Mo Ruyue invited them to have some dinner together. The old village head and his wife were not such thick-skinned people. They felt that they had already received money from others, so they didn't have the nerve to eat other people's food, so they went back to their room in a daze.

After eating and washing, Mo Ruyue went back to the room to rest, and she slept with Chunhua.

It's cold here, but fortunately they know how to use the kang. When they cooked and boiled hot water just now, the kang was very hot. The inside of the house is still much warmer than the outside, and they can sleep more comfortably at night.

On the second day, Chunhua woke up early and made breakfast.

The old village head's wife was going to the kitchen to make breakfast, but was told that their breakfast was prepared together.

The two old people had the cheek to eat the breakfast Chunhua gave them, and after the meal, the old village chief followed Mo Ruyue and the others up the mountain.

On the way up the mountain, Mo Ruyue asked the old village chief why they were the only old couple in the family. It turned out that the son died in the battle, the daughter-in-law ran away unbearably, and the two daughters were married to other places. Sometimes they would come back to see them. This winter's grandson was also sent to my daughter's house.

Mo Ruyue took the old village chief and two other people from the village to a bamboo forest, and demonstrated with Wei Yi how to dig the ground.

Mo Ruyue asked that the mountains and forests here are ownerless, which means they belong to the Xiliang Kingdom.

The old village chief didn't understand what they were doing digging up the mountain?

The few people who followed him also didn't understand. They just thought that these nobles really knew how to play. Isn't it funny that they ran to the mountains to dig soil in the cold!

If these people hadn't seen Wei Yi and the others coming down from the mountain to hunt prey last night, and there were also big worms, they would have been impatient to watch them digging and playing.

Not long after, Mo Ruyue gave them the answer. They all saw a chubby bamboo shoot from the hole they dug!

"I see that several of the hills on your side are a bit empty, but in fact, you can plant bamboo on the hills, so that you can have bamboo shoots even in spring and winter.

Also, with more bamboo planted, you can also raise bamboo rats, rabbits, and cold-resistant animals on the mountain, so that in winter, even if you can't hunt other prey, you can still have meat to eat, right? "

The old village head and those few people listened to Mo Ruyue's words as if they were speaking from heaven, but their eyes lit up.

The old village head and the others also understood how to dig out the winter bamboo shoots. Mo Ruyue taught them how to find the winter bamboo shoots. They all learned how to dig them without her asking. After a while, they all dug the winter bamboo shoots and were very happy.

The old village head immediately knelt down in front of Mo Ruyue happily.

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. You are a good person and you will be blessed!"

"You don't have to be like this, please get up quickly."

Wei Yi stepped forward to help the old village head up.

"Hurry up, Dajun, hurry back to the village and let everyone in the village dig some. At least you don't have to eat beans today."

After a while, many people came from the village. When they saw them digging winter bamboo shoots, their eyes glowed green, as if what they were digging was not bamboo shoots but gold, and they all rushed forward to dig winter bamboo shoots.

"Village Chief, I just heard you say that beans are eaten all day in your village, do you grow many beans every year?

Since there are beans, can you also eat tofu? "

Mo Ruyue gave up her seat to the villagers, and she chatted with the old village chief again.

"Hey, who's to say it's not? We eat beans or tofu every day. No matter how delicious it is, we can get bored of it, mainly because we don't care about being full."

The old village head stopped working and answered the nobleman's questions carefully.

"Then you haven't thought about exchanging beans for food from the outside world?"

"I thought about it, and sent it.

Not to mention that we are far away from the outside world, and it is still freezing, so it is not worth it, and it may not be sold if it is sent out. "

Mo Ruyue chatted with the old village chief for a long time, and she also understood the reason why this place is poor and has no food.

The most important thing is that they are all military households here, even if they put out the things they sell at the stalls, they are often looked down upon by others. They would rather buy others than theirs. Even if someone buys, they will keep the price very low. As time goes by, it is not a last resort. Few people will sell the produce here, and the most produced here are beans and corn.

Because of these two good species, the requirements for land are not so strict.

Here, when the weather is warm and in the rainy season, they can pick a lot of edible mushrooms, which can be exchanged for some food in winter.

"Can the village chief tell me what things are on this mountain when the weather is warm here?

Tell me about some flowers and plants. "

Asked by Mo Ruyue, the old village head racked his brains to think about what they would have on this mountain in spring.

"It's winter in front of me, so I really can't think of anything for a while, but it's just the flowers and plants on the mountain."

When Mo Ruyue thought about it, it was really embarrassing.

She looked at the rolling mountains, which were all covered with white snow, only revealing many tall trees, which looked very mysterious.

"I see that the charcoal used by every household here is probably made by oneself."

"That's right, we are so poor that we can't afford food, so where do we have spare money to buy charcoal?"

The old village chief felt that it would be better to let him spend money to buy charcoal than to keep it cold.

"I saw that the mountains and plains are full of wood, which is quite dense. Why don't you burn charcoal and sell it to other places.

You should be able to earn some money without any cost. "

"This... I'm afraid the higher-ups won't allow it."

The old village head said hesitantly, if it were someone else, he would definitely not say it, but he thinks Mo Ruyue is a good person.

"Maybe I can help with this, and the sale of carbon can also help you solve it, but if I help you settle this matter, you must guard the mountains here, and you must cut down a tree. One tree, we must never let this mountain be bald."

The old village head looked at Mo Ruyue with wide eyes, and he felt that Mo Ruyue was capable. Maybe her words were not empty words, and he was very excited.

"Madam, if, if you really allow us to use the wood on this mountain, of course we will cut down one tree and plant one after another as Madam said, then you will be our reborn parents and our great benefactor!"

The old village head was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to Mo Ruyue, but Mo Ruyue quickly stopped him.

"Don't be happy so early, and don't spread the word. If the superiors agree to this matter, someone will come to discuss the process with you. It's not just verbal. It's not too late to thank me when it is implemented. Let's say it first. The matter at hand."

"Yes, madam, you are right."

But what to say now, the old village chief didn't know, he just waited for Mo Ruyue to speak.

"As the saying goes, you can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but you can't sit and eat the mountains, you must supply what you plunder on the mountains.

In spring, you must plant a large amount of bamboo, otherwise, I am afraid that in a few years, you will not even have to use bamboo. "

"Ma'am, don't worry, I must remember to plant a lot of bamboo in spring."

Bamboo is easy to grow. Basically, if you dig a tree and move it to another place, a small clump will grow there in the second year, and there will be no troubles such as lack of seeds.

"We must urge the villagers to be careful not to touch the mother bamboo when digging bamboo, and there will be no more bamboo shoots next year.

Planting is also easy, and whoever digs more winter bamboo shoots will grow more in the coming year. "
