The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 21
Su Lin made some plans for the new stronghold.

In order to prepare for the future construction of the shipyard, the villagers were ordered to reclaim this wasteland for growing crops.

Don't look at this deep mountain, as long as you choose the right crops, you can basically get benefits without spending too much energy.

This is the case with fruit trees. After planting, you don’t need to spend energy on management, just simple pruning, which effectively saves labor costs.

It is no problem for a villager to take care of an orchard of twenty or thirty acres.

Sweet potatoes do not need to be taken care of deliberately, only when they are harvested.

Anyway, there is a lot of land here. During the Warring States Period, the population was insufficient, and many places were not opened up.

A lot of fertile land has not had time to be reclaimed. Who in the deep mountains and old forests spends such effort?
Some land and forests can be used.

Su Lin intends to bring all the territory from the camp along the river to Nansha Lake into management.

Cutting down trees, reclaiming land, and planting fruit trees and cash crops can feed tens of thousands of people.

Not to mention that the larger Nansha Lake provides a huge amount of fish food, which is a huge food resource.

Eat food slowly and walk slowly on the road.

Su Lin has this plan, and if she really wants to realize what she wants, it will be impossible within five years.

"Then make the first five-year plan."

The most important thing right now is time.

Villagers cut down nearby trees to clear a clearing.

The resources of the main camp must be transported to be used. It is a bit troublesome. You can only cut wood to build houses here.

"First build a mill and five wooden houses."

Su Lin marked the open space and ordered the villagers to start construction.

"Sister Su."

There was a small boat on the lake in the distance, Fan Siyue's face was dirty, and she looked aggrieved and sad with tears in her eyes.

"Yue'er."

Seeing her like this, Su Lin had a bad feeling in his heart.

Fan Siyue jumped directly to the shore, hugged Su Lin and wept bitterly, as if meeting a relative, she very much hoped to find someone to rely on.

Now that there are no relatives in this world, Su Lin's figure comes to mind.

After burying her parents, Fan Siyue came to look for Su Lin.

"Yue'er, what happened, tell me slowly." Su Lin patted her back and comforted her.

"Father, mother has...already gone." After speaking, she burst into tears again.

"What? How?"

Su Lin couldn't believe it, how could Fan Li, who was talking and laughing two days ago, be dead?
Fan Siyue sobbed and told, in fact, she didn't know who her parents had offended and who was murdered.

He was burned to death, and his parents hugged each other before he died. If he hadn't stayed at Su Lin's house, he might have gone with his parents.

"Damn it, who actually attacked my uncle and aunt?"

Su Lin felt the same way. He thought that Xi Shi and Fan Li could live in peace, but the caring people still didn't let them go.

Who is it?

The remnants of the Wu Kingdom?still……

Miyuan?

Su Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and thought about the day when Mi paid a visit to Fan Li's home. Could it be that he was afraid that Fan Li would help the Yue State and acted in advance?
Thinking of this, Su Lin clenched his fists tightly. Could it be that Mi Yuan in history was this kind of person?
Let’s first examine the tombs of our parents.

Not far from Fan Li and Xi Shi's wooden house, Su Lin asked the villagers to put the deceased's bones away, and helped Fan Siyue put up a wooden sign.

The atmosphere is sad and sad.

Life is always fragile, especially in this Warring States period, life is like a mustard, and it is a great fortune to have a place to settle down.

"Yue'er, uncle and aunt have gone, come to me from now on."

Su Lin didn't know how to comfort him. After suffering such a blow, he might not be able to get out of the shadows for a long time.

Fan Siyu was pale and sobbing and knelt beside the tombstone. After her parents had an accident, Su Lin was the first thing she thought of.

Su Lin gave her a feeling that she could rely on. Now that her parents are safe in the ground, the one thing she wants to do most now is to investigate the murderer of her parents, and kill the enemy with her own hands, in order to sacrifice the spirit of her parents in heaven.

"Shibo?"

Mi Yuan came to visit today, maybe he has something uneasy in his heart and wants to come and see.

When he found out that Fan Li's residence had been burned to ashes, he was shocked. Was the uneasy thing finally happening?
When I found this place, I saw sister Yue'er kneeling on a tombstone, and I knew it had happened.

"Shibo, how could it be?"

Mi Yuan hurried forward and knelt in front of the tomb in disbelief. He and I talked about the world's major events two days ago.

"Uncle Shi was fine two days ago, how could it be...?" Mi Yuan was deeply saddened.

"Uncle and aunt have suffered such a catastrophe, I must find out the murderer and avenge the old couple."

Su Lin's face was expressionless and his eyes turned cold. Mi Yuan was also suspected but there was no evidence.

If the murderer was really him, why did he return to this fake mercy?
For whom?

Thinking about it this way, the suspicion on Mi Yuan is much smaller, but not without suspicion.

"Yes... yes, I don't know what kind of villain would do such an unconscionable thing."

Mi Yuan looked sad and indignant, but his eyes were a little dodged.

"I don't know how sister Yue will live in the future?" Mi Yuan looked at Fan Siyue, perhaps out of sympathy, and said, "Why don't you come to my house."

"No need, I still have a place to live, so go to my house, Yue'er is a daughter, it's not convenient to go to the son's house."

Su Lin declined, and Fan Siyue could not be allowed to live in Mi Yuan's residence until the investigation was clear.

If the deaths of Fan Li and Xi Shi were really related to Mi Yuan, wouldn't Fan Siyue's departure be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.

Mi Yuan didn't insist, she thought for a while and sighed, "Well, it's good for Sister Yue to live with you."

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Fan Siyue really lived in the house, I don't know how to get along with him.

Fan Shibo suffered a tragic accident, and the figure of a person came to mind.

Mi Quan, how dare you!
The fists were clenched, the nails pierced the palms due to too much force.

Mi Yuan knew that Mi Quan was his uncle's minion, responsible for some dirty things that were inconvenient to deal with.

Mi is the surname of the state of Chu, and according to seniority, the monarch is Mi Yuan's uncle, and Mi Yuan's branch is the nobleman of the Chu state.

His father died, and now the patriarch is his uncle.

Fan Li is too important, he has the talent of the world, and only Mr. Guiguzi can compare with him.

The family shares weal and woe with the state of Chu. For the safety of the state of Chu, my uncle will definitely get rid of Fan Li and guarantee that he will not help the state of Yue.

Mi Yuan could also figure out why his uncle would do this, but it was too extreme to kill Fan Li so cruelly.

Burn alive.

Back on the boat.

"When I go back, I will definitely ask Mi Quan why she did this."

Standing at the bow of the boat, Mi Yuan's gaze was like a torch, and she secretly vowed in her heart that no more accidents would happen to Sister Yue, otherwise she would be disturbed in her next life.

If he hadn't come to visit Fan Shibo, these things might not have happened.

Mi Yuan hates it so much.

Seeing Mi Yuan leave, Su Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, life is nothing in front of power and interests.

Fan Li and Xi Shi have gone to the lake to go back to seclusion, and just want to spend the rest of their lives in peace, but these people actually killed them because of the fear and terror in their hearts.

If you want to live safely, you must have the ability to protect yourself.

"I will never let Yue'er get hurt again."

Su Lin knew that those people would probably...

Weeds and roots.
