No matter how many bugs there are, they cannot withstand the attack of so many people.
In just ten days, not even a locust egg could be seen in the surrounding farmlands.
These starving people are more terrifying than a swarm of locusts.
In order to fill their stomachs, many families, young and old, go out together to catch insects from morning to night.
Now the day has once again fallen into despair.
However, the autumn harvest signal for Yushudun has already sounded, and now is the time for a good harvest.
With so much food, no one would not be greedy.
Even the people in their own village were so greedy that if it weren't for the militia patrolling day and night, someone would have stolen the corn and taken it home to eat.
In order to ensure that the fruits of this bountiful harvest are not taken away by others, we must find a way to protect the food.
The last resort is to borrow Captain Zhou’s men.
As long as there are these people in the village, no evil spirits will dare to offend.
But this is not a long-term solution.
When the autumn harvest is safe, the grain will be handed over to the collective and then stored in the granary where it needs to be dried. During this process, accidents can easily happen.
Zhao Wei was surrounded on all sides and only started working after he had made all the preparations.
Once his whistle sounded, all the strong men in the village would start the hot and exciting work of harvesting.
The sun was high in the sky at this time. In order to prevent everyone from getting heatstroke, Zhao Wei paid out of his own pocket and asked Huangmao to drive to the county town to get a cart of popsicles.
Anyone who participates in labor can get one for free.
This is the most original white popsicle, which greatly soothes people's anxious mood in this hot summer.
For three consecutive days, the militia found nothing unusual and the autumn harvest went smoothly, as if Zhao Wei's previous worries were unnecessary.
Until this day, he saw several village captains and commune presidents coming together.
Among them, there were several people who had made a bet with him in the past, and they had vowed that the grain output of their village would definitely exceed that of their Yushudun.
It's really hilarious. Right now, these people's villages have completely lost all their crops, yet they still have the nerve to come to Yushu to stockpile food?
"Hey, you are such a rare guest. It's so hot, but you still come to my little village. You really bring honor to my humble abode!"
Zhao Wei said these polite words with a forced smile.
The people who made the bet were too embarrassed to look him in the eye. They just looked around, and kept sighing that the trees, flowers and plants in their village were not affected by the drought. How lucky they were.
"Tsk tsk... I didn't expect your village to have such a good feng shui. You have the mountains to rely on at your back and water to rely on at your side. No wonder you are the only one that stands out when the whole country is hit by a disaster, making others envious!"
"If our village could have this pattern, we wouldn't have to worry about not having enough food to eat!"
Zhao Wei interrupted them coldly: "Our ancestors chose a good place for us. This is where we will be reincarnated. We can't envy it even if we want to."
"Unlike in some places, I don't know if the people in power have done something that angered the heavens and the people, but they have made people so poor and destitute that they are almost extinct."
Zhao Wei's words made those people a little angry. They always felt that they were being implied, but they didn't know how to respond.
Otherwise, it would be as if they were bad people and were punished by God.
"Ahem..." It was at this time that one of the captains said earnestly, "Stop arguing. The current situation is not good. We should unite and tide over the difficulties together."
When this person said this, those who were originally dissatisfied with Zhao Wei and wanted to argue with him, all shut up obediently.
Although he couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do, Zhao Wei was smart enough not to respond.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
The person who was speaking had to take the initiative to break the atmosphere, and then continued: "It seems that everyone is having a hard time this year. In the spirit of humanity, I hope that Yushudun can give everyone some relief."
"As the saying goes, when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. This is the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors!"
Ha... they're still asking for relief. Their village hasn't completed last year's production target, and they're still suffering from famine. They can't even take care of themselves, so how can they care about anyone else?
"I personally think your proposal makes sense, but this is collective means of production, not something I own personally. I cannot have the final say on this alone."
"No matter what we do, we have to follow a process and come up with a result before executing it. Ladies and Gentlemen, do you think there is something wrong with what I said?"
Zhao Wei clearly wanted to delay time.
First calm these people down temporarily, then report to higher authorities layer by layer, hold a public meeting to study and discuss, and then let all villagers participate and vote to make a decision.
One by one, by the time the documents came down, the grain stored in Yushu had already been deposited into the national treasury.
When they were in the village, they could still dream of something, but they had already handed it over to the country. It would be inappropriate to think of such an idea again.
But they were unwilling to let it go like this, and they shamelessly stepped forward to coax Zhao Wei.
"President Zhao is young and promising. When the people above heard about your achievements, they all rushed to praise you."
"Who knows, you may be promoted soon. We should congratulate you in advance."
…
Zhao Wei sneered at this.
These people just want him to be promoted, move out of their positions, and then give this big piece of fat meat to these people to share as they please.
Anyway, when everything is not recorded in the accounts, it is very operational.
These people deserve to die.
For a little food, he had trouble with her several times.
First they wanted to get him out of office. Then they found out that he was quite capable and they couldn't find his weakness, so they wanted to get him promoted and get rid of him.
Ha...if he really let them succeed, the people in Yushudun would never be able to have a full meal even if they were guarding a bumper harvest of grain.
He hadn't even opened his mouth yet, but these people were already getting excited.
"Ahem... President Zhao, if you get promoted in the future, please remember to support us!"
"To celebrate your success, I think we should have a good celebration, President Zhao, what do you think?"
In the eyes of these people, rising higher in the officialdom is something that everyone dreams of.
At Zhao Wei's age, when he has already tasted power, there is no reason for him not to be happy.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wei would never know that he would be transferred to a dirty and messy department and be responsible for the sewage discharge problems of the entire county.
He will be responsible for human, animal and horse feces, urine, and various urban garbage and waste.
That's really, dirty, smelly and tiring, hehe...
