Chapter 345: Zhuangzi at the Foot of the Mountain
Shen Yunyue silently calculated the accounts and said, "This year's rice harvest is good. We can vigorously promote rice."
The people in Baijia Village are regretting their decision so much.
Now the villagers go to the Fu family's paddy fields once or twice every day, and they also spontaneously make a lot of scarecrows and stick them on the edge of the paddy fields.
I’m afraid that birds will come and steal the rice, affecting the rice yield.
Farmers have simple thoughts.
I just want to see what the yield is like so that I can stimulate myself to plant it too.
They cherish food.
Be in awe of the gifts of nature.
"Well, the rice harvest in Yanling Prefecture and Jiangnan is estimated to be good." Fu Xuanheng whistled, and a passing crow landed on the ridge in front.
Crow and Fu Xuanheng started chatting.
Shen Yunyue was a little confused when she heard this.
"What did you say?"
Fu Xuanheng took out a piece of millet cake from his pocket and placed it in his palm.
The crow hopped over happily to eat the rice cake.
He likes sweets very much and always likes to carry a few snacks and candies wrapped in oil paper in his pocket.
The crow finished eating, flapped its wings and flew away.
Shen Yunyue looked at him suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
"We need a group of war horses. I plan to find the wild horses' lair. Bring them all back and train them as war horses."
Wild horses are wild.
Also more aggressive and durable.
The conditions for survival in the wild are so complex that the wild horses that can survive are not bad.
Fu Xuanheng knew that there was a wild horse's lair nearby, and he had encountered wild horses galloping past several times.
Shen Yunyue's eyes widened. "Good fellow! You want their entire clan to serve you."
"That's about right." Fu Xuanheng smiled.
The two men rode their horses to the northernmost part, which also belonged to them, but it had not yet been cultivated.
"There is no need to cultivate the hillside for farming. Let's plant some fruit trees here to serve as a barrier." Shen Yunyue got off the horse and came to the hillside, pointing to a hillside about two miles wide.
"There is a river down here, and there is a village on the other side of the river." Fu Xuanheng looked at the village across the river. The river converged into the Cang River.
The village opposite is surrounded by rivers on two sides and mountains on two sides.
How dare they live at the foot of Mount Taiping?
This is different from the average local villagers.
"The villagers here are really brave. They actually dare to live at the foot of the mountain." Fu Xuanheng became interested.
Shen Yunyue also looked at the farm curiously. There were farmlands on the side near them.
There are sparse potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the fields.
It seems that the output is not high.
There is also a row of corn along the river bank.
Willow trees are planted along the banks of the Cang River.
"The people in this village are interesting. Let's go and take a look?" Shen Yunyue became interested and encouraged Fu Xuanheng to take her across the river in front.
In the village opposite.
Someone is watching this place from a stilt house hidden in the trees.
"Shi Tou, there are two people on the hillside looking at our village. Judging from their clothes, they seem to be from wealthy families." The person standing on the stilt house told the people below what he saw.
"I'll go tell the village chief." A little kid ran away.
"Alert everyone in the village. A stranger is appearing ahead."
"Don't worry. You can't swim over here." The person standing on the stilt house said nonchalantly.
"How did you come here with a woman?"
Someone climbed up the stilt house.
The stilt house is hidden among the trees.
People on the other side of the river can't see here at all.
The young men standing on the stilt house were talking at once:
“What are rich people doing here?”
"I don't know. There's a piece of land over there. The last time Xiaoshan went there to take a look, he said it was planted with rice."
"The rice yield is low. How can these rich people grow rice in such a barren place?"
“I don’t understand the thoughts of rich people.”
The person who climbed up behind exclaimed:
"What an amazing Qinggong."
Several people followed his gaze.
Fu Xuanheng held Shen Yunyue with one hand, jumped up and jumped over the river.
Leaped over the cornfield.
It fell to the ground nearby.
The little red horse didn't come over. It was still happily eating grass on the hillside.
The people in the stilt house felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. "Hurry up and find the village chief and tell him that someone is coming to our village."
"yes."
Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue talked as they walked.
"This place seems like a paradise."
Fu Xuanheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, "If you like, we can also build a manor there."
"I don't like it. I want to get a three-courtyard house in the city to live in in the future." Shen Yunyue has been wandering around the countryside since she came here.
If I had the chance, I would definitely like to live in the city.
"Okay. You can live wherever you want."
While talking.
A crow stopped overhead.
He chattered a few words.
Fu Xuanheng took out an oil-paper bag from his sleeve and took out a piece of rice cake.
Place it in the palm of your hand.
The crow landed on his hand and began to eat the rice cake happily.
It flies away only after it finishes eating.
"say what?"
"We found the wild horses' nest. From that hillside into the mountains, there is a valley where a group of wild horses live." Fu Xuanheng guessed that it should be the home of the wild horses he had seen.
"Shall we go over there?"
"Yeah. Didn't you say to come here and take a look first?"
"After you've seen it, go find Mustang."
The two walked a short distance.
Seven or eight tall and strong young men emerged from the bushes in front.
One of the men, dressed in a black coarse cloth robe, stepped forward and said, "Please stay."
"What brings you to our village?"
Seven or eight people looked alert.
Shen Yunyue smiled faintly. "We live across the river, and that hillside is also ours."
"This place is a bit far from where we live. I'd like to ask if you are willing to help us with some work?"
"Cut down all the trees on the hillside and plant fruit trees for us."
When the other party heard this, he was shocked.
Planting fruit trees in early autumn?
"Are you sure you want to plant fruit trees in this season?"
Shen Yunyue nodded gently, "Yes, the fruit trees we planted are not found in the Great Zhou. I heard from the people of Nanli Kingdom that they were planted in this season."
Shen Yunyue is talking complete nonsense.
It’s just that the fruit trees that have been soaked in the space are different from other fruit trees.
It’s okay to plant in this season.
"How is the salary calculated?"
"Cutting down trees and planting fruit trees is hard work. It pays 20 coins a day, plus two meals a day, which translates to 25 coins a day."
The other party heard it.
The price is very fair.
They might not be able to find such high-paying jobs in town.
"Why did you come to us?"
Shen Yunyue raised her eyebrows speechlessly, her tone a little impatient.
"Are you suffering from paranoia? I've already told you that our long-term workers have nowhere to stay here. My husband and I saw a farm here, so we came here to ask if you guys would like to work there."
"What are you poor people afraid of? I'm rich and powerful, and I'm not afraid. I can't find two taels of silver on you." Shen Yunyue looked them up and down. "All of your money is not worth as much as the hairpin on my head."
"A bunch of grown men don't even dare to do the work right outside their homes. No wonder they're so poor staying at the foot of the mountain."
The other men: ...Are you polite?
After being scolded by Shen Yunyue, several people felt embarrassed to refuse.
