Chapter 27: Calm
Nineteen bandits were captured, and after reporting to each other, they were shot four bandits whose hands were filled with the blood of the poor, and there were only fifteen bandits left, and after questioning, they were all nearby villagers who couldn't eat, and they were naturally willing to follow Liu He back to work as long-term workers.
Looking at this harvest, needless to say, guns and ammunition were found, and a few gold bars, hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, more than 100,000 catties of grain, more than a dozen horses and oxen, and carriages and oxcarts were found in the cave.
Liu He arranged to put the guns on the carriage, and even the silver dollars were also pulled, and some of the grain was also pulled, and then arranged for people to go to the village to quietly notify the villagers who had lost their grain to come to the mountains to transport the grain back, and most of the other people returned to the village.
At this time, the early winter had come, and Liu He began to organize everyone to start digging a cave, which was the main thing for Liu He, and the destruction of bandits was just to let everyone see blood, and there were no bandits nearby, and then there were hundreds of miles away.
The armed personnel organized by Liu Xiucai are also decently trained, at least now they can shoot, and they can hit the target at a distance of fifty meters, which is not bad, they have organized a total of thirty people, Liu Xiucai's son Liu Long serves as the captain of these thirty people, and naturally that rifle belongs to him.
But Liu Long's son was mixed with Liu He and others, and now the adults are digging caves, Zhang Zhen took the children to start hunting, Liu He is determined to train some personnel to become sharpshooters, especially in several bandits seized a lot of silver dollars, so that a large number of ammunition can be bought.
Let's talk about the matter of the cooperative group, because of the cooperation in farming together, and because some barren land has been improved to improve the soil, this year's grain production has increased unprecedentedly, all the team members are happy, the only reduction in output is Liu He, but Liu He has not reduced the yield much, in previous years, Li Laocai had to waste nearly 30 percent of the grain in the field, but this year Liu He's field has increased by nearly 20 percent, excluding the fields lent to those long-term workers, and sixty percent of the labor output value that has been distributed, Because he has the most livestock, so his labor output value is also a lot, so there is not much income compared to previous years, and the income from those weaving is purely Liu He's, especially when he bought those surplus mountains, so that there are more rattans, Uncle Li even sold these baskets and everything hundreds of miles away, and there was also an income of dozens of silver dollars this season.
There is also a 4,000 catties of grain in the public middle school, which was also purchased by Liu He, and it was put in the storage hole of the underground cave, which naturally only Zhang Zhen understands, this is for the purpose of making plans for his own invasion, even now Zhang Zhen is not very sure that he will invade, not to mention other villagers, naturally Liu He will not explain, but he is considered a loser by people, and the loser does not need to explain, naturally Liu He has also earned the reputation of a good person.
Digging a cave was originally a matter for everyone, but this is also Liu He's food to manage the rice, naturally a few women who cook also follow to eat, they don't need wages, do this, don't pay wages, Liu He has no pressure at all, this is for the benefit of the villagers.
But then there was no place to send the soil, and the other villagers in the village begged to come over, that is, to send the soil to the field, to improve the land for them, they can take care of a meal, why are they willing to do this, because they saw the harvest of the improved land in the cooperative group, and naturally they were tempted, how can this meal be exchanged for the increase in production in the coming year, how can it not be worth it, and the increase in yield of this improved land is not one or two percent, and the increase in yield can even reach 200 percent after the improvement of too poor land. Even the improved land did not need fertilizer for the first three years, which is really cost-effective.

"Little Ancestor, come and take a bite, hurry up, take a bite." Liu He suddenly found that a bad phenomenon began to appear in the village, some children would not eat once they had a bad meal, and parents would follow and ask their children to eat, which was not good, it would disturb Liu He's plan.
"What's the matter, I heard that you don't eat what you don't like now, right," Liu He organized his own team members and the parents of those children to have a meeting that day.
"This can't be done, in the future, you will have to eat chaff every three days, and you must have a smile on your face when you eat, otherwise I will let you leave the hunting team, and you will never have a chance to touch a gun again."
"Owner, don't be so strict, it's all better, who still eats bran." "It's better, it's only been a few days, besides, now the devil is in the northeast, if the devil comes, your food will be taken away by the devil, what you eat, you don't eat bran."
"Owner, really, what you said is true, the devils are back, they are the devils who want to eat people, what can I do." Liu He really accidentally leaked this sentence.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, although the devil is not a human, he is not a casual eater, and besides, we also have guns in our hands." "Ah, by the way, the owner has a gun, you must protect us then, please, please, little rabbit, go back and give me chaff, otherwise you won't eat in the future, just let the devil eat you."
I didn't expect Liu He's words, there is also a request, everyone goes back to eat a meal of bran for three days, and even some people specially grind the bran and come back to eat, Liu He heard that even Liu Xiucai wants to eat like this, according to legend, the person who eats the chaff, the devil will not eat him when he comes, because there is a smell of bran on his body.
"Haha, host, this bran is so delicious, do you want to eat some." Sure enough, everyone still had a smile on their faces when they ate the bran, which looked more fragrant than eating meat, and Liu He was a little puzzled, is this bran really delicious, so he really scooped a bowl too, "Ah, bah, what is this." "This is really bran, it is made of peanut seedlings, sweet potato seedlings, and some weeds, which naturally has no good taste, and it is even more unpalatable than eating grass directly.
This is the power of Liu He's intimidation, adults are afraid that the devil will come to eat people, and children are afraid that Liu He will not let them shoot and hunt, you must know that hunting will have a meal of meat from time to time.
