"Master, there is a swamp between the forest and the grassland. The swamp is frozen and the way back is flat, so I just tied it back."

Ula pointed to a few towering trees and explained excitedly.

Looking at the condition of the group, they are actually pretty good. They are more energetic than when Lu Da and his men came back some time ago.

Obviously it was because I brought enough food.

Lu Zhou looked at these ridiculously large trees, sawed off the waist of the tree, and only simply repaired them, which could indeed shorten the time in the wild.

Moreover, fortunately, the road is flat and you have to go uphill, otherwise the two cows may not be able to move.

Lu Zhou was very satisfied: "It's just such a big tree, it's not a problem to build a room with one tree, right?"

"No problem, you can build two wooden houses!"

Huang Cheng said with air conditioning, pointing to the big wood behind him, "The trees I chose are very straight, there are no scars or distortions, and the whole tree is full of material.

And this tree is also of high quality for wood.

I heard from the old craftsmen in the village that the colder the place, the thicker the wood it grows. Now, this is indeed true.”

When Lu Zhou heard this, he looked carefully again. Indeed, it was big and straight.

People seem very small when they are by the side. Even if you are an outsider, you can tell that it is a very good wood.

No wonder the wooden houses of the Russians in their previous lives were so warm. It seems that the wood is tight.

And this is not surprising. Siberia had very rich forest resources in its previous life. Moreover, it has never been developed by humans now, so there must be many high-quality wood.

"Master, in the future we can start a route and treat that place as a forest farm, so that the farm can have a steady supply of wood.

Once there is too much wood, it can not only keep warm, but also use wood to build a wall to block the wind. Of course, it can also build a watchtower or something..."

As a professional, Huang Cheng thinks of a lot at once.

"Well, I think so too. I can surround the village to block the wind and defend against wild animals, otherwise these wooden fences would be too cold."

Lu Zhou nodded, asked Huang Cheng and others to repair it, and then began to prepare for the construction of the house.

......

On the next day.

Huang Chengru began to build a house with a few people, while Ula was preparing to take people to cut down trees.

After a few days of studying with Huang Cheng, Ula probably knows how to find the best trees and how to get a house.

Moreover, the discussion last night was that there was still a lot of wood needed to be used for construction in the village, and people would have to keep cutting trees.

So Ula brought ten people this time.

However, when they left this time, the equipment they brought was much better than the first time.

Lu Zhou gave them ten pairs of wolf leather insoles wrapped in cashmere.

There is still one advantage in this kind of collective life now, that is, it is to be able to flexibly concentrate on doing something.

These ten pairs of wolf-skin cashmere wolf-skin insoles were summoned by Lu Zhou and made overnight.

Although the workmanship is very rough and even the wolf skin is not dried, it has a strange smell, but no one dislikes this extreme environment.

It stuffed it into your shoes like a baby, and wrapped in cowhide shoe covers on the outside, and it really looked a bit like that.

It feels much more comfortable at once.

Although this small insole is still very useful, it can isolate the cold air on the ground and avoid the loss of body temperature.

In addition, the blacksmith shop also played a role, setting up three simple wood-fired stoves, and one of them was sent to Lu Zhou's tent.

The remaining two were installed on the ox cart. Anyway, there was no need to install wood on the cart. Just carry a wood stove and set up a crooked tent on it.

When people are cold, they can take turns to keep warm. They can also make meat and water on the wood stove, which is very convenient.

In this way, Ula had five ox carts this time, but she drove twenty cows, preparing to pull more trees, and asked Lu Zhou for five days, carrying two mutton, twenty kilograms of beef, and several weapons, and walked north again.

The group left.

The cows in the farm drove away twenty of them at once, and the cow pen suddenly seemed much empty.

Out of the need for a sense of security, Lu Zhou went to the bullpen today.

[Ding, sign-in successfully, congratulations to the host for obtaining 72 adult cattle!]

I saw that there were seventy-two cows swaying inside the cow pen.

Lu Zhou was much more satisfied. He smirked for a while, and as usual, he covered his marten fur on his face, and then went to inspect the sheep pen.

I saw that there were still three sheep cut in the sheep pen. The two sheep that were originally seized in Lizhuang had been slaughtered. There was a mutton in Luzhou's tent, which could be cut into a few pieces and cooked at any time.

Lu Zhou has been changing his taste these days.

I have to say that the grassland sheep tastes good, just sprinkle some salt, and eating mutton in winter is warmer than beef.

Looking at the horse circle, there are still four horses, without any change.

.........

The next day, Lu Zhou came to the sheep pen to sign in.

[Ding, sign-in successfully, congratulations to the host for obtaining 4 adult sheep!]

The sheep that had just been released were immediately given to someone to cut her hair and make clothes.

On the third day, I signed in in the sheep pen and obtained 8 sheep, and the total number became 15.

On the fourth day, sign in the sheep pen.

[Ding, sign-in successfully, congratulations to the host for obtaining 16 adult sheep!]

After counting, there were only 30 sheep in the sheep pen.

One missing?

After a closer look, there was a nest of sheep in the middle of the noisy place.

It should be that the sheep pen capacity has reached its maximum...

Lu Zhou had no choice but to arrange for someone to kick out all the wool that should be kicked off, and slaughtered some of the sheep that had cut the hair. Lu Zhou didn't expect to raise another wave of hair next year.

Moreover, the meat can be stored in winter and dried and eaten slowly.

"The iron in the blacksmith shop has been reduced recently. I will go to the iron smelting furnace tomorrow to sign in, and I can increase the number of horses the day after tomorrow. I don't know how many people in the farm can ride horses..."

Lu Zhou was secretly measuring in his mind and walked towards the construction site that Huang Cheng had drawn out. The house was built in an orderly manner under Huang Cheng's leadership these days.

But today Lu Zhou had just arrived at the construction site, but Huang Cheng ran over and said, "Master, there are not enough people now."

“Not enough staff?”

"The people who just annexed Lizhuang, weren't they doing well a few days ago?"

Lu Zhou had just asked, but then he remembered that there were more animals in the past few days, and he took care of animals and slaughtered hair and shaved them. It was probably a lot of labor.

Moreover, there were only eighteen blacksmith shops, and Ula took away ten more people. In theory, the eight people who could use were used as miscellaneous items.

The construction of the house these days was Lu Da and Lu Er, who brought the twenty strong men to help... They only had half a day of training these days, and the rest of their work...

"Master, it's true that there is not enough manpower. There are more and more work in the village these days. Now the first wooden house is over. I plan to start the second house at the same time. The manpower is even more urgent. If there are fewer people, it's OK, but the project will be more than twice as slow."

Huang Cheng continued to explain, "Master, although there are fifty-six people in the village now, if you want to build a look in this wilderness, the population is probably a bit small!"

"population......"

Lu Zhou lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and a loud bang in his mind.

Suddenly he woke up.

Yes, this population is really small!
Chapter completed!
