Chapter 284: Land reclamation

It took three days and after the general framework of the bamboo building was set up, laymen like Li Weizhen and others could not get involved.The technical level of the next work is relatively high, and those who don't know how to do it will only help more and more, and Luo Yicheng doesn't have the time to teach them one by one, which is more troublesome than working alone.

It would be fine if the construction period is not overdue, but the bamboo building needs to be erected as soon as possible, so it is really unreasonable for so many people to always be crowded in one room.

The structure of the bamboo building is a stilt type, and the ground floor is supported by wooden piles and does not allow people to live there.In Tiannan, where there is a lot of rain and hot weather, people in many mountain villages will adopt this structure to build houses, which are moisture-proof, flood-proof, and ventilated and cool.

The pillars on the ground floor are still thick and straight ginkgo wood columns, a total of 48, standing on large stone piers, can well support the building.

Walking up the wooden ladder to the second floor is the living area.On the second floor, there are main rooms, left and right wing rooms, and a winding corridor; outside the gate of the main room is a large balcony, and there are eight wing rooms in total, separated by composite wood boards of bamboo strips.

The general stilt-style bamboo building, no matter how big or small, only has the upper floor for people to live in, and the lower floor is elevated.However, Luo Yicheng added two attics above the second floor for viewing and leisure purposes, which can be regarded as a high-rise building with three floors as a whole!

The roof is double-sloped, taking into account the effects of drainage and sunshade.Most of the people at the foot of the mountain use thatch-made thatched roofs as their roofs, and because of Luo Yicheng's ability to burn kilns, he fired fish-scale tiles with great care.In this way, the waterproof and drainage capabilities will be better, and the overall will be more atmospheric and beautiful!

The bamboo building with natural bamboo as the main body is matched with gray-blue fish scale tiles fired the day after tomorrow. Such a combination is really eye-catching.

I also understand why many lonesome cultivators who are alone will open up a cave or occupy a natural cave, and they will call it the name of "Beautiful Cave" as their practice residence.Because building a house is really a technical job!

If Li Weizhen settled here alone, the cave on Qingji Peak would probably be his "home".

Li Wei really couldn't help with building the house, but he wasn't idle either.I saw that this morning, he took a group of people to a hill ten miles away, thinking about how to turn the entire hill into a granary in the future.

At that time, Li Weizhen once learned a sentence from Nie Geng, "At the beginning of cultivation, seven points depend on practice, and three points depend on eating!"

For monks on the mountain, eating is also a science. It is difficult for low-level monks to absorb and transform the aura of heaven and earth through meals and drinks to maintain their life needs.There is indeed such a thing as Bigu Pill, which can be made by an alchemist basically, and it is also easy to buy in the black market.

But Bigu Dan can only make people don't need to eat or drink.Of course, for mortals, taking it for a long time can prolong life.But for monks, taking Bigu Pill is not beneficial to practice.

But spiritual grains are different. Eating grains containing natural spiritual energy can naturally nourish the flesh and blood organs and improve the sense of energy.Especially for some practitioners who have not stepped into the Qi training period, this is a gentle method to lay the foundation of practice, which is beneficial without any harm.

But now among the group of people headed by Li Weizhen, there are as many as five people who haven't even set foot on such a small threshold of foundation cultivation.Even if he has progressed step by step, Zhuang Ming, who has reached the late stage of foundation establishment, is still a short distance away from stepping into the hurdle of Qi practitioners!

Although there are only 11 people in this team now, excluding the little Taoist priests who are determined to go to Longhu Mountain in the future, there are only ten people.If only relying on buying food in the black market, and going to Fengcheng every month, it would be enough to eat.

But what if this team continues to grow in the future?This is not unfounded worry, but something that will definitely happen, just sooner or later.

Unless one day, Li Weizhen gave up his ambition to rebuild the Taiyi Sect.Otherwise, the number of this team will continue to grow. As long as the development does not stagnate, talents will always be scarce.

Even if it is the problem of food, it cannot be completely self-sufficient, nor can it be completely dependent on external purchases.Otherwise, the matter of rebuilding the sect would be a joke.

So, in order to solve this problem with far-reaching implications for the future.Li Weizhen thought about what he should do as early as possible.

After all, farming is a matter of watching the sky and eating. If you are thinking about it and worrying about it, if you don’t wave the hoe and sweat honestly, where will you get the harvest?If you wait until spring to sow seeds in summer, then drink the northwest wind all year round!

In fact, it's just the beginning of spring, and the farmers in the mundane world are not in a hurry to go to the fields to plant rice seedlings.Don't talk about it, I won't be busy with this matter until Qingming.When it comes to farming, mastering integrity is also very important.

But people have fields at home, and they have kept farming in the past, so they can't be in a hurry.However, Li Weizhen and the others have a fart of fertile land, and there are only a large area of ​​barren mountains and wild ridges.

Therefore, it is necessary to open up arable fields within the next month in order to achieve the goal of sowing spiritual grains.

As early as yesterday, Li Weizhen had already picked a hill that was no more than fifty feet high.Then, please move the freckled boy to start a mountain fire, burning all the weeds and trees.

This favor, the boy is still willing to help.Because this is one of the few things he can do now, and he can do it well.

For slash-and-burn farming and land reclamation, the predecessors have left wisdom!

But the wildfire encirclement alone is not enough. If it is in the plains, maybe things will be almost busy.Li Weizhen's choice of this mountain means that the cultivated land he wants to cultivate is in the form of terraced fields.

Since it is a terraced field, it will take a lot of manpower to transform the terrain layer by layer.To prevent water and soil erosion by hoeing and moving the soil, each floor has to be built with rocks, water storage and drainage, and roads have to be planned...

It looks like a very thankless task.In fact, this is also a forced choice.Even if Li Weizhen was not a child who had worked in the fields since he was a child and grew up eating his own food, he knew that it was easier to farm in the plains.

The Dayanling area is not without a small amount of flat land, and there will always be some flat valleys and depressions.But those places are either too far away from where they live, or they are not suitable for farming, or they are hidden dangers.

In the future, those who will be responsible for farming will not be Qi practitioners, but mainly people with relatively low cultivation levels in the team.Developing cultivated land in places that are too far and dangerous is undoubtedly easy now and troublesome in the future.

The few horses that had been ridden back from Baixiong Village before were also in use now, and they could still turn the soil after they were put on plows.It's just that it's okay if it's dry land now, but when it becomes a paddy field in the future, this job must be buffalo to do it neatly, otherwise it will get rotten hooves.And although these are good horses, they are still not as good as cattle in terms of endurance, and the most they will do in the future will be to pull carts and transport millet.

In this wasteland reclamation team, apart from the leader Li Weizhen, there are also Ye Tong, Zhuang Ming, the little Taoist priest, and cousins ​​Fu Jingzhang and Gu Fuying.

The little Taoist was originally a guest, and Li Weizhen was really embarrassed to call him.However, the little Taoist swears that he is a good farmer.In the past, the secular Taoist temple in his hometown, because the incense was not prosperous, the temple was so poor, if it wasn't for him being able to grow some food, he might not be able to open the pot all year round.

Looking at the figure of the little Taoist priest who seems to be thinner than his peers, it seems that there is such a thing as a last stop and no next stop, and he is also a miserable person who has not enjoyed a few days of blessings!

In fact, when he went to the barren mountain covered with scorched earth, the way the little Taoist swung his hoe was much more proficient than Li Weizhen, a mountain boy who hadn't been in the fields for several years.

As for Ye Tong and Zhuang Ming, nothing good happened. Although they didn't know how to do farm work, they had strength and obeyed orders.One person used a hoe to trim the terrain, and the other drove a horse to plow the soil. After studying hard, he became somewhat decent.

As for Fu Jingzhang, the son of a rich family, he had no choice but to say a few words. He didn't move the hoe a few times before his waist became sore and his legs were weak, and his palms were bubbling.Even though Gu Fuying was like this, at least she didn't have so many thoughts on her lips.

Before going to work, Li Weizhen had already spoken in vain.If he couldn't bear it, he could personally send the two of them down the mountain, even if it was all the way home.Anyway, for Yu Jian, it only takes half a day to go back and forth.

But if you want to stay, Li Weizhen will only say it once, and will not say more, because it is the truth.There are no idlers here, even if it is a little sword fairy like him, whose cultivation base is enough to open a mountain with a single sword.Now they are facing the loess and their backs are facing the sky, so who is going to pity them?

These days, Fu Jingzhang's desire to become a fairy on the mountain has been shaken like never before.This was a strong shock that he had never experienced even when he was captured in Baixiong Village.It turns out that the immortal who is so high up and can swim far above the clouds with the wind, still has to do such a fucking thing?

What kind of immortal is this cultivator?Not chic at all, not quack at all!

One night, Fu Jingzhang quietly complained to his cousin, crying bitterly and regretting that he should not give up the comfortable life in the past and choose to take this troubled road.Thinking about the next day, he proposed to Li Weizhen the idea of ​​going home.

How do you think, Gu Fuying, who had never been very supportive of Fu Jingzhang's longing for immortality before, refused to go home with him.Said that in the past, he did not believe that there were really any mountain gods in this world, but now that he has seen them and suffered a lot, there is no reason to give up halfway.

In fact, the more important point is that after being kidnapped by bandits, Gu Fuying was deeply disappointed by Fu Jingzhang's immaturity and weakness.She felt that this encounter was completely a turning point in her life. Do she really want to entrust her future happiness to this man?

Or, one day, I will be able to travel thousands of miles with the sword to see the world?The world is so big that even immortals can see it. What good man still needs you, Fu Jingzhang?Furthermore, the glory and wealth in the world, compared with the immortal blessing of long-sighted longevity, is just the gravel under your feet!

In the end, Fu Jingzhang didn't make it, so he had no choice but to come and make peace!
