When Li Lanzhen took a strip of paper about two fingers wide from Bai Houpu's hand.

Looking down, it said:

"Mother, 113 wounded soldiers have nowhere to go. Can they go to Peach Blossom Spring?"

After reading it, Li Lanzhen looked up at Bai Houpu and said decisively.

"Can!"

After saying that, he handed the note to Bai Houpu and turned to walk towards his own courtyard.

Bai Houpu held the note in his hand, watching Li Lanzhen's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh.

Is she really just an ordinary peasant woman?

After Xuan Shen and Su Chen were rescued by Li Lanzhen.

Bai Houpu then inquired about Li Lanzhen from Manager Hua.

Manager Hua told him in detail the results of his people's investigation into Li Lanzhen.

At that time, they knew that Li Lanzhen was a genuine peasant woman.

With no other forces supporting them, they felt reassured.

However, the Peach Blossom Spring was changing rapidly, and many things they had never seen before were constantly emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

They were repeatedly amazed by Li Lanzhen's wisdom.

I am also grateful for my good fortune to have met such a kind and wise woman in this chaotic world!

When he took the letter from the carrier pigeon's leg, he thought it was a message from the Crown Prince.

Upon opening it, they discovered it was from Han Mingjiang to Li Lanzhen.

After reading the letter, to be honest, he immediately thought that Han Mingjiang was just making things difficult for Li Lanzhen.

More than 100 people, including the disabled, have come here. What should we do?

This means Li Lanzhen is supporting these disabled people!

They all witnessed Li Lanzhen's hardships and difficulties.

Women and children make up the majority of the population in this paradise.

If another batch of disabled people arrives, life will likely be difficult in the future.

He also heard Li Lanzhen's thoughts on the development of Peach Blossom Spring.

If that's the case, Li Lanzhen won't even be able to achieve her goals this year, let alone next year.

However, I then remembered that Han Mingjiang said these wounded soldiers were from the battlefield.

He couldn't bear to leave her, so after hesitating for a while, he went to find Li Lanzhen to show her the note.

Unexpectedly, Li Lanzhen only said one word after reading the note.

"Can!"

To be honest, Bai Houpu was a little surprised when he heard that!

Because Li Lanzhen agreed too quickly!

When she opened the note, Bai Houpu observed her expression.

Before he could discern Li Lanzhen's emotions, he heard her utter this single word.

This means that he should reply that he agrees to let Han Mingjiang bring these wounded soldiers to Peach Blossom Spring, and that she is willing to take care of them.

What an incredible magnanimity!

Honestly, if he were to make this decision, he wouldn't agree to it so easily.

He might consult with others, weigh the pros and cons, and then make a decision.

Bai Houpu watched Li Lanzhen's disappearing figure and muttered to himself.

"A woman with the demeanor and talent of a great general—she's truly an extraordinary person!"

As Li Lanzhen turned to leave, she knew that Bai Houpu was watching her from behind.

She could also guess what Bai Houpu was thinking.

Before opening the note, Li Lanzhen was a little scared, afraid that something had happened to Han Mingjiang.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent the message to her through the Crown Prince's communication channel.

After opening it, I saw what Han Mingjiang had said.

All Li Lanzhen could see in her mind were "homeless, wounded soldiers," and only then did she think about "whether it could bring them to a paradise?"

Li Lanzhen felt relieved. What was wrong with that?

The soldiers who defended their country sacrificed their homes and even injured their bodies for the sake of the nation.

Since Han Mingjiang has made this request, it means that these people are allowed to come here.

Moreover, she could believe that Han Mingjiang could not have brought more than 100 people who were unable to take care of themselves here.

Just then, she was worried that the amount of land she was reclaiming was increasing, and the number of acres planted with grain was also increasing.

The number of livestock and poultry in the farms is also increasing.

...

People are needed everywhere, but Peach Blossom Spring is desperately short of them!

So, come on!

As Li Lanzhen walked along, lost in thought, she went to find Han Dazhong.

"Village chief, I want to discuss something with you."

Han Dazhong and Zhang Deshui were checking the drainage of water from the rice paddies.

After the water is drained and the rice is left to dry for two days, it's ready to be harvested.

"Lanzhen, what's up?" Han Dazhong patted the dirt off his trousers and greeted her with a smile.

Li Lanzhen then recounted what Han Mingjiang had just told her.

"So right now, there isn't enough housing. That's how I see it."

When they arrive, their housing should not be built as a single courtyard.

How about this?

As she spoke, Li Lanzhen squatted down, picked up a stick, and began drawing patterns on the ground.

Han Dazhong quickly said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, Lanzhen, don't worry."

Even if you tell me, I don't really understand. You should call Zhaoxiong over and tell him directly.

I'm afraid I might not be able to relay the message properly, and that would be bad.

Li Lanzhen stopped what she was doing, looked up and thought about it. She realized that she was indeed a little anxious.

Zhang Deshui reminded the two of them, "Han Zhaoxiong and Songshu are still reclaiming wasteland."

"Just go there and look for it."

Han Chaoxiong was in charge of all the construction work for the courtyards and houses in Peach Blossom Spring.

He became more and more proficient in construction.

Currently, there are enough courtyards and houses in Peach Blossom Spring, and there is even a row of five courtyards to spare.

However, Li Lanzhen decided to let these 113 people live in a large courtyard.

Firstly, they can look after each other, and secondly, it is easier for them to manage themselves.

Li Lanzhen planned that after they arrived, she would let them choose their own team leader to manage the daily lives and work of these 100-plus people.

The two of them moved quickly and found the pioneering team.

The land reclamation team consisted almost entirely of young and middle-aged men, and all the bulls from the cattle farm were concentrated here, including the non-pregnant cows.

When they arrived, the pioneering team was chanting loudly; they were competing in three teams.

They were all wearing only sleeveless short-sleeved shirts, and the sun had tanned their skin dark.

Sweat streamed down their strong bodies.

But every face was beaming with a bright, sunny smile.

Seeing their energetic and happy expressions despite their exhaustion, Li Lanzhen smiled along with them.

Han Dazhong saw Han Zhaoxiong and shouted at the top of his lungs from afar.

"Zhaoxiong, nephew, come here quickly!"

Han Zhaoxiong saw two people standing at the edge of the ground.

He lifted his jacket to wipe the sweat from his face and ran over quickly.

"Auntie, Uncle, is there something you need?"

Li Lanzhen recounted once again the story of Han Mingjiang bringing back 113 wounded soldiers from the battlefield.

Han Zhaoxiong was taken aback at first, "So many people!"

Then he grinned and said, "That's great! The soldiers who came from the battlefield are all men, and they're strong. We won't have to worry about not having anyone to do the work!"

Li Lanzhen smiled along with him. They were both kind and good children!

"You see, after they arrived, I thought I wouldn't arrange for them to stay in the courtyard we had already built."

Build them separate dormitories.

As they spoke, the three of them squatted on the ground. Li Lanzhen drew while telling Han Zhaoxiong what to do.

After listening, Han Zhaoxiong slapped the back of his head, looked at Li Lanzhen, gave her a thumbs up, and chuckled.

"Auntie, you are truly talented! How did you come up with this idea? This house is easy to build; we'll start tomorrow."

Han Dazhong said, "You don't need to start tomorrow. Let's start this afternoon. First, prepare the materials and lay the foundation. We'll get all the dormitories built as soon as possible."

"Don't wait until over 100 people arrive and there's nowhere to stay; that would be a real problem."
