Chapter 279: Food Crisis

Chu Qingya asked Zhao San to roughly count the existing grain stocks in the village.

Indeed, it was found that the stock of grain in the village was not much, and there was still half a month before the grain harvest.

Chu Qingya thought about it and found that the best way was to build the defense of Taoyuan Village as soon as possible, and then get out the batch of grain that grew in the forest on this day, so that he was not afraid of those, and the people of Taiping Dao came to find trouble.

However, the affairs in the village were not up to him alone, so he brought Zhao San and others to discuss.

After getting Chu Qingya's notice, he took a few people in the village to Chu Qingya's residence in a hurry.

"Now you must know the difficulties in the village, and if you don't deal with it well, I'm afraid you will give your grandson another trouble. ”

"I don't know what kind of high opinion I am willing to listen to. ”

Several people nodded in agreement when they heard Zhao San say this, and a few who were still hesitating were stared at by their companions and lowered their heads to indicate that they had no opinions.

Chu Qingya was very helpless, he thought that he was obviously here to discuss countermeasures with these people, but these people let themselves have ideas.

"Let me ask you, there is enough food in the village to live on for a few days. ”

Hearing Chu Qingya ask this, Zhao San's face was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated and said, "According to my estimate, the number of people in the village is increasing now, and at most they can eat for three to five days." ”

Hearing Zhao San's answer like this, Chu Qingya couldn't help but sigh.

"In that case, why do you keep letting outsiders join the village, I don't know how to control it, do you know that the number of people in the village in the past half a month has more than doubled compared to before. ”

"Now you don't know, I didn't want them to continue to join, but these people are quite unreasonable, if you don't let them join, they will make trouble in the place where we grow food......"

Hearing that Chu Qingya was actually blaming Zhao San, one of the villagers was upset for Zhao San, but he didn't know that it was because of their attitude that those people were even more rampant.

Chu Qingya sighed with some hatred.

"Can't you organize some people to guard the farmland, and let those people destroy it? ”

When the villager heard Chu Qingya's words, he was quite embarrassed and said, "The new people in the village now don't listen to us at all, let them work and don't cooperate, and they know that they are wandering around the village." ”

"Tomorrow I will start training some villagers in the village with me, it seems that I will not only teach you how to farm, but also let you have the ability to survive. ”

"And drive those who are always troublemakers out of the village, and those who do not work tomorrow will have nothing to eat, and if they are making trouble, let them come to me. ”

After hearing Chu Qingya's words, several people behaved differently, and a few expressed concern about such a decision to leave their careers, for fear that those newcomers would have some conflicts with the villagers of their village, causing irreparable consequences.

Because the number of newcomers has far exceeded the original villagers of Taoyuan Village, and most of the newcomers are strong people, unlike Taoyuan Village, where there are only about 30% of young people.

Once there is a conflict between the two sides, the recruits and others are worried that the villagers of Taoyuan Village will suffer.

Therefore, they have been hesitant about what Chu Qingya said.

In fact, they didn't know that they had any worries since this year, because these days, Chu Qingya had been cultivating in the spare villagers of Taoyuan Village earlier, except for cultivating.

Although the cultivation has improved progress, the physique of the villagers of Taoyuan Village is still no match for those who often participate in battles.

Chu Qingya has also seen those new villagers, a few of them look strong, and they don't look like ordinary people at all, Chu Qingya is worried, those people are, but there is no evidence when they are too peaceful, so they can only observe silently.

According to Chu Qingya's current calculations, the villagers have opened up ten pieces of farmland for growing grain, and when they are harvested in ten days, they will probably be able to produce nearly 12,000 to 15,000 catties of grain.

This food is only enough for the villagers of Taoyuan Village to live for more than a month.

In other words, there is a huge shortage of food in Taoyuan Village, and if you want the villagers of Taoyuan Village to live in real peace, then you need more people to farm.

Seeing that Chu Qingya was silent, several villagers said to each other: "Sir, do you know something, the quality of these villagers is uneven, some are willing to participate in labor with our villagers, but there are also a few who are not willing to do anything. ”

Hearing the words of this villager, Chu Qingya's brows tightened, but he was summing up, since those people were so uninteresting, it was better to drive out those who were unwilling to participate in the work.

"Is there a way to get those who are new to Taoyuan Village to participate in planting with everyone. ”

"I am afraid that it is difficult for the newcomers to have a few thorns in them, and they are not willing to participate in labor at all. ”

"Then how do you treat those people now, and don't you feel resentful of the rest of them with others?"

While a few people were discussing things, Chu Qingya suddenly heard a noisy sound outside.

"Why, didn't I say don't make a lot of noise near where I live? ”

"Who are you, and you're here to me, get out of here. ”

Because Chu Qingya's appearance is no different from ordinary people.

When he doesn't show his strength, no one can see how powerful he is.

Seeing Chu Qingya and the others coming out, a villager immediately ran to him, and his side told him the whole story: "Sir, the village chief, these people are quite unreasonable and ask us to give them half of the planted fields. ”

Hearing this villager say this, Zhao San and the others didn't say anything, but Chu Qingya's face turned cold: "You guys want to forcibly occupy the fields of Taoyuan Village, I want to come to me to see what you have to do, so rampant." ”

"Who are you, what qualifications do you have to speak here, it's quite arrogant, if you don't pour out the fields, don't blame us for being unkind, and you need to bear the consequences when the time comes. ”

Chu Qingya heard the burly middle-aged man say this, and with a wave of his hand, he sent out a sword aura, and then knocked the man upside down and flew out, and the rest of the arrogant and domineering people were shocked when they saw it, and they didn't look back, and immediately ran outside the village.

Hearing a few people leaving, Chu Qingya did not stop him, but said to a few villagers who were watching the excitement around him: "If you don't want to cause trouble to Taoyuan Village, stop your own people." ”

Some villagers saw Chu Qingya's sudden attack and knocked down one of them, and before they could react, they saw that the rest of the people wanted to escape, and when they heard Chu Qingya's words, they immediately reacted, and they all surrounded the rest of the people with various farm tools in their hands.

The reason why Chu Qingya did this was to arouse the courage of the Taoyuan villagers.

If you want to survive in this troubled world, you must have the courage to take responsibility.

Otherwise, even if we create better living conditions for them, it will be in vain.
