Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune
Chapter 140: Going up the mountain, two villagers quarreled
"No, not a single grain of grain from the grain store has been requisitioned. To be honest, all the grain stores in Liuzhou are owned by one family.
I heard that the owner has a powerful background, so no one dared to attack this grain store during this grain collection."
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he felt a little bitter in his heart.
Reality is so cruel. When the imperial court is in trouble, the people at the bottom of society are always the ones who stand up to the enemy.
On the contrary, no one dares to touch those who are truly powerful.
This time, even the government's grain supplies were used as military pay, and no one dared to touch the grain store.
The county magistrate had been in office for so long, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Even the stored grain of government offices at all levels had to be used to make up the number, and they dared not touch the grain store.
This shows how powerful the power behind this grain store is.
"Alas, I just hope that not too many people starve to death."
The county magistrate muttered quietly, he knew that a lot of people would die this time.
After Su Lao Da and Su Lao Er returned to the village, they told the village chief the news they had heard, and the whole village was immediately filled with grief.
If nothing unexpected happens, the price of food in this town will probably rise again.
Sure enough, the next day, villagers who had returned from the town brought news.
The price of brown rice sold in grain stores has now reached 38 wen per pound, and the price of wheat has risen to 40 wen per pound.
Every villager sighed and said, "I'm afraid we can't survive. There are still two or three months before the harvest. What should we do?"
"Yes, there are still nearly three months left. Now there is no rice or flour left at home. What should we do?"
People at the entrance of the village gathered together chatting.
"This grain store is so unscrupulous that it dares to sell at such a high price. Why doesn't the government care?"
A man nearby sighed and said, "Who dares to care? I came back from town today, and heard a passing merchant tell others that the grain store was opened by the family of the current imperial concubine."
The man spoke in a very low voice.
But everyone present heard it, and did not dare to discuss royal affairs.
"Let's go to the back hills later. I think the wild vegetables should be growing by then."
Someone sighed, left without staying.
Seeing this, the others hurried home to pick up their tools and planned to go to the back mountain to have a look. If they went too late, there might not be even a hair left.
Su's old house
"I think we should stop doing this business for now. There is no food now. Every household is worried about food."
As soon as Qin Meijuan finished speaking, she was glared back by Boss Su.
The Su Laoer and his wife also shook their heads in disagreement.
"Let's not talk about the fact that we still have some orders to complete, let's just say our factory's business stops.
That means we have no money, and now we can earn some money and exchange it for some food."
The second son's wife doesn't indulge the woman in front of her. Ever since Old Lady Su and Old Man Su left, this sister-in-law has been acting like the grandmother in charge.
He wants to get involved in everything, but he can't do anything well.
However, early the next morning, Su Laoer decided to give everyone two days off.
There were already quite a few people on the mountain early that morning, and some women were searching for wild vegetables and mushrooms with their children.
Many men also gathered together and walked into the mountains, hoping to try their luck and find some wild rabbits, pheasants, etc.
Now the entire Taoliu Village is basically not afraid of those wild wolves and tigers.
Su Lao Er and Su Lao Da even took a few good friends from the village to the mountains.
Little Wolf and Little Gray followed.
When Su Muyao and the others left, they wondered if they could take root there. If not, they might return to Taoliu Village.
Of course it was not convenient to take the little wolf away along the way, so the little wolf was left in the village.
When Long Yuan left, he also left Xiao Hui in the village.
Ever since Su Muyao left, Little Wolf felt a little listless.
Ever since Su Laoer read the letter that Su Muyao sent some time ago to the little wolf, it has gradually gotten better.
The letter said that the wolf would be back in two months and take the little wolf to the capital. The little wolf could understand human language, so after hearing this, he became much more energetic.
But Xiao Hui was different. He didn't seem to care about his master at all. After Long Yuan left, he entrusted Xiao Hui to Su Laoer.
On the first day Little Gray came home, he not only showed off his own bowl of food, but also ate the bowl of food from Little Wolf as well.
The owner's absence did not affect his appetite at all.
There was not a single hunter in the entire Taoliu Village, let alone a bow, so the two brothers of the Su family went up the mountain with wooden pitchforks and machetes.
The few of them had also thought it through. If they encountered a large animal like a wild boar, they would have to work together to surround it from different directions, then find a way to reduce the encirclement and then hack it to death with a machete.
The two brothers of the Su family thought that the two wolves might take action. Even if Little Gray would not, Little Wolf would definitely take action.
The other villagers who went up the mountain just greeted each other and then went their separate ways, tacitly staying away from the activity areas of other teams.
The two brothers of the Su family walked all the way towards the deep mountains. On the way, they met several villagers who came to the mountains early in the morning to look for wild animals.
I saw that they were holding a pheasant and two hares in their hands.
Although there was only one pheasant and two rabbits for so many people, and each person might only get one or two pieces of meat, it was still good.
During this time, Tiedan's father said to Su Laoer: "We have already searched all over this side. If you want to find wild animals, you have to go further inside."
Someone in the Su brothers' team said, "It will be easy to encounter wolves if we go further in."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
His brother slapped him on the back of the head and said, "You idiot, there are two wolves in our team."
The man who was speaking suddenly reacted, scratched his hit head, and laughed.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about that."
Just as I continued walking forward, I realized that there was actually a large group of people at the innermost part.
"Aren't these people from Liujia Village? Why are they here?"
The leader on the opposite side is called Liu Fu, and everyone from the neighboring village has seen him more or less!
At this time, Li Fu and others happened to see the villagers of Taoliu Village. The people of the two villages had some grudges against each other, and they were particularly jealous of each other when they met.
"Oh my, is there no mountain in your village? You are so shameless to run to the mountain of our Taoliu Village."
When the villagers of Liujia Village heard this, they were naturally dissatisfied. One of the scoundrels stood up, pointed at the man who had spoken and retorted: "What's the matter? Is this your mountain or your land? What do you care whether we come or not?"
"If you have the guts, just buy this mountain. If you buy it, we will naturally stop coming here. Don't you agree?"
Everyone in Liujia Village was cheering, "That's right, if you have the guts, just buy it! Your village is just a little closer to the mountain, how can it become yours? How shameless."
The people in Taoliu Village naturally cursed back, and they started arguing with each other.
