Heihe City is on the south bank of Longjiang, and Lin Shixian and others are also on the south bank of the reclamation and logging. Although the north bank is also the boundary of Heihe City, there is only a simple ferry there, and only the people in the forest will pass through the ferry to the south bank.

This time, Lin Shixian crossed the Longjiang River to burn the wasteland in the north, which was the first time that Lin Shixian stepped on the land on the north shore. Looking around, compared to the few arable land and houses along the south shore, the north shore was completely wild. The dense jungle was endless, forming a green forest with no end at all. It is hard to imagine how the people in the forest lived in this forest and were not lost.

In Lin Shixian's limited memory, the few new immigrants who fled to the forest, the officials gave up without even looking for them. Later, the naturalized people hunted in the forest and found the corpses of the new immigrants who fled.

It looks miserable! The whole body is full of traces of being bitten by wild animals, so there is no complete place. This also makes many people feel the desire to return to their hometown by escaping.

At that time, according to Dayuxi's instructions, the entire logging team had nearly thirty people scattered along the river surface for a certain distance. Then they collected some easily lit haystacks nearby and lit them with torches.

Lin Shixian was with Da Yuxi. Because he knew how to recognize words, he didn't have to do the work of logging wood. He just needed to use a pen to record how many trees everyone had cut. This time, he also received the favorable treatment from Da Yuxi, and he was able to learn how to burn the wasteland with the other party.

Speaking of which, this is also a technical job.

Because when setting fire, you must not burn your retreat. And you have to look at the wind to avoid burning the fire to the other side of the river. In that case, you will hurt yourself.

But what Lin Shixian didn't understand was why the government had to run to the other side of the river to burn the wasteland. After all, the acre of three-point land around Heihe City was not cleaned, so it would not be too far away.

What made him even more puzzled was that!

This move is obviously contrary to heaven and.

Because there are many people living in the forest, although the other party is just a barbarian, it is still alive. Once this fire starts, the people living in the forest will suffer. Moreover, winter has come, and the beasts in the forest will also burn 70% due to this fire. Those tribes who do not know how to farm and feed on hunting will starve to death.

But these concerns were not what he should have considered, so he only followed the instructions of Dayuxi and went to the market to collect dry firewood. Since it was a little rain a few days ago, the dead grass and branches near the river bank were very wet. So he went to the forest beside to take a look, and the light that was originally not bright suddenly dimmed.

Lin Shixian looked up and saw tall tree canopies rolling in patches, like an umbrella, blocking the sky tightly. The forest was also full of rotten smell, which was the smell of dead branches and grass.

A nest of deer suddenly jumped out from behind a big tree. When he saw the stranger entering the forest, he didn't even know how to escape.

Seeing this, Lin Shixian had no desire to catch him.

Because there are not many other places in Heihe City, but there are many meat foods. Those who swim in the river, run in the ground, and fly in the sky, all of which are available. All the naturalized people are good hunters, and the bows and arrows made in the Ming Dynasty workshop are accurate.

Like this stupid deer, it is the best livestock to catch. In the Heihe area, meat has become the most common food. On the contrary, wheat flour, corn, etc. are more expensive. Ordinary families have to save some food for a meal a day, and they also have to eat ginseng and mushrooms.

Yes, the expensive ginseng in Linjiazhuang is not very expensive in Heihe. It is also the one they often take when many tribes come to Heihe to trade.

In the case of oversupply, ginseng is sold at a bargain price.

Only those old ginseng that has been around for hundreds of years can sell higher.

Seeing the value of this, Lin Shixian also thought about whether he would make some business after getting rid of his new immigrant status. Such cheap ginseng, which was transported to the Song State south of Shandong, may be able to make money for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, the identity of a new immigrant is restricted for two years! During this period, he cannot leave the land of Heihe for a hundred miles. If there are special circumstances, he must obtain permission from the city lord before he can leave.

At this moment, he randomly collected some dead branches and leaves with not that heavy moisture. After leaving the forest, the stupid deer actually followed him out.

The unbright sunshine immediately spread, and Lin Shixian had the illusion that he came from night to day.

Da Yuxi, who was waiting for him outside the forest, had already received some dry firewood, and he piled it under a big tree. Seeing the deer following Lin Shixian, he immediately teased and said, "Why, are you still going to take this deer home to raise?"

"Hey, this beast was following him. I don't know if he was really stupid, but he took the initiative to come to his door if he didn't catch it."

When he spoke, he had piled up the collected dead branches and leaves on the pile of firewood. Seeing that Da Yuxi had enough weight, he took out the matches he had put in his pocket.

This is also a product of the workshop. Before he came to Ming Dynasty, he didn't know that there was this thing. After all, when they made fires in Linjiazhuang, they always used fire notes or flints. There was such a delicate thing there, and just a slight stroke, they could create fire.

However, Dayuxi did not use matches, but then took out two flints from her pocket.

Heihe City is too remote. Even matches that are not expensive in Shangjing will be transported to Heihe. When they are transported to Heihe, they will be worth ten kilograms of wheat. Moreover, match sticks are available in quantity, and each one is less than one. Usually, Da Yuxi just needs to be more face on important occasions and dare not consume them at will.

After all, their family is a criminal minister, and all their property is reduced to the public treasury. When they come to Heihe, they all start from scratch.

This is another unique place in the Ming Dynasty discovered by Lin Shixian.

In summer, the sun sets very late and the night is very short. After winter, the sunrise becomes very slow again, the night is very long and the day is very short.

At first he was amazed, but now he is used to it.

Finally, after another collision, the sparks burst out from the flint fell into the firewood pile and did not go out soon. Instead, they gradually became brighter and became larger. When the entire firewood pile was ignited, the body of the big tree was also burned.

Not only that, the fire also spread to the surrounding grassland. Under the trees piled with thick layers of dead branches and leaves, after drying the moisture, it quickly merged into part of the fire.

"Let's go!" Da Yuxi felt the heat was a little scattered, so she led Lin Shixian away.

By the time they returned to the south bank of Longjiang, a wall of fire had formed along the Longjiang River on the north bank. The completely dark sky was also brightened by the burning of the fire. The thin ice-formed river surface was reflected by the flames, the temperature slowly rose, the ice surface melted, and wisps of white air rose.
