Chapter 243 She wants to make Chenjia Village bigger and stronger, step by step to build a town and then a county
While the two were talking, some disaster victims had gathered around them, all of whom were the leaders of their respective families.
They were all very surprised to see that Xiao Ying was so young and beautiful, and became more curious about her background.
Chen Jie took the opportunity to say, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is the Madam Xiao I mentioned to you. The place you are going to stay is her house."
The victims immediately bowed to express their gratitude, their eyes filled with gratitude.
"Thank you, Madam Xiao."
"Madam, you really have a kind heart!"
"Thank you, Madam Xiao, for providing us with accommodation. Our family will always remember this kindness."
“…”
Although it was not very clear, everyone could see that there was a large group of houses in front of them. Mrs. Xiao was willing to lend them such a large and nice house to live in. She was really a good person!
Xiao Ying accepted everyone's thanks calmly, and looked at the group of skinny people with a lot of emotion in his heart.
"This was originally a temporary workshop of mine, but it became vacant due to relocation."
"There are a lot of rooms inside. The five large rooms in the front row can each accommodate a family, and the three warehouses in the back are even larger, each accommodating two families."
"There are also several lounges and utility rooms. If we squeeze in, two or three families should be able to stay. There is also a row of toilets inside, but you have to clean them yourself."
"I know the conditions are simple, but it's just a temporary place. You can move out once your own house is built."
The victims were extremely satisfied. It was already great to have a place to stay when they first arrived in the village, let alone such a big and nice house.
"We are very grateful to the lady for lending us the house."
"Yes, yes, Madam, don't worry, we will definitely build our own residence as soon as possible and will never cause any trouble to you."
“Thank you, Madam Xiao, thank you, Madam Xiao.”
This time, not only the leaders of each family, but also other men, women, young and old came forward to express their gratitude, their eyes shining brightly and full of hope in the moonlight.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Then you can allocate rooms according to the number of people in each household. If you need anything, just tell the village head. The village head of our Chenjia Village is a good and responsible person."
These words made Chen Jie feel embarrassed. He straightened his head and chest and decided to behave better in the future.
He coughed lightly and said, "We've prepared some straw mats, tables and chairs for you inside. They're all things that your family doesn't need. I hope you don't mind."
Now that Chenjia Village is rich, every household has bought a lot of new things, and some of the old ones have been discarded.
"Thank you, Li Zheng, and thank you to all the villagers!"
The victims were so moved that their eyes filled with tears. They really came to a good village.
"Alright, hurry in. We'll divide the residential land and wasteland for you tomorrow morning. Don't be late."
Chen Jie smiled and waved his hand, leading the person into the workshop.
Seeing that everything had settled down, Xiao Ying also left with Ling Yun and the others.
Her proposal to accept so many people was not a whim, nor was it simply out of pity and sympathy, but rather a long-term plan.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in this world, you must establish a complete sect.
It is far from enough to have a group of monks. There must also be a group of people serving the sect, and Chenjia Village is a good choice.
She wanted to make Chenjia Village bigger and stronger, preferably into a town, a county, or even a state, which would require enough people.
The five major immortal cultivation families of Yue Kingdom all occupy one state. She does not have that kind of power now, so she can only take it step by step.
The arrival of the disaster victims was a good opportunity. She could take advantage of it to accept a group of people and expand the scale of Chenjia Village.
In addition to these resettled disaster victims, she also planned to buy more people, send some to the fairy palace, and send the others to the deep mountains.
This also gives those poor people who were sold a way to survive.
So the next morning, she asked Kang Ruolan and He Changgui to go to the dental clinic, and Xiao Qian also went with them, just in case.
Her original words were to buy as much as she could. The six hundred acres of spiritual fields in the fairy palace required at least two hundred people to cultivate them, and at least one or two thousand acres could be reclaimed in the deep mountains, which could easily accommodate five or six hundred people.
She also planned to select some people to take care of the children with spiritual roots. Some of the children were too young and could not rely on Ren Han and others alone.
In this way, you can buy eight or nine hundred people.
By then, all these people will be registered under her name, and she belongs to Chenjia Village, which means that the population of Chenjia Village will exceed a thousand.
In this way, it will not be long before a town is built.
When Kang Ruolan and the other two left, the victims also followed Chen Jie to divide the wasteland and residential land. Only then did they see the two large workshops in the village and could not help but feel surprised and envious.
Hearing that every household in the village has one person working in the workshop, I became curious. I wonder if they will have any opportunities in the future?
It took a whole morning to divide the land for all fourteen households, and the next step was to repair and build houses.
These people were very poor and certainly could not afford to build brick houses, so they could only build thatched huts.
Fortunately, everyone received 500 copper coins, so it was no problem for each household to build a few thatched houses.
Chen Jie organized the villagers to sign up to help, and soon gathered hundreds of people, both men and women.
The victims were very grateful and after discussion, they decided to pay each person twenty cents a day. Although the villagers felt that it was not much, they also expressed their understanding.
In fact, this price is already quite high in the countryside, but because the workshop pays too high a wage, it has spoiled their appetite.
But the victims had no choice but to get lunch. Each of them only received 30 kilograms of food, and they had to survive the next few months.
Finally, Chen Jie suggested that they go to the soap workshop canteen to eat, with the victims paying for the meal, and each person only paid three cents for lunch.
The victims were surprised and happy at once, and quickly agreed. They never expected that there was a special place for cooking in the village.
So that afternoon, the construction of the thatched house began in full swing.
Hundreds of people were divided into three groups, so that three households could build at the same time, and the progress was very fast.
By the evening, several walls had been built and it would probably be completed by tomorrow.
Kang Ruolan also had a good harvest. Due to the drought, the number of people sold increased sharply. She bought more than 300 people from several dental shops.
These people include men, women, young and old, but there are limited young and middle-aged men, and the majority are women and children.
Kang Ruolan felt pity. Fortunately, the lady was kind-hearted and happened to need a large number of manpower, otherwise who knows where these people would be sold to.
On the second day, Xiao Ying came to pick them up in person near Hongye Town. Some of them were sent to the Immortal Palace, and the other part was sent into the mountains.
What surprised her was that she actually found a child with spiritual roots, although they were only pseudo-spiritual roots.
The child's name is Shitou. He is nine years old and has only one fourteen-year-old sister. The two were sold together.
Xiao Ying simply arranged for both of them to go to the sect. His sister was in charge of taking care of the children, and five helpless women went with them.
A batch of food and supplies were also prepared for those who were sent to the fairy palace and the mountains, and they were barely able to settle down.
"How's things going in the county town today?"
On the way back, Xiao Ying asked casually.
Kang Ruolan said: "Some more disaster victims have arrived, estimated to be several hundred people, and it looks like they won't be able to stop coming anytime soon."
Xiao Ying nodded. "I think the situation at the brokerage is similar. If you go there again in a few days, you can buy another 500 people at most."
"Understood, ma'am."
Kang Ruolan secretly marveled at the fact that Madam's business was really expanding.
Xiao Ying was thinking that once the drought was over, Chenjia Village would probably be able to change its name.
