章 262: Capture

Uncle Gu and the villagers widened their eyes and pointed at the hills excitedly. "Madam, if it really works, we can open all these dozens of hills. We won't have to worry about not having food to eat."

"Yes, as long as you work hard for a year and open up the land, you won't have to pay taxes for the first few years. Everyone will have endless food in the future."

A villager asked, "Where does the water come from?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Dig a reservoir at the top of the hill and cut some thick bamboo. Open the bamboo joints and connect them. It's best to apply tung oil on the bamboo tubes to make them more durable."

Everyone understood after hearing this and gave Li Yu a thumbs up. "Madam, you're too smart. It seems we went hungry guarding a treasure mountain?"

"Remember, you have to dig along the terrain and build a good foundation." Li Yu smiled and told them how to open the terraces.
