Everyone fell silent. Most people didn't want outsiders to live in the manor, and Chunxiao was naturally unwilling. They were not familiar with the outsider, and if the person had bad character, it was possible that a single bad apple would spoil the whole barrel.
Seeing that no one spoke, the head of the pavilion began to ask one by one, and finally asked Chunxiao, "Master Yan, I heard from your subordinates that you have built several courtyards. Are they full now? Do you have some vacant rooms? They are all rented out.
Chunxiao sighed inwardly. She wouldn't dare to cheat the official. "Captain Chen, I do have some rooms there, but if they move in, they'll need rice and other supplies. I don't have any extra food. You know, there are so many people in my village, and I only have a little over 100 acres of wheat land."
Chen Tingzhang was delighted. "How many houses do you have? How many families can be accommodated? Don't worry, as long as you can provide a room for resettlement, you don't have to worry about the rest. The township government will make arrangements."
Chunxiao sighed again and thought, forget it, doing good deeds every day counts.
"There is still a small courtyard that is empty. There are 20 rooms, all of which are equipped with basic furniture. The kitchen in the courtyard is also fully furnished."
"Good." Chen Tingzhang clapped his hands. "Excellent, Master Yan, don't worry. I will definitely arrange for you to meet honest and decent people. It won't affect the normal work of your farm."
He looked at the people present again and said, "That's all for today. Thank you all in advance. I hope you can raise the funds for what I just said as soon as possible. Okay, I won't delay you any longer. You can go home."
After a while, Chen Tingzhang called Chunxiao back and said, "Miss Yan, you are a righteous woman. Don't worry, I will definitely not arrange for you to live with that scoundrel family. Many people are from wealthy families. They just hide out for a while and it is not convenient for them to buy property."
That's what's called the middle class. "You're too polite, Chief. I've received a lot of help from the township government in Luokou Town. It's my honor to be able to contribute. I'll go back and prepare now."
"Miss, what should we do with so many outsiders here?" Meiman was still a little worried while driving.
"It's winter now, and they probably can't stay for a few months. Let's just go and take it one step at a time." This is because the relationship between the township government and the village government is good, so they can discuss it. If the relationship becomes strained and they are directly charged, that would be bad.
"You will send the 1,000 kilograms of cotton and 100 taels of silver to the township government later. You have to contribute anyway, and being proactive will also make a good impression."
"Well, I'll arrange it when I get back."
