Chapter 262 There are differences among the gangsters
As soon as Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, everyone sitting around the fire fell silent.
Even though Peng Tianhe is also a pirate, he is very different from those sea pirates.
Although he also killed people, he had a bottom line and only killed those who did not cooperate. In most cases, he did it for money and to save his life.
But pirates kill without blinking an eye, otherwise they would not do such things as killing people and slaughtering villages that would be punished by God.
Yan Shilei looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "There is a village near Yuncheng."
That was also the farm farthest from Dongchuan. If something happened in Yuncheng now, he was afraid that the farm would also be lost.
"Don't worry about it yet, we'll go over and take a look when the time comes."
As Zhou Yunshu spoke, she thought of the people who had left the manors earlier after the incident at Black Water Village ended, and asked, "Starting from the nearest manor, those who have just returned can rest in the manor, and those who were originally guarding the manor can be pulled out and follow us all the way to Yuncheng."
The previous Black Water Village was a training session, and this time is also one.
Yan Shilei nodded. There were already quite a few people left in each village. After training back and forth, if any war really broke out, these people would come in handy.
Zhou Yunshu slept soundly that night.
If it were in the past, she would probably not be able to sleep well after knowing such news, but now, perhaps because she had too many things weighing on her body and mind, Zhou Yunshu was able to sleep well.
Maybe this is what the saying means: if there are too many lice, you don't have to worry about them biting you.
The next morning, Cui Hongbo used silver to buy thirty pancakes from Zhou Yunshu, and they continued to travel quickly. Zhou Yunshu's caravan continued on their journey only after eating and drinking enough.
By the time they arrived at the nearest farm, it was three days later. At this time, the subordinates who had left earlier had already returned to the farm for five or six days.
Everyone in the village knew Yan Shilei, and those who had just returned from Dongchuan knew Zhou Yunshu and Cen Miaoying. Only the other people in the village were a little nervous when they were brought by Yan Shilei to see Zhou Yunshu.
Is this really their future master?
But his body seemed not as strong as Yan Shilei's.
Zhou Yunshu did not bother to convince the people in Zhuangzi of their doubts about her.
There were several more farms to visit next, and she didn't have the time to explain them one by one.
All they need to know is that their bonds are with them, and if they are told to go north, they cannot go south.
While Cen Miaofu and the women from the farm were packing the luggage for Zhou Yunshu and her group, Zhou Yunshu took Wu Gui, Chu San and others for a stroll on the farm.
"The crops here don't grow as well as in Dongchuan."
Zhou Yunshu stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the rice seedlings in the field which were almost shorter than those in Dongchuan, and said to the old farmer that Yan Shilei had found.
"Master, we planted the rice late, so it's good to see it grow like this now." The old farmer pointed to the uneven rice in the field and continued, "There are still many of them that have been replanted. If God is kind, this year will also be a good harvest."
Zhou Yunshu didn't know much about farming, but when she saw that some of the men who followed her knew how to farm nodded, she believed what the old farmer said.
"Don't sell the crops on the farm." Zhou Yunshu pointed to the empty space next to the rice paddies and said, "Reclaim the vacant land over there and plant sweet potatoes."
What Cui Hongbo said before had always made Zhou Yunshu feel uneasy. Not only did she want to keep all the food on the farm in her hands, but she would also buy food whenever she had the chance during this period.
"good!"
The old farmer had told the people in the village not to waste the land before, but because he was old, few young people in the village were willing to listen to him.
Now that the master has spoken, he doesn't believe that he can't order them around.
Zhou Yunshu and the people around her walked from beginning to end of the farm. The name of the farm was Qishui Farm, covering an area of about 160 mu, including 100 mu of paddy fields, 30 mu of dry land, and the rest were houses and livestock sheds scattered around the farm. Many fruit trees were also planted by the people living in the farm.
The head of this village is the nephew of the old farmer mentioned earlier. His name is Wan Dahe and he is 37 years old this year.
This man was not an eloquent person, but because three-fifths of the people in Zhuangzi were surnamed Wan, he was of a higher generation and had more authority among them, so he naturally became the head of the village.
Zhou Yunshu let him stay with her for a day and she almost understood his personality.
She was not satisfied with this village head.
Because he had not taken the lead in completing several things that he had asked Zhuangzi to do before.
For example, Zhou Yunshu once said that every village should have a school.
Qishui Village did have a school, but there were no students or teachers in the school, only three or four little black pigs.
When Wan Dahai saw Zhou Yunshu standing in front of the "school" with no expression and no words, he felt very nervous.
"Master, it's not that we don't want to open the school, it's just that we can't find a teacher."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the empty classroom in silence, while Wu Gui frowned and looked at Wan Dahe, "Didn't I give you money to find the teacher?"
"The teacher hasn't been found, the school hasn't opened, and where's the money?"
Wan Dahe pursed his dry, chapped lips, carefully observing Zhou Yunshu's expression and saying, "It rained heavily for several days in a row a while ago, and many crops died. We used all the money we earned to buy seedlings and grain."
"ha!"
Zhou Yunshu couldn't help but sneer.
She never imagined that the excuse she had come up with to deal with the government together with Wang Shuitian would one day be used by her own subordinates to fool her.
Now look, these seemingly simple and honest people are actually quite clever.
When Wan Dahai heard Zhou Yunshu's sneer, he couldn't help but freeze.
Zhou Yunshu turned and looked at Wan Dahe, "I'll give you another chance."
Wan Dahe lowered his head and brows, thinking that Zhou Yunshu knew nothing about the affairs of the fields. He gritted his teeth again and said, "You are the real master. The deeds of our whole family are in your hands. How dare I lie to you?"
Peng Tianhe couldn't help kicking Wan Dahe when he saw his expression, "You take us for fools!"
"Mr. Zhou has never farmed before, but neither have we!" Peng Tianhe spat at Wan Dahe and said, "Damn it, how dare you, such a sneaky guy, show yourself in front of us."
"Sir, why keep this guy around? Just sell him off to do the hard labor of digging ditches. Let this old man die of exhaustion!"
As soon as Peng Tianhe said this, Wan Dahai, who was originally stubborn, immediately knelt on the ground.
"Master, spare my life!"
"We really didn't embezzle the money. It's really not our fault!"
Zhou Yunshu was so angry that she laughed at Wan Dahai's words.
"So you're saying it's my fault?"
