Survive through the ancient apocalypse

After strolling around, the two arrived at the city.This year, there was a drought near Yangshan County. Although they did not flee, there were more people who sold their children and daughters.

Most people in the market are ragged, sallow and emaciated.Seeing them, Ye Mingze thought of the end times he might face, and also of the changes in himself, so he wanted to try his luck in the market.

After some inquiries, he chose Fang Zhongren who had a good reputation and was engaged in human trafficking.Ye Mingze made it clear that he wanted to find a few strong servants, men, women and children.After Fang Zhongren heard this, he wandered around the crowd market, and he was followed by six or seven people, including men, women and children.

"Young Master Ye, don't look at the fact that most of these people are skinny, they are indeed the most powerful in this market. There are still quite a few who are a little bit weaker. If you need me, I will call them over."

"Not for the time being, I'll take a look at these first." Ye Mingze's selection of servants this time has a strong purpose, which is related to their survival in the future. As long as the character is not up to standard, everything else is out of the question.

This group of people looked honest and honest, and they seemed to be from farming families.After referring to Jiang Jingzhi's opinion, Ye Mingze decided to buy all seven of them.You know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart. It looks good now. If there is a problem in the future, it will be sold again.

Among the seven people, there is an old man in his late fifties, three young and middle-aged men, two daughter-in-laws, and a young man under 20 years old.

"Tell me what kind of work you have done before and what skills you have. From left to right, come one by one." Jiang Jingzhi's family used to have a cloud of servants, and he has some experience in this.

After some questioning, the detailed information of the seven people was obtained.

Grandpa Sun gave Ye Mingze a surprise, he actually knew the weather.The most important thing to go to sea is to avoid all kinds of catastrophic weather in the ocean. With him in charge, the safety is greatly improved.

Every time before going to sea, the people of Yejia Village would ask the experienced elders in the village, and only after getting their affirmation would they decide whether to go to sea.If the answer is no, they would rather miss a good day than risk going to sea.This shows how important it is to know how to look at the weather.

And that's just before going to sea.Once out of the sea, the weather on the sea changes rapidly, and everyone can only judge by his own experience, and one mistake may be buried in the sea.If there is someone on board who can watch the weather, it can greatly improve the safety of the people on board.

Except for Old Sun, that young guy Feng Dashan knows a little bit of carpentry, so it's hard to say anything else, it's no problem to make a table and chairs.The others are all ordinary farm children who are good at doing farm work.

Looking at these seven people, Ye Mingze thought of a question: "Fang Zhongren, do they still have family members to sell together?"

"Yes, I'll call someone over right away." Fang Zhongren heard that there was still business, and ran away happily.

Mr. Sun has no family and is alone.There are only four family members. Feng Dashan has a 15-year-old brother.There are two young adults, Zhen Qing has a husband and wife, a son and a daughter, the children are still young, and the other Wang Gui brought a little boy.Wen's family is the largest, a family of five, a husband, two sons, and a daughter.

It is the most cost-effective to buy the whole family together, and children are basically incidental.Among these sixteen people, there were five children alone, and Ye Mingze bought them all for only 60 taels.

Nearly twenty people piled up together were too eye-catching, Ye Mingze asked others to wait at the entrance of the market, and brought Jiang Jingzhi and the original seven people to continue picking people.

Ye Mingze told the seven people what to choose next, and only choose those who make them feel particularly comfortable.

Hearing the host's strange request, the seven of them had no objections.Looking at each stall by turn, I really only found five people who met the requirements.

Before Ye Mingze said anything, the seven of them didn't feel anything.Once they had this awareness, they also felt strange, why didn't they have this feeling before, did they ignore it before?

The five people didn't feel much when they were separated, but when they got together, together with Jiang Jingzhi, the scope of influence spread to several stalls around.Fortunately, no one has noticed this, otherwise it's his turn to take advantage of this?

These few people have initially possessed the effect of soothing people's hearts. Over time, as time goes by, their ability will become stronger.

Of the seven people he bought earlier, Ye Mingze was still not sure how many of them were sentinels.The five people who bought later can basically be concluded that they should all be guides.

Ye Mingze bought all five people, including their four family members, for a total of 35 taels.This time, he bought a total of 25 people, including seven children, at a cost of 95 taels of silver.The 100 taels that were originally planned to buy Tianzhi land were almost spent.After doing the math, he still has less than 20 taels on hand.This is thanks to the fact that he stayed in Yejia Village and spent almost no money.

As a result, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi have 37 servants, and they only have [-] acres of land, and the annual output is not enough for these people to eat.These are the little things, though.Ye Mingze bought someone this time to prepare for going fishing.

He felt that these people were not enough. In the future, at least one shipbuilder would be required. The minimum requirement was to be able to repair boats, and if you counted those who could watch fish schools, the difference was more than one and a half.Take your time, let these people take turns to go to sea first, earn some money for turnover, and wait until next year, depending on the situation.

These people stayed in the dirty city for several days, and it was not known whether they had any diseases.Ye Mingze was worried, so he took them to the medical clinic to check them one by one. After seeing that there were no major problems, he prepared to go home.

When passing by the cloth shop, Jiang Jingzhi remembered that there were not so many quilts at home, so he turned into the shop and bought some cheap cloth and cotton.Ye Mingze told him that he would buy new quilts and padded jackets for his family, but he didn't plan to use the cotton in the one-acre field at home.

It took a lot of time for the buyers, and they had already been waiting for a while when they arrived at the meeting point that they had made an appointment with Father Ye.Seeing the crowd of people following his son, Father Ye was a little confused.

The carriage that the four of them took when they came, now there are more than [-] people, one carriage is not enough.Ye Mingze briefly explained, Father Ye didn't ask any further questions, and went to hire two more carriages.

Three carriages entered the village, which once again aroused the crowds of the villagers.Originally, only the Dong family had a carriage in Yejia Village, but Jiang Jingzhi brought one later, so there were only two in total.Now I saw three cars at once, so it would be strange not to attract crowds.

Fortunately, Jiang's house was on the east side of the village, and the crowd of onlookers did not follow him, otherwise it would be no surprise to see so many people.

Ye Mingze thought of buying someone on the spur of the moment, so there was no preparation in Jiang's house, so he could only temporarily clean up the remaining rooms.One room per household, if not enough, several people who are single will share one room.

There was not much money left, Ye Mingze didn't buy finished products, so he had to ask his newly bought daughter-in-law to rush to make bedding overnight.

After tidying up the seven people who bought first, Ye Mingze inquired carefully, and found that they were not born with supernatural powers. They used to be a little stronger than others, but it was not obvious. They only increased their strength recently.

After hearing this, Ye Mingze knew what was going on.He picked 16 people and divided them into two groups of eight people each.The suspected sentinel guides picked up this time were evenly divided into two teams.The two groups of people went out to sea in turn, this time the boat was full of people, and they went out whenever they could go to sea.

Jiang Jingzhi's nanny's family is quite special, and Ye Mingze has no plan to let them go to sea.After discussing with Jiang Jingzhi, it was decided that Zhang Bo would be in charge of Jiang's house, and Qin's mother would lead a few daughters-in-law and girls to manage the kitchen.Zhang Sen* didn't assign work for the time being, and Jiang Jingzhi happened to be there on call when he had something to do.

One bad thing about Yejia Village is that it can only grow grain for one season.With the same number of acres, the south can support twice as many people as here.Two acres and a half of land here can support one person, and this is still in a normal year, when there are almost no other expenses.If you encounter an illness, or even encounter a disaster year, just wait and starve!

After the servants were settled, Jiang Jingzhi had a belated lunch at Jiang's residence, while Ye Mingze rushed back to Ye's house, believing that his mother and younger sister must have left a meal for him.Although Jiang Jingzhi no longer eats medicinal food, his current food is also very fine.After stopping the medicated diet, he originally wanted to eat with the Ye family, but Ye Mingze refused.Jiang Jingzhi's body is still slightly weaker than ordinary people, so it is better to eat as much nutrition as possible.Ye Guy's diet has gradually improved, but it has not yet reached this standard.The Ye family still doesn't have the ability to eat meals that meet Jiang Jingzhi's physical needs every day.

After Ye Mingze got home, Ye Liu brought the reserved meals into his room.At this time, Father Ye had finished his meal, he walked slowly into Ye Mingze's room with his hands behind his back.Since the eldest son got married, he has not entered a new house.Pass the money from the fish sale in the morning to the eldest son, a total of one tael of silver.Ye Mingze was not polite to his father, nor did he refuse, he readily accepted it.

"Mingze, what are you buying so many people for?" Ye Mingze only briefly explained to them, but Father Ye didn't know the specific reason.

"The main purpose is to let them go fishing at sea, and help them go to the fields when the farming is busy."

"So how much food do these people consume in a year? Your wife's field is not enough for them to eat! Going to sea is risky, and you can't get this harvest every time. Is it worthwhile to raise so many people?" Father Ye was worried. Well, if the eldest son's family is having a bad day, they won't be happy either.After all, he still has three children to take care of, so he cannot subsidize all of them to the eldest son.He naturally hoped that his children would have a better life.

"Father, don't worry, let's not talk too much, every time I go out to sea, it's not a problem to catch a hundred catties." Ye Mingze didn't believe that their luck was so bad that they dragged the net for a day but couldn't catch anything.

Father Ye was noncommittal at first, but suddenly remembered that last time his eldest son was dragging fishing nets around in the sea, he felt that by doing this, it was really possible to go to sea without empty hands every time, so he stopped worrying.
