After distributing some food, they quickly appeased hundreds of Chenjiagou villagers.
Han Xi arranged all these villagers to the entrance of the village, while the Hui people were arranged to the end of the village.
Han Xi and his party live in the center of the village.
The people in the village may not have been fleeing for a long time to avoid taxes, so the houses are not very dusty and can be moved in with just a few picks.
Chenjiagou has more than 160 courtyards and more than 700 houses.
Because three generations live together, most of them are courtyards.
Among them, the best adobe house belongs to the village chief and several clan elders. They are all large courtyards with two entrances.
Han Xi chose a house near the center of the village and moved in directly.
Looking at the empty house, Han Xi looked at the empire system, rummaged for a while, and quickly found cotton.
One hundred kilograms of cotton costs thirty imperial coins, which is not bad. The price of one hundred kilograms of cotton in Yan'an Prefecture is almost ten taels.
Han Xi found some sacks from the village and stuffed cotton into them to use as a pillow. Sleeping in the open air these past few days had tortured him.
Spending three hundred imperial coins to buy thousands of kilograms of cotton.
Winter is coming soon, so don’t buy a few quilts in advance for the winter.
Get a quilt, a thin one of about ten pounds of cotton will do.
Han Xi casually spread the stone bed with cotton, then covered himself with some cotton and went to sleep. Normally I would probably still be playing games at this time, but now I can only sleep.
Early next morning.
Han Xi woke up from the cold, and all the cotton on his body was scattered on the ground. He stood up, patted the cotton off and walked out of the room.
Looking at the imperial soldiers guarding outside, Han Xi thought about calling a few farmers to come out to handle the logistics.
Thinking of this, Han Xi didn't hesitate.
He spent 300 imperial coins to summon ten farmers, and then saw ten farmers in blue appearing in the room.
Six women and four men.
Han Xi looked at the ten people up and down for a moment, then asked, "Can you cook?"
"Yes, we can all cook." The six female farmers in blue said.
The four male farmers did not speak.
"What else do you do besides cooking?" Han Xi asked curiously.
"We can also farm, hunt and gather, build houses, weave..." The female farmer said a dozen things in a row.
Han Xi's eyes lit up after hearing this. This is a multi-functional talent.
But Han Xi soon noticed that many of the things mentioned required spending imperial coins to upgrade and unlock technology.
Whenever Han Xi looks at someone, a small window will appear on the empire system panel, which he had never noticed before.
Han Xi looked at the window.
[Choose 1. Farmer]
【Choice 2. Craftsman】
[Choose 3. Manager].....
There are many choices of identity. The initial identity is a farmer, with four basic skills: farming, hunting and gathering, mining, and tree felling.
Han Xi chose the identity of a craftsman for a female farmer, and then more choices popped up.
[Choose 1. Textile worker]
[Choose 2. Carpenter]
[Choose 3. Coiner].....
Looking at the dense selection, Han Xi had a headache, and finally chose the textile workers, carpenters, and blacksmiths who were most in demand at the moment.
When Han Xi clicks on the textile worker, a prompt pops up.
[Unlocking textile workers requires turning on textile factory technology]
Textile factory technology?
Han Xi flipped through the imperial space and quickly found the textile factory technology, but soon became blind.
Unlocking this technology actually costs 100,000 empire coins.
Soon, Han Xi sighed helplessly and said, "You have people collect some stones and come back."
"Yes, General." The soldiers at the door quickly ran out of the courtyard.
After a while, Han Xi, who was bored with waiting, grabbed pieces of cotton, thinking about marshmallows.
Seeing that there was no change in the cotton in his hand, Han Xi raised his eyebrows and then tried to stuff it into his mouth.
Suddenly a sweet taste filled the mouth.
Han Xi was eating and waiting in the room.
Two quarters of an hour later, his men gradually brought in large rocks. Han Xi's eyes darkened when he saw it. Was he trying to tire himself out by picking up such large rocks?
After this period of time, Han Xi has understood the abilities of his hands.
Things must be held or lifted to change, and they cannot change shapes at will.
For example, when a stone turns into gold, what it looked like originally is what it will look like after the change.
If it turns into liquid, it will fall to the ground immediately.
Han Xi sighed, picked up the stone and turned it into silver for imperial coins.
Han Xi picked up a heavy stone and felt its rough texture and cold temperature. He concentrated, imagining the silvery light inside the stone, then slowly transforming it into sparkling silver.
Half a day later.
Han Xi shook his sore arm and converted 20,000 imperial coins today.
That's 20,000 taels, and the total weight lifted back and forth probably amounts to 1,250 kilograms. After opening a textile factory, there are still 7,800 imperial coins left.
After leaving the room, Han Xi felt his stomach growling with hunger.
"Go get me a roasted lamb and a bowl of rice." Han Xi ordered. He remembered that there was rice in the grain truck.
"Yes!" Soon, several female farmers left and went to the kitchen.
"Brother Xi, you finally came out." A Niu raised his head and shouted outside the courtyard.
Han Xi waved his hand to signal the guards to let A Niu in.
After Ah Niu came in, his stomach growled.
"Hehehe!" Aniu scratched his head in embarrassment.
Han Xi immediately understood that the food was guarded by imperial soldiers, and the sheep naturally did not dare to move without his order.
So for half a day, a group of people were hungry with me!
"Let me kill two sheep to make soup, make some pancakes, and eat them in the village's grain drying field. I have something to say then," Han Xi instructed.
"I'll go right away." Aniu left just as quickly as he came. Han Xi was so furious that he was speechless.
Soon, everyone in the village was gathered, tables were moved out one by one, and a group of township party members assigned work.
In just a moment, the barnyard was in full swing.
"Grandpa! Do you want to eat mutton?" A girl wearing a loose and shabby robe asked in a low voice.
The old man swallowed and watched as the two sheep were killed and put into dozens of earthen pots for cooking.
"Ying, you should be able to drink some soup! You should be smarter later," the old man said softly.
After hearing this, the girl kept nodding her head, thinking, is this the bandit that the villagers say eats meat and drinks wine?
I'm really envious. I wonder if the bandits will accept women.
At this time, Han Xi was speechless, thinking that he didn't even have an iron pot.
But think about it, a small iron pot costs a penny, and even if it was available, it would be taken away by people fleeing the famine.
Helpless, Han Xi thought, he would get some blacksmiths out later to see if they could make a big pot.
While the village was cooking a big pot of rice, more than a dozen government servants appeared on the farmland path of the village.
The sharp-mouthed yamen servant winked and smiled and said: "Xu Tou, the crops in the county are frozen to death this year, and it must be the same in Chenjiagou. Then we will go to the village chief's house and capture his eldest daughter to be your concubine. . Haha, her thin skin and tender flesh must be very comfortable."
Xu Tou's mouth watered as he heard the scene where the eldest daughter was being abused.
Thinking of the graceful figure and round white face of the eldest daughter of the eldest family member in Chenjia Village made her feel hot.
"Just walk a few steps faster." Xu Tou waved his hand and strode towards Chenjiacun.
