Within the Eastern Wilderness, the 20,000 acres of fertile land belonging to Lin Zifan gradually began to start construction in full swing!

Seeds of wheat, sorghum, tobacco and various spices were planted one after another, and even Lin Zifan asked Huo Sisi and other three imperial chefs to send people to bring back some spice trees from the 100,000 mountains, such as pepper and pepper trees, and transplanted them directly, and the progress was very fast!

As for rice, that is, rice, there is no need to rush for the time being, because it is not yet time to sow rice, and in the meantime, he has more important things to deal with.

Iron ore!

The previous task reward transformed Anshan in the Western Wilderness into an iron mine, but what kind of mountain Anshan is, how many iron ores there are, etc., Lin Zifan is completely unclear.

Yes, he needs to make a trip himself!

Moreover, how to smelt iron ore into iron is also a difficult problem! As far as Datang's own smelting technology is concerned, it is not to mention......

Therefore, it is impossible to avoid the trip to the Western Wilderness!

Of course, Lin Zifan didn't need to hide.

It's just that this time, the empress didn't have the opportunity to accompany Lin Zifan. After all, it is now spring, which means that war may break out again at any time!

Chen and Wu will definitely fight back, and if they want to get back the lost land, other countries are likely to wait for the opportunity to move, and the empress must sit in Chang'an to avoid any accidents.

But the empress didn't go, but there were no more people......

In order not to delay the students' classes, Lin Zifan directly brought all the students aboard! Even, men and women, thirty people, one is not less!

At the same time, there are Xiong Chumo and several department workers, plus Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, Zhou Xiaoyan, and King Kong Barbie Chi Yanyu.

......

The Western Wilderness is an endless plain, overgrown with weeds, and in many places it is even higher than a person, except for a few places where people often pass by, it is almost impossible to see the road!

The situation in the Eastern Wilderness is roughly the same.

But in these two wastelands, there is a huge area of land, in Lin Zifan's view, this is a huge resource, if it is developed, planted with all kinds of food, or fed a large number of livestock, the output value will definitely not be low!

But it's a pity that the people of Datang don't have this awareness for the time being......

Grow food? Yes, but it's all planted, and it's just some fragrant beans, and everything else is wild!

Sorry, but most of the people of the Tang Dynasty, whether they are mountain people or 'city people', prefer to hunt......

Compared with feeding on time and on time every day, and all kinds of troubles, hunting is undoubtedly much more convenient and free.

However, the problem is also very direct and obvious, that is, once the hunt fails, you can only eat no meat, or buy it from other people......

In fact, it's not just Datang, as far as Lin Zifan knows, there are really not many people in this world who can feed livestock.

After all, the land area of the feminist world is huge, and there are many mountains and rivers, and all kinds of wild beasts and fierce beasts emerge in an endless stream, so you don't have to worry about eating them all.

Even if you don't hunt for a long time, you have to worry about whether it will trigger a tide of beasts and urge the city to destroy the village......

In addition, most of the women in this world have some strength, especially the women of the Tang Dynasty, to a certain extent, hunting is indeed less labor-saving than feeding livestock.

Therefore, he can understand this idea, but it is only understanding, and it does not mean that he supports it.

If there is time and opportunity in the future, Lin Zifan will inevitably change this status quo, but now...... It can only be postponed.

Entering the Western Wilderness, all the way to the west, fortunately, after the beginning of spring, the asphalt road has also begun to be built.

The asphalt road on the east and west sides was only half repaired before, but now it has been paved and rebuilt, which saves the pain and trouble of a group of people walking through weeds.

"I heard that there are still a lot of people living in the Western Wilderness, and when there are no asphalt roads, how do they come and go?

Lin Zifan was a little curious, how tall a person is weeds, the ghost knows what is in them, snakes, insects, rats and ants must be indispensable, even if the women in this world are bold and not afraid of those, but it is also very troublesome, right?

"It's usually a fire!"

Zhou Xiaoyan explained: "This is the case every year, and at the end of autumn, when the weather is the driest, a fire will burn the weeds in the east and west wilderness!"

"In those days, the sky was full of red clouds, and everyone didn't dare to go inside!"

"However, this winter came too early, and the poisoning of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate made all the villages mess up, so I didn't care about it. ”

"I see......"

Lin Zifan nodded, and couldn't help but have black lines on his head.

Weeds as tall as one person can see, as far as the eye can see, no one knows how many, and they just lit a fire? This is too bold, right?

Refer to the wildfires on the earth before the crossing, once they broke out, they were all over the mountains, and it was useless to mobilize thousands of firefighters, so they could only do their best, and no one could guarantee whether they could be successfully extinguished, how much food and crops, and even people's property, were destroyed by wildfires?

Not to mention the wildfires in rice and other places, it is an exaggeration to say that a burn is tens of thousands of miles~

It's also a loss that the people in this world have some strength, otherwise, if you light a fire, I'm afraid that I don't know what big mess will happen.

"My lord, what kind of place are we going to get out of this Anshan?"

Two days later, the asphalt road had come to an end, and after greeting the people in the Ministry of Engineering who was building the road, the women in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter looked at the endless weeds in front of them and volunteered to run to open the road......

But Xiong Chumo came up and asked about the doubts in his heart.

There are many mountains and rivers in this world, southwest of the Tang Dynasty, known as 100,000 mountains, and the specific number is only a lot more!

And on the edge of the Western Wilderness, there are also many mountains and rivers.

There are too many mountains and rivers, plus everything in this era is underdeveloped, the empress doesn't even know how many people and surnames there are in her country, how can she know how many mountains there are?

Not to mention one of the Anshan that is not famous, Xiong Chumo is even more impossible to know.

"I don't know. Lin Zifan spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid only the locals know, when you get to the place, just ask someone." ”

Then, he looked at the students who were following behind on a wildebeest, very curious, and the students, especially the male students, who were constantly looking around, after riding horses for two days, all had a sad face and grinned their teeth, and couldn't help but smile.

That's the pain he's been through! it's the sorrow of the balls......

"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles......"

Lin Zifan smiled and said to the students: "What you have seen and heard along the way, you must listen carefully, watch carefully, and study hard." ”
