My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 180 Having a well-thought-out plan
"Father!" Xin Nian called out.

Xin Wenyuan twitched his lips slightly, then quickly grabbed the booklet and jogged forward.

"June 27th, the first day of the firestorm. First team meeting. Roll call begins!"

The crowd surrounded them in layers, and although a few looked confused, most quickly got into the zone.

The team has truly grown considerably this time.

Besides the Xin family, including many constables, doctors, and brothers from Longhu Village, there were also members from the Han, Si, Cheng, Wang, Zhao, and Chang families who were brought along on their exile journey.

There are nearly two hundred people in total.

In addition, there was his maternal uncle's family and their accompanying guards, his cousin Xie Rui's agricultural and water conservancy team, the family of Prefect Lu of Binzhou, the clerks of the prefectural government, and their families.

General Chi and his family also joined the group with His Highness the Crown Prince, making a total of over 330 people.

This doesn't even take into account the fact that a group of secret guards would occasionally appear around His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Today is the day we've formed our group. To commemorate this, I'll treat everyone to a good meal." Xin Nian waved her hand. "Everyone, bring out the flour, potatoes, and carrots from the warehouse next door. Let my mother, Xie Ninglan, teach you how to make a vegetable pancake."

"It's okay to make more! There are ways to preserve it if we can't finish it all."

“And you, Chi Jue, you take these men to that warehouse across the street. I found a lot of bamboo stored there. Your task is to make bamboo tubes from it to store water later.” When Xin Nian turned to Chi Jue and the others, many guards noticed that the Sixth Miss looked at them with disdain.

It's definitely disgusting; having these filthy, smelly old men cook food would probably be a disaster.

"Alright, get to work."

At Xin Nian's command, Aunt Wang was the first to raise her hand in response, "I'll knead the dough."

The group of people were like mice that had fallen into a rice jar, busily moving and lifting things.

First, take out a row of long tables from the storeroom, and then place bamboo boards, pottery jars, and other items on them.

The crowd gathered around Chang Mianmian and Chen Ling, exclaiming in amazement from time to time.

Wow, it's really clear water.

"There really are sorcerers in this world."

"You're making a fuss over nothing. I've heard of the existence of sorcerers in the capital before."

Xie Hui approached his eldest niece with some hesitation on his face.

"Uncle, just say what you want to say."

“Niannian, it’s not that your uncle is stingy. We’re just going all out on the first day, eating and drinking to our hearts’ content. If we have to hide here for another ten days or half a month, it would be terrible if we didn’t have enough food.”

"Don't worry, Uncle." Xin Nian reassured her uncle, "There's plenty of food. We could hide here for ten or eight years without any problem."

Xie Hui couldn't resist reaching out to touch his eldest niece's forehead to see if she had a fever.

What utter nonsense! Ten or eight years? He couldn't even imagine it.

Xin Nian smiled slightly at him, took a few steps forward, and whispered, "Uncle, why do you think the Crown Prince is following us?"

Xie Hui was taken aback and couldn't give a reasonable answer.

Xin Nian winked at him slyly, "I feel like he's here to lend me a hand!"

"Most of the people in our team were probably placed there by him."

"Moreover, the route they took along the way was probably planned in advance."

Xie Hui was stunned for a few moments. "You mean? His Highness is intentionally leading us somewhere?"

“Uncle, you should ask your cousin; he’ll know more about this.” Xin Nian smiled. “Guess why your cousin took a small team with him when he fled?” Xie Hui suddenly understood.

These are all children who have a clear plan in mind.

"Don't worry, Uncle. From now on, we'll each have our own responsibilities. You'll handle things like managing personnel and fighting. We'll leave the smaller matters like food to our regimental commander."

"Commander?"

"Yes, my dad!" Xin Nian blinked and walked away quickly.

Xie Hui watched her retreating figure and chuckled to himself.

Outside, fire and rain raged, while inside the basement, a group of people spent a "perfect" day working diligently.

When they finally settled down for the night, Han Li lay sprawled out next to his brother, feeling like he could barely lift half of his arm.

But as soon as they heard "Dinner's ready," everyone, exhausted as dogs, jumped up and quickly gathered around the table.

"Line up properly, everyone get a share, don't crowd!" Chang Mianmian borrowed a small megaphone from her sister and stood in front of the dining table to address everyone.

"Before we eat, I have something to announce. Starting today, the team will be implementing a points system."

"Huh?" The group of people who were waiting to eat looked at Chang Mianmian with blank expressions.

"What is the scoring value?"

"The points system means that everyone will be given one point for each day they work. More work, more points; less work, less points."

"With the points you have, you can buy food or daily necessities from the group leader in the future."

Everyone looked at each other.

Han Li rallied his spirits and asked loudly, "Miss Chang, who is the regimental commander? Is he your sister?"

“The team leader is my uncle.” Chang Mianmian glanced at him and continued, “Today, given everyone’s outstanding performance, my sister has decided to add one point to everyone’s daily base score.”

"Don't underestimate these points. From the day the group is formed, points will be our currency. You'll see how valuable points are later! The more points, the better. As long as we work together, we'll definitely create a happy and fulfilling new life!"

"Let's create a happy and fulfilling new life together!" Chen Ling raised her arm and waved.

The Wang family of four were the first to realize what was happening, and like die-hard fans, they immediately started waving their arms and shouting slogans.

Xie Ninglan turned her face away, her shoulders trembling slightly, and cleared her throat, calling out, "Let's eat first!"

However, the leader of the pyramid scheme, Chang Mianmian, had not finished speaking.

She continued, "To show our sincerity in teamwork, we will provide food and water free of charge for the first three days. But starting from the fourth day, we will provide meals and drinking water for a fee."

"One point can roughly buy a family of four their daily food and water needs. The point clerk, Chang Mianmian, is always at everyone's service."

"To learn how to earn points, please refer to the points handbook from the guild leader. Each person can earn a certain number of points each day by working, hunting, or searching for any resources. Please refer to the points handbook for details."

Xie Ninglan glanced at everyone. Their expressions were normal, and it was clear that many of them had never intended to eat and drink for free from the beginning, and they were basically aware of this.

That's the good thing about talking to smart people—it's effortless.

Perhaps everyone was initially confused about things like forming groups and the points system, but with their intelligence, they should be able to adapt after three days.

The group's formation day took place in this underground parking garage, where everyone spent the day diligently and peacefully, seemingly in a daze.

"Alright, everyone, let's eat! Those who want chili sauce, please line up over there."

The team quickly began distributing vegetable pancakes. After taking a bite, whether it was a placebo effect or not, I felt refreshed and my fatigue vanished.

"I added some energy potatoes to the potatoes, not much, but it looks like it works pretty well mixed in," Xie Ninglan whispered to the girl.
