Chapter 6: The Valley of the Gourd
After getting acquainted with each other, Gao Shun asked the horses of the two to put them into the ring, and then said: "I want to build a base here, Li Shichang will follow me to the bottom of the valley to check the situation, and Ma Wu Chang will go around to inspect it."

"No!"
Gao Shun took Li Qiang to the bottom of the gourd valley, looking at the distance of 6 miles, and after walking, he felt that it was more than 10 miles away, and the area was much larger than expected.
The entrance to the valley floor is even narrower, only more than 200 meters wide, and the steep cliffs on both sides are as straight as knives, reaching straight into the clouds, and the canyon is hundreds of meters long, known as a ray of sky.
Gao Shun asked excitedly, "How is this place?" ”
Li Qiang looked around for a while and said: "General, this place is too good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if you want to transform it well, there is still a certain degree of difficulty, and it requires a lot of manpower, so I suggest that we go hunt aliens as soon as possible, get some wealth and synthetic quotas, and then come back to build a base and develop forces." ”
Gao Shun nodded, agreeing with his point of view, even if there is a special function of the space ring, it is not difficult to build a city wall, transport soil to improve the land, etc., but the difficult thing is the lack of confidants and labor, so it is important to get a synthesis quota; And after the base is built, there will also be enough soldiers to defend it. ”
Gao Shun asked, "Do you want to kill the Huns or Xianbei?" ”
Li Qiang said: "Yes, general, only robbing aliens is the fastest way to obtain wealth and synthetic quotas, and after going to kill, it is not too late to come back to build a base; The area here is large enough, and when the base is built, I guess the system should be upgraded. ”
It seems that he, like Gao Shun, does not have any psychological burden on hunting aliens.
The two of them entered the valley floor, and the inside suddenly opened up, with towering peaks on both sides, and a gentle slope gradually rising in the middle, with a width of about ten kilometers, and there was no end in sight, connecting with the peaks in the distance.
Gao Shun wondered very much, so much land can be reclaimed as farmland, why did the old village chief say that it was not possible to farm here? A careful look at the surrounding land shows that it is indeed not conducive to the development of fertile land, and even trees do not grow, only some weeds and shrubs such as thorns; Although there are not so many rocks here, the ground is full of fine sand, there is no soil at all, only a few weeds and vigorous shrubs grow.
Continue inward, climb up a gentle slope, 10 miles from the first line of heaven, there is a blue lake, the lake is very large, the north and south are closely connected with the cliffs on both sides; Looking southwest, you can vaguely see that the opposite bank is a dense wood; This is a standard dammed lake. This is the reason why the old village chief said that there is no shortage of water.
Li Qiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What a beautiful scenery." ”
"The blue sky, the mountains, the green trees, the clear water, it's so beautiful! This lake will be called Bibo Lake in the future. ”
"Good name, good general." Li Qiang will also be a sycophant.
Since there were no people living and no boats, it was impossible to continue to inspect the li, but this already made Gao Shun and the others feel that the trip was worthwhile.
The two of them walked outside and discussed the construction of the base.
"General, there are so many tall trees on the other side, the soil must be very fertile, and those trees can be used as materials for our construction base, and after being cut down, they can be developed into fertile fields or pastures, killing multiple birds with one stone." After thinking about it for a while, Li Qiang suggested again: "General, this is really our treasure land, with mountains, water, and a large area of land; It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be automatically divided into several areas, Huxi can be used as a family area for officers and soldiers, west of the first line of heaven can be used as a confidential area, and east can be used as a barracks and commercial area; As long as a large amount of fertile soil is transported, it will definitely be able to transform this place into fertile and fertile land; Although the construction is more difficult, we have enough time and are not in a hurry. ”
Gao Shun agrees with his point of view very much, there is a space ring, which can easily clean up the rocks here, and use it as a material for the construction of the city wall, and then use the space ring to transport a large amount of fertile soil, transform this place into fertile land, and slowly build it.
When they came to the outer valley, Ma Gui was already waiting for them, and brought back 3 hares, Gao Shun thought to himself, he could finally improve his food tonight; In his previous life, he was a rich second generation, how could he have suffered like this?
Ma Gui reported the surrounding situation in detail, and sure enough, as Gao Shun guessed, only the north and south of the valley had some soil, but the soil was not fertile, and only some shrubs and dwarf trees grew.
Judging from the information provided by Ma Gui, these rocks should have fallen from the cliffs on both sides of the first-line sky, or these rocks were created when the water broke through the first-line sky, which made Gao Shun breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't want to encounter geological disasters after the construction of the base was completed.
Gao Shun's heart has a new orientation for the valley, he doesn't want to invest too much energy in large-scale construction, nesting in this small ravine to develop is not his style. After the construction of the castle wall, the position near the valley mouth was slightly leveled and used as a barracks and warehouse; It is enough to improve the land in the north and south of the outer valley, plant some vegetables, and raise some cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, so as to meet the needs of the garrison.
The purpose of occupying this place is to upgrade the system, to cover up the existence of the system, and to facilitate his commercial trade. At most, the village will be relocated to the innermost part of the valley, so that they can live a paradise-like life.
Seeing Gao Shun's hesitant demeanor, Li Qiang said: "General, don't think too far now, first occupy this place as a foothold; With such a large area, I estimate that the system can be upgraded by at least 2 levels, which is very important to the general. ”
Ma Gui said: "General, let's start first, everything is difficult at the beginning, otherwise everything will be empty; I'm very eager to hunt aliens now, so much wealth and beauty are beckoning to me. ”
The words of the two made Gao Shun suddenly brighten, thinking about what to do in the long run, the top priority is to upgrade the system, get a synthesis quota, and earn a lot of money and points. Thinking of this, Gao Shun is full of expectations for the system upgrade. So he said: "Okay, tomorrow we will start killing, starting with the nearest Huns, and they dare not come to plunder again." ”
"No!" Everyone was very supportive of Gao Shun's decision.
Ma Gui suggested again: "General, in fact, it is not difficult to build here, as long as you sell these gravel to the system, you can earn some points, and then spread a layer of fertile soil on the cleared flat land, and it will become fertile land." After cleaning up the gravel at the mouth of the valley, it will be very fast to buy stones or bricks directly from the system to build the city wall. ”
Listening to Ma Gui's suggestion, in line with the principle of rather believing it, it took 10 minutes to fill a ring of gravel, and then operated the panel, and sure enough, it did not disappoint him, a ring of gravel, 125 cubic meters, actually exchanged for 1.2 points.
In line with the principle that flies are also meat, Gao Shun spent an afternoon selling half of the rocks in the outer valley, exchanging more than 20 points, and didn't care how many points he exchanged, what made him happy was that it was convenient to build after cleaning up the rocks.
On the way back, the rocks at the mouth of the valley were also cleared, and when there were people, the city wall could be built by digging 3 meters.
Subsequently, Gao Shun checked the system, various specifications of granite strips, per point can buy 40 cubic meters, the difference between the buying and selling price is more than 1 times, considering the processing cost, he feels that the price of the system is very fair; The price of soil is 40 cubic meters per point, and the selling price is 100 cubic meters and 1 point, but he is not going to buy soil, or it will cost too much, and there are not so many points for the time being, so it is more cost-effective to transport it here with a space ring from the outer plains.
When the sun set, Gao Shuncai happily led the two people back.
His heart was very happy, this gourd valley was a worthless sand land for others, he had a space ring, which could be transformed very easily, and this was a treasure land for him.
One mile south of Taiping Village, Gao Shun pointed to the village and said, "This is my home, called Taiping Village; Tonight you go west, and there is an abandoned village four miles away, and you will stay there for the night, and tomorrow morning I will meet you. ”
"No!" The two unconditionally supported Gao Shun's order.
Gao Shun happily returned home with a hare; The other 2 hares were left for Li Qiang and Ma Gui to make dinner.
When I got home, it was already dark, and my mother asked worriedly, "Ah Shun, why did you come back so late?" ”
Gao Shun said: "Let my mother worry, this is the set set up a few days ago, go to inspect it today, and set up a few more sets, and there will be more prey in a few days." ”
Mother suggested: "There are so many leopards and wild wolves in the mountains and forests, it's too dangerous to go out alone, don't go out alone in the future, I think the two Gao Wu brothers are good, hunting together, and it's good to share some prey with his family, and you are safe." ”
"Mother's rest assured is that with her son's skills, no one in the village is my opponent."
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, it's always okay to be careful."
"No, I'll pay attention to it later." Gao Shun felt his mother's strong love for him, this is family affection, which needs him to cherish and care for him all his life.
Sister Gao Feng has no heart and lungs, she won't think too much, and she will be happy to have meat to eat.
