Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

The clan elder was not present when the order was received because of his disability.

The village chief didn't mention it specifically, so the county magistrate didn't send anyone to look for him.

Anyway, the village chief is here and can take charge and represent the small mountain village.

Dozens of villagers were also called, and it seemed like a grand procession. In terms of appearance and substance, all of them could go back.

However, after the big shots left, the village chief Niu Youcai felt himself sweating.

It turned out that he couldn't do this job alone.

When the third uncle arrived at the ancestral hall, the village chief was obviously relieved.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his third uncle and several clan elders breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as they stepped into the ancestral hall, they were dazzled by the mountain of silver on the altar.

Although they had heard of the current emperor, he gave them a new name and rewarded them with a thousand taels of silver.

However, what I heard was far less shocking than what I saw with my own eyes.

"Hi~"

As several people exclaimed in unison, their feet began to tremble and they were so weak that they could hardly stand.

"Be careful!"

The young man next to him quickly supported him.

One by one, the elderly people walked in tremblingly with the help of the young people.

I went to worship in front of the hall first, and then sat down beside it.

The elders and the village chief gathered in a circle, then turned around and abandoned the young people who were watching over them carefully.

"All of you get out, we old folks need to discuss something!"

"Yes!"

"it is good!"

The young men filed out one after another. The last one wanted to close the door, but was stopped by the clan elder.

"Why close the door? You all just need to stay away!"

There is so much silver here, and they themselves are worried about closing the door!

People outside are also anxious!

It would be better to just open the door and let them look wherever they want!

Ye Yaoyao and Meng Huaishao were naturally blocked outside.

Others could not hear the conversation inside the ancestral hall, but Ye Yaoyao could hear it clearly.

She saw the village chief take out the bright yellow imperial edict and open it for the elders to review.

He heard the village chief say that the adults from the palace asked them to cherish this honor.

The elders all nodded in agreement.

This is a reward from heaven, and it only comes once in a generation, so we must cherish it!

The reason why he lost his composure before was simply because he was shocked by the money.

But compared to the thousand taels of silver, the imperial edict and the plaque are the real family honor!

After expressing gratitude and informing the ancestors, they decided to discuss how to divide the money.

Some people suggested splitting it equally, while others felt that was inappropriate.

This money was indeed earned by the hard work of everyone in the village, but the amount of effort each family contributed was more or less different.

If it is divided equally, it will be unfair to those who have contributed more manpower and effort.

And distribution according to work?

Honestly, this is too difficult to define.

Everyone is working hard, so who can say who has contributed more or less?

If the distribution is not satisfactory to others, wouldn't that destroy the unity of the villagers?

They don't want to see a good thing turn into a bad thing.

Ye Yaoyao was listening outside and nodded thoughtfully.

I have to say that the village chief and the elders always think things through.

What if it was her?

I guess we can just divide it by headcount.

After the distribution, every household will have several dozen taels of silver, and their originally tight lives will suddenly become much easier.

The elders of the tribe naturally thought of this idea.

But this matter concerns the entire village.

In addition to those who participated in the war, there were also many people doing logistical support...

After much deliberation, I finally drafted two plans and planned to present them at the meeting in the afternoon and let the villagers vote on the decision.

Ye Yaoyao roughly understood these two plans.

The first option is to divide it all up, dividing the one thousand taels of silver into three parts and giving each person his own share.

Of the total, 800 taels were divided equally among the number of combatants, 100 taels were given to logistics personnel, and 100 taels were used as a subsidy for the seriously injured.

The second option is to divide it in half.

Half of it, that is, five hundred taels of silver, will be divided according to the number of people who participated in the war.

Then, naturally, the logistics personnel would share an equal share of 100 taels, and 100 taels would be used as a subsidy for the seriously injured.

The remaining three hundred taels were allocated to the village as public funds and allocated uniformly.

As for which plan will be finally adopted, or whether a completely new plan will be used, we will have to wait until after the meeting in the afternoon to find out.

The reason why they had to discuss it first was to have more of an idea in mind.

The afternoon meeting went on as scheduled.

It was another exciting conference.

The silver in the ancestral hall was locked up in full view of everyone.

Even so, they were still worried, so they brought two big dogs and locked the door, and then they went to the meeting with peace of mind.

In the small mountain village, if a dog barks at the head of the village, it can be heard clearly at the end of the village, so they don't worry about their house being robbed at this time.

"Village Chief, do we really want to divide this silver?"

"So, everyone can get a share?"

Everyone thought that if the money was divided equally among the forty or fifty households in the village, they would all get one or two hundred taels of silver, and they were almost going crazy with joy!

Those with larger families can get more!

In short, just thinking about it makes me feel so happy!

I feel so happy that I can fly to the sky!

"This silver is the emperor's gift to our small mountain village. Oh, now it should be called 'Zhongyong Village'. The emperor is grateful to the villagers of Zhongyong Village for their bravery in killing bandits. Naturally, we should share it!"

"However, we still need to come up with a rule on how to divide it."

After the village chief finished speaking, the villagers began to discuss it.

As for the one who made the greatest contribution, Xiaoqing, it turned into a small bracelet and hid in Ye Yaoyao's sleeve to listen.

It doesn't usually get this kind of treatment. It has made a great contribution, but its contribution is not yet known to others, so I brought it here specially to feel the atmosphere.

This is a bit unfair to Xiaoqing, but isn't it the same for Ye Yaoyao?

Without their silent dedication, how could we have the joy in the hall today?

However, Ye Yaoyao enjoyed it.

Perhaps, being a great hero would allow you to take all the credit and pocket all the rewards, but what's the point of that?

Of course, it is also possible that he was burned as a demon ╯□╰.

While Ye Yaoyao was daydreaming, the villagers had already reached a general consensus.

The money must be divided!

But, not all of them!

In other words, they chose the second option.

But that’s not entirely true.

"Since everyone has said so, let's divide it according to everyone's opinions."

The village chief's face turned red with excitement, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with the village's decision.

Even said, a little surprised.

"Three hundred taels of silver will be divided equally among the number of people who participated in the battle, one hundred and fifty taels of silver will be divided according to the severity of the injuries, and one hundred taels of silver will be divided equally among those who provide logistics, including children."

"There are still 450 taels left, all of which will be confiscated. 200 taels will be reserved specifically for village construction, and 250 taels will be deposited into the village's collective account to be used to protect the village's expenses."
