The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 84

His wife glared at him: "You are the one who eats it, how come there is so much nonsense!"

Jingli took a sip of the mushroom soup that only tasted of salt and found it extremely delicious. She couldn't help but say: "Ordinarily, our An family should prepare a good meal, but we don't have the conditions right now. We will definitely have to build a house again in the future. It’s lively and lively.”

Mr. Jing took a sip of soup and sighed contentedly: "It's already very good. We have food and shelter now, and the children are also doing well. Compared with those who can't enter the customs, that's in Fuwowo. La!"

After everyone had dinner, they began to talk about building a house.

The old blacksmith sharpened his knife by the campfire: "During the day, I looked at the soil at the foot of the mountain. In addition to the soil by the river, the soil at the foot of the mountain can be used to make adobes. In addition to little children, we also have a child here. With a hundred and seventy-eight strong laborers, the house can be built before winter."

Guard Shen thought for a while: "Our brothers may not be as good at growing crops as you, but it's no problem to work hard to chop wood and hunt rabbits. Let's divide it into two groups. One group will follow to build the house, and the other group will go up the mountain to chop down trees. It will be safer."

Mr. Jing nodded: "Xiao Shen's arrangement is excellent. Ah Li, what do you think?"

Jing Li pulled the fire: "Right now, we should build houses like tents. We only need to build about ten large houses, which can accommodate all of us, and then we can also pile some food. We don't have to fly away from house to house." "

Before Mr. Jing could speak, Guard Shen spoke first: "Captain, are you afraid that there is not enough money or that we are afraid that we do not have enough manpower? If there is not enough money, our brothers will come here."

Jing Li interrupted him: "Isn't it a matter of money and manpower?"

Mr. Jing couldn't help but ask: "Why is that? You must know that although we all live together now, there is nothing we can do about it for the time being. As time goes by, the ladies will inevitably bite their tongues with their teeth and have some quarrels."

Jingli thought for a moment before speaking: "Even if the house is built now, it will have to be rebuilt when the time comes, so we just have a place to live temporarily and we can rebuild it in the next spring."

"When the time comes, what I want to build is a fortress that can be attacked and defended."

"Wubao?"

Shen Huwei, He Ziyu and Zhu Chengcai were shocked.

But the people in Jingjia Village were full of doubts, what is Wubao?None of them had heard of it.

Shen Huwei said solemnly: "Captain, do you think it is necessary for us to build a fort?"

Jing Li nodded: "It is very necessary. The world is in chaos now, and the fourth prince's fiefdom is safe now. But if the old emperor dies, whoever comes to power will be beaten. There will be no place for peace and quiet."

"What's more, across the river is the territory of the Liao people. This Baishui River cannot stop the Liao people. If the Liao people come over, the imperial court will not be able to help us. The only one we can rely on is ourselves."

Zhu Chengcai glanced at Jing Li with some approval: "What Miss Jing said is very reasonable. The Liao people are barbarians. If they cross the river, they will burn, kill and loot. They will not have the slightest kindness."

Shen Huwei sighed: "That's the truth. There is no peaceful place in this world. If we don't rely on ourselves to create peace, there will be no place for peace anywhere."

Mr. Jing was silent for a moment: "We don't know what this Wubao is, but we are still aware of the dangers outside. Surprisingly, this Wubao can keep us safe, so let's build it according to Ali's wishes." Since it will be rebuilt later. Wubao, for now, it only needs to be built enough for people and animals.

Early on the next morning, the men started felling trees, laying adobe, and digging foundations. The women and their young men went to the river to pull stones back.

The older men and women have opened up some wasteland and planted some winter vegetables such as radishes and cabbage before winter comes.

It was already the end of August. If we had to solve the problem of food and accommodation for so many people before winter came in early October, we would have to work day and night.

Jingli, Dalang, and the others are studying how to improve the trolley and install pulleys on the bottom so that even adults can pull it.

As soon as the cart was successfully tested, Jing Ye ran over sweating profusely: "Sister, go quickly, grandpa is being bullied."

Jingli was shocked, what is going on?Didn’t the old man just find that Wang Lizheng to settle down?The files have already been saved in the county government office. He just registered here. Why is there anything else?
When Jing Li hurried over with Dalang and Wang Dalong, Mrs. Ge and Mrs. Fan were already fighting with others.

"You are the right one, so you should be the king of heaven? The county magistrates in the county have already settled in for us, but they still resist you when we come here. Are you better than the county magistrates? Why don't we call you an adult!" "

"You thing with a donkey head and a cat's mouth, did your mother not give birth to you? How can you be so immoral in doing things? To settle down and write a fortune, you still have to pay half a shilling for each head. A thief can steal money just by relying on his skills, but you are more direct than that robber and just rob."

The old ladies scolded them extremely unpleasantly, to the point of greeting other mothers and making personal attacks.

Wang Lizheng's third son was so angry that he wanted to rush over and beat someone, but as soon as he rushed forward and saw Jing Li's extremely bright face, his anger miraculously subsided.

But his sister, Wang Xiaomei, was watching closely. She knew that her third brother was suffering from lewdness again, and she felt very unhappy. You must know that she was just a flower in this Beishan Village in the past, but since she beat this group of people After arriving, several pretty girls asked the young men in the village to take a peek, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Just when Wang Xiaomei was about to curse, her third brother said a little shyly: "Our Wang family is a big family in the village. My father has been in the government for more than ten years, and he can speak well even in front of the county magistrate. , how can I be greedy for your half-hearted money, but it has always been like this when settling down."

Jing Li sneered: "Then tell me, the imperial court stipulates that you need to pay for settlement and registration. Even if you have to pay it, it should be paid by the county magistrate. How come it is Li Zheng's turn to collect the money?

Wang Lizheng hummed and said: "The county magistrate takes it seriously. I have been here for decades and the rules have always been like this. You foreigners came here with nothing and I gave you the land. What's the matter with charging some money?"

"Even if you make trouble in front of the Fourth Prince, I can still collect the money."

Mr. Jing was furious: "Old man, you are so shameless. Don't you understand the rules when you treat us as strangers? Since His Highness the Fourth Prince has given us the grace to live in peace, how can we let a shameless person like you take away the money?" .”

When Wang Lizheng's second son heard this, he immediately rushed over to beat him, but was slapped back by Jing Li.

"What about foreigners? We are innocent and do not steal or rob. Even if we go to the Fourth Prince, we can make excuses. But I don't know that your king is oppressing people like this. Does His Highness the Fourth Prince know?"
