I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 198 The Chief's Plan

The village heads had made it clear in advance that unless these farmers were really stupid, they would definitely listen to Gu Wenxuan's advice and put saving their lives first when encountering danger.

Gu Wenxuan was very satisfied with the cleverness of the village heads. She nodded and said, "Then you should supervise each other and don't hold others back."

Someone with quick thinking asked tentatively, "Boss, can we give you the extra food for safekeeping?"

This way they don't have to worry about not being able to take food with them when they run away.

Gu Wenxuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, if you want to do this, you can go to the village head to register later."

After that, she instructed the village head, "If you want to do this, you should weigh, record, and give a receipt. Check carefully and record who deposited how many dou and liters, what was deposited, whether it was new grain or old grain."

"The day after tomorrow I will send someone to transport the grain you have deposited. From now on, at the beginning and middle of each month, you will report to the village head the amount and type of grain you want to take back. Within three days, I will have someone distribute the grain you want to take back to you."

Gu Wenxuan's thoughts were so thoughtful that the farmers who were originally hesitant about handing over their grain to others for safekeeping couldn't help but become interested, and so more and more people brought their grain to deposit it.

Gu Wenxuan ignored them and went back to the farm they had visited before. She briefly told the people in the farm about how she and Bai Jingzhou could keep food for everyone.

They visited all the villages one after another and gave instructions to all the farmers and survivors of the bandit camp who worked for them. Only then did Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou lead their people back to the village.

As soon as they entered the village, before they had time to separate and go home, Bai Lizheng's eldest grandson chased after the carriage that Gu Wenxuan and her friends were riding in and stopped Gu Wenxuan.

He told Gu Wenxuan that Bai Lizheng had something important to discuss with her.

Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou looked at each other, and then went to Bai Lizheng's house side by side.

Bai Lizheng was looking for Gu Wenxuan because he wanted to set up a patrol team in the village to protect the village's safety.

He sought out Gu Wenxuan because everyone in their family knew some martial arts skills, and Gu Wenxuan was the best among them. There was no one in the whole village who could last more than ten moves against her.

Together with the half-grown children like Bai Jingzhou and her uncles, they are all actually her disciples in terms of martial arts. Her appeal among these top fighters is unmatched.

Bai Lizheng is a very nice person, which is one of the reasons why the villagers of Baijia Village can live much better than those in other villages.

The Gu family had received favors from Bai Lizheng, so Gu Wenxuan gave Bai Lizheng face.

As soon as Bai Lizheng said this, Gu Wenxuan nodded and agreed immediately, "Just tell me if there's anything you need us to do."

With her giving him so much face, Bai Lizheng's mood, which originally seemed like a mountain pressing down on his heart, suddenly became less heavy and more relaxed.

He said to Gu Wenxuan, "I want you to be the captain of this patrol team. If you are willing, I can arrange Jingzhou, your parents, and your cousin from the Fang family to be deputy captains and team leaders."

Although Bai Jingzhou is well-known for his low combat power in the village, it depends on who he is compared with.

The experienced Bai Lizheng knew clearly that in Gu Wenxuan's small group, Bai Jingzhou might be the weakest in combat power, but if his opponents were ordinary strong men who had not received special training, he could at least beat two or even three at the very least.

In addition, he is smart, kind, fair, and has good interpersonal relationships. Most importantly, he is an excellent doctor. The villagers are three times more polite to him than to his father.

With a person like this as the deputy captain, even if there are any disputes in the team, he can easily resolve them, right?

Gu Wenxuan felt warm in her heart, and she said, "I'll do as you say."

Although this personnel arrangement was made by Bai Lizheng, he made it completely from Gu Wenxuan's perspective.

These people are all those who are easy for Gu Wenxuan to use, and Bai Lizheng is in charge of the arrangements. Others have no room to question Gu Wenxuan's nepotism. It can be said that all aspects have been carefully considered for Gu Wenxuan, so how could Gu Wenxuan not agree?

She agreed, and Bai Jingzhou, who came with her, had no other objections. Bai Lizheng immediately invited several clan elders, including Gu Yongming whom he had just mentioned, to his home.

Now that everyone was present, Bai Li was not in a hurry to talk about anything. He first arranged for his wife and daughter-in-law to cook, and then he frankly told them his plan in detail.

He had already communicated with several clan elders one by one in advance, and everyone was very calm at the moment. The only ones who were not calm were Gu Yongming and others who heard about this for the first time.

But this matter is only beneficial to them and the village, and there is no reason for Gu Yongming and others to disagree.

Especially when they heard Bai Lizheng talk about his idea, they had even less reason to object.

Bai Lizheng's plan was very comprehensive. Not only did he plan to arrange people to patrol the village and set up checkpoints at the village entrance, but he also planned to set up sentries on the other three sides of the village to prevent someone from sneaking into the village from other places to do bad things instead of taking the main road.

"You have considered all aspects. Let's do as you say." Gu Wenxuan did not comment on the patrol plan, but she did add some other content.

"My family and Jingzhou's family have discussed it. We are willing to take out some food every day to prepare some hot soup and porridge for the villagers who are responsible for night patrol."

"In addition, if a villager is injured or killed while protecting the village, should the village also come up with a detailed compensation plan? What are the compensation standards for minor injuries, serious injuries, and death? Where does the money for compensation come from? Should we discuss these in advance?"

Bai Lizheng thought for a moment, "This money must be paid by all the families in the village. After all, they are injured or killed for the sake of the village, and everyone in the village has the responsibility to help solve the worries. As for the compensation standard, I have to discuss this with the village elders."

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "Then I'm sorry to trouble you and the elders to take care of it."

Bai Lizheng waved his hands and said, "We are just talking, the real hard work is done by you young people."

Gu Wenxuan smiled and said, "Our village is not well-defended. If there are large numbers of refugees, or even bandits or the army, who come to rob us of our food, money, and men, even if we fight to the death, we will most likely end up with a tragic ending of our homes being destroyed and our people dying."

"Instead of doing that, I think we should just take everyone away from the village when things get really bad."

"I built a large-scale shelter in Jiajia Village. Grandpa Lizheng, would you like to take some time to go and take a look?"
