Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 86 086 The Final Negotiation
In the end, Xu Gui was the first to break the silence,
"Are you going into the mountains? We are going to separate."

Yang Erlang nodded.

Xu Gui smiled and continued,

"In this way, you send me to Bazhou. As long as I am alive, I am willing to give you two shops and enough food for fifty of you for a year."

This is still trying to win them over, but at this price...

Surprise flashed across Yang Erlang's eyes,
"For this price, you know my identity, when?"

When talking about cooperation before, the Xu family misunderstood his identity, and the price they offered was false and high. Now they are so down-to-earth, because they already know that he is not from a family background.

Xu Gui laughed at himself,
"After the old housekeeper passed away, I seemed to be able to figure everything out. No one planned for me, and I could only rely on myself."

Then he solemnly said,
"I'm serious, we can talk if the conditions are not suitable, I really hope you can escort me to Bazhou.

I can provide you with the conditions to live in Bazhou. In Bazhou, it is better than you in this remote area where everyone has run away? "

I have to say that Xu Gui has really made progress, and the conditions are really attractive.

If it wasn't for Mu Yu's ability to turn decay into magic and grow food in the dry land, I'm afraid she would really consider this option.

But now, she clearly knows which option is the most suitable for her.

What is even more fortunate is that Yang Erlang had the same idea as her,
"No need, although this condition is very attractive, but we have our own ideas, and we can still distinguish between fish and fishing."

Xu Gui shrugged, seemingly unintentionally said,

"Okay, so what are you going to do?
I don't think you're really going to let us just hit the road alone. "

Yang Erlang nodded,
"Of course not. We plan to find some people who are willing to go to Bazhou County to escort you to Bazhou.

Of course, the number of this number probably depends on what price you are willing to pay them. "

Xu Gui was thoughtful,
"I made them an offer, not you two?"

"You have already given us our rewards, that cartload of food is enough to pay for all the things we have done for you during this period of time.

They are the ones who will escort you next, so naturally you should pay them. "

"I thought they were your slaves."

Yang Erlang was silent for a moment, then said,
"not quite."

Mu Yu saw that the topic was getting off track, so she quickly brought it back and added,

"When paying them, in addition to considering them as slaves, you can also give them free rewards.

Some people want to go to Bazhou or other places to find relatives, and they don't necessarily want to be someone's servants. "

This time Xu Gui didn't ignore Mu Yu like before, and didn't take her seriously, but looked at her formally and thought for a while, and said for a while,

"There is some truth to what you said.

That's good, those who are willing to escort us to Bazhou, in addition to eating and drinking on the way, will give each of them another [-] catties of food when they arrive.

If you are willing to follow me, you will be in charge in the future.

If you want to leave and look for relatives, I can also provide them with another five taels of silver. "

Mu Yu nodded, "I hope you will do what you say, I will ask how many people are willing to follow you now."

"Wait," Xu Gui stopped her again, "I hope Ji Xiucai's family can come with me, and I will treat him as a guest, and find the best doctor in Bazhou for his daughter."

Mu Yu narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, "I understand."

"Thank you."

Mu Yu got up to leave, thinking, Xu Gui has indeed improved a lot, whether it is winning people's hearts, respecting people, or being face-saving, he has gained a lot.

Unfortunately, most of the growth comes after the loss.

The old butler should be very important to him, and he only realized it after losing it.

Mu Yu shook his head, put these things down, and went to each Wu to ask if anyone was willing to go with the Xu family caravan.

When she just said this, everyone shook their heads without even a trace of hesitation.

She smiled, feeling happy that everyone didn't want to leave, then she calmed down again, and continued to tell Xu Gui's conditions.

Food and drink are in charge on the road, and fifty catties of grain will be given afterwards, either as a steward or five taels of silver, which is quite a good condition!
Life is cheap in disaster years, and in some poor places, buyers and sellers only need one or two catties of grain, or even two steamed buns. In places like Huangsha City, the sellers of tooth shops only need tens of catties of grain.

Fifty catties of grain and five taels of silver are enough to buy several people!
Now just let them escort them for a trip, and give so many things, who can't be tempted by this?

At that time, someone hesitated, with emotion written on his face, but soon looked in the direction of Mu Yu and Yang Erlang scruples.

Mu Yu didn't feel sad, people love money and want to live a better life, this is what she and Yang Erlang hoped for.

"You don't have to worry about it too much. This is a decision we made after discussion. We promised to send someone to send the Xu family caravan to Bazhou. No matter what you choose, we will not stop it.

You can discuss it with your relatives and friends first. If anyone wants to go, come find me within half an hour. "

After hearing her words, everyone started discussing in whispers, some wanted to go, some didn't.

"Bazhou is rich and prosperous, there are always more ways to live there than in this wild country..."

"Yeah, just by going this way, you can get so much money and food, and you can have a place to go, isn't it better than staying in this place where the birds don't shit?"

"That's true, it's easier to live begging in Bazhou than farming in mountain villages..."

"However, it's dangerous to go to Bazhou. I haven't heard that they are there for guards. If it's not dangerous, why would they pay so much money and food to find someone?"

"Yeah, yeah, didn't you say that the people in their caravan were killed and robbed by people from some kind of earthen castle two days ago? It's so dangerous, I think it's better here."

"Mu Yatou and the Yang family boy treated us well. I believe what they say, so I will follow them to farm here, and I won't go anywhere else."

……

Mu Yu observed the crowd for a while, and everything was as she expected, about one-third of the people wanted to leave with the Xu family caravan, and the rest wanted to stay.

This ratio is just right, and it is good for everyone.

So she ignored these things, and instead went to find Ji Xiucai who was specifically mentioned by Xu Gui, and truthfully conveyed Xu Gui's words.

Ji Xiucai was silent for a long time, then said,

"We'll stay."

Mu Yu was very surprised, in addition to being surprised, he was deeply puzzled,
"why?
Although I also want you to stay in my heart, we need a scholar to do things, but to be honest, if you follow Xu Gui, your future life will definitely be much better than staying.

And your daughter's illness..."

"Hua'er is already much better. Dr. Zhao said that as long as he takes care of himself, there will be no major problems."

Ji Xiucai said lightly, although he didn't mention Mu Yu's question of why, it was actually an answer.

He won't leave, he will stay.

Although Mu Yu was puzzled, it was not very important, the most important thing was that Ji Xiu would stay.

She sat with Ji Xiucai for a while, and soon someone came over and said that she would leave with the Xu family caravan.
