Chapter 1182: Giving birth to a daughter

Lin Jue waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Liang, you are not at home, you don't know the difficulties, but I understand that Commander Qin is in charge of the affairs of the logistics battalion, which is her responsibility." Commander Qin, don't worry, you don't have to worry about the silver. Although my Lin family hasn't earned much silver in the past few years, the silver they brought this time is also some. One hundred thousand taels of silver can still be taken out. And don't forget, how can the prince not pay money? I'm going to talk to them about it tonight. What war is there without money? Although I overturned a few silver carts and lost some gold and silver property in order to escape from Beijing, as far as I know, most of the precious jewelry, calligraphy and paintings are not in those cars. At this time, they will definitely take it out. Don't get me wrong, I think I can't afford to spend that silver, the Shenwei General Cannon is just not cost-effective, and the cost of silver is a little too cost-effective. This swarm of bees is different, this thing can turn the tide of the battle, and it is super cost-effective. Don't say that we have silver flowers, even if we don't have silver, we have to make it by smashing pots and selling iron. Let's not live by slamming the door, but calculating to live. The flower must be spent, the province must be saved. ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, since Lin Jue said so, what were they worried about? In fact, no matter from which aspect, the palace should take out all the family property as military expenses, but this is for him Guo's work, how can he not pull out a dime, just shouting slogans. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

……

The finalization of the matter of the arms workshop can be regarded as a major event in Lin Jue's heart. Although the whole Funiu Mountain is thriving, in fact, many things are waiting to be done. The mountains are a small world, but they are no different from the world outside. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, and the degree of complexity of affairs is generally the same.

Although Lin Jue is mainly concerned with military affairs, he must also take ideas for the construction of the mountains. Moreover, many things are not divided between military and civilian, and they seem to be related to people's livelihood, but they are actually military. For example, when the rice fields in the valley are in the flowering season, countless moths and insects fly to eat them, although this is an agricultural matter, but it is obviously related to the military. The grain harvest in Luoyan Valley determines the source of military rations and determines how many soldiers and horses can be raised. This is no small matter.

In response to this problem, Lin Jue had to actively deal with it with Gao Muqing and find a solution. There were no pesticides these days, and the catch of snakes, frogs and egrets obviously could not withstand the outbreak of moths and flying insects. So Lin Jue experimentally carried out a light capture test. Later generations Lin Jue knew that there was such a way to hunt and kill, which was to lure these flying insects with lights. So Lin Jue relied on his memory and imagination to make a few wind lantern moth traps. The people felt that it was unreliable, and they felt that Lord Lin was a little whimsical. But the next morning, they saw a stunned scene. The grid under the moth trap lamp is full of moths and flying insects, and the dense density makes people's scalp tingle. Thousands of moths and flying insects flew in, eventually trapped in a fine grid, unable to escape.

This method worked, so the entire water and dry fields in the valley of the wild goose became like stars in the Milky Way overnight, and the lights were dotted. After three days, the number of moths and insects had decreased significantly, and a crisis was averted. The people admired Lin Jue's five-body throw, and many people understood the habit of moths fighting fires, but they would never have thought of using them to catch insects.

In addition to this kind of thing, the transportation between the villages in the mountains is also a headache. This matter is actually very important, both for military dispatch and for the migration of civilians. The terrain in the Funiu Mountain is steep, with a radius of dozens of miles, and there are more than 30 large and small peaks. The woods are dense, the canyons are deep, the cliffs are steep, and the thorns are crisscrossed. It is extremely difficult to move quickly in such terrain.

Although the other towns occupy favorable terrain and occupy the mountain pass, the focus of the defense of the entire Funiu Mountain is actually in the Luoyan Valley. Therefore, if other mountain pass towns are attacked by the enemy, although the beacon fire message will let the news come as soon as possible, the reinforcements will not be able to arrive at the first time. It will take three to five days to arrive at the earliest.

Gao Muqing made an attempt in this regard, and after unifying Funiu Mountain, Gao Muqing ordered to open up some roads. However, the opening of the road in the mountains is comparable to climbing to the sky, and the so-called opening of the road is actually just to follow the trend of the mountains and valleys to find a slightly flatter path that is relatively passable. Sometimes, in order to get around the steep terrain, you have to go around the entire mountain peak when you can reach it in a straight line. The road is open, but it takes longer. When encountering steep mountain streams and canyons, you can only detour again and find a place to cross.

Even so, in winter, all this path was nullified. When the snow fell heavily, all roads were blocked and impassable at all. At that time, the mountain towns became isolated islands.

Lin Jue decided to solve this problem quickly. The solution, of course, is not to open up a mountain road, but to build a zipline rope bridge. In Lin Jue's view, this is the most convenient and fast way. It may seem like a hanging, but as long as safety is assured, it is the fastest and most economical way to move.

The ropeway was not too difficult to build, and a wooden tower was built as a base point, connected by a sturdy rope with hanging baskets on the ropes. The descent from the mountains and valleys is only in a moment. Don't worry about ropes, thickening ropes doesn't cost much resources. It doesn't take much resources to build a wooden tower. These towers also serve as watchtowers. With more maintenance and replacement on weekdays, there will be no problems. The only thing that needs to be addressed is the slowdown and safety issues when gliding down the rope quickly.

From mountain peaks to valleys, from mountain streams to mountain streams, no one will be able to get off the zipline alive if you can't control your speed. At the end of the high-speed slide, you will be crushed. However, for Lin Jue, this problem is not difficult to solve. The mountaineer that Lin Jue designed at the beginning came in handy. The climber's ability to hold the rope allows the zipline to be controlled by humans. In the process of sliding, only need to control the speed of the taxi, and from time to time a climber slows down, you can achieve artificial speed control. Although this rudimentary method will make the zipline rider staggered due to inertia, it is the best choice compared to breaking bones.

What's more, through the construction of a ropeway system, soldiers and horses and people can move freely and quickly. Although you still have to walk the way up the mountain, the speed of the descent is staggering. The distance that used to be three days can be shortened to a day or even half a day with the zipline. This is already the best efficiency.

Every day, Lin Jue spends his days in this kind of hustle and bustle. Every day, follow everyone to run around the Wild Goose Valley and other places, solve various problems, and improve various systems. All of this is to make the entire Funiu Mountain a more efficient, more advanced and convenient system, so that both the military and the civilian can experience a new feeling. In just a few months, the cottage has really changed a lot. The number of villages increased by six, and the population increased by more than 7,000 people. Many important facilities were constructed. Four schools were built, and nineteen carriage stations were built. From Luoyan Valley to Jiming Mountain Canyon, the location of the village that is more than 20 miles long, the village has a free carriage and horse station.

Large-scale construction has led to development, and it has also given everyone something to do and a salary to receive. Don't think that silver is useless in the mountains, several trade markets have been formed in the Funiu Mountains, and all kinds of shops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Even the mountain dwellers, who are not close to a certain situation in a few towns, regularly show up at the town's bazaar with their goods. Several high-end song halls and green buildings are already quite large-scale. Lin Jue would not prohibit these things. Where there are people, there is communication and desire, and it is best to go with the flow, as long as it doesn't go too far.

As the saying goes, there is no time in the mountains, and more than two months pass in the blink of an eye. One morning, when Lin Jue stood on the east cliff of the cottage and saw the changes in the mountain scenery, he suddenly realized something. The rice in the valley is golden and ready for harvest. The woods on the hillside are also brilliant, red, yellow, and yellow like a brocade. The sky becomes plateau solemn, and occasionally you can see wild geese flying southward together. There was a rich, cold smell in the air. Autumn has arrived, and it's late autumn at the end of September.

Counting the days, it has been nearly three months since I entered the mountain. In the past three months, I have been so busy that I have no time to feel all this around me. On second thought, the time to reunite with the family is also very short. Although I live in one place, it seems that I haven't chatted with them for a long time. I seem to be too attached to what is in front of me and ignore something.

In the early morning of September 21, Xie Yingying gave birth to a daughter. The Lin family roared with joy. Xie Yingying's birth date was in mid-October, probably because of the displacement and panic when she fled the capital, so she was born half a month prematurely. However, the child is still quite healthy. Lin Jue was overjoyed, the birth of a child is the most important event in life, and now that he has a son and a daughter, it is also complete. Lin Jue also saved trouble, this girl was born in the valley of Luoyan, so she gave her a name Lin Luoyan. It also alludes to the canon of sinking fish and falling geese.

Xie Yingying is a little melancholy, I don't know how many times better it is to give birth to a son than to give birth to a daughter. Xie Yingying doesn't have the heart to compete for favor, but after all, she has the idea of patriarchy. Lin Jue comforted her in every possible way, telling her that she actually liked girls more, and after a few comforts, Xie Yingying was slightly relieved.

Xie Yingying gave birth to a child, which also triggered some small emotions in the hearts of Gao Muqing, Bai Bing and Green Dance. Regardless of whether there is a boy or a girl, it will always add people to the Lin family. And these three people are all favored by Lin Jue, but for some reason they always have no movement in their stomachs. Gao Muqing and Bai Bing are sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and they don't care too much, but they just have a little regret in their hearts. But for Midori Dance, she really cares. You must know that as early as in Hangzhou, she fantasized about being able to give birth to a son for Lin Jue one day. After so many years, it is not what people want.

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Green Dance suddenly opened up the matter of letting Qianqian enter the door. The matter between Qianqian and Lin Jue is no longer a secret, Qianqian herself is very low-key, she is very obedient, and she knows that this kind of thing must not be rushed, otherwise it will backfire. In fact, the little county lord lost his temper when he learned about this. Since then, I have seen Qianqian, quite scrutiny. Qianqian only waited, she was not publicized, and she did not go to Lin Jue. However, Lin Jue always recalled the incident of accidentally hitting the passenger car that night, and felt a strange and exciting feeling in his heart. After entering the mountain, when there was no one in the middle of the night, he secretly went to Qianqian's small courtyard to hang out a few times.
