After congratulating the sick seedlings, I have twins

Chapter 81 Your vision is too small

The villagers had nothing to do when they saw the village chief, and they stopped talking for a while. A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, and there is no one in their hearts who does not scold the court and the emperor for being fatuous.

This is simply eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the common people.

"village head."

Gu Ci came from a distance, and he probably heard what they were saying clearly. It was nothing more than a war, so they had to collect food, but in this way, the people would suffer.

"Gu Ci, why are you here? Did you also hear about the grain requisition?"

Because Xie Sining helped the villagers increase their harvest a few days ago, he has gained a lot of reputation in the village. In addition, Gu Ci's family has a large estate, so he was able to talk in the village before, and the village head respected him a lot. point.

"I've come a long way, and I've heard something. The imperial court suddenly wants to collect grain. Could it be that there is a war?" Village Chief Gu Ci sighed, and said: "It is said that there is going to be a war in the south, and now it is grain collection. I'm afraid there will be conscription for a while..."

Speaking of this matter, a dark cloud seemed to hang over everyone's heads, and it was true that they lost all interest.

Everyone is tightening their belts for food collection, and maybe they can get through it after a while, but if it is conscription...

It’s okay to be voluntary, but if young men are forced to enlist in the army, the only pillar of the family will be taken away, and this life will be completely impossible!
"This is trying to force us to death!" Some women in the crowd were already crying, and this one started to cry, and even the other women wiped away their tears. The men also bowed their heads and couldn't say anything.

Seeing everyone's dejected looks, the village chief quickly said: "You don't need to be so dejected, it's just a rumor now, who knows if it's true, maybe it's a rumor."

"When the tax was increased last time, some people said it was a rumor." A villager spoke.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence again.

Seeing the big guy like this, Gu Ci opened his mouth and said: "Whether it's a rumor or not, it's just a rumor now. Even if it is really necessary to conscript, according to the law of my court, men with no successors in their families will not be conscripted into the army. .”

Once a man joins the army, he is at the mercy of life and death. Therefore, the general conscription is for those who have two men in their families, or one of father and son, or one of brothers. If there is only one man in the family, they don't have to participate.

After Gu Ci said this, many families with only one man were secretly relieved, but those with sons were worried.

"So, Gu Ci, isn't your family also..." The village head suddenly remembered that Gu Ci had a son, and Gu Ye would not be caught as a young man, but Gu Ci was hard to say.

If he was still blind before, he should be able to avoid disaster, but now his eyes are healed, if the conscription is true, Gu Ci must not be able to escape.

Gu Ci didn't speak, he also thought about this matter, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Xie Sining who just came over.

She came by coincidence, and happened to overhear the conversation between him and the village head verbatim. At this time, she had no expression on her face, and walked forward slowly.

When the village chief saw Xie Sining coming, he was hesitant to speak. He glanced at Gu Ci who was looking at her, but he didn't say what came to his lips in the end.

"I saw that you haven't come back after being out for so long, so I came here to have a look. Your injuries are still not healed, it's not appropriate to stand outside for too long, you should go back quickly." Xie Sining didn't mention anything else, just caring about his body.

After hearing this, Gu Ci also nodded, and then bid farewell to the village chief and others, and the two went home together.

When Xie Sining returned home, he didn't mention those things, he just went to get a small stove to warm his hands, and asked Gu Ci to hold it in his hand.

"Recently, it's getting colder and colder. You have injuries on your body, so you shouldn't catch a cold. I got you a hand warmer. You can hold it in your hand if you're fine. It's easy to get sick if you warm it up."

Xie Sining has become more and more careful towards him these days, Gu Ci can feel it, thinking about what she just said outside, she obviously heard it, but she didn't say a word when she came back, so he held her back hand.

"Those are just rumors, they don't necessarily mean a war." He said to her very seriously with a little light in his eyes, afraid that she would worry about it.

Xie Sining looked at him, seeing him think so seriously to reassure herself, she burst out laughing.

"You don't have to do it to make me feel at ease. With your body, you are really going to go to war, and they don't need you to go." What she said was half true and half false.

Because of this requisition of food and soldiers, even the Gu family was shrouded in a faint cloud of gloom.

The sky had already darkened, and there was a hint of chill in the night smudged with thick ink. Xie Sining withdrew his thoughts and took out the dishes made by Zhao Pan from the cupboard. Hiding things, especially Gu Ci's tasteless food.

Little Gu Ye glanced at the two of them, and seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the room was a bit dignified, and he was eating quietly, and he was very well-behaved today.

After eating, let Gu Ye practice calligraphy and then go to bed to rest, while Xie Sining pushed the door into the study and asked, "Did the village chief say that there is still food to be collected?"

Xie Sining who was sitting in front of the desk nodded silently.

Xie Sining frowned!It was quiet again in the study.

Leaving aside the subsequent conscription, let’s talk about the imminent food requisition. Now it’s winter, how can we grow food? A few days ago, the imperial court suddenly increased the tax by [-]%. Previously, we barely survived the difficulty by relying on the space water in the space. It's hard to be more stable, and now it's collecting food again...

Now that the New Year is approaching, is the imperial court trying to take away all the food left in the hands of the people?
But what about this time?If things go on like this, people in the village will not be able to eat, and the peace and harmony in the past will no longer exist. I am afraid that the prostitution that I saw in the history books in my previous life will happen soon.

The village is chaotic, how can they feel at ease living here?The frown became tighter and tighter, full of worry, she stood in the study and looked at the dark night outside the window, and sighed, it was space water before, but space water has limited capacity after all, there is still soil in the space.

If the space soil is taken out, can it be topped?
She began to think about it, the space soil is naturally better than the space water taken out earlier.

Space water is just to speed up the growth of crops, and this space soil... She accidentally discovered that the space soil can send out food at any time, and the harvest is extremely fast. If the space soil is taken out, will it help the people to survive? Difficulty?

She was full of thoughts, frowning, and stood by the window with her hands behind her back.

Gu Ci recovered from his own thoughts, he saw the woman standing in front of the window at a glance, he took a deep breath and walked forward, stopped beside her, and comforted him.

"Isn't it just for food now? There should be some time to wait for the conscription. Even if you really want to conscript, you don't have to worry about it." Gu Ci thought that Xie Sining was worried about whether he would be dragged into the army, so he comforted him in a low voice .
