When he heard that Xu Huai was going to build the iron furnace to Jinsha Gully, Liu Qiong'er asked in confusion:

"Why?"

Now we are working hard to build the Xinzhai in Dongpo, Shituling, and the staff and supplies are very tight. The Dongzhai in Dongpo is close to the Lutai Village. If you only need to walk two or three miles of rugged mountain roads, you can deliver the supplies from Lutai Village to Xinzhai. There is no decent trail in Jinshagou.

Before, Xu Wujiang and others were forced to hide in Jinsha Grottoes, carrying one or two hundred kilograms of grain every other day. There was no big problem, but Xu Huai now said that he would build an iron furnace to Jinsha Grottoes. In addition to the materials needed for the early construction, the house where craftsmen lived would also have to transport the raw and cooked iron materials regularly and build a cellar nearby to burn charcoal. That would not be possible to solve the supply of two or three hundred kilograms of grain.

If you want to find a place near Jinshagou to build a defensive village, it will be even more costly.

"I want to say that the cunning rabbit should have three holes. Do you believe it?" Xu Huai asked with a smile.

"Don't believe it." Liu Qiong'er said.

"I want to say that you don't have another incident in Jinsha Grotto. You, the three village masters, are empty. Do you believe it?" Xu Huai asked.

"It seems like I am willing to be the leader of this three village?" Liu Qiong'er glanced at Xu Huai and asked, "You are worried that the reason why Xu Wufu is so generous is to see that he can control Xu Wujiang in the future, and you and Xu Wufu and the others will inevitably have differences..."

Xu Huai nodded and said, "Well, there is this concern, but the main thing is that we can decide what we do in Jinshagou, right? If we are at Shitu Ridge or Xiema Mountain, if we have differences with others, there will always be many inconveniences."

"There is no reason to convince them," Liu Qiong'er said.

"Women can be more willful, let alone you are a beautiful woman who regards herself as the 'Chushan Yasha Fox'." Xu Huai said with a smile.

"I can find a remark to insist on going to Jinshagou to gain a foothold, but what about money and grain?" Liu Qiong'er said, "I used to take out more than 500 guan to build a new village in Shituoling. Now it is impossible to get it back. There is only one hundred guan left in my hand. Xu Wufu and the others just need to hold the bag tightly and don't give money and grain. If I am willful, what can I do?"

"There is gold sand at the bottom of Jinshagou Stream," said Xu Huai.

"Ha," Liu Qiong'er couldn't help but sarcastically and said, "Will a strong labor station make gold in the stream and earn two kilograms of grain a day? The soft stream at the bottom of Jinshagou River can make gold sand. How many of the clans in the villages and villages have not known for hundreds of years, but in the past few years, who would go there to find a way out?"

"..." Xu Huai smiled without saying a word.

"What method do you have to use for each person?" Liu Qiong'er couldn't help asking curiously.

"Didn't Uncle Seventeen and others have incorporated fifty or sixty remnants? Since these people are regarded as abandoned by Pan Chenghu as their abandoned sons, they should be mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. If they are all staying in Xiema Mountain, it is actually useless. If you choose more than ten or twenty of the most unusable ones, you can recruit them to Jinshagou as the foundation for establishing a foundation. These people are enough to have them in the early stage!" Xu Huai said, "As for the method of obtaining gold, I will naturally teach you, so that you can make the name of Yasha Fox even louder!"

Xu Huai and Liu Qiong'er walked back to the back village where only a dozen simple shacks were built. Xu Wuji and Zhou Jing were responsible for commanding the soldiers and brave soldiers. They needed to patrol the remaining thieves who fled the mountains and forests and invaded Yuhuangling. They had already left first.

Xu Bosong and Xu Zhongyu were still here with Xu Wufu, discussing matters with Xu Wujiang, Su Laochang and Xu Guanshan.

Liu Qiong'er just walked away and came back with Xu Huai at this time. Xu Wufu and the others didn't care much about it, nor did they want to make any decisions.

From this, Liu Qiong'er could also see that they actually didn't care about themselves, the so-called three village leaders.

Liu Qiong'er felt a little resentful, and even firmly listened to Xu Huai's idea. She made another decision in Jinsha Grotto. She sat aside with Xu Huai and listened to their discussion.

In addition to discussing the construction of the new village, the reclamation of Shitu Ridge, and the remote mountain roads, Yuhuang Ridge has few lands and many people in recent years, hundreds of young and mad people have been forced to go out to make a living. Before that, Xu Wufu just collected the tribesmen related to the clan's business in Biyang and Huaiyuan.

There were more tribe members scattered outside to make a living, but Xu Wufu had no reason and no power to order them all to return to Yuhuangling.

However, when the situation is critical, these tribesmen are one of the indispensable backbone forces of the Xu family.

Xu Wufu had a headache when he recalled these tribe members back to Yuhuangling.

After hearing that they discussed several reasons, Liu Qiong'er laughed and said, "It depends on you who are worried about this. Do you want me a female person to give you an idea?"

"Miss Liu has any ideas, please give me advice." Xu Wufu was tolerant and could bow his head to Xu Wujiang at this time, so he naturally did not fear asking Liu Qiong'er for advice.

"Xu took out money and grain to make the scale of reclamation of Shitu Ridge bigger. Isn't there an excuse to call the Qingshang, who is seeking a livelihood outside to return to Lutai Village?" Liu Qiong'er said, "The reclaiming of Xinzhang, Dongpo of Shitu Ridge and nearby mountain fields is only arranged at a scale of more than 100 small families, and it does not require much manpower and material resources. But if a new village is also built in Jinshagou at the same time, and a large water storage pond is built between Yuhuang Ridge and Shitu Ridge to irrigate three to four thousand acres of mountain fields in the mountain valley, does Xu have enough reason to summon all the young and strong people who make a living outside, and can it be justified and buy a large amount of grain, iron and other materials from outside to reserve?"

"The valleys between Yuhuang Ridge and Shitu Ridge have steep terrain and many stone lands. In summer, mountain torrents are pouring down. How can we build water ponds and cultivate fields? Is Miss Liu a little taken for granted?" Although everyone finally accepted Liu Qiong'er's words, Liu Qiong'er directly encouraged Xu Huai to assassinate Guo Caoling without saying anything in advance. Su Laochang still felt a knot in his heart, and his tone of speaking was still stiff.

Xu Wufu, Xu Bosong and Xu Zhongyu shook their heads at each other, just to show that Liu Qiong'er claimed to be able to make decisions and had some talk on paper, but she was involved in the art of practicing the world.

Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang and the others heard Xu Huai talk about the rolling dam. When they saw Liu Qiong'er mentioning it, they just looked at each other without pointing out the Aomi.

"……snort!"

Liu Qiong'er snorted coldly, took the paper and ink on the desk and drew out the terrain of the mountain valley between Yuhuangling and Shituling. He added rolling dams to the easier terrain.

Liu Qiong'er is good at both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has a simple terrain painting and is very accurate in just a few strokes.

Liu Qiong'er threw her pen and said proudly: "You can build a rolling dam according to my method..."

"Can this rolling dam be built like this?" Su Laochang asked hesitantly.

"How can't it be - each rolling dam is only three or four feet high, and with the financial resources of Xu, it is easy to build. However, the rainwater stored in the stream exceeds three or four feet high, and it leaks to the lower pond, rolling one level at a time, so it is called "rolling water". In this way, the water storage scale of each pond will be controlled, and there is no need to worry that the low rolling dam will be crushed. However, the amount of water stored in more than ten or twenty rolling dams from top to bottom is considerable. More importantly, there are heavy rains in summer, but after the rolling dams intercept the flow layer by layer, slowing down the water level, it is difficult to form mountain torrents that harm the fields and houses in the valley..." Liu Qiong'er said.

The Xu family has reclaimed Yuhuangling and surrounding mountains for several generations, especially the reclaiming of mountainous areas, and has accumulated a lot of experience in the construction of ponds. This is also called Xu Wufu, Xu Bosong, Xu Zhongyu and Su Laochang. It is not difficult for them to understand the wonderfulness of the method Liu Qionger said.

Seeing that Xu Wufu and others were indeed interested, Liu Qiong'er said proudly:

"If this matter fails, all the wasted money and grain are on my head. In addition to the excuse in the early stage to summon Qingzhuang back to Yuhuangling, these rolling dams will be built, one can have three or four thousand acres of fertile land in the Xu family, and the other can form a closer whole between the Lutai villages and the Shituo Ridge, which will not be expected to be spy on foreign enemies. This strategy is for free to be given to Xu family, so as not to underestimate the females again!"

In addition to the hierarchical storage of rainwater for irrigation and living needs, the shallow dams built in the mountains are built, and there is no stream flowing down the upstream when the weather is sunny and there is no rain. It is itself a road connecting Yuhuangling and Shituling.

Even if Xu Guanshan, Xu Bosong, Xu Zhongyu and others are not very careful about the city defense, they can still see the benefits.

Otherwise, before the powerful enemy troops approach Yuhuangling, as long as they keep an eye on the mouth of Qingliuxi, they will easily cut off the connection between Xinzhai in Dongpo, Shituoling and Lutaizhai.

"Xu is indeed negligent, so please don't blame Miss Liu." Xu Wu said in a wealthy manner.

"Don't say these cheap words from the head of the Xu family. It's only sincerity that I can help me build a new village in Jinshagou." Liu Qiong'er grasped Xu Wu's wealth.

"Is Jinsha Grotto farther, right?" Xu Wufu said.

"Jinshagou is one of the gateways of Xiema Mountain. No matter how difficult it is, a village should be built to prevent strong enemies from infiltrating from here in the future," said Liu Qiong'er. "Another, my three village masters will go to control a village alone, so that you will not be looked down upon by you anymore. I will also keep the words here today. If you don't allow it, don't expect me to come up with any more ideas for you in the future!"

"Miss Liu, what you said, everyone should be together now. Miss Liu, you want to manage a village alone in Jinshagou and also prevent leaks and fill in the gaps for me, Xu's family. How could we not allow it?" Xu Wufu said slickly, "But if you want to build so many rolling dams between Yuhuangling and Shituo Ridge, the money and food consumed are already in the past few days. Moreover, there are too many things that need to be taken care of one by one. In a short period of time, I have no spare time to take care of the Jinshagou. Miss Liu, don't worry, as long as Xu is a little rich, Miss Liu, you want people or money and food, that's a matter of words."

"I don't need Xu to pay for food. Xu Wujiang yesterday incorporated some disabled bandits and gave me the dozens of old, weak and sick whom I like most. Or the young and strong Xu family returned home. You promised me to hire them to work," Liu Qiong'er stared at Xu Wufu with a pretty face, and asked in a bad tone, "After I said this, the head of the Xu family will not allow it, right?"

"Look at what Miss Liu said, how could I not allow it?" Liu Qiong'er forced her to have no way out, and she really couldn't see through her background. Xu Wufu couldn't turn her back, so she could only let her do it with a tough bullet...
