The speed of the fleet far exceeded that of the land route in the mountainous terrain, and it was impossible for the water to cross the mountains again and again.

At noon, the boats arrived at the Tianchi Lake Group, that is, the north of the Luya Mountain Scenic Area.

If a broken ship was pulled by other boats, the craftsman immediately repaired it, and the other boats continued to run forward, first reaching the end point, southwest of the mountain.

The boat that ran to drop off the cargo and came back to pick up the overland team that was supposed to run by the river.

"Broken place, why is it all mountains? Horses are a drag and always have to wait for them. ”

The fifth Zhu Hu was annoyed by the cattle on the land route, walking slowly, and felt useless.

The official and his brothers looked at him in amazement, and the chief smiled and touched Zhu Hu's head, "There are animals that follow you up the mountain and down the water, so you can feel safe, they can carry a lot of things."

If you really encounter an enemy, the land team can seize the commanding heights after keeping up, and the speed is faster than people.

Charge in the shallows, the enemy can't stop it at all, no one dares to despise the cavalry, you can understand it if you have suffered losses.

Ah! Speaking of mango planting, it is just the time when the water and grass here are abundant, and it should be grazing, and the local silver plate mushrooms can be eaten when it rains around the beginning of autumn. ”

The chief said and looked left and right, there were no herdsmen, the mountains were still mountains, the lake was still a lake, and the water and grass by the lake were growing tall.

Some people have gone to pick wild vegetables, wild onions, bracken, purslane, wild onions and wild garlic are small root garlic and large head garlic, plus bitter chrysanthemum, also called winged fruit chrysanthemum, dandelion, knotweed (bitter saucer), water celery, white artemisia, gray cabbage......

"It is true that it is possible to graze, but unfortunately there are no people to live, there are too few, and there are wild beasts, poisonous snakes, and poisonous insects on the mountain, so it is not convenient to live here."

Zhu Li took the telescope and looked at it, some of the top of the mountain looked relatively flat, belonging to the highland plain, and some places were surrounded by lakes, and it was very clear what could be done.

It is not easy to find a place to live, there is enough water for plants to grow in the highlands and plains, but there is not enough water for people's lives.

It has to be by the river, but look at the situation by the river, there are cliffs above, is it possible for adults to live on the cliffs?

"Cliffs can't build houses, can they?" Zhu Li thought about asking out.

Zhu Wentian, who was preparing to eat the box for a while, glanced at him and said in his heart, you are right!

In a few hundred years, because of the need to graze cattle and hide from the soldiers, the people ran to the cliffs here to build houses, so there was a hanging village.

Zhu Wentian knew that he couldn't say that continuing to make noodles with himself was to stir back and forth in the dough mixing machine, and his strength did not mean that he was willing to work like a fool.

Fortunately, the elder learned it, and the representative Han Han spoke up: "Your Highness actually knows that it is okay on the cliff, and some places are supported by wooden pillars, uh! The kind of stilted building.

Then build stone steps, little by little to the river, carry water uphill, live the days of sunrise and sunset, and have no quarrel with the world.

In fact...... But if there is a way, no one wants to do this, life is too inconvenient, especially when you are sick.

In the future, His Highness can find craftsmen to build houses on cliffs, and the village will produce architectural drawings, or if there are more wealthy people, take them to see ice caves and volcanoes. ”

"Oooh! We know! Zhu Li smiled: "Or a small garlic box?" It's not that it's not delicious, it turns out that you housekeepers and villagers buy eggs to ...... Well! Not bad! ”

He finally understood the purpose of the people in Xiaqiu Village to take out treasure money to buy eggs in the morning, and Juntun did not mean that there was no business.

The sergeants who came to teach literacy and other things brought treasure money, and everyone gradually got used to it, and it was more recognized than bartering.

Barter is inconvenient to price, how to exchange chickens for ducks? Do you want to add eggs?

Cut a knife of pork, the other party wants to exchange goose eggs, what if the pig kills and doesn't want to eat goose eggs?

After all, there is an intermediate equivalent, the copper coin is, and the treasure money is naturally also, and Xiaqiu Village took the opportunity to release a batch of treasure banknotes.

After that, there will be a few steam engine ships left, and the people want to go to distant places to buy and sell, and discuss who will take the things on the boat, and when the ice is thick in winter, the ship will be changed, and the tracks will be added, and it will become a snowmobile.

It's just that there is no third form of decoration, and the road here is too bad.

"If you have the opportunity, you can eat a meal and live a normal life, isn't it also a similar meal every day, except for the village."

The chief explained, everything you eat is eaten, and the box is delicious, and it tastes better than dumplings, buns, and pies.

The dough of the box is hard, and the two separate doughs are pinched together, and then baked, which is similar to the meat bun and bacon flatbread.

If you want to have a similar taste, wrap dumplings and fry them in a frying pan, which is also hard, and you will accidentally break the roof of your mouth when eating.

"Good! Work! Zhu Li felt that it made sense and helped wash the vegetables together.

The officials are dumbfounded, they are not skilled, how can any official cook for himself? Su shi? Du Fu usually deals with a meal, there is no way, boiled acorns to eat.

The four princes have too much contact with Xiaqiu Village, and they always see Hanhan cooking with their friends, so they help out by themselves, and occasionally they can flip a big spoon twice! Practiced.

A group of civil and military officials looked at the skillful movements of the four highnesses, and their eyes turned red.

Especially His Royal Highness the King of Jin washed the small garlic and stroked the skin with mud on the outside a few times, they looked at each other and nodded.

understand, with this Jin King, the people will not endure hardship, they are too down-to-earth and understand life.

Half an hour later, when everyone had lunch, the boat continued to run about the river, occasionally carrying a horse or a mule, dead.

Basically, they were all killed by guns, and one shot was shot in the head, and someone quickly ate it and dealt with it.

"It's a life-consuming journey! Seven of them, they can be fished up if they fall directly into the river, and the dead ones are too seriously injured and have no choice, and they can't find anyone if they want to foster them. ”

Zhu Di took off a bit of stinky tofu on the head of the chopsticks, shook his head and sighed.

Stinky tofu is generally saltier than bean curd, and eating a piece occasionally is good for the body, which is the smell......

"Your Highness, why are you empty?" Qianhu Tang Cheng found that four horses and three mules had large fractures on their bodies, but they died but they were shot in the head, and they were puzzled.

"Are you happy when you kill your comrades in front of you? The gun is fast! The animal did not know what was going on, only that its companion had fallen and died. ”

Zhu Fan said for the third brother, as long as the gun hits the head, as long as you find the right position, one shot at a time.

Replaced with knives, pierced and cut, living horses and mules are easily irritated.

Those who don't understand this know that the horse meat and mule meat are soaked in water over there, otherwise the taste will be sour.

……

In the evening, the team finally survived the 100-mile road, and the guards, craftsmen, palace maids, and eunuchs who ran over first made dinner.

Most of the ships stopped on this side of the mountain, and ten small steam engine boats were dismantled and sent to the guards to go over the mountain to the gray river on this side of the Sanggan River, and went to Datong to get soybeans.

The ten boats would then travel along the Sanggan River to the Northern Parallel Province, and when the team left Beiping for the Northeast, the ten boats returned to this side to be responsible for the water transportation of Datong Province.

If you don't transport it in winter, you can dismantle the steam engine, generate electricity, pump water under the ice, make popcorn sticks, and add other accessories.

"Third brother, the road must be repaired, and one must be blown out, Datong Mansion cannot be isolated, and the large grassland in the north needs logistics even more.

You have mines here, smelting iron and making steel, like the road in Lantian County, paving the railroad tracks.

The normal road and the railway cooperate with each other, and the salt from the salt pond can be sold at a lower price to make air-dried meat or something. ”

Zhu Fan saw the excited appearance of the soldiers guarding Ning Wuguan and talked to Zhu Li.
