"I suppose you don't know, Scholar Song, but the husband that our little Yu is going to marry works for the county magistrate."
Our county magistrate, I don't know if you know him, is said to be the eldest son of some marquis's family.
Our little fish husband's future is bright, as the saying goes.
When Song Chongjin first heard about it, he was reluctant, but he thought that if they could settle down here through the marriage alliance, it would be fine.
When he heard the other party's proposed compensation terms, he felt that everyone would be willing to accept them for the sake of the grain.
Upon hearing that there would soon be a workshop in Chijia'ao and that he could work there, he couldn't help but be tempted.
Having a stable source of income is much better than hunting.
Besides, they're not very good at hunting!
Therefore, when he heard about drought-resistant, high-yield crops, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
It seems that as long as you can get that crop to cultivate, it's okay even if you can't get into the workshop.
Many of the survivors in this group used to make a living by farming.
They probably prefer farming to hunting.
So when he heard that Chi Yu's fiancé was going to get married, he was by the side of the county magistrate.
And that county magistrate was the legitimate son of some marquis's family, his eyes flickered.
He was a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations and considered himself to be somewhat clever.
If I could gain the favor of the county magistrate and leverage his influence, wouldn't it be possible to use that influence to help my sister get revenge?
Among the ranks of duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron, the status of a marquis's household was far higher than that of an earl's household.
It is said that even noble families are divided into different ranks. How could a mere earl's mansion dare to stand up to a marquis's mansion?
After quickly considering these points, Song Chongjin immediately made a decision after the others finished speaking:
"From what you've said, I personally feel it's very good."
However, I need to consult everyone's opinions before I can give you a specific answer.
Anyway, you said yesterday that we could stay here for two days.
I'll go back later and give everyone my suggestions, then we'll see what they think.
If possible, I'll give you an answer tomorrow afternoon, is that alright?
As for why it was in the afternoon, it was because he was preparing to find an excuse, saying that it seemed some people in Chijia'ao did not agree to them living there.
However, he learned that the imperial court had issued an order for the people of Chijia'ao to go down the mountain to buy wives.
In addition, I've heard that workshops are being built in Chijia'ao, and that they can also get some high-yield crops.
In the spirit of keeping the benefits within the family, we encourage everyone to form marriage alliances.
Instead of having the people of Chijia'ao go down the mountain to buy wives, it would be better for everyone to cooperate.
In this way, they can not only settle down here, but also use the relatives' connections to bring back some high-yield crops to cultivate at home.
In short, this proposal should not have come from the people of Chijia'ao, but rather from his suggestion, and then everyone should make the decision.
That way, they will be more willing to comply and won't make unreasonable demands, thus preventing him from ruining his plans.
He still wants it, and everyone is grateful to him!
Completely unaware of Song Chongjin's thoughts, Chi Dongyi could tell from his expression that the matter was almost certainly going to succeed.
He immediately said, "Alright, if the men of Chijia'ao can really solve the current problem, then it won't be a problem for you to live here."
If a real drought occurs in the future, we will lend a hand.
By the way, we've received information that extreme heat and severe drought are coming, so you should prepare accordingly.
Song Chongjin, who had been thinking about how to get close to the county magistrate, was stunned when he heard this.
