Chapter 472 [Looking for Immortals]
There are a lot of preparations that need to be made, such as stones, bricks, beams, planks, paints, etc. Although there were a lot of storage in the warehouse before, there is still a lot of shortage for Fang Chang's next plan.
Then there are various tools that need to be found and repaired to ensure their next working condition.
He plans to renovate his kitchen first to increase the internal area and expand the usable space. Then, build a corridor from the Hall of the Unknown to the kitchen, so that even when it rains, there will be a dry road leading to the kitchen. Next, this corridor will be extended to the work shed, but Fang Chang plans to put this stage back.
Because he plans to expand the Biyutang, increase the area, make a small lake, and build a hexagonal pavilion in the center of the lake. In this way, there will be two pavilions on Xianqi Cliff.
He was going to carry the earth and rocks dug out to the back to improve the road from Xiaxianqiya to the back mountain. If you have more free time, you will dig another cellar to store some ice in winter.
After building these, you can also plant the various seeds from the downhill belt in your own field.
As for thinking about trying out new technologies, that is something that will come later.
He first trimmed the few pine logs that he had cut down and dragged to the cliff, and then piled them aside, and went down the cliff with an ax and a hammer and a chisel.
Whether it is a flip kitchen or building a corridor and a pavilion in the middle of the lake, many pillars, wooden boards and bamboo are needed. The pillars are naturally used for support, and the bamboo chips and wooden boards can be used to make the roof, doors, windows, and railings. At the same time, a lot of stone is needed to make floors, thresholds, window sills, and column foundations.
Therefore, Fang Chang needs to slowly collect these materials to the same time, and then start to build.

"Is this Yun Zhongshan?"
Standing on the official road, Liu Yuande looked up at the mountains in front of him, and said to Yu Qingling who was holding his arm next to him.
"It really is a blessed place."
Yu Qingling also raised her head, looked at the deep clouds in the distance, and sighed.
"It's expected, or rather, it would be abnormal." Looking at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by around, Liu Yuande nodded, and said softly: "Let's go up."
"good."
After finishing speaking, the two found the loess road, turned around and got off the official road.
This loess road is wide and solid, which is different from the inherent roads between villages and towns. It seems that it has been maintained all year round, and there are two ruts in the middle.
This phenomenon made Liu Yuande a little curious.
Having been in politics for a long time, he has a good understanding of the situation in the world. As far as Liu Yuande knows, the roads between villages and towns that are not maintained by the government are often trampled by pedestrians without knowing when. Although that kind of road is flat, it is often not wide, and there are fewer carriages passing by, and it will not be like this now.
However, Liu Yuande didn't make a sound, only going to walk forward to have a look.
"There is a village in front, and it seems that there are quite a few residents." Yu Qingling pointed to the front and said to Liu Yuande, "We can go in and find out the situation. If the road in Yunzhong Mountain is not easy, we can have lunch in the village Then go into the mountains."
So the two walked towards the village together, but immediately, Yu Qingling noticed the difference here: "The fields around here seem to be planted with medicinal materials."
The road at the foot has already sloped upwards, and the surrounding fields are also terraced fields on the hillside.
But unlike other places, what grows in these fields is not the common millet, wheat and beans in the Central Plains, but medicinal materials of various shapes, flowers of various colors, and leaves of strange shapes. These high-value crops are obviously well-cared for, protected in different ways, and well-watered.
Liu Yuande thought for a while and smiled:
"I seem to have heard that here, among the medicinal materials used by the rebels, quite a few common medicines are supplied here. However, the rebels only bought common medicines. It is said that it is because the time for replanting medicinal materials here is still short, and only those that grow The supply of medicine is not long, but the quantity is really sufficient, and the quality is very good and consistent.”
Hearing something related to marching and fighting, Yu Qingling immediately became energetic, but she immediately realized that she was far away from the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, so she took Liu Yuande's arm again and said:
"Then this place has really played a big role. There are many wounded soldiers all year round. If it weren't for the sufficient medicinal materials in the rear, I don't know how many people would not be able to get up from their beds again, let alone go to the battlefield again."
Liu Yuande stretched out his finger and pointed:
"And you see, many varieties have been expanded here, and those slow-growing medicinal materials have also been planted. It seems that they really have some means."
While speaking, the two had already reached the edge of the village.
This small village is relatively prosperous. On a big rock at the entrance of the village, the words "Linxi Village" are engraved. It seems that the traces are newly chiseled. Yu Qingling said with a smile: "After we go in, we will find someone to inquire about Mr. Xiafang. I don't know how much this small village by the mountain knows about the situation in the mountain."
Liu Yuande nodded: "It should be so."
The two of them walked into the village, and happened to meet an old man on crutches, walking slowly.
Seeing two strangers walking into the village, the old man stopped, leaned on crutches and cast his gaze over, looked at Liu Yuande and Yu Qingling, but did not speak.
Liu Yuande stepped forward and performed a courtesy to the elders, saying:
"This old man has invited you."
The old man saw that the young man was very polite, so he replied, "Are you here to buy medicine? Then you have to go to Dongtou to find someone. Aniu and Xiwazi are presiding over this matter, and many guest officials come every day." Well. The medicinal herbs we grow here are very effective and can save people, and merchants from all over the world like to buy them."
It seems that the old man is still very dedicated to the affairs of the village.
However, Liu Yuande did not come here for this matter. After Yu Qingling also went forward to salute the old man, he respectfully said to the old man:
"Thanks for the old man's advice, but the two of us are just passing by, not here for medicinal materials."
"Then you are going wrong." The old man shook his head slightly, and said, "The official road is to the south of the village. If you are on your way, you have to go there. Go west along the official road, which is Huqiao Town and Huaifeng Mansion. Direction; go east along the official road, which is the direction of Long'an Mansion; if you want to go to the capital of our Ninghe Mansion, you have to go all the way to the south."
Seeing the extravagance the old man said, Liu Yuande felt a little sorry, so he said directly: "Excuse me, old man, do you know about the gods in this mountain? If you want to enter the mountain, how should you go?"
"What are you looking for from the immortal?" the old man asked.
