Acting
After hearing Wei Jin's words, Wen Yu's eyes moved without interrupting, waiting for Wei Jin to continue.
Wei Jin took a step forward and said in a calm tone: "We will go south for another month or two. Although there are no problems now, the further we go, the more obvious we are missing."
"The most important thing is the craftsman. Currently, Cui Er makes all the wood products in the village. After all, he only has one person, and it takes more than a month or two for him to lead an apprentice. Many times, when we arrive at a place with sufficient firewood,
But I couldn’t make more things due to time constraints.”
"Not only carpenters, but also other types. For example, if we want to build a house after we go south, we will definitely need skilled masons. Forging farm tools and iron tools, we need blacksmiths. Wang Langzhong is just a barefoot doctor. He can only treat simple diseases. Some people are sick on the way.
Physician is needed.”
"This group of deserters is large in number. According to the ratio of one in a hundred, there are still seven or eight available craftsmen."
Wei Jin saw Wen Yu nodding in thought. Although she was a girl and not very old, she was very powerful. She mastered the magic and could lead a group of top-notch troops. At the same time, she also showed that she was worthy of being his lord Wei Jin.
His courage and strategy are not a loss.
"The second point is people."
"How many people are there in total?" Wei Jin asked Xu Laoer.
Xu Laoer paused and blurted out the number he was familiar with: "There are two hundred and fifty-four people in the village."
Wei Jin continued to ask: "How much labor is there?"
Xu Laoer understood what Wei Jin meant and answered in unison: "Including young men over fifteen years old, there are ninety-seven people in total. If women are also included, there are one hundred and sixty-two."
"If there is a battle, a part of the body must be set aside to guard the elderly and children. Women are naturally weak, and most of them are not as strong as men. Some of them are only over a hundred years old, including some who are powerful."
"Among them, there are only a few who are truly capable of fighting and can defeat the enemy without Miss Wen's support."
"So we are still short of people."
Wei Jin looked at Wen Yu: "There is still a lack of labor that can be trained to become a fighting force."
"And among this group of people fleeing famine, according to Miss Wen, there are not many old people, women, and children with weak physical strength. So wouldn't that just meet our needs?"
Wen Yu nodded. Wei Jin had considered it very comprehensively. She could not deny that this was indeed a good thing for the villagers.
"The key is how to make them completely focus on Miss Wen."
Wen Yu:? Something is wrong.
Why should you focus on her?
I just understand the situation and escort the villagers south to find a safe place!
Wei Jin ignored Wen Yu's doubts and continued: "There is a third point."
"Chang'an City will not allow these refugees to enter the city. Large families are used to having children at home, so they can only find a few to work as coolies. However, Yongzhou is more relaxed about the settlement of refugees, and it can even be said that they welcome them happily."
"There are two hundred and fifty of us in Yongzhou. Because our numbers are small, there is a high probability that we will be dispersed and integrated into other villages and towns. If we increase our number, we can convince the government to allocate a piece of land to accommodate us."
"That way everyone doesn't get spread out."
Wei Jin gave Xu Laoer a look.
Wei Jin: That will be the time for us to accumulate strength and hide our strength and bide our time.
Xu Laoer: Awesome!
"Brother Yuan Zheng is far-sighted!" Xu Laoer said sincerely as he thought he still had a lot to learn.
"Brother Wei Yuanzheng is really thoughtful."
Wen Yu admitted that what Wei Jin said made sense. Taking into account the present and future aspects, he had no worries.
She suddenly understood why the storyteller said that Wei Jin was talented, and if it wasn't for the villain's suppression, it would be because of his fame and appearance.
It would be great if this kind of talent could stay in the team forever.
Wen Yu sighed lightly. It's a pity. According to the agreement, they only need to escort Wei Jin to the next town. But now, Chang'an, which is second only to the capital in prosperity, has arrived, and Wei Jin will definitely leave.
Well, she wants Xu Laoer to stay with Wei Jin twelve hours a day these days, learn more and squeeze Wei Jin dry!
Wen Yu thought this, unaware that Wei Jin's mind had changed.
"In order to facilitate the subsequent acceptance of this group of people, I have a suggestion. We need Miss Wen to cooperate in the acting." Wei Jin laughed, as bright as the spring breeze with a cunning tone.
"What show?" Wen Yu's interest was aroused.
"Listen to someone's details."
Listening to Wei Jin's thoughts, Wen Yu's eyes lit up little by little.
***
The sky is getting dark, a few stars are lazily distributed in the night sky, the crescent moon is thin, the moonlight is hazy, and only a shallow light is left on the ground.
Wang Er tightly held the grain bag that contained wheat. He suddenly began to hesitate whether to take action or not.
My son is well taken care of by them, and he will be the first to eat when he finds something to eat.
So even though Wang Er and his wife were already skinny, their son was still healthy, but his face was a bit sallow after eating too many wild vegetables.
Someone lit a fire not far away, and the faint smell of barbecue blew along the wind.
Wang Er gritted his teeth again and again and finally moved his steps.
"Xiaoer, I'm a little thirsty."
Just as he walked near the stroller and wanted to pick up his sleeping son, Wang Er's grandfather suddenly spoke.
I thought my grandfather had fallen asleep, but suddenly I heard a sound. Wang Er, who was guilty of this, was startled and his body froze. It took him a long time to recover.
"Okay, I'll fetch water."
Wang Er didn't know why but he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the water bag to get water.
Although we didn't have enough to eat along the way, there was never a shortage of water. Some of the refugees who were traveling with us came from other places and met together halfway. I heard they said it was because of severe drought, poor food harvest, and being near a battlefield.
, there were many natural and man-made disasters, so they had to escape.
Many people died of thirst along the way.
Wang Er felt lucky for this. Fortunately, they had plenty of water along the way, but now that he thought about it, it would be better to die of thirst due to lack of water.
The stream was in a relatively remote location. Wang Er glanced at his sleeping wife before leaving. Seeing that she looked tired, he couldn't bear to wake her up.
It's okay, the place he chose to rest is some distance away from the group of people, so it should be safe.
However, the group of beasts had already reached the end of Wang Er's family. It seemed that in a day or two, his family would not be able to escape the final tragedy.
When he walked to the stream and filled several water bags, Wang Er heard someone walking in the distance. He stopped and listened carefully. It seemed that it was his illusion again.
I was really hungry and fainted, and I even had auditory hallucinations.
When I think of hunger, I think of food, and then my mouth recalls the taste of meat.
"Gudong."
Wang Er swallowed his saliva and quickened his pace back.
Now that I have made up my mind, I have made an agreement with Brother Zhao's family to exchange children tonight. If I break my promise, Brother Zhao will definitely be angry tomorrow and may even take action.
It's all about fulfilling the promise.
Wang Er found good reasons for himself, as if this would make him feel at ease.
When he returned to where his family was in the dark and wanted to hand the water bag to his grandfather, Wang Er froze as if he was petrified.
"Boom."
The water bag in his hand slipped and hit the ground heavily.
Chapter completed!
