Chapter 130: Being Tricked



Since the two of them want to form a partnership, they can't spend all their time testing each other, otherwise how can they succeed?

Kang Yueran said: "I don't have a suitable candidate, Mr. He, I believe you are an upright person, and please believe that I am not narrow-minded."

He Yifan smiled awkwardly, "I am a mean person, it's my fault! Don't blame me, young lady, I will never have such petty thoughts again in the future."

He solemnly promised, "Leave the honeycomb briquettes to me, I'll take care of it."

Kang Yueran finally smiled sincerely. "I have another matter to trouble you with!"

She called Lu Ming and Lu Li in and said to He Yifan, "Please hand them over to the steward and help me teach them."

"Okay, I promise to train you well." Kang Yueran's foundation is too shallow, so he has to train some people.

"Thank you very much!"

"Don't be so polite. In my heart, I've always treated you as my own child. If you have any questions, just come to me."

Kang Yueran smiled shyly, "Then I will flatter you and call you uncle from now on."

He Yifan laughed, "Okay, okay, from now on I won't be polite and call you Miss Kang anymore, I'll just call you Yueran."

After this period of contact, they both recognized each other's character. They looked at each other and laughed again.

After leaving He's house, Kang Yueran returned to her own home. The doorman told her that Guo Tong had come to see her twice.

Kang Yueran knew that Guo Tong must have come to her about the sweet potato seedlings. She did not go home, but turned around and went to the county government office.

Guo Tong teased her with a smile, "It's really not easy to find you. Why are you so busy lately?"

Kang Yueran pretended to be helpless, "There's nothing I can do. Who made me so capable?"

"Oh, how shameless! I want to talk to you about two things. One is about the sweet potato seedlings. When are you planning to plant them?"

"I've asked Mao Qiang to plow the land in Kaoshan Village, and we'll start planting seedlings in the next few days."

Guo Tong was worried, "Which day is it these days? I'll send someone to learn from you."

"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow morning, send someone to find me directly in the fields of Kaoshan Village. What's the second thing?"

"The second thing is that everyone who chooses to stay and work for you has been registered. Qingping Village doesn't have many people, but there are 219 households. I plan to divide these people into two villages.

Some will stay in Kaoshan Village, and some will go to Shuangliu Village east of Kaoshan Village. The two villages are not far apart, so I'll let you build another house in Shuangxi Village, what do you think?

Kaoshan Village has built over a hundred houses, which is not enough to live in, but there are still houses on Qingping Mountain. "Are you asking me to empty Qingping Mountain?"

Guo Tong was a little embarrassed. "I discussed this with Lord He. We originally wanted to make Qingpingzhuang a village, but there are wolves on the west side of Qingping Mountain. You can command the wolves, but the people can't. What if someone gets hurt?"

If it becomes a village, the people will live there for generations to come. Just because the current wolves don't harm people doesn't mean their descendants won't. "Master Guo is right. We'll do as you say."

"Then I'll send someone to mark out a place for you."

“Don’t worry, Kaoshan Village is building a workshop, Xiangshan Village is building houses, and Baidu Mountain is building a kiln. I can’t spare any manpower to go to Shuangxi Village for the time being.

You should first transfer their household registration to Shuangxi Village, and I promise that they will be able to live there before the end of next year."

Guo Tong's eyes lit up, and he laughed a few times. "Shuangxi Village is called Shuangxi Village because there are two streams there. When there was a heavy rain last year, several nearby villages were hit by the disaster. Why don't you let those villagers build a house for you?"

Kang Yueran rubbed her forehead, wondering if she was doing too much now.

Seeing Kang Yueran hesitate, Guo Tong quickly praised her, "Master Kang is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and has the best heart. You must not want to see those villagers suffer, right?"

Kang Yueran raised her hand and said, "Stop talking! Master Guo, stop talking. I promise you!"

Guo Tong laughed a few times, then revealed an embarrassed expression, "And..."

"And? Lord Guo, please don't scare me!"

Guo Tong chuckled dryly. "Master Kang wouldn't be easily frightened. This is a good thing! The victims in Kaoshan Village have all been registered. There are 476 households."

Kang Yueran's eyes widened. "How can there be so many households? When Tu Da tricked people into going to Qingping Mountain, he was just one able-bodied man with two relatives, so the total number of people was small, but the number of households was large.

Most of the disaster victims in Kaoshan Village came with their entire families, some with three or even four generations. So the total number of people should be large, but the number of households should be small.”

"You're right, but when the yamen runners went to register, many families split up on the spot."

If the family splits up, there's a reason not to live together, and if you don't live together, you need another house. Since you've all settled down, you're definitely going to live there long-term, so you can just take possession of the house first and then slowly work towards it.

Kang Yueran was furious. "They wanted to split up, so you let them do it? There are nearly 500 households. How many houses do I have to build? Do you know that I lose money when I build houses?"

"Although we say that the family should not be divided while the parents are still alive, we cannot stop them if they decide to divide the family."

Guo Tong pushed the water cup in front of Kang Yueran and continued, "I've thought it through for you. I'll give you all the land between Baidu Mountain and Xiangshan Village. Then I'll divide it in half, making two villages: East Xiangshan Village and West Xiangshan Village. How do you think?"

"Those two names are so ugly!"

Guo Tong didn't care. "You've always been smart. Why don't you give me another name?"

Kang Yueran glared at Guo Tongyi and said, "I hate you so much!"

"It's no use hating me, everything has already been registered."

Everything has been registered. If she doesn't agree, not only Guo Tong will be unhappy, but the victims in Kaoshan Village will also be unhappy.
