Niu Baochang had a sad look on his face, as if he couldn't eat and couldn't sleep for a long time, and said, "I'll talk about it when the people from the Black Dragon Pond come." ”

The atmosphere was so low.

None of them spoke, and everyone was hungry and not hungry anymore.

They were also very nervous, not knowing what was going on.

After waiting for another half an hour or so, all the people had arrived, and then Chief Niu spoke.

"I'm calling you here in such a hurry today, something big has happened."

"What's the matter?" Someone asked.

Niu Baochang said: "Our Qinghe County is going to change the county master." ”

Everyone looked at each other, I don't know if Qinghe County wants to change the county master, what does it have to do with them?

But seeing Niu Chengchun's expression, he felt that it was very closely related to them.

Liu Jiawan's Li Zheng couldn't stand it, he said half of what he said, and said, "What does the change of county master have to do with us?" ”

Niu Baochang glanced at him and said, "You are really simple to say that you have a simple brain, why have you been so peaceful in the past few years?" ”

"Could it be because of the county master?"

"Let me tell you this, that time the county lord led troops to attack us, everyone still remembers, right?

That time, I was the one who coaxed the county master away.

Otherwise, more than half of the output of your fields will be handed over to the county government.

Ten catties of grain for you, leaving two catties is already good. ”

He won't miss an opportunity to put gold on his face.

But these words have succeeded in evoking everyone's memories.

That year, the county magistrate led troops to attack them, and each of their villages drew men and horses out.

It's just that this was taken over by Po Shanggang later, and they don't know how to deal with it later.

I only know that the county master has not come back later.

And they live and work in this place in peace, and there are not so many complicated taxes.

The people over there in Black Dragon Pond pay much more taxes than they do.

What they have made is those that cannot be avoided, and those who have a way to avoid it have learned more wisely and avoided a lot.

"Then this county master is not good, maybe he can be sympathetic to our people, just like you are the chief of the cow." There was a Li Zheng on the side of the Black Dragon Pond who hurriedly said, and by the way, he also slapped his ass.

Niu Chengchun was of course happy when he heard someone patting his ass.

If there was a tail, it would have been cocked a long time ago.

He stroked his beard and said, "Not all people can think about the common people in everything like me.

The crows in the world are as black as the crows, and the fish and meat people of the previous term are not much better than the next one.

They came to be officials only for two things, to be promoted and to get rich.

They are all transferred from other places, where can they feel sorry for our local people?

The previous one was better to talk a little more, and just let it go.

But this is definitely not the case for the next term.

Our Qingniu Town is now famous, doesn't he come to make money when he takes office?

How can it be?

It is possible that we will not even be able to keep the food at home, and we will be fished away by him.

At that time, I am afraid that we will have to go back to the days of 10 years ago. ”

As soon as these people heard that they were going back to the days they had lived ten years ago, everyone became nervous.

They really can't talk about the life they lived in the past.

They toiled every day, but they had no food to eat and no clothing.

None of the children they have born to them can afford to feed.

A large number of girls were put in a basin of water and died, and the boys were raised to a few years old, either contracted smallpox and died, or starved to death.

can grow up safely and smoothly, but because he is too poor to get a daughter-in-law.

At that time, they were hungry all day long, and they would freeze in the winter.

How many people will die in winter.

Every winter is a test of life and death for them.

As long as you can survive the winter, it's like the rest of your life.

Those days were so bitter that no one wanted to mention them.

They even selectively forget.

Now that Niu Chengchun reminds them that they may be able to live back to the old days, the fear and powerlessness suddenly arise.

Everyone unanimously felt weak.

Someone said, "You can't go back and forth, can you?" ”

"That is, people are getting better and better."

"The new county master may not be bad to us."

They were very scared, but they had some very optimistic words in their mouths.

They want what they say to be good and things to go the way they say they say.

As if as long as they don't admit it, things won't happen.

Chief Niu said, "Isn't it better to be nice to us?" But what if? ”

"If it's really like what you say, there's nothing we can do."

"Why can't we do it, we can prevent it in advance."

"How can I prevent it?" As soon as they heard that Chief Niu said that it could be prevented in advance, they hurriedly asked.

Chief Niu said, "Why don't we go to the mountains and dig caves and hide our own grain in them." ”

"Is this going to work? What if someone goes to steal our food? ”

Niu Baochang said: "Whoever digs whose hole will not have much of a hole in the volume."

At best, it's a little bigger than the tomb.

Even if it was seen by the officers and soldiers, they would not have guessed that this was actually putting grain.

However, just in case, every household has to dig a hole in the ground and put a small amount of grain in it.

These grains are placed in the manholes of the ground, and if the officers and soldiers come to search for them, they are used to confuse them.

As long as we can fool the past for a while, we can settle down for a few more months. ”

They all had some difficulties.

Niu Chengchun said: "You don't have to make difficulties, you can do it yourself, if you want to, you are willing, if you are not, forget it."

It's because I see that this big guy is from a town, so I worry about it.

I'm still saying that, just in case.

Now it may not be as bad as I say, if it is a good officer, it is a blessing for us.

If he is a corrupt official, I am afraid that our children and grandchildren will starve and freeze again. ”

After he finished speaking, let them discuss it themselves.

They discussed and discussed, but some people still felt that there was no need for this;

Others think that it is good to be prepared for a rainy day, and that digging a cave is just a bit of effort for them.

It's better to take advantage of the current slack and dig a cave.

The chief cow had already prepared the meal in advance, invited them to eat, and let them go back after eating.

The village was finishing their meal and went back.

While some people find it necessary, some people don't.

Whether it was necessary or not, they informed their villagers when they returned.

If you are willing to pay, you can dig it, and if you don't want to pay it, forget it, this is not reluctant.

The next day, they held a village meeting in their respective villages, mainly about it.

When they said this, Chen Dashan had already gone to the town of Black Dragon Pond to find Ji Guan.

Ji Seki was also surprised to hear that he was going to dig a hole in the mountains to store things.
