After touching his nose, he didn't want to talk about this topic. Xu Fei tried to use a little more simplicity and said:
"The country was in a war, so it increased its efforts to collect grain taxes. It may also be that the officials below did too much and did not leave much grain for the villagers."
"Kill the chicken to get the eggs."
Cang gave a short comment, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
Exercising surplus value is the norm in society. It can be said to be bad, but there is no right or wrong.
But if you only look at the immediate interests and destroy long-term benefits, you are a fool.
"Anyway, I've given him the silver coins, so I'll stabilize the other party first."
"Now we make a decision, stay and wait for the caravan, or leave immediately and hide in the mountains and fields?"
Xu Fei looked at Cang and Azhu. This matter was related to everyone's safety and could not be decided by him alone.
"Brother Fei, I think I'd better stay. Didn't you say that the villagers won't report us? And they can't go out."
"So there is no problem in a short period of time. Besides, they have to ask for us, at least they have to get the seeds and try to make trouble."
Ah Zhu put his hands on his chest and thought about it seriously.
In fact, he didn't say the main personal reason.
It’s not safe outside, I’m so scared. I really don’t want to touch the wild boar spirit anymore.
"Is it possible to be captured and exiled? The feudal society of Earth Star often swept away villages and captured young and middle-aged people during the war."
Cang was still worried. If he could increase his safety factor, he would rather sleep in the wild.
"It shouldn't."
Xu Fei shook his head and told the situation he had just heard.
"The Principality of Elirat does not have the concept of a lord, and it is managed by a centralized system. For villages in this area, the Knights will be sent to recruit soldiers at the end of each year, so there will be no sudden arrest of people."
"Ah? I'm arrested every year?"
"Is this bastard still allowed people to live? I said why are there all the elderly and children in the village? What a fuck?" Azhu cursed indignantly.
The social environment is different, so we cannot simply look at problems from the perspective of the Earth Star society.
The human rights in feudal society were low, and although he could not accept it, he could understand it somewhat.
But if you arrest people every year, it means that you basically don’t give the people a way out and you don’t treat people fundamentally.
What kind of thing is this country? Where does the face come from? It is called a Principality?
Seeing that his friend was a little excited, Xu Fei threw a bottle of mineral water over, making him angry.
I didn't want to mention this...
Cang has experienced a lot in his life, and has a calm mind. Even if he has any feelings in his heart, he will still act rationally.
Azhu is not good at all, her family is rich, and she grew up in pampering.
Shortly after working, he quit his job willfully and entered the live broadcast industry.
Due to the lack of social beatings, the little angry young man's feelings have not been cleaned up, so he will inevitably be emotionally active.
I sighed in my heart, Xu Fei turned to the scenery outside the window, it was a lifeless world...
If he has enough power and ability, he believes that 80% of the people in the world are willing to take the initiative to stand up and help these poor people who are in danger without taking risks.
At present, they are unable to protect themselves, they really have no way to get involved in these things, and they have no ability to fundamentally solve the problem.
So some things, don’t mention them, don’t think about them, don’t look at them, are the most pragmatic behaviors, otherwise they will only add to sadness.
As for material aspects, Xu Fei had already thought about it. If both of them agreed to stay, it would be better to spend fifteen days before handing over the seeds.
It is better to gain the favorability of local villagers and enhance relationships more practical.
In this way, they can also get more information about the world.
After all, the villagers have not high expectations and just want to live a life of full food and well-dressing.
It is not worth the reward for reporting them, and it is not known whether they can get the reward. Xu Fei is not sure, so it would be good not to be exploited by the Principality.
"If this happens, I agree to stay." Cang slowly sat on the floor and leaned against the wooden wall.
Since he knew the whole story, he relaxed.
"Okay, then I'll go and discuss the next thing with the village chief. You two will go out and make a decision on our residence later. The village chief said that all idle houses can be lived in, just choose one suitable for him."
Xu Fei put away the coins and seed bags, stood up and prepared to continue to go to the old village chief's house.
"Xu Fei, are you going to give the seeds now?" Cang was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately realized what he meant...
"Well, don't worry, let me leave it later. As long as you can provide continuous help, there will be no things you are worried about. Maybe it can be mutually beneficial." Xu Fei turned his head and smiled.
Cang nodded. Xu Fei always gave him the feeling that he was more careful in doing things and was trustworthy.
But he suddenly thought of another thing and reminded him:
"But you can't even cover half an acre of land, right?"
"I'm, actually... I brought the seeds from half a storage bag." Xu Fei scratched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
“…”
Cang Wuyu, are you really here to farm and sell money? I thought I was just talking about it...
Then, the three of them took action.
Xu Fei entered the residence of the old village chief Tam again.
When he threw several large bags of grain seeds onto the wooden table.
The village chief Tam's turbid old eyes suddenly burst out with a pure and beautiful brilliance like a baby.
For more than two hundred years, he watched Stasen Village gradually grow and grow from a gathering place composed of only a dozen hunters to a large village with a population of three or four hundred.
Then, like the twenty years of the region, men were forcibly captured, women were plundered by powerful people, and only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were left in the village.
The increased taxes in successive years have made them unable to maintain normal farming.
In order to prevent people from escaping, the Principality deliberately cut off road repair work.
Because of this, the weak elderly and children have no choice.
They can only stay in their hometown obediently, and they will become wild animals' on-the-trade food.
Tam had long lost his belief in living, and the children in the village were his only remaining spiritual support.
"Hokal!"
Tam yelled and stood up from his wheelchair with one leg.
call.
The door was opened with force, and the tall and thin old man named Hokal walked into the house with a cane.
"What's the ghost called? Old guy, have you been arched by the pigs and scorpions on the Jones River?"
Hokar did not give the village chief any face at all. As the deputy village chief, he also had a certain right to speak.
Xu Fei's lips twitched. The old village chief should have not been urged. He said before that he almost...
"Hokal! Listen to me! We have seeds!"
The old village chief shook Hokal's shoulder vigorously, making him feel nauseous and want to vomit, who was already dizzy due to hunger.
Pushing away the village chief, Hokal rushed to the log table in surprise.
His eyes were straight, and he picked up a handful of seeds from the bag, and his lips began to tremble slightly.
Tam breathed a sigh of relief, he could understand the other party's mood.
But now is not the time to be excited.
Tear.
The top was pulled off and tied to her waist.
The old village chief Tam showed two rows of ribs with clear edges.
He picked up a hoe, his eyes emitting bright light and shouted loudly.
"Old guy! Gather with the old guys in the village, the spring plowing has begun!"
