Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

Li Qingxiu said: "Auntie, come in!"

As soon as Widow Jia came in, she saw Li Zheng here. Then he chuckled and said: "Hehehehe... Li Zheng, you are here too, what a coincidence!"

Li Zheng hummed and said to Li Qingxiu: "Then get busy. I'll go take a look outside first."

When Li Qingxiu heard that Li was about to leave, she quickly stopped him: "Uncle Li Zheng, please wait a moment. I have something else to discuss with you."

After she finished speaking, she took a few bags of chrysanthemums in the corner to Widow Jia. "Auntie, I still have something to discuss with Uncle Li Zheng. Please help me take these chrysanthemums to dry in the sun. Xiaofeng, please go and help too."

"Okay." Li Qingfeng responded and stepped forward to take the chrysanthemum.

Widow Jia held the chrysanthemums in her arms. "No, you don't need help here. Even though there are so many chrysanthemums, they are actually very light. Xiaofeng, you'd better go and play. Auntie can handle it by herself. You guys talk slowly, I'll leave first."

Although Widow Jia did not need Qingfeng Li's help, Li Qingfeng still followed Widow Jia out. This chrysanthemum is what his sister wants to sell, so he must have some snacks.

After the two of them left, Li Zheng asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Li Qingxiu said: "Uncle Li Zheng. If this lime can really be produced, I am willing to use this lime to build houses for the villagers. But I want ten acres of fertile land, and I want the villagers to help me clear up wasteland and fertilize it, as well as five acres of it." Every acre is planted with rice.”

Li Zheng heard the words and said with a smile: "I thought it was something. This valley is much larger than the previous Lihua Village. It's no problem if you want ten acres of land. As for the farming team, we will also plant it. When the time comes, we will plant it together, folks." We don’t have any objections.”

"Of course I believe Uncle Li Zheng, but it's hard to say for others. Uncle Li Zheng should ask everyone for their opinions. If they are unwilling, I can also sell the lime to them or hire them to help me farm with lime."

As the saying goes, you know a person's face but not his heart. Although everyone seems friendly and cheerful on the outside, no one knows what they are thinking on the inside.

Li Zheng nodded. "You are right to have this concern. Let's do this. I will talk about this matter during dinner tonight and see how they react. If it is true that they are so heartless as you said, then you can't use lime to hire people anymore. OK."

After the two agreed on the matter, they left the thatched house and walked around to see where to build the house. Li Qingxiu felt that the location of the thatched house was good, so he chose the location next to the thatched house.

Li Zheng roughly measured the open space next to the thatched house and said to Li Qingxiu: "I might as well give you this open space. You can also build an extra donkey shed in it, and Da Mao can also live in it."

When Li Qingxiu heard Li Zheng mention Da Mao, she remembered that she had been too busy these past two days and had not seen Da Mao.

She turned to look at the donkey shed and found that Da Mao was not there, and the carriage had been unloaded and parked in the donkey shed.

When Li Zheng saw Li Qingxiu looking towards the donkey shed, he knew she was looking for Da Mao. Then he smiled and said: "No need to look for it, it is probably going for a walk with the three horses again."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and the neighing of horses mixed with the braying of donkeys sounded in the distance.

Li Qingxiu and Li Zheng looked over and saw three tall horses running in front, followed by a donkey that was running hard to chase the horses.

At this time, Da Mao grinned and kept barking loudly, chasing the horses in front of him and limping away.

Li Qingxiu, who has a black line, doesn't know if any of the three horses are female. If so, there will soon be the first mule in Lihua Valley.

As soon as Li Qingxiu thought of this, she heard Li Zheng say. "We can also raise horses ourselves in the future, because these three horses are two females and one male."

If Li Qingxiu wasn't too young, she would have wanted to reply to Li Zheng. There should be many donkeys produced through the system and mules in the future.

After the matter was settled, Li Zheng also went to work, and Li Qingxiu wanted to see how the six earth kilns were doing.

Just after checking the first one, I saw Li Yuqi and his gang running back in a hurry. They looked anxious as they ran and shouted: "There are many people coming."

Li Qingxiu ran over and grabbed Li Yuqi and asked, "Brother Yuqi, are you a soldier?"

Li Yuqi took a few breaths and said, "No, it's a group of refugees. They are walking towards our valley."

Li Qingxiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not a soldier. If a group of soldiers really came, she would run away with her siblings.

In the current state that everyone is in, it is 100% impossible to defeat the army of any force.

Someone informed Li Zheng, and Li Zheng ran over panting. When he heard that another group of deserters had arrived, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

Li Zheng rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "Folks! These people want to grab our land and food again. We must protect our hard-won home this time. Erwazi, take the folks to get the sword."

The swords from King Zhao's army were taken away a few days ago, and they were all placed in the house on the right side of the thatched house. Fortunately, they listened to Li Qingxiu's words and collected all the swords, so they can be put to use this time.

Some men put on armor, but were stopped by Li Qingxiu. The sword could be said to have robbed the bandits.

But the armor has always belonged to the imperial army. If word spread, it would trigger investigations from many forces, which would be troublesome.

Li Zheng felt that what Li Qingxiu said was right, so he asked the men to put away their armors and just bring their swords.

Li Qingxiu didn't want to go with her this time, because she felt that they were just a group of refugees who had not eaten or drank for many days, and they would definitely not be able to defeat the men who had been nourished with good food and weapons in the past few days.

Besides, the lime in this kiln is also very important, she must watch it carefully.

When Li Zheng heard that Li Qingxiu wasn't going, he was at a loss for a moment, "Qingxiu girl, aren't you going with us?"

Everyone turned to look at Li Qingxiu. They all hoped that Li Qingxiu would go, because without Li Qingxiu, everyone always felt uneasy.

Li Lei also advised: "Qingxiu, come with us. You can stand up to one or two hundred people by yourself. With you here, we can feel more at ease."

Li Qingxiu added some dry firewood to the earthen kiln that was almost out of firewood and then said: "We have weapons, so what are we afraid of? They are just a group of refugees. They have no food or water and they will definitely not be able to defeat us. This kind of thing may happen from time to time. If something happens, you should also train yourselves, how can you always rely on me?"

A timid woman saw that Li Qingxiu refused to go and said, "Li Zheng, since our valley is so big, it should be okay to accommodate a few more people. There is no need to fight and kill."

"What you said makes sense, then let them live in your family's food and hay shed."

After Li Zheng said these words, he asked Li Yuqi and the others to lead the way. Then he led a group of men with knives and walked menacingly out of the valley.
