Chapter 325: As a Fallback
By the time Yue Yi finished reading all the rules written by Yue Fu Li, more than half an hour had passed. The bandits also gradually changed from being impatient at first to listening attentively.
Because they found that although these rules were constraints on them, they were not without benefits.
After Yue Fuli finished the meeting with the bandits, she handed the task over to Yue Yi and the others. As the master, she only needed to tell them what was needed, and the rest was up to Yue Yi and the others.
Yue Fuli, who was temporarily free, went straight to find those women to see whether they would leave or stay.
"How about it, have you thought it through?" Yue Fuli looked at them and asked lightly.
"We want to go back and see our family first, and then come back, okay?" Lao Wu spoke first. She missed home so much that she decided to go home.
If the people at home treat her well, then she won't come back. If the people at home treat her badly, she will come back.
"Are you considering this place as your escape route?" Yue Fuli looked at Lao Wu coldly and said, "This isn't a charity. You only have one choice: either stay in the mountains for the rest of your life, or leave and never come back."
Are you kidding? This is going to be a military base. If people inside can come and go freely, what secrets can there be?
Originally, the other three had the same plan as Lao Wu, but after hearing Yue Fuli's words and knowing that it wouldn't work, they immediately decided to leave.
With fifty taels of silver as settling-in allowance, plus some jewelry given to them by the boss before, even if their family members don't like them after they return home, they can live well with this money.
With this thought in mind, the four women chose to go down the mountain.
Yue Fuli kept her word. Not only did she give each of them fifty taels of silver, she also had someone send them to the nearest town so that they could return home.
Afterwards, Yue Fuli cleared out all the people who needed to be cleared out, and then asked Yue Yi to take people to pick up several families from Shangluo.
When Yue Yi went to pick people up, Yue Fuli toured the mountains near the village, and then led the rest of the people to open up the wasteland.
More people means easier work.
By the time Yue Yi brought Shangluo and others to the mountain stronghold, Yue Fuli and his men had already reclaimed dozens of acres of mountain land and planted crops in the fields.
There is no shortage of water in the mountains, so Yue Fuli directly planted rice.
As Shangluo and others went up the mountain, they saw Yue Fuli and his men working hard in the fields.
Yue Fuli saw Shangluo and the others coming and walked out from the ground, smiling and greeting them, "Mr. Shang, you are finally here."
"Miss Yue, you are really fast."
"There's no other way. We can't just sit back and enjoy the empty mountain like the bandits and then go down the mountain to rob. From now on, I'll have to ask Mr. Shang to take care of the affairs in the mountain."
"Sure, sure."
As they talked, they returned to the village. Yue Fuli had already cleaned the courtyard. Except for the one she kept for herself, Shangluo and the others could choose any other courtyard.
Shangluo and his two friends quickly selected a courtyard and moved their belongings in. Although it was a cottage, the courtyard was quite nice.
Knowing that this would be their home from now on, the three families put their belongings away and began to decorate the house. If there was anything missing, they could report it directly to Yue Fuli, and she would find someone to help buy it.
After settling the people down, Yue Fuli stayed on the mountain for a few more days. Only when they got used to life in the mountains did he go down the mountain.
