He calculated it carefully and felt it was a good deal.
Firstly, it can save food for the family in critical moments; secondly, it can provide information about the situation outside.
They took this opportunity to send away those who did not want to stay.
The original population of Xiechi'ao was over 800, but they had previously fought with the second group of people from Wuning Prefecture.
Ultimately, the population dwindled to just over seven hundred.
Of these 700-plus people, more than 100 were to leave and return to Wuning Prefecture.
The remaining six hundred-odd people officially settled here.
Unlike the people of Chijia'ao, most of these people who settled here had a household registration consisting of more than ten people.
They are basically families of a few people, with only a few having more than ten members.
Therefore, the number of people required to perform corvée labor was as high as ninety-odd.
By the time Song Chongjin finished tallying the money and collected the money from those who didn't want to go, it was already completely dark.
He was exempt from corvée labor, but as the village chief, he needed to lead everyone down the mountain tomorrow.
However, he was unfamiliar with the area, so after finishing his work, he went down the mountain in the dark to find Chi Dongyi.
Chi Dongyi is a warm-hearted person, and he has already classified Xiechi'ao as a sub-village of Chijia'ao.
After hearing why the other party was going down the mountain the next day, they brought him to Old Chi's house.
At that time, the old Chi family members, whose doors were tightly closed, were all in the space of Chi Yu.
Apart from Qin Mu, who stayed in the space to rest due to exhaustion, everyone else was harvesting potatoes and sweet potatoes.
When Chi Dong knocked on the door, Chi Yu looked at her older brothers and sisters-in-law beside her and said:
"Brother, there are people outside. Judging from their voices, it's the old clan chief. Shall we go out?"
Chi Dahu and the others didn't know why Chi Dongyi had come at this hour, but they still followed him out.
When Chen Xiaomai opened the door, Chi Dongyi glanced at her with the lantern in his hand.
"Third Brother's family, are your second brother and sister-in-law there?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaomai called out into the house, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, the clan chief is looking for you."
Huang Dani and Chi Erxiong had just entered the house and washed their faces.
Upon hearing this, he hurriedly came out.
Seeing that they were all covered in sweat, Chi Dong was a little puzzled as to why they hadn't washed up so late, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he said:
"Most of the people from Xiechi'ao, the second son's family, chose to perform corvée labor."
Scholar Song said that the statistics had been compiled, and that Lord Fang's previous instruction was for them to descend the mountain as soon as possible.
They want to go tomorrow, but they've never been before and don't know the way, so they need someone to guide them.
I plan to have Ah Kang lead the way.
However, he had only recently gotten married, and the incident happened rather suddenly.
I wanted to tell you all, and also let you tell A-Kang and his wife.
Logically speaking, Chi Kang is the successor to the patriarch of the Chi clan.
It's only natural to let him do this kind of thing.
Chi Dongyi came over to discuss it with Chi Erxiong and his wife first.
This was because Chi Kang had only been married for a short time.
Huang Dani thought it was something serious and called out into the house upon hearing this:
"Akang, come out here, the clan chief wants to see you."
At this moment, Chi Kang's mind was filled with the red characters on the walls of the cave.
The countdown days were no longer displayed; instead, there were numbers he could already understand.
My aunt said those numbers are Arabic numerals, a script from the celestial realm.
When they first went in, my aunt pointed to the number of words and said it was real-time outside Chijia'ao.
It's 36 degrees Celsius outside right now.
He didn't know what thirty-six represented. All he knew was that it was almost 9 PM, and it was still unbearably hot outside.
It's only the tenth day of the third lunar month, and the temperature is already so high.
What will happen when the countdown ends?
