Chapter 211
When the Peach Blossom Village troop returned to the village, Xiao Ningxue had also heard from the patriarch Xiao Zhenwang and the others that after Shopkeeper Qian and his merchant team arrived in Changning City, they were separated from the people in Peach Blossom Village.
After all, they are businessmen who have been doing business for generations, and they don't know how to farm, so they all stay in Changning City, intending to do business there.But it's only been a few days? Why did you appear here in such a mess?
Shopkeeper Qian brushed Jie Jiu's dirty hair aside, revealing his chapped mouth that was bleeding, his hands and feet trembling with hunger.
Seeing this, Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang rushed to the city to get food and water for them, but were stopped by the shopkeeper Qian.
"There are so many of us, how much water and food do we need?" He looked at the green rapeseed field in the distance, and swallowed hard, "Did you grow those rapeseed?"
"Yes." Xiao Ningxue nodded.
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Shopkeeper Qian waved his hands excitedly at the troops behind him, shouting with all his might. "Those vegetables are grown by our brothers in Taohua Village, everyone hurry up and eat them."
After hearing this, the group of people rushed towards the rapeseed field like famished cattle.
Pick up a large amount of rapeseed heart and stuff it into your mouth, chewing it, it is more delicious than eating delicacies from mountains and seas.
Everyone didn't stop it.
These rapeseeds are juicy, tender and green, they have not been fertilized or treated, they are all green food.
The cabbage stalk is as thick as a thumb and contains a lot of water. Isn’t this the best thing for people who are extremely thirsty?
After they all stroked a few handfuls of cabbage and stuffed their stomachs, they regained some energy and had the strength to speak, and they all surrounded Xiao Ningxue and the others with miserable faces.
"Snow Girl, Snow Girl, Big Brother Wang, Second Brother Wang, where is your village?" "Is there any water? How do you grow rapeseed?"
Xiao Ningxue didn't know what they had gone through, but seeing that they were hungry and thirsty, she didn't want to ask more questions, so she pointed in the direction of the village.
"There is our village over there. There are rivers, water, and everything. Let's go back to the village first."
Back at Qiganling, Xiao Youzhi dragged his old grandmother into the wind and snow and got lost. That night, people from the entire merchant village went out to help find her. Xiao Ningxue never forgot this kindness.
And when Uncle Wang disappeared, they all helped to find him together.
What's more, most of the troops behind Taohua Village are old and weak women and children. If it weren't for the treasurer Qian and the others to take care of them along the way, it would not be possible to reach Ji'an County so smoothly.
The people in Taohua Village know how to repay their kindness, and they will definitely not refuse to save them.
Shopkeeper Qian and the others were also full of gratitude, and followed Xiao Ningxue and the others back to the village.
On the way, shopkeeper Qian gave a general account of what happened during this period.
It turned out that they also experienced a similar scam in Changning City, where the shop and the house were all transferred or sold to multiple people at the same time, and there must be a local person among them.
When everyone comes to fight for the shop or the house, the local will take out the deed and fight for the shop and the house.
This series of operations also fully demonstrated the phrase "a strong dragon can't beat a local snake".
It's useless to sue Jiang Nianyao, the governor of Su'an County. Most people are like Xiao Ningxue. Because they can't understand foreign characters, the signature on the contract is simply fake. cheated.
Shopkeeper Qian and the others, businessmen who have been shrewd all their lives, did not expect to fall into such a big stumble here.
"What about your carriage and luggage?" Xue Ruyun wondered at them who had nothing.
Shopkeeper Qian had a bitter face, his brows were frowning into knots.
"A few days ago, I met a group of refugees who specialize in robbery. They rode on horses with knives and robbed us of all our supplies."
"We are also desperate now. Do you need long-term workers in your village? We must learn how to farm well. If anyone dares to be lazy, he can be beaten with a whip at any time."
"There is no other requirement, as long as there is something to eat."
Xiao Ningxue was delighted to hear this, these are all shrewd and capable businessmen, this time is just a good time to get along with them, get to know their characters, pick out some trustworthy people, and help them in the future own use.
Although she also fell in the way of the local aliens and was tricked by them, she didn't give up the idea of doing business, but it aroused her fighting spirit even more, and she had to make the business bigger.
Thinking so, Xiao Ningxue didn't say anything, after all, it was up to the villagers to decide whether to keep them or not.
Talking all the way, everyone came to the entrance of the village.
Seeing so many people coming, the men in the village took up weapons and blocked the entrance of the village. After all, they don't know who is coming, so be careful in everything.
Seeing that it was Shopkeeper Qian and the others, everyone was very surprised.
But I didn't ask too much, they are all in such a state of desperation, they must be extremely hungry and thirsty, let them eat first.
So Wang Yonggui ordered the big guys to go back to cook, and then arranged more than a dozen people from each household of this group of people to go in, and the meals and accommodation were temporarily arranged like this.
After eating, they boiled water to take a bath, and found some clean clothes for them to change into. After that, the big guys gathered again at Shaguping for a meeting.
It was not too cold at night in April, but a few bonfires were still burned.
Wang Yonggui, Xue Andong, Xiao Shan, Xiao Zhenwang and other patriarchs all came. In addition, shopkeeper Qian and their respected businessmen all sat around the bonfire.
Xiao Ningxue and Xue Ruyun love to join in the fun, each took a handful of chestnuts and planed them in the fire, but their ears were stiffened, listening to the big guys talking.
Shopkeeper Qian shaved his beard, became much thinner, and became much stronger. Holding a stick to the fire, he spoke in a somewhat dejected manner.
"We were scammed by local aliens in Changning City to steal a lot of property, and we were robbed of all the supplies on the way. There is really nowhere to go."
"If you need long-term jobs, we will do long-term jobs for you. If you don't need them, we can only go to the city and work as long-term jobs for local people."
Wang Yonggui clicked his bong, and looked at Shopkeeper Qian and the others very puzzled.
"Why? Would you rather be a long-term laborer for others than cultivate the land yourself? Wouldn't you like to be a farmer?"
Several leaders of the merchant village, including shopkeeper Qian, blushed anxiously when they heard this.
"We don't want to reclaim the land, we don't want to be farmers."
"Hasn't the land on both sides of the river been occupied? There is no water in other places. Where can we reclaim the land?"
Their generations of businessmen are all wealthy families, and they used to call their slaves and servants. Who would be willing to be a slave until the end of the world? It is because they feel that they have no choice.
But Wang Yonggui pointed to the northwest direction of Baoshi Lake, and said firmly, "There is no one stationed there, so we can dig a river and reclaim land there."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian and the others had a gleam of hope in their eyes.Before he could speak, a pleasant male voice sounded from behind.
"Yeah, farming and fruit trees can also make a fortune. It doesn't have to be a business."
When Xiao Ningxue heard this familiar voice, her heart beat violently, she threw the chestnut in her hand to the ground, and jumped towards the people behind her happily like a butterfly.
