Chapter 1307
Ying Yi said again: "After the county master has rested, he will not stay here any more. There are four thousand commoners in Yexian County, and more than 20,000 people are hidden in this deep mountain. Zun will definitely pass by. When the time comes, Xiucai, follow along."
Sun Xiucai's eyes flashed, said with a smile: "You can hide more than 20,000 people, presumably a great treasure in the mountains."
After that, Ying Yi left Fang Chengshan quietly alone.
The tyrannical physique of Ying Yi is unimaginable by ordinary people. With only a pair of legs, he can walk faster than a horse. Walking alone in the vast wilderness, he returned to the vicinity of the county seat not long after.
The county town is already a piece of white ground, except for the city wall, which is almost burnt thoroughly. Ying Yi was faintly sighed and turned to Liu Village Farmstead.
Liu Village Farmstead still looks like a waste, Ying Yi enters the village, turns left and right, and comes to a dry well.
There was a large rock weighing several thousand kilograms pressed on the dry well, only a small gap was exposed. Ying Yi stretched out his hand and pushed it, and the stone was pushed away by him as if nothing was left. Then he picked up the rope stuck at the mouth of the well and raised a person from the well a few times.
It is the woman surnamed Yuan.
Ying Yi escorted Zheng Yunzhi's family and a handful of craftsmen to Xiaowangzhuang last night. When they came back, they first quietly removed the woman surnamed Yuan from the city, and then returned home. No one knew Ying Yi's hands and feet were so fast.
For this woman, Ying Yi dismissed her. Speaking of it, if you don’t ask, if you burn to death in the city, there is nothing at the worst. It's just that Ying Yi has a bottom line after all. Since the agreed exchange, Yuan Tong has done what he explained, and Ying Yi didn't bother to kill this woman.
The woman surnamed Yuan Essence, Qi, and Spirit is very decadent. Although Ying Yi did not deliberately abuse her, the past few days Ying Yi was too busy. Sun Xiucai and Er Niu were not there, so she was full. It's always hard to get hungry.
"I don't understand, what exactly do you want to do."
The woman whispered.
Ying Yi laughed: "This has nothing to do with you. As long as Yuan Tong has done what I explained, you can go."
while speaking, Ying Yi takes a piece The wooden board, which means to write on the wooden board'here in ten days, April 23rd, Chongzhen 15th year'. After erecting the wooden board at the entrance of the village, he left Liu Village Farmstead with a woman surnamed Yuan.
This plank is reserved for Yuan Tong.
Ying Yi knew that after Yuan Tong returned from Kaifeng, he would definitely come to Liu Village Farmstead. He has nowhere to go except Liu Village Farmstead. And the time he gave Yuan Tong was ten days, starting from today, that is, April 23, to meeting here on the third day of May.
As long as Yuan Tong did what he explained, he would return the woman surnamed Yuan to Yuan Tong.
Ying Yi brought a woman surnamed Yuan back to Fangcheng Mountain. It was the eve of darkness.
At this time, Zheng Yunzhi had already left, and Wang Zhongguan also followed. But more than two hundred craftsmen are still here.
"Brother Ying, the lord of the county asked about you, saying that there is something to do with you." Erniu said: "Let you see him tomorrow."
Added: "It is said that the Baihu official called Zhang Shi to pick you up tomorrow."
Ying Yi nodded: "I know. This woman is temporarily in your care, remember not to neglect."
Er Niu scratched his forehead: "Don't worry, Ying brother."
There was nothing to say all night.
The next day.
In the morning, Ying Yi organized craftsmen to help open up wasteland. In the valley of only more than ten acres, more than 200 people worked together. Even if the tools were severely insufficient, all of them were barely opened. At noon, Zhang Shi arrived.
"Crescent Moon Valley is not far from here." Zhang Shi said: "Go out from the other end of the valley and turn over five hills on the right hand side."
Ying Yi thought After thinking about it, the so-called Crescent Valley seemed to be at the northern foot of Fangcheng Mountain. Ying Yi hasn't set foot there yet, no wonder she doesn't know. If there is no bad news about Xiaowangzhuang, I am afraid that Ying Yi will kill her after chasing her prey in a short time.
"How big is Crescent Valley?" Ying Yi asked: "Can more than 20,000 commoners be self-sufficient?"
Zhang Shidao: "Ying Baihu does not know that Crescent Valley is indeed A treasure land. Large and small have more than a dozen valleys, the large ones have thousands of acres, the small ones have hundreds of acres and dozens of acres. They are connected together like a crescent, hence the name."
"Oh." Ying Yi's nodded indifferent expression: "Wait a moment, I will leave after a few words."
Ying Yi called Er Niu and said, "I will go to see the county. Respect. You temporarily organize the craftsmen according to what I gave you in the morning. The past few days first build houses along the cliff, and then level the land in the valley."
Er Niu nodded: "I I know Brother Ying."
Ying Yi knew that Erniu might not be able to hold down more than two hundred craftsmen, but Sun Xiucai was not there and had to entrust it to him.
Zhang Shi led the way and exited the small mountain valley. He climbed up the northern slope from the salt cliff and climbed over the mountains and ridges. Only when it was dark did he reach Crescent Valley.
Under the dim sky, Ying Yi stood on the top of the mountain, and saw the little flares gathered in clusters, with some gaps in the middle, but in series, it was indeed like a crescent. It was really beautiful.
"not just in name only, but also in reality's Crescent Valley."
Ying Yi said with a smile.
Zhang Shidao: "Originally, there were many wild animals here, which were the treasures of our hunters. But now that people have come, the wild animals have long been driven away."
He said: " The mountains and streams in the half-mountain range gather here into lakes and pools, and there is no shortage of water sources. The farming land is stronger than outside the mountains."
"It's just a little smaller." Ying Yi said: "I These dozen valleys add up to only a few thousand acres of land. Four thousand commoners, each with a maximum of two or three acres, can’t feed people."
Zhang Shi scratched his head: "This I don’t know."
Ying Yi secretly sighed and said: "Let’s go, go down."
Although it is a treasure land, the land that can be cultivated in the mountains is too scarce. . These thousands of acres of land cannot support the self-sufficiency of more than 20,000 commoners. Now is not a few hundred years later, and the grain output is far lower than that of Ying Yi's time. During this period, even in the Peaceful Year, if a family has five members, how can it take 20 acres of land to get a little moisturized.
The construction of Crescent Valley is beginning to take shape. After all, Zheng Yunzhi's migration of commoners started years ago. The houses are also built along the cliffs to avoid occupying too much fertile land, and the houses are very simple and small. In addition, many caves seem to be dug out artificially.
In general, the land resources here are scarce. If you can occupy less land, you can occupy less land.
In a wider cave, Ying Yi met Zheng Yunzhi.
The cave is separated by curtains and wooden boards. The bedrooms and halls are small and well-equipped. Zheng Yunzhi is a particular person after all.
An oil lamp and two stone piers. Zheng Yunzhi told Ying Yi to sit down and said, "You should have seen the situation here."
Ying Yi nodded: "Area Too small."
Zheng Yunzhi sighed: "Yes. There are more than ten skewered grains with a total area of less than 6,000 mu. Except for the living area, it can be used for farming, less than 5,000 mu, self-sufficient It’s hard to be self-sufficient."
"Outside the mountains, the soldiers are in chaos, the mountains are narrow." Ying Yi said: "Where is the best of both worlds in the world."
"I just hope to get rid of the flow earlier. Thief. Otherwise, it will take up to three months." Zheng Yunzhi worried: "Three months later, I will be hungry."
