I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.
Chapter 61: No regrets are fake
In addition to what his mother just said, this group of people actually got 7,000 kilograms of food and a lot of other supplies, including oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
And all this was just because Lu Yanzheng's wife took the villagers into the mountains and brought back a lot of prey.
Listen to what they say, forty-nine wild goats! And tigers, wild boars, wolves, and hyenas...
"How did they do it?" Wang Bo didn't expect that he would blurt out the question.
Wang Quezi was one of the first group to go up the mountain. When he heard his question, he immediately started talking with saliva flying, "Use a net! At that time, Lu Yanzheng's family asked us to make two large nets..."
He told her how Jiang Qinyu had directed their hunting expedition, and how she had taken the villagers to Qinggang Mountain to rob food. He felt a little unsatisfied, "I told your mother not to flee the famine, but she wouldn't listen and insisted on going after your sister. Now, she won't take us with her."
After Wang Bo heard this, he looked at Jiang Qinyu with a more complicated look, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
"There is such a brave and resourceful woman in the world. Ruyi admires her." Liu Ruyi looked at Jiang Qinyu with admiration, and there was a hint of yearning in her eyes.
The ancestral hall of Dingshui Village was open today. All the influential people were here, and the women also came to watch the fun. The hall was surrounded by people inside and outside. If it weren't for the terrain, Jiang Qinyu's position would have made it impossible for her to see the people behind her.
The four wild goats left in the village have all been pickled and temporarily placed in the cellar of Village Chief Li's house.
In addition, all the prey brought back from the mountains were exchanged for silver, and the silver was used to buy many daily necessities and food for the village.
At this moment, Village Chief Li read out all of their current common property in front of everyone.
Every time he read a word, Meng Tianze would bring people to display the things for everyone to see.
If they had only heard it, the shock would not have been that strong. But when several thousand kilograms of grain and nearly a thousand pieces of cloth were placed directly in front of everyone, it was a different feeling.
As soon as the Wang family members expressed their feelings, the people in the ancestral hall burst into cheers.
"Old Meng, you guys are amazing! You actually brought back so many things for us!"
"Yeah, yeah, not only is he great at hunting, he's also great at scavenging things from the village!"
"That's a lot of stuff, but you also got a dozen mules. They're great helpers!"
"..."
Jiang Qinyu listened to these words and wondered if this world was not a feudal dynasty, they would all shout "Long live the world", right?
"Quiet, quiet, everyone, please listen to me first." Seeing that everyone was so excited that they couldn't calm down, Village Chief Li could only shout with a loudspeaker.
Now everyone finally calmed down.
"I called everyone here today, not only to tell you how much stuff we have now, but also to tell you something." Village chief Li looked at everyone and said solemnly.
"What's the matter, Village Chief? We already have so many things, there shouldn't be anything bad, right?" Someone couldn't help but ask nervously.
Village Chief Li was speechless and rolled his eyes at the man. "It's a good thing. Wait till I finish what I say before you speak."
The others immediately fell silent.
Village Chief Li then continued, "Yesterday, Lu Yancai's family came to me and asked for a share of their belongings, saying they were struggling to make ends meet..."
He told him about the incident last night when Lu Yancai and his wife had come to him to cause trouble. Seeing that everyone was glaring at the couple, Village Chief Li quickly said, "His family is definitely not starving, but some families in the village do have difficulties in life. Even we need to interact with others on a daily basis. What should we do if we are short of food?"
"What the village chief said makes sense, and it seems to be true, but didn't we agree to distribute things every three months? If it is really necessary, what should we do?" Someone immediately asked.
Village Chief Li looked at the man and said, "This is the second thing I want to say. We are currently using the work point system, so when exchanging things, everything is based on work points. If there are indeed difficulties, we can use the method of estimating work points..."
He then explained what estimated work points were, and then said, "Those who come to exchange items or withdraw silver before the three months are up will be calculated according to this. When the payment is made, any excess or shortage will be refunded or supplemented based on the actual situation."
This way, there is no need to worry about someone receiving things in advance and then refusing to pay. After all, people who don’t have work points cannot exchange them for things at any time, and work points do not support credit.
Those who have exchanged existing work points for things will definitely still have work points when the three-month period is over. If they took advantage of the exchange in advance, the points can be deducted according to the specific circumstances when the points are officially distributed.
"The idea the village chief suggested is good. This way, no one will suffer any loss."
"Yes, I agree with this approach. Let's do it this way from now on!"
"What if someone wants to withdraw money or something in advance even though their family is not in financial difficulty?"
Finally someone asked this question.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Yancai and his wife.
Ma shrank back, then forced herself to glare fiercely at everyone, "What are you looking at? Didn't we get anything?"
Everyone else looked at her with contempt, but Ma didn't care. Her face was full of an expression as if others owed her money.
"This will naturally be determined by our inspection team. We won't let anyone change it in advance." Village Chief Li said with a smile.
If everyone comes to withdraw money in advance, then there is no point in having this work point system.
With his words, everyone felt completely relieved and expressed their support for this decision.
Those families who are really in trouble are also considering whether to withdraw some money in advance for emergencies.
Outside the ancestral hall, Wang Po and her family were really anxious at this moment.
"Old Wang's family, we all followed your lead and fled the famine. Now we've come back because your eldest son said we couldn't flee the famine, but the village won't accept us to work with them. What should we do?"
The people from the Ma and Deng families surrounded Wang Po's family and looked at them with bad expressions.
Mrs. Wang was a little flustered. She had just seen what was happening in the village. It would be a lie to say she didn't regret it.
Before they left, Village Chief Li gave them some food from the mountains. Compared with what they have now, it’s nothing.
But no matter how much they regret it, they can't join unless the villagers agree!
"Aunt Ma, Uncle Deng, don't worry, the village will agree. You can go back first. I will come to you after it is confirmed." Wang Bo said.
The people from the Ma and Deng families still believed his words to some extent, so they immediately said that if he couldn't handle it, they would blame the Wang family in the future.
"Xiaobo, how can you say this to them? What if the villagers still don't agree?" Mrs. Wang was very anxious.
