Chapter 1105 Long term plan
"Mom, they want to rob our family of food. For this one stone of millet, our family has emptied the food tanks of the villagers. This is the friendship of the whole village towards our family. How can we take advantage of these bandits?"

In recent years, the land of Qilu has been suffering from drought for many years, food production has been reduced, people have been in dire straits, and serious famine has occurred.

One stone of millet is equal to ten buckets, one bucket is equal to ten liters, and one liter is equal to about 600 grams.

Converted to modern market kilograms, one stone of millet is at least 120 kilograms.

A stone of millet and some wild vegetables is enough for a family like the Zhu family to survive for three to four months.

In terms of money, these grains are even more precious. Without the government to stabilize prices, there is no limit to the price increase during famine years.

The average price of millet is 700 to 800 yuan a dou during the New Year, but in disaster years, the price is doubled.

If there is a disaster year, coupled with war and chaos, it is impossible to buy food at three or four times the price, and it is impossible to have it at any time.

In this kind of feudal dynasty, food cannot be calculated in terms of money during disaster years, it is the lifeblood.

This is not a future where you can just buy food if you have money. There are too many times when you can’t buy food even if you have money.

"Sigh... let's not talk about it anymore, now that it's settled here." My mother, Mrs. Zhu Wei, was naturally not a weak person because she could support a man's Boxer Rebellion. After calming down, his mood eased a lot:

"Zhuan Wen, please pack up and go to Tanjia Village to welcome the bride. Don't miss the time to welcome the bride."

My mother helped Zhu Chuanwen tidy up the big red flowers on his chest and patted the dust on Zhu Chuanwen's body.

"Mom, things haven't gone well since we left the house. We even had to use a knife and saw blood. How can we get married? Let Chuanwu go to Tanjia Village to inform them. The marriage will be put on hold for now and we'll discuss it later."

Zhu Chuanwen is actually not superstitious. He has various taboos and worries about unlucky things. He simply cannot bear to part with the stone millet.

They are reluctant to give these people's food to the bandits, and they are also reluctant to exchange this food for their wives.

These grains were collected from all the relatives and friends of the old Zhu family in Zhujiayu, after searching all their property.

The land of Qilu is in trouble this year, and it will be even more difficult next year. In the troubled times in the next few years, the people will have more and more difficulties.

Zhu Chuanwen really couldn't afford this friendship.

If Zhu Chuanwen still stayed in Zhujiayu, he would certainly not worry about paying back the favors he owed to his relatives.

But I know that my family will run away soon.

Lending these grains to Zhu Chuanwen's family is likely to cause these relatives and friends to starve to death for a period of time because they have no food.

Zhu Chuanwen really couldn't afford this gift.

"Brother, I want to ride a horse." When Chuanwu saw a horse, it was like an old pervert seeing a woman.

"Then ride slower and don't fall yourself."

Thinking that Chuanwu had also ridden some animals, and that the two bandit horses were both docile draft horses, the wish of the second brother Mang to ride a horse was fulfilled.

"Chuan Wen, the matter between you and Xian'er has been decided for a long time, and you should get married a long time ago. There has been a drought for three years, and your marriage has been delayed for three years.

Lao Tan's family is already very anxious. They have urged you again and again, and the conditions have been lowered again and again. Now you only need one stone of millet. After finally borrowing so much food, you can finally get married. You are worried again. "

Zhu Wei obviously had some complaints about the decision to pass the text.

"Mom, let's talk about this when we get home."

Seeing the musician who had left earlier and bringing the security guard over, Zhu Chuanwen used the drag technique.

It's inconvenient to talk outside, so I plan to persuade my mother properly after I get home.

When the security chief came, he gave Zhu Chuanwen a few words of verbal encouragement and wiped out a group of bandits without even a single material reward.

Fortunately, Zhu Chuanwen didn't have any expectations.

I just wanted to kill the bandits and not bring any trouble to the family before Lao Zhu's family ran away.

Waiting for the security chief to lead people to take away the living and dead bandits and wash the ground.

Zhu Chuanwen then took Zhu Weishi, Chuanjie and several musicians back to Zhujiayu.

When I got home, I had another good explanation to my relatives and friends.

When Chuanjie came back to ask for help, he howled when he encountered bandits on the road. His relatives and friends were not particularly surprised that Zhu Chuanwen did not pick up his wife, and they did not ask too many questions.

"Mom, let's return these millets door to door, right?"

After the others left, Zhu Chuanwen said to Mrs. Zhu Wei again.

"This is the food that my mother-in-law borrowed to get you a wife because she had a lot of dignity. When the future is better, we can just pay back double the amount. If you pay it back now, what will you use to get a wife?"

Although Mrs. Zhu Wei and her relatives and friends are saying that the Tan family wants a stone of food to marry their daughter, they are not trying to make things difficult for anyone.

But in this calamity year when food is more precious than gold, it takes a stone of millet to send their daughter off to get married. The Tan family is actually putting themselves in trouble.

The purpose of getting married is to be festive and auspicious, lively and joyful.

When relatives and friends come over, it’s not easy to just slap him in the face and say, your son is really trash, he has no ability, and he can’t even get a wife.

It takes a lot of money to get a girl willing to marry into your family.

"Mom, if this happens, I won't be able to get a wife for a while, so I'd better return the food to everyone first. I've emptied the wealth of everyone in Zhujiayu and asked me for a wife, and I won't feel at ease with the one I get.

Now that we have wiped out this group of bandits, we have also obtained two horses and a few silver coins. After a while, we will give these away and exchange them for food. It does not mean that we can no longer discuss the matter of getting married. "

Zhu Chuanwen would definitely not accept being manipulated.

Even Tan Xian'er, the daughter of the Tan family, is not beautiful.

It was impossible for Zhu Chuanwen to marry a wife with such frustration.

"Chuanwen, you have grown up, and your father is not at home, so you are the one in charge of this family." Perhaps because of her experience in killing bandits, Mrs. Zhu Wei realized that Zhu Chuanwen had grown up. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally agreed:

"Chuanjie, bring the bill you wrote down. If you want to pay back the food, let's pay it back as soon as possible. Let's send it back to them now. Leaving so much food at home will also bring disaster."

In this era when the literacy rate was not high, the third child in the Zhu family, Zhu Chuanjie, had the highest level of education. Although he was only a fourteen-year-old child, the third child had attended private school for several years.

The level of Chinese studies has surpassed that of later generations of high school students.

The child was already smart, but Chuanjie could only remember the old Zhu family’s accounting matters best.

"Mom, I'm back, let's eat."

At this moment, Chuanwu also ran back from Tanjia Village. After returning, he complained that he was hungry.

"You've been complaining about hunger all day long. Can you be more calm? You're just like a monkey all day long. You can't rest at all. You're jumping up and down. Can you not be hungry?"

Mrs. Zhu Wei started nagging at Zhu Laoer Chuanwu.

It was already the time when we were not full, so everyone else would lie down and sit after eating to reduce consumption.

Chuanwu has to practice fists and kicks every day to build up his strength. It would be weird if he doesn't scream from hunger.

If you are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, it is indeed more expensive to practice martial arts than to study.

Not to mention in such a disaster year.

But this second child really likes boxing and has to practice even when he is hungry. There is nothing Zhu Wei can do.

Not to mention the family history of the old Zhu family, in the era of war and chaos, some boxing and kicking training was just needed, so I can only talk about it.

"Have you come to Lao Tan's house to inform you that you've met your sister Xian'er?" Zhu Chuanwen asked Chuanwu. We still have to talk about business.

"I saw him, Uncle Tan was very angry, and Sister Xian'er was very worried."

"When I have some free time in the afternoon, let's go to their home."

This matter still needs to have a result. How to deal with it? Zhu Chuanwen still has to go over and see the situation in person.

Lao Zhu's family had pancakes and wild vegetable soup for lunch.

Given the conditions of Lao Zhu's family, they would not be able to eat dry food like pancakes.

This is because Zhu Chuanwen got married, and many relatives in the village collected some food and made some pancakes and sent them over.

I hope my wife’s first meal at Zhu’s house won’t be too shabby. Now that Zhu Chuanwen and Zhu Chuanwu were fighting hard, eating something dry was a comfort.

Eating the pancakes in his hand made Zhu Chuanwen even more aware of how honest the villagers were towards his own people at this time.

This friendship is even more precious. Borrowing life-saving food from various families and marrying your own wife is so hot.

The first thing after dinner, Zhu Chuanwen followed the Zhu Wei family to return food to various houses.

Zhu Chuanwen, in addition to carrying the grain bags, also wanted to solemnly thank these people.

It is also to recognize people clearly, and when conditions permit, they must reciprocate.

Waiting to return the grain to relatives and friends, Lao Zhu's family still had two buckets of millet left.

There are still some scattered cornmeal, sorghum noodles, buckwheat noodles and other coarse grains left at home.

You don’t have to worry about running out of food for a short period of time.

After all, in normal times, just drink a little wild vegetable porridge.

When there is no work to do, there is no luxury to make rice.

These grains are enough for the Zhu family for the time being.

"Brother, let's go out and practice. I see you haven't practiced much. I didn't expect you to be so good!"

After returning, Chuanwu pestered Zhu Chuanwen, looking like a martial arts fanatic.

Lao Zhu's family has serious martial arts heirlooms, and his father Zhu Kaishan practices eighth-level boxing.

It had only been four years since Zhu Chuanwen, Zhu Chuanwu and Zhu Chuanjie all received Zhu Chuankai's inheritance before Zhu Kaishan left.

"I want to rest. After I rest, I have to go to Tanjia Village. If you want to practice, you can practice on your own."

Zhu Chuanwen patted Chuanwu and replied, "This second brother is indeed very strong."

But before he could figure out his thoughts, Zhu Chuanwen had no intention of training his second brother in martial arts.

"Chuan Wu... You come with me. Let's go to the courtyard and my second brother will take you to practice martial arts. I usually let you practice martial arts and you don't follow suit. If you encounter bandits this time, you will have no choice but to run back."

Zhu Chuanwu went to ask Chuanjie to practice martial arts together.

Chuanwu could understand Chuanjie's behavior of running back to ask for help, but he would not agree with it.

Compared to Chuanjie's cleverness, this second brother is really straightforward and reckless.

"Second brother, I also want to rest for a while."

Not all people can be good at both civil and military skills. It is great to be able to do the same.

Chuanjie obviously likes to study literature and does not like to work hard to practice martial arts.

Over the years, Chuanwu has been practicing wrestling and needs sparring partners, so he urges Chuanjie to practice together.

Chuanjie just made do with it and practiced.

"Why don't you rest? I ate so much at noon. If I don't move around, it will be in vain."

Chuanwu didn't let Chuanjie go and pulled him out.

"Brother..."

Chuanjie turned to Zhu Chuanwen and called for help.

"It's better to practice with your second brother. The world will be in chaos in the future. It's really impossible without some force. Even if you can't become a master, you should also improve your physical strength so that you can run even if you are unable to fight. faster."

Zhu Chuanwen agreed with Chuanwu. If you want to survive in troubled times, you must have a good body.

It was also because I needed an environment to be alone that I sold my third brother.

The two brothers were playing and practicing martial arts in the yard, while Zhu Chuanwen was alone in the house.

Lying on the bed, I began to organize my thoughts.

『System, check the task. 』

"Congratulations to the host for traveling to the world of "Crossing Guandong""

"Main mission: I am a hero and a good man, I am better than my master. 』

This task is actually quite difficult.

Zhu Chuanwen's father Zhu Kaishan in this life is not an ordinary person.

He is a recognized hero who can truly spread his name to one side. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces attacked the capital.

A ruthless person who dared to cause trouble for the Boxers to open an incense hall, and led a group of local patriots to the capital to beat him up.

The stronger ones are not only brave, but also resourceful.

After getting involved in this kind of thing, you can protect yourself and later earn a huge family fortune.

It can be said that Zhu Kaishan practiced the traditional virtues of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust to a certain extent.

The task was very difficult, but Zhu Chuanwen did not want to change or delete the task through the task modification card.

Now that we have come to this era, we must do something.

If it was just to survive, it would obviously be a waste of time.

"System, open the personal panel. 』

Elementary level eight boxing 68/100
This body is actually relatively weak compared to people who practice martial arts.

Maybe it’s because I don’t like practicing martial arts, or maybe I don’t have enough food to keep up with my nutrition.

Already twenty years old, he has just reached the standards of an adult in all aspects.

Even with the blessing of various talents, it can't be considered outstanding.

In terms of strength, it is not even as good as other worlds, when you are a teenager.

The physique is not strong enough, and the speed looks good.

It was also because Zhu Chuanwen used the bronze talent lottery settled in the previous world.

I got a blessed result of "body is as light as a swallow".

This talent is not useless in this era. After all, if the technology is not good enough, you will need to use your legs and feet many times.

But you can’t just rely on talent. After solving the eating problem, you need to practice hard.

The only surprise is that this body was inherited from Zhu Chuanshan who taught him Bajiquan.

In addition to form and meaning, it is another practical boxing method known for its fierceness.

It is not surprising that Zhu Kaishan can rely on his fists to achieve such a big name.

But Zhu Chuanwen has been practicing for more than ten years, and he is still a beginner. It can be said that he is a mess at practice.

I don't like to practice martial arts. It's one thing that I neglect to practice, and it's also another thing that my original skills are not that good.

This body did not inherit any of Zhu Kaishan's innate supernatural power.
