Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

"Oh, what about this?" He Xiong looked at the three of them one by one. They were so frightened that all three of them turned pale and sweated on their foreheads.

At best, they are just wealthy families with some wealth. They may have some confidence in bullying the Tai family, but when faced with the iron-blooded border guards, their legs will immediately weaken!

"Master Jun, we just... just didn't reach an agreement for a while and didn't dare to cause trouble!"

"Yes, yes, we just want to change some seeds, we really didn't do anything bad!"

"Master Jun Mingcha!"

The three of them bowed and bowed, as obediently as students who dare not express their anger after seeing their husband.

He Xiong snorted coldly and responded, "Xi Zuo, a Rakshasa, has infiltrated into Tai'an. We are here to arrest him. From today on, the thirty-mile radius around Taijia Village will be our land of martial law. No one can step on it at will." You will be subject to interrogation upon entry!
"Because you don't know this order, let's stop it today. If you offend again, you will be tortured!"

"Yes, yes!" The three squires agreed quickly, then got into the carriage and ran away like lost dogs!

Tai Yonglu cheered like a victorious general!
Mr. Tai stepped forward and asked, "How many people have Brother He brought over and arranged to live in the row house? Is it possible? As for eating a big pot of rice for three meals a day, there is no big fish or meat, but they will definitely be enough!" He Xiong He quickly responded, "Old man, I brought 200 people here and planned to patrol in two shifts, so I just arranged accommodation for 100 people. As for eating..."

Feeling guilty, he took out 100 taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them directly to the old man, "These are the food expenses given by the general. They should be enough for half a month. There should have been more, but it is really difficult in the army." …”

The old man took the banknote and said, "That's enough. I just want to buy some food. I have the rest of the vegetables and the like, so I don't need any money!"

After saying that, he directly handed over the banknote to his eldest daughter-in-law behind him.

This amount of money is equivalent to half a tael of silver per person per month. It is barely enough to eat a sorghum flour pancake, occasionally mixed with some rice noodles, but the oil, salt, meat and vegetables are not enough.

Yang Lihua was like a mirror in her heart, but she also said with a smile, "Brother He, don't worry, you just need to help protect the fields, don't worry about other little things."

"Then please leave it to my sister-in-law!" He Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Master Tai and the young and old men in the village had arrived.

Seeing that He Xiong had brought so many people over to help, Mr. Tai was so happy. The bubbles on his mouth could finally go away, and he could close his eyes and sleep well at night.

Otherwise, if there is any trouble, his head will be beating non-stop!

"Welcome, welcome! Mr. He Qian came just in time. Our whole village depends on you for the year's harvest!"

"You're welcome, Third Uncle. This is what we should do!" He Xiong followed Tai Jizu and others in calling him Third Uncle, making Third Master Tai smile.

At this time, Tai Jiye and Tai Yongan came back from the city.

The family's new fleet has been set up, with more than 30 carriages available for use at any time, which is extremely convenient.

When they got up early in the morning, the uncle and nephew brought money into the city and bought back five cartloads of rice, flour, grain and oil. Unexpectedly, they found the border guards arriving as soon as they entered the village.

"Oh, Brother He, you came so fast!" Tai Jiye greeted He Xiong, then patted the bags on the car and said, "I thought it would take you two or three days to come over, and you only bought food. Wait a minute, I will send someone to fetch the pork that has been ordered, and I will give you a good reception."

After that, he shouted, and someone drove the new carriage back to the city.

He Xiong opened his mouth to stop him. There were more than 200 people. How much would it cost to eat meat?
It's a simple meal, as long as everyone is full, it's already pretty good!

Unfortunately, Tai Yongan had already jumped into the crowd, shouting loudly, "Oh, Brother Gao, bastard, Daya! Why are you all here!"

It turned out that in the tent where Yongan lived, all the brothers came to work with He Xiong!Several people also surrounded Yongan and laughed happily. One person patted him and the other knocked him on the head. They were very close to him.

“You brat, you’ve come home to enjoy the blessings, so of course we’ll take advantage of it too!”

"That's right, I've been hearing you brag about how much food you eat at home all day long, so let's try it too!"

"Boy, my brother will mess with you from now on!"

Seeing this, Mr. Tai quickly called his grandson.

"Yong'an, if you are familiar with these brothers, just take them to arrange a house to settle in! If there is anything missing, please come back and tell me immediately. Arrange it before dawn, so as not to delay the brothers' rest at night."

"Got it, grandpa!" Tai Yong'an responded loudly, and then shouted to the soldiers to follow him.

Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang have already been busy. In the past few days, they have sewn hundreds of coarse cloth bags and filled them with sorghum shells to serve as pillows.

Fortunately, the temperature is high in summer, so there is no need to prepare bedding, so I just sleep on the big kang with my clothes on.

But Yang Lihua just took a closer look. The soldiers' shoes may have been worn for a long time and were very worn. Some of the soldiers' big toes were looking at the sky.

She thought about going to the city to buy some coarse cloth and asking the old and young women in the village to help sew a hundred pairs of shoes and socks...

Liu Dongniang was so busy that she wished she could grow eight hands.

Three meals a day for more than 200 people, and even an extra meal in the middle of the night, is definitely a big project.

Fortunately, the people in the village were united and the women were diligent. She called her third aunt to discuss it together, and soon arranged errands for the old and young women.

There are ten people in a class, exactly 40 people, each responsible for a meal, so they can take care of the household chores without being too tired.

And each family also knew that He Xiong and others were here to protect the village's food, so they were naturally grateful and happy.

Without Liu Dongniang's intervention, every family picked vegetables from the yard and sent them over.

Liu Dongniang looked at the piles of vegetables and felt worried, so she asked Tai Yongyue to take charge of accounting. Tai Yonglu and Chen Ruiyang formed a small team with the naughty boys in the village.

From now on, the meal menu is made one day in advance and posted in the hut. If there is any shortage of vegetables, the small team will go to the village to collect the vegetables from door to door. This ensures that there is no waste, no accumulation, and fresh food!

The women and children were all busy, and the men couldn't be lazy. Not only did they follow the patrol, but they also had to help take care of the army's horses, herding them, drinking water, and cleaning the stables. There was work everywhere, and there was no time to spare!

In short, due to the arrival of [-] border guards, the entire Taijia Village became a machine and became busy in an orderly manner.

Such commotion in Taijiacun could not be hidden from Liujiacun and Zhangjiacun.

The village chiefs of the two villages came to visit at dusk, but they were pulled together by Master Tai and fooled.

When the two of them walked back through the night, their legs were as weak as noodles. It turned out that so many thieves were already targeting the corn fields in the village.

Fortunately, Mr. Tai hooked up with the border guards and found a safe buyer and backer for everyone. Otherwise, the powerful people might have asked them to kneel down and give away the corn with both hands. Not to mention the high price, they might not get a penny.

When the time comes, the whole family will have nothing to eat and nothing to look forward to. It’s been a year of hard work in vain! (End of chapter)
