The second generation of immortals fled famine in ancient times and engaged in infrastructure constr

Chapter 81

After hearing Wei Jin's words, Wen Yu's eyes moved, and she didn't interrupt, waiting for Wei Jin to continue.

Wei Jin took a step forward, and said in a delicate tone, "We still have a month or two to go south. Although there is no problem now, the further we go, the more obvious what we lack."

"The most important thing is the craftsman. At present, all the wooden products in the village are made by Cui Er. After all, he only has one person, and it is not enough to bring apprentices out in a month or two. Many times, when we go to places with sufficient firewood, But due to time constraints, I couldn’t make more things.”

"Not only carpenters, but also other types. For example, if we want to build a house after we go south, we will definitely need a knowledgeable mason. Forging farm tools and iron, we need a blacksmith. Wang Langzhong is just a barefoot doctor who can only treat simple diseases. A doctor is needed."

"There are a lot of people fleeing from famine. According to the ratio of one out of a hundred, there are still seven or eight craftsmen available."

Wei Jin nodded when he saw Wen Yu thinking. Although she is a daughter and not very old, she is powerful and has mastered immortal arts. She can bring out a group of top-notch troops. His boldness and strategy are not a loss.

"The second point is people."

"How many people are there in total?" Wei Jin asked Xu Laoer.

Xu Lao Er paused, and blurted out the familiar number: "There are 250 and four people in the village."

Wei Jin continued to ask: "How much labor is that?"

The second child Xu understood what Wei Jin meant, and responded cooperatively: "Counting young adults over the age of 15, there are 97 people in total. If women are added, there are 160 people."

"If there is a battle, some of them will be allocated to guard the elderly and children. Women are inherently weak, and most of them are not as strong as men. In addition, some of them are strong in force, and they are only in their early [-]s."

"Among them, there are only a few who are truly capable of fighting and can defeat the enemy without Miss Wen's support."

"So we are short of people."

Wei Jin looked at Wen Yu: "There is still a shortage of laborers who can be trained to become combat power."

"Among these fleeing famines, according to Ms. Wen, there are not many old people, women, and children with poor physical strength. Doesn't that just meet our needs?"

Wen Yu nodded, Wei Jin considered everything comprehensively, and she couldn't deny that this was indeed a good thing for the villagers.

"The key lies in how to make them completely return to Miss Wen."

Wen Yu:?Something is wrong.

Why focus on her?

I just understand the situation, and I will escort the villagers to the south to find a safe place!
Wei Jin ignored Wen Yu's doubts and continued, "There is a third point."

"Chang'an City will not allow these refugees to enter the city. Rich families are used to having children at home, and they can at most find a few to do coolies. Yongzhou is more relaxed about the settlement of refugees, and it can even be said to welcome them."

"We went to Yongzhou with 250 people. Because of the small number of people, there is a high probability that we will be scattered and integrated into other villages and towns. If we increase the number of people, we can completely persuade the government to set aside a piece of land to house us."

"That way everyone doesn't get scattered."

Wei Jin gave Xu Laoer a look.

Wei Jin: At that time, it will be a time for us to accumulate strength and hide our strength and bide our time.

Second Xu: Awesome!
"Brother Yuanzheng is far-sighted!" Xu Laoer sighed that he still had a lot to learn, and praised sincerely.

"Brother Wei Yuanzheng is indeed thoughtful."

Wen Yu admitted that what Wei Jin said was very reasonable, taking into account the current and future aspects, there is no worries.

She suddenly understood why the storyteller said that Wei Jin was brilliant, and if it wasn't suppressed by villains, he must have been famous.

It would be great if this kind of talent can stay in the team forever.

Wen Yu sighed lightly. It's a pity. According to the agreement, they only need to escort Wei Jin to the next town. Now that Chang'an, which is second only to the capital city in prosperity, has arrived, Wei Jin will definitely leave.

Well, she wants Xu Laoer to stay by Wei Jin's side twelve hours a day these days, learn more things, and squeeze Wei Jin dry!
Wen Yu was thinking this way, but she didn't know that Wei Jin's thoughts had changed.

"In order to facilitate the follow-up reception of this group of people, I have a suggestion, we need Miss Wen to cooperate in acting." Wei Jin laughed, bright and cunning like a spring breeze.

"What play?" Wen Yu was aroused.

"Let's listen to someone in detail."

Listening to Wei Jin's thoughts, Wen Yu's eyes lit up little by little.

The sky was getting dark, and a few stars were lazily scattered in the night sky. The crescent moon was thin, and the moonlight was hazy, leaving only a shallow light on the ground.

Wang Er tightly held the grain bag that had previously contained wheat, and he suddenly began to hesitate whether to act or not.

Their son is well taken care of by them, and they must let him eat first when they find food.

So even though Wang Er and his daughter-in-law are already skinny, their son is still healthy, but his face is a little sallow from eating too much wild vegetables.

Someone lit a fire not far away, and the faint smell of barbecue wafted along the wind.

Wang Er gritted his teeth again and again, and finally moved his steps.

"Xiaoer, I'm a little thirsty."

Just as he walked near the stroller and wanted to pick up his sleeping son, Wang Er's grandfather suddenly spoke.

I thought that grandpa had already fallen asleep, but when he heard the sound suddenly, Wang Er, who had done something wrong, was startled, his body froze, and it took him a while to recover.

"Okay, I'm going to fetch water."

For some reason, Wang Er breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took the water bag to fetch water.

Although there was not enough food along the way, there was no shortage of water. Some of the deserters who traveled with me came from other places and met in the middle of the road. I heard from them that it was because of the severe drought, poor harvests, and being near the battlefield. , There were many natural and man-made disasters, so I had to escape.

Many people died of thirst along the way.

Wang Er felt lucky for this, and fortunately they had enough water on their way, but thinking about it now, it would be better to die of thirst due to lack of water.

The stream was in a relatively remote location, and Wang Er glanced at his sleeping daughter-in-law before leaving, seeing her tired face, he finally couldn't bear to wake her up.

It's okay, the place he chose to rest is some distance away from the group of people, so it should be safe.

However, the tail of the group of beasts 'eating' had already 'eat' near Wang Er's family, and it seemed that in a day or two, his family would not be able to escape the final tragedy.

Walking to the stream and filling several water bladders, Wang Er heard someone walking in the distance, stopped and listened carefully, it seemed to be his illusion again.

I was really hungry and dizzy, and I had auditory hallucinations.

When I think of being hungry, I think of food, and then my mouth recalls the taste of eating meat.

"Gudong."

Wang Er swallowed his saliva and quickened his pace to go back.

Now that we have made up our minds, we have also agreed with Brother Zhao's family to exchange children tonight. If he breaks his promise, Brother Zhao will definitely be angry tomorrow, and maybe he will do it again.

It's all about keeping promises.

Wang Er found a good reason for himself, it seems that this way he can feel at ease.

When he got back to where his family was in the dark, and wanted to pass the water bag to his grandfather, Wang Er froze like petrified.

"Boom."

The water bag in his hand slipped and hit the ground heavily.
