Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 170 Give the village a gate

"So, we have to catch all the fish in the river before Xiaohe Village reacts...

It is not easy for birds to find food when it snows, so the children take advantage of this time to hunt birds.

The women went up to the mountains to look for wild vegetables, and the vegetables in the field should be harvested as soon as possible, so as not to rot in the field..."

"Village chief, if you go fishing this day, you will freeze to death." Someone raised an objection.

Yin Gui said with a cold face, "I will buy fishing nets when I go to the city soon, and the money will come from the village bank!"

Everyone fell silent, so they didn't need to go into the water with the fishing net.

"Also, don't take Lao Tzu's words seriously this time. Some people think that they have some food at home, so they give it up. When they run out of food, I'll see who you turn to to borrow food.

Ten miles and eight villages are short of food.

Don't think that there will be food sold in the county in a few days, and you have to plan for the worst.

Let me tell you again, no matter when, the most important thing on hand is to have surplus food!

Leftovers!

Remember it all for me! "

Yin Gui has a bad temper, but the villagers didn't dare to say anything after being scolded by him. Why did they sell their grain when they were disobedient?

"Hurry up and leave, what should I do, in a few days, no matter how heavy the snow is, be careful that we won't have to dig wild vegetables!" Yin Gui waved his hands irritably.

The villagers hurriedly dispersed.

"father."

"Tao'er, why are you here? It's snowing." Yin Gui hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Yin Tao smiled: "I'm holding an umbrella, it doesn't get in the way."

After finishing speaking, she walked under the locust tree, looked around and said to Yin Gui: "Father, it's better to build a wall and a gate in the village..."

Huaishu Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so the amount of work done is actually not too big.

"Build a wall?" Yin Gui hesitated.

Yin Tao nodded: "Well, build a fence to prevent problems before it happens, before it's too late to fix it.

It would be great if the imperial court could organize the timely delivery of food to Antu County and sell it to the common people at a fair price.

Dad, our family has tens of thousands of catties of grain! "

People from all over the world are hungry, but your family has food... that is a great sin.

In case someone finds out, it is inevitable to come and grab it.

"Well, let's fix it!" Yin Gui nodded. "I'm going to find the village elders!"

Yin Tao stopped him: "Father, you can't just say that the gate was built to guard against bandits."

Yin Gui stamped his feet: "What should I do if Tao'er sees my father?"

Yin Tao said: "Tell the village elders that food will definitely be expensive in the future, and I am afraid that the villagers will not be able to afford it, so I want to allocate some money from the village bank to subsidize them.

But, I was afraid that they would not care if they got easy money, so I simply built a wall and a gate at the entrance of the village... find some work for them..."

"This method is good!" Yin Gui praised: "As expected of my daughter!"

The girl is smart, so proud to be a father!

Hey!
Yin Gui and Yin Tao discussed the details while walking, and when they got home, they handed over to Da Jiang the matter of going to the city to find the caravan to inquire about the news.

After calling all the village elders, Yin Gui first said that he wanted to find something for the villagers to earn money, so the village elders did not object.

Even if they think it is useless to build a wall around the village.

Later, Yin Tao gave them a blueprint, and everyone decided to repair it according to this blueprint: "...don't use bricks, gather the ready-made earth bricks in the village, and use stones for the rest, let the young and strong go to the river beach to pick up big stones Come on."

Yin Gui: "Go and dig some thorns and plant them around. If you want to do it, you can make it properly."

Villager A: "Why do you need to build a room at the door?"

Yin Gui: "It is necessary to find a job for the elderly with flexible legs and feet. After repairing it, two elderly people will keep vigil every day, and one will keep watch at midnight."

The village elder Yi agreed: "Ah Gui, you are kind!"

Yin Guidao: "But the rules must be established first, since we have to do it, let's do it well, and we don't want to fool people.

If anyone comes to work for the village with the intention of fooling around, no matter how old or young, I, Yin Gui, will not be sympathetic! "

The village elders thought about it too, there is no rule, if things are relaxed this time, who will do their best in the future?

"The point is, we don't know what's going on with the food now. If there is really no food, our state capital may suffer from famine. Once there is a famine... the gates and walls we built will work.

So, since we're all doing it, why not make it the best it can be?
A few people who have tried their best to survive famine and war in their old lives, do you think our village will be full if we add a wall? "

Several people nodded one after another, but that's not it.

"Well, it should be like this." The village elders agreed one after another.

After the matter was settled, several people sat down to discuss the next charter.

"The snow is getting heavier as it goes on. Before the fishing nets are bought, let's start doing it today."

"Well, an hour of being able to do it is an hour."

"Okay! I'll call people."

Immediately speaking, all the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. Yin Gui announced the decision, and everyone was very happy.

Beware after so many days, this is the only good news.

"Before it's dark, half of the young and strong will dig the foundation, and half of the young and strong will cut down trees to make stakes." After Yin Gui announced, he began to assign tasks. Let Youyu and his children take the responsibility. I went to sit under the locust tree to register labor.

Several villages are always supervisors, and no one is allowed to grind foreign workers.

After Dajiang came back, it was completely dark.

Fortunately, it didn't snow.

Otherwise, the road is not easy to walk.

"How is it?" Dajiang poured a bowl of ginger syrup down, feeling like he was alive.

"There's no food in Fucheng!" Da Jiang said. "Now the food in the county has risen to [-] Wen a catty, the key is that we can't buy it yet."

"The government sent people to the county to take a lot of people away. Now people in the county are in a state of panic. By the way, the county magistrate temporarily takes over the government affairs of the yamen, but it is said that the county magistrate is acting on behalf of a crime." Da Jiang said again, the Gu family Bringing him a bowl of hot hand-rolled noodles, Dajiang took it and ate it, regardless of whether it was hot or not.

Yin Gui fell into deep thought.

Yin Tao is also in a bad mood.

Only Yin Fu was foolishly happy on the side, thinking that it was good to listen to what Niang and Taoer said, and the family stocked up more food.

Fifty cents a catty!
This is too scary!
"Food will increase again." Yin Tao quietly said, in the last days, no matter whether it is money or gold, silver and jewelry, it is dung.

Only food.

Food is priceless.

People are willing to pay any price for food.

"Dahe, let your daughter-in-law go back to her mother's house tomorrow, and tell her family that the food at home has to be covered, and it's best to save up for food from now on." Yin Gui said to Dahe, and Yin Fu said to Damu and Dalin: "You will also tell your daughter-in-law tomorrow."

The two brothers agreed, but Damu's face turned bitter, and Zhenniang simply ignored him now.

The next day, Dahei set up a car to send Mrs. Gu back to her natal home, and took along Dalin, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Deng alone. Mr. Damu wanted to follow, Mrs. Deng said flatly, "No need."

Damu looked sadly at the carriage going away.
