There is no doubt that there is someone behind the Anzhou prefect's reckless behavior.
He Yifan sneered, "The daughter of the Anzhou governor is the Crown Prince's concubine."
"So, is he amassing wealth for himself or for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
He Yifan shook his head. "I don't know about that. However, if His Royal Highness wants to gain a good reputation in the court and among the people of the capital, His Royal Highness's expenses are more than just a matter of money."
The prince is richer than ordinary people, but his expenses are also unimaginable to ordinary people. It seems that part of the wealth amassed by the Anzhou prefect must have gone into the prince's pocket.
Kang Yueran understood, "Oh, I have one more thing to do. After the people from the village have cleaned up the corpses in Baitou Mountain, I plan to take them to do business, so I need a few craftsmen.
First, someone who can make bricks and build houses; two good cooks; and two or three literate men. I'd like to ask if there's any dental clinic that can find one."
He Yifan laughed and said, "Cleaning up the corpses on Mount Baitou? You still want to do business? You are trying to change the style of Qingping Village."
"It can be considered a change of heart. To be more precise, I want them to be good citizens again. They can have food to eat and make money doing legitimate business. Why do they have to be bandits?"
Li Hu wanted to steal her fruits of victory, but there was no way! Her business was hers, and she wouldn't even leave herself to Li Hu.
He Yifan laughed and nodded, "You're right! They are all ordinary people, they just want to eat. The people you mentioned are not difficult to find, they are all in my farm, I will give them all to you."
Kang Yueran knew that this was a trivial matter for He Yifan. "I knew I had found the right person. Thank you very much. I will send them back after they teach the people in the cottage a lesson."
He Yifan waved his hand, "You're welcome. I'm very familiar with Anzhou City. If you need anything, come and see me anytime."
After bidding farewell to He Yifan, Kang Yueran took Dacheng and Xiaocheng back to the village.
At the entrance of the village, the gatekeeper had been replaced by Kang Yueran's old acquaintance: Wang Liu.
Kang Yueran asked, "I heard from my senior brother that there used to be a guy here called Dog Brother. Where is he?"
Wang Liuyi said righteously, "Zhao Sangou and his lackeys were killed long ago."
If Kang Yueran hadn't seen Wang Liu's fawning manner in the past, she would have been fooled by his current appearance.
This guy is so good at acting! "Your name is Wang Liu?"
Wang Liu was startled, but remained calm. "Does the boss know me?" He had tricked Zu Cong into coming up the mountain. Could he be looking for a reckoning?
"My senior brother mentioned you. He said you are very smart."
Wang Liu couldn't figure out what he meant. "No, no, Zu Zhuangshi is the real hero, the great hero. I'm nothing."
"You're not bad either!" She pointed at someone and said, "I've brought two donkey carts. You lead the way."
There are two ways up the mountain. One is for pedestrians, which is right next to the house but has many steps. The other is for horse racing, which is a bit roundabout.
Kang Yueran left with a smile. Wang Liu patted his heart which was beating fast. He thought that if he let him go this time, he would not take revenge on him later.
The donkey cart stopped at the gate of No. 1 Courtyard A, and Kang Yueran went in to take a look.
In the entire village, the largest courtyard is where the boss lives, and the second largest is this building. There are a total of seventeen rooms, including a separate kitchen and three reinforced warehouses.
Kang Yueran was very satisfied and pointed to the largest room in the middle. "I'm going to sleep in this one, and the one next to it will be my study. You two can pick whatever you want from the rest."
Hu Dacheng pointed to the room next to Kang Yueran's bedroom and said, "I want to sleep in this room. I'll be closer to the girl and can protect her better."
Hu Xiaocheng was overtaken by his brother and snorted, "Then I'll sleep in the room at the door and I'll watch the door for the girl."
Kang Yueran had no objection and waved, "Move the things!"
Of the two donkey carts, one was prepared by Huang for the three of them. It contained bedding, spare clothes, study supplies and other items they often used.
The other one was a cart filled with things she bought from the mall, and she was going to teach the women in the village how to cook.
Just as I finished making the bed, Xu Jiushi arrived. "Master Kang, before you left yesterday, you told me to call everyone in the village who knows at least a thousand characters."
There are a total of thirty-six people in the village, and the illiteracy rate is too high!
Kang Yueran looked at everyone, pointing at them and ordering, "You three are old, go to Courtyard No. 3, Jiazi, and re-register the information of the people in the village; you four will be the accountants..."
After completing the arrangements, Xu Jiushi took his men and left again, taking Dacheng and Xiaocheng with him. They wanted to wander around the village and get familiar with the environment.
On the way to the village, Kang Yueran specifically explained to Xiaocheng and Dacheng what they could and could not say.
In the evening, the craftsmen that He Yifan had promised to help went up the mountain, a total of ten people.
Two of them knew how to make bricks, two knew how to build houses, three of the cooks were women, and there were three scholars in their forties.
Kang Yueran placed the seven men in Courtyard No. 3, and the three women lived in her yard.
Oh, her yard, Niu Dayan also moved in with his wife and son.
The next day, after getting up early and practicing boxing with Hu Dacheng for a while, Kang Yueran washed up and went down the mountain with four masters who were making bricks and building houses.
Most of the houses in the mountain village are single rooms arranged in rows. It’s okay for single young men to squeeze in, but it’s impossible for a young man to stay single forever.
Kang Yueran wanted to find a place to build a house for them.
Go east from the stronghold, cross the official road, pass the forest, and then walk east for half an hour to reach Kaoshan Village.
This place was recommended to Kang Yueran by Xu Jiushi.
The five of them arrived at the destination quickly in their donkey cart.
Li Fu and Li Shou, who were brick-makers, were brothers. Li Fu said, "Boss, this place is great. It's large and the soil is thick, perfect for making bricks."
Mao Jian and Mao Qiang, who were building the house, were also brothers. Mao Qiang said, "This place is also suitable for building a house."
Kaoshan Village is also backed by a mountain, which is short and small and has no name.
The five people were excitedly discussing where to build the kiln and where to build the house.
Suddenly, Kang Yueran felt someone was watching them. She turned her head and saw two villagers holding hoes.
