"What's the old man's name?" Su Qi and Gu Beiheng walked a few steps. The old man was followed by several farmers.
Along the way, he introduced the situation in the fields to Su Qi.
Speaking of farming...
The sad expressions on the faces of the elderly were gone.
He even showed a happy smile, and his wrinkled face was full of hope.
"My surname is Diwu, and the village was called Diwu in the past. Madam, you can call me Diwu Zhang." Diwu Zhang's old face relaxed a little, as he felt that the master and the mistress were not such vicious people.
Su Qi raised her eyebrows. This name was different.
A few people arrived at the back of the village, and at first glance, all they could see was fields. Xianyue Peak was already the largest peak in the area, and after the land reclamation was completed, it looked like there would be another two hundred acres of land.
In addition to the few small hills scattered around, the strongholds there have been captured by Wang Rufa.
You can also build some terraces along the hills.
By this calculation, Xianyue Peak can be built into a granary if the surrounding hills are taken into account.
From now on, this place will become a paradise on earth.
Su Qi had an idea in her mind, and she whispered to Gu Beiheng what she was thinking.
Gu Beiheng didn't expect the little woman's method to be so good.
He nodded and said, "Qiqi, let's do as you think. Li Dapao and the others will stay here to formulate the rules and then take all the surrounding mountains into their possession."
"Okay. I plan to open a meat jerky processing factory here, and we can also develop the breeding industry here in the future."
What's the point of fighting and killing all day long?
Wouldn’t it be nice to work hard at farming and live a simple life?
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng reached an agreement and returned to the place where they had previously met.
Her eyes were cold as she looked around. She asked the Fifth Zhang and the others, "There are two options for you now. One is to leave here and make a living on your own, or to stay in the village and cultivate the land."
"It's not that you can stay just because you want to. Those who want to stay must pass our review and only then can they stay.
What I need here is someone who is loyal and devoted. If I ever discover that you have ulterior motives, don't blame me for turning against you.
My principle is joint responsibility. The offender and his family are equally guilty. Everything must be done according to the rules I set."
Su Qi paused after speaking, her eyes sweeping over the crowd again. "If you can be loyal, I will naturally provide you with food and clothing."
The fifth person and others all looked up at the fifth day in the middle.
On the fifth day, he was wearing shorts, half his face covered in scars. His left hand was bent in an odd shape, and he hesitated for a moment.
Seems to be thinking about something.
There was no expression on the terrifying face, and the look in the eyes kept changing, eventually returning to calm with a hint of determination.
The fifth day took the lead and knelt down. "I, the fifth day, would like to thank the master and the lady for taking me in. I will do everything the lady says."
The corner of Su Qi's eyes twitched. Do these people choose names so arbitrarily?
"Get up."
"On the fifth day, you will be in charge of these people temporarily. From now on, you will assist us in management here, and you will be held responsible if anything happens to our subordinates." Su Qi's face was cold as he looked at the people in the field with different expressions.
"A country has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. Our village also has its own rules. You should go back and gather your things first. Then wait for arrangements."
"Thank you, Madam."
Su Qi asked Diwutian to stay and followed them to the front hall.
After some discussion.
Wang Rufa led eighty people to stay.
Su Qi tapped her fingers on the table. "Beiheng, let's send a letter to Yingyi to arrange for Meng Daguang and his brothers to come over. We also need to build the greenhouse here."
"I know you have this plan. I have already sent a letter by flying eagle. Let two people come from the kang-making team to teach them how to make the kang." Gu Beiheng chuckled dotingly.
Su Qi felt warm in her heart, it turned out that he understood everything she was thinking.
Gu Beiheng's eyes flickered. "Qiqi, you take care of the food. I'll arrange for everyone to dig the cellar and build the charcoal kiln."
"good."
Fortunately, Su Qi had a trick up her sleeve and left some food, cloth and clothes in one of Qin Pangya's private warehouses.
She ordered Shouhou to bring some people to carry out all the food, cloth and clothes inside. These things were to be arranged by Wang Rufa, and from now on, both men and women here would have to work.
Those who don't work will be thrown into the mountains to fend for themselves.
The order was issued.
Su Qi wrote down the rules and regulations.
Gu Beiheng asked for personnel to be arranged on the fifth day.
Dozens of them went to chop firewood, and the others selected a dozen people who could build houses to build charcoal kilns.
The rest of the people began to dig a cellar.
However, in just half a day, apart from the change of leader, there seemed to be no impact here.
Li Dapao led other soldiers to dig a big pit.
Throw the bodies into the pit and prepare to bury them.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng came here, Gu Beiheng carrying two wooden barrels in his hands.
Without saying a word, he poured all the gasoline in the barrel into the pit, and then threw in a lighter.
Suddenly a raging fire broke out.
"What a sin. He didn't even leave a corpse after death. This master is so cruel." The old man who was working there trembled with his heart and had no thoughts in his mind.
I only want to show my loyalty.
They are afraid that after death they will not even leave behind their bodies and will become wandering ghosts.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng didn't expect that this action of theirs would bring them unexpected gains.
The beauty in red and the twenty or thirty women wanted to stay, but they were used to living a life of slaving away at men's pleasure.
I don't want to work anymore.
She bit her lip and made up her mind, "I don't want to stay here. I'd rather go to a brothel than stay here. I don't believe I won't meet a rich man in the town below.
"Pah, these blind, unlucky bears." She spat bitterly, "If you want to leave with me, let's leave here together."
Some of the girls hesitated.
Finally, they stood up and said, "We will stay here. If we are allowed to get married, we will get married. If we are allowed to work, we will work. We are originally from the village.
Now I just do some farm work. Madam said that as long as we stay and work hard, we can support ourselves."
"Then we'll stay too. I don't want to have to play along with someone I don't like anymore." Two more people stood up.
The woman in red had a frosty face.
She originally wanted to go down the mountain with more people.
If she couldn't find a good man, she would go to a brothel and bargain with the madam, hoping to get better treatment with more people.
I didn't expect that these stupid people didn't want to go down the mountain with her.
"What's the point of staying here? Just being a complete peasant?" The woman in red's eyes were bloodshot. "If they hadn't killed Black Yama, would we have to worry about our future livelihood?"
"You think she's talking so nicely, but she still relies on men. Bah, she's just a shrew."
"I would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine." Xiao Yuehong snorted coldly, "No matter what, I will definitely stay." She wanted to ask the man who didn't dare to look at her, now that she was free?
He saved her when she wanted to commit suicide.
Tell her to live and that she will be free one day.
at last.
There were about ten people following the woman in red.
The others all stayed behind and followed Xiao Yuehong to find Su Qi.
Xiao Yuehong bowed to Su Qi from a distance and asked loudly:
"Madam, we all come from farming families and can do farm work. We are good at making clothes and embroidering. Please let us stay."
"Xiao Yuehong is willing to support herself with her own hands."
"Madam, please let us stay. We are willing to support ourselves with our own hands."
Su Qi took a few steps forward and helped Xiao Yuehong up. "You all get up."
"If he passes the review, he can stay. But I have a lot of rules here, so it won't be easy for him to leave."
"Just follow my instructions." There was light in Xiao Yuehong's eyes. She always felt that she would not regret staying.
Seeing everyone busy and full of energy.
She also felt alive again, no longer living like a zombie. Perhaps she could live her own life from now on.
