Chapter 286 New Plan
"First of all, I'm quite happy that you can say 'we'. At least in your perception, we educated youth from other places are a group."
Ning Yuan nodded and said to the female educated youth with neat short hair.
"What's your name, classmate?"
"My name is Zhang Shengnan!"
After hearing Ning Yuan's words, the female educated youth was obviously stunned for a moment. She didn't realize that she and other female educated youth seemed to have unknowingly stood on the same side with Ning Yuan and others in their hearts.
When she heard Ning Yuan asking her name, she answered subconsciously without even having time to react or think.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang! Then I'll answer the questions you're all worried about!"
"What are work points for? Earn food and performance points, right?"
Ning Yuan asked several female educated youth.
He also figured it out. In this place, he and these female educated youth were naturally in the same camp.
No one wants to really take root in this place for the rest of their lives. They will lie dormant for a while, but they will always have to jump out again to embrace the vast world that belongs to them.
Perhaps the family backgrounds of these female educated youth are not as complicated as those of Ning Yuan and his friends, but they themselves can be a help to Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan definitely has no plans to move from this place in the short term. After all, it is far away from the whirlpool, has plenty of food, and has many conditions for capital accumulation!
Come to think of it, it's quite suitable for Ningyuan to build a base camp.
Under such conditions, these female educated youth played a very important role. They helped the men go hunting, build houses and villages, and might even go mining in the future.
Logistics and other things all need to be taken care of by someone you can trust.
Even for these reasons, Ning Yuan had to win over these female educated youth to his side.
"Here, with so many mountains and dense forests, will we be short of food? I assure you all, there will be plenty to eat and drink!"
"Another option is to earn work points to get a job in the city, or if you perform well, you can apply to return home to visit your family. So, I want to ask you, what's the point of working in the city? Isn't it just to avoid working in the fields? I'm directly declining everyone's offer. You won't have to work in the fields anymore!"
Such words indeed made these female educated youth nod their heads.
Although none of them can be said to be spoiled, they were all assigned from the city and have never done farm work.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. If you follow Ning Yuan in such a tough confrontation, won’t you just end up going to hell?
After thinking about it, Zhang Shengnan still had some concerns.
"You're thinking too simply, aren't you? If we don't farm and grow crops, are we really going to have to rely on hunting in the mountains for food? Can that really be guaranteed forever? Besides, it's impossible for us to just eat meat and not grain forever, right?"
After listening to this, Ning Yuan nodded. There was no other way. This problem was a very practical problem that had to be faced and solved.
Ning Yuan had no way of saying it clearly about food, after all, he couldn't expose his space.
Just find a way to move the food out of the space little by little.
But right now, we still have to convince them first.
"Hunting naturally can't provide a steady supply, but we can raise livestock! Pheasants, rabbits, sheep, and boars—if we catch enough of them, we can raise them and let them reproduce. The forests and vegetation here are dense, so we'll never run out of fodder!"
"As for food, that's easy. Once we have meat, we can take it to the county and exchange it for food!"
Ning Yuan's words were quite powerful and confident, but he himself knew that doing it would definitely not be as easy as he said.
When it comes to raising wild animals and livestock, turning them from wild to domestic, how to change their habits, and how long it will take to tame them are all unknown!
Besides, exchanging meat for food is not that easy.
In this era, this kind of behavior is called speculation and profiteering, which is a crime!
However, isn't this the time to give everyone confidence? Ning Yuan naturally cannot appear to be lacking in confidence.
Sure enough, after hearing Ning Yuan's words, several female educated youth became excited.
Their knowledge was far inferior to Ning Yuan's. Even Zhang Shengnan did not carefully consider how credible Ning Yuan's words were and how much of them could actually be implemented.
But at least, it gives them some comfort for now.
After persuading these female educated youth, Ning Yuan did not treat them politely.
Since we are all one family, we should distribute and store supplies in a unified way.
Ningyuan and his men’s rations were also gathered together.
Ning Yuan simply delegated the management of supplies and rations to Meng Qing and Zhang Shengnan for safekeeping and management.
The bedding that we washed together yesterday has all been dried, so today we can spread out the soft, thick, clean and tidy bedding and have a good sleep.
This is truly one of life’s great pleasures!
However, this also caused Ning Yuan to do the first thing he was anxious to do.
That is to repair the yard and house first.
The wall of this courtyard is also a low wall made of adobe. Not to mention stopping people, even slightly larger wild animals could probably jump in.
There are deep mountains and old forests nearby, and the ecology is extremely complex, so safety must not be ignored.
Moreover, if there are girls and children in their yard, they should plan early.
After Ning Yuan thought about the plan and details, he took advantage of the lunch break when everyone was having lunch together and directly told them the first priority he had thought of!
"Repair the courtyard wall?"
It wasn't just Meng Qing, Zhang Shengnan and other female educated youth who were surprised.
Even Wu Zhongguo, Chen Xiaosi and other close confidants of Ning Yuan did not quite understand.
"Yes, build the wall first!"
After Ning Yuan replied affirmatively, he told everyone some of the reasons he had thought of.
After hearing this answer, which concerned everyone's personal safety, everyone raised their hands in agreement.
Wu Zhongguo and his buddies had originally been excitedly planning to make a few bows and arrows in the afternoon.
After all, no one knew that Ning Yuan stuffed those guns into his own space.
They still thought that the guns were still hidden in the cellar of the house in Sijiu City.
However, their yearning to go hunting in the mountains and their indelible enthusiasm made them eager to start making tools.
Ning Yuan's sudden plan directly caused their hunting plan to fail halfway.
However, men seem to have a natural love for this type of construction work.
After Ning Yuan roughly drew the sketch, everyone began to divide the work and started to work spontaneously.
This is not a big project, after all, it’s just a wall around the courtyard.
Ning Yuan wanted to build it stronger, so he wanted to use wooden stakes and mud as the main structure.
The courtyard wall is high and solid, and can almost block 90% of accidental injuries in this environment!
