Chapter 5 The so-called backers eat mountains

Ten days passed in a flash, and the desolate and dilapidated Zhuangzi had undergone tremendous changes. If the rich father was resurrected and saw him, he would never curse again. He would definitely be smiling so hard that he couldn't close his legs. No, he could not stop going back from ear to ear.

All the originally low earth walls were pushed down and replaced with a wall that was ten feet tall and three feet thick. There were also a row of sharpened wood inserted on the wall to strengthen defense.

A trench more than one person deep and one meter wide was dug in front of the wall. Although there was no water drain inside, some sharp objects such as thorns and thorns were arranged at the bottom of the pit to serve as moats.

As for water diversion, the current lack of manpower is currently in place, and this project cannot be started for the time being.

After all, the nearest Malan River is several miles away, so it is definitely a big project to dig a canal and divert water.

Behind the wall are a group of Mu Atsuko, about one person tall, and one every five meters away.

Once someone attacks Zhuangzi, the archers can stand on these Mu Atsuko to fight back.

In addition to these wooden piers, there is a watchtower about three meters high every 100 meters inside the wall. Sentinels are stationed on it, so you can have a better view of the situation around the village. You can also act as an arrow tower during combat.

In addition to the defense of the wall, the road in front of the village has been widened, allowing two ox carts to be in parallel. Some small saplings have also been planted on both sides of the road, and they will grow into big trees in a year or two, and then it will be a tree-lined avenue.

There are many traps randomly arranged on both sides of the avenue. Often, there may be a small trap under the ground that can cause broken legs and broken bones to cause pain.

These were naturally arranged by those men under the instruction of Li Xu. They were all-round workers. They could hunt with a bow, they could punch iron with a hammer, they could plow the fields with a hoe, and they could hold a saw. They were carpenters. Setting up several small traps belonged to their business scope.

If someone dares to trek into the farm, these small traps will definitely make him believe in the truth that "you can eat food and you can't walk around the road."

After talking about it outside, let’s talk about it inside the village.

The weeds in the entire farm were cleaned up and the ground was treated. They were flat and clean. Although they could not harden the road surface as hard as modern society, they also looked pleasing to the eye.

Around the center of the town, four internal roads, two horizontal and two vertical lines, are neatly intersected, with loess under the road surface and a layer of gravel on it. In time, after a few rains, the stones and soil are mixed together, and once people step on it, it becomes a qualified stone road.

Two roadsides were built with small stones on both sides. Although the open space on both sides was still empty, Li Xu had already included it in his planning map and would definitely be used in the future.

On a large open space to the west, neat vegetable fields were cultivated in a flat manner, separated by ridges, and different vegetables were planted.

Some seeds have not sprouted yet, while others have already sprouted green seedlings, growing gratifyingly.

Li Xu planned fifty acres of this vegetable field, and now he has only reclaimed thirty acres, and the rest are still being reclaimed.

Rapeseed is all brought in the starting resources provided by the system, including cabbage, cucumber, spinach, scallions, leeks, garlic sprouts, pumpkins, etc., and even tomatoes and potatoes, as well as green chili and red chili peppers.

According to Li Xu's memory, he had never eaten tomatoes, potatoes and green peppers when he was a child, so even if these vegetables are available, they are not promoted on a large scale.

With these vegetables, his favorite hot pot, chopped pepper noodles, and fried pork with green peppers will be fine.

In addition to these vegetables, there are actually 100 kilograms of corn seeds in the starting resources.

In Li Xu's previous life, it seemed that since he was in high school, he did not grow wheat at home, and basically every household grew cash crops such as corn and apples.

Many of my memories of doing farm work when I was a child were related to corn. I ordered seedlings (sowing), sparged seedlings, weeding, and fertilized until the corn was ripe, and then broke the corn after it was ripe. Finally, I had to cut off the corn rod and put it home as firewood, especially in winter, which was very useful for burning the kang.

So he is not unfamiliar with growing corn, and he likes porridge made with corn seeds. It tastes fragrant and mushy, and it feels very touching.

As we all know, corn is highly cold-resistant, has high yields, and is easy to handle. It is very suitable for planting in drought and rainy areas.

Although Li Xu now has the support provided by his hometown city, the most important thing is to rely on himself, so corn is a good solution.

Therefore, he divided another 100 acres of land to plant corn. Of course, one hundred kilograms of seeds are definitely not enough, but after receiving the goods this fall, many seeds will be left behind. Next year, the ground will be ripe, the ground capacity will be more fertile, and the yield will definitely be higher.

The corn is full of treasures. It can be ground into powder noodles and steamed buns, boiled porridge, the remaining bran can be fed to livestock, and the straw can be used as firewood, so Li Xu will definitely promote it on a large scale in the future.

In addition to one hundred acres of corn fields, he also planned one hundred acres of wheat fields. The land had been leveled and cultivated, and was waiting to be sown.

The wheat today does not have good seeds that have been cultivated and optimized from generation to generation like in the previous life, nor does it have fertilizers, pesticides, and there is no magical tool for keeping warm and entropy, which is a mulch film, so the yield is definitely not so satisfactory.

But it is still very suitable for the climate and soil planting in Guanzhong, and the yield is much higher than the millet that the people of Guanzhong are now mainstream. When it comes to using it with corn, it will definitely solve the major problem of food.

The original row of thatched huts on the east side were pushed down, and two rows of taller and more spacious houses were built on the ground. Although they were also adobe walls, they were much thicker and brighter, and the beams and woods were stronger and more stable.

Now that the main structure has been completed, the beams and wood have been laid, a group of men are laying rafters on the mud-stuffed beams and wood, and finally a few layers of straw are laid on it, and it's all done.

Although Li Xu was not satisfied with these houses, they were still thatched huts after all, but for ordinary people of this era, they were already a good house.

Although according to Li Xu's idea, even if it is not a brick-concrete structure, at least gray tiles should be laid on the roof.

However, now there is not enough manpower, so there is too much to do, and there is no time and energy to build a brick and tile kiln to make these.

I can only talk about it later.

Although the conditions are not yet mature, these have been written in Li Xu's plan for Zhuangzi, and will be implemented sooner or later.

After all, if these laborers were not for their amazing efficiency and comprehensive skills, and were in the hands of ordinary laborers, it would be a miracle that they could do half of these jobs.

After all, Li Xu's subordinates only have eighty people.

A row of toilets is built on the north side of the village, which is at the foot of the mountain. The men and women are separated. Although they are all dry toilets, the plan is neat and refreshing.

A septic tank was planned behind the toilet. Li Xu planned to produce biogas in the future. At least it could be regarded as a clean energy source, turning waste into treasure, and making full use of every little resource.

In my heart, although Li Xu is now a glorious system owner, theoretically speaking, he should have ambition to sweep the eight desolates, encompass the universe, and unify the world.

But, sorry, he is still relatively low in his temporarily enlightenment and just wants to live in this messy world for the time being, and live a better and more comfortable life.

If you have the ability, you don’t mind making more people feel more comfortable like him.

I haven't thought about other things yet.

After all, he is just a vulgar, a vulgar man with no big ambitions.

Therefore, promoting corn, potatoes and other grand propositions and missions to solve the food problems of more people in the world, such as it is still far away and unrealistic for him.

Li Xu has always been a person who is content with a small wealth and has no great ambitions. This is the case in his previous life, and the same is true in this life.

He didn't want much. He wanted nothing more than to make himself live a better and more comfortable life in this world, not suffer from hunger and cold, not bullied by evil people, not exploited by the government, eat meat when he wants to eat it, not be troubled by illness, and also protect the people who care about him and care about him, so that they can be as comfortable as themselves, and the dignity and dignity of living people, and living a life as much as possible according to their own ideas is enough.

But he also knew very well that if he wanted to do the above, he was still far from enough.

To live a good life, you need to roll up your sleeves and work hard and work hard. Only when your strength reaches a certain level can you ensure that the above ideas are possible.

Even though the system is good, you have to take the initiative to develop it yourself.

There is no system in this world that can move on your own.

Seeing Zhuangzi getting closer and closer to his home in his mind day by day, Li Xu still felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Trees must be planted on both sides of the road, neatly planted. When these trees grow up, this is a tree-lined avenue in our village. In summer, adults enjoy the cool down, children play below, and women sit on small stools to slap, chatting about gossip while busy. Think about it, do you feel that the atmosphere is very harmonious and beautiful..."

While walking, Li Xu pointed and pointed at his plan for Zhuangzi's future. The little secretary Ailin followed behind, holding a small notebook and quickly recorded it with a rough charcoal pen.

Although she couldn't understand what the gossip that the lord said meant, she showed a look of yearning for the scene described by the lord.

"Oh, when it comes to planting trees, here, here, and there, you will have to build a small garden in the future, and a small square will be built at that location for people to play and exercise. I have written down all of them. Yes, it is best to build a nursery and cultivate more flowers, plants and various seedlings. When you need to plant them in the future, you don't have to look for them everywhere."

"In this location, build a small martial arts training ground. The foundation must be laid well. It does not need to be too big, but it must be solid. The surroundings are covered with guardrails. If anyone wants to learn martial arts in the future, come here. Private fights are definitely not allowed."

"There is also the one there, close to the residential area, and there will be a row of shops in the future, and all kinds of shops must be available. Of course, there are no lower-level industries such as gambling houses and tranches. With these shops, it will be much more convenient here in the future.

"That place will be reserved for the time being. It will be best to build a hospital in the future. And there, there, alas, the village is still a little small..."

"Lord, if you do everything you said, our Zhuangzi will probably be the only one in the world."

The secretary said with a smile while recording quickly.

"That's a must. I want to build our village into the most beautiful village in the world, the garden community. Well? No, it's a garden community. It requires all kinds of facilities and everyone needs to live comfortably. Anyone who sees it must praise the "Perfect Land of the World". Think about it, is it very exciting? Anyway, I feel very excited when I think about it."

Li Xu raised his thick eyebrows and said with a slight brow.

Emotions are contagious, and Li Xu's excitement obviously made the little secretary's wife faintly excited. The yearning on her pretty face became more obvious, and she looked at Li Xu's eyes more respectful.

Compared to the world, women care more about their own small family.

Therefore, women in ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign countries care more about the house and the surrounding living environment.

After all, the world is too big and far away, and only the hard truth is to live a good life for yourself.

The construction boom these days has brought Li Xu a full 750 points of experience. Every day, watching the data on the system panel rise, Li Xu's heart is so beautiful, it is really hard to describe it in words.

There is another 250 points to save up to 1,000 experience points for the upgrade of the town center.

Another upgrade condition is 1,000 taels of silver, and now he has saved up enough 500 taels. In addition to the starting funds given by the system at the beginning, Li Xu sold a lot of trees cut down by the farmers from the back mountain these days.

Of course they are all sold to the system.

The materials that the system now recycles are wood and grain, and no other things are recycled.

The price of wood is still OK. Anyway, there are many behind the mountain, so you just need to cut it down and carry it back.

But at present, Li Xu cannot consider the issue of environmental protection or not. This is the reason why he relies on the mountain to live in the mountains.
