"Let's sign the agreement!"
"When you get back, tell them about it!"
"I reckon they'll all agree!" Chen Tiansheng said.
"Alright." The city lord nodded.
After signing the agreement, Chen Tiansheng ordered Aman to open the granary and load the grain onto the animal carts.
He chatted with the city lord while drinking water.
Once all the vehicles were full, the city lord left.
Not long after the convoy left, Shou Niang arrived at the base with a group of people.
After signing the agreement with Chen Tiansheng, she told him about what had happened in the city.
Chen Tiansheng said he already knew.
Because the city lord had just been here.
And they explained the solution!
Upon hearing this, Shou Niang nodded.
"That's fine too!"
"It not only solved the worker shortage problem."
"It can also disengage both sides and eliminate conflicts."
After the convoy was fully loaded, she returned.
Chen Tiansheng went to the main hall to meditate and cultivate.
The next morning, Ah Man came to report.
The area outside the base was filled with refugees.
There were several thousand people.
Moreover, refugees are arriving one after another.
"Don't worry about it for now!"
"Wait until they're all here!"
“I’m going out again!” Chen Tiansheng said.
“Yes…” Three days later, there were tens of thousands of refugees outside the base.
By the afternoon, the number had stopped increasing, indicating that everyone had arrived.
Upon receiving the report, Chen Tiansheng walked out of the main hall, his body swayed, and he disappeared.
"Greetings, Master Chen!" Outside the base, A-Jiao and the others who were maintaining order bowed to Chen Tiansheng.
Chen Tiansheng asked, "Have you counted them?"
"I counted them."
“There are 38,489 people!” Ajiao said.
"Hmm." Chen Tiansheng nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
"Since everyone is here!"
"You must be tired of living a life of dependence on others!"
"I'm tired of the scorn and criticism!"
"The anger of being tired of being bullied but unwilling to be humiliated!"
"bring it on!"
"Then join our family!"
"Food, drink, and lodging are provided!"
"I will never suffer the slightest injustice again!!"
"Thank you for taking us in, Master Chen!" Upon hearing this, everyone cheered and then knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Get up!" Chen Tiansheng waved his hand.
"Yes." Everyone stood up.
"Have you recruited enough people for Base One?" Chen Tiansheng asked Aman.
“That’s enough!” Aman said.
"However, the personnel we've recruited this time!"
“Not a single one of them knows how to knit!” she added.
"However, those with skillful hands were selected from two hundred!"
"It's already been handed over to A-Zhi and the others!"
"Let them teach us weaving techniques!"
"Mm." Chen Tiansheng nodded.
"Is there anyone who knows weaving techniques?" he asked, glancing at the crowd.
"I!"
"I!"
"Me!!" Someone immediately raised their hand.
Yes, it will.
"Everyone come out and stand on my side!" Chen Tiansheng said.
"Yes!" These people stepped forward and stood on Chen Tiansheng's side.
All of them were women.
They vary in size and come from different ethnic groups.
Chen Tiansheng counted; there were over a thousand people.
"How long have you been doing this?" he asked again.
"I worked for a year!"
"I did it for three years!"
"I've been doing this for ten years!"
“I’ve been doing this for thirty years!” they all said.
"Hmm." Chen Tiansheng nodded, then looked at the crowd again.
We still need several apprentices!
"However, there are certain requirements!"
"They need to be younger and have good dexterity," he added.
"I want to learn!"
"I want to learn!"
"I want to learn too!!" Several younger women raised their hands!
“Then come out!” Chen Tiansheng said.
"Yes." The women stepped forward and stood on the opposite side.
I counted, and there were more than two thousand people.
Chen Tiansheng said to the weavers, "You must take good care of them!"
"I hope to master this skill in the shortest possible time!"
"That's no problem."
"I just want to ask you, sir!"
"Do you have any silk?" asked a woman with green eyes and a pair of small horns on her head.
"No!"
“But I have a substitute!” Chen Tiansheng said.
“A substitute?” she asked, startled.
“Okay.” Chen Tiansheng said to Aman, “Take them to Azhi’s place and let them get to know the substitutes first.”
"Then observe their weaving process!"
"Let's get the hang of it before we start!"
"Yes." Aman nodded.
“Everyone, follow me!” she said.
"Yes." Everyone immediately followed her.
"Those who stay!"
"I will get everyone to farm!"
"Start forming groups now!"
"One group goes to the area across the river to build houses and reclaim wasteland!"
“I will take the other group to another area to do the same work!” Chen Tiansheng said to the remaining people.
"Could these two plots of land also belong to Master Chen?" someone asked.
"That's right."
"I earned all of this by exchanging grain and other goods!"
“They, like this land, are my permanent property!”
"Everyone, please feel free to settle in!" Chen Tiansheng said.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for giving us a chance to survive!"
"From this day forward, we are willing to be long-term laborers for life!"
"Let's repay this kindness!" Everyone felt at ease and said with gratitude.
