Xue Lian and Bai Gui didn't go directly to the small hill, but went in that direction. In order to avoid the eyes of everyone, go around to the back of the hill and go up from the back.

On the hills, it's not bare that nothing grows. But! In the crevices of the rocks grow sparse shrubs, and more thorns.

The top of the hill is exactly the same as that of Snow Lotus, and there is a large basin inside, not to mention that it is a freight yard, even if it lives in dozens of families, it is also very wealthy. If there is a water source? It's a great place for herders.

Although it is said to be a basin, it is not a lake-type basin.

Bai Gui was worried at first: What if it rains heavily? Will there be waterlogging in the basin? Outcome! All this is redundant. At the lowest end, there is a natural "drain", which can be quickly discharged no matter how heavy it rains.

"Is there a water source here?" Bai Gui asked.

Xue Lian looked at Bai Guanren and shook her head.

"I don't know! There's grass in there, and maybe it'll be able to make a spring. Mo Xiaoyu said.

Where there is soil in the basin, the shrubs and weeds are very luxuriant and have begun to turn green.

"If there is a water source? It's a place to live in seclusion! Bai Gui muttered to himself.

"Seclusion?" Xue Lian asked puzzled.

"I mean! We can set up a secret warehouse here. Not reliable people, absolutely not let them know. Later! We can transport the goods from Zhongshan and store them here. You can also store the goods on the grassland here, and then transport them back to Zhongshan when the caravan comes......"

Bai Gui said his idea.

Looking at such a good place in front of him, Bai Gui's heart was surging.

"We can live here, too, and let our children and grandchildren live here......"

Snow Lotus, Qi Rong, Zhou Yan, Mo Xiaoyu, and Yang Siqing are all people on the grassland, although they take Yinshan Town, Zhongshan Country as their home, but after all, they are people on the grassland, and they have the blood of the grassland people flowing in their bodies.

Although they are women, they are stronger than the men in the surrounding area, and they can fight. If they give birth to boys, they will inevitably be proud sons of the grassland under their education in the future.

Bai Gui also had no intention of taking Xuelian and her four sisters, as well as their children and descendants, back to the Zhou Dynasty. The current Bai Gui predecessors have offended the king of Wei, although Wei is his mother country, but the mother country does not want him anymore. So! He didn't want to take the Snow Lotus back to Wei.

In the Great Zhou world, now he can settle down in any of the vassal states. But he didn't want to settle down in the Great Zhou world, and felt that it was too chaotic and unsafe.

Furthermore! It's not the home country of Xue Lian and the others, and Xue Lian doesn't know if she wants to go? And also! Even if Snow Lotus is willing to go back to Zhoudi to live, they are used to being wild on the prairie, and they will definitely cause trouble every day when they go to Zhoudi to live.

The Zhou Dynasty is a country of etiquette, a place where Zhou etiquette is spoken, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and music, and there are too many rules. And benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and pleasure are all used by powerful people such as kings to restrain others, and they themselves are above all this.

So! Snow Lotus and the others, who are used to living on the grassland, definitely often fight and even kill people when they come to Zhoudi. Those who use benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and pleasure to restrain others and make an exception for themselves, is it strange that Snow Lotus does not kill them?

One side of the water and soil raises the other side, and the snow lotus belongs to the grassland. So! The children and offspring raised by him, Xuelian and others are going to return to live on the grassland.

After inspecting the inside of the basin, Bai Gui and Xue Lian and the others looked around the top of the hill again. Although it is a hill that gradually rises, the road up the hill is not easy to walk, and there are thorns and rocks everywhere. If you want to live here, it will be difficult for ordinary people to come up if you deliberately plant thorns and other plants around it, create barricades, and build fortifications.

"Now the key is water! If a well could be drilled in it, it would be a place for people to live. Look! The aquatic plants around here are okay! If our descendants live and reproduce here, this place will all be ours! ”

"This used to belong to the Deer Park tribe, and later the Deer Park tribe was conquered by the Yiqu Kingdom and migrated there. The place we went to was the deer park. If we want to live here, we have to join the Deer Park Tribe......"

Xue Lian was familiar with the situation here, so she gave a general explanation. If you don't join the Deer Park tribe, they won't let you live on their pastures. Join their tribe and occupy this land, and you will have to pay taxes to the leader of the tribe.

It's all the same! What is the saying: Under the whole world, is it not the king's land?

When you go to the world, someone is in charge.

Bai Gui paid attention to it, the land around the hill seemed to be cultivable, not exactly the kind of place where only grass grows from the sky. Other words! This piece of land is completely settling and living, and there is no need to live in pursuit of water and grass.

How about developing this place into a trading hub in the future? So! In the future, it will become a village or a city.

The current Bai Gui is not familiar with the vast prairie at all, and he does not know his specific location now. But? According to Xuelian, the current location should be somewhere in Ningxia or Gansu. Because! After their caravan set out from Yinshan Town, it had been heading northwest.

Since becoming an official in the Wei State, Bai Gui's predecessors have seen through the world and the essence of the king. So! After the death of his first wife, Bai Mei's mother-in-law, he did not publicly renew the house. But! Secretly became a home.

Because! He wants to make a career, and he doesn't want to affect his children and future generations because of him.

In antiquity! There have always been "convictions" and "punishments", one person commits a crime, and the whole family is affected.

Especially in the era in which he lived, there was no justice at all. The word of the powerful is the law. People with power, if they want you to die, you have to die. And the laws they formulated, as well as the weekly rites and systems that have always existed, are used to restrict, restrict, and control others, except for kings and those in power.

In Wei, he had a secret wife and a pair of children. This pair of children is a few years younger than Bai Mei, and they are not yet adults.

In the country of Chu! He also had a secret wife's room. In the country of Qi! He also has a secret wife's room. In the country of Yan, he also has a secret wife's room. Zhao Guo did not! Zhao is too close to Wei, his home is in Wei, too close is sometimes inconvenient, or! Prone to accidents.

Other than that! He also has a secret lover that his personal guards don't even know. These women are willing to follow him, give him a baby, and continue his offspring without him being responsible. But! Bai Gui's seniors are not that kind of people, as long as he agrees, he will give them a lot of money. Anyway! As a father, he is to do his duty as a father.
