The smell of rice came to the nostrils, and a villager who had just joined sat on the ground with gruel in his hand and enjoyed it.

Jia Nian walked slowly through the crowd, looking at their smiling faces, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Of course, if it weren't for the two rows of fierce and vicious elite water thieves, maybe the painting style would be more peaceful. As for Zhao Ergou, as early as half an hour ago, he held the three golds beautifully and rode a war horse to Baifan Water Village.

At this time, Jia Nian could still think of Zhao Ergou's chubby body and the way he galloped on a war horse. It's hard to imagine what a body shape that is stronger than Guo Da Fat is like on horseback.

The charm of money is vividly displayed in Zhao Ergou's body, although they are suspected of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but at least their credibility is nothing to say. Being able to find such a businessman and a trading partner in troubled times can also be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

Guo Dapang came over with a bowl of corn gruel, took a big sip of it, and then had a comfortable burp.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Jia Nian make a silent gesture at him, so he looked over suspiciously.

A group of children squatting together holding corn porridge. Tang Jiabao, Tang Daniu, Gu Difei and Sun Youlan are among them.

At first, these children rejected Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu, but due to the addition of Gu Difei and Sun Youlan later, they gradually integrated into their small circle.

Where did the sound of chirping come from, Jia Nian and Guo Dapang eliminated the surrounding noise and listened attentively.

"Is Baifan Water Village fun?"

"It's not fun at all, those uncles are so fierce"

"Where did you come to Chaohu?"

"Central Plains, listen to my mother, we came from Xuzhou, Central Plains"

"Where is Xuzhou and Xuzhou?"

"I don't know either"

"Why don't you know? Didn't you come from Xuzhou?"

"I heard that Xuzhou is far, far away"

"That means you've come a long, long way"

"Well, we've been gone for a long time."

"Is there fish in Xuzhou? You don't know how to fish."

"No, do you know how to fish?"

"Da Niu and I can fish, we'll teach you how to do it in the future."

"Really? If it's true, we'll pull the hook."

"Don't cheat if you hang yourself for a hundred years"

"Youlan, fishing is not fun"

"It's fun, but my father and mother won't let me go to the edge of Chaohu Lake."

"Why?"

"Oh, we're girls, how can we learn how they go fishing?"

"What exactly is fishing?"

"I can't tell, I'll know when you see it"

Listening to these chirping voices, Jia Nian and Guo Dapang both smiled knowingly.

Although there is no logic in what the children say, they have a pure heart. And this pure heart is precisely the place that touches people's hearts the most.

"Village chiefs" Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze walked over with three young men.

Jia Nian nodded at Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze, and then looked at the other three young men, and dense information appeared in front of him.

Name: Pengzheng Sun

Identity: Changhe Village, villager

Occupation 1: Farmer

Class 2: Hunter (can become a crossbowman after becoming a militia)

Class Level: Farmer Tier 1 Level 1, Hunter Tier 0 Tier 7

Skills: Clearing wasteland, intensive farming, shooting

Beetle Comments: Ordinary qualifications, given the hunter profession, it can be trained in the direction of crossbowmen.

Name: Gu Ziyun

Identity: Changhe Village, villager

Occupation 1: Farmer

Class 2: Hunter (can become a crossbowman after becoming a militia)

Class Level: Farmer Tier 1, Hunter Tier 0 Tier 5

Skills: Clearing wasteland, intensive farming, shooting

Beetle Comments: Ordinary qualifications, given the hunter profession, it can be trained in the direction of crossbowmen.

Name: Gu Chuanzhi

Identity: Changhe Village, villager

Occupation 1: Farmer

Class 2: Hunter (can become a crossbowman after becoming a militia)

Class Level: Farmer Tier 1 Level 1, Hunter Tier 0 Level 6

Skills: Clearing wasteland, intensive farming, shooting

Beetle Comments: Ordinary qualifications, given the hunter profession, it can be trained in the direction of crossbowmen.

Looking at this information, Jia Nian was slightly taken aback in his heart, he didn't expect that their hunter level was even higher than that of Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze at the beginning. Once registered as a militia, they can immediately become crossbowmen of the same rank as the Hunter. It seems that this time I made a lot of money.

"The corn porridge has already been distributed," Jia Nian asked them.

Sun Deqiu replied to Jia Nian: "It has been fully distributed, and a total of 2 Hu Hu of corn is consumed this time."

"2 Hu?" Jia Nian paused slightly, this number surprised him a little. I didn't expect that there was still one Hu left, and it seems that tomorrow can be over.

Hearing Jia Nian's reply, Gu Enze and the others tightened in their hearts, thinking that they had done something and went down one after another.

"They were all too hungry, so we took the initiative to adjust the concentration of corn porridge and used 2 Hu" Sun Deqiu said to Jia Nian, and then felt that this was a bit unreasonable, so he hurriedly added: "We are willing to hand over 1 Hu corn, which is considered compensation for the village."

"No" Jia Nian shook his head at them, and said with a huge amount of money in his hand: "Eating corn porridge is only temporary, you organize a group of people to go to Chaohu Lake tomorrow to buy 200 pieces of grain, and pile them in an empty tent for storage."

"200 grains?" The three people standing behind Sun Deqiu let out an exclamation at the same time.

Listening to the exclamations of the three of them, Jia Nian and Guo Dapang laughed very tacitly, this is the benefit of being wealthy. At the beginning, I bought 20 grains, and after adding the transportation costs, I spent a total of 5,400 yuan, which is 54 taels. Now buy 200 Hu, plus the shipping is 54,000 money, that is, 5 gold and 40 taels.

None of this is anything compared to the savings in the village. However, the visual shock of the villagers can greatly enhance their sense of belonging. After all, for refugee-born people, there is nothing more comforting than food.

"Let's all take a break, we've been busy these days," Jia Nian said to Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze.

Gu Enze, Sun Deqiu, and the three people standing behind them saluted Jia Nian again: "Yes"

Then he turned around and walked towards the place where the porridge was boiling.

Looking at their backs, Jia Nian's gaze looked around everyone. Seeing more than 200 people pressed by the black, I was greatly moved in my heart.

From now on, he is also the village chief with a population of 200, and from now on he is the village chief who deserves his name, although most of them are old and weak, women and children, but this is compared with Changhe Village, which is only ten people, I don't know how many times better.

"Big fat, we have finally crossed this step," Jia Nian said to Guo Dapang.

Guo Dapang sighed lightly: "I only know that I will be busy again from tomorrow"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw a great sense of satisfaction in each other's eyes. Accommodating 200 refugees may seem easy, but they are careful at every step.

Because they only have 20 people, they cannot afford to defeat in the face of a refugee group ten times larger than the entire Changhe Village. But in any case, they succeeded, and they stood on a higher step and ushered in a wide sky.
