I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

After a few months of peace, winter is coming.

"Madam, put this on quickly!" Qiyue helped Shen Lianxin put on a cloak. She felt much warmer immediately.

“This year’s winter came very early!”

The snowflakes outside the window are fluttering and refusing to stop.

The snow is beautiful, but it has been snowing for 10 days and it won’t stop.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if it turns into a disaster, it is hard to appreciate it.

Outside the door, someone was walking with difficulty in the snow and arrived at Shen Lianxin's door.

"Ms. Shen, are you home?"

"I'm here!" Shen Lianxin responded. It was snowing so heavily that she couldn't go anywhere. Where else could she be if not at home?

When the village head came in, Shen Lianxin invited him into the room. The room was warm with a heater burning in it.

The official rubbed his hands, which were red from the cold, and said, "Your room is still warm!!"

Shen Lianxin smiled and said, "Come and sit with me when you have time."

"Mrs. Shen, here's the thing. Our village has a good potato harvest. Although every family is in hardship, at least they are not starving to death. But too many people died in Taoshu Village, Shanghe Village, and other villages. Countless people died of starvation and freezing."

As he spoke, Li Zhengzhi shook his head and sighed.

"Didn't the people of Shanghe Village flee from famine?"

"After walking for a few months, most of the villagers died. There were conscriptions everywhere, and many of them were captured from the refugees and sent to the front. Their lives were unknown. A few days ago, the people in Shanghe Village returned with their fellow villagers. They were going to die anyway, and dying at home was more dignified than dying outside."

The head of the village shook his head and sighed, also feeling the sadness. If there was no Shen Lianxin, Yunshan Village would have had no water at first and no food later, and would have gone out to escape famine, or suffer the same fate as Shanghe Village. Thinking of this, the head of the village looked at Shen Lianxin with gratitude.

"Does the village chief have any ideas to help them?" Shen Lianxin knew that although several villages were competing with each other and no one was willing to give in, if the neighboring villages really had difficulties, they would support each other. No one could watch someone really have nowhere to go.

"The village heads of several of our villages gathered together to discuss. Now everyone is in dire straits, and only our Yunshan Village is doing well. This is all thanks to you, Shen. I told them that there is a Shen in our Yunshan Village, and he is the lucky star and noble person of the whole village. Shen has supernatural powers, can find water and food, and is a righteous person..."

Stop! ! Shen Lianxin hurriedly stopped the head of the village from flattering him any further. After all this flattery, Shen Lianxin was already confused.

"Li Zheng, please speak frankly."

The village head cleared his throat embarrassedly.

"Our village had a good harvest, and everyone went to the city to sell the extra potatoes for some money, and every family bought some winter clothes and food. We don't have much food left. I asked everyone to share some to help the neighboring villages."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Lianxin's expression. Seeing that Shen Lianxin's face did not change, he continued, "But there is not much to share. Look, during the harvest, half of the potatoes in the village are with you. I want to ask on their behalf, have you sold all those potatoes? Can you share some with them?"

"Of course, our village didn't give it to them for free. I asked them to write me an IOU. Look, they all put their fingerprints on it. When they have a good harvest next year, they will give us an extra 1% interest."

The village chief quickly took out several contracts for Shen Lianxin to see. Shen Lianxin glanced at them and saw that it was written: Today, the village chief of Yunshan Village has done a great deed to help the people of the neighboring villages with food. From now on, the village chiefs of your several villages must show respect and courtesy when they see the village chief of Yunshan Village. They must not speak loudly and must listen to the opinions of the village chief of Yunshan Village first. The people of your several villages must always remember that it was Yunshan Village that saved your lives. You must be polite and courteous when you see the people of Yunshan Village. The dogs of your several villages must not bark loudly when they see the dogs of Yunshan Village.

Shen Lianxin's mouth twitched as she read it, and she only wrote one sentence at the end: When the grain harvest is good next year, the grain borrowed this year must be returned at 10% interest. There were also several big red handprints from the village chief below.

These old men must have been bullied by the people in Yunshan Village. The old man in front of him was very proud of himself.

Shen Lianxin couldn't help laughing out loud, and the village head also smiled embarrassedly and quickly took back the contract.

"No problem. I haven't sold the potatoes I harvested this year yet, so I can give them to them. However, if they want to grow these potatoes next year, just like I said this year, half of the harvest will belong to me."

When the village head heard this, he clapped his thighs and said happily, "Okay! I told them about the benefits of our potatoes, and they were all envious. I also told them that these potatoes were brought by Shen, and if they grow them, half of the profits will belong to her. They all wanted to grow them very much."

Shen Lianxin was also happy. She was just worrying about where to put the mountain of potatoes. Now it was done.

"Next year, I'll have them sell all the potatoes for money, and I'll convert your half into silver and send it to you. What do you think? I don't think you can finish all these potatoes. You'll have to go out and sell them."

"Okay!" Shen Lianxin was naturally happy to do so. If she could exchange it for silver, that would be great. In the future, all the potatoes grown in the nearby villages would belong to her, and she could just lie down and become the landlady. It was beautiful just to think about it.

After seeing off the village head, Shen Lianxin felt that the space had become larger, and the area of ​​the spiritual spring in the space was also larger. Drinking it made her feel refreshed.

The king's injuries have healed a lot. Shen Lianxin occasionally goes in to stroke his tiger head. The king's family is extremely satisfied with this new home and has managed Shen Lianxin's space in an orderly manner. Various animals live and multiply in it, making it a small world.

The good times didn't last long, as a large army came to the village and went from house to house to collect food and wages.

The village head led his men to confront the enemy in the heavy snow.

"General, our village has already paid taxes this year, and then we also paid military rations. It's late winter, and we don't pay food at this time!!"

During the famine, grain was paid twice, and countless people had starved to death. In this deep winter, there was no harvest, and the people had to endure hunger. In the spring, they could dig some wild vegetables, plant the land, and look forward to the harvest in the new year. How could they pay grain at this time when there was a shortage of food?

"It's really not the time to pay grain!" The young general smiled. The head of the village nodded and bowed when he heard what the general said. "That's right, that's right. This year is a famine year, the harvest is not good, and there is no food at this time."

"The famine is not limited to your area. The whole country is suffering from famine. The barbarians took the opportunity to plunder. No place can pay military rations. We soldiers can't fight on an empty stomach, right?"

The village chief panicked, "General, but our village..."

Before he finished speaking, the general drew his sword from his waist, pointed at the head of the village and said, "I have heard along the way that half of the people in each village have starved to death, but the people in your Yunshan Village are well-fed and have plenty of food. The food should be confiscated!!!"
