"Although resources here are relatively scarce, it's safe, and food and water are very abundant. We have plenty of houses too.
Staying here means at least you don't have to worry about survival, and you're so beautiful, no one could dislike you.
Find someone wealthy to marry, and life wouldn't be hard."
Zhou Qing continued to persuade.
"Gulp, gulp."
Sun Yaoyao took a few gulps of beer, let out a long breath, and said:
"Living here without competing with the world is pretty good."
"Right? And the current scarcity of resources is temporary. I believe that as time goes on, human society will gradually recover.
By then, transportation will be developed, and we can establish contact with various settlement camps. We can trade food with them for various resources.
Our village has enormous potential for development."
Zhou Qing imagined the future, and indeed, this girl was quite insightful.
Food is the priority of the people. In ancient times, grains were synonymous with wealth. The South was richer than the North mainly because of fertile land, thriving waterways, and abundant grain production.
Now they are hoarding large quantities of grain. Once the settlement camps start operating and different communities establish contacts, they will become the major granary, wealth will pour in, and they will instantly become wealthy landlords.
By then, various talents will also flow in continuously, and this place might grow to be even more impressive than the First Settlement Camp.
Of course! All this is based on there being legal constraints.
"But that Cow Monster seems quite scary."
Sun Yaoyao was still a bit hesitant.
Wang Deming treats Bai Muran as a guest of honor just to lead the villagers to migrate, isn't it?
"As long as we don't get too close, it's not a big problem; the village chief is overly cautious, plus, don't you guys have guns and cannons?
If it really doesn't work out, you can just get it out and kill it."
Zhou Qing seemed unconcerned about the Cow Monster.
She was setting her sights on Wang Hao and the others.
When you think about it, the armored infantry fighting vehicle is equipped with heavy machine guns, which, in the eyes of ordinary people like Zhou Qing, are super lethal weapons.
Even if an elephant comes, it would be shot full of holes.
"Hmm..."
Sun Yaoyao nodded and then looked at Zhou Qing:
"Are there some people in the village who don't agree to move?"
"Of course! This is, after all, the land we've lived on for who knows how many generations, and with ample food and drink, it's not just some elderly but even many young people who don't want to leave.
Outside! It's too dangerous!"
Zhou Qing didn't hide anything and spoke truthfully.
Seeing Sun Yaoyao in deep thought, Zhou Qing added:
"The village is currently divided into three factions: one advocating for going to the settlement camps, one for staying here, and a neutral faction.
The stay-at-home faction is mainly comprised of the elderly and women, while the migration faction mainly consists of middle-aged and young men because they have strong fighting abilities, giving them significant influence.
The village chief initially leaned towards the neutral party with a preference for staying, but your arrival has shifted him towards the migration faction."
"It's really complicated!"
Sun Yaoyao blinked, expressing her thoughts.
Indeed, wherever there are people, there are conflicts, even in rural areas there are factions.
"There's no way around it; everyone thinks of their own interests."
Zhou Qing shrugged helplessly and picked up a can of beer:
"Come on, let's not talk about these bothersome things anymore. Let's drink—tonight, we'll drink until the world spins and forget about those annoying men."
"Yeah, let them all go to hell, those stinking men! They think they're so great, huh? With my looks, what kind of man can't I find?"
Sun Yaoyao also picked up a beer can, clinking glasses with Zhou Qing.
