8. Chapter 8 Survive and find a way out

Finally, Mu Qianye came to the room.

"Boss, this is the best room here." The second idiot lit the lights in the room for Mu Qianye. When the lights came on, Mu Qianye saw that the furnishings in the room were very simple, probably because a man lived there before.

"Don't worry, boss, there are no bugs in this quilt." Erluzi said nervously, fearing that Mu Qianye would kill him if he got upset.

"Come here." Mu Qianye sat down in front of the round table in the room.

"Ah?" Erluzi looked at Mu Qianye in panic.

"I look terrible? Will I eat you?"

"No, it won't."

Erluzi quickly sat down obediently.

"Let me ask you, what do people in Lingnan do for a living?" If you want to survive, you must understand the environment in which you live.

"Lingnan is located in the southernmost part of the Beiyi Kingdom, close to the Nanhuai Kingdom. There are many mountains in this area, few fields, and the land is barren, and the yield is often not high, so the life of the people here is not very good. In the past, people came and went here

There were many merchants, so there were cottages outside, but later, the imperial court sent people to build a waterway on the other side, and from then on few merchants passed through here."

It turns out that this is the case, Mu Qianye was wondering, in a place at the junction of the two countries, the economy and trade should be relatively developed. It turned out to be caused by the terrain.

When Mu Qianye woke up and walked out of his room, he saw Mo Poqiong training several other bandits in the open space downstairs. It was obvious that Mo Poqiong was very concerned about his brothers.

Mu Qianye walked down, causing the expressions of the bandits who were practicing to change. They were still afraid of Mu Qianye.

Mu Qianye smiled at a few people, "Don't be afraid, I have something to tell you. I have a general understanding of the situation in the village. Now that I have become your boss, I can't let everyone go hungry anymore, can I?"

"

As he spoke, Mu Qianye took out some silver coins from his arms and handed them to Mo Poqiong, "Go buy some food and come back. Buy as much as you can. After eating, I want to discuss the future development plans of the village with everyone!"

Mo Poqiong looked at the silver taels in his hand. It was a full two taels of silver. If he saved some money, he could feed his brothers for several days.

Mo Poqiong took Er Lengzi away for a while, and when they came back they both had a bag on their shoulders and a cloth bag in their hands.

"Da Shunzi, quickly take this bag of rice to the kitchen and make some porridge!" Mo Poqiong immediately handed the rice he bought to Dashunzi, who was always responsible for everyone's food.

There is a canteen in the village. It is quite large, but it has been vacant for a long time. Now Mu Qianye and the others are sitting in front of a long table, waiting for Dashunzi to cook delicious food, while Mu Qianye starts talking to him.

Let’s talk about Shanzhai’s future development plans.

"You said that most of the people in this area are very poor, and few businessmen have passed through here in recent years, so robbing is no longer easy to do, right?" Mu Qianye confirmed this information to everyone again.

"Boss is right." Mo Poqiong was the one who spoke, "So, this place has declined." Mo Poqiong was referring to this cottage.

"In that case, have you thought of any other way out?" Mu Qianye asked again.

The dozen bandits looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Boss, what else can we do besides robbing? Although we were having a hard time during the robbing, we had to eat one meal without finishing the next, and worry about tomorrow after today, but at least we survived. Many people in this area are starving to death."

Er Lengzi said, a little sad, his family just starved to death.

"If I could find a way for everyone to have a place to farm, a place to work, and a place to make a living, would you be willing to follow me?" Don't be a bandit!

Everyone fell into silence, but Mo Poqiong broke the long silence, "As long as it can make the lives of the brothers easier, I have no objection to anything you do."

"Boss, I used to farm. I became a bandit because I couldn't eat enough. I have no objection." Bandit Goudan expressed support for this.

"But where did we get the land and where did we get the seeds?"

Mu Qianye thought for a moment and said, "Mo Poqiong, after you finish eating, you can take two more people to accompany me for a walk in the mountains!"

"Everything follows the boss's arrangements."

After breakfast, Mu Qianye went into the mountain with Mo Poqiong, Dashunzi and Goudan.

The mountain road is rugged, the mountain is covered with various trees, and it is a barren mountain.

The method of cultivating terraces in the mountains is good, but it cannot be done in a short time. The terraces she saw in modern times were completed by local people for hundreds of years, so it seems inappropriate to use them now.

What is the simplest and most direct way to make money quickly?

The only silver left on her body was left by the man in black. She had lived frugally along the way. Although she still had some money left, it was not a long-term solution. She could not just sit back and have nothing with everyone. She had to find a way to survive.

Money begets money.

"Boss, be careful. There are thorn bushes ahead. Let's avoid them."

"Are you familiar with this mountain?" Mu Qianye looked at Mo Poqiong. This man had fluffy hair and a big beard that covered most of his face. It was impossible to see his appearance clearly.

"Yes." Mo Poqiong nodded.

"That's good." As soon as Mu Qianye finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of something and walked over immediately.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Dashunzi saw Mu Qianye staring at a bush in a daze.

"This is tea. It's autumn now. It's just about to sprout. The leaves are of different sizes. The bottom of the leaves are crispy and the leaves are yellow. This should be Tieguanyin." Mu Qianye's face suddenly showed a joyful smile.

.

Dashunzi and Goudan didn't know why when they saw this.

"You mean this wild tea tree is Tieguanyin?" Mo Poqiong asked.

"Yes, Mo Poqiong, you are very familiar with the mountains. Now I want you to take people to the mountains, find wild tea trees that are sprouting like this, and then look at them, pick these new sprouts like this, and put them into bamboo baskets or cloth bags.

Here, bring them back to the village, this is an order! Remember, I only want sprouts of this length, so pick them carefully!"

"Yes, I obey!" Mo Poqiong didn't know why, but facing Mu Qianye with such a temperament, he was willing to obey from the bottom of his heart.

Mo Poqiong, Dashunzi, and Goudan hurried back to the copycat machine to inform all the brothers.

Everyone brought all the bamboo baskets and cloth bags that could be used in the village, and the thirteen grown men went into the mountains to find wild tea trees to pick tea!

After Mu Qianye returned to the cottage, he entered the kitchen.

The kitchen is huge, after all, it was once a place that provided meals for so many bandits.

There are three stoves alone.

Mu Qianye stepped forward and opened the lid of the pot...
