14. Discussion

Most of the villagers in Qinghe Village don't know what steel weapons are all about.

Chu He thrust hard into the ground, relying on brute force, and an iron sword of inferior quality could be deformed or even broken.

As Chu He pulled out the steel sword, the villagers were shocked to find that the steel sword had not changed at all.

Chu He was shocked when he saw everyone, and took advantage of the situation and said: "This is the steel sword, which is sharper than the iron sword, harder than the iron sword, and outside, one is hundreds of taels of silver." ”

"Chu He has asked Third Uncle Chu to help build steel swords, ten a month, you can get five thousand silver taels, everyone believes that Chu He can ensure that the villagers' women, children, and children are fed and clothed, right?"

"If you villagers don't believe in Chu He, you can ask Third Uncle Chu if this sword was created by Chu He himself!"

Chu Qianzhong naturally would not dismantle the platform of Chu He at this time, so he took two steps forward at the moment, nodded and said, "The steel sword is indeed made by Chu He. ”

Chu Heizi was also suppressed by the momentum of Chu River.

After a while, he muttered and said: "The old and weak women and children in our village, I am afraid that there are not as many as 600, and one person uses 100 yuan a month, that is 60,000 yuan, so you give up so much money to give it to us?"

Chu Yuan added: "If you are sick and take medicine, etc., you will need more money and silver." ”

Chu He looked at the dark-skinned Chu Heizi with some surprise, seeing that this guy was stupid and black, he couldn't think that arithmetic was okay.

He has already discovered that the villagers of Qinghe Village are basically illiterate, do not know a few big characters, and their arithmetic skills are particularly poor, and it is difficult to calculate the number of more than 1,000 yuan.

Chu Heizi casually calculated that six hundred people cost sixty thousand dollars a month, but it was not easy.

Chu He has some understanding of the prices here, and the purchase of one yuan is equivalent to a piece of the earth, the price of rice is about two to three yuan a catty, and the price of meat is more than ten yuan a catty.

The environment near Qinghe Village is harsh, and there are many casualties such as hunting and labor in Qinghe Village, so that there are not many old people and young people in Qinghe Village, among the 1,000 people, there are 300 young and strong, and the old people who are over 50 years old are about seventy or eighty, and there are the most women, children and young children.

Half the size of the child eats the poor Lao Tzu, the amount of food here is very large, if you let go of the belly, you can eat more than a pound of rice at a time, an average of two meals a day two pounds and five yuan, a person is one hundred and five dollars a month.

The 60,000 yuan a month that Chu Heizi said is still a small amount.

Since Chu He has stood up, he intends to let everyone in Qinghe Village return to his heart and use it for him, so naturally he can't use this number to calculate his own expenses, I'm afraid that 100,000 yuan a month is a lot, and here it is 100 taels of silver.

Chu He intends to really arm them, and he must let the young and strong out of production, so Qinghe Village has almost no income.

Armed to train them, replenish their armor, and provide meat, this is the real big head, and they can't support it without a thousand taels of silver.

Although the Chu blacksmith said that a sword was five hundred taels of silver, a large part of the steel sword made had to be used for his own use.

Moreover, if there is too much of something, it will depreciate, and it is impossible for poor Datong County to accommodate many steel swords, so to feed these people, we have to find some way in the short term.

Chu He stretched out his hand to quiet everyone down, and then said indifferently: "I think everyone knows that now everything in Dashu is very turbulent, such as Ji County, which was captured by bandits, and tens of thousands of people died. ”

Chu He paused: "We in Qinghe Village must learn a lesson, we can't go on like this." Although the Chu River is small, he can't watch his uncles and brothers die under the swords and guns of the bandits. ”

"Therefore, I plan to help our village set up a village protection team and a hunting team, and the young and strong will participate in the training, so that we will also have the strength to resist when danger strikes in the future. ”

Chu Heizi deserved to be the best supporting role, and at this time, he asked again: "Our village is only 300 young and strong, and we have gone to 100, if we join the village protection team and hunting team again, who will do the work in the fields?"

Chu He smiled: "Chu He has also thought about this problem. ”

"In addition to being responsible for the food and clothing of the old and weak women and children in the village, I will give money to the young and strong villagers who participate in the village protection team and hunting team, no less than 2,000 yuan a month!"

As soon as Chu He's words came out, the entire ancestral hall suddenly shook, and even the Chu blacksmith was extremely surprised, only Chu Zhenhai secretly bowed his head, looking at Chu He's eyes full of eagerness and excitement.

If the villagers are not excited, Qinghe Village has always been poor, and ordinary people work in the fields all year round, except for paying taxes, there is not much left.

If the year is bad, the grain that is harvested will not even be enough to pay taxes.

The bulk of their family's consumption is food and clothing, and a family of ten people will eat 1,000 yuan a month.

Working in the fields alone is certainly not enough, so helping out and hunting during the off-seasons is one of the important sources of income for Qinghe Village.

Chu Blacksmith is a wealthy family, with a family of three, and the fee is not much, but he only earns about 1,000 a month, otherwise he would not have paid more than 3,000 yuan to help Chu He fight swords for the labor fee of 400 yuan.

No one doubts Chu He's words, the people in this era are quite simple, the most articulate credit, Chu He is still Chu Zhenhai's grandson, if he talked nonsense, he would have been driven out by Chu Zhenhai a long time ago.

Many villagers are secretly counting their fingers to see how many young and strong people are in their families, how much money they can get a month if they participate in the village protection team and hunting team, and how much they can leave in addition to food.

The villagers are not stupid, and everyone knows that it is much more cost-effective to participate in the village protection team and hunting team than to work in the fields.

Even if there is something that can't be calculated, ask others, or look at other people's appearances, and you will know the result.

Blacksmith Chu frowned slightly, and finally couldn't help but say at this time: "Chu He, although the steel sword is valuable, there are too many of them, I'm afraid that the people in Datong County can't buy it, and if they are sold cheaply, they won't be able to feed our thousands of people in Qinghe Village." ”

Chu He smiled slightly: "Third Uncle Chu don't worry, Chu He naturally knows this." ”

Chu He confidently continued: "That's why Chu He decided to set up a village protection team and a hunting team. ”

"The village protection team and the hunting team are actually the same, one team trains patrols in the village, the other team goes to Huyaling to hunt, and when the hunting team comes back, they train and repair in the village, and it is the turn of the village protection team to hunt. ”

"I don't know if you uncles and brothers, have you ever heard the saying that unity is strength. ”

The more Chu He spoke, the more imposing he became, and he didn't know if it was because of the overlord's talent: "We used to go out hunting, and we were mostly bullied by hunters from other villages. ”

"They rely on the large number of people to rob our hunting grounds and our prey, as long as we are united, they will not dare to bully us in Qinghe Village. ”

The young and strong old people in the village also started to talk about it.

"Yes, every time we go out, we don't have as many people as in other villages. ”

Last time, I went out hunting with a certain and a certain three people, and finally injured a cheetah, and I was about to catch the cheetah, and then more than a dozen hunters came to Yegou Village, and they robbed the cheetah. ”

"If all of us go out, who will dare to rob us of our things. ”

Chu Heizi was still more intelligent, thought more, and asked: "Chu He, then let's go out together, we can't hunt separately, where are so many prey for us to hunt?"

As soon as Chu Heizi said this, the direction of Qingzhuang's discussion changed again.

It's not that they haven't tried to go out hunting with many people, but there are not many prey under Huya Ridge, and many people are together, not to mention that they will alarm and scare away the prey, even if they find prey, there are not many of them.

Sometimes a dozen people go out together, and the game is not as big as a group of two groups of three.
