Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 220 Chapter 220
Mu Yu got the cooperation of Wu Zhen, and after discussing with the housekeeper, he simply set the rules.

Women and children rest and receive food on the left side of the city gate, and men and old people rest and receive food on the right side of the city gate.

It is impossible for everyone to abide by the rules, and they can't control everyone, they can only guarantee the interests of some people as much as possible.

Today is considered a transition. After the victims receive a portion of porridge, they will find people who are willing to do things to lead the Wotou, and let these people help build thatched huts and nail down wooden stakes to divide the area.

With the incentive of food, the work went very smoothly. At the end of the day, more than 40 straw huts have been set up, which is enough to accommodate three to 400 people. This is an ideal state, and it is already very good to accommodate 200 people. up.

This is not bad. If we can build so many more tomorrow, we will be able to accommodate most of the victims.

The wages for this day were one cornbread per person, and a total of two baskets of [-] or [-] were sent out.

That is to say, there are only 600 or [-] people who come to work. Among the disaster victims who gather within the range of hearing and contact, say at least [-] people, only a quarter of them are willing to do things. .

The rest of the people, except for the old, the sick and those who have to take care of the old and the sick, still have a considerable part of them who are indifferent to it.

Mu Yu was a little worried about the existence of these people, Wu Zhen told her not to worry, these people couldn't make waves.

……

Mu Yu handed matters outside the city to the housekeeper and a few guards, and then wandered around the city. Wu Zhen was busy trying to win people's hearts, pointing her to two confidantes to lead the way and answer questions.

As she walked, she thought, now that Huangsha City has basically settled down, it is time to develop production and restore self-sufficiency.

The most important thing is of course food, but it is not yet time for this. It will take another two months to harvest this crop and plant the next crop. Besides, the manpower has not been recruited yet, so I can't think about it for the time being.

Other necessary materials that cannot be produced can be transported from Yuanshan Town or even Bazhou. There are really not many industries that can be developed in Huangsha City.

Weaving is one thing, and it doesn’t have to be very good. The coarse linen worn by ordinary people is fine. The main purpose is to make them self-sufficient and give women a way to go.

After thinking about it, there are still a few ways, but it is difficult for these people to develop now, and it is not necessary, so I temporarily gave up.

It's better to let them grow food honestly. The food grown in Taoyuan Village and Yuanshan Town is far from enough. Coupled with the two thousand people in Huangsha City in the future, it can relieve a lot of pressure.

She asked the two people who led the way about the loom and the embroidery workshop. Neither of them paid much attention to it. After asking someone, she found out that there was an embroidery workshop. The machines are still there.

A few people went to the embroidery workshop together to have a look. The sides were in a mess, the items were lying here and there, and there were layers of cobwebs and dust.

There are dozens of looms, and they don't seem to be seriously damaged, so they should still be usable.

She asked the two of them if they could get fifty women from outside to come in and reopen the embroidery workshop.

The two people following her were Zhu San and Wang Lao Liu. They got Wu Zhen's order, saying what she wanted to do, and as long as it would not affect the safety of Huangsha City, let her do it.

Bringing in fifty women was obviously a trivial matter in their eyes, so they naturally readily agreed.

After getting the consent, Mu Yu sent someone to go out of the city to tell the butler about it, and asked him to bring him in tomorrow.

The butler was reliable in his work, and when Mu Yu arrived at the embroidery workshop the next day, everything was completely new.

The dust and cobwebs are gone, and the messy items are placed neatly, especially the dozens of looms, with fifty women standing aside, ready to start work at any time.

"They temporarily live in the two courtyards next to the embroidery workshop, and their food is temporarily the same as that of other disaster victims who came to the city. Seventy percent of the people here know how to weave, and the remaining [-]% are people who know how to weave at home. You can get used to it.”

"You arrange these."

Leaving the affairs of the embroidery workshop to the butler, ignoring the numb eyes of those women, she walked towards the military camp where Wu Zhen was located.

I don't want to go back to the house, every time she goes back, Jinyu looks at her eyes from hope to disappointment, which is also very embarrassing.

It's strange to say that Jinyu's husband and the others have not been found. They have separated long ago. Maybe the other party has been around Huangsha City and gone to other places, but the people who were with Jinyu before have not been found yet. It's strange to come.

At the beginning, besides Qiuyu Qiuxue, there were other people who followed Jinyu, but they were not selected together. The steward told them that they would come to Huangsha City to collect food, so they had no reason not to follow.

From there to Huangsha City, it took less than a day to ride a horse, and it took two or three days to walk. Now this is the fourth day, why is there no movement at all?
She also deliberately asked the guards to pay attention to this, but found nothing. Maybe she really needs to talk to Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen didn't have a good solution for this, he only promised to send more people to do it.

"Now, Huangsha City is completely under our control."

This is what he promised before, as long as he gets the food, he can take down Huangsha City in a few days, and now he has really done it.

What else could Mu Yu say when he said the word "Congratulations"?

The two smiled at each other.

……

At this time, outside Huangsha City, there were corpses all over the ground, and a maniac man frantically shook the collar of a dead corpse.

"Where did you get my wife?! Where did you get my wife!?"

A few people stood not far away, looking at this scene quite unbearably, but no one stepped forward to say anything.

Finally, the person who went to dig up the corpse came back with two female corpses on his shoulders. Several people hurriedly stopped them and asked in a low voice, "Is it the patriarch's wife?"

"No, they are the eldest and third daughters of the Huang family."

The few people breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that what they dug up was the body of the patriarch's wife, and that the patriarch, who had reached the end of their strength, might really not be able to hold on.

"Hey, why didn't your fifth brother come back together?"

"Fifth brother's daughter-in-law's love purse is on the eldest daughter of the Huang family."

Before marriage, men and women of the Qu nationality will exchange love purses, which are very important items for them. Women will wear them next to their bodies and never leave their bodies. However, if a woman’s purse is found on someone else, it means that the woman is likely to have an accident. up.

In the current situation, something is bound to happen.

There was silence.

After an unknown amount of time, a terrified begging for mercy broke the silence.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I didn't kill those women! It has nothing to do with me! Don't kill me! I, I know where that pregnant woman went!"

The mad-looking man with red eyes picked up the victim who was pretending to be dead, "Where is she?"

"I don't know, they sold her to a passing caravan..."

"Where!?"

"They said they were going to Huangsha City...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

After a burst of screams, everything returned to silence.
