Chapter 538 I Can Give

his child's temperamentFour months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the autumn examinations are over. Every day, people from all levels of the family keep watch at the foot of the mountain, fe...On the other side, Village Head Zhao invited Fang Jinshu back home. After seating her, he hesitated and remained silent, appearing as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.

Fang Jinshui could only take the initiative to break the deadlock, "Uncle Zhao, just say what you have to say."

"I know you didn't call us here for no reason."

Village Head Zhao looked at her thoughtfully. This girl was sharp; trying to beat around the bush in front of her was pointless.

It's better to just tell the truth.

He let out a heavy sigh, "Girl, Uncle Zhao really had no other choice."

"I see that you all have rosy complexions and are dressed normally. I'd like to ask, is there still water at Nomura"

Fang Jinshui raised her eyebrows, as expected, she came for the water resources.

"Uncle Zhao, I remember there's also a fairly wide river outside Fangjia Village. That river shouldn't have dried up so quickly, right"

She didn't answer Zhao Village Chief's question directly. The resources in the wild mountains were indeed quite abundant, and so far, there was no sign of the underground water decreasing in flow.

However, this is also thanks to the small population of Nomura Village. Their village population hasn't even reached half of Fangjia Village.

Fangjia Village is a large village. If she softened her heart for a moment and exposed the village's resources, the groundwater would definitely decrease very quickly.

Now is not the time to play the victim, Fang Jinshui could only pretend to be clueless and change the subject.

Unless Village Head Zhao can offer resources of at least equal value in exchange for water, she absolutely will not tell anyone about the situation in Wild Village, let alone lead them into the mountains.

"There was a river, so dry that until now, if it weren't for this river, Fangjia Village wouldn't exist."

But this river is not just used by people in our village. The upper reaches of the river are in Lishui Town, and there are three or four more villages downstream.

The water level in the river has already dropped to half, and I'm afraid it won't last much longer.

Chief Zhao hesitated for a moment, then lifted his gaze to Fang Jinshi once more, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"We now have to find a new place with water, otherwise the villagers will have a hard time surviving this winter."

Fang Jinshu narrowed her eyes and deliberately avoided looking at Zhao Cunzhang.

"Uncle Zhao, what use is it for you to tell me about such a big matter."

Village Chief Zhao frowned, knowing that in this situation, no one would readily share their resources with others. They were all fighting for survival, and it was impossible for him to simply persuade them with a few words.

"Girl, Uncle Zhao is not a person who doesn't know the rules. If your village really has water, I can exchange the resources of your village with you."

"Just tell him this for me."

Fāng Jǐnxiù was not surprised, but smiled instead.

"The land in Fangjiacun was so dry it was unbearable. What else could Zhao Shu have left"

Hearing this, Village Head Zhao not only wasn't disappointed, but his spirits lifted. As long as this girl didn't play dumb, there was still a chance to continue the conversation.

"Then you should look and see what your village is lacking now."

Fan Jinshu didn't hesitate to speak, "Grain seeds."

Although she had already procured nearly five thousand jin of grain from the Wang Family Grain Store, Su Yusheng also gave her over two hundred jin of various kinds of seeds.

Now there are about 120 to 130 people in Kanemura, and every household's food supply is currently coming from them.

Thousands of catties of grain, it sounds like a lot, but she has tried her best to reduce the daily rations per household to around 3 catties. Adding the vegetables they grow, it's just enough to get by.

Even so, these provisions would only be enough for the entire village to eat for about three months.

And now winter is about to arrive, the wasteland has already begun planting grain for food, but it's not enough to feed the entire village after spring.

So Fang Jinshu still had to figure out a way to get food back, even with the cheat device of the spiritual spring water, there was not enough land or manpower.

This time she came to Fangjia Village, first to resolve the trouble between the Fang family and the Liu family.

Second, I also want to find some more resources.

Unfortunately, bandit lairs aren't just lying around anywhere. She's already taken down the two biggest ones in this area.

In the short term, it is unlikely that bandits will dare to openly wreak havoc again.

Fang Jinshi was just casually probing, and when she heard the words "grain seeds," the village chief's brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

She knew that Fangjia Village was unlikely to have any grain.

"Girl, I can't use up the last of our village's food stores for a trade."

Even if we had water, the entire village would not live long.

But I can give to people.

Who

Fang Jinxiu pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, they're short-handed on the mountain these days whether it's clearing land or building villas.

Especially for jobs with special skills.

Fangjia Village is a large village. There are many skilled craftsmen, carpenters, and other artisans in the village. If we could bring these people back to work for her, it would be great.

Perhaps the lodge could be finished before it snows.red his past. Didn't she realize he was still himFang Jinshi saw his persistence and raised an eyebrow, nodding. "Alright then, the previous Ah Yu was always obedient to me.""I say east, he never goes...
