Volume 1 Burning Chapter 112 Growing Grain
When bidding farewell to Qin Tianxin and Zhao Wu, Li Xiangfeng was also pulled aside by Zhao Wu and whispered in his ear for a while, mainly telling the story of Wang Dingbei and why he was brought here by himself.
After listening to Zhao Wu's story, Li Xiangfeng suddenly opened his mouth and figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that Zhao Wu and Wang Dingbei had known each other for a long time, and their private relationship was also good, and Zhao Wu repeatedly assured Li Xiangfeng that Wang Dingbei was an upright person and a person who could be entrusted with things.
Zhao Wu also said that when he returned to Nanyang City yesterday, he was stopped by Wang Dingbei outside the city gate, and Wang Dingbei informed him of his intentions, so that he would bring Wang Dingbei over today, and as for other trivial things, Li Xiangfeng also heard about it, and he didn't take it to heart, anyway, he wrote down that Wang Dingbei was a person who could throw the burden on.
In the evening, Yu Yan and Lei Tiancai came back in the afterglow of the sunset, Li Xiangfeng was unhappy in his eyes, these two were afraid that they had come here to play, and they didn't do their business all day, and after discussing the refugees' hunting last night, today they actually went for a day under the guise of checking the prey and hunting grounds, and they were really not as diligent as Gray Gary, who had always thought they were lazy. Gary was so tired that he lay down in a place to rest, don't look tired like a dog, but people still have a bright smile on their cheeks, and in the past two days, they have a good reputation among refugees, and they give them the honorific title "Smiling Buddha"!
Gray Gary is also comfortable accepting this nickname, and even smug, but there is another person who has also been given various honorific titles by the refugees, she is Tang Yun, who has suffered a lot these days, and still sticks to her heart in such a harsh environment, Li Xiangfeng also specially asked Wang Li to go to Nanyang City to buy tents and supplies for Tang Yun, which can be regarded as convenient for Tang Yun's work. Since the doctor from Nanyang City came, Tang Yun seemed to be even busier, and gradually organized a team among the refugees to treat the injured and sick.
A chicken in his left hand, a duck in his right hand, and a pig on horseback! Lei Tian drove the horse to Li Xiangfeng's eyes like this, but Yu Yan fortunately didn't care about his image like Lei Tian, but just tied the legs of a few pheasants and hares to both ends of the rope, put the rope on the horse's back and rode over.
Bang, bang, bang, bang,
This time, several women who were in charge of cooking had already run over, and when they saw the two of them running from a distance, they were elated, as if they were celebrating the New Year, and a kind of trot was not far from Li Xiangfeng's side, staring at the two handsome young men on horseback.
The women didn't listen to what Li Xiangfeng and the two handsome guys were talking about at all, and now their ears have lost their hearing, because the consciousness of the whole body has been transferred to their eyes.
I saw the chickens, ducks, rabbits, and pigs on the horse, and ran forward to carry them, four women grabbed a pig's trotters and carried the wild boar away, and the other wild boar was relatively large, looking nearly 180 kilograms, and the four women lifted it and then were pressed to the ground by the weight, waving their hands to their companions to carry it together, four people grabbed the pig's trotters, one person held the pig's tail tightly, and the other was a somewhat strong woman holding the pig's head with both hands, so six people carried the wild boar away, and the chickens, ducks and rabbits on the ground were also swept away by other women. After Lei Tian brought two wild boars last night to make everyone faint, although he only drank a mouthful of meat foam soup, this did not affect the image of Yu Yan and Lei Tian in the hearts of these women, and they were simply idols, and some women shouted to make a promise, but they were stopped by others.
Seeing this scene, Wang Lao, who rushed over, scolded loudly, and was stopped by Li Xiangfeng's kind words, so let's improve the food, after all, the days here are too poor, and this is also what Yu Yan and Lei Tian did for everyone to go to explore the hunting ground.
After dinner, Li Xiangfeng, Wang Dingbei, Gongsun Jin, Wang Lao, Wang Li and a dozen other people in charge began the meeting, the place was not as before, in an open-air place several people sat together even if the meeting began, this time in a simple wooden shed, this wooden shed was specially set up today Gongsun Jin was specially urgent.
Even if you sing, you have to have a grass stage, they sit together, it does look a little shabby, it's not like that, this has been talked about by Zhao Wu several times, and Qin Tianxin has laughed at it several times, and today I just had the opportunity, so I hastily built such a wooden shed, of course, there is a table and a few stools.
Today, it is nothing more than handing over the management of refugees to Wang Dingbei for re-planning, and Wang Li also made a profound review of his failure to do his job, but no one complained that Wang Li did not do his job properly, because these days Wang Li's main energy has been on going out to purchase materials and escorting and transporting materials, and Wang Li They also focused on guarding against external dangers before, who would have thought that rot would start from the inside.
Now Wang Lixin's task is to be fully responsible for the purchase of materials and the transportation of materials, and Wang Dingbei is responsible for other things.
Li Xiangfeng told Qin Tianxin what he reported to him today.
There is nothing else, that is, to say how much gold is left in the funds currently provided to the refugees, plus the 110,000 gold coins handed over to Wang Dingbei today, a total of 147,000 gold coins remaining.
The food purchased before was calculated according to the consumption of 10,000 people for a week, and the number of refugees was not so much, but sending away the refugees was another expense, after a few days of consumption, there was basically not much food left now, and they had to go to Nanyang City to buy food, and they had to take care of other expenses, and if this continued, they couldn't last much time with these gold coins.
The current population, conservatively calculated according to the consumption of 15,000 gold coins a month, can probably be used for more than 9 months, which sounds okay at first, but if you think about it carefully, this is just the most basic food, if you want to maintain a normal life, these gold coins are only enough to consume three or four months.
There is only one way in front of a few people, find a way to find a source, otherwise this troupe will collapse sooner or later.
Most of the refugees are still farmers, and they have always had a dependence on the land, and the only way to think of it is to plant food as early as possible, so that there is hope of survival.
"I don't know anything, since I was a child, my father took me to dig food from the field, Captain Li said that he wanted to occupy the wasteland to farm, I thought that now I must act immediately, the sooner we plant food, everyone will be able to live a good life earlier!" said a man with a simple face, saying what most people in the room thought.
That being said, but when it comes to farming, everyone has no confidence in their hearts, not because they don't know, but because the regions are different, this is the south of the empire, and everyone is not familiar with the rice planted, which leads to the delay in making up people's minds.
"Then hurry up and arrange the human race! What are you waiting for?" Wang Dingbei, who understood the situation, was also anxious and blurted out.
After hearing Wang Dingbei say, everyone was also helpless, not that they didn't want to plant, but they didn't know where to start, and now it was close to August, and on the way to come, I saw that the rice in some villages had grown, can it still be planted now?
After Gongsun Jin described these situations to Wang Dingbei, it caused Wang Dingbei to laugh.
"Hahahaha! It's okay, it's okay! If this is the case, you don't have to scruple about it! The weather here can still grow late rice now! It will probably be harvested in late November!" Wang Dingbei just finished speaking, everyone stood up with a bang, stared at Wang Dingbei with wide eyes, and stared at Wang Dingbei incredulously, this situation really scared Wang Dingbei for a moment.
Could it be that he laughed too rudely just now? Embarrassed everyone? Maybe he really shouldn't laugh at everyone like this just now, just when Wang Dingbei was about to apologize, he was stopped by Wang Lao's doubts.
"Is what Captain Wang said true?" Wang Lao suppressed his excitement, and his tone was full of trembling.
"Really?" stared at Wang Lao with a confused face full of spring in front of him.
"The crops in the nearby villages have grown, and it doesn't matter?" asked Elder Wang cautiously again.
Wang Dingbei thought carefully in his mind, he had not planted rice here, but he also knew very well how to sow these rice and when to harvest it, so he said: "This does not affect, the nearby villages plant early, harvest earlier, we can also plant this month, and I am not sure if it is a month later!"
After Wang Dingbei finished speaking, everyone was boiling, and even Li Xiangfeng was shocked to block his ears, Li Xiangfeng understood why they were so happy, but Ken Ben couldn't understand their mood, this is a mood of sustenance, one day if they don't plant the land here by their own hands, they will feel that this place will never belong to them, this is the simplest land feelings, the soul of this race for tens of thousands of years.
The meeting ended quickly, Wang Dingbei also proposed to find some people to guide how to plant late rice, and others were excited to go back to bring the news to everyone, Gongsun Jin and Wang Lao did not leave the wooden shed, but got together to discuss the matter of tomorrow's wasteland farming, the two are now full of excited expressions, and they are about to have a face-to-face close contact, which basically means that half of the manpower for building houses and drilling wells will be divided into half to open up and farm, which is their hope and the pillar of their homeland.
Wang Dingbei had already gone out to take over his own affairs, and Wang Li took him to meet with the previous 100 security guards, Wang Dingbei began to speak in front of everyone, and Li Xiangfeng watched carefully on the side, but Li Xiangfeng felt that this was much better than himself in this paragraph, and he couldn't help but start looking at Wang Dingbei.
There was a cheer and a wail in the evening hours.
The joy was that most of the refugees knew that they could grow late rice and harvest their own food to feed themselves.
What was screaming was that more than a dozen middle-aged people were hanged up by Wang Dingbei and carried out the whipping sentence that Wang Dingbei had just promulgated! Those who had committed such things as stealing grain, forcibly robbing grain, raping women, and bullying men and women were found out by Wang Dingbei.
Li Xiangfeng was also puzzled by these people pulled out by Wang Dingbei, as if he had to pull people out of the refugees at will, of course, the people who were pulled out were even more unconvinced, and shouted loudly that they were wronged.
After Wang Dingbei put out all the human and physical evidence, these people knelt on the ground one by one and begged for mercy, and were ordered by Wang Dingbei to be tied up and executed with whipping.
