The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 81 The Fifth Battalion Has a Great Skill in Making Cars!

The disbandment of the village protection team has been delayed for a few days. When the news was first received, everyone was still not sure. They did not feel relieved until the news of the officers and soldiers in Didao was confirmed.

Although the village protection team was not established for a long time, a lot of public assets have been generated during this period. How to dispose of these assets has become the most important thing before the village protection team is disbanded.

The final result of the discussion was that whoever uses the knives, guns, arrows and crossbows and some felt armor made later will keep them. If there is another incident like chaos, each family can immediately form a team by taking out the things kept by each family.

Of the six captured war horses, except for the one given to Yang Shunan as private property, the other five were raised by the head of Sanzhuang, and returned to the village guards if necessary.Originally Song Yingkui meant to be raised by knights on horseback, but the knights were unwilling.Horses are not mules, they can't do crops, and it costs fodder to raise them. In the end, they can only be raised by families with good conditions. Song Yingkui allocated a horse to take care of the family.

There are also big items like cannon carts, which are brought home by big households for storage. The cannon carts need to be maintained frequently, and in the end this task fell to Song Yingkui.

I am a farmer, and I lead soldiers to kill thieves in times of crisis.Standing in the potato field on the top of the mountain, I took a long look at the quiet Qinglong Temple from a distance.Song Yingkui couldn't help recalling the experiences of the past few months. Life is really full of drama, and he actually got addicted to commanding troops to fight.

I hope the world will be better in the future, and don't let me do such exciting things again.

"Kuiwa, you said that yams can save lives at critical times. You are absolutely right. This year other crops are thin, but the yams we planted are growing well. A few days ago, your grandpa said that it is fortunate that you have planted [-] acres of yams this year, otherwise it will be a year." Song Tianshun, who led the whole family to dig potatoes, praised his grandson's foresight while collecting potatoes into the box.

With such a capable grandson, Song Tianshun felt that this life was worth living.How many years has it been?The Song family has become the head of the village under the leadership of the eldest grandson. How can the Song family be more developed in the future.

"The chaos is about to settle down, and the shop at home will reopen. After the potatoes are dug, my second father and I will go to open the shop. I don't know if the business will be good after this chaos." The harvest in the field is just like this, and Song Yingkui is most worried about whether the business can resume as soon as possible.

This year's crop production has been greatly reduced, the summer grain harvest is almost complete, and there are wars again. It is really unknown when the business market in Wuying Town will recover!

However, compared to other people, the situation of the Song family is good enough, at least there is no worry about starvation, and it is unknown how the nearby villagers who do not have paddy fields will survive until next year's grain harvest.There are also families like the Yang family, where tragic events happened to their families.

"This year's business is estimated to be hard to do. Few of the farmers can afford the money. No matter how famine survives the famine, they will be worried. This is because the government doesn't collect taxes, and it's even more troublesome to collect taxes!"

It's all so miserable and you still have to collect taxes?After being reminded by his grandfather, Song Yingkui remembered that there was still one major event to be done this year.The disappeared government is back, will the tax also follow?Governments in feudal society seem to have few tax exemptions.If taxes are collected under the current situation, wouldn't the common people be forced to a dead end!
Speaking of which, the people in the vicinity grow fewer potatoes. This year, only Yangjiabao in Wuying Town has grown potatoes, but the total acreage is less than [-] mu.Song Yingkui's family planted [-] mu, the old house planted [-] mu more, and others like Ding Huanyi's family planted less than [-] mu.If everyone in the village planted a few acres of potatoes this year, they would at least be able to make ends meet without starving to death.

"Grandpa, we won't make vermicelli this year. In addition to saving enough seeds, other potato farmers will lend them food if they come to borrow food, and they will pay it back when they harvest next year. The old house also told me that their family has the most potatoes. Everyone has suffered this year, and they can help."

Song Yingkui can't take care of other places, so let's do what the village's local ability can do, can't we just watch people starve?Potatoes have saved everyone’s lives in this famine. Next year, the people in the village will definitely grow more potatoes, and then they can expand the vermicelli industry. It is a great thing to benefit others and themselves.

After digging potatoes for a few days, Song Yingkui took his third uncle, second brother, third brother, younger sister, second uncle and Ding Huanyi to the shop in Xiakou.Regardless of whether his business is good or bad, let's tidy up the shop first.Boil slowly, always boil again.

Song Yingfang and Song Yingquan, the two boys, also failed in their lives. They had just been sent to the school to study for a few months, when they encountered chaos and had to interrupt their studies.With this interruption, we don't know when we will be able to resume classes!The workshop was re-opened, and the dismantled machinery needed to be installed and repaired. It was a time when there was a shortage of manpower, so asking him to help out could save some wages.

I haven't contacted Jiang Xiaohu for several months, and I don't know how his family's situation is, whether it has been affected by the chaos.Logically speaking, there should be a way to avoid disaster with the second uncle, who is an official, in his family.For example, fleeing to Wazhou City or Gongchang City, people without official status are not eligible to flee to the city when there is chaos.

Surprisingly, just as the shop in Xiakou was being cleaned up, a group of customers came!
Among this group of guests was an old acquaintance, Wang Jinxiong. Besides him, there were several soldiers in military uniforms riding war horses.

When he first saw these soldiers, Song Yingkui's mind came up with the image of the officials taking people from the Water Margin.I'm afraid these people will say: "Song Yingkui, what happened to you has happened, why don't you get arrested soon?"

Fortunately, they didn't say that!

When Wang Jinxiong arrived at the shop, he said straight to the point: "Brother Song, these are military masters under General Yao's account. This time, my brother brought some military masters here to send you a deal."

Lead a few soldiers to deliver business?Why does it sound unbelievable?Song Yingkui was a little puzzled, and after meeting with someone, he hurriedly asked Wang Jinxiong what business he wanted to give him.

"I've heard people say that Wuying has a lot of skill in making carts. Today, Mr. Lu saw the real face of shopkeeper Song. My surname is Lu, and I'm the secretary in charge of General Dragon and Tiger of Qinzhou. Today, the leader of the Wang Gang led the way to find you. He wanted to buy five hundred carts pulled by my general in your shop. I wonder when you will be able to finish these carts?"

Song Yingkui was taken aback by what the leading soldier beside Wang Jinxiong said.And buy five hundred shelf cars?Isn't this a scam?Bullshit giveaway.Song Yingkui has no common sense anymore, and he also knows what the government's and buys are all about.Isn't it just buying things at low prices under the guise of purchasing for the government?It's no different than direct robbery.

"Master Lu, it's not that he doesn't want to serve General Yao, it's just that a clever woman can't live without rice. The Fifth Battalion has been in chaos, and there's simply not enough wood for [-] vehicles. Apart from wood, I can't find iron materials for wheel bearings now. Another thing is that it takes a lot of manpower to make [-] vehicles, and my small shop can't gather so many people!"
