"What do you think about Xiucaigong?" The village chief asked.

"I'm afraid this drought will last for a long time, and the village should prepare early." Yan Huaiwen said.

"Shhh Village Chief Luo couldn't hold the bowl, hurriedly put it down, and asked urgently: "What are you talking about?" Brother Wen, what did you hear about in town? ”

made him anxious, and directly called Yan Huaiwen's nickname.

Santie quietly looked at Xiucaigong, and was relieved to see that he was not angry.

The master told him at home that the boss of the Yan family is different from them, who are digging crops in the soil, and he can no longer shout Brother Wen and Brother Wen, and he must be honored as a talented man.

Yan Lao Er looked at his eldest brother in surprise.

What's going on?

Scholars know the world without going out?

Did the eldest brother know so early that there was going to be a drought?

I tried to recall the plot in the book that my daughter told, and it seems that there is no such paragraph......

Could it be because of their arrival that the plot has changed?

Yan Huaiwen had to use unwarranted news to cover up the strangeness of his foresight.

"That's right, I heard that Qintian has monitored and calculated that there will be a big drought."

What a prison?!

The grandchildren of the Luo family don't understand what the place is, but they always have a lofty name, and they understand it according to their own thin cognition.

This is a place that can pinch and calculate, and people have tested it, and there will be a big drought!

This must be believed!

Only Xiucai Gong can inquire about such useful news, and fame is different!

Village Chief Luo, who had experience in escaping famine, couldn't sit still immediately, what he said was right, he had to prepare early.

"The wheat in the field must be harvested quickly, and the water from the old well must be fished out. Village Chief Luo was taken by his father and mother to escape the famine, and there were too many people who died on the road, and on the way to escape the famine, whoever left first had a better chance of survival.

The younger generation in the village did not experience it, but the old people came from that time.

Get to the point the first time.

Yes, the most important thing is these two things – water and food.

"One more thing, I'd like to ask for your help." Yan Huaiwen looked at his younger brother and said helplessly: "Huai'an and his daughter-in-law have been busy in the field for a day, they can wait, the wheat in the field can't wait, I can't wait for the wheat in the field, I am inconvenient to go out, I bother you to help find some people, and the wheat in the field will be harvested within three days, and my family is willing to use grain as a substitute for work." ”

The village chief nodded secretly.

This show is transparent.

At this time, it is not easy to find short-term jobs, and they all guard their own land.

But giving food is different, even if it is less, there are more people who are willing to make this effort.

He will release the news of what prison tomorrow, and there will only be more people rushing to help the Yan family reclaim the land.

Santie's eyes lit up.

There are more people who eat and more people who work in their homes.

You can collect your own land in three or two clicks.

It is not difficult to help the Yan family collect it.

"Master!" Santie whispered.

was glared at fiercely, and then stopped squeaking.

"Xiucai Gong rest assured, it doesn't take three days, your family's few acres of land, one two days, it's enough." Village Chief Luo pondered for a while and asked, "Xiucaigong, where do you say we should go?" ”

He didn't have an idea in his heart, he knew that he had to flee and leave to survive.

But where can they go?

Thinking that the family business he had worked so hard to manage would be left behind again, he finally understood the feelings of his father and grandmother back then.

Reluctant!

"Go north, go to Guanzhou."

……

Out of the door of Yan's house, Santie asked his father impatiently: "Master, why don't you tell Xiucaigong that our family helped him harvest the wheat?" ”

"No brains!" Luo Laohan hates that iron is not steel, "The situation in our family is clear, don't people know that there are many men in our family?" Don't mention it, and let us help find someone to work, just to give this benefit out and get more neighbors. ”

Among his grandchildren, Santie is a brain-active, and he is willing to teach him more. "We are different from the villages next to us, each has its own ancestors, and if you want the big guys to follow us on the road, you have to let people feel some tangible benefits."

"Master, I don't understand, if they don't want to come with us, they will go their separate ways, what's this?" Santie was confused, still thinking about the food promised by Xiucai.

"You are still young, you have few things, and you don't know the Tao here." Luo Laohan said: "We want to escape from the famine, which direction to go, which way to go, what time to go, what time to sleep, whether the old and young want to take the car, which one to find food and drink, which guards the children, there are people who have ideas, and there must be people who help the work, big guys, in order to find a way to live." ”

"Xiucai Gong is the most prominent person in our village, and everyone respects him, but he has little contact with us on weekdays, and if he wants everyone to work hard in one place, he has to let everyone know that Xiucai Gong is a generous, kind-hearted, and willing to make up for our hardships haha."

"As for why we are on the road together? Should you be as peaceful as our village and town on the way to escape the wilderness? If we are drought, the next village will not be dry? I can't live, I have to go, people are hungry, they can do anything! When we meet those who can't survive, they want to fight with us and rob us of our rations, how can we live? So the big guys have to hold together, keep our things, keep the old and young in our village, live in a village for decades, know the roots, isn't it better than partnering with outsiders? ”

"But master, there is not a lot of grain tax on the land of Xiucai's family, how many people can be relieved? Will the villagers be willing to follow along? I heard that the south is very rich, you can plant three crops a year, good guys, you have to eat big white flour steamed buns, the old people in the village say that the north is very cold, can freeze to death, and can freeze into icicles when the water is halfway through...... Plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and you can plant one season a year, so it's better for us to do this. "Santie is really worried, releasing water is a big deal, how to fix the little bird if it freezes!

"It's not that the north side can't ......live," Luo Laohan looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice: "We are harvesting wheat at this time, and the days are much earlier than in previous years, and it will take more than ten days for the grain collectors of the Yamen to come down......

Ten days!

The three irons hit a spirit.

This year's income in the field can be estimated at a glance, less than in previous years, not a star and a half, how much can be left after the grain tax?

But what if you don't pay taxes?

According to the days of previous years, by the time the grain collector came down, they would have been long gone.

Fleeing the famine!!

"Master!" Santie was excited, and his voice trembled, "Can you really not pay it?" Doesn't it mean that if you don't pay taxes, you will be dragged away from the penalty? ”

"Be quiet!" Luo Laohan accurately found his grandson's location in the dark night, glared at him fiercely, and then whispered: "No, the south is not good, there is little wasteland, and when we pass the disaster, they will still send us back." The north side is different, there is a lot of wasteland, and if we want to, most of us can stay. ”

"If a person stays, he has to re-establish his citizenship."

That being said, Luo Laohan is still very hesitant, does he really want to go north?

Without tax payment documents, I am afraid that this land will be taken away by the yamen without waiting for three years of abandonment.

Without land, they become homeless people.

Unable to care about being so happy that he couldn't find his grandson in the north, Luo Laohan hurried home.

I can't say it, I have to talk to a few old guys.
