"Shopkeeper, why did you fall on him just now, but you ......"

Li Hu asked puzzled. Zao Wou-Ki watched the two of them leave, and then slowly covered his bottom with his hands.

Zhao Wouji, who gritted his teeth, said fiercely: "He, he grabbed the root of my life...... You, why do you say I'm called, oh oh oh ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Wouji jumped on the ground hard, then raised his head and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Don't tell others about today's events, you know!" ”

"Yes, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."

Zao Wou-Ki continued to jump up in place with an "oh oh" sound. On the side, Li Hu couldn't help grinning.

At this time, Chen Jing was already sitting in the carriage. Da Niu said in surprise: "Brother Jing, are you okay?" ”

"Why, do you think there's something wrong with me?"

"No, no, no......"

Chen Jing smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back to Zhuangzi." ”

"Holo."

The bull waved its whip and the carriage moved slowly. Su Xiaoyong curiously asked Zao Wou-Ki why he suddenly "screamed pain".

Chen Jing "explained" the reason in detail in her ear, Su Xiaoyong blushed after hearing this, and then said in a low voice: "Husband, you are so bad." ”

But Chen Jing laughed loudly, and the carriage drove out of Qinghe Town in laughter against the sunset in the west, and went straight to Chenjiazhuang.

A few days later, in front of the kiln in front of the hillside, Chen Jing looked at the green bricks placed in front of the puddle and nodded with satisfaction.

"Husband, the bricks for building the house are almost ready now, but there is a lack of craftsmen and helpers to build the house!"

Chen Jing smiled and looked at the sun, followed by a look in the direction of Qinghe Town, and saw a carriage pulling a cart of people, with more than 20 refugees behind.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoyong said in surprise: "It's a refugee, husband, did you come to our Chenjiazhuang to make trouble?" ”

Chen Jing beckoned to the carriage, and soon, the carriage and the group of refugees came to the kiln.

"Brother Jing, I have found you all the carpenters, stonemasons and masons you asked me to find."

The big bull looked at the six or seven craftsmen sitting in the carriage and said, "Everyone, this is our host. ”

Several craftsmen got out of the car one after another and stepped forward to see Chen Jing, and among the refugees, Zhang Liang also walked up: "Brother Chen, I brought you the ...... for the person you asked me to find."

He pointed and said, "These are the people I know, the most powerful, they are all once soldiers in the Great Xia Army, and their bodies are as strong as calves. ”

Su Xiaoyong seemed to understand, Zhang Liang also greeted Su Xiaoyong, Chen Jing said to Su Xiaoyong: "Lady, do you say that there is still a shortage of craftsmen and helpers?" ”

"Husband, you are so powerful, with these craftsmen and the people brought by Brother Zhang Liang, our house will definitely be completed soon."

Chen Jing smiled and nodded, and asked Su Xiaoyong to take the craftsman and Zhang Liang and others to break the house and prepare to build a house.

At this moment, Chen Honghai came over with a few uncles and some villagers: "Jing'er, you have to save the villagers this time." ”

Chen Jing saw a sad face, he stepped forward and said, "Owner, what's wrong?" ”

"Just now, the official from Qingyuan County came and said that this year's grain should be handed over by each household according to the head, and it is twice as much as every year!"

Chen Honghai shook his head again and again: "This year, the weather is not beautiful, the drought is severe, and the harvest is greatly reduced, which may not be 50% of the previous years...... You said, this will have to double the official rations, but I am afraid that we will not only have no grains left, but also have to be reversed. ”

Chen Jing frowned, he knew that this was caused by refugees, the state government sent grain before, but now the grain depot is empty, and the state government must keep some official food on the one hand, and prepare some to help refugees.

That's why they will increase the grain harvest, but they didn't consider that the actual situation, although there is no grain and no harvest, but the output is halved and the harvest will be increased, which is invisibly worse.

"The official said that if you can't pay the food, you will have to arrest people and serve in the conscription!"

Chen Honghai pointed to the people behind him and said: "There are only these people in Chenjiazhuang, the strong men are less than fifty, you said that if they are also taken away, how can we Chenjiazhuang these old and young women and children still live!" ”

"That's it, Jing'er, you have a lot of ideas and a lot of ways, you can help me think of countermeasures and save everyone!"

"yes, help us!"

Chen Honghai and his uncle and others bowed down one after another, and some of the villagers even knelt on the ground, after all, if there was no way, every family would be taken away to serve in the only prime of life.

It is related to the survival of Chenjiazhuang, without the strong men, those families may have no pillars, and now in this situation, the refugees and displaced people are in trouble, if there is no existence of these strong men, Chen Jiazhuang will not have any defense capabilities.

The consequences are unimaginable.

Chen Jing frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Can the official say the time limit?" ”

"Within a month, after the autumn harvest, the grain must be handed over, otherwise, the government will send people to arrest people."

One month?

Chen Jing nodded: "That's it, I'll think about it again, there is still a month, you don't have to panic, let's go back first." ”

Hearing that Chen Jing was helping to find a way, Chen Honghai and the villagers were relieved, and everyone would go to Chenjiazhuang.

Da Niu stepped forward at this time: "Brother Jing, there are more than 100 households in this Chenjiazhuang, so much grain, what can you think of?" ”

Chen Jing glanced at him, followed into the distance, and muttered: "We don't have it, it doesn't mean that others don't have it, buy grain!" ”

"Huh!? Buying grain? ”

Da Niu glanced at Chen Jing in surprise, then raised his hand and touched his head: "Now that the refugees of the Great Wei Dynasty are in disaster, all places are trying to find ways to resettle refugees, and there is a shortage of food everywhere, we, where can we buy it?" ”

Chen Jing pointed ahead and said lightly: "Just go to the border of Great Wei!" ”
