Several uncles immediately became interested, "Oh? Wu Niang, tell us about it."

"Relief grain must be distributed in winter, but not all of it. We can't let them starve to death, but we don't need to worry about filling them up either."

Wei Xiyin was referring to the food stamp policy of the previous life. At that time, supplies were extremely scarce, and food naturally could not be supplied freely. The government decided to implement a policy of unified purchase and sale of food.

The situation of the fort is similar in nature, so they can learn from it and make some changes to suit the current situation.

If the tribe does not have food coupons, wooden signs can be used instead.

"The tribe could try building a public kitchen," Wei Xiyin suggested. "It's not suitable to distribute food directly in winter. The tribe members need to use firewood to cook after receiving the food. Building a public kitchen can save both wood and food. Every household can use a wooden sign to eat at the public kitchen."

The so-called public kitchen is actually a large canteen.

"As for the common people, they can be given a small number of wooden tokens every month. With these tokens, they can receive a certain amount of food. The remaining wooden tokens can also be obtained by helping with labor."

Who says there is no work in winter? Now we need to build a public kitchen, so here comes the work.

The eyes of several uncles and aunts lit up, and after thinking about it, they felt that Wu Niang's idea was feasible.

Wood is a scarce commodity nowadays. Once the public kitchen is opened, the tribesmen don’t have to cook at home, which can save a lot of wood.

If any clan member is not used to eating in the public kitchen, he or she can eat at home, but Mingjingtang will not provide food. In this way, those families with surplus food can be distinguished and more food can be saved.

Wei Xiyin thought for a moment and added, "Although the clansmen are treated well, they also need to work hard."

Now half of the tribe’s food is brought back by her, so naturally she has a say.

She didn't want to use the food that the guards had earned with their lives to support a group of lazy and idle people.

Upon hearing this, Wei Mingze excitedly said, "That's a good idea!"

However, this matter concerns the livelihood of the entire clan, so the uncles and aunts have to ask the clan leader for instructions first.

Wei Xiyin said calmly, "Uncles, please choose a site to build a public kitchen first. Grandfather will definitely agree."

Building a public kitchen, making wooden signs, and setting the amount to be collected are all very large projects. In addition, it is snowing and the weather is getting colder, so some things must be arranged as soon as possible.

The location for building a public kitchen is easy to find. There is a square as big as the entrance of the ancestral hall, and the land is ready there.

Several uncles and aunts knew that there was no time to waste, so someone immediately went to find a bricklayer to survey the terrain, draw up a blueprint, and also to find materials to make the wooden sign.

The rest of the people who stayed in Mingjing Hall began to discuss the details.

Seeing that they were busy, Wei Xiyin said goodbye and left. As she reached the door, she almost bumped into Wei Li who came in hurriedly.

Wei Li quickly apologized to her.

Wei Xiyin asked curiously, "Cousin, why are you so anxious? What happened?..."

Before she could finish her words, Wei Li hurriedly said to the uncles inside, "Uncles, two scouts have arrived from the Yizhou granary. They are outside the fortress, asking to see the clan leader."

Wei Xiyin's expression changed slightly: "..."

Were their identities discovered while they were transporting grain, and the people in the granary came to question them?

Then Wei Xiyin immediately realized that this possibility was not high. Without solid evidence, even Governor Gong would not dare to offend the Qinghe Wei family easily.

What's more, monsters are rampant nowadays, so why would anyone be so stupid as to come here and complain?

If you want to file a complaint, you have to go to the court.

No one noticed her strangeness at all. Wei Mingze was shocked and asked hurriedly, "There are monsters everywhere outside. Why did they send scouts here?"

Wei Li shook his head. "Nephew doesn't know. The clan leader is recovering from illness. My grandfather just didn't see him, so he had to come to report to the uncles."

The clan leader had said before that he wanted Chang Ying and Qin Shan to teach them martial arts. After Wei Li heard the news from his grandfather, he took all his cousins ​​to visit the camp today.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the entrance of the camp, they ran into the guards on the lookout tower and people outside the fort shouting.

When he heard that it was someone from Yizhou granary, he hurried back to report the news.

As soon as Wei Li finished speaking, the guard who came to report arrived. Seeing the girl was also there, the guard hurriedly saluted her.

"Girl, the two commanders are looking for you."

Wei Xiyin's expression remained unchanged as she hurriedly said goodbye to her uncles and left. She had already guessed what Chang Ying and Qin Shan wanted to talk to her about; it was probably because of the people from the Yizhou granary.

On the way to the camp, Cheng Xiu was leading the two scouts to Mingjing Hall and happened to run into the girl halfway.

"Girl." Cheng Xiu bowed to her and kept winking at her.

Wei Xiyin hummed lightly, without even glancing at the two soldiers, and walked straight past them.

What is there to feel guilty about? Even if they are recognized, they will just deny it to death. Do you think those officers and soldiers dare to identify people in their territory?

If you have the guts, produce evidence.

The two officers and soldiers did not notice anything unusual and were in shock.

Everywhere you look in the fortress, there is peace. The houses are intact, the streets are neat and clean, and servants are sweeping the snow off the road with brooms.

Occasionally, I met a few members of the Wei family on the road. They were also wearing thick cotton clothes and had rosy complexions. It was obvious that they were living a good life.

All of this makes people feel as if they have returned to the time before the disaster.

The two officers and soldiers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the Qinghe Wei family was indeed a top-notch family with rich heritage.

Wei Zhongxun was chatting with Wei Ting in the blacksmith shop. The shop was very warm and more comfortable than staying at home.

Wei Ting is the only child left in the fifth family. As an elder, Wei Zhongxun would take time out from time to time to care about Wei Ting's recent situation.
