Chapter 112: A little helpless
"In addition, our city walls should be made taller, standing high and seeing far away, which will also add some difficulties to those who come to attack." Zhou Chengan remembered what to say, and when he remembered it, he added casually.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, it's just that we can't interfere in this matter, you better go and talk to Wu Gongzi."
"Hmm." Zhou Chengan nodded, since Wu Weiran built a house next door, it is not as convenient as living in a courtyard, but the situation of the lady and Nian Nian is still better to live separately.
"By the way, Daddy, you just said that you should strengthen training, I remember, Wu, Uncle Wu, said before, that there are too few people in our village who can bow and arrow." Zhou Er thought about it, but he was a little dissatisfied with Wu Weiran's promotion from a big brother to a brother, but after thinking that after Wu Weiran came to the foot of the mountain, the village at the foot of the mountain underwent earth-shaking changes, and all these changes were inseparable from Wu Weiran, so he reluctantly accepted the title of uncle.
"Yes, this time I went to the Bandit Mountain, I also discovered the importance of archers in battle, having archers to assist or set up ambushes, you can always get twice the result with half the effort, but there are too few good bows and arrows in our team."
This is also something that Zhou Chengan is worried about, although he takes everyone to train every day, and everyone is already full of courage, but many things are not something that can be achieved with courage.
"Dad, I think of a person, not from our own village, from another village, twelve or thirteen years old, not much older than me, but when he shoots birds, one hit is accurate, and he can hit from afar."
"Who?" Li Zheng and the village chief rushed to ask before Zhou Cheng'an.
"It's called a plug, it's the one with some leprosy on its face, the one that begs for some food in the village on weekdays." Zhou Er said that he also happened to pass by, and saw that the bolt picked up a stone from the ground casually, and hit the bird in the tree, at first he thought he was just lucky, but several times in a row, he bumped into it, and every time he hit it all at once, he remembered it.
"Plugs? It's the little laizi who steals all day long, and was caught stealing chickens by the mother-in-law in the village a few days ago, no, no, that kind of person, no matter how good the head is, can't enter our patrol, what's more, he is not from this village, and the people in their family have all died in the hands of people in our village before, how can such a person believe it? Someone immediately remembered and retorted.
"Yes, you can't let a person from another village, and the people in our village and people who have mortal enemies enter our village, at the beginning, accept the people from these villages into our village, I feel inappropriate, although they were deceived by the people of the National Teacher's Mansion at the beginning, and were designed to become monsters, our village is also a last resort to protect itself, kill those people, but speaking of which, we also killed people, and now those from other villages are still dissatisfied with this matter, every time I look at them in our village, I am terrified, Fortunately, there is a patrol team, so I can barely sleep peacefully, if these people are allowed to join the patrol, then will our village still have a good night's sleep?
By the way, isn't there a sentence, how do you say it? How can you let other people watch next to the place where you sleep? ”
"That's right, why don't you drive people out, it's already our bodhisattva's heart, let them join the patrol, that's absolutely impossible."
Zhou Er didn't expect the opposition to be so loud, but he felt that since he was a talent, there was no reason not to use it.
However, these people's thoughts also have to be cared for.
What's more, what they said is not all groundless, it is true that there are some people with bad intentions who have been deliberately stirring up contradictions between the people who have joined the village and the aborigines of the village.
But in the final analysis, it is because the original residents of the village have always been in a high-minded manner, and they do not look down on outsiders on weekdays.
But this is also a helpless thing, the original unification of the people of the foot of the mountain to resist the invasion of the outside people, is to make a guarantee to the people of the foot of the village, if you directly accept those outside people to become the same people as the villagers of the foot of the village, it will be a big blow to the hearts of the villagers of the foot of the mountain, and it will also make the people who later join the village in some irregular ways be lucky and complacent.
However, times have changed, and now the contradictions between the aborigines of the village and those who joined later have gradually deepened, and if this internal contradiction has not been alleviated, it is likely to affect the unity of the village, and once the village has become a plate of scattered sand, the outside forces will be even more eyeing each other.
Therefore, it is imperative that the indigenous people of the village at the foot of the mountain and those who join later come together have common interests.
But in order to get the recognition of those who joined later, it was necessary to give them the official status of villagers at the foot of the mountain.
However, we also have to consider the opinions of the original villagers in these villages at the foot of the mountain, and we can't just give this status to anyone.
It has to be made to look like it's not easy to come by, and it has to make the Indigenous people aware of the need to get them on board.
It's just empty-handed, and he feels that he has to see the real tricks under his hands.
"Grandpa the village chief, Grandpa Lizheng, Dad, we may face mountain bandits, barbarians, and even those ill-intentioned moths in the imperial court in the future, only relying on the grass platform team we are pulling up now, I am afraid that it will not be successful, not to mention far, just say that now, the temperature is plummeting, and it will not be long before we enter the winter, the grass and trees will wither in winter, there will be no grass roots and bark, and there will be many hungry people, so everything can be done.
The news that we have food to eat in our village at the foot of the mountain will not be hidden for too long, and now there is a drought, and drought is usually accompanied by locust plagues and other disasters......"
"What? Locusts? Li Zheng and the village chief both looked nervous, in fact, they have been worried, two days ago when the drought, they have been worried, to this year, they are even more worried, finally, the rice fields in the village can barely survive by the dragon girl precipitation, seeing that the heavy ears are about to ripen, absolutely not.
God wouldn't be so ruthless and leave no way for people to live.
"Therefore, it is imperative that we take strict precautions, not only to harvest the crops in the field before the disaster comes, but also to prevent people from taking advantage of the disaster to eyeing our village at the foot of the mountain.
And the importance of archery teams does not need to be said by me.
Also, I have heard the village chief's grandfather and Grandpa Lizheng say before, although these people from other villages have joined our mountain foot village, but their hearts are not with us, but we can't drive these people out now, if they can't take the mountain foot village as their own home, it is not a good thing for us, and I also found out during this time that they are not dissatisfied with our mountain foot village because of what happened at the beginning, but more because they have always been regarded as outsiders and do the lowest work. Caused by not having their own land. ”
"Land? The land belongs to our village at the foot of the mountain, so why give it to them? ”
Some people just shouted out.
Zhou Er's face tightened, and then he swept coldly and said again.
"Of course I know the importance of land, so I don't mean to give them land."
"If you don't give them land, what kind of people are they from the village at the foot of the mountain?"
The man looked at Zhou Er coldly, and shook his head, as if to say, a little child, what nonsense.
"You can't give land, you can give something else, like respect? For example, a decent job that can ensure income in drought and flood? ”
Zhou Er ignored the ridicule in the man's eyes, word by word, with an arrogant attitude, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Respect?"
Everyone was amazed.
"Little Er, what do you mean by that? Tell me about it. Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, feeling that Xiao Er's words still seemed to have some truth.
"For us in the village at the foot of the mountain, we need someone to help us defend against the invaders from the outside and protect the village, and for those who come from outside, they need to be respected, a job to keep us fed.
Therefore, my suggestion is that we openly recruit people who are good at the foot of the mountain this time, whether they are from the original village at the foot of the mountain or those who join later, once they are qualified, they will be given the same status as the original villagers of the foot of the mountain, and they will also be given a generous treatment. ”
"Open calls? Do you mean that those slaves from other villages can also participate? Objections were then raised.
"Yes." Zhou Er did not shy away.
"No, no, how can this be done, let these people become the same people as our village at the foot of the mountain, then it won't turn the sky upside down, and then the dove will occupy the magpie's nest, but what should I do?"
"Xiao Er, I understand what you mean, but the opinions of our original people in the old village at the foot of the mountain also have to be considered, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will cause opposition from the people of our original village at the foot of the mountain." The village chief understood what Xiao Er meant, but he was also a little helpless.
