Chapter 34: The Great Plains of the Valley
Although Cho Hyo-seok has been to this island many times in his previous life. But in the face of this boundless forest in front of him, Zhao Xiaoxi really couldn't figure out whether the place he was in was where the future would be.
Walking along this freshwater river, the vegetation is still relatively sparse, and there are guards with mountain knives to open the way in front. Zhao Xiaoxi and the others, who followed behind, were not slow to move. It's just this kind of aimless walking, and no one knows what's ahead.
After Zhao Xiaoxi had traveled for nearly an hour, he began to rest on a flat grass. Looking at the area around him that is suitable for living, Zhao Xiaoxi feels that arranging immigrants from a village should not be a problem.
It took so long to see such a suitable place to live, which made Zhao Xiaoxi a little disappointed. Originally, he asked people to climb some big trees to watch, but found that there was still an endless forest ahead.
Just when Cho Hyo-seok marched another section and felt that today's visit should end here. This quietly flowing river finally made a sharp turn, so that Zhao Xiaoxi couldn't help it, and wanted to see what kind of scenery was at the bend of the river.
When the leading guard came to the bend, he seemed to be stunned by what appeared in front of him. Several guards stood at the bend and looked motionless, which naturally aroused the curiosity of Zhao Xiaoxi and others.
It wasn't until Zhao Xiaoxi also came here that he looked at the place where several guards pointed out with joy on their faces, and felt that this was really a blessed land from God. Who would have known that at the bend of the river, there is such a paradise.
Although Zhao Xiaoxi and the others saw a piece, it was a bit similar to a warm plain. But the scale of the sea of grass undoubtedly told them that if this sea of grass was reclaimed, how many grain fields would they have that could be planted?
Zhao Xiaoxi also looked very happy and said: "I really can't think of it." I almost wanted to go back, and it appeared right in front of our eyes. With such a piece of land, if you resettle another 100,000 people, you should not have to worry about reclaiming the land! ”
The guards also said excitedly: "Lord Wang, this is the real Feng Shui treasure!" Look at the ground beneath our feet, a lot of it just needs to be reclaimed with grass and trees. It can be modified into a thousand acres of fertile land!
And in the plain, there are several freshwater tributaries. As long as they find a good place to live, they are afraid that the fields here will be enough for them to cultivate for a long time. I can't imagine that there is such a good place in such a wild place! ”
Seeing that the sky was about to enter the mansion, Zhao Xiaoxi suppressed the joy in his heart and said: "Okay, it's not early, let's rest for one night and come back tomorrow!" With this plain. Our next batch of immigrants will not have to worry about having nowhere to settle. ”
Now that the purpose of this trip has been accomplished, Zhao Xiaoxi can naturally go back with peace of mind. Such a treasure land that can reclaim thousands of hectares of fertile land, you need to plan it well when you go back. Absolutely not, let the newly relocated immigrants destroy this place by excessive and chaotic reclamation.
Thinking all the way over, there seemed to be few rapids and bends in the river, and Zhao Xiaoxi saw that there were a lot of dead trees nearby. Directly: "It's too slow to walk back, or let's make a raft and go downstream." I believe the speed will be much faster. ”
As soon as they heard Zhao Xiaoxi's words, these guards also felt that the idea was reliable. One after another with tools. I went to the nearby mountains to cut down dead trees, found some branches and ropes, and built a few rafts to prepare for sailing.
A few soldiers who could handle the boat, cut down a few straight tree poles, and tried to hold on a few times in the river. The river was not as deep as they thought. There is no problem at all with rafting on it.
Some were ready, and with Zhao Xiaoxi's order to get on the boat, all the accompanying guards stood on the raft. The soldiers in charge of handling the boat in front and behind began to drive the boat down the river.
If they want to ride this raft up the river. It can be a bit difficult. Don't look at the calm current, but the speed of the flow is still a bit fast. But everyone knows that with this waterway, immigrants will be able to come out much faster in the future.
When Zhao Xiaoxi and others went down the river, Mu Wanqing and others also prepared dinner. Although the ingredients are not too rich, they are also the food cooked by the girls themselves. The taste is not delicious, but it is not to the point that no one eats it.
Dinner was ready, but they didn't wait for the return of Zhao Xiaoxi and others, which made the girls a little worried. Many guards, also lit torches, stood by the river into the mountain, anxiously waiting for the return of Zhao Xiaoxi and others.
Although everyone knows that Zhao Xiaoxi's martial arts are very high. But when you get into the mountains, which few people have ever entered, no one knows what will happen. For this reason, everyone is still quite worried.
At this moment, the sharp-eyed soldier quickly saw that several dragon-like things appeared in the river ahead. After telling everyone, many people were also curious about who started these torches.
Until the torch soon appeared in front of them, looking at the torch, it was Zhao Xiaoxi and others who they had been looking forward to for a long time. The people also seemed very happy, at least the people who had entered the mountain had returned safely.
Waiting for a few simple rafts to dock, looking at the people who came to greet him, Zhao Xiaoxi couldn't help but say: "I'm sorry, I walked a little far, and I came back a little late, which makes you worry." ”
Compared to the women, they didn't say anything, but Duan Zhengchun was very curious: "How is it, the situation in this mountain?" ”
In this regard, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Let's go back to the camp first!" ”
Seeing the smile on Zhao Xiaoxi's face, Duan Zhengchun and the others knew that they should have found a suitable place for immigrants to live in this trip to the mountain. But standing here is indeed not a suitable place to speak.
After the group returned to the camp, the soldiers who stayed in the camp also knew that they could eat. Sure enough, as Cho Hyo-seok ordered the meal, these soldiers also began to line up to eat.
Compared to the food that these soldiers eat, it is relatively simple. The food eaten by Zhao Xiaoxi and his party is naturally more hearty. At such a time, there is naturally no unanimous rule among officers and soldiers.
Hearing Qin Hongmian and others say that tonight's meal was prepared by Mu Wanqing and them, Zhao Xiaoxi also seemed very happy. tasted them one by one, and gave everyone a lot of comments, which made the women also full of joy.
As everyone began to eat, Mu Wanqing asked again: "By the way, you haven't said yet, how about entering the mountain this time?" What is the upper reaches of this river? Can the people be housed? ”
Regarding Mu Wanqing's inquiry, Zhao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Originally, there was none, but when we were planning to come back." The river that had been going straight up suddenly took a turn, and guess what you saw at the bend in my channel? ”
Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi selling Guanzi, Zhong Ling didn't follow: "Why did you sell Guanzi again?" ”
Listening to Zhong Ling's disobedience, Zhao Xiaoxi also said helplessly: "Okay, I originally wanted to take you over tomorrow to see for yourself." But if you want to hear it now, then listen to it first, at least you have a bottom in your heart, and you won't be scared tomorrow.
In the middle of that mountain, there is a plain that can barely be seen. I walked a little bit on the edge, and the plains should be able to be reclaimed. In addition, there are rivers on the plains, so it is sure that the best paddy fields can be reclaimed.
With that mountain plain, it would not be a problem to resettle another 100,000 people. And compared with the New South City, the fields reclaimed by those immigrants and the fields reclaimed by the plains must be a granary! ”
Knowing that there was such a big plain in this mountain, Duan Zhengchun and the others were naturally curious. But at this time, it is not early, and even if you want to see it again, you can only wait until tomorrow.
After eating, the people also began to rest in the tents. Except for a few patrolling soldiers, patrolling the fence, the camp is also very quiet. As for Cho Hyo-seok's tent, there is also one more person staying tonight.
Although I feel that this is a little bad, but tonight it is Zhong Ling's turn, this girl doesn't have so many worries. For her, this is a company that can only be rotated once in four days, and she naturally does not want to waste it so easily.
After the clouds and rain, Zhong Ling, who was like a lazy cat, touched his white belly and said, "Brother Zhao, why do you think I can't get pregnant?" We've had so many times, why haven't we moved? ”
For this problem, Zhao Xiaoxi actually has a headache. At least he knew that he didn't have much control over him now. But a lot of seeds are sown, but there is no result. Even he wondered if his seeds were of bad quality.
It is said that traversers, while having a golden finger, will also have some bad consequences. Zhao Xiaoxi is also worried about whether this kind of bad consequence will make him unable to leave his descendants in this era.
Looking at Zhong Ling's sorrow, Zhao Xiaoxi could only comfort: "Silly girl, you yourself are like a child now, and you still think about having children every day." Didn't anyone tell you that having a baby is a very difficult thing? ”
Regarding this question, Zhong Ling said very firmly: "I'm not afraid, as long as I give you a child, I won't be afraid of any hardship." No matter what, I must be pregnant, Brother Zhao, let's do it again! ”
In the face of such an eager Zhong Ling, Zhao Xiaoxi was really helpless. Fortunately, he has a lot of money, and he is really not afraid of Zhong Ling's provocation. Picking up a woman, he will never bow to the wind.
It wasn't until midnight that Zhong Ling finally lost his strength and had to announce his surrender. The sound of the tent finally stopped. It wasn't until after dawn that Cho Hyo-seok quickly got up and walked out of the tent.
Feeling the fresh air of the valley, Zhao Xiaoxi also felt that this was the real fresh air of plants and trees! Compared with some forest oxygen bars in the previous life, the air at this moment is truly free of any impurities!
Soon after Zhao Xiaoxi got up, the soldiers in the camp who were in charge of cooking also began to cook breakfast. For things like breakfast, there are naturally not too many requirements when going out, as long as you can fill your stomach.
Besides, with these soldiers helping to cook, the women were able to rest a little longer. After all, in this kind of camping in the wilderness, early morning is the most pleasant time to sleep, and no one wants to climb out of the bed and get up to cook.
As for Cho Hyo-seok, he doesn't have the habit of lying in bed. Anyway, when you wake up, it's better to come out and breathe in the fresh air and exhale your internal strength. This is also a good habit that he has developed in both lives! (To be continued......)
