Chapter 102
The policeman left after notifying Wangjia Village, and he had to go to another village.

Second Grandpa sighed, "You heard me, you have to send out people from every house, and you can't fight against the county government. That's not good fruit."

"Patriarch, what's wrong with this? The last time the road was built was a few years ago, but it could kill people alive."

Some aunts and aunts began to panic.

"Grandpa, it's not feasible to refuse the Yamen. I can't hide it even if I give money. People still have to pay, but we can think of a way."

"Tell me how to do it."

The second grandfather glanced at Zhou Hui.

"The yamen said that as long as people are sent to do the work, the yamen will not make things difficult for us after completing the task.

We can arrange our own people, take turns to sit in the village, and work for three to five days at a time, and then change the other people to do it, so that everyone has time to rest and will not hurt the body. "

"Yes, in addition, you can ask the aunts and aunts to prepare meals and send them over, and the meals will be better."

Yu Geng also opened his mouth to add.

"I'm in charge of making the soup, and I promise not to let everyone fall down. I deliver two meals a day with soup to keep you full."

Wenwen was the first to reach out to solve everyone's worries. After all, the burdens of each family are different, and this is considered a major event in the village.

"I think it's okay, the orders from the yamen cannot be discounted, so Gengzi Hunzi and you guys will follow your eighth uncle to the yamen to catch the fast and give them some money, and say hello to them in advance.

Then ask clearly which section we are in charge of, when it will start, and when it will end at the latest, so I can know when I come back. "

"Success, let's go."

The two of them went because they had fame, and the yamen would not neglect them and would give them a good face.

"So, aunts and aunts, my family produces meat and vegetables, but we don't have enough manpower. We have to harvest food in the autumn harvest, and our family doesn't have enough people to work. Is there anyone willing to help?

We are responsible for boiling the medicinal soup and sending it to everyone to ensure that everyone eats well and stays healthy. "

Wenwen hurriedly discussed with everyone, the food for so many people is not enough at home.

"I come."

"Count me in."

"I'm here to make an order for the menu."

Grandma Yu also stood up to help without hesitation, doing what she could.

"Then cook in the kitchen of the ancestral hall, and let my servant girl deliver the meals.

There are two batches, one for the men in the field and one for the road builders. The time can be slightly staggered.

There are three meals a day, and my family also makes a round breakfast, so I can make it with one hand. "

"Our old lady will deliver the meal."

Immediately there was an old lady who came forward to answer. The men, including the boys, were all busy. There was really no one to spare.

"How about this, each family should stop cooking by themselves, I will be responsible for providing meat, vegetables, and rice, and the big guys will help out together, and those who work can just work.

We girls are responsible for cooking for the whole village, and every household in the province has to fire. After eating, go home and wash up before going to sleep? "

His family is not short of the money.

"The clan provides food, and we are not short of food. This time, it is the job given by the yamen, so we must do it well. It is not good to fight against the yamen, and there will be no good fruit in the future.

Now let’s talk about the assignment of who will dig the road, and the rotation will take place every five days. All the young and old in the village must work, and no one can run away. "

"I'll go for the first round and show it to the people in the yamen, lest he feel that we don't give him face. I'm thinking about the death order from above, otherwise the matter can be solved with money. Is the county magistrate right?" It will be difficult for everyone.”

Zhou Hui was the first to raise his hand. At this time, he must support the order of the patriarch and tell everyone that there are some things that cannot be refused.

"I'm going to the first round too."

Yu Geng also raised his hand.

"I'll go as well."

Gangzi also spoke, he should be the first to support his grandfather's order.

"My family has a lot of men, so I will go too. Isn't it a rotation? The road construction may not be completed for at least two months. Let's take turns."

"Well, we can't delay the autumn harvest. All the people in the village have to do it. This time, it's much harder. Once the road needs to be built, we may not find so many people to work."

"What about the food?"

Only then did the aunts realize that they were impatient, the food is the ration for next year.

"I'll figure out a way to send a letter to Third Uncle. You can still find people at the other end of the farm. There should be people in places where the roads are not built. It will be more expensive to find people now."

Wenwen immediately stood up and spoke. At this time, she was calm and calm, and the proposals she proposed were very reliable.

"Ah."

"There should also be a lot of people in the county who are idle, and they can look for them. It's just a matter of giving more money. It's important to get the food back first. This year's food can't be sold."

Yu Geng frowned and pondered.

"why?"

Some people don't understand that the money for selling grain is a lot of money. Now that there are many ancestral fields in Wangjiacun, besides wine making, grain is sold.

"Think about it, what is the purpose of building a road? I'm afraid there may be a war. This road is for transporting food and grass.

Brother Gengzi was worried that if he sold the grain ahead of time, he would not be able to pay the grain next year. The county magistrate Wang Yi did not allow him to pay for it.

Therefore, this year’s food must not be sold, and we will save it first. Next year, we will make wine if no one wants it, and we may not have enough for ourselves. Our cooking wine sells very well. "

"Oh my God, if you say that, you might have to arrest a strong man. If you go there, you won't be able to come back."

"Don't worry everyone, even if you want to catch a strong man, you can use money to replace it. The clan will pay for it. If it's not enough, let's find a way together."

Zhou Hui spoke again.

"There is no sign of the matter of the young man yet. Why panic? You are in front of your eyes. You go to the county town to find tenant farmers and come back to work. You are not afraid of crowds, but you are afraid that no one will come."

"Daniu and Dali, you two go to the provincial capital to find as many people as you can. We don't have enough people this year."

"Yes."

"Be my family's carriage, the speed must be fast, otherwise not only the price will increase, but the number of people may not be enough."

"Understood, I'll go right now."

"Take the silver, and give the silver on the spot."

Wenwen exhorted.

"got it."

Everyone acted on their own, and the patriarch began to assign people. The first batch of road construction was the hardest, so naturally only the strong laborers came.

The rest of the people, men, women and children, have to go to the fields to collect food, and no one can run away this year.

Even Wenwen's family has hired all the available servants and maids, and she is too busy to help cook the soup herself.

Zhou Hui and Yu Geng were the first to build roads, and they were also setting an example for everyone. If they have fame, they must obey the arrangements, and they can't work against the county magistrate. That would be fruitless.

Another one is that the Wang family also needs to contribute to the clan affairs. If you can't return the money, you will develop problems. The sense of participation is also very important.

Nanny Zhang was in charge of directing the girls to work, and even the work of the workshop was temporarily stopped, because there was indeed not enough manpower.

Wenwen made soup for everyone, sour plum soup, broth, fish soup, and medicine soup came in rotation.

The big kitchen in the ancestral hall is in charge of cooking. Fortunately, brother Shun is also weaned at this time, otherwise he would not be able to provide for him.

Mrs. Wang is responsible for taking care of the children. The two children are tied to her. She can't go anywhere. She can only instruct Wenwen how to make medicinal soup to nourish the tribe.

At this time, we can see the benefits of the clan. Things like road construction have a great impact on the villagers.

There is no high-tech in this era, and road construction depends on people's backs and hands. It takes several months to do it, which is absolutely heavy physical labor.

But the life of every household is not too rich, it is impossible to be full of meat, and even if there is meat, it is not very useful. It is too hard, the body cannot recover, and the follow-up will be exhausted.

Whenever there is a road or city wall being built, the common people will tremble with fright. Many people will really die. This is by no means a joke.

Wenwen also used all her skills to make medicinal soup for everyone to replenish energy and blood, and Grandma Yu at the other end of the ancestral hall took everyone to cook.

The rice grain is provided by the clan, and there is no shortage of grain. All kinds of meat are sent from the farm by Wenwen's people. There is absolutely enough meat.

In addition, the soup made by her supernatural water is changed to give everyone nourishment, and I believe it should be able to overcome this difficulty.

The medicinal soup and meals were cooked that day, and Wenwen was worried and took Xiaoyun to deliver the meals herself.

"time to eat."

The people from Wangjia Village came over one by one to pick up the meal when they saw it.

Wenwen ordered two meals and soup alone, and handed them to Yu Geng, "Send them to the Yamen who are fast, please be polite."

"it is good."

Yu Geng understood what Wenwen meant, and the King of Hades would like to see the little ghost in trouble.

He personally brought the food and sent it over, "Two brothers, our village has made food, you can eat some together, don't dislike home-cooked food."

"Yo! What's the point of this?"

The catcher is responsible for supervising their work, laziness will be whipped and sent to prison, this is no joke.

"Look at what my brothers said, they took good care of our Wangjia Village in the past. Don't be disgusted. Try it. I even brought a sip of wine. The patriarch grandpa asked me to thank you."

"Too polite."

"Brother, let me ask you something. What is the reason for this road construction? We are worried. Will this year's grain still be sold?"

The policeman beckoned to him and sat down together, looked around, but no one was paying attention, so he approached him and whispered: "Don't sell it, keep it, I'm not sure.

But there is a new movement in the court, and it is very likely that there will be a war. There is a lot of trouble ahead, and there are many frictions. The neighboring countries are suspected of provoking troubles and are still making trouble. "

"I see, thank you brother."

Yu Geng was startled.

Today's dishes include wine and meat. The wine is made by himself. Shanmen brought a small pot for the catcher. The meat dishes are also gluttonous. Yu Geng accompanied the catcher after a few mouthfuls and left, feeling full. Hurry up and go to work.

"One bowl of soup per person, everyone has to drink."

Wenwen served soup for everyone. Today, it is sour plum soup, which is also made of supernatural water. It is still hot and sweaty. Drinking a bowl of sour plum soup is very cool.

After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Zhou Hui came over and told, "Go back, don't come tomorrow, these are all gentlemen, don't come girls, just let the boys come, it's too eye-catching."

Although Wenwen covered her face with ointment, her eyes were bright and charming, like beautiful gemstones, which were particularly attractive.

"Oh, I know."

Wenwen responded in a low voice.

 New book collection, subscription, tickets, thank you for your rewards, Chinese New Year is coming, I'm a bit busy, I wish you all good health and success.
