Wu Hao and Wu Hu sat cross-legged, and everyone didn't say much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qiang Ming looked at it with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and looked at the white waves and water kou: "Where is Zou Qing?"

"Subordinates are in". A thin young man with a hint of sadness in his eyes. Hearing Qiang Ming call his name, he replied respectfully. There is an elegant wind in his demeanor, and he stands out among the many five big and three thick water cowards, and it is hard to believe why such a person would become a water coward.

Qiang Ming looked at Zou Qing and didn't ask immediately, but moved his gaze to the many white waves and water thieves: "Everything is over, except for Zou Qing, the rest of the people are scattered."

"Obey the orders of the great masters". Everyone bowed, and then rushed out.

After seeing everyone leave, Qiang Ming, Qiang Zhen and others looked at Zou Qing: "You are in charge of wealth in the village, you know how much food there is now."

"There are still 800 hundred." Wrinkled Qing retracted the sadness in his eyes, and thought for a moment to reply to Qiangming.

Qiang Zhen seemed to think of something, and her brows gradually rose: "I just counted it roughly, there are more than 400 people in the village, and these 800 grains can only be managed for two months at most."

"Two months?". Zou Qing shook his head slightly and explained to them: "It's not two months, it's a month." Otherwise, Bai Lang would not have rushed to grab Wu's grain."

"A month?". Qiang Ming and Qiang Zhen glanced at each other, and they all showed disbelief in their eyes.

Wu Hao also looked puzzled: "As far as I know, if a piece of grain is saved, it is enough for one person to eat for a month." But why is it that 800 Hu supplies 400 people, but can only eat for a month?"

"It is true that there are only 400 young people in the village, but they can ......." There was a slight pause as he said this.

looked around at the four of them, and sighed softly: "You come with me, you will know at a glance."

"Please". Wu Hao was slightly stunned, and when he saw the wrinkled expression, he knew that something must be something, so he followed him outside.

Zou Qing took the four of them out of the water village and stepped on the shore of Chaohu Lake, and walked into a place with seven turns and eight turns. Dense thatched huts, countless old people, women and children strolling leisurely: "A few years ago, the yellow scarves were raging, and I passed by Chaohu Lake and encountered an attack by water bandits, but I was rescued by Brother Bai Lang. I had planned to go back directly, but I didn't want to see him feel so much in the face of these old and weak women and children, so I stayed and proposed to him to open up this village in a secret place. One is to accommodate the old and weak, women and children, and the other is to allow the brothers' families to settle here. After all, Chaohu Lake is well-known for its fertile soil and water, and it is also possible to support a small family by farming steadily."

"No wonder ......". Wu Hao looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt that he might have done something wrong.

At this time, several children ran over quickly, circling around Zou Qing, and the sound of chirping spread.

"Uncle Zou".

"Is Uncle Bai Lang back?".

"You can't call Uncle Bai Lang, my mother said that she wants to call the big boss."

"However, the big boss is the water cowards who shout, Uncle Bai Lang and Uncle Zou Qing are not like the water cowards at all."

"Actually, I don't think there's anything bad about Shui Kou. For example, Uncle Bai Lang rarely robbed poor people, and other water cowards did not dare to bully us."

Zou Qing looked at the children chattering, and a rare smile flashed: "You go to the side to play, I still have something to talk about with these four uncles."

"Four uncles? Then we won't bother the uncles to discuss things." The children looked at each other, then quickly turned away.

Watching several children leave, Fu Qing explained to the four of them: "Over the years, many old people, women and children have been accommodated one after another, and now there are two hundred old people, one hundred and ten women, and eighty children. Among them, more than 100 brothers and women have established new families, and if the great masters can make their lives stable, they will be happy to serve their lives."

"Since you said that the fertile land is cultivated, what about the grain?" Wu Hu looked into the distance, saw that there was indeed a fertile field in front of him, and asked Zou Qing.

Zou Qing smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, just looked at Qiang Ming.

Qiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked him: "Could it be that those big ships and small boats are exchanged for grain?"

"If it wasn't exchanged for food, could it still be conjured out of thin air?" Wrinkles explained to Qiangming.

Wu Hao seemed to be aware of the problem, and asked wrinkled Qing: "Since there will be a crisis of insufficient food when buying a big ship, why do you want to buy it again?"

"The three masters don't know that the power of the evil whale water is better than day by day over the years, especially this year, the momentum is becoming more and more aggressive. He claimed that if we did not ask them to surrender at the end of this year, they would destroy us, so ......." When he said this, he paused and didn't speak.

Qiang Zhen heard the meaning of these words, took Zou Qing's words and said: "So when we came to vote, the big boss of Bai Lang poured out the grain and bought this big and small ship."

"This is also a helpless move." Zou Qing let out a sigh helplessly.

Wu Hao subconsciously asked Zou Qing: "The world is chaotic, how do you sell so much grain?" Besides, it takes time to build ships, so how can you change them so quickly?"

"The three masters can know the Zou family, a big family in Wancheng". Zou Qing slowly explained to Wu Hao.

Wu Hao was stunned for a long time before revealing a puzzled gaze: "You mean Wancheng is a powerful family, the Zou family?" I heard that Wancheng Fu wanted to become a family, so he married his own pearl to an older military general in Liangzhou as his wife. It's a pity that the family is so simple, and it wasted that woman's good years."

"What the third master is talking about is my sister, and she is only twenty-two years old this year, and every time I think of it, it always makes people feel sad." Wrinkled Qing said to Wu Hao, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Wu Hu showed a suddenly realized expression: "In this way, these ships were exchanged by you for the Zou clan, a wealthy clan in Wancheng?"

"A few days ago, my family's fleet happened to pass by Chaohu Lake and brought a letter from my father. There is a message in the letter that the world is in turmoil and wants to sell these ships. The lord of the white waves consulted with me, so he exchanged the grain for these ships." Zou Qing explained to Wu Hu.

Looking at the wrinkles in front of him, Wu Hao couldn't help but show a little expectation. The sister in his mouth is the one in the history books, who doesn't know where she was born and the year and year. Twenty-two years old? So I'm eight or nine years older than myself.

Feeling Wu Hao's inexplicable gaze, Zou Qing was a little uncomfortable: "Do the three masters think that what they said below is wrong?"

"If Wancheng doesn't run the boat, what will he do." Wu Hao looked at Zou Qing and asked him.

Zou Qing replied without thinking: "Naturally, it is to buy land."

"At this time, Bai Langda is dead, I don't know what your plans are." Wu Hao thought of Fu Qing's identity and diverted the topic, and asked him.

Fu Qing was a little dazed by this sudden question, and shook his head after a while: "I am willing to degenerate into a water coward, and the people in my family have long been dissatisfied with this, I can't think of where else to go except to stay here." Besides, looking at the village in front of me, I was reluctant to leave."
