so you can find it."
"What if not?"
"Then we can only give priority to the elderly, children and injuries who are relatively thin, and at least ensure that they do not get caught in the rain and cold. Everyone else has to build a big fire, so that everyone has a place to keep warm, it's spring, and it won't rain very hard here, as long as the fire burns strong enough, it won't get wet with rain. ”
"To make a fire, especially to satisfy the heating of so many people, have you thought about how much firewood is needed? There aren't many trees in the area that can be used as firewood, and firewood that has just been cut from the mountains is not easy to burn. ”
"We can go to the village and buy or borrow firewood from the villagers."
……
After a conversation, Zhao Yuan became more and more satisfied with Miao Shijie, not only because he was able to think of some practical methods in this situation, but because he had this kind of thinking that could use his brain at any time.
"Okay, it's not much different from what I thought." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.
"Brother Miao, the adults were about to go to the village just now." Shi Hai said on the side.
"My lord admires." Miao Shijie coughed lightly twice, and said to Zhao Yuan with a fist.
"You're very nice, so if you have any good ideas, you can come to me at any time." Zhao Yuan said with a smile to Miao Shijie, who was about thirty years old.
"Yes."
"You all heard, the people of the escort team go to five, look for cliffs and caves suitable for everyone to camp on the mountain, pay attention to safety, there are many snakes on the mountain at this time."
"Don't put down the construction of the camp, pay attention to collect firewood nearby."
"The logistics team can start cooking together, stew all the meat they brought, and today is our first meal here, so that everyone can eat better."
"The tools needed for labor are also distributed to everyone in accordance with the regulations formulated at the beginning, and each tool has the same number as each person, so we should pay attention to the use of tools and be careful not to damage and lose them."
"The rest of the convoy should be clever and watch out for beast attacks and the maintenance of order in the camp."
…………
Zhao Yuan arranged for a while, and asked Guo Du to drive the carriage and bring some money and grain to Laozhutian Village.
Although Laozhutian Village also belongs to Grayyuan Town, because of the distance between the town and the inconvenient road, there is not much communication with other villages in Grayyuan Town, and there are relatively few people who go to the market in Grayyuan Town.
However, Lao Zhutian Village is more famous in Gray Yuan Town and two nearby towns, because Lao Zhutian has a celebrity, Wang Changjiang.
What is a remodeler, this is a more appropriate name for Shudi, in fact, it is a castration, a craftsman who castrates pigs.
Why is Wang Changjiang famous, not only he has a well-known castration technique, but also he knows some medical skills, fortune telling and feng shui skills, wearing a pair of straw sandals all the year round, wearing a straw hat, wearing a big robe, blowing a horn horn, walking in ten miles and eight towns, is a strange person.
Every time they heard the horn from afar, everyone knew that it was the old Zhutian's Wang Changjiang who came, as long as he shouted loudly, he would say the cut and laugh to the village who needed to castrate the pig, and he didn't ask for how much it cost, one or two pennies, but he had to take away the boar's pig eggs.
"I don't know if Wang Changjiang is not at home, it seems that I haven't seen him for a few years." Zhao Yuan recalled the memories of this original body.
"Master, shall we go to the village to find the old Zhutian Village?"
"No, let's go meet the strange people of Lao Zhutian Village first." Zhao Yuan said mysteriously.
