Chapter 12 Wanliutang Water Village
"I want the title deed of this Wanliutang."
said that he was paid according to his work, and those who did the work were given meals and rewards, but Xu Ku, who offered advice, was still being dried.
Chai Bancheng felt that it was inappropriate, so he asked Xu Ku to make a request, but he didn't expect it to be the title deed.
"Brother Xu, aren't you crazy, what do you want to do with this pond of bad water?" Chai Bancheng was surprised.
It's not that I think Xu Kushi is opening his mouth, on the contrary, what the other party wants is almost worthless.
Unlike other evacuation teams, Chai Bancheng does not need to pick a place to occupy it.
This Wanquan Mountain area was originally the place where the emperor gave him Chai's family, but the mountains and rivers were evil, and the Chai family was too lazy to operate. If it weren't for the city's destruction and escape, he would have forgotten about it.
Especially the Wanliutang behind this mountain.
In the first two years, the water in the upper reaches was dry, and there were not even a few fish left. The area has also been halved from a radius of ten miles, revealing the dry lake bed under the hillside.
There are only dozens of wrecked ships that have run aground, proving that there were once people here. In another two years, it would not be surprising to say that it will dry up completely.
Chai Bancheng really couldn't keep up with Xu Ku's thoughts.
"I was poor before, and even the old house was pawned. Maybe after this chaos, he will be a fisherman and a fisherwoman with his mother-in-law. ”
"If the owner is willing, he can also reward those broken fishing boats."
Xu Ku stretched out his hand and pointed to the shore.
Hu Xiaodao and He Yuchun bowed down and pulled the fiber, and were coming over this way.
Shirtless, there are more than a dozen fishing boats swinging behind the coiled ropes. The displaced people selected before either helped push the boats or carried freshly cut logs, and they were full of energy.
There were too many people who went up the mountain to sign up the day before yesterday, and Xu Ku only chose fifteen relatively strong ones to use, and Zhong Wenyuan was also among them.
Chai Bancheng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and the evacuation team that he had been thinking about finally had some appearance.
"Brother Ku, the things were dragged for you, what should you do next?" Hu Xiaodao shouted from afar.
"The owner. Small proprietors. He Yuchun also greeted the homeless people.
"The woodcutter cuts the wood and cuts the board, and the fisherman nails the wedge and mends the boat. Thirty more oars were added to the boat. ”
"Ho Tou, old bell. I heard from the owner that you had suppressed water bandits, and I don't need to teach you how to build a water village. ”
"The little proprietor wants to ......" Qin Huai seemed to understand something.
"Lao Qin also thought of it." Xu Ku nodded.
"The back mountain road is narrow, and there are only two horses running side by side. The water in Wanliutang was waist-deep, and the cavalry of the wild dogs could not charge at all. ”
"Build a water village, and block it if you can. If you can't stop it, you get on the boat and run into the pond. ”
"If it happens to be dark, you won't even see a shadow hidden in the reeds. I don't believe that the wild dog has been consumed. ”
Xu explained with a bitter smile.
"Wonderful, wonderful! I didn't think of it before. Qin Huai was amazed, "The little owner should join the army with such an opinion." ”
"There are exactly twenty or so hardwood bows, and if you dare to attack the village, you will shoot the damn."
was a little excited, which aroused Qin Huai's madness, and he even spit out foul language.
Joining the army?
Forget it. Just hug the demonic thighs, even if it's separated by the green shirt.
"It's a slow time to build a water village." He Yuchun reminded.
"You only need to pile the wall, you don't need to go to the top." Xu said bitterly.
"Isn't that revealing? The night wind by the pond was very cold. Zhong Wenyuan was also a little puzzled.
Xu Ku smiled mysteriously, "I'll solve this." ”
"If the things I just said are made in two days, the remaining five meals will be eaten dry."
As soon as they heard that they could eat dry food, the people present cheered, and their feet seemed to be windy, and they went to their work.
"Damn, Brother Xu. Do you dare to do dry rice? The grain for the past two days has been harvested at a high price. ”
"Your brother and I gave up the silver that can drink ten tons of flower wine."
As soon as the displaced people dispersed, Chai Bancheng howled. It's right to mobilize morale, but Xu Ku is too generous.
"The owner, it's almost desperate. It doesn't matter if you eat a few full meals. Let's wait until I survive. ”
"Desperate? What are you fighting for? Chai Bancheng's heart sank.
"The wild dog cleared the wild for five days before, and this time it dragged on for a long time."
"The mountain bandits who often come to fight the autumn wind are too quiet, maybe they have some rumors."
"I'm afraid that the war in Chuzhou will end ahead of schedule, and the brute dog has already gathered the pieces and is ready to close the net finally." Xu Ku explained.
This is Wei Hongluan's judgment this morning, and he believes it.
"That's too much......" Chai Bancheng was a little painful.
Halfway through the words, Chai Bancheng and Qin Huai shrank back neatly.
Xu Ku turned around in confusion, and saw Su Muzheng, who was wearing a linen towel on his head and holding a firewood knife in his hand, walking over with a wooden bucket in his jade hand.
Xu Ku's sister-in-law can't be provoked, it has become a consensus.
"The grass and wood pulp water you said is boiled, it is indeed green, and Qiu Niang accidentally dyed her hands just now."
Su Mu said to Xu Ku, he didn't look at Chai Bancheng and the two.
Dipping his hands in some slurry water to look carefully in the sun, Xu Ku nodded with satisfaction. Before, he pointed out several blades of grass and leaves that grew in the back mountains and asked Su Mu to lead people to boil them in pots and make them into dyes. The estimated color rate is still good.
"Wronged Xia Envoy did this chores." Xu Ku said in a low voice.
"The chores are small. Taking the opportunity to go out to pick up waste, I heard some rumors, and the two escape teams closest to Chuzhou City had been flattened by the barbarians, and there was no room left. Whatever you're calculating, do it as soon as possible. Su Mu said.
Since Su Mu showed some ability, Chai Bancheng gave her half of the scavenging team to take with her.
On the surface, this scavenging team went outside to pick up some useful objects and retrieve them, but in fact, they collected food, touched corpses, and found out about everything.
Afraid of what comes.
Xu Ku's eyebrows were twisted together, a little dignified.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing here?" Chai Bancheng saw Su Mu walking away, and stepped forward curiously.
"You can borrow the owner's military account and try it, but it is not clear to explain it."
Half an hour later, several people stood under the gate, looking at the military tent on the hillside where only the outline could be faintly seen, and they were amazed.
"Damn, that's okay?" Chai Bancheng painted and opened his mouth wide.
"The little proprietor said it was called camouflage. Camouflage camouflage, color cloth maze, end magic! Qin Huai said with admiration.
Xu Ku also nodded secretly. Green dye was applied to the yellowed old military tent, and it really looked like that.
Although there are only two colors, the dyeing is not long-lasting, but it is better to have less rain in autumn in this big mountain, and it should be fine to resist for a few days.
"Brother Xu, if you get this thing to be promoted in the army, it is estimated that you can exchange a lot of military merits!"
Chai Bancheng stroked the camouflage military tent and couldn't put it down.
"In the future, if the proprietor likes it, he can find a larger dyeing workshop and use fine oilcloth to make it."
"At this level, it can barely be used as the roof of the water village." Xu said bitterly.
"That's not bad. With this method, I will definitely be able to knock out a thousand taels of silver from my father, and divide half of it with you when the time comes. ”
"The money is gone. The owner has a standard crossbow here, just lend me three. ”
It is not certain whether you can live or not, and you don't expect money to be bitter, so it's better to exchange it for something affordable.
"Only one handful, my father gave it when I was an adult." Chai Bancheng was a little reluctant.
"If the owner is willing to cut his love, I will exchange it with good things tomorrow."
……
It was night, and the north wind blew the tent to make the sound of hunting.
Wei Hongluan added the saved salt to Xu Ku into the porridge.
"Drink slowly. And no one is robbing you. ”
Xu wiped his mouth bitterly and smiled, "Today, I knocked a title deed from Hanzi, and the prime minister took it." ”
"In addition, this crossbow has a small crossbow with a crosshair, and the prime minister keeps it. I'm afraid the short knife in the basket is not enough. ”
"What am I going to do with the title deed you get?"
Wei Hongluan glanced at the silk book, which was stamped with Chai's seal, as well as Chai Sanhu's slightly ugly signature.
"In the future, when Wangjing comes, the prime minister's recruitment cannot be placed under the nose of the Son of Heaven."
"Judging from the small, this Wanliutang is a good place."
"This time to build a water village, the wood used for piling is dense, and it is estimated that it will not be soaked for ten years and eight years."
"The little one has discussed with the knife, and he made a big household when he went out of Chuzhou this time, and maybe the East Window incident will happen in the future. He and Qiu Niang will settle here first in the future. Those fishing boats are enough. ”
Seeing that Wei Hongluan bowed her head and was silent, she thought she was worried about the current situation.
"The prime minister goes to bed early, and the little one has to go to see the stones prepared by the knife."
The curtain fell again, and Wei Hongluan raised his head, his eyes red.
Put away the title deeds and crossbows placed on the ground, and muttered, "Xu Ku......"
