Gou Becomes a Boss in the Fairy World
Chapter 349: Saving People
Autumn harvest is the top priority of the year for any village that relies on planting for a living.
Of course Ota Village is no exception.
There are 376 households in the whole village, with a population of nearly 2,000. More than 90% of them are planted with spiritual veins. The total area of spiritual fields opened up is more than 6,000 mu, with an average yield of about 450 catties per mu.
This kind of yield per mu is much higher than the spiritual fields that Wang Chen cultivated in the Yunyang School back then, because the land here is more fertile, and the aura of heaven and earth is also much richer.
However, Lingmai is ripe once a year, and the annual output has dropped a lot.
According to the rules, 40% of the 450 jin harvest was handed over to Wancheng's Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department as tribute grain, 20% was used to fill the village's public treasury, and the farmers kept 40% for themselves.
As the head of the village, Wang Chen was in charge of the autumn harvest and grain collection, and it took him ten days of hard work to pay for it.
It was his first time as a village official, and he lacked in-depth understanding of the situation at the grassroots level in Xihai Lingyu. If it wasn't for the help of a few elderly people in the village, he would have been in trouble.
Even so, Wang Chen was very busy during this period, and the time for daily practice was shortened a lot.
In the end, before Wang Chen could catch his breath, he discovered a new problem.
Big question!
The autumn grain was harvested and entered the household, and the tribute grain distributed was also handed in in full. When Wang Chen went to the warehouse, he was surprised to find that the grain warehouse built in the ancestral hall was empty.
It can starve mice to death!
All the grain stored in the public treasury comes from farmers, and it is used by the people. In bad harvest years, it can be used to supplement the villagers' rations.
In addition, the stored grain is also used for the village's public expenditure projects, such as building roads, digging canals, reclaiming wasteland and fertilizing fields, etc. These grains are used to subsidize the villagers who participate in labor labor.
Under normal circumstances, the public treasury has a certain amount of old grain accumulated every year.
Last year was a good year, and there was no large-scale forced labor. It stands to reason that there is still a lot of grain in the public treasury.
As a result, Wang Chen didn't even find a grain of spiritual wheat inside!
Wang Chen is very glad that he opened the public treasury together with a few old people in the village, otherwise he would be covered in mouths and couldn't speak clearly, and he would be suspected of embezzling public food!
This fucker is too cheating!
Seeing such a scene, the elders of Datian Village looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say.
One of the old men coughed and asked cautiously: "Village Chief, what do you think should be done?"
Several other people responded one after another: "Yes, yes, what should I do?"
In fact, everyone knew very well that Huang Deqi must have taken away the grain stored in the public treasury.
Because this Mr. Huang has been in charge of managing the public treasury, all the keys and accounts are with him.
The public treasury was built very solidly, and there were restrictions set up. If the food in it was stolen by others, the restrictions could not be kept intact.
The problem is that Huang Deqi has been taken away long ago, and there is no news so far.
If no one can be held accountable, it becomes a muddled debt!
Several elders unanimously dumped the blame on Wang Chen.
Wang Chen didn't take the blame: "I will send a letter to the patrol department to explain the situation. This year's public treasury accounts will be redone, and you will be responsible for managing them in the future."
Wang Chen guessed that most of the food was stolen by Huang Deqi to Gray Wolf.
This guy can do anything in order to break through the situation and continue his life, let alone embezzling public food.
But he didn't care about these shitty things until he was full, and he didn't have enough time for his own practice!
Simply let a few old guys play by themselves.
The elders had no choice but to take over the responsibility. Only Wang Chen had the final say in the current Datian Village.
After throwing the pot away, Wang Chen could finally continue to practice with peace of mind while waiting for news from Luo Zhen.
During the practice and waiting, the weather became colder day by day, and most of the villagers in Datian Village put on thick cotton-padded jackets.
This afternoon, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the village house.
Wang Chen happened to be practicing Vajra Fist in the front yard, so he stepped forward and opened the gate.
I saw a black and thin little girl standing at the door, with thin clothes and a haggard look.
Seeing Wang Chen who opened the door, she was shocked and took a step back in a hurry: "Village, Mr. Village Chief."
"I'm not a monster, what are you afraid of?"
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Is there anything you can do to see me?"
"I, I, I..."
The little girl "I" didn't say anything for a long time, and she seemed very panicked.
She obviously wanted to run away, but for some reason she couldn't.
"Little girl?"
At this moment, Xiao He appeared behind Wang Chen and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
The little girl burst into tears: "Miss Xiaohe, please, please save my grandpa!"
Saying that, she knelt down on the ground.
"Oh!"
Xiao He was startled immediately, and quickly reached out to help.
But Wang Chen made a quicker move and lifted it up with his force: "Tell me what's going on."
The little girl wiped her tears, and under the encouragement of Xiao He's eyes, she sobbed and explained the reason.
It turned out that her family belonged to hunters and had no land to grow, so they usually lived on hunting and gathering.
This little girl named Xiaoya's parents died early, she was brought up by her grandfather, and she has a younger brother behind her.
In order to store food for the winter, Grandpa Xiaoya went hunting in the mountains every day these days, but there was nothing to gain.
As a result, something happened when I entered the mountain again early this morning.
Just now her grandfather struggled back with his seriously injured body and passed out at the door of the house.
Xiaoya was so frightened that she dragged her grandfather to the house with all her strength, and then ran over to Xiaohe for help.
Because in Datian Village, Xiao He has the best relationship with her.
"Take me to see."
Knowing what happened, Wang Chen immediately swung his sleeves around Xiaohe and Xiaoya.
He mobilized his mana and took the two of them into the air.
Xiaoya's home is located in the northwest corner of Datian Village, near the foot of the mountain, a lonely wooden house.
When Wang Chen arrived with them, he heard crying from inside the house.
"grandfather!"
The little girl was so frightened that she rushed into the room as soon as she landed.
Wang Chen followed in.
I saw a white-haired old man lying unconscious on a wooden bed with blood on his face.
There was also a little boy crying loudly beside the bed.
He stepped forward and pressed the old man's carotid artery, and found that the other's heartbeat was still there, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Saving people is like putting out a fire, without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chen immediately took out a healing pill from the storage bag, stuffed it into the old man's mouth, and sent it into his stomach with magic power.
Then he took out Jinchuang Yaosan and sprinkled it on the wounds on the opponent's chest, abdomen and arms.
After some simple treatment, Xiaoya's grandfather quickly regained consciousness.
The healing pill that Wang Chen took out is not ordinary, and the effect is still very good.
It was a life saved.
The little girl wept with joy, knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Chen with a plop.
It was the only way she could express her gratitude.
——
The first one is sent.
