The era of all the princes

Chapter 25

"Cat, how are you doing?"

In the village at the foot of the mountain, the regrouped Zhang Yuanshan and his gang waited for the last person to survey the terrain, and it was the thinnest and boldest cat.

Facing Zhang Yuanshan's question, Maozi, who came around from behind, shook his head slightly: "The road around the side mountain is too steep, even I have to have someone to get through it, and it's not realistic to save people from there..."

Zhang Yuanshan's expression darkened immediately when he heard this, Maozi was a scout soldier of the Changlin Army, brothers all knew what he was capable of, even he said it was too steep, it was almost like a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire to ordinary people.

"This is a little troublesome..." Zhang Yuanshan stared gloomyly at the place where the students gathered in the distance, and said: "The other directions of those savages are strictly guarded, and there is a chance in the direction of Maozi. It is impossible to succeed in several directions!"

"Then what should we do?" In the team, one of the dark-faced men couldn't help but said: "It's been two days, we're almost out of food..."

Zhang Yuanshan frowned and said, "How much do you have to eat?"

"Counting the dry food that can be soaked in water, it's only two days' ration..." The black-faced man said in a stern voice: "That's still in the case of hanging for life..."

Zhang Yuanshan was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "This is not good, we can't keep wasting like this, if we are so hungry that we don't have the strength to do anything, it will be useless!"

"The head is right..." Maozi also said coldly: "The waste of the Huang family, all the food has been paid for by others, and those savages can eat for a month on the mountainside, how can we waste it? past them?"

The others nodded upon hearing the words. These savages not only have food to eat, they can also light bonfires to keep warm at night. They are afraid of being noticed for a few nights, so how dare they light a fire?It was so cold that it was shaking, and after another two days like this, Tieda's body would collapse!

"That's it..." Zhang Yuanshan said: "Maozi took Tieshan and Genzi to continue to monitor the wild men on the mountain. If there is any situation, the first thing to do is to send a signal. My other brothers and I will go to the beach to get some fish, shrimp, turtle eggs, etc... ..”

"But boss, we can't keep doing this, can we?" The black-faced man named Tieshan said in a muffled voice, "How long will this take?"

"It has to be exhausted until one of them can't sit still!" Zhang Yuanshan looked at the mountain and said quietly: "It depends on whether these savages can't sit still and disperse first, or the people in the cottage can't help but come out to save people!"

"Will they come out to save people?" Tieshan frowned.

"That depends on how strong the people in the village are!" Zhang Yuanshan picked up the silver ingots scattered on the ground and said quietly: "It is certain that there are silver mines in this mountain. If you are strong enough, you will definitely not sit back and watch those villagers be slaughtered." Yes, after all, it is a rare mining labor force, but judging from the fact that there has been no movement for two days, the strength in the village should be limited, and it is more than enough to guard the intersection to protect itself, and it seems uncertain to go out to fight in the field."

"Then I'm not sure if I won't come out all the time?"

"No..." Zhang Yuanshan shook his head: "Although the location of the cottage is good, it is a dead end. No matter how much food is stored, there will be a time when it will be eaten. Even if the rations are exhausted, the savages at the foot of the mountain can go hunting and survive, but the people in the cottage can't." No, I don’t want to starve to death, the people inside will have to come out sooner or later, the worst case is that the people above plan to wait for these creatures to disperse before attacking!”

"Scatter?" Tieshan said naively, "Why scatter?"

"You fool!" Maozi gave him a blank look: "The wild rations are gone, why don't they disperse and go hunting?"

"How long will it take?"

"There's a lot of food in the Huang's boat, plus these living people... It's enough to last for a few months..."

"How many months are we going to spend in this ghostly place?" Tieshan's eyes widened suddenly!

"A few months will be fine..." Zhang Yuanshan said quietly: "In the worst case, the savages are scattered, our houses may be taken by those savages, and we have to hide in the mountains for the winter!"

hiss……

A group of people suddenly gasped. They have experienced all kinds of harsh environments, but they never thought about spending the winter in the wild in the mountains like savages. This is still May, and it is cold at night with a wooden house blocking it Have to play tricks and spend the winter in the mountains?They're not bears...

"Boss...I can't handle this..." Tieshan suddenly looked bitter.

"Who wants to resist?" Zhang Yuanshan glared at the other party. If he could choose, who the hell would want to live such a life like a savage?

Now that I think about the days when I was a pirate, I was very chic, with wine and meat, why can't I think about earning a living?
"Then old man Chen can't be saved?" Gen Zi asked who had been silent beside him.

"Help!" Zhang Yuanshan said ruthlessly, "It's a way after all. Let's keep an eye on it. If the old man Chen's family is lucky enough not to be slaughtered for meat when the savages are scattered, we'll find a chance to make a move!"

Everyone had a bitter look on their faces when they heard the words. Hearing the tone of the boss, they obviously felt that there was a high probability that they would stay until the savages dispersed. Doesn't this mean that they would most likely spend the winter in the mountains!
-
Compared with the pessimism of Zhang Yuanshan and his gang at the bottom of the mountain, the people on the mountain are in a much better mood now. After several times when the savages failed to fight, the mood of the people in the cottage began to become more and more stable.

In the next few days, Jiang Sheng not only trained Hou Xiaoshan and his group, but also distributed supplies in a centralized manner. First, houses were allocated to each family, and then large animal skins were distributed to each house as bedding, and warm mountain bear skins were distributed. It can keep a family of four warm and warm.

It has to be said that this savage tribe's habit of hunting has brought him a lot of benefits. The tribe has accumulated more animal skins than expected, and each person will have a surplus of a large animal skin. If the sea trade can be opened up by then, These leathers can be exchanged for many good things in the Central Plains.

With houses to keep out the wind, warm animal skins to keep out the cold, and yams and broth to satisfy their hunger, the frightened villagers gradually calmed down under such a secure life, and their mental state obviously improved day by day.

By the third day, there were already children playing in the open area, and some villagers began to flee to each other...

Jiang Sheng felt the most obvious about the recovery of the residents' status, because he could see the attributes of his subordinates. From the beginning, they were only about 5.00% in the [-]'s status. Gradually, when they had food and a stable environment, their status became better and better. It was getting better and better, and many young people started to stare at the widows for nothing.

However, this stability is only temporary. Jiang Sheng knows very well that if the population resources cannot be converted into productivity as soon as possible, then these population resources will gradually become more and more cumbersome.

But he is not worried. Most of the cottages are now young laborers, children and young women. They are all bonus populations on the rise, and the structure is very rich. Among the population of 500, young men account for the majority, and one-third of them Two of them are farmers' children who have been in the fields and know how to farm, and most of the remaining third are fishermen with fishing experience.

In this sea rich in resources, if we make good use of people's livelihood technology, we can develop great potential. Not only can we fish, but we can also set up fish ponds, shrimp ponds, and whaling teams to provide stable sources of meat for the forces.

Moreover, there are many skilled craftsmen. Jiang Sheng learned from the investigation in the system that Hu Sanming collected many craftsmen in order to complete the silver mining, and even a few senior craftsmen who can build ships. On the right track, these high-quality population will continuously provide themselves with productivity.

Jiang Sheng is not in a hurry, all he needs to do now is to stabilize people's hearts, and when the foreign troubles are resolved, everything will come naturally.

"Everyone be quiet, be quiet, Mr. Jiang has something to say..."

Inside the altar, the four dogs played the role of dog legs very well, urging everyone to gather, and the villagers responded enthusiastically. After all, Lord Xiaojiang not only led them to lay down the cottage, so that everyone had food and clothing, but also Many miracles have been shown, and the prestige in the hearts of the people is still very high.

Jiang Sheng wandered among the crowd, inquiring about everyone's living conditions, and almost everyone smiled when they answered. After all, there are enough supplies now, and everyone can eat and clothe themselves. Compared with the nightmarish situation some time ago Days, where would there be any dissatisfaction?
"Everyone, I want to say one thing..." Jiang Sheng turned around and came to the high place of the altar, and said to everyone.

"Sir, let's listen..." A group of people responded one after another.

"I heard from Sigou that everyone is assigned to a wooden house now, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied!" A group of people nodded repeatedly.

"But this situation is very wasteful..." Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "I asked just now, there is a family of six who share a wooden house, but there are people..." Jiang Sheng pointed to the audience. A big man: "There is a single man, and no daughter-in-law, and he also occupies a wooden house?"

A group of people suddenly burst into laughter, and the men who were named shook their heads in embarrassment, and some of them blushed and said, "My... my lord... we don't want to, this... can't be done without a wife." ...don't give me a house to live in?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed even louder...

Jiang Sheng also smiled and glared at those people, then waved his hands to appease everyone, and after everyone had laughed, he said in a serious voice: "I know, many people had families not long ago, with wives, children, With a husband, if it weren't for those god damn savages, everyone is living very well now..."

As soon as this topic came up, all the laughter gradually faded away, and a sense of sadness that they didn't want to be mentioned spread across the audience. Many people immediately thought of their relatives who died tragically not long ago, and their eyes gradually turned red.

Jiang Sheng continued: "I didn't call you here today to bring up these sad things. Since we are going to start over now, we naturally have to look forward. I promise everyone that we will kill all the beasts at the foot of the mountain and do it for everyone. revenge for my relatives and friends, but have you ever thought about what will happen next? How will we live?"

A group of people raised their heads in a daze when they heard the words, and looked at Jiang Sheng in a daze, with confusion in their sad expressions.

From now on... how will I live?
Looking at the expressions of a group of lost lambs, Jiang Sheng smiled in his heart. The best way to stabilize people's hearts is to...paint cakes!

　Asking for recommendation tickets, asking for monthly tickets, rolling all over the floor asking for tickets.
