Chapter 1404 Reach Fu County ([-])

"Then think about it clearly. The village is already a military property, and the people who settle down can only be military households, not civilians. If you don't leave, you will be transferred to military households. There is no discussion."

"Then we..." The village head turned to look at the villagers around him. No one had any superfluous expressions on their faces, as if it didn't matter whether they were transferred to military households or not. "Will being a military household make you full?"

"Yes." Qi Ke nodded without hesitation. It's hard to say whether he can lead them to make a fortune, but it's definitely no problem if they have a full stomach. "I'm Qi Ke, the female devil in your mouth. The Chen family is famous in the imperial court of the capital, and the imperial court knows that I am good at farming, so I am now farming according to the order. I have rented all the land in this village. I don't have too many demands on you, as long as you are obedient, Let me have an account with the imperial court, and I will ensure that you have enough food and dry meals twice a day."

"... two dry meals a day? Really?"

"Really, dry steamed rice, two meals a day, with meat and vegetables, as long as you work hard with me, I will never treat you badly."

The numb crowd finally stirred up, and the villagers who stood far away couldn't help approaching.

"But the ugly words are up front. Since I am a female devil, you should know that the devil does not do good deeds. If you do not satisfy me with your work, you will spit out everything you eat. If you want to be a rascal , I’m not trying to scare you, people in the forced labor camps in the army are terrified, and if a living person goes in and then comes out, it will be a corpse.”

The villagers who were still commotion and excited just now withdrew their feet and retreated rustlingly.

The village chief looked around, feeling bitter in his heart, and swallowed his hoarse voice: "But we are a fishing village here, and the water is bitter. We all rely on hunting small fish and shrimps to exchange rice for salt. What kind of land can be grown here? Woolen cloth?"

"A fishing village has a development path like a fishing village. If you can't grow land, you can fish well. I think the small bay in the village is a natural typhoon shelter. In the future, a wharf will be built to attract passing ships to berth for supplies. The village will soon rise."

"This... that's okay?!"

"Why not? The Chen family themselves are incompetent, occupying such a good fishing village with such good natural conditions but doing nothing. It is a good thing that this old and decaying family has fallen."

The scattered villagers approached again, and this time it was much better than before, with chattering voices.

"Does our village really want to build a pier?"

"I heard that places with docks make a lot of money."

"No, only where there are boats to build docks can we make money. Have we seen boats outside in our village?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen it."

Qi Ke was not at all angry when he heard these voices, and turned his head to face the villagers with a smile, but when the villagers saw her face, they immediately flinched again, and the chattering voices disappeared.

"I have a question, besides your village, are there other fishing villages around?"

"... Yes." The villagers pushed me and shoved you, and it took a while for someone to respond.

"Do you have any contacts with those villagers? Do you chat with each other when you meet them at sea?"

"If you don't talk much, it's good if you don't grab fish. How can you have time to chat?"

"Okay, let me change the question. You have lived here for generations, and you have seen many scenes of heavy wind and rain at sea. Whenever you go out to sea after the storm, do you meet people from neighboring villages and talk about your losses? For example It is said that the boats on the shore will be unlucky when the wind and rain come, and there will always be a few damaged, or simply swept away by the wind and rain, but in our village, because there is a small bay with a natural typhoon shelter, the wind and rain will most damage the house and not damage the boat. .”

"Hey, that's true. Most of our village is repairing houses, and the boats are fine."

"That's right, the small bay in our village is the only one nearby. In other villages, something will always break due to wind and rain."

"I heard that some unlucky people's whole houses were blown down."

"The sea is like this. The boat is more important than the house and the people. It doesn't matter if the house collapses and people are injured, as long as the boat is there."

The villagers chattered, evoking the details they had taken for granted in the past.
