If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

After planting the gourd baby, Xia Chen was immersed in unspeakable happiness. No matter how Xia Tongpan laughed at him, he looked at the string of small gourds on the gourd vine with a grandfather-like loving expression.

This is a space storage plant, so he dared to think about it in this direction when he was dreaming. Even if there was a system space, it would be very inconvenient to go in and out every time he took something. The place was rented from Xia Tongban.There is nothing like the doomsday or cultivation novels that Xia Chen has read, the kind of calm and breezy feeling that the protagonist waved his hand and disappeared in an instant like a mountain of material.

What's even better is that these small gourds can be used by other people. Xia Chen researched it a bit. As a manifester, he can set the users of the gourds to be used by only one person, multiple people, or completely open to use. .

For example, he gave his father a gourd. When giving it, he can set it to be used only by his father, or his family, or simply sell it, and the buyer will use it for whomever he wants.

As for the setting method, if the user is limited, a drop of the user's blood is taken to be absorbed by the gourd, which feels a bit like recognizing the master with a drop of blood.

In addition, the larger the volume of the gourd, the shorter the storage time. For example, the purple gourd with the smallest volume has a storage space of only half a cubic meter. It's been half a year.

The red gourd has the largest storage space, which is as big as a small room, but correspondingly, its existence time is very short, less than a month.

When the date of existence is reached, these gourds will become ordinary gourds without space storage capacity, and the color will become the yellow-white color of ordinary gourds.If the materials stored in it are not taken out in advance, they will either be swallowed by the space, or they will be sprayed out by you directly.

What's better is that the gourd will gradually change color when the countdown to the date of existence is approaching, reminding the owner.

Of course, although there are still some disadvantages in the use of gourd dolls, Xia Chen has magic books. Whether it is because of the small space or the short existence time, as long as they are converted into cards and then upgraded, their volume and existence can always be improved. Time.

After planting the gourd baby, Xia Chen really wanted to take it out as a gift to family and friends, but considering that a complete female parent can only make a complete copy, Xia Chen endured it and took the gourd baby card to make a copy first, and was ready to wait Save some more and take it out.

During this period of time, the life of the refugees in the outer cities gradually got on the right track.

After confirming that it is impossible to enter the city wall in the short term, and they will live here for a period of time, some people with more flexible minds picked up suitable branches and stones, asked the villagers for some straw, and slowly built a crude room.

Others have learned and learned. Although it is safe to stay inside the iron tree wall, it is better to have a shelter than to sleep on the ground.As for the real lazy people who don't want to work, they can't live at all. Even if they rely on bullying others to grab other people's things, they have to move anyway.

So in the outer city surrounded by the iron tree wall on the second floor, simple and dilapidated huts were built one after another. With a shelter, these refugees gradually had hope in their eyes and a smile on their faces.

When they came here, they were in such poor health that they couldn't do much work at all, and many people were still sick. Xia Chen could only let them feed them first. They had some very simple food every day, and they couldn't even be fed. Of course he doesn't lack food for a full stomach, but he can't let these people get used to being given. Even if Xia Chen said that he borrowed it and has to pay it back later, isn't he still unable to exchange it? What if they get used to being in debt all the time?

Some people live in a daze, some eat as soon as they eat, and move less when they are not full, and some people are smarter and know how to seek more food.

They first tentatively asked the members of the guards who came to patrol if they could make deals with people in the city. Of course, the guards didn't dare to answer casually, and first reported it to their deputy captain. Dare to go to his immediate boss, Wen Shu.

Zheliu reported to Xia Chen, and Xia Chen thought it was interesting, so he agreed. This is also a channel for him to select talents.

After getting an affirmative answer, it didn't take long for the person who asked first to talk to the villagers who were ramming the ground behind the first row of tree walls, trying to sell the firewood they had collected.

In their current situation, the only free resources they can get are firewood in the forest, and of course there are some wild vegetables and fruits, which are usually eaten, and the villagers will not care about these things. The forest is not dense, and there are few animals that can be hunted.

Although firewood is not rare, but what if someone is unwilling to collect firewood or the family is rich and wants to buy firewood? Their firewood is sold at a very cheap price, and it is dried and bundled in a large bundle. That's it.

I don't know if this person can talk, or if the villagers are moved with compassion. Although they don't need firewood, they really introduced a client to him.

Uncle Meng’s family has been making lo-mei, which costs firewood. Although their family has a large population, they have things to do. The children train and go to school, men farm and women do housework and cook lo-mei.It’s not like other people’s houses, they can get enough firewood for a long time. They can only collect firewood after finishing their work, which is very tiring.

It is much more convenient to buy firewood for use. Although they need to spend more money, but because their family makes braised meat and has several children in the guards, their family background can be said to be very good. This firewood money is really nothing.

What's more, these refugees are not like the villagers. Now they only want to accept lottery coins.

At first, Uncle Meng's family went to exchange. They were kind people, and although they heard what the refugees wanted, what they took was still the most scarce food.

Later, it was the refugees who offered to ask for some old clothes, because they couldn't wear the clothes of the children here.

When the villagers discovered that everything can be exchanged for firewood, they were all moved. Which one didn't save some tattered, cracked earthen pots, wooden boards left over from making furniture, rotten leather that was peeled and reluctant to throw away, even the ground? If you pick two eggplants and a handful of beans, you can exchange them for firewood.

So the whole village, old and young, acted together, separated by a row of tree walls, and people on both sides passed things back and forth through the gap like visiting prisons.

Speaking of which, the gap is not very small, and children and thinner people can easily pass through it, but so far no one has dared to take a step beyond it.

The people in the village have a vague sense of superiority. They know that people from outside want to come in and join them, but Young Master Xia refuses to let them, and they have to go through selection.

They are happy to maintain this enviable state, and even have a bit of a superior mentality when interacting with refugees, which greatly improves their happiness, and they are not willing to take the initiative to break this boundary.

The thoughts of the refugees are more straightforward. What kind of life the villagers live can be glimpsed from their food and clothing and some intentionally revealed words, which makes them red-eyed with envy.If they can live in the city and live such a life with housing, land, food and drink, they can do whatever they want.

So how dare they go against Xia Chen's wishes, if he refuses to let in, no one dares to take a step over, even the ignorant children are repeatedly taught by their parents not to sneak in.

In this transaction, it seems that the villagers took advantage of it, and exchanged a pile of unused junk for firewood that must be used. In fact, the refugees are slowly gaining a foothold through this method.

These things that the villagers look down on are urgently needed for the refugees who have nothing. With the earthen pot, they can cook hot food by themselves.With wooden planks, you can find a few stones and make a bed instead of sleeping on the damp ground.The rotten leather can be washed and seamed, and it can also be used to make a pair of crotch pants for children.

As for those grains and vegetables, cooking them in one pot will make them richer and better nourish the body, and other messy things can also find reasonable uses.

Xia Chen looked on coldly, thinking that the person who proposed the idea of ​​changing firewood was really capable. Apart from anything else, it was not easy to just build up relationships with the villagers and ask them to help introduce customers.

To start with this, he has to supply enough firewood. In addition, when Uncle Yao’s family was the only customer at the beginning, the price of firewood was already low enough to suppress other people and prevent them from forming unhealthy competition. up.

At the same time, the quality of firewood must be guaranteed. If their firewood is not clean and easy to burn, there will be no repeat customers.

Xia Chen asked the patrolling guard to observe. The man divided the people into groups. The strong men went to collect and transport firewood, while the women took care of the children, searched, dried and bundled the firewood, and the exchanged materials were distributed reasonably.

He was the first person to start. After convincing his group, he started to work slowly. After the food was exchanged in the hands of the Yao family, many people wanted to intervene, but at this time the villagers had already joined in, so there was no need to worry about supply It is better than asking too many people to share his benefits.

However, this is not a long-term business. There are limited firewood in the forests on both sides, and the villagers cannot burn firewood so fast.Seeing that the business is getting worse day by day, many refugees sigh, and are very reluctant to give up the only job that can be exchanged for supplies.

Meng Mingjun is very optimistic about this man. He has inquired that this man named Yi Shan is literate, and he likes to be literate. It would be great if he could help him share some work.

Xia Chen wanted to see if this person had any other ideas, after the firewood couldn't be sold.

Yi Shan is indeed a successful person with a long-term perspective. After the enthusiasm for the firewood business subsided, he organized his staff again and began to sell other things.

Among the refugees was an old man who had excellent weaving skills. Dry grass, chopped bamboo, and branches with leaves could be turned into various useful or delicate things in his hands.Beautiful and sturdy bamboo baskets, bamboo strips and bamboo mats, cute and exquisite straw woven animals, even the young mother used the pocket money Xia Chen gave her to buy a straw woven little fox.

Xia Chen believes that if there are other talents among the refugees, they will be gradually discovered by Yi Shan. It's just that those people's skills are not as low as the old man's demand, so they don't show up.

After Meng Mingjun repeatedly asked, Xia Chen finally let go, and he could call Yi Shan in to help him. Of course, this person's background has been investigated in advance.

However, unexpectedly and within reason, Yi Shan did not agree, and instead hoped to exchange his place in the city for someone else.
