Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

"Your design is still the best!"

Uncle Si praised, "I've visited no less than a hundred shops, big and small, in Changsha during this period, and this is the first time I've seen a shop decorated like ours."

"It's certainly novel and should attract quite a few people."

"By the way, I was planning to ask the old patriarch to come and take a look, but the old patriarch just wouldn't come no matter what."

"You should talk to him for me. It's his own business, after all. How can he not come and take a look?"

Fourth Uncle muttered a few words.

"The old clan chief will return on the day of the opening."

Su Chen knew that the old patriarch's absence was due to his desire to completely relinquish power.

His main focus now is on the education of the younger generation in Sujia Village.

Interference in other areas would damage Su Chen's authority.

He now considers himself an old man in the village, and Su Chen can decide everything, big or small.

If there's anything that Su Chen needs from this old man, he'd do anything, even go through fire and water, just by saying the word.

"Alright, then we'll have the old clan chief come over when the business opens."

Fourth Uncle nodded.

"Uncle, you're busy at the shop right now, I'm going back to the village."

Su Chen said.

"Go on, go back and rest early. This trip must have been exhausting."

Fourth Uncle waved his hand.

……

The most difficult part of each tomb raiding trip is not the various traps and monsters inside, but the journey back and forth.

In those days, trains only went to some big cities.

In those small towns, only dirt roads were passable, and in some places there weren't even main roads, only a few winding, narrow paths.

We can only cross mountains and valleys on foot.

Walking along the street, Yin Xinyue linked arms with Su Chen.

A black car drove past the two of them.

"Let's buy a car!"

Su Chen suddenly said.

After transmigrating, Su Chen remembered that when he first came to Changsha City, he wanted to buy a car.

Unfortunately, Sujia Village was too poor.

But nowadays, Sujia Village can afford not only one car, but even three.

"This way, it will be convenient for you to return to Sujia Village in the future."

Su Chen pondered, "There are some other things that can also be transported from Sujia Village to Changsha City."

"Then let's buy it!"

With a wave of her hand, Yin Xinyue declared herself the head steward of the entire Sujia Village, primarily responsible for managing the village's finances.

Everyone in the clan, young and old, had to draw money from her whenever they needed it.

Yin Xinyue is not a stingy person; she will definitely give to anyone in the village who truly needs her help.

Of course, she wasn't easily fooled.

Trying to swindle money from her is basically wishful thinking.

Sujia Village is currently experiencing a period of rapid development.

Make sure to seize every opportunity.

Although the Su family's antique business is not as good as the New Moon Hotel in Beijing, Yin Xinyue believes that one day, their antique business will also become famous and no less than the New Moon Hotel in Beijing.

Then she can see how outstanding her man is.

……

I'm exhausted from the journey, so I definitely can't buy a car today.

The group returned to Sujia Village first.

It was already autumn, the harvest season.

It's the time for late rice harvesting, and in the rice paddies along the street, long-term and short-term laborers are sweating profusely under the sun.

The mountainous areas are planted with corn and wheat.

The corn harvest is over, and wheat is currently being planted.

Next year, a vast expanse of golden wheat fields will appear in the mountains.

The clan farmland covers nearly 2,000 mu, and the yield per mu is as high as 700%, indicating amazing soil fertility.

According to Su Chen's estimate, it would be possible to try planting rice twice a year next year.

Changsha is located in the south and receives abundant rainfall.

In theory, planting twice a year is possible, but due to soil fertility issues, a period of fallow is required.

Now that the clan's resources have the support of the system, there's not so much to worry about.

With two harvests a year, the annual grain yield from the paddy fields will double.

After the rice is harvested, some rice ears will still fall to the ground.

Sixth Uncle Su Renxiu stood at the edge of the field supervising the work, accompanied by several young members of the Su family.

Many refugees stood on the edge of the field, gazing longingly.

"Xiao Tian, ​​go and tell Uncle Liu that once the rice harvest is complete, there's no need to worry about it anymore. Let the refugees pick up the fallen rice ears in the field."

Su Chen gave a word of advice.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Su Yitian broke away from the group and walked towards his sixth uncle, Su Yitian.

Su Chen's actions were also a way of benefiting the people, as these displaced people had it tough too.

I was starving every day before, and I almost couldn't survive.

If it weren't for the fact that Sujia Village hired many long-term and short-term laborers from these migrant groups and paid them wages, they wouldn't have been able to afford to eat.

If there are many people in the family, they will still inevitably go hungry.

They can gather rice grains and have more to eat.

Su Chen treated these people quite well.

As long as they behave themselves and don't cause trouble, Su Chen will definitely help them.

But if they are like the Ding and Jiang families, who don't know how to be appreciative and are always ready to bite back.

What awaits them is a thunderous blow.

“There are more and more migrants in the area, all of whom know they can find a way to make a living in Sujia Village,” Yin Xinyue said with some concern. “But Sujia Village only needs a limited number of workers.”

"I think we should think of a way to stop it."

"Otherwise, if things continue like this, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later."

Sujia Village has only a few dozen people, but at least tens of thousands of refugees have gathered around it.

"Don't worry, I'll be buying more land in a while," Su Chen said with a smile. "We'll still be short-handed then, so let them stay on the outskirts."

While calling Sujia Village "magnificent" might be an exaggeration, it is certainly prosperous.

Several shops have sprung up in the village, along with many small vendors.

And on the outskirts of Sujia Village.

In some places, thatched huts and simple wooden sheds were built, and some people slept directly on the ground because they had nowhere to live.

The environment is dirty and chaotic.

That's just how the world is.

When pushed to the limit or starving, people are capable of anything.

Many refugees also wanted to enter Sujia Village to beg.

But seeing the dark mass of gun barrels behind them, these people didn't dare to go in and could only watch helplessly.

Su Chen also instructed the old clan chief to take some time to distribute porridge.

We have to give them a chance to survive.

Only by keeping them alive and giving them something to care about can we stabilize these displaced people.

Otherwise, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to wear.

Since I'm going to die either way, I might as well make a scene.

While setting up bunkers to increase the defenses of Sujia Village, Su Chen also worked to stabilize the refugees.

There's no way to avoid it unless we kill them all.

Otherwise, these refugees would definitely stay on the outskirts of Sujia Village and not leave.

This situation has both advantages and disadvantages; the advantage is that there is an abundant labor force.

Sujia Village has a small population, so they can only recruit workers from the migrant population, which solves many problems.

Su Chen also planned to build houses for these people for free, but the houses would definitely not be built for nothing; a portion of their wages would be deducted each month.
