Xu Fei laid them flat on the floor.
"The village head first wanted to leave with a silver coin, saying it was a reward for hiding us, but it was just a cover..."
Xu Fei smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the bag full of seeds.
"What they really want is this."
"The village chief hopes that I will buy half a silver coin of grain seeds from passing caravans in half a month, and then he will exchange it with me for one silver coin."
"Hey, white wolf with empty gloves, you have to help if you are hanging with your money. But that bad old man didn't know that Brother Fei had seeds with him haha."
A'Zhu laughed out loud, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, looked at Xu Fei and said in doubt:
"Hey? By the way, what are you doing with so many seeds?"
"Isn't it okay if Lei Yin likes Earth Star? I thought that if there are no ingredients here, I can grow some by myself, and sell vegetables to earn some gold coins while making her happy.
Xu Fei curled her lips, what a fart.
He carries the most wheat, corn, and potatoes.
The biggest difference from Dixing is the seasonal fruits and spices.

Chapter 328 The Village Chief's Deal
"It's not that the old village head is bad, it's because life forces him to do nothing."
"I don't know the specific reason, but it should be inconvenient for them to go out and trade with the caravan."
"Remember the farmland we passed by, most of it was in a deserted state."
"Since they can't go out and trade, money is of little use to Statsen at the moment. They want grain seeds more."
Hearing Xu Fei's explanation, Ah Zhu felt a little confused.
"Brother Fei, why? Don't farmers grow seeds themselves?"
Touching his nose, he didn't really want to talk about this topic, so Xu Fei tried to use a more relaxed wording and said:
"The country is in a period of war, so it has increased the intensity of grain collection and taxation. It may also be that the officials below have gone too far, and there are not many grain seeds left for the villagers."
"Kill the chicken and take the egg."
Cang gave a short evaluation, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
Squeezing surplus value is a social norm, it can be said to be bad, but there is no right or wrong.
But it is a fool who only looks at immediate interests and destroys long-term benefits.
"Anyway, I've already given him the silver coin, so stabilize the other party first."
"Now let's make a decision, stay and wait for the caravan, or go immediately and hide in the mountains and wait?"
Xu Fei looked at Cang and A'Zhu. This matter concerns everyone's safety and cannot be decided by him alone.
"Brother Fei, I think it's better to stay here. Didn't you say that the villagers won't report on us? And they can't get out."
"So there is no problem in a short period of time. Besides, they have begged us, at least they have to get the seeds before making trouble."
A'Zhu crossed her arms and thought carefully.
In fact, he didn't say the main personal reason.
It's not safe outside, I'm so scared, I really don't want to touch the wild boar spirit again.
"Is it possible to be taken away and exiled into the army? In the feudal society of Earth Star, during wars, villages are often raided and young adults taken away."
Cang is still worried, if it can increase the safety factor, he would rather sleep in the wild.
"probably not."
Xu Fei shook his head and told what he had just heard.
"The Principality of Airilat does not have the concept of a lord, and it belongs to the unified management of the centralized system. For the villages in this area, the Knights will be sent for conscription at the end of each year, so there will be no sudden arrests."
"Huh? Every year?"
"This bastard country still allows people to live? I said why the village is full of old people and children, what the hell." A Zhu angrily scolded the street.
The social environment is different, and we cannot simply look at the problem from the perspective of the earth and star society.
Human rights were low in feudal society. Although he could not accept it, it was more or less understandable.
But if you arrest people every year, it means that you basically don't give people a way to survive, and you basically don't treat people as human beings.
What kind of country is this? How can it be called a principality?
Seeing that his friend was a little excited, Xu Fei threw a bottle of mineral water over, telling him to vent his anger.
I didn't want to mention this...
Cang has experienced a lot in his life, and his mind is calm. Even if he feels something in his heart, he will still act rationally.
Ah Zhu can't do it, his family is rich, and he grew up spoiled by pampering.
Not long after working, he quit his job willfully and entered the live broadcast industry.
Due to the lack of social beatings, the little cynical feelings have not been polished, so it is inevitable that they will be emotional.
Sighing inwardly, Xu Fei turned to the scenery outside the window, it was a lifeless world...
If he has enough power and ability, he believes that 80% of the people in the world are willing to take the initiative to help these precarious poor people without taking risks.
At present, they are unable to protect themselves, and there is really no way to get involved in these matters, and they are also unable to solve the problem fundamentally.
So there are some things, don't mention, don't think, don't look, it is the most pragmatic behavior, otherwise it will only increase the sadness.
As for the material aspect, Xu Fei had already thought about it, if both of them agreed to stay, instead of spending fifteen days before handing over the seeds.
It is more practical to gain the favorability of the local villagers and enhance the relationship.
In this way, they can also get more information about the world.
After all, the expectations of the villagers are not high, they just want to live a life full of food and clothing.
Reporting them outweighs the gains, Xu Fei doesn't know if he will be rewarded, but it would be nice not to be squeezed by the Principality again.
"In that case, I also agree to stay." Cang slowly sat down on the floor, leaning against the wooden wall.
Now that he knew what was going on, he relaxed accordingly.
"Okay, then I'll go to the village head to discuss the next thing. You two will go out and go around to decide our residence. The village head said that all the idle houses can be lived in. Just choose one that suits you and tell him."
Xu Fei put away the coins and the seed bag, stood up and prepared to continue to the old village chief's house.
"Xu Fei, are you going to give the seeds now?" Cang Wenyan was a little surprised, and immediately understood the meaning of his words. .
"Well, don't worry, I will leave it to me later. As long as I can provide continuous help, there will be nothing you are worried about. It can be mutually beneficial." Xu Fei turned his head and smiled.
Cang nodded, Xu Fei has always given him the feeling that he is more careful in doing things and is still worthy of trust.
But he suddenly thought of another thing and reminded:
"But you can't even cover half an acre of land with just one bag of seeds?"
"Actually, I brought half a storage bag of seeds here." Xu Fei scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed.
"..."
Cang Wuyu, are you really here to farm the land and sell it for money?I just thought I was joking...
Then, the three of them acted separately.
Xu Fei once again entered the residence of the old village chief Tam.
As he tossed several sacks of grain seeds onto the wooden table.
The sluggish, cloudy old eyes of the village chief Tam suddenly burst out with a pure and beautiful light like a baby.
Over the past 200 years, he has watched Stasen Village gradually grow from a gathering place of a dozen or so hunters to a large village with a population of 400.
Then, in the 20 years like a region, the men were forcibly taken away, the women were plundered by the rich and powerful, and only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled remained in the village.
Years of tax increases have made it impossible for them to maintain normal farming.
In order to prevent people from escaping, the Principality deliberately cut off road repair work.
Because in this way, the weak old people and children have no choice.
They can only stay in their homeland obediently, and they will become the dishes of wild beasts when they embark on a journey.
Tam has long lost his belief in living, and the children in the village are his only spiritual support.
"Hokar!"
With a roar, Tam stood up on one leg from the wheelchair.
call.
The door was forcefully opened, and a tall, thin old man named Hokar walked into the room on crutches.
"What's the name of the ghost? Old man, have you been attacked by a pig and scorpion by the Jones River!"
Hokar didn't give the village chief any face, and as the deputy village chief, he also had a certain right to speak.
The corner of Xu Fei's mouth twitched. The old village head should have never been beaten. He said before that he almost...
"Hokar! Listen to me! We've got seeds!"
The old village chief shook Hokar's shoulders vigorously, making him, who was already dizzy from hunger, feel nauseous.
Pushing the village head away, Hokar rushed to the round wooden table in surprise.
His eyes were straightened, he picked up a handful of seeds from the bag, and his lips began to tremble slightly.
Tam breathed a sigh of relief, he could understand the other party's feelings.
But now is not the time to get excited.
tear up.
The top was ripped off and tied to the waist.
The old village chief Tam showed two rows of sharp ribs.
