"Min Zhi, during this time, you and the brothers will go build the house. Divide into teams of fifteen people, and have three of them help with odd jobs. This way, the construction will be faster. If you want to do odd jobs, you can choose the aunt in the team."

She paused, looked at Min Zhi and said, "If we're short of people, do you want to add more people? I'll go to the county tomorrow to get your household registration."

After hearing this, Min Zhi nodded. He looked at Tong Wenyao. The wrinkles on his face looked so real, but when he first arrived at noon, his voice was that of a little girl. Tong Wenyao saw that he was confused and asked, "Min Zhi, is there anything you don't understand?"

He hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Boss, how old are you?" Tong Wenyao chuckled and said, "How old do you want me to be?"

"Boss, you're not going to venture out into the martial arts world before you've even grown all your hair, are you?" Tong Wenyao knocked him on the head and said, "It's not that exaggerated. However, after this year, I will be exactly ten years old."

After hearing this, although Min Zhi had guessed it before, he still found it hard to believe when it came from the eldest brother's mouth. Where was he when he was ten years old? Oh, he was still in the building where the Xionghu Gang was trapped. At that time, all he looked forward to every day was to have a full meal, but the ten-year-old eldest brother dared to open a workshop and call on these evil people to work.

When Tong Wen Yao finished talking about herself when she was ten years old, she did not see any contempt or disdain in Min Zhi's eyes, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. If Min Zhi would be like this, then she would have to consider whether to beat him until he surrendered. Min Zhi had a changeable personality, so Tong Wen Yao was not sure that she could make him surrender. Originally, the leader of the village was stabbed to death by Liu'er, but Min Zhi knew the process clearly.

Not only did he not help the boss, but he also helped Liu'er escape. Min Zhi was the first to sense the murderous intent from Tong Wenyao. Ever since Tong Wenyao said that he was ten years old, that faint murderous intent surrounded him.

Min Zhi quickly expressed his stance to Tong Wenyao, "Boss, no matter who you are or how old you are, as long as you can lead us brothers to a prosperous life, then Min Zhi and the others will follow you until death."

"Min Zhi, what I said before remains unchanged. As long as you don't do evil, you can still live a decent life! Since you recognize me as your boss, I will protect you to the end."

Uncle Du warmed up the situation by saying, "Brother Min, don't worry. The boss is a good person! She was the one who paid the money to save the workshop and allowed my husband and I to live here. Even my wife was cured by the boss."

After hearing this, Min Zhi laughed and said, "I knew our boss was a good man. When we killed the Xionghu Gang, the boss was reluctant to kill him. Without further ado, let's drink first!" He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, he turned the glass downwards to show that he had finished it all.

Uncle Du saw him acting like this and shouted, "Okay, okay, Brother Min is also a straightforward person, so I will drink it all in one gulp."

Tong Wen Yao originally wanted to have a drink with them, but was stopped by the two of them.

"Boss, you can't drink." Tong Wen Yao had no choice but to put down the cup. Xing'er then brought her a cup of fruit tea.

"Then I'll drink fruit tea with wine today!"

"good!"

After drinking the fruit tea, Tong Wenyao continued to tell Uncle Du,

"Uncle Du, you have to make good arrangements for the rear area. The rear area cannot be in chaos. If it is in chaos, it will cause a chain reaction."

Uncle Du quickly agreed, but with a hint of uncertainty, he asked, "Boss, will this workshop still be in business in the future?" Tong Wenyao said, "Yes, but if the production volume of tiles and bricks is high, we will take on custom-made ceramics first. We will prioritize the other side first, but we have to wait until the new workshop is built before making these arrangements."

After finishing the conversation on a series of issues, Tong Wen Yao dragged her exhausted body back to the east wing to sleep, and Xing'er helped her wash up.

The next morning, Tong Wenyao changed back into her little girl's clothes, said goodbye to Min Zhi and the others, and took Xing'er and Dongzi to Yuguan County. She hadn't wanted to take Dongzi with her, but Min Zhi said, "Xing'er can't drive a carriage, but you, the boss, can't be the one driving it!" He then pushed Dongzi out and said, "Boss, take Dongzi with you to see the world. You'll save him from being so aggressive all the time!"

She thought that the third brother asked Dongzi to come out so that he could see the world. Since that was the case, she agreed and took Dongzi to Yuguan County.

After breakfast, Tong Wen Yao asked Dong Zi to bring people to load the owned items onto the carriage. There were three boxes in total. Originally there were seven boxes, but Tong Wen Yao asked Min Zhi to sell a small part of them on the black market, and melt them down to make other new products.

Will Ji Shikang take it over or return it to the victim?

The carriage quickly arrived at the county. Tong Wenyao spotted her brother at the city gate, dressed in armor and looking quite impressive. As they passed through the gate, she whispered to him, "Brother, when will you be off duty?" Tong Wenyao patted her head and shook his head. "I won't be going back these days. I'll go back for two days during the New Year."

After saying this, Tong Wenyao looked around and found that they were all his confidants. Then he approached Tong Wenyao and said, "You should buy some food and take it back these days. The barbarians on the border are getting restless again. They might take advantage of the New Year to attack us."

After hearing this, Tong Wenyao agreed directly, "Okay, then I'll go to the county to buy some food later. By the way, is the house at home built?"

Tong Wenyao heard her question and replied, "It's already built, just waiting for you to move in."

Not only does the family need to buy food, but the ceramic workshop also needs to buy some food. Although they moved a lot from the original Xionghu Village, it can only be eaten for a period of time. If the border is unstable and war breaks out at any time, the price of food will also rise.

The food in her space needs to be taken out and planted in the spring, so it cannot be moved. But if the border is unstable, it would be better to take out some of the seeds and buy land in the south to plant.

There was a flood in the south at this time, so buying land would be cheaper. She was calculating in her mind how much money she had available. She thought that if the south was not governed well, refugees would flee north, and the capital would not accept them. So they would eventually be dispatched here. On the one hand, this would alleviate the food shortage, and on the other hand, the lives of the refugees could be used to make up for the brutality of the barbarians!

When Tong Wen Yao thought of this, the corners of her mouth curled up. If the refugees really came here, she would definitely seize this opportunity.

After the carriage entered the city, Tong Wenyao drove it to the county magistrate's residence. Ji Shikang had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the yamen for duty. When he heard that Tong Wenyao was coming, he paused for a moment while holding the cup, and then said, "In that case, let her in first."
