"I still have some grain in my field, and in exchange you will mortgage the land to me, and half of next year's summer grain will belong to me."

After thinking about it, it is better to take their land into their own hands and plant it, it is more reassuring that when standing on the steps, Lu Xiaowan can feel that the cold on her body has increased a lot, Lu Dayou and Lu Zhang don't know why.

"Summer grain? What do you mean, what do we eat without land? ”

An eldest lady listened to Lu Xiaowan's words and cried, holding the child and not knowing what to do, there was still a little cold light in the eyes of the rest of the people, in short, no one was willing to give away the land.

The same is true of Yetian, after standing aside and calming down, he made the final account, thinking that if the land is exchanged, there will be hope to go out, so he went back to the house and brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"I'm talking about summer grain, divide half of it with me, and half of the grain produced before next summer will be mine, and now these lands need to be cultivated, and in exchange, I will give you food."

The meaning of the words, the big guys all understood, knowing that the girl in front of them wanted to save their lives, and naturally they were much more polite when they said angrily, and a few of the older people, after asking carefully, felt a little relieved.

"Half is half, if we can survive the winter, we will admit that you let us dig the river, let alone do farm work."

When the people below heard this, they didn't dare to say anything to Lu Xiaowan, but they quietly discussed it with their children, knowing that now they had no other choice than planting grain and cooperating with Lu Xiaowan, and they all expressed their agreement.

"Uncles, it's not easy for my family, otherwise I won't make it difficult for you, this winter you grow good food, and I can keep you afloat."

Lu Xiaowan took the pen and ink, wrote down what she said one by one, and handed it to Yetian to read it.

"Xiaowan, when will the food arrive, I am very hungry, if we don't have to eat, we may not be able to get up tomorrow morning."

The person who spoke was a scoundrel in the village, and with a shrewd look in his eyes, it was difficult not to doubt his motives, but it was good that some people in the village had some idea in their hearts through his words.

"Food also needs to be bought, now the price of food is so high, I also have to go outside to take a look, and please wait for a few days, I believe that my uncle should still have some surplus food in his hands, please forgive me for a few days, tomorrow at noon my eldest brother will prepare a meal, as long as you come, you can get food."

Seeing that Lu Xiaowan made this decision, Yetian admired it in his heart, and it would be interesting to try to touch the back of the stone, and it was more about handling things well.

"If you don't give us food, how can I trust you."

"I'll give it to you, if you don't work, how can you do it, it's written in black and white, then admit it, don't try to do anything."

The scoundrel, who was already afraid, saw Lu Xiaowan angry, and the arrogance just now went down a lot, and the fear in his eyes betrayed all his thoughts, that is, there was fear in his words.

"I mean, you are keeping your promise and not swallowing up a few acres of my family's land."

The voice became smaller and smaller, so low that the people in the village couldn't hear it, and it was meaningless to surround them, and Lu Zhang's first time saw that the people in the village went back without speaking, sticking out his head and waiting for them to leave before coming out.

The gratitude in the eyes of the people in the village made Lu Dayou a little unbearable, after all, it was all Lu Xiaowan's credit, and now that they all came to see him, they didn't feel good in their hearts.

"Xiaowan, it was you who they should be thankful for just now, not me, and we have the food left to feed the people in a village, where is there enough, there are other people!"

After calculating the income from the fields, it is indeed not enough, but there is not much shortfall, as long as they are a little more careful, it is still easy to survive the winter.

After holding on for so long, the body was already sweaty, after the night wind blew, the coolness on the body was heavy, the carriage had already been prepared, and the night went to lead the horse behind, leaving Lu Dayou and his wife to accompany Lu Xiaowan.

"Big brother, don't think so, food always has to be lent out, and now the displaced people outside are being driven everywhere by the government, if the villagers leave, we will not be safe, so I am not only helping them, but also helping our family."

Looking at Lu Dayou's awkward appearance, and Lu Zhang's standing on the side happily, he also knew that there seemed to be some financial resources in the family now.

"It's not this, it's not enough food, I've calculated it many times, if I lend it all, there will definitely be no way to feed it all."

Lu Dayou squatted on the ground anxiously, counting over and over how much food was still in the town, and the coat on his body slipped off a lot, and Lu Zhang hurriedly put it on for him.

It is not difficult to solve the problem of food, but after so many seeds have been transported back, Zhengjia Village will not be able to consume it, and it still needs the people of Ningfu to take action.

"I'll solve the food matter, big brother, you have to believe me, otherwise there will be no way to deal with things in the future."

Now Lu Xiaowan just wants to talk about handling things well, and when the spring of next year comes, the wheat will come up and everything will be solved, and from then on, the Lu family's voice in this village will also increase.

"But this grain is not something that can be solved by anyone who can solve it, and now it is more difficult to sell up to buy grain than to buy gold, are you sure you can solve it?"

Lu Dayou has also tried to go out to buy food in the past few days, and he has been rejected every time he goes, and his heart has become a shadow, and the most important thing is that the city gate is closed now, if it weren't for Lu Xiaowan's good relationship with the government, I'm afraid that even the city gate would not be able to get out, and those homeless people outside are surrounding the city gate every day.

"I know what you said, big brother, but this is not what we should care about, what we have to do now is to buy food and send it out, and how do you know that I can't buy it?"

The grain that had been stored in the past is now just right, but the people in the village have not yet completely calmed down, and if the grain is taken out, I am afraid that something will happen.

"I also went out to buy food a few days ago, and those people said that they didn't have it, or they had their own food, and the price was still expensive, Xiaowan, or let's pay a little attention and tear up the things that were just pressed with handprints."

Lu Xiaowan sneered when she heard this, she didn't expect her eldest brother to do such a thing, but fortunately, the food in her hands was sufficient, and she didn't have to worry about the villagers not being able to feed her.

"Big brother, this is a trivial matter, I know it in my heart."

When I went out at night, it was full of moonlight, and all the crops in the field had been harvested, and the fields had been tidied up a lot.

"Yetian, if I can completely envelop the food in my own hands, what will it be like next year?"

No one knows the so-called grain at that time, even the night sky cannot guarantee that all the grain will be harvested next year, and the imperial court will inevitably intervene, even if it is those things, they can really grow in winter.

"It doesn't matter if you snubbed the food in your hands, and it will be a bad debt when the time comes, in this case, you might as well declare that these grains are your own black and white words from now on, even if the court can't deny it, but if you want to do something in secret, it's also extremely easy, so you want to completely control this batch of grain in your own hands, it's difficult to have no power or power."

Having said that, Lu Xiaowan doesn't think so, he also has some connections in his hands, if he saves this grain from the world, or sells it on the black market at a high price, it is also a good idea, that is, what he is thinking about now is how to save people, and next year this batch of grain will inevitably come in handy again, and it will be sent to the north or the south, which can solve the urgent need for a while.

"But if I give this grain to the imperial court, the officials of the imperial court will definitely thank me for it, and I can be regarded as accumulating virtue."

Hearing this, Yetian seemed to have never seen the person in front of him, and he had never given up the people around him for the sake of interests, of course, it was given to the imperial court, which was even more nonsense.

"That being said, are you really willing? If this grain is in your own hands, then no matter what happens next year, you can take it out to solve your urgent needs, if it is handed over to the imperial court, if the drought continues next year, the people in your village may not survive, after making these grain seeds can germinate in winter, but no one has ever said that it can live long without water. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaowan realized that the person in front of her was not only careful, but also knew himself very well, otherwise it would not be possible to be so sure, but with the rapid movement of the carriage, it seemed that dark clouds appeared in the distance.

"It's going to rain on this day, so we have to speed up and plant the food before the rain falls."

When I went back, my mother and two brothers at home had not yet slept, the lights were on, the food that was kept was also placed on the table, and the chicken soup simmering on the stove, the aroma emitted made Lu Xiaowan feel a strong warmth.

"Mother, if you don't sleep so late, is it because you're waiting for me to come back? If the weather is cold and I don't come back, wouldn't you be reluctant to sleep? ”

Qin Cuihua, who was behind the door curtain, walked out in a daze, poured some chicken soup with a bowl, and found a chicken leg and gave it to Lu Xiaowan in a bowl, the anxiety in her eyes, and her red eyes, made Lu Xiaowan feel a little distressed.

"Don't go back to the village privately, what if something happens, your eldest brother is still trapped in the village and can't get out."

Later, he said that he had some snacks, and he was going to take them out and give them to Lu Xiaowan together, "Mother, don't be busy, I don't want to eat so much, I don't have an upset stomach after eating so much at night, I went back today and made a deal with the people in the village, and next year they need to give us fifty percent of the food." ”

Qin Cuihua was startled when she heard that fifty percent of the grain was delivered, in his eyes, if most of the people in the village paid fifty percent of the grain, they would not be able to live.

"Girl, how did you get fifty percent of the food, we can't do this immoral thing!"
