There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 166
The other brothers of the Qi family have long been familiar with the fact that the old man only entrusted the important task of discussing matters to the second and fourth children.

In terms of brains, these two people are really the only ones who can do it.

But when Qi Dafu and Qi Sangui heard that Qi Quanjin asked them to follow, Qi Dafu and Qi Sangui had no objection and moved things honestly.

Yi Meng acted quickly, first prepared a bowl of tea for the four of them, then went into the kitchen and started making pimple soup.

I picked two shallots from the space, cut them into chopped green onions, poured oil into the pan, put the chopped green onions in and stir-fried when it was hot.

Add some soy sauce to taste and color, then add water.

While waiting for the water to boil, start making gnocchi quickly.

They are all eaten by their own family, and the lumps are not uniform in size.

Scooped a bowl of noodles, ordered cold water, and stirred them with chopsticks. When the water boiled, pour the gnocchi into it.

Throw in a small handful of spinach when it's almost done.

To say how delicious it is, it’s not enough, but it’s still very happy to eat a bowl of hot gnocchi in this cold weather.

Yi Meng didn't say it was only for these few people, but also made four bowls and asked Quan Quanjin to send them to the old man's house.

The old man feels light, and the old lady will definitely wake up after the old man enters the house, so she simply brings a bowl for the old couple to eat and talk at the same time.

As for the old five and the sixth, they were called to the fourth house.

The children on the kang were still sleeping soundly, and everyone was not talking loudly.

After snorting and finishing the noodle soup, everyone sat together and began to study the next arrangement.

However, the others were just listening in, and only Qi Ercai and Qiqijin were the ones who really discussed matters.

"I've seen the nearby map in the government office before. There are a lot of wastelands, but we want to settle down to live, so the mountains and rivers can't be too far away, otherwise it will be inconvenient to use."

Qi Qijin said: "Second brother and I have chosen two places, one by the mountains and the other by the water. When the weather gets warmer, let's go and have a look?"

Qi Dafu and others nodded together, expressing that they had no objection.

Qi Ercai originally had the same plan, but Ke Yimeng frowned and said, "Can I go and have a look now?"

"Now?"

Qi Quanjin was surprised: "It's such a cold day, and there's such a thick snow, what do you think?"

Yi Meng frowned, and glared at him angrily: "Take Man Baoer, let Man Baoer take a look."

Man Bao'er is now the little Fubao in the family, and everyone has reached a unified understanding of this.

Qi Dafu couldn't help expressing his opinion: "It's such a cold day, what if the child is frozen?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Others also felt that such an arrangement was inappropriate.

But Yi Meng said: "It's not like going tomorrow. Second brother, Jin brother, you go to the government to confirm the specific place in the next two days. If you can't do it, you can spend some money to find an official to lead the way. The eldest brother and the third brother will take the carriage at home. The carriage should be tidied up and made thicker, and a brazier will be lit inside, so the road won’t be too cold.”

"That's okay, but, but..."

Quan Quanjin scratched his head, thinking that it was still easy to freeze, but he shook his head in the end: "Okay, I have no objection."

The others looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.

Yi Meng sighed: "Actually, I also feel sorry for my daughter, but think about it, the city has taken in a lot of refugees and refugees, can all these people be resettled in other villages?"

"Even if it is resettled, can the village take the opportunity to find more land from the government for expansion?"

"Brother Jin, tell me, are the two places you're looking for close to other villages?"

Following Yi Meng's roll call, Qi Qijin seriously recalled, and then said: "Both have villages, and the two wastelands are located downstream of the river, or very close to the mountains."

"Look, there are villages nearby. If people really want to expand, can they let go of such good nearby places and instead go to other bad places?"

Yi Meng sighed: "Don't say it's the beginning of spring, even if you go to see it now, the two places you both fancy have probably been taken away."

These words made everyone's faces tense.

Qi Ercai looked at Yimeng: "Fourth brother and sister, if you have any ideas, just say it!"

"Actually, I don't have any special ideas. I just want to confirm it as soon as possible. It used to be because I didn't have enough money on hand, but now we have more money. If we are still timid, it is easy to miss a good opportunity."

Yi Meng frowned: "But although we have money in our hands now, I don't think we should be too ostentatious. Second brother, Jin brother, when you go to the government to look at the land, try to choose some remote places."

These words made everyone's eyes widen.

Quan Qili even blurted out: "Fourth sister-in-law, it's too remote, it's not safe!"

"It's not safe, but the area is large enough, and the price should be cheaper."

Yi Meng explained patiently: "Don't think about a good place, there must be other villages. We are going to build a new village, and we will build it next to his old village. Can he not make a fuss?"

"Besides, it's really going to be a mess, where can it be really safe?"

"Let's choose a remote place. At most, it will be more difficult at the beginning. When we get back to life, we will build a wall around the periphery. Even if it is dangerous, do people have to weigh it?"

The new village that Yi dreamed of building was actually to build a fortress.

It is surrounded by high walls and guarded by people. If someone wants to make trouble, he has to weigh it carefully.

It's just that these words shocked the six brothers of the Qi family beyond measure.

Quan Quanyin licked his dry lips, and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Si, you, you want to occupy land and become king?"

"What do you say!"

Yi Meng rolled his eyes at him angrily: "We are still under the control of the imperial court, it's just that we have more ability to protect ourselves. I have traveled to some places before, and there are quite a few private villages like forts."

"It's surrounded by a high wall outside, and the people living inside live and work in peace and contentment. We're not talking about guarding against anyone, but it's alright to guard against wild beasts on the mountain, right?"

Occupying land as a king, supporting soldiers to be self-respecting, these are not good words, it is absolutely impossible for Yimeng to let her family bear such a reputation.

"It's anti-beast."

Qi Dafu suddenly said with emotion: "When I was in my hometown, the village was just a wall for every household. I remember when I was a few years old, there were wild boars rushing down on the mountain to harm the villagers. The second boy of the old Chen family, you Didn’t even know there was such a person! He was killed by a wild boar that year.”

When this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Not to mention other people, even Qi Ercai was still young back then, so he didn't even know that such a thing happened.

When I was in my hometown, I heard the old people in the village say that you are not allowed to run around, and there will be wild beasts coming down to eat children, but when you grow up, everyone thinks it is the words of the old people to scare the children.

I never thought, this turned out to be true!
