Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

After hearing Zhou Lingling's words, the old patriarch suddenly stood up from his chair.

Zhou Yong, who came rushing over after hearing the noise, was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to support his father.

"Dad! Don't get excited, don't get excited!"

People of this age are most afraid of extreme joy or sorrow, or falling, which can all be over if they are not careful.

So Zhou Lingling was also shocked.

"Old man, be steady."

Zhou Yong: “…”

The old patriarch's excitement was extinguished by Zhou Lingling's words.

He calmed himself down, regained his composure and sat back down in his chair, but his slightly trembling hands still revealed his mood.

The old patriarch asked, "Did you really harvest 3,000 kilograms of what you planted in the back hills?"

Ever since Zhou Lingling sent people to guard the three acres of land, the old patriarch and Zhou Yong no longer interfered.

They knew that the three acres of land had been harvested, and Zhou Lingling had also given them two hundred kilograms of new grain, but they didn't know that the three acres of land had actually produced so much grain.

Zhou Lingling nodded and gave the father and son an affirmative answer.

"Yes, no more, no less."

The newly appointed village chief, Zhou Yong, was also very uneasy. While paying attention to his father's health, he did not forget to ask Zhou Lingling:

"Girl, you never do useless things, and you are making such a big fuss today, but what are your plans?"

Zhou Lingling didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"I brought over 2,000 kilograms of potatoes. There are 103 households in our village, excluding ours. On average, each family will receive 200 kilograms."

"Two hundred kilograms of potato seeds can be used to plant one mu of land, and in two months we can harvest about 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms of potatoes."

"I hope the old patriarch and Uncle Yong will come forward and distribute these potato seeds to the villagers. I will send people to the village to teach everyone how to plant them..."

Zhou Lingling spoke for a long time, but neither the old patriarch nor Zhou Yong responded.

“Is it too little?”

"But this is all I can offer."

She calculated the food in the space and realized that she would have to consume some of it when she went to the northern border, and she also had to save some for seeds.

After all, space can indeed shorten the growth time, but it cannot make crops mature immediately.

So all she could keep was the output from the land in Zhoujia Village.

These potatoes are grown here and are better adapted to the soil and environment here.

Is it missing?

No.

is too much.

Neither the old patriarch nor Zhou Yong had expected that Zhou Lingling would take out so much food at this time.

High-yield grain.

Not to mention high yields, the villagers would be ecstatic just to be able to successfully harvest in such a dry environment, even if the yield is just an ordinary 100 or 200 kilograms.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

As it turns out, it will fall off.

There were more and more refugees from outside the village, and more and more families in the village were out of food. The father and son were worried, but they didn't expect that the solution would come to them!

If I say that I have never thought about taking the three acres of land from the Zhou family, I would definitely be lying.

But after weighing the pros and cons, the father and son felt that they had not yet reached the end of their rope, so they had not mentioned the matter to the Zhou family.

At this moment, Zhou Lingling personally brought people to deliver the food to them, which made both father and son feel a little complicated and speechless...

The conversation between the three people took place in the courtyard of the old patriarch's house. The door was guarded tightly by Tie Yuan and others, so the people outside could only wait anxiously, not knowing that the three people inside were having a conversation about how to subvert their entire village.

for a long time,

The gate of the old patriarch's yard was finally opened.

The old patriarch was supported by his son and walked step by step to the crowd.

The voices of the villagers who were just discussing disappeared in an instant.

Several elders who were also supported by their younger generations came late. When they saw the old patriarch, one of them asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"Brother, I heard you asked everyone to come here. Do you have something important to announce?"

When did the old patriarch ever have time to inform these old guys?

But looking at the villagers gathered in three layers outside his house, the old patriarch lowered his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Lingling who was standing beside him with a well-behaved look on his face, and could only nod.

"Ah."

"Dayong, go make some arrangements. Our Zhou clan is going to open the ancestral hall today!"

Amid the surprised gazes of all the elders and villagers, Zhou Yong turned around without hesitation, greeted his two cousins ​​and left.

"Clan leader, this is..."

The old patriarch looked at everyone and said in a deep voice:

"Today, there's a matter of life and death for our Zhou clan. Let's see if the heads of each family have arrived. Everyone should gather outside the ancestral hall later!"

After saying that, the old patriarch took the lead and walked towards the ancestral hall with his crutches.

Several elders looked at each other and followed.

When the villagers heard this, they all looked panicked and looked around for their familiar relatives and friends to see if anyone had come.

A quarter of an hour later,

The heads of the 103 households in Zhoujia Village have all arrived and are standing in an orderly manner at the entrance of the Zhou family's ancestral hall.

Zhou Lingling followed the old patriarch and stood at the front, on the three-story high steps. She saw that among the huge crowd below, there were only two or three women from Lingxing.

Those were widows in the village who had not remarried, whose children had not yet grown up, and who had no pillar of support for their families.

There were also some women standing far away, craning their necks to look over here, as if getting any closer would be disrespectful to their ancestors.

This is the nature of this world.

"Just now I said that I have an important announcement to make that concerns the survival of our entire village."

The old patriarch's slightly hoarse voice sounded, and everyone present fell silent.

"This year has been difficult. The weather has not been kind, not a drop of rain has fallen, the harvest has failed, and autumn planting is impossible. Many families have already started to run out of food and have been forced to go to the mountains to find food."

"The official road outside the village has seen a surge in refugees from further south these days, and everyone has seen it..."

The old patriarch's words made many men present have tears in their eyes.

Their Yunshui County is surrounded by mountains and rivers. For generations, the villagers have never had to worry about having enough food to eat.

The villagers didn't know that in the southernmost part of the Yuan Dynasty, some people had already said that the Yuan Emperor was not virtuous. Not only did he appoint treacherous ministers, but his sons also fought against each other like black chickens, making the court and the country a mess.

This is a punishment from heaven.

The villagers didn’t know whether it was a punishment from heaven or not. They only knew that if they continued like this, they might become one of the refugees.

"But what I want to tell you today is that our Zhoujia Village is saved!"

When the old patriarch said this, his beard trembled with excitement, but many people did not react.

Until the third uncle asked the old patriarch: "Why do you say that? What should our village do?"

saved?

Yes, how come they were saved.

Being stared at eagerly by more than a hundred pairs of eyes, Zhou Lingling decided to move away and not stand in the center position with the old man.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I took a step, I was called out on the spot:

"Ms. Ling from Zhou Er's family brought back more than a dozen carts today. Let her tell you what's on them!"

Zhou Lingling: Huh?
