The whole village was excited.
In the past, they had eaten well enough relying on those little bits and pieces.
Now, after going through this, I didn’t expect that life would become so good.
Compared with those villages that suffered from famine, they are now in a blessed place.
Everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and began to prepare equipment for going up the mountain.
This concerns one's life and property, so there can be no ambiguity.
As for Zhao Wei, he has a lot to do.
All five of Erlaizi were called back.
These apprentices go to work every day and have never longed for freedom so much.
Now that he had this opportunity, he took out all of his normally reluctant days off and prepared to do something big with Zhao Wei.
What made Zhao Wei happy was that even the big brother Tiezhu came.
This man used to be in this area, and he was a big shot who could make people tremble with just a stomp of his feet.
But later on, all his career was stopped and disappeared.
No one knew that he had gone from being in the open to being in the dark and became Zhao Wei's best partner.
This time he came here because of his parents.
His home is not in Yushudun, but in the neighboring village.
But he usually hangs out in the small town, so he knows most of the people in the surrounding area.
This time I came to ask Zhao Wei for help.
His parents lived in a neighboring village, and their lives were very restricted.
Their family had money and food, but they dared not use them to enjoy them, for fear of provoking those vicious people to do something stupid.
When people are hungry, they have no rationality at all.
The old couple couldn't stay in that place any longer.
Therefore, Tiezhu wanted to move the old couple into Yushudun as soon as possible.
But now this is subject to household registration restrictions. Once two elderly people are accepted, land and foundation must be allocated to them regardless of whether they have production capacity or not.
This cannot be decided by Zhao Wei's family alone. It involves interests, and a village meeting must be held to solicit everyone's opinions.
He never expected that as soon as he proposed his idea of bringing people into the village at the meeting, the people below had already voted in agreement with a smile on their faces.
"President, just decide whatever you want, we have no objection!"
"That's right. No matter what decision the president makes, it's always for our own good. How can we be at a disadvantage?"
"No matter who comes, as long as you continue to manage us, we will support you wholeheartedly!"
"Haha... I even raised my feet. President, you can do whatever you want. We have made up our minds to follow you."
Is milk food?
Zhao Wei was made to laugh and cry by these villagers, so the questioning meeting quickly turned into an explanation meeting.
He simply told everyone about his detailed plan of going up the mountain to hunt.
The general meaning is that he can't possibly bring everyone up the mountain. After all, the environment in the mountains is complicated, and the elderly, the weak, women, the disabled and pregnant women would be a burden if they encounter danger.
Moreover, not all the strong laborers in the village can be withdrawn, and we must also prevent bad people from entering the village to cause damage.
Therefore, he will temporarily take some physical defenses for the village, such as setting up some traps.
Everyone should not move around easily in the restricted area he has drawn. They should wait until their people come down from the mountain before returning to normal.
As for what kind of mechanisms and traps he would set up in those restricted areas, only Erxiao and several militia captains knew.
The rest of the people will be kept in the dark.
After all, after being gone for several days, no one could guarantee that there might be traitors among the crowd who might make a noise.
The most coveted thing about Yushudun nowadays is not only the grain, but also the ancient grains.
Someone threw antiques into this well to hide them from the public, hoping to get away with it. After the storm has died down, they will resell these antiques abroad.
In China, these things are worthless. If someone finds out about them, they will report it to their superiors and ask them to hand it over.
But abroad, you can make a lot of money.
In the face of huge profits, people become extremely bold.
At present, these antiques have been dug out because the contents of the well were poisoned.
Zhao Wei did not keep any of it either. He handed it all over to Captain Zhou, who took it and sent it to the national treasury.
This action caused those people to suffer heavy losses. It would be strange if they were not retaliated against.
Zhao Wei stood in the middle of the threshing ground, looking at the villagers below who were ready to work. The scorching sun cast flickering shadows on his face. The sun was high in the sky, and the heat was almost killing people.
"Although the crops have been harvested, we can't sit idle. We have to go to the fields to work as usual. We will first plow the fields to remove the waste and then spread the ashes from the burned plants to fertilize the fields."
"Later, we will divert the river water into the fields, build up the soil and solidify the edges to make paddy fields."
"When I come back, I will lead everyone to continue sowing. We need to take advantage of this rare weather to maximize the value of the farmland."
…
After talking for a long time, he finally dismissed the villagers.
The second beggar squatted on the ground and scratched the ground with the tip of the knife, leaving crooked marks on the route up the mountain.
"Master, come and see, are we going to the Black Wind Pass or the Wild Boar Forest this time? Last time we ran into that pack of wolf cubs in the Wild Boar Forest, they were terrifying."
"Walk in the wild boar forest."
Zhao Wei said in a low voice, "The Black Wind Passage is somewhat weathered. If you go in in this weather, you may easily step into a hidden pit."
He paused and glanced at the iron pillar standing upright in the crowd.
"Brother Tiezhu, if you are willing, come with us into the mountains and come and listen together!"
Tiezhu has no other hobbies except eating wild animal meat.
So he came forward happily. After a long while, Zhao Wei said to him, "How about this, we will set off tomorrow. You go home now, pick up the old man first, and place him in the educated youth compound."
With the accident of Liu Xiaoyu and Liu Zhiqing, two of the five thatched houses in that place were empty, which made it quite suitable to settle their family in.
Anyway, he is the one who has the final say in Yushudun now, and everyone supports his work.
So, I think their family should be able to set up camp with peace of mind.
Tiezhu nodded, his fingers unconsciously stroking the shiny cowhide scabbard at his waist - it was an item from his time as a "big shot", an antique.
It is now hidden in a cloth bag, with only a little bit of the bronze scabbard visible.
He moved closer to Zhao Wei and lowered his voice: "Brother Wei, I respect you. A good sword goes with a good man. Please accept this no matter what."
"Hiss... this is a bit expensive, isn't it inappropriate?"
