Chapter 380: Farming Gossip (1)
"Squeak...", the courtyard door opened, and Oriya walked out of the courtyard.
"E-pray, e-pray!" Habala chased after him, "You're going to walk your horse again?" ”
Oriya squatted down, touched Habala's head, and said, "Yes, Eqige is not going to walk the horse, what shall we eat?" ”
Nearly 1,000 Mongolian people who followed Zhiwen back to Zhuolu Mountain have settled down, although the place of Zhuolu Mountain is large, but a lot of fields have been opened, and a lot of warehouses have been built, and the place where the wool is washed on the top of the mountain is still a forbidden area, which can no longer accommodate so many people.
In the end, Zhiwen discussed with everyone and decided to settle Mongolian people with families in the mountains, such as those like Oliya.
Outside the mountain, choose the land to build some houses first, and live there if you don't have a family, like Wu Lihan, as well as those people of Haidongqing, they are all alone, that is, they live outside the mountain, Xue Ping, Tao Yong and Qian Steward and others are a little special, although they don't have families, but they are responsible for a lot of things to discuss with Zhiwen and others, so they found some people in the mountains to partner with, and also lived.
In the future, the city wall will be built outside the mountain, and strive to build a fortress, which not only solves the problem of housing, but also echoes with the pass, avoiding the situation of being attacked and trapped in a lonely city.
Of course, now it's just a beautiful blueprint, the Mongolian people outside the mountain can only go down, sleep in the yurt tent or something, but these people are used to sleeping on the grassland, and it's summer, and the night here is not as cool as the grassland, there is food and clothing, and no one feels bitter.
The Mongolian people who live outside the mountains have several duties, one is herding, which is what Habala said about walking horses.
After the battle with the bandits, the wild horses that charged first only lost a few dozens, but the harvest was even greater, and those bandit elites, whether they ran away or were caught, most of them didn't care about their own horses, and finally counted the horses, and there were hundreds more.
There are not even enough people in Zhuolu Mountain now, let alone more than 2,000 horses, and there are fields in the mountains, and there is no place for them to run.
In order to let the horses eat well, Zhiwen not only provided food, but also planned to arrange for people to plant alfalfa outside the mountain as soon as the people who were farming in the mountains were free.
And Zhiwen vaguely remembered that alfalfa could still fertilize the fields, and he also planned to plant them in the mountains, otherwise what would he do if he planted sweet potatoes for a long time and exhausted the soil.
Putting more than 2,000 horses is a piece of cake for the Mongolian people, or not many people, the responsibility of the remaining people is to teach the members of the Zhuolu Mountain team riding skills and bows and arrows, the first step in practicing riding skills is to deal with horses, feed horses, brush horses, walk horses, and cultivate feelings with horses.
As one of the leaders of the archery and riding sect, Oliya naturally spends most of his time outside the mountain, but Zhiwen quickly gave them benefits, they can take a day off every ten days, and they can go back to the mountains to reunite with their families.
"We have food at home!" Habala blinked his eyes and said very seriously, "When you were away, Eji and I went to get wool and earned a lot of food, enough for us to eat. ”
"That's not going to work either." Oliya patted Habala's head, "Zheng Gongzi is such a good person, he needs our help, can we not help?" ”
These Mongolian women and children in the mountains, they can only herd sheep and horses to milk, to Zhuolu Mountain, there is no need for so many people to herd horses, and they don't know how to farm, so they can't be idle, Zhiwen simply got them all to spin wool, commonly known as going to work.
With wool, Zhuolu Mountain is running like a high-speed gyroscope again, capturing more than 500 bandit elites in one breath, washing wool for a long time without worry, spinning wool and knitting sweaters is currently Zhuolushan's own people doing, the weather is still hot, not yet the season for sweaters to go on the market, but there is no need to worry.
In fact, if you are willing, labor is not worried, 100,000 displaced people were scattered by the First World War, whether they were caught or attracted with food, it was not a problem to think about it, but Zhiwen suspected that these people had been following the bandits for a long time, and their temper was not good, so they didn't want to use it for the time being.
The Zhuolu Trading Company on the Zhuolu Market also arranged for Zhou Chengyun to bring a few money and grain masters, even if they are not doing business now, but they have to put up a shelf, and they can also release the news of recruiting refugees.
After being busy for a while, Zhiwen planned to pick one person from Li Zhi and Qian Steward and arrange to go to Zhuolu Trading Company.
Habala tilted his head and thought for a while, "Eqige is right, I must go to help Zheng Gongzi." ”
Oriya smiled, stood up and was about to leave, when there was a knock on the door of the courtyard next to him, and someone came out.
"Habala, Habala!" A woman shouted angrily and came to the door of the Oriya house, "Yo, the Oriya brothers are also here, where are you in the Hun family?" ”
"Sister-in-law Zhang!" Oliya nodded and said hello, I have to say, the environment is really the best teacher, Oliya's family didn't stay in the mountains for a few days, it turned out that they only knew what the Hun family meant, and they could not be very skilled in greeting.
"She's packing up her things inside, and she'll come out in a while and go to work together?" This woman's husband's surname is Zhang, and she lives next door to them, and the men in the family farm the fields, while she goes to work, that is, spinning wool and knitting sweaters, and within a few days she got acquainted with her mother-in-law in Oriya, and she is together from work.
"Aunt Zhang's early." Habara shouted from the sidelines.
"Ouch, this kid has such a sweet mouth." Aunt Zhang smiled happily when she was called, reached out and touched Habala's head, but when she touched it, her eye circles began to redden.
Seeing this, Oliya on the side sighed in his heart, he had also heard about the situation of this family, it was said that he had fled from northern Shaanxi, his son and daughter were gone, only the old two were left, and the children were very close to each other, and Habala did not take less food from their family.
"Sister-in-law Zhang!" Oria coughed lightly, "I have an idea. ”
"What? What's the idea? Aunt Zhang withdrew her gaze from Habara and looked at Oliya with a confused expression, not knowing what he was talking about.
Although Oliya already knows a lot of Chinese, the straightforwardness of the Mongolian people in her bones has not changed, she didn't go around in circles, and said directly, "I see that many of the boys in the team are orphans, so you didn't think about adopting a few?" ”
"Adopt the orphans of the clan, okay?" Aunt Zhang muttered.
