Chapter 125: Enclosure

Since it was decided to develop on the mountain, Ning Changrong went to gather everyone the next day to inform him of the news, and as he expected, no one objected, and everyone was very supportive.

The news that a few people came back after coming down the mountain yesterday had already spread here, if it weren't for Ning Changrong who had greeted them in advance, and they also believed in this family, I was afraid that one of the corpses under the mountain was one of them.

"Evergreen, you can do it with confidence, we all support you." Village Chief Ning spoke in unison.

"Yes, if it weren't for you, how would we have survived until now? That bullshit government is also a no-brainer, and it is better to rely on us than on ourselves. ”

Ning Daniu's voice is supported by most young people.

Village Chief Ning saw that some old people were still a little worried, and said loudly: "There are wars everywhere, it would be good for us to have a life to live now." Life is the same everywhere, it's safer on this mountain, at least no one urges us to pay taxes, and no one forces us to serve in forced labor, so we don't have to worry about thieves suddenly rushing to our homes, at most, it's a little harder now, there are so many of us, can't we build another village with hard work? ”

"I know that some of you may still want to wait for those thieves to be beaten away by the imperial court and then go back to farming, so have you ever thought that after those thieves are driven away, there will be no other thieves? Now that the world is in chaos, this thief can't be killed, even if these courts will take care of us, but when they come, it is estimated that our grave grass will be three feet high! And what were the officers and soldiers who helped us drive away the displaced people last time, have you forgotten? Will those people work in vain? ”

"Evergreen, no matter what others think, our family has your back. In the future, you will have the final say here! Anyway, Xiayuan Village is gone, and my name as the village chief is useless. From now on, you will be our leader. ”

Ning Changrong was a little moved, this old man usually likes to throw work to him, and he can still carry it clearly and rely on it at critical moments.

With the beginning of Village Chief Ning, the other conservative old men have all thought clearly, yes, after the thieves they are still thinking about are gone, they will continue to go back to Xiayuan Village to farm, but who knows if there will be another group of thieves coming? Will they still have the good luck they have now?

After thinking clearly, everyone responded to Ning Changrong one after another.

"Evergreen, just do as you say, and we'll live here in the future. You're a capable guy, and the big guys are willing to listen to you. ”

Lai Pozi's voice was the loudest, "In the future, our family will listen to Evergreen!" You said that chasing chickens will never chase dogs! My sons, you can call them at your disposal! ”

Mrs. Ding was not to be outdone, "My two sons Changrong, don't be polite, you have a lot of strength in this body!" ”

Ning Changrong's family looked at the faces below who were full of trust in them with emotion.

At this time, Ning Changrong felt that the pressure on his body was even heavier, since everyone was willing to believe in him and follow him, then he would never let these people down.

The position of the leader is set, and the next step is to prepare to renovate the place where they live.

Before, they were not sure whether they wanted to live here for a long time, and the houses they built were all temporary houses, and if it rained, they might have to hide in the two cement houses of Ning Changrong's house or in the belly of the mountain.

Since you have decided to live for a long time, of course, you have to place it well.

Ning Changrong asked Ning Da Niu to take people to the place where they had found the taro before, and then to find out if there were any taro, if not, he would also dig up the rhizomes, and he was going to transplant those taro into the belly of this mountain.

He is responsible for leading people to plan the site, if you want to live for a long time, you can't build it like they are now.

Wang Xiujuan was responsible for taking the bag of seeds that Ning Changrong had bought in the West Market earlier.

Ning Husheng was responsible for taking people to dig limestone, and Ning Qingxi was preparing the raw materials to be used as cement.

Ning Changrong planned to use cement to build the houses in the back, so that they would not only be windproof, rainproof, and frostproof, but most importantly, they would not have to worry about beasts.

Ning Husheng led people to carry limestone on this mountain several times, and Ning Qingxi burned it while using the lime and sand to build a furnace.

"Third uncle, is the stove ready?" Ning Qingxi sat in front of a small makeshift table, on which he didn't know what to draw.

"Okay, Sissy, go see if it's what you want, right?" Ning Laosan was covered in mud.

The stove he had built with someone had dried out today, and it had been thoroughly burned inside. After he checked, there was no problem, so he came over and called Ning Qingxi.

Ning Qingxi followed Ning Laosan to the stove he had specially asked them to build, bent down and walked in, and reached out to touch the wall of the stove.

Satisfied, he walked out.

Before, they calcined the limestone directly outside, and the efficiency was too low, so she simply burned the limestone while making a furnace, and then directly put the limestone into the furnace to burn, which would be much faster.

"It's okay, third uncle, in the future, just put the stones you brought back into this furnace and burn them, and they will be the same as before they were fired, and then they will be shoveled out and piled aside to use directly."

After Ning Qingxi finished speaking, he left, returned to the room and continued to write and draw.

Ning Da, who was in charge of carrying the limestone with Ning Laosan, sighed, "Earlier, I also said that those stone houses were built, and there was not a single gap, and I thought they were originally in this mountain." I didn't expect it to be built by this thing that Xixi came up with. ”

Ning Xiaoniu touched his head, "We live in the mountains, but we can still live in such a good stone house, which is much better than the house under the mountain." ”

"But isn't it, don't look at this thing like a lump of mud at first, wait for him to do it for two or three days, I'm afraid it won't be able to be smashed with a hammer." Mrs. Han's son quietly smashed it with the big stone, and finally shook his hand, and the stove didn't fall off at all.

When Ning Laosan went up the mountain with his eldest brother and second brother, he knew what this thing was made of.

At this time, they were not so shocked, interrupting the conversation of several people, "Okay, hurry up and go out and carry the stones with me, we still have so many houses waiting to be built." I don't know how long we will have to memorize it. Do you still have time to talk? ”

It is really limited in manpower, most of them follow Ning Changrong to plan the land, fill in the land, and be responsible for delimiting a safe range of activities, and there are more places that need manpower.

So much so that only women and mothers-in-law were left in Wang Xiujuan's farming.

The whole camp was moving, no one was idle, even the half-grown child was responsible for picking up stones by the brook.

In the safe area of the circle, pick up some fallen firewood.

After all, there are more places to use firewood to calcine stones.

Fortunately, it was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and even if the smoke from their calcining stones came out, it would have already dissipated after reaching a height of several hundred meters.
