Organized by Village Chief Niu, everyone gathered at Zhou Wu's doorstep.

"Why do you think the village headman called us here?"

"Could it be that Scholar Zhou is inviting us to dinner again?"

"I've been feeling a bit nauseous about fish lately."

The person who said this was immediately slapped.

"Damn it, who hit me... Second... Second Master..."

The young man was furious and was about to retaliate when he turned around and saw that the person who hit him was an elder from the village. He was immediately furious.

"You brat, you've only had a few days of good food and you're already spouting nonsense. Beating you up would be too lenient."

The young man's words just now angered the Second Master so much that he stomped his cane hard. Looking at the disappointing younger generation, he wished he could give him two more canes as a reward.

"Second Master, Second Master, I was just joking, I know I was wrong."

Seeing that the second master was about to make a move again, the young man quickly admitted his mistake.

"Alright, everyone, you've all had a long day, so let's not keep you from resting any longer. The main reason I've gathered you all here today is to discuss something with you."

"Just give the order, Mr. Niu. There's nothing to discuss."

"That's right. If Master Niu and the scholar have something to say, who would dare disobey? My fists won't let them get away with it."

Although Hua Niang was big and burly, she was always quite righteous in the village and always helped those in need, not her own relatives. Especially recently, under the leadership of Niu Ye and Xiu Cai, everyone was able to have a full meal and save so many fish, so Hua Niang immediately became a big fan of Niu Ye and Zhou Wu.

"The scholar and I discussed buying some chicks and ducklings, and we'll distribute some to each household. This first batch will be considered the village's share. If we raise them well, their eggs will provide some nutrition for my mother and children. Each household can send someone to collect them in a little while; each family will receive five chicks and five ducklings."

“Pa bang bang~~~”

"Hello, Uncle Niu."

"A scholar of great virtue."

Everyone understood; this was a welfare distribution from the village, and they immediately applauded.

"Alright, there's one more thing. The village has bought some pigs and cattle to set up a farm, and we're hiring now. Which of you..."

"Uncle Niu, I, I can."

“Brother Xiucai, my wife is willing to go.”

After another hour of busy work, the chickens and ducks were finally distributed, and the farm staff were selected. The reason why large livestock such as pigs and cattle were raised on farms was mainly due to the current situation in the village. It was simply not feasible for families to raise such large livestock. Therefore, a farm recruitment system was adopted. The livestock still came from the village, but wages were paid.

Life continued as usual, fishing continued as normal, and now the newly built warehouse was almost full of salted fish. Uncle Niu was leading people to expand the warehouse, and the chicks and ducklings in each household were slowly growing up. Just when everything was developing in a thriving direction, trouble still came.

"Uncle Niu, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is something urgent?"

Zhou Wu finally managed to slack off for a while today, but someone came to his house saying that Uncle Niu had just returned from the county town and had something urgent to discuss with him.

"Scholar, something terrible has happened!"

"what happened?"

"The county called a meeting early this morning. Sure enough, we were right about what happened before. A large number of disaster victims have started to appear in the surrounding counties. I heard that the grain harvest in the north is poor, which has caused a large number of people to flee. There are already a lot of refugees in the surrounding counties and villages. Although we are far away, I guess they will arrive here soon."

They had already discussed it with Zhou Wu, and they thought that if any refugees came to Niujia Village, they would accept them as long as they were of good character. However, the number of refugees has now far exceeded their expectations, so many plans need to be redeployed.

The purpose of Uncle Niu's visit to Zhou Wu today is to find a way as soon as possible to adjust the village's deployment and make full preparations for the response.

Unfortunately, misfortune never comes singly. The next day, the fishing team found Master Niu and Zhou Wu and told them that their catch in recent days was far lower than before.

"Have we finished replenishing the rain in the sea?"

Whether Niu Ye was joking or not, Zhou Wu certainly wouldn't believe it. What was the size of the ocean? How could a small place like Niu Family Village catch all the fish in the ocean?

"Uncle Niu, there's no way our Niu family village can catch all the fish in the sea. I guess it's because we've been fishing along the same coastline lately, which has caused the fish population to decrease."

"What should we do?"

Before today, Niu Ye was full of confidence. He wasn't even this panicked when he heard that the number of refugees would exceed expectations. After all, fish were the foundation for Niu Family Village to have enough to eat.

"Uncle Niu, let's go out to sea."

"Set sail!!"

In fact, Zhou Wu had considered buying a boat to go out to sea before, but one reason was that the villagers could only fish along the coast, and another was that they didn't have the money to buy a boat to go out to sea at the time, so he put the idea aside for the time being. However, now that the catch along the coast is becoming increasingly scarce and can no longer meet the needs of the village, the village's money is estimated to be able to cover the cost of buying a boat, so he brought up the idea of ​​going out to sea again.

"Okay, it's up to you."

After thinking for a moment, Master Niu agreed to Zhou Wu's plan.

Niujia Village belongs to Qingyang County, which is the westernmost coastal county of the Great Dragon Empire. Its shipbuilding industry is the most developed in the empire. However, in the eyes of Zhou Wu, who is used to seeing modern warships, it is still very backward. For example, the ships in front of him are mostly sampans and cannot even be considered proper ships.

"Boss, don't you have any bigger boats?"

After wandering around for a while, Zhou Wu was getting impatient. The weather was already hot and irritating, and the shipyard owner kept leading everyone around a few dilapidated sampans, introducing them endlessly.

"We do have large ships, but the price..."

After Zhou Wu transmigrated to this world, he finally discovered the first person who looked down on others, which made him very happy, as it fit the plot of the novel.

"Hmph, they're not short of money."

The powerful retort made Zhou Wu feel completely refreshed.

"Alright, this way please, sir."

I thought the boss would stand up for me, but instead I was greeted with a servile smile. The boss seemed to be used to all kinds of customers' attitudes; as long as you have money, you're God.

"This service is amazing, comparable to the hot pot restaurant in my past life."

With this level of service, what more could you ask for? Zhou Wu immediately gave it a five-star review, completely dispelling his earlier displeasure.

The boss led Zhou Wu to the dry dock in a mysterious manner, muttering something under his breath.

"The timing of our guests' arrival is perfect. There happens to be one of our shipyard's flagship vessels here, and it will be completed in just a few more days."

Flagship? In this era where people still use leaves and bamboo strips to defecate, what kind of flagship could there be?
