Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 132 Disaster Reconstruction

Because too many buildings collapsed in Shuiquan Town, in order to rebuild them, these collapsed buildings had to be cleared out.

The people in the town spontaneously cleaned up together.

The Li family also followed.

It took half a month to clean it up.

However, there was only one craftsman who built the house, and he could not build so many houses.

The day before Wang Yifu arrived, Li Zhenhui had just set out for Yuanqu Prefecture.

There was no earthquake in Yuanqu Prefecture, so we can go to Yuanqu Prefecture and ask craftsmen to come back to help build houses.

After eight days of rapid riding, Li Zhenhui finally arrived at Yuanqu Prefecture.

Logically speaking, exiles like Li Zhenhui were not allowed to leave Anyi.

However, before Li Zhenhui set off, Li Pinghui went to find Ning Wen.

After asking Ning Wen for a document, Li Zhenhui was able to enter Yuanqu Prefecture smoothly.

Without even taking a rest, Li Zhenhui asked someone about the craftsman's location. After finding out the craftsman's location, Li Zhenhui went straight to the craftsman's house.

I found the first one and the other party agreed immediately.

Even though Li Zhenhui didn't come to look for them, Master Tian was also preparing to take his apprentices to the disaster-stricken area.

Because these places need to be rebuilt, there is a lot of work to do.

Maybe I won’t have to go home for a year or two.

After inviting the person, Master Tian and Li Zhenhui set off for Shuiquan Town the next day.

After returning to Shuiquan Town, Master Tian began to help the Li family build a house.

The Li family also helped. Because Yun Chu gave them a powerful pill, the Li family did all the work of lifting the wood.

Master Tian was greatly shocked. Could it be that all the people in this family were strongmen?

Thanks to the assistance of the Li family, Master Tian’s house building speed has been greatly improved.

It took a month to build the Li family's house, which was a courtyard house.

Although the wood is not top-notch, it is all good quality wood. All of this wood was cut in Yun Chu's space.

Master Tian built a house for the Li family and immediately went to build the next one.

After the new house was built, the Li family celebrated it together.

The next day, the Li family returned to Shuiquan Village.

They built an empty tomb and erected a tombstone for the villagers of Shuiquan Village.

Today is the 100th day memorial, they have been gone for 100 days.

The Li family bought paper money, paper foil and other things to offer sacrifices to the villagers.

After the worship, Li Pinghui sighed: "Time really passes too fast."

Things and people have really changed.

Everyone was sad for a while, and Li Pinghui took the women back home, except Yun Chu.

Yun Chu prepared to go into the mountains to hunt.

As for the men of the Li family, they had to go find firewood.

Now that they live in the town, they plan to collect more firewood, otherwise they will not have enough and will have to travel far to collect firewood.

Of course, they could buy firewood, but the Li family felt it was unnecessary.

They all have strength, so they can just collect firewood themselves.

They will collect firewood, and Yun Chu will install it when the time comes.

Yun Chu pasted the Swift Wind Talisman and went into the mountains.

[Task 13: Find five or more kinds of wild fruits. Completing the task will earn you 50 points.]

[Task 14: Hunt wild animals weighing more than 100 kilograms. You will receive points for completing the task.]

During the earthquake, the task system released Task 11, which was a task of rescuing people. The task of rescuing people earned 2000 points.

After rescuing people, Task 12 of rebuilding a new home was released, earning 1000 points.

There are now 3205 points remaining in this task system.

This is a pretty fast way to earn points.

Soon, Yun Chu arrived deep in the mountains.

There were also some collapsed places in the deep mountains, but within a hundred days, weeds had grown in these collapsed places.

There are many ripe wild fruits in the deep mountains in August.

There are chestnuts, autumn pears, persimmons, etc.

Yun Chu began to collect these things.

There was only one pear and three persimmons, which were quickly picked by Yun Chu.

But there are a bit too many chestnuts.

It took an hour and a half to collect all the chestnuts.

After that, I collected other wild fruits. After collecting them, Task 13 was completed.

After collecting, Yun Chu went to look for wild animals.

Before the sun set, Yun Chu reunited with his father and the others. After storing the firewood in the space, they returned to the town together.

It is too early to pickle wild animals now, so after discussion, the Li family decided to eat the wild animals fresh, so the wild animals will be left in Yun Chu's space for the time being.

What the Li family is worried about now is how to make money.

They can't always rely on Yun Chu.

Just when the men of the Li family were thinking about how to make money, an imperial decree disrupted all their plans.

Because of the earthquake, the Xia Dynasty lost a lot of talents. The emperor issued an edict to advance the imperial examination by one year. All students were allowed to participate in the provincial examination regardless of their qualifications. The provincial examination would be held in early March of the next year, the metropolitan examination would be held in June, and the palace examination would be held in October.

At the same time, the earthquake-affected areas were exempted from taxes for three years.

The normal process for the imperial examination is to take the test five times.

The first entrance examination to obtain the qualification of a student was called the Tongshi, followed by the Yuanshi for becoming a Xiucai, and after that were the Provincial Examination, the Metropolitan Examination, and the Palace Examination.

But now, the Tongshi and Yuanshi have been cancelled, and we are directly entering the provincial examination stage.

Because the imperial examination was held one year in advance, the Li family began to prepare for it.

As for making money, Yun Chu took care of it.

She went into the nearby mountains every day to hunt and look for medicinal herbs.

Yun Chu would disguise himself and go to the capital city where no earthquake occurred to sell these preys.

Because it was not affected by the disaster, Yun Chu's prey could be sold at a high price.

However, Yun Chu took all the medicinal herbs and other things to Anyi City to sell.

Because a lot of medicinal materials in the disaster-stricken areas were used up in the earthquake.

In two months, Yun Chu earned more than three thousand two hundred taels from selling medicinal herbs.

Among them, two hundred-year-old ginsengs were sold to wealthy businessmen.

As for the prey, it was sold for two thousand taels.

With this money, the men of the Li family no longer have to worry about the expenses of taking the imperial examinations.

Yun Chu was busy making money, and the women in the family were not idle either.

They embroider handkerchiefs and make lace.

Li Yunxi and Li Yunshan also made snacks together to sell. Anyway, the whole family worked hard together.

Time passed quickly, and the men of the Li family took the provincial examination.

The only ones who passed the provincial examination were Li Zhonghuan, Li Zhongpei, Li Zhonglun and Li Zhenhui.

As for Li Zhenyu and others, they might have a chance of passing the examinations for tongsheng and xiucai, but their knowledge was still a little lacking to pass the examination for juren.

The Joint Examination was a national examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites, also known as the Liwei, in which candidates from all over the country took the examination in Beijing.

It should have been held in the second year of the provincial examination, which would be the years of Chen, Shu or Wei.

But because of the earthquake, the exam time was changed.

Because the exam was to be held in the capital, Li Zhonghuan and his four companions bought some followers, and then they set off for the capital.

After the four people left, Yun Chu discussed with his grandfather, then went to the county government office and bought all the land and hills at the original location of Shuiquan Village.

Taxes can be exempted for three years, but of course more grain must be grown.

Because Shuiquan Village disappeared, no one comes to this place now.

So Yun Chu used the excavator to reclaim the land with confidence.

In just one day, ten acres of land were reclaimed.

It took Yun Chu twenty days to cultivate all the 200 acres of land he bought.

Afterwards, she used a seed drill to plant wheat, dry rice, corn and other crops, leaving 30 acres of land unplanted, which she planned to use to grow sweet potatoes.

As for the hilltop that Yun Chu bought, he planted a lot of fruit trees.

Yun Chu only goes home once every two weeks. The rest of the time, she works in the fields.

Seeing that Yun Chu was so devoted to the land, Li Pinghui suggested that she build a farm so that she could live there conveniently.

And it is convenient for them to go to the village.
