Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 211 211 The time has come
Wu Zhen took a group of 20 people from Huangsha City to Taoyuan Village.

These 20 people are all men with big arms and round waists, they are warriors who have experienced many battles, and they are all confidantes of Wuzhen.

"Hey, old Wang, how much grain do you think we can bring back this time? Don't be like last time, just the thousand catties of grain, we'll eat it up on the way back. What's the use?"

"How do I know this? It depends on how much people are willing to give."

"Oh, I didn't say that, now is the critical time for us. If we get food support at this time, we can take the entire Huangsha City [-]% of the time. If we don't get food support, even if we take down Huangsha City, we will defend No way. So I thought to myself, we have to get food this time..."

"Your thinking is dangerous..."

"I don't believe that you haven't thought about it. It's not like you haven't done it in other villages. It's just that other villages are not as rich as this village. Besides, you also took into account that this is the place where the boss was born, so you dare not let it go... ..."

"If you know this, don't talk about it. It all depends on what the boss wants. I feel that this time I should be able to get some more food back."

These two were not the only ones who had similar thoughts. Zhu San, Wu Zhen's confidant who left Taoyuan Village with him, also thought so.

"Boss, what is our charter this time, but we can't drag it on any longer. Those defeated generals are still ruthless. Recently, they seem to be contacting people outside to make trouble. There are always strange shadows swaying outside Huangsha City. , if we don’t seize the opportunity, I’m afraid we won’t have such a good opportunity in the future.”

Wu Zhen glanced at him, his expression unchanged, "Don't worry, I'm still sure, otherwise I won't let you pull into the donkey cart this time."

As soon as Zhu San heard this, he immediately felt that he had a solid foundation in his heart, so he scolded the others to take a good rest and stop talking nonsense.

Wu Zhen looked at the distance alone in a daze.

This is a great opportunity, as long as everything goes well, they will be able to take down Huangsha City completely, take Huangsha City into their pocket, and become the masters of Huangsha City.

But the premise must be grasped.

Although the famine is over now, it is only limited to the fact that it is difficult to die, and the living are still lingering.

When it rains, people can receive water to drink, but not every day. They still have to fetch water from a well or a distant river.

These rains are not enough to make up for the years of drought, and most of the land is still difficult to cultivate, and the harvest will be poor if it is barely planted, and there are not many lands that can produce harvests.

What's more, most people's bodies are very weak, and they can't work and farm all day like in ordinary years. Even if there is land for them to plant, they can't plant much.

More realistically, they don't have good grain seeds, not even old grains that can be grown.

Wu Zhen did have these, but he and his subordinates didn't have enough points, so where did they get more points for other people in Huangsha City?

Their lives are still in dire straits.

That is, the batch of grain they got from Taoyuan Village was made into grain seeds, which gave them a chance to breathe. Otherwise, even if the drought is over, many people in Huangsha City will starve to death.

The previous food can guarantee that people will no longer starve to death, but no amount of food can guarantee it. If you want to do other things and feed more people, you need more support.

Recalling what Mu Yu said to him before, he was sure that she would help, but only at a price.

However, what she charged was only a small part of the price, which was much smaller than the prices charged by other merchant forces.

At least, when he can't prove anything, she is willing to give some food to support him, instead of giving up almost all her future strength like his poor defeated generals, but even a little The most basic trust cannot be obtained.

Thinking of this, he felt a little more confident.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he ordered the others to rest where they were, and went up the mountain with only two confidants who had been taken away from Mrs. Wang. .

Someone was reluctant, "Boss, this is not the first time we have come here, this time let us follow up and pay a visit, and say hello to the village chief and the old man."

"That's it."

There were one or two people who echoed aloud.

They said it was to say hello, but they actually knew what they had in mind.

Wu Zhen stopped them with a cold face, "The villagers here are all my benefactors and your benefactors, don't think I don't know your little thoughts, don't let me hear such words again, otherwise, don't blame me No brotherhood!"

Those few people retreated into the crowd in fright, but they might not have realized their mistake in their hearts.

Wu Zhen is also aware of this, so he has always been able to understand Wang's and Mu Yu's precautions and vigilance, because he himself is also like this.

The three of them walked towards the manor, and suddenly, the person walking beside him tensed up, and made some gestures that only a few of them could understand.

'There are sentries, hard stubble. '

Naturally, Wu Zhen also discovered this.

They also encountered sentries when they came here before, but they were all brought out by him, they were all his own people, and they were friendly when they met them.

Moreover, these sentries are very strong, completely different from the ones he trained some time ago.

He tensed up until an acquaintance emerged from one of these posts and began to shout at him.

"Master Wu? Come on, the village chief has been waiting for you!"

The three of Wuzhen had been on guard against those unfamiliar sentry posts, and those sentry posts were also on guard against them.

"Oh, they are all from our own family. Take it easy, Master Wu. These are the guards that the village chief brought back from outside. Guard Xiao, this is the person the village chief is waiting for."

The two sides have eased up a little.

When Wu Zhen entered the house, the guards stood guard outside the house.

In the room, he looked in shock at the woman who was almost completely different from what he remembered, but soon, from the bones, facial features and familiar expression, he recognized that it was indeed Mu Yu.

"Don't be so surprised, these are small things."

It's really the little things.Wu Zhen said in his heart, but then he asked, "Those guards?"

Could it be that they were specially hired to guard against him?

At this moment, he suddenly lost his confidence.

"When I go out, I always need some people to be safe. They followed me from Jinzhou."

Looking at Master Wu's seemingly relaxed expression, Mu Yu raised the corners of his mouth indistinctly.

"Master Wu is here this time..."

"This time, I want to talk to the village chief about the cooperation I mentioned before."

The smile on Mu Yu's face was even stronger, "This time, has the time come?"

"The time has come."

"Then we cooperate."
