Chapter 025: Poorer Than Yesterday
After everyone returned, Liu An selected 60 people with the highest force value from all the victims and asked them to stand aside.
The armed forces of these people are more than 20, they are all from the northern border, the border has been harassed by the Hu people all the year round, so it has caused the border people to be martial, can be called the whole people are soldiers.
And the highest force among them is even higher than Liu Ming, with 39 points of force!
It's just that this person's intelligence is only 14 points, stupid and stupid, and he can't be used, so he can only be a bodyguard.
In the process of selecting young and strong, Liu An found two people who had no loyalty, only phase sex, and the phase was still negative.
These two men were ordinary, not among the 60 people.
Liu An found Feng Yan and asked about the situation of the two people, and Feng Yan directly suggested that the two should be taken down.
It turned out that the two had been ostracized by everyone for stealing their partner's food during the county's soup kitchen many times.
Among the 273 people Feng Yan said, these two people were not included, I thought that the two had left the team, but I didn't expect that they seemed to be following behind the team without being discovered.
After Liu An learned about the situation, he ordered Feng Yan not to move for the time being, and in the dead of night, he secretly took a few people to take the two of them to another place and kill them directly.
Driving away this potential threat is to let the tiger return to the mountain and harm others.
Then Liu An picked out two people with similar comprehensive ability to Feng Yan from the 60 people selected, and divided these 60 people into three groups, each of the three of whom was responsible for 19 people.
One of these two people is called He Guan and the other is Wang Zhi, both of whom are poor families without expressions.
The first group is in charge of Feng Yan, the second group is in charge of He Guan, and the third group is in charge of Wang Zhi.
Then three groups of 20 people began to receive supplies, one group of 20 people each received a hoe, two groups of 20 people each received an axe, and three groups of 20 people each received a saw.
Then each of the 60 men received a straw mat to carry behind them, and a pair of straw sandals for them to put on on the spot, and it was no better to go to work in the wasteland than to walk on the flat ground, and if these people were still barefoot, by night there would not be a single intact foot among the 60 people.
The rest of the futon and 3 straw mats are left for the rest of the people to share.
Once the tools were distributed, it was time to head to the site.
Liu An glanced at the sky, the time had passed, and it was almost time, and he had to go to the city again to buy food and tableware, so he handed over the certificate of land and property handed over to Liu Bei by Gongsun Zhan.
He also asked Liu Ming to go to his house to pull a few cars, pull up all the things he bought, and Liu Ming and Liu Bei took the victims to the field to level out a square land of one acre in size.
He drove to the city.
After paying the entrance fee, Liu Anniu kept going, drove the cattle to the north of the city, and rented 5 carriages first.
The carriage was charged according to the time, and Liu An rented it for 1 hour, including the groom, and spent a total of 150 yuan after negotiation.
Then he took 5 carriages and bought 3 water tanks and 3 cauldrons.
This cauldron is indeed very large, it is not a problem to cook 300 bowls of porridge, the reason why I bought 3 mouthfuls is that Liu An considers that a bowl of thick porridge is not full at all, and how can he have sufficient physical strength to work if he is not full?
So Liu An was going to use 2 of the cauldrons to cook rice and the other to cook vegetables.
The cauldron cost 500 yuan per mouth, plus 3 water tanks, a total of 1644 yuan, and the shopkeeper saved a fraction, spending a total of 1640 yuan.
After loading the cauldron and the water tank on two carriages, Liu An immediately went to the grain store and bought 20 stone of rice for 4,600 yuan.
Also loaded in two carriages, Liu An came to the place where he bought old bedding in the morning again, this time he did not buy straw mats, but spent 6,000 yuan to buy 30 sets of bedding.
Now that he doesn't even have a place to shelter from the wind in his fields, it is impossible for him to let the victims walk more than 10 miles back to Liujia Village or Zhuoxian County to find shelter from the wind, because it would be too far to go back and forth.
In this way, how to spend the night at night has become the key, and it is impossible for the victims to follow them on the first day and freeze to death.
I bought 20 sets of futons before, and with these 30 sets, a total of 50 sets, it was 100 sheets when taken apart.
2 people wrapped in a piece to keep warm and deal with it first, at least enough for those old and weak women and children.
As for the young man, there is a straw mat and a few more fires, and it should be possible to barely survive the night.
So Liu An put the bedding on his ox cart, and bought a cart of firewood and put it on the last carriage.
A bundle of firewood costs 10 yuan, and a cart contains a total of 20 bundles, which uses up 200 yuan.
I bought firewood and kettles for cooking, and I still had a set of tools, spoons, pots, chopsticks, and chopsticks for eating.
But now Liu An only has 780 yuan left, 4 yuan for a pottery bowl, 1 yuan and 10 pairs of chopsticks, a total of 273 victims, minus the 20 pairs of chopsticks he bought before, then at least 250 pairs are needed.
Liu An's remaining money was no longer enough to buy so many dishes and chopsticks, so he could only take a step back and buy 130 pairs first, and then take turns to eat.
Wait for the lottery to be drawn today, or go tomorrow to sell the old godmother in the inventory and make up the remaining dishes and chopsticks.
Liu An spent 533 yuan to buy 130 pairs of bowls and chopsticks, plus the ones he bought before, if he eats in two rounds, he can still spare some bowls to serve dishes.
Of the remaining 247 yuan, Liu An spent 100 yuan to buy tools such as spoons and cutting boards, and spent 50 yuan to buy two pairs of fire sickles for making fires.
In the end, Liu An didn't move the remaining 97 money, he still has to pay the entrance fee when he enters the city tomorrow, and he can't have any money on him.
In just a short period of time, Liu An's 13,385 money bottomed out.
It even included the balance of 1,000 yuan that Liu An was originally going to pay for the wooden box and clay bricks, but now he can only find another way.
The money was all spent, and Liu An had no need to stay in the city anymore, so he beckoned five coachmen to get into the car, and the five carriages followed behind a bull city and went out of the city.
After returning home first, Liu An poured fifty or sixty potatoes into the water tank on the car, and told his mother to come back for dinner in the evening, and then walked towards the approximate location of the field in his memory.
The 50 barren fields that Gongsun Zan gave himself are located 15 miles west of Zhuoxian County and 10 miles south of the Taohe River.
Liu An still has a little impression of the location of the Taohe River, this is a river that flows from the northwest of Zhuo County, and his predecessor was taken by Liu Ming, Liu Bei and others to play there when he was young.
It is 15 miles west of Zhuoxian County and 10 miles south of Taohe, which is probably located in the southwest of Liujia Village.
So Liu An traveled about 15 miles west along Zhuoxian, and then began to travel south.
Liu An only needs to estimate the approximate location, Liu Bei has already gone with the victims first, so many people, even if they are far away, they can be seen, Liu An doesn't have to worry about not finding it at all.
Before Liu Bei went, Liu An had already handed over the certificate of land and property given to him by Gongsun Zhan to Liu Bei.
There is specific information about the land on it, including the geographical location and land coordinates, all of which are clearly remembered, and Liu An believes that with Liu Bei's ability, he will never be wrong.
Half an hour later, Liu An found Liu Bei and the others.
It is not a word for 'field', but can only be described as a wasteland, not only is there grass and rocks everywhere, but there are many thick trees growing on the ground.
Similar to Liu An's expectations, if you want to make reasonable use of these 50 acres of wasteland, you must first cut down the trees, pull out the roots, and then clean up the stone hay in the mess.
But this is not in a hurry, a little bit, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, Liu An doesn't need to open all the land at once.
