People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Huangfeng Valley is backed by the Zhangjiang River and is surrounded by two low mountains connected at the waist.The valley mouth is filled with a layer of water vapor all year round.There are vines everywhere in the valley, regardless of the four seasons.

Not far from it is a famous lumber yard. Many exiled people were sent here by the county government to cut down valuable timber and transport it to Annan County.

"Xiaolan, we should really choose the first class and stay in the county!" Seeing Huang Fenggu's appearance, Jiang Lihua regretted listening to Cai Xiaolan just now.

"The conditions in the county are just like this. Besides, didn't you see that the master was drooling over you?" Xu Yinlian felt aggrieved for Cai Xiaolan.

"Isn't it just being slept on——"

"Are you still willing to get sick?" Cai Xiaolan's rhetorical question became the final word, and Jiang Lihua was speechless.

"I know those people very well. If we choose to stay in the county and we don't have official status, we won't be crushed by Master Huang. The day when our money runs out, we will be driven out of the county. ." Toyokura interrupted in time. It would be offensive to talk about this topic in depth.

"But there's one thing I don't understand. Xiaolan, why do you want to change your household registration?" According to Xu Yinlian's opinion, it's not worth the money. I just changed my temporary household registration in Zhangzhou and then returned to Yangzhou. , still the original business registration.What surprised her the most was that for only two taels of gold, she could change her household registration to work registration. It was not cost-effective.

"Let's go into the valley first and find a place to build a house!" If possible, Cai Xiaolan would not be willing to spend money to change her household registration.But the tasks issued by Xiao Buping are directly related to household registration.On the way here, when Cai Xiaolan failed to complete three tasks in a row, she asked Xiao Buping why three consecutive tasks were related to transactions.

Xiao Buping's answer was unexpected. The tasks, rewards, draws, etc. given by the system are all related to level.

That's why Cai Xiaolan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to change her household registration.What's more, in this remote little place, workers are definitely better off than businessmen.

In the valley close to the outermost side, there are two rows of bamboo and wooden houses on the left and right, not connected together. Some are large and some are small, some with yards and some without yards. In total, there are more than 30 households.

"It seems that there are not many people who can afford to pay six thousand dollars?" Toyokura carefully counted the number of houses, and this number was too small.

"A while ago, the world just had a general amnesty. How could there be so many prisoners?" After Cai Xiaolan said this, she took the lead and walked inside.

She didn't want to choose the outermost houses to live next to each other. What mattered most was character.Instead of getting along slowly and getting used to your neighbor's temperament, it's better to live alone.The group of people walked along the valley, and when they approached the foot of the mountain, they finally found a satisfactory place. It was protected from the river wind blowing from the Zhangjiang River, but it was not far away from the foot of the mountain, and it was not wet. , and protected from the danger of rolling stones.

Cai Zhuangshi put down the reins in his hands and said to the guys hired from the horse shop behind him: "Just please unload the boards from the car here."

It takes more than half a day's drive from Annan City to Huangfeng Valley, and it takes a long night's journey to go back and forth in one day.So Cai Xiaolan first bought three large carts from the lumber shop to cut the wood, and hired the horse dealer's carts and horses to deliver them here. This solved the problem at once and reduced the number of trips to the county seat.

The big yellow teeth used by Huang Shi make people feel astringent when they look at them.

The price of wood in Annan City is extremely low. Compared with Yangzhou Prefecture, the price is more than six or seven times worse.The cost of labor is also surprisingly low. One day's drive, three cars, and three workers only cost a total of two thousand dollars.

"The people here are so honest!" This group of people from Yangzhou Mansion praised each other.

Compared with the simplicity of ordinary people, officials are simply evil wolves.It costs six thousand dollars to choose a second-class place, and you need to prepare five hundred dollars every quarter as rent, otherwise you will be kicked out.

The man unloaded the boards and beams and left.

Thanks to the two groundbreakings for Tianfu Jucai Residence, Cai Xiaolan and Xu Yinlian have rich experience in building houses.While Cai Xiaolan was weeding with a golden hoe, she marked out the scope of the hut.Jiang Lihua asked for a room, Xu Yinlian and her daughter asked for a room, Fengcang also asked for a room, and Cai Xiaolan was naturally not far behind.There is one room for the horse, one kitchen, one main room, and two toilets.Finally, at Cai Xiaolan's strong request, an additional room was designated to house the herbs.

"Huh? Something's wrong. Why are you hungry so quickly today?" Xu Yinlian was following Cai Xiaolan, picking up stones on the ground, when she suddenly heard her stomach growl.

Except for Fengcang, everyone else felt the same way, but the sun was still hanging in the sky and no one had the nerve to urge them to cook.

"Hahaha!" Cai Xiaolan laughed first, and then explained: "You have been staying in the carriage and doing nothing every day. Now that you are suddenly doing something, of course you will feel hungry quickly!"

She didn't realize this problem at first until she heard Xu Yinlian's stomach growling.

"There is some dried meat in the carriage, go and eat some!"

Everyone was in high spirits, even though they had been laughed at a lot, they always wanted to laugh.

……

No matter how deep the valley is, it is also a derivative of the mountain range.There are rocks on the ground. The small ones are easy to clean up, but the big ones can only be dug out of the ground and carried away by all the team members.

By the time everyone had tidied up the ground, it was already dark.The five of them spent the night on the cleared ground.Fengcang took advantage of the daytime and walked around the Yellow Wind Valley, basically getting a clear picture of the surrounding situation. The only way to enter the valley was at the mouth of the valley, and the rest of the place had been blocked with wood.

The five of them slept soundly that night and didn't get up until dawn.

"Guys, come on!"

Cai Xiaolan encouraged everyone to build the house before starting other things.After the ground was cleared, several people began to dig holes in the corners of the foundation.

There is no need to dig the pit too deep. The environment in the valley is excellent. There is no need to worry about the invasion of wind and rain. I only dug half a leg high and started inserting the whole wood for the pillars into it.

After it was upright, the whole wood was supported with large and small stones, and layer by layer it was compacted with soil.

This is both a physical activity and an endurance activity, and there is no room for relaxation.There are more rooms, so more pillars are needed. It only took two days to bury the pillars in the ground.

When the pillars are erected, they are the beams.

Setting up beams is relatively simple. You only need to cut out grooves in the whole wood and poke them into the pillars one by one.But there are more pillars, and the number of beams cannot be less.

It took another day of work.

On the fourth day, Cai Xiaolan listened to the advice of a passerby who was watching the excitement and capped it first.It rains a lot in the valley, so we need to fix the leaky areas first and then install the wooden boards in the room.

Thank you book friends for your monthly tickets, I cannot thank you enough.Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!
