Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

Naturally, no one refuted Ye Guo's words. The village was wealthy and indeed had a lot of salt stored.

They even dared to say that the salt shops in the county town did not have more stock than they did.

The main reason was that people used to make money by selling oil, and after living in hardship for too long, the first thing they thought of was to store salt and grain.

The so-called caravan was actually looking for someone to escort the goods to be sold. In today's situation, if there was no one to escort it with real weapons, the ox cart would definitely not be able to reach the county safely.

As for how many fried locusts he could sell, he could only see how many would be left after the free fried locusts were given tomorrow. Ye Guo was not worried that he didn't have enough food to exchange, but that there weren't enough locusts around him to catch.

Two taels of coarse grains, with some dried vegetables, are enough for a family of five to eat for a day. And catching locusts is something that both adults and children can do.

As for the ducks that were raised before, they had already been eaten. How could people keep ducks and spend food to raise them when they had nothing to eat? Even this duck might be able to save the locust plague.

With a method to temporarily recover health, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and were grateful to have a backbone.

Then I listened to Ye Guo talking about the new people in the village.

"They are all in-laws, and the relatives are no more than three generations. Even if I want to refuse, I can't bear to do it. Now these people are supported by each household, and the village doesn't care so much." The third master was obviously very clear about the situation in the village.

"The drought is getting worse and worse, and it has caused a locust plague. More and more people are coming to seek refuge. We need to come up with a set of rules and regulations. Otherwise, before the outside world becomes chaotic, the village may become chaotic first." The headman's words touched Ye Guo's heart.

"These are all family affairs, and we can't interfere too much, but now is a special period, and we can't ignore it either."

"Each family can accept relatives and friends to come and seek refuge, but first of all, the number of people cannot exceed ten. If the situation is really special, it must be approved by the clan. Secondly, if the person who comes to seek refuge is disobedient and does something that harms the interests of the clan, the clan members will be held responsible. If the situation is serious, they will be expelled from the clan."

With more than a dozen lives lost in Huangcun, the words "leaving the clan" from Ye Guo were quite intimidating to everyone present.

Everyone's faces froze and they quickly returned home to convey the clan's decision, fearing that if they spoke too late they would violate the rules set by Ye Guo. If they just called out a few of the guards in her family, they could take over the entire Yejia Village.

From beginning to end, no one refuted her words. As long as she said it, it became the rule.

Things went more smoothly than Ye Guo had expected, but looking at everyone's unconscious fear of him, Ye Guo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You are doing this for their own good. They will understand when you save them in the future." Old Man Ye's words were like a stream of clear spring water pouring into Ye Guo's heart.

family.

Living alone and helpless seems like a thing from my previous life.

"Dad, I'm fine." Ye Guo stood up and skillfully took Old Man Ye's arm.

Old Man Ye, who was suddenly approached, was so tense that he almost walked with his hands and feet trembling.

After returning home, Ye Guo went to the vegetable garden as usual, then looked at the almost deserted garden, turned around and went back to the house.

Knowing that Ye Guo was in a bad mood, Old Lady Ye personally brought a few slices of cantaloupe and delivered them to him.

"Mom, why did you come here in person?" The melon, which should have been white, was now only the size of a fist and was still green. It didn't look tasty.

But it’s already this season, and fresh fruit is rare to find. I don’t know which family in the village sent it.

"You ate little for lunch, and there's still some time before dinner, so I'll get you something to eat to replenish your appetite." Old Mrs. Ye's face was full of wrinkles as she smiled.

"Thank you, mother." Ye Guo took the fruit plate and helped the person sit down on the stool in the room.

"You've grown a lot taller since you went out. But you've also become darker and thinner..."

Old Mrs. Ye was smiling at first, but somehow she started wiping away tears as she spoke.

"Mom, you can see that there are so many people watching me. Doctor Peng is a former imperial physician and used to treat His Majesty. Do you think I can still be in poor health?"

Ye Guo said with a helpless smile.

"You are also heartless. You have been gone for several months. And Siyuan and the others are the same. They have graduated from high school, but they have not returned home in glory for so long, leaving you, a girl, to come back alone."

"Even if you're worried about our situation, you really shouldn't come back."

How should Ye Guo respond to this?

"Luckily, you have been favored by His Majesty. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened on the way, I would not be able to live."

Seeing that Old Lady Ye's tears were about to flood the Golden Mountain, and her words were getting more and more outrageous, Ye Guo hurriedly coaxed her, "Mother, my second brother and his family have to wait for His Majesty to grant them official positions before they can leave the imperial city. Our family is about to have two officials."

Old Lady Ye also thought so, and wiped away her tears, saying, "An official should be a good official, and should love the people like his own children, just like Magistrate Lu."

"I'm afraid that they will all stay in the Imperial City to serve as officials, especially Zifeng. If he doesn't come back, it will be difficult for his mother to go to the Imperial City."

Since you are worried about this, it is not difficult to solve it. Ye Guo couldn't help but smile and comfort, "Don't worry, mother. Before I came back, I had heard from my second brother that it is very likely that the three of them will be sent out. It's just that the place of their sending is not yet determined."

"But it doesn't matter. Before they take up their posts, they will be given enough time to spend with their families."

"Is Aunt Li still living alone? It's not safe for an orphan and a widow at this time."

From the moment the child came out of her belly, Old Mrs. Ye knew that she was a kind person.

"Don't worry, she's not the only one in the village who has this problem. The village head and his men made proper arrangements for them months ago."

"Safety is absolutely no problem. Zifeng has a promising future, which is more important than anything else."

"The elders are all kind-hearted people. Even if they don't care about Zifeng, they won't ignore them."

These words were undoubtedly telling Ye Guo how correct his decision to come back was.

The next day, the village entrance was even more lively than the day before, with many people coming from surrounding villages.

Although they had built a shed, due to the scorching sun and the large number of things, the villagers simply persuaded Ye Fugui's family to move and let the house at the entrance of the village be shared.

Their family moved to an empty house near the oil press to live temporarily. There were relatively more people there, and the patrol team usually trained there, so their family didn't have to worry every day.

All the people from other villages were pale and thin, skinny and bony. After Madam Liu had been guarding for two days, on the third day she asked Doctor Peng to help as well.
