Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

"No..." The village chief's smile froze instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But as soon as he said this, the village chief noticed Chu Ci's half-smile, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "What should the villagers do?"

This is really trying to take advantage of everything. Chu Ci smiled and asked, "Does anyone in the village know how to tame a wild boar?"

The village chief was speechless. After a long while, he stammered, "What does the young lady mean?"

"Our Fan family can help with domestication, but if the villagers want to sell the wild boars, the Fan family must be given priority." Chu Ci's request was simply to tie Jingtian Village and the Fan family together.

In this way, he, the village chief of Jingtian Village, really became a manager of the Fan family.

"Can you consider another approach?" the village chief asked tentatively.

Chu Ci was not angry, and still smiled: "This is simple. Even if the first generation of wild boars are domesticated, their attack power is still very strong. You can wait for a while and directly buy the piglets born by domesticated wild boars. This will be safer."

The second method is of course better, but the village chief focuses on the word "purchase". "Can I ask how much silver a piglet costs?"

"This requires a specific analysis of the specific situation, but please rest assured, Village Chief, the price is definitely the cost price." Chu Ci's words were very beautiful, but there was almost no substantive content that the village chief wanted to hear.

The village chief hesitated for a long time: "How about choosing the first option?"

Chu Ci heard this and smiled slightly, saying, "Village chief, there is no need to rush to make a choice. You can discuss it with the villagers first."

"By the way, count the number of people who can go up the mountain. Remember, they must be people who can protect themselves. Even people from other villages can do that. We can't ignore human lives just to make money. Village chief, do you understand what I mean?"

The village chief was slightly startled when he heard this, "Young Madam, I'm afraid this matter is difficult to control."

Chu Ci was stunned when he heard this, and then he was deeply saddened. I am afraid that in Yazhou, or in this era, human life is the least valuable.

"You go back first, I'll see if I can work out a charter."

The village chief sneered at Chu Ci's wild ideas in his heart, but he didn't say much. He had to let this kind-hearted young lady suffer a little so that she would understand that kindness is not something that can be expressed casually.

The village chief sneered secretly while thinking about how to deal with Chu Ci in the future, or simply use some means to seize the recipe for taming wild boars.

Thinking about the future that Chu Ci had planned for Jingtian Village, the village chief became more and more excited.

Therefore, when the pig-killing banquet began, everyone ate with relish, except the village chief who was absent-minded.

It was not until the village chief's youngest son saw his father pick up a piece of ginger and put it in his mouth that he said, "Dad, Dad, why did you pick up a piece of medicine? This thing is spicy and can't be eaten."

The village chief finally came back to his senses from his deep thoughts, "This is not..."

The village chief's youngest son nodded, "It's just as Dad thought. The Fan family is indeed special. They can use medicine to remove the fishy smell of wild boar meat. Ordinary people can't learn it."

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing the village chief's heart. "Secret recipe! Then..." Doesn't that mean there is no chance of implementing my plan at all?

The younger son didn't understand why his father was so excited, and continued, "The Fan family is a noble family. Isn't it normal for a noble family to have a few secret recipes? Dad, why are you so excited?"

While the youngest son was talking, only a little soup was left in the pot of big bones. The youngest son immediately became anxious, "Whatever makes you so excited, eat the meat now, or you will be hungry tomorrow, don't blame your son for not reminding you."

The three words "hungry" are absolutely powerful, and the village chief finally realized what he had missed.

Just then, the basin of big shanks was removed and a plate of greasy and fragrant fried sausages was served. The village chief was about to pick up his chopsticks when he heard: "Our young lady said that everyone can take one sausage home if they don't want to eat it, but don't eat more. Otherwise, if there is too much oil and water and you get diarrhea, don't blame us for not reminding you."

At this time, everyone turned around and found that the people serving the dishes were all the servants of the Fan family. Well, they should be grateful for the food they received, especially since they were eating and taking.

Although a sausage is only about one finger long, for the villagers who often do not eat meat, even if it is chopped into small pieces, it can be considered a meat dish.

Be obedient, absolutely obedient.

So, the village chief had no idea how to taste the food before. Now he could only look at it but not eat it, which made him very confused. He didn't even notice that there were several inquiring eyes watching him from the beginning to the end of the meal.

Even after the banquet, several people gathered together and asked, "What did the young lady of the Fan family say to the village chief that made him so worried that he couldn't even eat meat?"

Some people were very curious: "Does the village chief want to catch wild boars? I wonder how much one boar would be worth?"

But this was just an accident, and it instantly aroused everyone's enthusiasm. Money, for ordinary people like them who can't save much money all year round, being able to have a way to make money is definitely a big deal.

Therefore, without the need for the village chief to publicize it deliberately, in less than an hour, almost everyone in Jingtian Village knew that catching wild boars could be exchanged for money.

When the village chief finally prepared himself mentally and called the villagers together, everyone was already impatiently waiting.

Before the village chief opened his mouth, the impatient man shouted, "Village chief, just tell me, how much does the Fan family pay for a wild boar?"

"Don't be anxious. The Fan family is taking in wild boars, but there are conditions." The village chief was helpless, but he couldn't go against everyone. However, he deliberately stopped when it came to the critical moment.

At this time, no matter how anxious everyone was, they had to control their temper and stay quiet.

The village chief then cleared his throat solemnly and said, "The Fan family not only collects wild boars, but is also willing to help tame them so that everyone in Jingtian Village can eat meat in the future..."

The village chief was well versed in the art of making big promises, so whether it was the different prices of live and dead pigs, or the different plans provided by Chu Ci, they were all exaggerated by the village chief.

The requirement that people who go up the mountain to catch wild boars must have the ability to protect themselves was put last by the village chief. "Now let's talk about the last point, which is also the most important point. That is, you can go up the mountain to catch wild boars, but you must have enough ability to protect yourself."

Sufficient self-protection ability, this range is too broad. This made the people present very dissatisfied. "Village head, what kind of people are considered to have sufficient self-protection ability?"

"That's right, the monkey runs fast. But can he catch the wild boar?"

Being personally attacked, the monkey couldn't take it anymore: "That's better than Erniu delivering food to the wild boar!"

Erniu was just making an analogy, and he didn't expect to be insulted like that. He immediately got angry. He waved his fist and rushed forward. "Ah, you stupid monkey, why do you say I was delivering food to wild boars..."
