Seeing the indignant look on Lord Hu's face, Jiang Lili smiled and made an excuse to get away with it: "Maybe I'm just lucky!"

"If you need to raise some cattle or sheep, you can exchange them with me for silver or gunpowder! Or you can buy them on credit first, and I'll charge you less interest."

Hu Chen's attention had been diverted by Jiang Lili's words. "You're still charging interest? What kind of relationship do we have?"

The three of them came to the place where the prisoners were held, where there was a stone house surrounded by large stones and wooden fences.

Hearing the noise outside, the prisoners in the stone house came forward and slammed the cages arrogantly.

The prisoners were locked up in this stone house and would be taken out by soldiers at fixed times.

Hearing the noise, the prisoners immediately looked over.

When they saw Jiang Lili, their eyes immediately widened and they spoke obscene words in a greasy tone.

"Master Hu, is this beautiful lady also a serious criminal sent here? Is she going to be locked up with us? Hehehe."

Some prisoners rubbed their hands like flies rubbing their hands, revealing obscene smiles, while others whistled at Jiang Lili...

Hu Chen complained to Jiang Lili, "These prisoners were sent here to work and reform, but they can't be used. Without anyone to supervise them, they slack off and even deliberately break the looms."

Hu Chen said this, and when he saw the evil attitude of these people, he immediately frowned: "What are you doing? Do you want to be whipped again?"

Sheng Zhixing frowned and blocked Jiang Lili behind him.

Jiang Lili didn't take these scumbags seriously. She took a quick look around and turned away from their sight.

Hu Chen caught up and said, "Jiang girl, it's my fault for not being considerate enough. I shouldn't have brought you to a place like this. It polluted your ears and affected your mood."

Lord Hu thought that Jiang Lili left quickly because she was frightened by these people.

However, when he saw Jiang Lili's expression, he was stunned.

There was no panic or fear on Jiang Lili's face. On the contrary, her eyes were bright.

She smiled and said in an excited tone: "I have an idea."

County Magistrate Hu met Jiang Lili's clear eyes. When she said this, there was a bright smile on her face, but County Magistrate Hu felt a chill down his spine.

Let’s put it this way, this was the first time he used the word “perverted” to describe a little girl’s smile.

Jiang Lili's dimples grew deeper as she smiled. "Believe me, it won't be long before they'll be working diligently and with a positive attitude. You won't have to worry about them!"

"And your supplies will increase rapidly!"

Hu Chen has always believed in Jiang Lili's ability. Although this girl is a bit sinister, she always keeps her word.

He felt that perhaps he should observe a moment of silence for the prisoners in the camp. Jiang girl's smile was so strange!

"Jiang girl, what are you going to do?"

"To keep them in check, I need to ask my second brother for help first." Jiang Lili asked Hu Chen to give her some time: "Old man Hu, I'll come back to you when I have what I need."

Hu Chen nodded: "Don't worry, our camp can still survive this winter. You and the prince have also provided us with a lot of supplies."

After saying goodbye to Hu Chen, Jiang Lili took Sheng Zhixing and headed towards Lishan, their mountain residence.

In the past few months, Xin Che has planted many pear trees along the road leading to the large cave villa where they live. When the pear blossoms on Haizhou Island bloom in mid-to-late February, the way home will be very beautiful.

People then named the hill where they lived Lishan.

Sheng Zhixing followed Jiang Lili, unable to suppress his curiosity: "Lili, how are you going to make those vicious prisoners behave?"

Jiang Lili snapped her fingers at Sheng Zhixing: "They're all in jail, so of course they have to work on the sewing machines!"

Not long ago, Jiang Lili asked Xiaopang to purchase a set of three manual spinning machines, looms and sewing machines.

Although she has a backpack and can contact factories through Xiaopang to wholesale clothes, her energy is limited and she cannot take care of everything and take care of so many people.

The only way is to increase productivity and make this place develop rapidly.

Starting with the spinning machine is to learn from history. Wasn’t the first industrial revolution marked by the improvement of the spinning machine?

Xiaopang told her yesterday that the three-piece textile set had arrived and would come in handy.

“The modern and improved three-piece suit can really improve work efficiency.”

Sheng Zhixing glanced back at the stone house that was already far behind him: "But are these people willing to work obediently?"

Jiang Lili walked forward, waving her hands and saying, "When you're under the heavy pressure of life, you have to work even if you don't want to, and you have to work hard."

"Come on, come with me to find someone."

Jiang Lili brought Sheng Zhixing to Lishan.

After half a year of construction and upgrading, Lishan has been upgraded to an ecological manor, with the stream flowing down the valley as the dividing line. On one side of the stream are functional areas with flower beds, stables, cattle and sheep pens, and arable land planned in an orderly manner.

On one side is the residential area. In front of the natural cave discovered by Jiang Lili and his friends, there are three small wooden houses and courtyards. Zhaoping Hou and his wife, Xin Che Jiang Lili, and Xin Cheng and his wife live separately, but not far from each other.

Master Liao and his mother Yin Zhen don't live in the mountains often, so their cabin is still under construction. Master Liao said that when his son grows up and doesn't need to be carried up the mountain anymore, they will come and live in the mountains.

"Welcome to Lishan Community!" Jiang Lili introduced Sheng Zhixing enthusiastically. "This valley is huge. We hope that our classmates will choose a location on the mountain and live there! They'll occupy the entire hilltop."

"There are hot springs and natural spring water in the cave. The water pipes have been connected. When you move in, the spring water will be brought into your home!"
