After everything at the military camp was arranged, Wen Xi rode as fast as he could to the edge of his farm.
It was said to be two thousand acres of land, but in fact, the two medium-sized hills next to it were also given to him.
A large yard not far from the fields was also allocated to him.
I heard that these places once belonged to a wealthy man. How the emperor acquired them is unknown, but I like them very much.
The crops had just been harvested this season, so the fields were bare.
Min Jun was very efficient, and within two days he had sent over forty or fifty people. A small number of them had families, but the rest were single.
Although Wen Xi didn't know many of them, those who had been on the same battlefield had a natural aura and were very harmonious.
Wen Xi didn't waste any words and said directly:
"Brothers, since you've decided to work with me today, I will never treat you unfairly. I can't promise you wealth and fame, but at least I can ensure you have enough to eat every day."
"Thanks, Captain. We'll follow you."
Everyone responded loudly.
Wen Xi waved her hand:
"Don't call me battalion commander anymore. I'm just like you, we're all useless now. Please give me some face and call me boss from now on. When we're done, we'll all get you wives."
"oh oh……"
Everyone exclaimed in delight. Actually, given her disability, she didn't think anyone would be willing to be with her. It was just that Wen Xi's promise was so rosy that everyone couldn't help but feel happy.
"Okay, enough nonsense. Let's get to the point. As always, in the camp, whoever has the strongest fist is the boss. It's the same here, but we won't compete with fists. We'll compete with brains. First, I need three managers: one who's good at farming, one who's good at business, and one who's good at housekeeping. You can choose to participate, and then I'll give you the test questions."
There was a flurry of discussion from the audience, and soon about twenty people stood up, all wanting to compete for the position of manager.
Wen Xi went over to check and found that there were more than ten people who chose to farm, five who were doing business, and only two who were housekeepers.
Wen Xi took out some prepared questions and selected the one with the most comprehensive answers. He should have had some practice, but he didn't have the time. He could only slowly discover talent later.
The business community had chosen two equally qualified representatives: Da Qi, estimated to be in his thirties and blind in one eye, and Man Jin, a half-grown boy with a keen eye. Wen Xi didn't specifically choose one of them. Instead, she went straight to the team selecting the housekeeper.
One was in his late 40s or early 50s, with limited mobility, but Wen Xi felt his eyes were filled with wisdom. Later, she learned that this person also had a story to tell.
The other one is in his thirties. I heard that he was a student in the past. He has a refined temperament, but he gives people a soft feeling.
Wen Xi gathered the five people together and said to the somewhat older farmhand:
"Uncle Wu, please take care of the crops from now on. I know you're old, so if you see any promising talents, please cultivate them. I can help you in the future. As for the business, both of you should stay. There will be room for you to show your talents in the future. As for the housekeeper, Uncle Ge, I'll be troubling you from now on."
Wen Xi looked at the last person who looked lost and said:
"Mr. Hu, don't be discouraged. People can only do well if they work according to their own talents. Compared to the housekeeper, I think you are more suitable for the accountant and the teacher. What do you think?"
Mr. Hu said in disbelief:
"gentlemen?"
I was even more confused. Is it that teacher?
Wen Xi smiled and said:
"You can help me with the accounting first. When you are able to do it, I will build a school for the children in our military camp. So that they can learn to read and write."
Mr. Hu nodded excitedly.
Returning to the crowd, Wen Xi arranged again:
"Uncle Ge, select thirty people who can build houses, and tomorrow we'll build some more houses next to this courtyard. Those with families will have their own small courtyards, and those without families will live together, just like in a military camp. Oh, and every room will have a kang. I'll give the money to Mr. Hu later, you can just go and ask him for it."
Uncle Ge is an extremely taciturn person. Even though the people below him have been brainwashed and their emotions are surging, he still calmly replied with a simple "yes".
Wen Xi felt a little frustrated, so she could only throw sugar-coated bullets at everyone awkwardly:
"Don't worry, everyone. If any of you get married in the future, I will pay for you to build a separate courtyard."
This immediately aroused cheers from the crowd.
Wen Xi looked at Uncle Wu with satisfaction:
"Uncle Wu, take the rest of the people and follow me into the mountains tomorrow. I want to dig something up."
