In the afternoon, Su Yi came back with a few letters.
The letter was written by Gu Jiu, and it contained information about the situation in the city's restaurants, as well as news from the outside world that he had heard.
The restaurant's business is still good during the Spring Festival.
The people in the city all love it, eating hot pot while watching the snow scenery.
Even now, there are very few vegetables to eat, but there is still a lot of meat and soy products, and everyone is still enthusiastic.
The kang that Su Nanxing gave to the county magistrate has also been put into use.
The county magistrate built two extra-large kangs directly in the orphanage in the city.
One for adults to stay in when they go out, and one for children.
This winter, all the beggars have a place to protect themselves.
Although they couldn't move around and could only lie in bed, at least they didn't have to worry about freezing to death.
Gu Jiu's letter also contained information about the situation outside.
What shocked Su Nanxing the most was that the emperor had ordered Prince Zhennan to lead his troops to the capital.
It turned out that the three rebel kings suddenly united together and marched straight to the capital.
The emperor was frightened and issued an imperial decree, forcing the Prince of Zhennan to go to the capital to rescue him.
The imperial edict has not arrived yet, but it will be here soon.
This news was passed on by the Gu family members who stayed in the capital.
With the imperial edict, Prince Zhennan will probably leave the border soon.
By then, the enemy country will definitely send troops, and the border will no longer be stable.
The border town where Gu Jingmo is located is the first target of the enemy's attack.
Fortunately, Su Er was arranged to stay with Gu Jingmo, otherwise Su Nanxing would be worried to death now.
Su Nanxing did not hide the news that Prince Zhennan might be leaving from everyone.
After hearing this, Su Mu could only feel fortunate that the mountain was now blocked by heavy snow and the imperial edict would arrive even later.
Everyone has more time to prepare.
Su Mu suddenly suggested building a wall to surround the entire village.
Although it is cold now, it is not easy to start construction.
But a wooden fence wouldn't be bad either.
It will be more convenient to patrol the village then.
Moreover, wooden walls are quick to build, the mountain is full of trees, and the materials are easy to find.
Su Nanxing also agreed with Su Mu's proposal.
It's winter and everyone in the village is fine.
In fact, Su Nanxing felt that building a concrete wall would be safer.
But at the moment, there is not that much cement.
The next day, the entire village of Taohua Village was in action.
Su Nanxing took the hunting team to the mountains to find suitable wood.
The sumu was responsible for planning the route of the village wall and setting up simple watchtowers at certain intervals.
Everyone in the village, big and small, has their own tasks.
The elderly and children do some light work, such as snow removal.
The entire Taohua Village was bustling with activity, having lost its former tranquility.
On the mountain, Su Nanxing was following Grandpa Su, looking for suitable wood.
If you ask who knows the most about wood, it is undoubtedly Grandpa Su.
Grandpa Su has several kinds of suitable wood in mind for building walls.
But it is not easy to find, especially now that it is cold in winter, it is not easy to find wood and it is not easy to cut down trees.
Fortunately, with the strong man Su Nanxing here, chopping wood is not that difficult.
For five consecutive days, Su Nanxing was cutting wood in the mountains.
We slept in caves on the mountain at night. Because it took too much time to go back and forth, we found a suitable cave and moved in.
Fortunately, the villagers often go hunting, so they are not afraid even in the deep mountains.
On the contrary, they get excited when they encounter prey, because that means free meat to eat!
Transporting timber down the mountain is not an easy task.
Relying solely on manpower is too slow.
Su Nanxing thought about it and suddenly remembered a plot he had vaguely seen on TV about using rivers to transport wood.
Although I can’t remember which TV series it was from, I can still use it as a reference.
Just make sure that the wood does not sink to the bottom of the river and that it is intercepted at the right location.
To see whether this idea is feasible, we first have to see whether the wood selected by Grandpa Su can float on the water.
Then you have to make sure there are any suitable rivers nearby that can reach the river near the village.
Su Nanxing told Grandpa Su his thoughts.
The first question is that the several types of wood selected by Grandpa Su can all float on the water.
There are also some that cannot float, but they are relatively rare.
So now, it’s just a matter of finding a suitable water flow.
This task was given to Zhao Shouzi. He was always the best at finding things in the mountains and forests.
Two lines are running in parallel, and Zhao Shouzi is looking for a suitable stream.
Everyone over there also worked hard to transport the cut wood to the village.
The snow has stopped these days, making it convenient for people in Taohua Village to go up and down the mountain.
Su Nanxing looked at the clear sky and asked Grandpa Su if the snow had stopped and whether the temperature would rise soon.
Grandpa Su felt that this was only temporary and there might be more snow to come.
It would be bad if there was still snow.
Fortunately, the houses in the village are all new and very sturdy.
However, many dilapidated houses in the city may not be able to withstand the heavy snow and are at risk of collapse.
Two days later, Zhao Shouzi found a suitable stream.
Su Nanxing was very excited, everyone was exhausted these two days!
Now I can finally relax!
Su Nanxing went to the place and took a look. Although Zhao Shouzi said it was a small river, it was at least three or four meters wide, and it was a quite large river.
Su Nanxing picked up a thick piece of wood and threw it directly into the water.
The wood floated up and then rained down.
Zhao Shouzi said at this time: "I have arranged villagers to guard several turning points.
