Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

The affairs in the village were almost dealt with before everyone remembered to ask Han the Hunter why he suddenly put on armor and brought back a team of people?

No one knew what was going on because they didn't have a close relationship with Han Liehu.

No one knows who Han Liehu is closely associated with.

But Xia Shengsheng knew!

Doctor Zhao must be the one who knows Han the Hunter's identity best.

Looking at Doctor Zhao's discussion with the villagers, who seemed unknown, Xia Shengsheng had actually guessed it in her heart.

Han Liehu should be a minor general, but she didn't know how high his official position was.

Before, he and Doctor Zhao lived in hiding in this Kaoshan Village. Maybe it was because he offended the people in power.

This time, the imperial court needed people, so Han Liehu began to lead troops to fight again.

Because I was concerned about Doctor Zhao's safety, I came back to see him on the way to the northwest, which happened to help everyone a lot.

Speculations are just speculations, but they cannot be confirmed.

Xia Shengsheng also secretly asked Doctor Zhao, but Doctor Zhao kept evading the question and never told the truth.

Xia Shengsheng had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, Hunter Han arrived in time this time, so the village did not suffer any major losses.

But in the future, when faced with such things, it is best for everyone to take precautions in advance.

So when everyone was still discussing Han Liehu's identity.

Xia Shengsheng has found the village chief Ma. His first goal is to ask him why the bandits suddenly attacked their village.

Second, she had some ideas that needed to be discussed with the village chief.

The village chief never treated Xia Shengsheng as an outsider. Even if Xia Shengsheng didn't come to him, he would still find Xia Shengsheng to talk about this matter.

"It has been peaceful here for many years! There have never been any bandits causing trouble.

This bandit group was just established in recent months.

It should not only be because this year is a bad year, but also because of the imperial court's grain collection. Moreover, the autumn tax not only did not decrease, but it was 10% higher than in previous years.

That's why some people who don't have enough food start to do evil.

Do they have any accomplices? The court is still investigating.

But I heard from a leader that our village was raided first because they heard that our people were very rich, so we suffered.

Alas! It’s not good to have a good life, and it’s not good to have a hard life either. What should I do in the future?”

So that's how it is. No wonder such a big thing happened suddenly. It seems that things developed so quickly, and the first person to blame should be the court.

Even if the imperial court wants to raise military rations to fight the enemy, it still has to consider how the people are living.

This year, there is no grain harvest anywhere in the north. Under the current situation, if there are really people who care about the people.

The people should have been exempted from taxes long ago.

Moreover, the grain collected in the spring should be returned to the people so that they can survive well in this chaotic world. Otherwise, who would be willing to go hungry and be an ordinary citizen, obeying the orders of the court?

"Village Chief, I have an idea.

You have also seen how dangerous things we went through this time.

I felt very nervous last night and asked my family to pay more attention to the situation around them.

That’s why they could beat the gong to alert everyone when bandits came.

At least everyone can prepare in advance.

But we are still no match for that bandit.

He believed in the truth and was rescued by Han the Hunter.

But judging from Han Liehu's appearance, he should have left. There won't be so many coincidences to get help from others in the future.

Not only is the world becoming increasingly chaotic, but I am afraid that in the future, those people who cannot get enough food may also become disaster victims.

By then, we will not only have to guard against bandits and mountain wastes, but also disaster victims from various places.

We'd better set up a fence around the village and organize patrols.

Only in this way can we all be kept safe.”

After hearing this, Village Chief Ma nodded. He agreed with what Xia Shengsheng said.

He also called his two sons and grandchildren to his side.

Xia Shengsheng repeated to them what he had just said.

Also listen to the advice of several people.

In the end, without exception, everyone agreed with Xia Shengsheng's point of view.

“Grandpa, building a fence is not as good as building a city wall. No matter how strong the fence is, it can always be breached.

But if we build a high wall, even if someone has bad intentions towards our village, it will buy us more time and allow us to come up with a countermeasure.”

Village Chief Ma looked at his eldest grandson, smiled and nodded.

Those years of studying were not in vain. I can talk about things very clearly and logically.

Xia Shengsheng also agreed, “Not only do we need to build a city wall, we also need to build a watchtower.

At that time, all the young and middle-aged men in the village will be organized together to practice some simple skills in order to better protect everyone's families in the future.

In addition, there must be a patrol team in the village every day, and someone must be on duty on the watchtower.

If anything happens, please ring the gong to let everyone know immediately.

This way we won’t be passive all the time.

Those who want to take advantage of our village will also think twice: is our village so easy to bully? "

Ma Da and Ma Er also expressed their opinions.

Everyone hit it off immediately.

Village chief Ma organized all the villagers together again.

Tell the villagers everything that everyone had just discussed.

"Someone has to patrol. Otherwise, if something like what happened today happens again, we'll all be dead."

"I don't mind patrolling, but how much effort would it take to build a city wall?"

"That's right. Our village is so big. If we want to fence it off completely, what a huge project that would be."

"You think it's a waste of effort now, but if it happens again, it doesn't matter if we lose our lives, we will just live in vain.

But if the girl in your family was abducted or raped by those who are not human, would you feel good about it?

I agree with the village chief. I am willing to build the wall for the safety of my family, even if it means I have to endure hardships and fatigue."

The last person who said this was Li Youcai's cousin, who usually doesn't like to express his opinions.

When the bandits entered the village, they also heard the sound of gongs coming from Xia Shengsheng's house.

Although I am somewhat prepared.

But the bandits still broke into the house!

At that time, he was protecting his wife and children, and the two bandits who broke into the house just started to rummage through things.

A man suddenly walked towards them with a knife, probably intending to kill them.

But when the bandit saw his daughter behind him, he would remember that lewd look on his face for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, Xia Shengsheng's family guards came to help and killed the two bandits.

What will happen otherwise? It's not certain.

So when faced with the village chief's proposal, he was the first to agree.
