Create a home with a system

Chapter 169 Start of Infrastructure Construction

Just as Tangning turned around, a shadow flashed past her sideways. If she hadn't improved her eyesight, she really wouldn't have been able to spot this thing.

"Interesting!" She squinted her eyes, followed the direction where the thing disappeared, and quickly rushed over, using all the effort rewarded by the system, swinging the bamboo pole vigorously, and finally put the little thing into the space.

It is a sika deer that has just grown up. It is not too big, and it is really hard to find it in the bushes. It is said that there are deer in the forest, which shows that no one has come to this land for a long time.

Tangning just sighed and put aside all these complicated emotions, and hastily touched a few hare and pheasant nests, even the bird nests on the branches. All the valuable ones were sold to the system, and the worthless ones were sold to the system. Keep it, it's not bad to open meat.

While wandering around, she also found some precious trees. Of course, it was all thanks to the system. If the system didn't remind her, she would probably have people cut down these trees and use them as firewood when opening up wasteland.

The system ordered Tangning to collect all the rare plants. Afterwards, Tangning filled in the pits one by one before everyone came here, so as not to let people know that there used to be a lot of valuable wood growing here.

After Tangning came down from the mountain, Qiu Jingming and the others also discovered the flat ground in the central area and the gurgling stream.

Tang Junsheng's depressed mood finally improved a lot.

"This water source is good. Judging by the amount of water, there should be no shortage of water even in the dry season." Boss Tang said with satisfaction, stroking his beard.

The men assigned by Huang Zhixing to work all laughed when they heard this.

A bald man said loudly, "My lord, there is no shortage of water here! This is the first time I have heard of a dry season and a rainy season. You are so funny!"

"There is no dry season and rainy season here?" Tang Laoer's eyes widened in disbelief. Even a water town like Jiangnan has a dry season and a rainy season.

The bald man nodded because he hadn't experienced the dry season, so he was a little dazed, "It rains all year round, almost every month, if it doesn't rain for more than three months, it's considered a drought! But it doesn't affect us. !"

That is to say, even if it does not rain for three months, the people here will not be short of water.

This realization made everyone happy again.

Wei Dazhi hurriedly asked: "Is there a flood here?"

"Flood?" The bald head nodded, "There will definitely be floods in low-lying areas, but we don't have them here. One is on high ground, and the other is near the sea. There are many rivers. When the flood comes, it goes directly to the sea. If it doesn’t accumulate, it will have no impact, especially when Prime Minister Ning came to us and has been encouraging everyone to build water conservancy projects. In recent years, even the western towns have not experienced serious floods.”

If Wei Dazhi hadn't asked, the bald head would have almost forgotten about the flood.

When everyone heard it, they looked at each other, their hearts were stabilized, and their work became more vigorous.

Because the land in the middle is really too big, at least for them, it will take several days to clear it out. In order to live here as soon as possible, everyone came up with a compromise, dug along the surrounding area, and set fire to the middle area. .

When the flames burned to the center, they could vaguely see some bulges on the ground, which should be the traces left by the foundations of those village people's constructions under the baptism of years.

Tang Junsheng is a carpenter, and he is most sensitive to this kind of thing, so he immediately asked with the bald head, "What was the house built here before?"

After so many years, the foundation is still there, which shows how strong the house is.

The bald head said nonchalantly: "Most of them are red soil and gravel, but it's humid here. On the basis of red soil and gravel, mud and shell mortar should be used to plaster the walls to prevent the walls from being eroded by rainwater. The house built in this way It is strong and does not need to be repaired frequently, but it is much better than the previous thatched cottage."

Huang Desheng, who had paid close attention to the buildings in the city, asked puzzledly, "Is it the same as the houses in the city?"

"How is that possible!" The bald man glanced at Huang Desheng with the eyes of a country bumpkin, and said, "The houses in the city are all built to resist pirates, and those stone bricks cost five yuan a piece. How can ordinary people afford such a sum?" Silver! Let me tell you, if conditions allow, when building a house, use stone bricks as the foundation and tiles as the roof, that would be the best."

Regarding the attitude of not caring about the bald head at all, everyone continued to ask cheekily: "If this is the case, how much money will it cost to build a farmyard?"

The bald head saw that they listened in, and at the same time, he was surprised and calculated seriously, "If tiles are used as the roof, the tiles alone will cost more than Wen, depending on the size of the house, generally no less than Wen. It will not exceed two taels of silver.

The foundation also depends on the size, ranging from a few hundred taels to one or two taels. If the repair is more refined, some flowers, birds, fish and insects can be carved, and it will cost an extra one or two taels of silver. According to this standard, it will cost about six or seven taels to build a yard. If you are not so particular, you can come down in threes and fours. "

Tang Junsheng was thoughtful.

During the conversation, the fire had already spread, and everyone was carrying a bucket of water, carefully guarding outside the circle, ready to put out the fire in time.

The thick smoke here naturally attracted the attention of many people. Many nearby villages sent people over to check the situation. After learning that Tang Junsheng and the others were going to move to this ominous land, the eyes of these people all changed, and they all panicked. Hurry back and send the message.

Tang Junsheng and the others didn't think too much about it. They wanted to integrate into this place when they came to a place. It was impossible to be isolated from the world all the time. It would be good to take this opportunity to spread the news, so that people who didn't know would pass by and come in from time to time to inquire.

Standing on the boulder, Tangning quietly observed the expressions of those people, and found that they were more shocked and awed, and they didn't have any bad intentions, so she didn't think too much about it.

The land continued to burn until dark. At this point, they could not return to the city, so they could only continue to work. They even found some half-baked snakes, pheasants and hares, and some roasted cockroaches from the burnt land. Everyone didn't dislike the dark and unknown eggs. They took a bucket of stream water and boiled them, washed and boiled them again, and they could barely fill their stomachs.

It hasn't rained in the past few days, and the weeds on the ground will not be wet after being burned like this. Everyone picks a few banana leaves and huddles around the campfire, sleeping on the ground.

It took two full days to turn over the soil in this large area, and the road leading to the official road had already been cleared, so it was no problem to start building the house now.

If you look at the work with a bald head and see that the work is almost done, you will take people away.

Tangning hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you something, did Master Huang say to give us the whole land?"

"I don't know about this. You can ask Mr. Huang after you return to the city. We just work with money."

"Thank you!"

Tangning didn't say anything more. After entering the city with the large army, she immediately went to the house.
