Chapter 36: Crescent Valley

Ying Yi said again: "After the county lord rests, he will not stay here for long. There are 4,000 households in Ye County, and more than 20,000 people are hiding in this deep mountain, and the county will definitely pass. When the time comes, you can follow and take a look. ”

Sun Xiucai's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "More than 20,000 people can be hidden, and there must be a big treasure in the mountain." ”

Then said goodbye, and Yingyi quietly left Fangcheng Mountain alone.

Yingyi's physical strength is unimaginable to ordinary people. With only one pair of legs, he walked faster than a galloping horse. In the vast wilderness, he walked alone, and returned to the vicinity of the county seat in a short time.

The county seat was already a white field, except for the city wall, which was almost completely burned inside. Ying Yi sighed slightly and turned to the direction of Liujiazhuang.

Liujiazhuang is still in the abandoned state, Yingyi entered the Zhuangzi, turned left and right, and came to a dry well.

There was a large stone of several thousand catties pressed on the dry well, and only a trace of gap was exposed. Yingyi stretched out his hand and pushed, and the stone was pushed away by him, and then he picked up the rope stuck at the mouth of the well, and lifted a person out of the well a few times.

It was the woman surnamed Yuan.

Last night, Yingyi escorted Zheng Yunzhi's family and a group of craftsmen to Xiaowangzhuang, and when she came back, she quietly transferred the woman surnamed Yuan out of the city, and then made her first return. No one knew that Yingyi was so fast.

For this woman, Yingyi disdains it. Speaking of which, if you don't ask, it's not a big deal to let yourself burn to death in the city. It's just that Ying Yi has a bottom line after all, since the agreed exchange, Yuan Tong has done what he explained, and Ying Yi doesn't bother to kill this woman.

The woman surnamed Yuan is very depressed, although Yingyi did not deliberately abuse, but Yingyi has been too busy these days, Sun Xiucai and Erniu are not there, so she is hungry and always unhappy.

"I don't understand what the hell you're trying to do. ”

The woman whispered.

Ying Yi smiled: "This has nothing to do with you. As long as Yuan Tong does what I explained, you can go. ”

While speaking, Yingyi took a wooden board, wrote on the wooden board with his fingers, 'Ten days later, here, April 23, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen', erected the wooden board at the entrance of the village, and left Liujiazhuang with a woman surnamed Yuan.

This plank was reserved for Yuan Tong.

Ying Yi knew that after Yuan Tong came back from Kaifeng, he would definitely come to Liujiazhuang. Except for Liujiazhuang, he had nowhere to go. And the time he gave Yuan Tong was ten days, starting from today, that is, April 23, to meet here on the third day of the fifth month.

As long as Yuan Tong did what he explained, he would return the woman surnamed Yuan to Yuan Tong.

Ying Yi took the woman surnamed Yuan back to Fangcheng Mountain, and it was already the eve of dark.

At this time, Zheng Yunzhi had already left, and Wang Zhongguan actually followed. But more than 200 craftsmen are still here.

"Brother Ying'er, the county lord asked about you, saying that he had something to discuss. Erniu said: "Let you go to see him tomorrow." ”

He added: "It is said that Zhang Shi's hundred household officials will be called to pick you up tomorrow." ”

Ying Yi nodded: "I see." This woman is in your custody for the time being, remember not to be negligent. ”

Erniu scratched his head: "Don't worry, Brother Ying." ”

Nothing was said all night.

Following.

In the morning, Yingyi organized craftsmen to help open up the wasteland, and more than 200 people worked together in the valley of only more than ten acres of land, even if the tools were seriously insufficient, they were all barely opened. At noon, Zhang Shi arrived.

"Crescent Valley isn't far from here. Zhang Shi said: "Go out from the other end of this valley and go over five hills to the right-hand side." ”

Ying Yi thought about it, the so-called Crescent Valley seemed to be at the northern foot of Fangcheng Mountain. Yingyi hasn't set foot in it yet, no wonder I don't know. If there is no bad news from Xiao Wangzhuang, I am afraid that it will not be long before Yingyi chases the prey and kills it over there.

"How big is the crescent moon valley?" asked Yingyi, "Can more than 20,000 people be self-sufficient?"

Zhang Shi said: "Ying Baihu doesn't know that the Crescent Moon Valley is indeed a treasure land. There are more than 10 valleys of all sizes, thousands of acres of large ones, and hundreds or dozens of acres of small ones. Connected together, like a crescent moon, hence the name. ”

"Oh. Ying Yi nodded noncommittally: "You wait a minute, I'll explain a few words and leave." ”

Yingyi called Erniu and said, "I'll go to see the county honor." For the time being, you shall organize the craftsmen according to what I have given you in the morning, and build houses along the cliff in the next few days, and then level the land in the valley. ”

Erniu nodded: "I know Brother Ying'er." ”

Ying Yi knew that Erniu might not be able to suppress more than 200 craftsmen, but now that Sun Xiucai was not there, he had to entrust it to him.

Zhang Shi led the way in front, out of the small valley, climbed the north slope from near the salt cliff, all the way over the mountains and mountains, and when it was dark, he arrived at the crescent moon valley.

Under the dim skylight, Yingyi stood on the top of the mountain, only to see the dots of firelight gathered into a cluster, with some intervals in the middle, but in series, it is indeed like a crescent moon, which is really beautiful.

"A veritable crescent moon valley. ”

Ying Yi smiled.

Zhang Shidao: "Originally, there were many wild animals here, which were treasures for us hunters. It's just that now that people have come, the wild things have long been driven away. ”

He added: "Half of the mountain streams converge here to form lakes and pools, and there is no shortage of water. Farming is stronger than outside the mountains. ”

"It's just a little smaller. Ying Yi said: "I think these dozen or so valleys add up to only a few thousand acres of land. 4,000 households, each with a maximum of two or three acres, cannot support people. ”

Zhang Shi scratched his head: "I don't know." ”

Yingyi sighed secretly and said, "Let's go, let's go down." ”

Although it is a treasure land, the land that can be cultivated in the mountains is too scarce. These thousands of acres of land cannot support the self-sufficiency of more than 20,000 people. It is not a few hundred years from now, and the grain production is much lower than it was in the next year. During this period, even in a peaceful year, if a family of five is a family, how can it take twenty acres of land to live a little more nourishing.

The construction of Crescent Valley has begun to take shape. After all, Zheng Yunzhi's relocation of the people began years ago. The houses were also built along the cliffs to avoid occupying too much fertile land, and the houses were simple and cramped. There are also many caves that appear to have been excavated by man.

In general, the land resources here are scarce, and if you can occupy less land, you will occupy less land.

In a relatively wide cave, Yingyi met Zheng Yunzhi.

The cave is separated by curtains and wooden planks. Bedrooms, halls, although the sparrows are small, they are all complete. Jung Yunzhi is a particular person after all.

An oil lamp, two stone piers, Zheng Yunzhi asked Ying Yi to sit down, and said, "You should probably see the situation here." ”

Ying Yi's jaw head: "The area is too small." ”

Zheng Yunzhi sighed: "Yes." There are more than 10 series of valleys, with a total area of less than 6,000 acres. In addition to the living area, it can be used for farming, less than 5,000 acres, and it is difficult to be self-sufficient. ”

"The soldiers outside the mountains are chaotic, and the mountains are narrow. Ying Yi said: "Where in the world is the best of both worlds." ”

"I only hope that the thieves will be eliminated earlier. Otherwise up to three months. Zheng Yunzhi said worriedly: "In three months, I will be hungry." ”
