"Is it strange that I sympathize with him?" Hua Fengyu looked at Mo Lan's teasing expression, his face turning somewhat unpleasant.
"A little bit~" Mo Lan shrugged innocently, sat down behind the tea table, and began to fiddle with the tea set.
Hua Fengyu: "..."
"Lan'er, I heard that you went to White Tiger Cliff today and selected a group of people to take to the mountains for training?" Hua Yifei looked at his daughter's increasingly calm expression, and after a complicated moment, he looked gratified.
"Yes, Qinglong Village's defenses are too weak. It's always good to prepare early. The world is too chaotic. We must leave some protection for the elderly, weak, women and children in the village."
She wouldn't stay cooped up in the mountain stronghold forever; she'd eventually have to venture out and explore. Before that, she needed to ensure the stronghold's safety. In addition, she needed to prepare a group of men to help her when she went out to make her way in the world.
Hua Yifei frowned as he listened to his daughter's tone. Could it be that Lan'er had some plans?
Thinking to himself, Hua Yifei asked directly, "Lan'er, do you have any ideas?"
"I do have some ideas, but it's not the right time yet. I'll let you know as soon as the time is right."
She needs a lot of money!
As the old saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first.
She needs enough money to get the service station and customs clearance route sorted out in one go.
Mo Lan stroked the teacup, calculating the assets seized from Mandala: two boxes of gold and silver bricks. If she could just find a place to melt them down, even if it wasn't enough, it would be just about enough.
The problem is that bricklayers are hard to find, and I don't know if we can hire a construction team from Ye County.
Thinking of this, Mo Lan couldn't help but frown. Although Qinglong Village had never committed murder or robbery, it was still known as a bandit stronghold, so the craftsmen probably wouldn't dare to come and work there.
I just don't know if the people from the surrounding villages will be willing to come here for the money.
She'll go and investigate later.
"Do we have any bricklayers in our village who know how to build houses?" Mo Lan asked, looking at the father and son.
"Why are you asking these questions, Lan'er? Do you want to build a house?" Hua Yifei looked at his daughter with a puzzled expression. How did the topic of building a house come up again?
"Pretty much. Are there any people in the village with this kind of talent?"
“There are bricklayers, but their skills might not be very good. They don’t have proper teachers. Look at the houses in our village, they were all built by ourselves.” Hua Yifei looked at his daughter’s bright eyes and became even more puzzled.
"If you know how, that's fine. We can find an experienced master to train you later. Tomorrow, Dad will make a call in the village and register all the skilled people. They can do anything. They say every profession has its top performers. After registering them, it will be easy to check. When we need someone, we can just flip through the register."
Now Qinglong Village has at least seven or eight hundred people, and the staff is quite diverse, so their skills must vary. Making it into a booklet will make it much easier to look up information.
Hua Fengyu's eyes lit up when he heard Mo Lan's suggestion. "Lan'er's method is good. I'll help Father register everyone and make a list of all the people. In the future, we can just assign people based on what kind of talent we need. This way, there will definitely be no problems."
“Alright, while the village isn’t too busy, we can start the statistics tomorrow.” Hua Yifei took a sip of tea and nodded in agreement.
After seeing the father and son off, Mo Lan began drafting a special training plan for the new recruits.
This time, she directly appointed four squad leaders as instructors. They would undergo three months of intensive training in the deep mountains, and those who failed would not be allowed to leave the mountains.
The people selected this time all have a foundation in martial arts; if there are no results after three months, they will be eliminated.
