Chapter 1894 Bandits(1/3)
"Haha, the chefs in the big hotel are very good at cooking. They can also cook a lot of dishes, but those who can cook a whole sheep feast are...
Your own. In fact, I think the rest of the people in your village will no longer need to go hunting in the mountains and just raise sheep at home.
That's enough." Li Cong said with a smile. The sheep raised here were purely natural in the previous life, and there was no such thing as feed.
Xi, these things taste quite delicious. Li Congyou wants to help here.
"Yes, Mr. Cao, don't you know? There are really fewer and fewer prey in this mountain. Many of them are already dying.
They are extinct, and every time we go in and bring back less and less, you have also seen the land here.
It is not suitable to continue to grow any food crops. The grass is getting taller every year, so we can only raise sheep.
The meat of this sheep doesn’t sell for much, and they all despise the bad taste. We had a lot of it back then.
Sheep Group, but because it cannot be sold, now they can only honestly reduce production. If Mr. Cao wants to buy it, they
They can all pick this up, they are all good at raising sheep." Boss Chen also said something about this matter.
It's a bit sad. In recent years, the village seems to be doing better on the surface, but they themselves know the actual situation.
"Haha, this is no problem. As long as you can make such a taste, I think I will eat your sheep here every month.
It doesn’t matter if you buy it, there are only a few of them, I guess you will have to expand the scale by then." Li Cong said with a smile.
I have now opened five or six Grand Hyatt hotels, and the food here is getting better and better. How many restaurants do they have here a year?
Not to mention that the thousand-headed sheep are not enough to eat. If this thing tastes so careless, how can you raise one?
It takes a long time, but if you eat it, it probably takes about an hour.
Boss Chen also became more interested in the evening. He had fallen asleep long ago. But now he has no intention of sleeping at all.
Li Cong was so sleepy that he stopped talking. Bai Er could not open his eyes for a long time, but because the master was still
There is no rest, and naturally he, a follower, cannot rest. He understands this kind of thing.
Early the next morning, Li Cong hadn't woken up yet, but Chen Chuankui was already up. It's normal for people in the mountains to wake up early.
, I woke up early mainly because I went to bed earlier. Because there was no nightlife this night, so basically every day
Hei went to bed. It would be better if he had a wife and had some activities, but if he didn't have a wife, it would be better.
Maybe it's because I'm staying here. There are quite a few people without wives here. This is a mountain and there are still relatively few people willing to come in. But today
Chen Chuankui got up a little too early. Before Boss Chen woke up, his father got up, shouted to his younger son and went out.
, it seemed something had happened. Li Cong couldn't sleep anyway, so he got up to see what was going on.
Li Cong and the old village chief went out to take a look. It turned out that the hunting team from the village had returned. Just by looking at them, he could tell that someone
It seems that there is nothing to gain. The prey brought back is really too little, not even two cars. You have to know that every year in the village,
It takes two hunts, and these two times can feed the village for a year. In the past, it was only a dozen cars, and now even
Not even a single car is here. This is really a big deal, and many people know that they may not be able to survive this winter.
This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that the number of people who came back is wrong. Hundreds of people went in, but how few people came out.
There are dozens of people involved. In the past, hunting in the mountains would cause a lot of damage, usually just a few people. Absolutely.
There won't be so many people. The loss of dozens of people is a big deal for a village. Besides, this loss
These people who were lost were all strong laborers in the village.
"What...what is going on? Where are the other people? They were all eaten by wild beasts?" the old village chief said with some disbelief.
There is a long history of hunting in their village. Although they can go in and run around, they also know where to go.
Those places that people cannot go to are very dangerous places. Generally speaking, they will not go there.
What is going on now? They are not that stupid. The old village chief was so anxious that his head was dripping with sweat.
"Village chief, no, they were all captured by bandits from Congshan. We went into the mountains to hunt this time and ran into their people. Their
There are too many people. We can't defeat them, and they can't swallow us all. This is not as good as ours.
For a big loss, they asked us to send 0,000 pounds of wheat to redeem people. If we couldn't deliver it within three days, they would... let us go.
All the people have been killed." A man in the lead said with his head wrapped around his head. It looked like he was also seriously injured.
"Damn, these bandits are really unfamiliar wolves. We give them so many things every day. How come they are all feeding each other?"
If you don’t know how to restrain yourself, why don’t you go to the government and tell them?” the old village chief said angrily.
"We went, but the people in the government said now is not a good time to suppress bandits, and said they would pay close attention." The Han man said
Zi said helplessly, this is how people in the government work. If you have money, you can say anything. If you don’t have money, you can say anything.
It's impossible to leave them to work. The bandits in Congshan are not ordinary powerful. When the government talks about them, these people
It was also a headache at the time. There were only a few hundred people in the county government office, and the number of people in the city defense did not exceed 2,000 at most.
Son, there are two thousand bandits in Congshan. They are no joke.
"Fart, damn, there is no time for them to suppress bandits. Village chief, I think we should not consider this matter."
The government is over, we still have to deal with it ourselves. Where are these dozens of people? It’s not a trivial matter. We’d better hurry up.
Please hurry up and raise food." Another older man said, saving people is the most important thing now. As for other things, saving people is the most important thing.
Everything can be done on their own, and 1,000 kilograms of grain is really not a small amount for them.
There are only more than 2,000 people in the village. Ten kilograms of food for this person does not sound like a lot, but if it is taken out,
It’s not that simple anymore. Ordinary people eat coarse grains. What they want is fine grains. If these ten kilograms of grains are passed, this will be enough.
If nothing unexpected happens in the new year, there may not be anything to eat in the last month of the year.
"Alas, things can only be like this now. By the way, we happen to have a few people from the Cao Family Trading Company here. At this time
They can only get so much food from them, and it will take a few days to transport it to them. If we don't
If you hurry up, there may be other changes." The person who just spoke said, his words caught everyone's attention.
Looking at Li Cong, Li Cong could only walk out.
"Haha, you don't need to worry about this, and this food will be counted as your future wages..." Li Cong
After explaining their purpose of coming, and explaining that the twenty thousand kilograms of grain would be regarded as their future wages, they all came directly to
It's boiling, three taels of silver a month. Although there is danger, but what is the difference from now? They are also in danger now
It’s risky, but you’ll have nothing after you die. At most, you’ll be able to feed and drink to your family, so you’ll have five hundred taels of silver after you die.
Even if my wife dies, I can give an explanation to my wife and children at home. Dozens of people have signed up now. Some of the remaining people
Still hesitating, none of them knew whether what Li Cong said was true or false.
However, all these hesitations became a reality at noon that day, because someone had delivered it in the whole morning.
In addition, Li Cong also brought in the salaries of dozens of people. Li Cong agreed to give them to them.
It is impossible for someone with a year's salary to carry that much silver with him. This person has 36 taels of silver, and he has fifty in the morning.
To save my life, this is more than a thousand taels of silver, packed in such a small box, and the whole village saw this.
Most of the people were dumbfounded. They had never seen a box containing silver in their lives. When they saw those people holding silver, they were stunned.
We finally couldn't sit still anymore and hurried over there to take the assessment. As long as we could hit the red heart fifty meters away, this basic
Basically, there is no problem. In fact, there is no problem for these people even if they are eighty meters away. There are more than two hundred people one after another.
They all passed the assessment, but there are still some people who are unwilling to go out. Li Cong will not force them, knowing that this must be done.
We have to rely on the days to come to make them be obedient. There are so many people missing from the village all of a sudden. The village chief is not happy either.
After all, this is a place that you manage. A decrease in population means that your rights will be compromised, but the village
The leader also understood in his heart that these people were going out to live a good life, and he could never stop them.
Li Cong also made another agreement with the village that day, that is, to ask the village chief to help him check and continue to work in the village.
The people who recruited hunters from around the area also left two people to set up an office here. The village chief also received five taels of silver per month.
If he could find a qualified person for himself, there would be an introduction fee of one or two taels of silver. This was something the village chief never thought of.
Another issue is about raising sheep. Originally, the village chief was not willing to let his eldest son go out. His body was already in that state.
It's okay. If no one takes good care of him after he goes out, there will be problems. But in the end, his son convinced him.
Yes, if you stay here, you may be like this for the rest of your life, and the child will never be found again, but after you go out, follow the instructions
The salary Li Cong gave him could change a lot of things. The village chief couldn't bear the temptation of the eldest grandson and let his son go. No.
However, he still let his youngest son follow his elder brother. According to his words, if something happened, the two brothers would take care of him.
These things are basically settled, and as long as you have the money, you can basically get them done quickly.
It's just that it's not good to go to the bandits' den on the mountain to change people. The village chief glanced at Li Cong and the others and asked
If these people from the Cao Family Trading Company are willing to help people like myself, then nothing will happen. But what should we do about this matter?
Let me tell you, I haven't gotten anything yet, but here I ask people to pay for food. Are they willing to do this?
