Chapter 294 Arriving Home
Zhaocai said a few polite words, and as soon as the door was closed, a group of people were blocked outside the gate of Shen's house. These people were simple and honest, but if they were ordered to leave voluntarily, it would be difficult! !
Zhaocai not only needs Baizhi, but also follows her to open new stores in other places. After that, he returns to Yunshan Village. He likes this place very much and regards it as his home. The two elders of the Shen family are also good to him and treat him like a family member.
Shen Laifu and Shen Laibao both have their own things to do, and their daughters-in-law and grandchildren have all become successful and have started businesses in the city. They are all capable, so there are only two old people left in the village. Zhaocai can stay and help take care of the two old people. They get along very well!
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the person next door came over after hearing the voice, "Lian Xin!! Lian Xin is back!! Hahahaha!!!"
This hearty laugh was definitely Xu Guihua's. Whenever Shen Lianxin came back, as long as Xu Guihua was at home, she would be there first.
“Osmanthus!!” Shen Lianxin was also happy to see her. This was one of her few friends in Yunshan Village!! She was also her first friend since she came to this world!!
The two of them played around happily, and Xu Guihua was very considerate.
"You talk to the head of the village, I'll go help Auntie cook!! Today I'm going to show you my new cooking skills, the new dishes I learned secretly in the restaurants in the city!! They are delicious!! Just wait and see!!"
As Xu Guihua said that, she went to the kitchen with Old Lady Shen to prepare food.
Shen Lianxin smiled and nodded, "Then it's up to you!!"
Finally, everything quieted down. The village head exchanged a few simple pleasantries and got down to business. "Lianxin! All the grain from the surrounding villages has been grown. I have stored it in the big warehouse. We agreed at the beginning that we would just wait for you to come back and collect the grain! Hehehehe!"
Shen Lianxin nodded happily, "Great, how much food do you have?"
The village head narrowed his eyes and pretended to be mysterious, "Guess?"
"10?" Shen Lianxin cooperated! !
“Hahahaha!!! That’s more than that!! One million!! One million jin!! The big potatoes are all over the ground!! The granary is piled up like a mountain!! We in Yunshan Village have been farming for generations, but we have never seen so much food!! Hahahaha!!!”
Shen Lianxin listened to the headman with a smile. It was obvious that the headman was really happy.
"There are also corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, and rice. The seeds you left behind are truly amazing. They all have high yields, and the warehouses are full of them!!! The first batch of trial planting has been harvested. Lai Fu told us to plant them like this before he left!! By autumn, I'm afraid the grain will be piled up like a mountain!!"
"Really? That's great!!" Shen Lianxin was also happy, as if all these crops were grown by her.
After thinking for a while, Shen Lianxin asked the question in her mind, "Village head, when I entered the village, I found many refugees at the entrance of the village, but they were quite orderly. And there are new faces guarding the village gate?"
The head of the village nodded, "Yes!! A tall tree attracts the wind!! Ever since our Yunshan Village has grown high-yield crops, it has become famous far and wide!! There is chaos and war outside, and there have been consecutive years of disasters. Too many people have no food to eat. So when they heard that Yunshan Village has food, they all ran here."
The village head sighed, his eyes full of helplessness!!
"They are all miserable people. Even though we have food, I can't bear to see them starve to death. So I mobilized nearby villages that grow high-yield crops and went to the village entrance every day to give them some food!! We won't let them starve to death!! This way, more and more refugees gathered here."
Shen Lianxin was a little worried. With so many refugees, something bad was bound to happen. What if they were not content with the little food they were given every day and went into the village to rob?
Shen Lianxin frowned unconsciously. Seeing Shen Lianxin's worry, the village head said, "Don't worry! I listened to you and hired a teacher for the village, as well as embroidery and martial arts masters. Now every man in the village knows how to fight. Those hungry refugees are no match for them!"
That's not the case. When people are desperate, they will show potential that they don't have in normal times. It will be difficult to control so many refugees if they fight to the death.
"There were two waves of rioters at the beginning. I led the men in the village to drive them away. They were intimidated. The word that everyone in Yunshan Village knows Kung Fu spread. They dare not easily do it. Moreover, Yuncheng is stable and the government is strict. They dare not cause trouble in the territory of Yuncheng, otherwise they will be driven out. Outside, there are few cities other than Yuncheng that accept refugees. Being driven out is equivalent to a dead end. Although you can't eat enough here, you won't starve to death."
Shen Lianxin understood that after weighing many factors, a balance was reached. The village head was kind-hearted and could not bear to see so many people die in Yunshan Village. He gave them some potatoes every day. The refugees were grateful and could not eat enough but would not starve to death. If they were not starving to death, they would not dare to die easily. After all, everyone wanted to survive, so they just stayed at the entrance of the village.
"I picked some good-natured men from the refugees. They all came from different places. They were good at fighting. I asked them to form a patrol team to protect the village. I gave them 50 kilograms of potatoes every month as a reward!! 50 kilograms is enough for them to feed their families. Even if they can't eat enough, at least they won't starve to death. The villagers can also farm with peace of mind!! "
When Shen Lianxin heard this, she realized that the old ones are the most experienced. In this way, not only can these refugees be used as resources, but they can also be divided. The strong and powerful ones can work here and have food to eat. Naturally, they will not easily join them in attacking Yunshan Village.
Shen Lianxin gave the head of the village a thumbs up, worthy of being a head of the village for decades. He was not well educated, but his brain was really stupid!
The village head scratched his head in embarrassment, then spoke tentatively, "Lianxin, we agreed that half of the grain would belong to you, and I have stored all that belongs to you in the warehouse. The villagers have a lot of surplus grain, so it's inevitable that they would have other ideas. I have been holding back and not letting them touch the grain. I am just waiting for your news."
Shen Lianxin knew that the head of the village was keeping his promise to her. She had to give a word whether she wanted the grain or not. Who wouldn't want to sell the surplus grain to get money to improve the family's life? If the head of the village hadn't been able to control it, it would have been sold long ago.
Now food in this dynasty has a different meaning, it is equivalent to a strategic resource. Although the headman is an old man in the village, he is also knowledgeable. Shen Lianxin said that these foods are reserved for the Zhenbei Army. There are so many people in the Zhenbei Army, half of the food may not be enough, but the villagers must be given an explanation.
"Village head, according to the grain price of Yuncheng, all the surplus grain will be stored in the big warehouse, and the Zhenbei Army will take it all!! Here is 20 taels of silver notes, you take it first, come back and tell me if it's not enough."
"Hey!" The village head's eyes lit up with joy. He was just waiting for Shen Lianxin to say this! He took the banknote and carefully put it in his arms. He had never seen so much silver before.
"Lianxin, don't worry, I've got someone to witness every transaction and I've recorded it for you. I won't miss even a single ounce of silver!"
