Chapter 149 Transporting Rivers
Chapter 149 Transport River
After discussing and discussing, Zhao Liya's heart moved, "I remember when we came here, didn't we see a very big river? We only saw that the big river led to the Wujianfeng Mountains, but we didn't see where it led to.
Why don't we look around here? If we're lucky, the big river happens to be nearby, wouldn't it be much easier?"
Everyone was happy at first, but Yu Xiaofang hesitated: "But, does that mean we still have to build ships?"
Thinking about it again, shipbuilding and transportation are much more convenient than lifting them out manually.
Zhong Jing and others laughed when they heard this.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Just throw the processed wood into the water and follow it with two small bamboo rafts so that the wood doesn't get caught halfway."
Zhao Liya nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, generally speaking, huanghuali wood will not sink when it enters the water and can float out with the water. Only a very small number of them will sink. This is not the case with small-leaf red sandalwood. That thing is like a weight and will sink when it enters the water.
"
Everyone became eager for a moment, wishing that it would be dawn soon and then go find the river.
Even if the river is more than ten miles away from here, it is still much better than relying on manpower to transport it!
Therefore, this big river must be found!
The next morning, everyone split up. Those who should go out of the mountains to Haikou Town should go out immediately, those who should look for rivers should look for rivers, and those who should look for campsites should look for campsites.
Zhao Liya still teamed up with Zhou Hansheng and went out to find the river. The main reason was that Zhou Hansheng refused to allow others to team up with them.
Getting in the way.
It's not as efficient as him and Aya.
The higher you climb, the farther you can see. When two people climbed to a peak, Zhao Liya looked toward the southwest. There seemed to be a faint light shining in the valley in the distance, much like the reflection of sunlight on the water.
"Brother Zhou, how about we go over and take a look?"
"good!"
The two of them remembered the direction and headed forward through the thorns and thorns. After walking for more than an hour, when they turned around a mountain col, their eyes suddenly opened up!
It’s really a big river!
They came from the mountains, so the journey was naturally long. When they went back, they deliberately chose the flatter foothills of the valley to walk. They estimated that it was only about fifteen or sixteen miles before they reached the Huanghualimu area.
Everyone was excited.
This saves a lot of trouble.
Zhong Jing had to accept it and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoya is really our lucky star! I found that since I met sister Xiaoya, my luck has improved, especially my fortune, hahahaha!"
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
Although it is not yet certain whether this big river leads to the big river next to the Guzhu tribe, everyone knows that it is almost the same.
Immediately, they cut down bamboo trees and tied them together to make a simple and small bamboo raft. Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng planned to go there in person. Li Xu and Li Ying volunteered to follow them.
Just in time, I have to go out and bring in some people.
The bamboo raft swayed down the river. After half a day, the terrain gradually became wider, and there were roads in the forests on both sides.
Although it is a very simple road with overgrown weeds on both sides and even covering the road in some places, you can still tell that it is a road.
If there is a road, it means there are people.
In other words, this area is no longer so remote.
Not long after, Liying smiled excitedly and said, "Brother, look, this should be not far from our tribe! Brother Zhou, sister Xiaoya, this river really leads to the vicinity of our tribe! It only takes half a day to get there.
La!"
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng looked at each other and smiled.
"It shows that we have found the right one, which is great!"
They continued to drift and landed at a suitable place. Several people from the Guzhu tribe were working nearby. When they saw them, they rushed over and said, "Chief, Miss! What are you, what are you -"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Everyone knows that the patriarch and the eldest lady took a few brothers and accompanied the guests into the mountains to find something. But how could they come back from the river?
Li Zhu was very excited. He pointed at the river and said with a smile: "This river is amazing. We took a boat out of the mountains and came back in more than half a day! It's amazing!"
"Really!"
"We really didn't know this before!"
"Hey, that's really amazing. Will it be much easier for us to go into the mountains in the future?"
Liying smiled and said: "The most important thing is that I can go far, far away!"
Now the people of the Guzhu tribe were even more happy, and they gathered around them and went back to the tribe.
They all know that the deeper you go into the mountains, the greater the chance of finding good things.
This waterway is very safe, and the water flow in most sections of the river is very gentle. Even if there are occasional slightly faster ones, they are limited. In short, it is controllable.
Now that we have discovered such a shortcut, there is no need to rush over mountains and ridges.
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng decided to take a boat when they went in.
It is obviously too late to build a ship now, so it is better to rent it.
The Guzhu tribe had boats, and there were about ten boats that could carry more than ten people. Zhao Liya and the others rented them all in one go.
In addition to the boat, you also have to buy rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots and pans and other daily necessities to bring into the mountains.
Vegetables are replenished every three or four days. There are wild vegetables in the mountains, which can be eaten together. There are many prey in the mountains, and with Zhou Hansheng, Zhong Jing and their brave and capable subordinates there, there is no need to worry about not having meat to eat, which solves many problems.
You have to take care of enough rice, meat, and salt. It's all physical work, and your body's nutrition cannot keep up, so you don't have the energy to work at all.
After you’ve agreed on renting a boat, it’s time to hire people. Once you’ve decided how many people to hire, you can then go shopping.
Then, manpower and materials went into the mountains together.
Once these are done, Zhao Nan, Zhong Ming and others who rushed to Haikou Town to adjust the ship should be able to reach Wanning Town Port.
Once all the felling tools and manpower are in place, the work can be done.
Li Zhu told the tribe about finding people to work. The daily reward is thirty cents - thirty cents can buy almost five kilograms of rice, almost two kilograms of meat, and needs to sell thirty eggs.
can be exchanged for it.
Moreover, those who go to work are provided with three meals a day, including enough rice.
Most people in the tribe don't have the concept of thirty cents, and they don't quite know how much it is, but five kilograms of rice a day can feed a family, and there is still some left over. Everyone understands this, and everyone is moved by it.
.
All young and middle-aged people who have the strength are rushing to sign up.
No one wants to miss such a good thing!
In the end, a total of 300 people were selected, all young adults aged over 20 and under 40.
After choosing the person, Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng went to Wanning Town to purchase.
There are no donkey carts in the Guzhu tribe, not even a donkey. They raise a lot of sheep and a lot of cattle.
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng had no choice but to plan to hire a car to transport their things back when they arrived in Wanning Town.
