Don’t worry about scarcity but worry about inequality; don’t worry about poverty but worry about insecurity.

If everyone goes to serve in the military, there is nothing we can do about it. However, if some people do not have to go, those people will not be able to bear it.

Feeling aggrieved and feeling unbalanced, I didn't dare to make trouble with the court, so I vented my anger on the villagers of Nanbeixi Village.

Why? They are all the same people. The mountains are not the mountains in your Nanbeixi Village. They belong to the court and the common people. Why can the people in Nanbeixi Village not do military service and work in the mines?

Whose family doesn’t have seven aunts and eight aunts?

When the relatives from other villages heard the news, they all ran over, crying and asking for help.

Jiang Haoguang's mother-in-law came. First she cried and begged, but when she saw that he didn't agree, she beat her daughter.

"You lose money! You don't care about your brother and nephew? I gave birth to you and raised you in vain! You heartless thing!"

Jiang Haoguang's daughter-in-law and grandson were ten years old, and they were beaten by their own mother. She just covered her face and cried.

Jiang Haoguang knew that he couldn't start this matter, otherwise all the relatives in the village would come. Wouldn't that be chaos?

Everyone is here to mine, who will go into battle to kill the enemy?

Don't fail to help, and instead mess up the good things in your own village!

He pulled his mother-in-law away and said angrily: "The married girl threw water, she is already a member of my Jiang family, why do you beat her!"

The two sons wanted to come to protect their mother, but their mother-in-law and brother-in-law also came, and there was another messy cry.

The same goes for Jiang Hongda's family. Before settling the matter with her father-in-law and in-laws, his daughter came back.

"Pfft" I knelt down in front of my parents and cried: "Father, mother, please save your son-in-law! Do you want your daughter to be a widow? Do you want your grandson to have no father? Father, mother, please save your son-in-law!"

, my daughter can’t survive, she can’t survive!

Jiang Hongda's daughter-in-law covered her face and cried. She didn't want to, but the boss couldn't do it now. She could only take care of her own family first.

Jiang Hongda's two sisters-in-law knelt down and hugged his legs and begged, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please save your brother-in-law and nephew! You are the village chief, do you have this power?"

Jiang Hongda pulled the two sisters-in-law apart and said coldly: "Because I am the village chief, I can't do this! You go back! Don't even become relatives!"

A sister-in-law was also anxious, "If you can't do it, you can't do it. I don't want a relative like you who is so selfish and doesn't care whether I live or die!"

Another sister-in-law also said: "Broken off! Broken off!"

Jiang Hexuan's house is quite clean, because when those relatives came, they didn't even enter the front door.

There were also villagers who couldn't help being harassed by their relatives, so they formed a network and came to Dongming Ziyu to plead for mercy, so that their relatives could be exempted from military service and come to work in the mines.

Dongming Ziyu said: "Yes, but the list has been submitted. If you want your relatives to come, let them replace your family members. Your family members will serve in the military."

As soon as everyone heard this, they went back without saying a word. If they were beaten, they would be beaten, and if they were divorced, they would be divorced. In the face of life and death, you must always take care of your own family members first.

Mrs. Qian took a group of old ladies and daughters-in-law to watch the excitement in the west of the village for a while, and then came back with mixed feelings.

Mrs. He sighed: "We don't laugh at others. This is human nature. If it were me, I would kneel down and beg for help to fight for a chance of survival for my children and grandchildren."

Mrs. Qian snorted coldly: "You are the best at catching up on this! When my family eats Guanyin soil, you can kneel in front of me and force me to take out the few sweet potatoes I have."

Mrs. He blushed and started crying, "Sister-in-law, there's nothing I can do about it. We are all poor. If I don't give up, your nephew and grand-nephew will not be able to survive."

Mrs. Qian snorted coldly: "In order for your child to survive, you don't care about the life and death of my child?"

If she knew that her beloved Si'er was dead, that her fourth daughter-in-law had starved to death, and that Si Ya had fallen to death trying to get water for Wu Lang, it wouldn't be a matter of dissatisfaction with Mrs. He, and she would definitely break off their relationship with her.

Mrs. He was ignored by the rebuke, so she cried and resorted to her old tricks again, "My damn man..."

"Second Aunt!" Mrs. Li interrupted her chanting and beating, "Don't cry, our whole family knows your rhetoric by heart, and we will never forget it in this life!"

Mrs. He's legs went weak and she was about to sit on the ground and cry. Mother Shuan Zhu held her back and said, "Go back first, maybe those people will come knocking on the door and ask us outsiders to give up the quota!"

Other old ladies also said: "Yes, then we will be in trouble! Your two sons will also have to join the army."

When Mrs. He heard this, her legs became weak, and she puffed out her chest and spat at Cun Xi, "Bah! What they think is beautiful! Then I will hang myself there by the long door! Let them bully others!"

Mrs. Qian: "..."

This bitch is so cruel!

He had never hanged himself in front of his own door before. He kept it in their house and didn't make any big move!

Early the next morning, the strong laborers from Nanbeixi Village gathered at the foot of the mountain east of the village.

Dongming Ziyu divided those people into groups, appointed group leaders, assigned tasks, and then said coldly and calmly: "If you cheat, cheat, or commit crimes, I will report it to Master Chu and send you to the battlefield to lead the charge.

.”

Those in the lead are all living targets. To consume the enemy's arrows is to die.

His words were clear and cold, but the coercion contained in them made no one dare to underestimate him. They all believed his words from the bottom of their hearts to be true.

Chu Xing and Qin Boxuan originally looked down upon Dongming Ziyu. He was a disaster victim, but he only reached out to help the second young master on the way and was taken care of by the second young master. They thought he was just a bumpkin.

But now that he looks dignified, has a distinguished temperament, and arranges things in an orderly manner, even they can't stand the invisible pressure.

They had to look at Dongming Ziyu with admiration. This disaster victim was not an ordinary person.

When the sun rises, ox carts, donkey carts and mule carts wind their way into Nanxi Village, carrying lime, bricks, tiles, wood, logging tools, mining tools, grain, and other materials.

Forage, etc.

As long as the departments of the imperial court operate cooperatively, their efficiency will be very high.

With the supplies in place, everyone started working.

First use white ash to mark the place where the camp will be built, mark the mountain road with white ash, and then start construction according to the marks.

The imperial court prepared bricks, tiles and wood, and the stones and wood were cut out. Dongming Ziyu had people pull them to his own site, and let the people who did not have to work to make regular stones.

Wood is trimmed and used to build houses.

Dongming Ziyu was busy in the mountains, and the affairs of the village were left to Dong Chunlei and Shuanzhu. Vegetables were planted in the pit as usual, wasteland was cleared as usual, and houses were built as usual. Except for the loss of about thirty strong laborers, everything else

usual.

But the stones and trees transported from the mines can be dried much faster than they can do it themselves.

Shuan Zhu came closer to Dong Chunlei and chuckled: "Fourth brother is still capable, he is ruthless! Not only did he exempt everyone from military service, but he was also able to go up the mountain openly, so that the villagers didn't even dare to fart, and they had to help us cut down trees.

,Smashing stones."

Dong Chunlei smiled and showed his big white teeth, his eyes flashed, and he cursed with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, the fourth child discovered the jade mine and reported it to the court and made a great contribution!"
