In another month, I will have some drought-resistant, high-yield seeds for you.
"As for how to cultivate the land, you'll have to listen to my older brother!"
Chi Dongyi and the two clan elders, who were initially unsure of themselves, suddenly felt much more confident after hearing Chi Yu's words.
Yes, because of the fish in the pond, life in Chijia'ao is better than that of people in other places, no matter how difficult it is.
Even if they couldn't afford the food that Chi Yu brought back, they had stockpiled food beforehand.
In addition to planting some vegetables and digging up some wild vegetables, there are also high-yield grains that can be cultivated later.
So what do they have to worry about?
If any family is so struggling that they can't make ends meet and are starving...
If each family in the clan contributes a little and helps out, they can eventually get through it.
That water is not easy to store.
If we use jars and pots, how many of these things do we need to buy, and how many do we need to stock up on?
Before Chi Dong and the others could sort things out, Chi Yu asked again:
"Uncle Clan Chief, I heard that if you cross those mountains in Beishan, you'll reach Wuning Prefecture?"
Chi Dongyi didn't know why he asked that, but nodded upon hearing it:
"Yes! That mountain is said to be called the Beilian Mountain Range."
When we hunt, we only dare to hunt on those two mountains outside.
I heard that mountain range is even larger than our Anping County, and it's home to many ferocious beasts.
Little fish, why are you asking this out of the blue?
Chi Yu didn't hide anything and immediately said, "The plague in Wuning Prefecture is very serious. I heard that many villages have been locked down."
I don't know the specifics.
But I heard from Amu that the three prefectures in our Jianzhou Prefecture reported to the imperial court that a total of 200,000 people had died.
Amu added that there was actually much more than that, but he didn't say exactly how much.
He then added that Wuning Prefecture was larger than Jianzhou Prefecture and had a population of several hundred thousand more, making it the prefecture most severely affected by the disaster among the three prefectures.
Currently, the situation there is that entry is permitted, but exit is not.
With the imperial edict issued by the current emperor, I think this matter is quite serious.
Anyone still alive over there certainly wouldn't want to stay put and wait to die.
Since the official roads are guarded by soldiers and officials, preventing people from leaving, I think they will find another way out.
The mountains over here are connected.
Even if the road is difficult and there are wild beasts, it is still a glimmer of hope for those in despair.
At this point, everyone could no longer sit still.
"Little Fish, do you mean that people from Wuning Prefecture will cross the Beilian Mountains and come to Anping County?"
"Wouldn't this place be very dangerous?"
"I'm not sure if that's the case, but I think there's a very high chance it will come."
Therefore, Uncle Chief, you need to arrange for people to patrol.
If there are people going into the mountains to hunt, tell them to be more careful.
Also, our wooden fence needs to be reinforced.
Chi Dongyi felt that there were many complicated matters to deal with, but they still had to take them seriously.
Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up and said, "Little Fish, I suppose you're all settled now?"
"Then I'll go back and discuss it, and then inform the clansmen about these matters."
“Alright! Uncle Chief, let’s not make a decision about the corvée labor so soon.”
Upon hearing this, Chi Dongyi looked at her thoughtfully for a while before nodding and leaving with the two clan elders.
After Chi Yu and the others left, Chi Yu looked at the old Chi family members and said:
"Ah Ye, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, you guys stay here, everyone else go and get busy!"
Although the younger generation, led by Chi Deng, were completely confused, they were busy with the construction of the house, so they all dispersed.
