Chapter 337 Ambition Revealed
Xu Pinggui looked at Lin Mo curiously:
"Young Madam, why do we want to buy that hilltop and the wasteland in front of it?"
That mountain is too steep and is not suitable for living at all.
Besides, according to their original plan, they should leave here soon.
So there is no need to spend this money to buy the land and hills here.
Lin Mo shook his head and gestured for him to look up the mountain:
"This mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we build our stronghold here, it will be beneficial to us and not harmful."
"Then aren't we going to Mocheng?" Xu Pinggui was a little surprised:
"Didn't you say you wanted to take over Mo City?"
"Why do we have to go to Mocheng?" Lin Mo asked back:
“How is Mocheng better than here?
Since we want to build our own power, we naturally need our own territory. I think this place is very suitable. Moreover, there are not so many people watching us here, which is suitable for us to develop secretly.
Once this place becomes a bustling market, and we are the owners here, can you imagine how much benefit it will bring to us?
Also, even if we set up a base here, it won’t prevent us from taking over the entire Mo City.”
Lin Mo did not hide the ambition in his eyes at all.
This is a lawless area, most suitable for establishing their own power.
Moreover, if they wanted to have enough food to eat and support so many people, it would be impossible to do so by farming alone.
This naturally requires business.
Since you want to do business, why should you give advantage to those old forces in Mo City?
Why can't it be moved here?
Once the business here gets going, it will only become more and more prosperous, and people will remember the Xu family's contributions.
But if you were in Mocheng, who would remember you?
She would never do anything to help others.
Lin Mo looked at the mountains ahead, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"In the future, this will be the most prosperous place in the area and a place that everyone yearns for.
And here, we are the most powerful, no one dares to mess with us!"
Xu Pinggui was shocked by Lin Mo's idea, but then his heart was filled with emotion.
The promises made by the young lady are so tempting.
Xu Pinggui suppressed his excitement:
"Young Madam, if you need anything from me, just tell me."
Lin Mo smiled and didn't say anything. She continued walking forward while observing her surroundings.
The more I look at it, the more satisfied I am.
A pleasant surprise.
She didn't expect that there was a river that separated this side from the mountain, forming two different worlds.
And judging from the way the river is rushing, it seems that the river is very deep.
This is a natural barrier.
Although you can't grow anything on this piece of land, you can build a house here.
Lin Mo already had a preliminary idea at this time.
She called Xu Qing and immediately asked him to go to Mocheng to find Qi Zhengfei and bring him here.
If this place is to develop, people are indispensable.
The addition of Qi Zhengfei and others just fills this gap.
In addition, Qi Zhengfei also knew many retired soldiers.
And she needs these people here.
Although these people have physical defects, they have actually been to the battlefield and have a murderous aura.
Once there are more people of this kind and they become a powerful force, no one will dare to attack them easily.
She could give them money to support their family.
And she needs them to build momentum for her side.
I can talk to Ren Zhengfei about this when he comes.
After Xu Qing left, they did not cross the river, but chose to find a flat area by the river to set up their tents.
Just as everyone started to set up the tent, Lin Mo stood aside, looking around carefully.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers.
This place is great.
Moreover, the distance from the foot of the mountain to the river is about a hundred feet.
Lin Mo already had an idea at this time.
The opposite side of the river, at the foot of the mountain, can be used as their base.
On the other side of the river, you can build a town according to your own wishes.
However, these matters have to wait until Xu Wuyan returns, and the two of them can discuss it before making a final decision.
Anyway, she felt that it was better to make wedding dresses for themselves than for others.
With the Qi family and the He family's cavalry, she is not afraid that the business here will not be able to flourish, but it will take time.
Just as Lin Mo was thinking about these things, Doctor Mu and his family came over.
By this time, the sky had darkened and the river had become more turbulent.
Doctor Mu looked at Lin Mo hesitantly, "Madam Xu, can I discuss something with you?"
Lin Mo came back to his senses and nodded, "Doctor Mu, please speak."
Speaking of which, Doctor Mu was also implicated by her.
Moreover, Doctor Mu has helped them a lot along the way, so they will naturally help him if they can.
Doctor Mu felt a little uncomfortable. He rubbed his hands nervously.
"The village may not be suitable for us to live in, so I want to ask if I can build a house near your home to live in?"
At this point, Doctor Mu quickly explained:
“I can pay for it, and I will never take advantage of you.
The people in this village seem difficult to get along with.
My Mu family is small, mostly women and children. I'm afraid of getting into trouble, so I want to be closer to you and use your power for protection."
At this point, Doctor Mu's face flushed red:
"In return, I can treat your people for free in the future."
This is all he can offer.
Lin Mo shook his head, "Doctor Mu, you're too polite.
To be honest, I would love for you to live here.
As for the exchange you mentioned later, it is not necessary."
After all, a doctor with superb medical skills is also a signboard.
Lin Mo pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, you wait for me for two more days, and then I will allocate a piece of land for you to build a house to live in.
But you have to think carefully. When the land is given to you, the style of the house you build may have to follow my requirements."
As she spoke, she briefly told Doctor Mu her thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Doctor Mu's eyes widened after hearing this. He stammered and looked at Lin Mo:
"You want to build a town here?"
Doctor Mu looked incredulous.
He thought Lin Mo just wanted to build a big manor here. After all, she was rich and could definitely build the manor.
But he never expected that Lin Mo's ambition was so big.
But if a town were really built here...
And I happen to have a house here, so the value of it is really inestimable.
Lin Mo nodded, "I have this idea, so you can open a medicine shop here to make a living."
"Okay!" Doctor Mu's eyes were excited.
This is naturally the best thing for him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to make a living in this place.
After all, he had spent the first half of his life studying medicine, farming, and going up the mountain to find food, which really stumped him.
"As long as you have no objection, but you and your family will probably have to sleep outdoors for a while." Lin Mo said.
Building a house is not something that can be done in a day or two. It seems that we need to build some straw huts nearby to live in first.
But there is no rush. We can plan these things after Qi Zhengfei and the others arrive.
The night passed quickly.
On the second day, Xu Qing and Qi Zhengfei arrived with a large group of people.
With so many more people, the riverside suddenly became lively.
Lin Mo greeted Jia Jie in advance, so no one from Beijia Village came to cause trouble at this time.
Instead, Lin Mo asked Xu Dapeng to invite all the men, women, young and old in the group.
When the villagers heard that Lin Mo wanted to ask them to do some work, and that men would be paid fifty cents a day, women would be paid thirty-five cents, and even children over the age of thirteen who were able to work would be paid twenty cents, they immediately became excited.
"Are you really paying that much? Fifty cents! My god, I went to Mocheng and worked for someone for a day, and they only paid me thirty cents! I'll do this job!"
"I want to work too! My wife can endure hardship, can she also come to work?"
"Yes, yes, I have two half-grown boys at home. They are thirteen years old and can work!"
Looking at the excited villagers of Beijia Village, Lin Mo smiled:
"As long as you pass the screening and there are no problems, I will take them all.
Furthermore, the wages are paid daily, and I will definitely not owe you a penny."
Asking them for help was a decision Lin Mo made after careful consideration.
Asking people from the village to help with the work will help improve the Xu family's reputation here, and will also make these people loyal to the Xu family.
After all, they will have to deal with people in this village in the future.
If there is something good for you, give it to them first, then they will be grateful.
People should show kindness at appropriate times.
The villagers of Beijia Village immediately cheered:
"Great, we have a place to make money!"
“We don’t have to go hungry anymore.”
…
Lin Mo looked at them with a smile. The workload on his side was huge. If he wanted to finish it as soon as possible, he would need more people to help. He spoke directly:
"If you have any male relatives or friends who would like to work, you can sign up. All qualified individuals will be accepted. Also, craftsmen and carpenters are even more welcome. I will definitely pay more generously than others."
Of course, as for children, we only want children from our own village who can help with the work; we don’t want children from other villages.”
This is Lin Mo's care for this village.
She didn't expect the children to do much work, she just wanted to give them a chance so that they could eat their fill with their own hands.
She's not short of money anyway.
As for these children, they can observe them secretly and select some good ones to train so that they can do things for them in the future.
When they heard that they could also recruit people from other villages, everyone started shouting again:
"My cousins have plenty of energy and can work."
"My uncle is still young and can do bricklaying work. He can also work."
"Go, go, go and inform them!"
