Chapter 11 Why be so timid?

After daybreak, Liu Sheng asked Chen Sanpin to lead the way to the West Fen Ridge.

Last night, all the five leaders of the bandit village in Xifenling were gone, and only nine of the minions who were gone were able to escape.Although these people were very scared, no one left.

One is that they have grown wheat and sorghum around the West Fen Ridge. Although the harvest is not much, with some wild vegetables, grass roots and the like, it can barely guarantee that they will not starve to death this year.

If I leave, where can I find food outside?In the end, they can only become starving on the roadside like those refugees, and even the corpses are eaten.

Secondly, after all, there were so many of them, and subconsciously they didn't think that Liu Sheng and the others would take the initiative to come over.

But when Liu Sheng really came over, even if he was alone, none of these people dared to stand up and confront him.

Liu Sheng looked at the small village in Xifengling.

It's better to say it's a village than a small village, with only a dozen or so simple wooden houses with thatched roofs, and a half-person-high fence outside. It only encloses one or twenty acres of land. It might as well be a temporary one on the south slope of Fangshan Mountain. The village is atmospheric.

Then he looked around at the twenty or so people gathered in front of him, and felt very satisfied when he saw that all the young men had families.

Then he noticed that a short and thin woman holding a boy was looking at Chen Sanpin next to him with a worried face. Liu Sheng said, "Go and reunite with your family."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Chen Sanpin cried with joy, bowed his head and thanked him, and ran to hold his mother-in-law and son in his arms.

Liu Sheng then said in a loud voice: "I don't have to hold you accountable for following Ma Qi to attack my Liujiazhai, but from now on, you must follow me and obey my orders.

When I came here, I saw that the wheat around here was all ripe. I gave you two days to harvest the wheat. After harvesting, I took my belongings to my Liujiazhai. "

Liujiazhai is the name Liu Sheng gave to the village on the southern slope of Fangshan. It is low-key and has the characteristics of the times, and is not eye-catching at all.

Chen Sanpin and others were surprised and happy after hearing this.

Fortunately, Liu Sheng did not retaliate against them, but was willing to be their boss and protect them.What shocked them was that Liu Sheng asked them to leave the West Fen Ridge, seemingly trying to seize the dozens of acres of mountain land they had finally reclaimed.

In order to test Liu Sheng's thoughts, a long-faced man bravely asked: "Master, what will happen to these places after we leave?"

Liu Sheng said: "I will find others to plant these lands."

Hearing this, the long-faced man and several other men looked at each other, and they all saw distressed looks on each other's faces.

Although they went to Liujiazhai last night, they also knew that it was originally a barren mountain with no land at all, and it was difficult to cultivate much land.

By doing what Liu Sheng is doing now, isn't it clear that he wants to seize their dozens of acres of mountain land in the West Fenling?

Seeing that these people were silent and noticing their expressions, Liu Sheng frowned and said, "Why, you don't want to obey my orders now?"

Taking into account Liu Sheng's power and the presence of his wife last night, no one dared to resist even at this point.

The long-faced man took two steps forward, knelt down with a plop, and bowed in a tearful tone: "Please, good man, leave us a way to survive!"

Seeing this, the others also fell to their knees, even Chen Sanpin, who begged repeatedly: "Good man, please give me a way to survive!"

Liu Sheng frowned and said loudly: "Why don't I give you a way to survive? If I let you go to Liujiazhai, I will definitely take care of the food of your family and your children, and I will also give you better land to grow.

I am giving you a chance to live a good life, not forcing you to die! "

After hearing this, the 30 people finally fell silent.

Immediately, the long-faced man hesitated and asked: "Can you really take care of the food of people like us?"

Liu Sheng said: "I dare not say that I will feed you every meal, but before there is a harvest in the new land, you will definitely not starve to death!"

Although these people still have doubts in their hearts, Liu Sheng has said so. If they are still unwilling to follow, won't they force Liu Sheng to take action?

Thinking of the situation last night when Liu Sheng killed four heads of household in a row and then cast a strong light spell, no one among the ten families could resist. They exchanged words with each other and then prostrated together, "Thank you for taking me in!"

"You don't need to call me master, just like the people in Liujiazhai, call me boss."

···
It has been nearly half a month since Liu Sheng arrived at Tianmu Mountain, but not a drop of rain has fallen. Many streams in the mountains have dried up. The stream in front of the south slope of Fangshan Mountain that originally seemed to have plenty of water has almost bottomed out in recent days. .

This made Liu Sheng realize that the drought in the last years of Chongzhen was more terrible than he imagined.Here in Tianmu Mountain, no matter how hard we try, we probably won't be able to grow much food.

There is a lot of "food" in his room, and they are all kinds of good and nutritious goods for future generations.But these things cannot be replenished, so use a little and a little less.

Considering that historically this autumn, Li Zicheng will come out, sweep across the land of Henan, and recruit an army of millions of refugees.Liu Sheng felt that he must be more radical and make full use of the resources of the Space Gate and North America to develop and expand his power as soon as possible.

If it develops slowly due to being conservative, it may not be able to affect the general trend by then, and it may even be crushed by the general trend.

What's more, as far as the space door is concerned, he is unique - other people and animals must rely on him to pass through.

He also developed skills in later special forces.

So, why be so timid?
···
At noon, Liu Sheng returned to the south slope of Fangshan Mountain with the household registration booklets made for ten families in Xifengling.

After lunch, he summoned Liu Dachuan and others and said, "I plan to go to Maojiaji tomorrow morning to buy a batch of grain, recruit a group of people, and rush back before tomorrow night.

You have to guard your home for me - if you encounter someone you cannot defeat, run away to save your life and wait until I come back. "

Hearing this, Liu Dachuan felt that he had to give advice.

"My boss, it seems that the streams in the mountains are drying up now. Without water, we can't grow food. If we rely on buying food to support it, the more people we recruit, the greater the consumption. No matter how much money our boss has, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive." How long?"

Zou Runniang also spoke up: "Now the price of food is nearly ten times that of previous years. If the drought continues like this, Henan may not be able to harvest much food this year.

By then, even if you have money, you will not be able to buy food, and robbing may not be able to get enough food rations.Therefore, employers should think twice about recruiting people! "

Liu Sheng saw that the others also looked worried and hesitated to speak, so he said: "I understand everyone's concerns, but I have my own considerations when it comes to recruiting people. As I said before, as long as I, Liu Sheng, are here, In one day, everyone will not starve to death.”

At dawn the next day, Liu Sheng, who was well prepared, went to Xiaoli Village and rode a mule fostered by Li Fuchang's family, and headed to Maojiaji.

Although a mule is not a horse, it can travel faster than Liu Sheng can walk, so he arrived at Maojiaji more than an hour later.

The abnormal prosperity brought about by the refugee wave made the morning at Maojiaji even more lively than a dozen days ago.

There are more refugees fleeing, and their appearance is even more miserable.

Liu Sheng saw that some people fell to the ground and died without selling themselves.The body collection team organized by the rich households in the town did not arrive in time, so the body was snatched away by a group of men with red eyes and dragged to a small valley not far from the town.

There was smoke curling up from the cooking pots, and the vague smell was nauseating.

Liu Sheng frowned and looked at the various refugees. He changed his mind again and prepared to pick as many people as possible to leave.

Of course, for the sake of the stability of the foundation, he will not show his kindness indiscriminately.He definitely doesn't want those with red eyes.And try to pick someone with a family, someone with skills.

In the end, Liu Sheng selected a total of twenty households.

After agreeing to let these people go with him, he first bought a large pot of porridge from the town and distributed it to these people. Then he asked them to wait outside the town while he went to buy food.

When I went to the Shangliang Store in the town, I saw that the price of ready-made brown rice and gray noodles had increased from eight qian a dou a dozen days ago to three liang a dou!It has more than quadrupled and is twenty times the normal price of grain in the early years of Chongzhen!
----split line----

[At the end of this civilization, the grain measurement setting is: 1 stone = 10 buckets = 100 liters = 1000 liters. In particular, ordinary citizens generally buy grain by the liter, and grain stores generally price by the liter. 】

[Default setting of coins at the end of this civilization: 1000 Wen = 1 tael, 1 tael = 16 coins]

【Special Note! 】【The food prices here are special food prices in special places during special periods (affected by famine, and profiteers hoarding food to falsely raise food prices), not normal food prices. (Because a few readers have no idea and start complaining about the food prices here, I have to explain - if they think it is unreasonable, you can refer to the situation in the middle school textbook about the milk merchant who would rather dump the milk than sell it at a lower price).Don't think about troubled times and the end of the world with the thinking of us people in the peaceful age.The food prices in the article are not the author’s imagination, they are recorded in historical data. 】

[Data reference: The normal food price in most places during the middle and late Chongzhen period is 2 taels and [-] stone. 】

[Finally, if you see the price of grain later in the article and feel that the amount is too high to accept, such as dozens of taels per stone, please automatically convert it into how much it costs per liter or a bucket.One stone of grain is enough for a young man to eat for two months, so that he can eat enough every day. Ordinary people do not buy grain based on the stone calculation at all.The protagonist in the article buys in large quantities, so the price of food is calculated on a per-stone basis, making the price of food look frighteningly high. (Alas, I’m tired of explaining)]

[This is a free chapter, and there will not be such a long explanation in the text later. 】
