With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

"This is not a long-term solution! Are we going to let the soldiers starve?"

"You can't say that! Can we just watch these poor people suffer?"

"But we also have to consider our own situation. We don't have much food left!"

"Yes, and we have to prepare to move on. We can't take these villagers with us, right?"

The leaders of the camp were troubled by this matter. It was really too difficult and it was a dilemma.

If I take care of the villagers, I won't be able to take care of the soldiers. Besides, we are about to set off, and I can't always take care of these villagers.

Commander Liu was also very melancholy. His conscience would not allow him to abandon these poor people.

But his reason told him that doing so would bring down the team of more than 8 people.

Because these villagers are not temporarily poor due to the disaster.

It is because of the lack of land that poverty has been passed down from generation to generation. Even if there is more food, it cannot fill this hole.

As the saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty, there is some truth to this.

Chief Liu stopped the leaders' argument and said, "Before leaving the village, we have to find a way to do a good job in poverty alleviation so that everyone can live a good life."

A leader thought about it and put forward his own opinion, "There is too little arable land in this area. Why not let the villagers move their families to other places?"

Commander Liu thought about the suggestion and then shook his head.

"This is where their ancestors have lived for generations, and the villagers are definitely reluctant to leave."

For people of this era, the concept of hometown is very important. The land of their hometown is where their ancestors are buried, and they are unwilling to leave their hometown no matter what.

The leaders discussed it for a long time, but in the end they still couldn't come up with a suitable poverty alleviation plan.

While the leaders were having a headache, the villagers had their third meal of white porridge.

This time the porridge is thinner and contains a lot of wild vegetables.

Even so, two large bags of rice were still used, after all, there were too many villagers.

After Wang Jianguo finished picking wild vegetables with the soldiers, he found the instructor Liu Yaowen.

"Instructor, I have some information I want to report to the commander, is that ok?"

Liu Yaowen has a good impression of this newcomer who has just joined the team.

Not only did they rent ships and bring so many supplies, but they also worked really hard, as if they didn't know how to get tired.

But what he didn't know was that the NPC had unlimited physical strength and would not feel tired even if he worked for three days and three nights in a row.

"Okay, is there anything you want to report?"

Wang Jianguo pointed at the villagers who were drinking porridge.

"I heard that the leaders are worried about the villagers' poverty alleviation. I have traveled all over the country in recent years and have some opinions on this aspect. I want to report to the leaders."

Liu Yaowen patted him on the shoulder with admiration in his eyes, "What a good comrade! I'll take you to see Chief Liu."

Commander Liu, who was deep in thought, stood up and shook hands with the man when he saw him coming.

"Comrade Wang! What's the matter?"

Commander Liu was very grateful to the man who lent the boat to their troops. When he heard that he was also joining the Red Army, he liked him even more.

Wang Jianguo shook his hand back and said, "Commander Liu, I have some opinions about Bina Village and I want to talk to you about them."

When Chief Liu heard this, he was delighted and moved a stool over from the side.

"Okay, okay! Come, let's sit down and talk."

In the Red Army, the leaders never had the final say.

The leaders will listen patiently to any ideas and suggestions from the soldiers below.

Wang Jianguo began to speak, following the script that Zhou Yue had prepared for him in advance.

"Chief, what do you think is the root cause of the villagers' poverty?"

Chief Liu had thought about this problem a long time ago. "The root cause is that there is no arable land. People can't grow food, so naturally they live a hard life."

Wang Jianguo continued, "I think that in order to get rich, besides planting, animal husbandry is also very important."

"Aquaculture?"

Chief Liu's eyes lit up. He had discussed this with other chiefs for a long time, but no one had ever mentioned this idea.

His tone was a little anxious, "Tell me in detail."

"I used to do business with others and went to many places. In some places, there was too little arable land, so I chose to do breeding, raising some pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. The money from the sales every year could buy a lot of food!"

Chief Liu nodded as he listened, "This is indeed a good idea. What do you think is suitable for this village to raise?"

“Raising rabbits.”

"Raising rabbits? Why?"

Wang Jianguo took Chief Liu for a walk around the village.

"When I was picking wild vegetables just now, I found that although there is little arable land here, there are a lot of weeds growing in these ditches and bumps."

Wang Jianguo also made up a distant relative.

"I have a distant relative who raises rabbits. You don't need to feed them grain, just grass. Rabbits grow fast and can be sold after a few months. Rabbits can also give birth. They can give birth to a litter of seven or eight rabbits a month. Rabbit meat is tender and delicious, so it can definitely be sold at a high price."

Chief Liu listened to his words, nodded, and began to get excited.

This is a good idea! If the villagers raise rabbits, they will definitely be able to get rid of poverty and become rich!

But suddenly he thought of another question, "But where did this rabbit come from?"

This place is remote, dozens of kilometers away from the county town, and there may not be anyone selling rabbits in the county town.

When Chief Liu thought about this problem, his excited heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water. It seemed that such a good idea would fail!

"Commander Liu, I apply to withdraw from the Long March."

When Chief Liu heard this, his eyes widened and he was filled with surprise.

"Why is this?"
