Chapter 486: Two Other Ways to Make Money
Well, a three-character scripture seems to cost two taels of silver, and one hundred and sixty copies are three hundred and twenty taels. Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, don't say how good it is, you can't buy too bad, seventy or eighty taels of silver are wanted!
This is good, and I will donate four hundred taels at once.
Fortunately, it is now, if it was in the past, I would not be able to bear it!
The two roads are already under construction, and Guan Wei and Fang Shan manage one side.
Especially the road leading to Zhushan, the Wuyi people are building more energetically, because the bamboo forest is now making money for them.
They never thought that they could still sell so much money by digging up two bamboo shoots to take home if they wanted to eat them!
Now every family is reluctant to eat bamboo shoots, and no one will secretly dig them with greed, saying that they can sell more money to buy food.
Qiao Xiaoru and the others were a little crying and laughing when they heard it, and they felt sad.
When this **** went up the mountain, it happened that Wu Duo dragged her brother to see the road repair, and she didn't come back until the afternoon.
Seeing Qiao Xiaoru and the foolish husband coming, Wu Duo was very happy, holding her hand and giggling endlessly, her eyebrows fluttered and told her how much silver she had earned selling bamboo shoots in the past few days, and said that the prey that the people who went hunting had skinned and stored it according to Tang Liujinjiao's treatment, and it would not be damaged again, and when she accumulated a batch next year, she could sell a lot of silver......
Qiao Xiaoru was also happy for her when she heard it.
The two talked for a while, and Qiao Xiaoru noticed that Tang Liujin didn't seem to be there, so he asked with a smile: "I thought he went with you to see the road repair, why didn't you see him?" ”
Wu Duo said with a smile: "He took four people to the state city the day before yesterday, saying that he would buy a batch of hoes, firewood knives, shovels, iron drills, hammers, hemp ropes and other iron tools to build roads!" Where in our tribe are these things, I think he has a point, maybe they will be used in the future, so let him buy them! I guess it's time to come back today! ”
Qiao Xiaoru understood and said with a smile: "This is true, it will be more convenient to have these iron tools." ”
Iron tools are not as good as others, and now they can be bought, if the quantity is large, they will have to wait there for two more days, Qiao Xiaoru estimated, but I am afraid that Tang Liujin is unlikely to come back today.
However, he didn't tell Wu Duoduo about it, but smiled: "I have brought you two more ways to make money, do you want to hear about it?" ”
Wu Duo's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded again and again and said that she wanted to listen, and it was not an exaggeration for Qiao Xiaoru's words to say that it was a holy decree now.
Qiao Xiaoru smiled and said to her simply, and when everyone came back in the evening, Wu Duo called someone to invite a few elders in the clan to come over and talk about it together.
The Wuyi tribe is different from other tribes, the elders don't have much power, and they don't care about daily affairs, basically the patriarch has the final say!
The patriarch doesn't care about things, everything is in the hands of the eldest lady, and everyone from top to bottom is used to it, so naturally there is no objection.
Wu Duo slapped his palm on his leg happily, saying that he would do both things tomorrow!
Dam fish farming, logging mushroom fungus.
After the elders left, Qiao Xiaoru, Li Ledger and the others discussed it carefully.
To grow mushroom fungus, choose a warm and humid valley flatland, and ask someone to cut down the tree while building a mushroom shed.
For a tribe of nearly 30,000 people, if you want to improve your life by cultivating mushroom fungus, the scale naturally cannot be small.
The crackling sound of the abacus in the Li account room indicates that a three-acre mushroom and fungus shed needs to be built with at least 20 pieces to become large.
So the next day everyone had to go to find a suitable place first, it is unlikely that twenty sheds would be concentrated in one place, but they should not be too scattered, and it is best to divide them into three.
As for the source of wood for growing shiitake mushrooms, Qiao Xiaoru and the others didn't think much about it.
One is that they don't have anything else here, that is, there are many trees, and cutting down and planting shiitake mushrooms and fungus will definitely not damage the ecological environment. Proper felling of trees in the forest is conducive to the healthy growth of the forest.
It is better to have something useful than to have many people in the forest every year who fall to the ground and decay.
As for fish farming, Qiao Xiaoru planned to raise the fish unique to the ravines here, and didn't plan to buy fish fry from outside - well, if you must buy fish fry from outside, you might as well buy some soft-shelled turtles.
The water quality in the mountains is excellent, and it is a local specialty fish, which will definitely be able to sell for a good price.
Therefore, we had to walk the long streams and ditches again, select three or four suitable dikes to intercept them, and then let the tribesmen catch them from other places and put them in to raise.
Naturally, proper feeding is indispensable in order to promote growth.
The next day, Guan Wei and Fang Shan still went to the two road construction sites to manage, and after repairing the road, they arranged for people to sort out the bamboo forest and persimmon forest.
Liang Jiao'er was at home, and Li Tent said that he wanted to follow Qiao Xiaoru, Silly Fujun, and Wu Duo into the mountain together.
Today, let's take a look and choose a suitable place to build a shed for cultivating shiitake mushrooms and fungus.
Wu Duo and others have grown up shuttling between these mountains since they were children, and they are very familiar with the conditions in the mountains, although they are not used to seeing every grass and tree, but they are very clear where there are wide valleys and where there are mountains and streams.
On this day, there was no need to take the wrong road, Wu Duo directly took them to two places, the valley was flat and wide, a stream of about two meters at the foot of the mountain on one side gurgled by, and the huge mountain was luxuriant, and the thick shade covered the sky and the sun.
Every day, even on a sunny day, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, it is all covered by the shadows cast by the mountains, dark and cool.
Qiao Xiaoru discussed a few words with Li's account room, and they both felt that this place was very suitable, and even if they said yes, they would build a shed here.
It's just that all kinds of beasts are infested in the mountains, and you have to make a sturdy yard to enclose the shed, so as to prevent wild boars, wild sheep, muntjac, etc. from crashing into it and making trouble. If you are unlucky, occasionally there will be brown bears and tigers that are really deep in the mountains and old forests, and even they dare not easily set foot in them, running out in search of food.
The roof of the shed must also be sturdy, otherwise monkeys and all kinds of birds will come and spoil it.
It was still early, and according to Qiao Xiaoru's request last night, Wu Duo and the others led them to find a suitable ravine.
In the end, three places were selected, each belonging to different ravines, and each section of the selected place was more than 300 meters long in a relatively wide and gentle place where the water surface was relatively wide and gentle, flowing through an open valley.
The dam should be intercepted, deepened and widened, and several houses should be built on the open space next to it, such as stacking fish food, various tools, and accommodation for people who need to take care of the fish at special times.
At the same time, it is more convenient to divert and drain the stream, and dig and build two or three small ponds next to it, so as to breed fish fry and raise fish seedlings.
