Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 215 Chapter 215

The drought year is over, but food is still a scarce commodity, and this will not change in the next few years.

Even in Bazhou and Jinzhou in the south, where the soil is more fertile, the price of common grains is still two to three times the normal price a few years ago.

But in Huangsha City, it is clear that the famine has not completely ended. Only the soldiers can eat enough, and the others just maintain a state of starvation, not to mention these victims wandering around Huangsha City. Their lives and Famine is no different.

It is unimaginable that this scene still exists more than a year after the end of the drought.

Mu Yu was not surprised. She came to ask Wu Zhen just to know if there was a good way to deal with it. After all, it is quite dangerous to leak money and food to the victims in the wild.

Those women and children are very poor, a few bags of food can save them, but if the price of saving them is putting themselves in danger, then forget it.

It's okay to make plans when they arrive in Huangsha City, but I don't know if these women and children can wait until then.

Mu Yu has her own ideas, and Wu Zhen also has his own.

He was quite embarrassed when asked this question, Mu Yu was thinking about safety issues, and he was thinking about some not-so-easy questions derived from his experience and knowledge.

There are more than [-] people in Huangsha City, and there are more than [-] soldiers under his command, only [-] elites, and [-] confidants.

Except for the hundred elites, the rest of the fighters have a complex composition. Some are soldiers, some are bandits, some are criminals, some are businessmen, some are farmers, and some are slaves. them.

What's more, after three or four years of severe famine, after a year of cannibalism like raising Gu, the order and etiquette have long since collapsed, and now they are not so much an army as a group of bandits .

Of course, other places during the famine years may not be much better than them.

To lead this team well, in addition to power, he must also be able to bring benefits to these followers. At least, he must not deprive them of the few enjoyments left.

Grain is naturally the hard currency at this time, but the quantity is not large, and it can only fill people up.

Gold, silver, jade, etc., were attractive at the beginning, but over the past few years, they have become easier to use, unless there are large boxes of rewards.

Then the rest, of course, are women.

Wu Zhen himself is not feminine, but other people are not, not even his confidantes.

He can guarantee that there will be no robbery of civilian girls in Huangsha City, but in fact, there is no need to rob, a little food can get them what they want.

In addition, every time Huangsha City absorbs disaster victims into the city, the soldiers in charge will more or less use this power to choose a few women for themselves.

The same is true every time soldiers are sent out to do tasks.

As long as he doesn't go too far in this kind of thing, he has always turned a blind eye to it.

Just like now, those disaster victims want to exchange women for food, and they have done so before.

But this kind of thing, how can he talk to a young girl like a big bastard?Even when he was with Mrs. Wang, he was not able to say such things.

But now, besides him, who else can say this for him, but two female warriors followed, but these two, a man who competes with each other, and a rectum who competes with each other, how can they understand these twists and turns? ?
Wu Zhen was very confused.

The two looked at each other, each with their own entanglements, but completely irrelevant.

In the end, Mu Yu, who had a slightly higher EQ, sensed something was wrong, and changed his words.

"I know it's risky to give food to the victims at this time, but those women and children are really pitiful. I saw that the people on your side seem to have changed a few people back. I wonder if there is something to say, it's okay to change a few less?"

Wu Zhen: ...

There's nothing to say, these perverts are reincarnated, he has to give them a good lesson when they go back!
"...Uh, indeed, if you only change a few people, it's usually not a big problem."

Mu Yu nodded, "I see, then just choose a few to change."

Wu Zhen paused for a while, and then said, "Girl, don't be too friendly, exchanging food for people is a business, and giving food for free is kind-hearted. It's nothing to buy and sell, but if they find out that you are kind-hearted, they will all pester you, then That's the trouble."

"I see."

Mu Yu went back to her own camp. Outside her tent were the tents of the guards. Those victims were stopped as soon as they reached the range of the guards. The guards came back and informed her of the situation.

Originally, there was no doubt about this kind of thing. Usually, it would be stopped by the housekeeper, and it would not be heard in her ears to disturb her at all.

But this time something was different. Among the group of women and children, there was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth.

What's more, Mu Yu's attitude towards the victims in the past two days made the housekeeper hesitate, so after some hesitation, she said it out for her to make a decision.

After getting to know Mu Yu for several months, the steward already had some understanding of Mu Yu's character, and knew that she was not the kind of kind-hearted person who would save people regardless of the circumstances, so there was nothing to worry about.

Moreover, the human heart is fleshy. If you have no loss to yourself, just save it if you can. These people are really pitiful.

Seeing Mu Yu come back, the housekeeper immediately came up to him and asked, "Master, what did Master Wu say, can these people be saved?"

"A few words are fine. You said just now, how many people are there to ask for it?"

"Oh, there must be fifteen or sixteen, seven or eight women, seven or eight children, if you can only change a few, let me think about it..."

From Mu Yu's side, she could see a few disaster victims kneeling and begging not far away, but those victims couldn't see her here.

"The person who brought them here said that it's okay for those women to change for just one night..." So you can change a few children...

Before the butler could say this, he was speechless by Mu Yu's eyes, which were terrifying, even more terrifying than when he was working beside Master Yuan.

Mu Yu closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, knowing that she was venting her anger, the housekeeper's thoughts were not wrong at this time.

It's just that we are both women, there are some things...

"Forget it. The day after tomorrow, Huangsha City will receive the victims and give out porridge. By that time, they will be saved. Go and choose a few people who may not be able to survive by then to stay, and then tell the news to those who were not selected. Those people, let them go to Huangsha City."

"Yes."

The housekeeper left, wiped off his sweat, collected his thoughts, and went outside to the tent.

"Masters, look at it, can you change it?
These women and dolls are all in good health. They only need twenty catties of food, and you can take twenty catties with them. "
