Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

To be honest, this island really suits Wang Shiyu's taste. Not only is the island large in area, but the vegetation coverage rate is also very good. Almost all the trees grow on one side, and the other side is covered with some weeds.

It looks like the boundaries are clear, and there is also a freshwater lake on the island. If you want to live there for a few days, you don’t need to bring too much fresh water. You can use local materials directly. There are even a lot of wood here. Even if you want to keep warm, you can survive the winter with wood alone. You only need to take a boat to get here. Standing on one side of the island, you can directly see the pier on the Jizhou city side. It’s really not very far away.

Yu Xiuming looked up at the location she had chosen. This place was not close to the sea, but a fence could be built around it, and a sea of ​​flowers could be planted in the yard. So if you want to sit in the yard and watch the sea in the summer, there should be no problem. You can see all kinds of flowers in front of you, and you can see the sea in the distance. If possible, you can build a two-story building on it, and open up a balcony on the second floor. In this way, you can see the sea directly from the balcony when you are outdoors, and it may even be clearer than when you look in the yard.

“If that’s the case, then we might as well build the house into a two-story building. When you want to see the sea in the summer, you can go directly to the second floor. Not only will it be clearer, but it will also provide shade. Otherwise, the summer sun will be too painful.

We can also raise some livestock nearby, so it will be convenient for us to eat when we come up. You see, the other side can be directly developed into farmland or orchard, where we can plant some fruit trees and food crops, and raise two horses here, so that we can ride horses here in the afternoon. "

Yu Xiuming was very clear about the situation on this island because he had been there in person. When he bought the island, he was attracted by its layout, which was very good and the vacant space was very convenient for horseback riding. Not only could they see Jizhou City from the island, but they could even see the lights on the top of the Jizhou city tower. At night, they could see the bright lights of Jizhou City from afar, giving a feeling of the bustling world, especially on the Chinese Valentine's Day or New Year's Eve, when the night of Jizhou City was really brightly lit.

Although this place is not a secluded place far away from human habitation, it is nice to come here to relax when you have nothing to do.

So he thought of arranging some people to live here directly and let them be self-reliant. They only need to maintain the houses they built and do their own work on hand. This is much more comfortable than serving them in the mansion. It is estimated that even if the island is built, Wang Shiyu and he will not come here too often. It would be good if they can come once or twice a year. Therefore, it is not worth it to spend a lot on it. However, he can still afford to build a few houses and send some people there.

Wang Shiyu also thought about what Yu Xiuming had just said and studied the drawings carefully for a while. Thanks to the fact that Jizhou City is like spring all year round, except for the very hot summer, the other seasons are not very cold. So it would be great to live there for a few days in summer or autumn.

"That's fine, but we don't need to send too many people up there. It's better to let them bring their families with them, so that they won't miss their relatives here all the time when they go to the island. Or if they are adults, they can stay in the city if they are successful. It's better for young children to live with their parents, so that they won't miss their children too much."

Wang Shiyu thought about it for a while and felt that this would be a good solution. If she asked all of them to bring their families to the island, they would probably gradually become disobedient. It would be better to keep some of their relatives in her hands. In this way, not only would they work obediently, but they would also be cautious and would not do anything that would harm the owner.

After listening to what Wang Shiyu said, Yu Xiuming suddenly remembered those shop owners who were hypocritical. In fact, this time when he returned, he planned to deal with all of them directly. No matter how good his temper was, he would not tolerate these people.

Those who cheated him like this would naturally be dealt with when he returned. Now Wang Shiyu provided him with another idea. If it really didn't work, he could just throw them here to open up wasteland. Anyway, the indentures of these shopkeepers were firmly in his hands. Even if he asked these people to come to the island to open up wasteland, they would not dare to say anything.

This really killed two birds with one stone. It actually helped him. He didn't have to think about how to punish these people. After all, these shop owners all had children of their own, and their relationships were not complicated. These children had even begun to get involved in his and Yu's family's business. Some of them had quite good personalities. He was also worried that if the punishment was too heavy, these people would become dissatisfied and cause trouble.

Now, if he could send these hypocritical people directly to the island to open up wasteland, it would be a win-win situation. Not only could it help him win the hearts of the people, but he could also send these hypocritical people to work, and he wouldn't have to consider where to conveniently kill and bury them.

"That's fine, then let me take a look at the house here and see how to design it.

After all, this is an island with strong sea breezes. If you want to build a two-story building, the foundation must be well laid, otherwise it may not survive the typhoon. Typhoons wreak havoc in spring and autumn every year."

Yu Xiuming has already thought about who to send to open up the island, and what kind of materials to use to build the house on the island. If you want the house to be sturdy, the best way is to build it with stone. However, it is not very convenient to transport the stones along the way, and it is also very troublesome to carry them. If it really doesn't work, he will have to send a cargo ship to transport the stones directly. The best materials now are glutinous rice paste and mud, but sometimes they may not be able to withstand the raging typhoons.

After hearing what he said, Wang Shiyu thought thoughtfully about the cement formula in her hand. The formula of cement was quite simple. Sand, limestone and other things could be mixed together to make cement, and it was strong. But how should she tell him?

Let's put this matter aside for the time being. She will think about how to tell Yu Xiuming. Then they can just build all the houses on the island with cement. This way, the load-bearing columns will be stronger after being poured with cement, and they will be safer living in the house. Otherwise, the load-bearing walls built only with stones may not be very safe.

Typhoons are generally not very small and can blow people away. Although the walls built with stone cracks can be covered with mud, the typhoons accompanied by wind and rain can not only corrode the pillars made of mud, but also directly melt the mud and sand in the cracks.

If the wind was stronger, it could have blown the house away. Although she had lived in Jizhou City for almost ten years, she had experienced several strong typhoons that not only blew away the tiles on their roof, but also a lot of the thatch on top. At that time, it was windy outside and drizzling inside. If there had not been one room that was particularly sturdy, the four of them would have survived in that room. If they had been caught in the rain, they would probably have gotten sick.

Even the crabapple tree planted at home was almost blown bald, so he knew how powerful a typhoon was. When building another house, he naturally wanted the most solid one, and safety was the most important thing.

Both of them were thinking about how to build this solid house. The formula of the cement is really important.

"I have a formula over there. It's a very strong formula, but it's never been used. You know I never had the chance to use it. When I get back, I'll show it to you. You can try it."

Yu Xiuming looked at Wang Shiyu with surprise. He knew that some of the things Wang Shiyu had were quite peculiar, and he had never even seen many of them, but they could all be applied in life.

"That's fine. If it works well, we can renovate our house as well, so that we don't have to go out in the wind and rain to repair it when a typhoon comes, which will cause more casualties."

So the two chatted about other things for a while before returning to their respective rooms. When Wang Shiyu lay down and looked at her own space, she was a little stunned. Before, she could only be given about 700 milliliters of spiritual spring water a day, and she was very happy. Now it has turned into a wider river.

You know, ever since she and Yu Xiuming came into contact, the surface of the river where the spiritual spring water flows has become wider and wider. From dripping drop by drop, to a slow stream, it is now even bigger, which made Wang Shiyu a little stunned.
