Chapter 180 Clean up
This part of the valley is relatively flat, but there are many trees on it. So if you want to build a house there, you must first clear the trees above.
Mo Qingshan circled the place Mo Rao needed according to the plan on the blueprint.
Everyone will first build the wall according to the enclosed area. The enclosed area is relatively large, so it will take some time to build the entire wall.
In order to prevent danger, Mo Rao surrounded the outer edge of the valley with a hemp rope and tied a bell to the rope. As long as there were wild beasts, the bells would ring, so that precautions could be taken in the first place.
The deep mountains and old forests are not only home to many wild animals, but also to countless trees.
The trees were all towering into the sky, their thick trunks tall and large. Among them, the trees in the valley were particularly eye-catching. There were fewer rocks in the valley, so the trees were particularly numerous and taller.
These trees were definitely cut down to be used as waste. Some trunks that were too thick were saved for other uses. Any trunks as thick as an adult's thigh were directly cut into three-meter-high stumps.
The trees were then carried one by one to the edge of the col and the fence was built. The trunks were arranged closely together to form a solid barrier.
Once the fence is built, the col will be enclosed in an independent world. This way, we can work in it with peace of mind. These trees can also be used as waste.
Those bluestone brick building materials are piled directly in the valley, and no one needs to be guarded at night, simply because no one would be so reckless as to steal things in the deep mountains and forests at night, not to mention that the mountain roads will be closed at night.
Without a flat mountain road, there was no way to transport the things out, so Mo Rao was very relieved.
Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth, the workers begin a day of hard work.
They armed themselves with saws, axes and other tools, felling the trees that needed to be cleared one by one. As the sounds of sawing and axeing rang out one after another, the big trees fell down, revealing their thick roots.
These felled trees are not discarded or wasted, but are carefully processed and turned into sturdy stumps. Some are directly reserved for other uses.
The workers skillfully used various techniques and equipment to cut and trim the tree trunks and remove unnecessary branches and bark. Soon, piles of neatly arranged tree stumps appeared before our eyes.
Next, everyone handed over the collected wooden stakes. Here, another group of workers had already been waiting. Working together, they unloaded the stakes from everyone's hands and quickly erected them according to the predetermined positions and spacing. Each stake was driven deeply into the soil to ensure its stability.
In this way, day after day, new trees are cleared and processed into stumps, and then transported to the edge of the col for pile erection. Although the task seems monotonous and repetitive, everyone always maintains a high level of enthusiasm and concentration. Because they know that this is to ensure their safety.
In just a few days, the hillside, once covered in weeds and rocks, has undergone a dramatic transformation. Large tracts of land have been cleared, appearing remarkably open and flat. Looking down from a high vantage point, one can see neatly arranged rows of tree stumps, like guardsmen protecting this revitalized land. The sight is truly satisfying.
