Hearing that Kang Yueran was going to give him a task, Hao Zhuteng stood up suddenly, at a loss for words with excitement. "I, I can, Master. I think I can do it well." He bent down and bowed. "Thank you, Master."
"Work hard, ask questions and learn more about things you don't understand. I'll have big business to do after the disaster is over."
This is training him! Hao Zhu was so moved that he almost cried. "Boss, I will do my best."
"Then go back to Kaoshan Village and think about which women to choose. I'll talk to Manager Xu later and ask him to send the cotton and coarse cloth to you."
Hu Dacheng and Hao Zhu went out together, and Kang Yueran closed the door and went into the space to purchase goods.
She had always been thinking about Kaoshan Village. That morning, she walked around Yiziyuan. Everywhere was harmonious and busy, and she couldn't help out, so she said hello to Hu Dacheng and went to Kaoshan Village.
Kaoshan Village did not use the name of Qingping Mountain, so it was easy to recruit disaster victims. After working for a few days, the victims felt that the work was good and told other disaster victims. Then the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
As we went along, we found that there were very few disaster victims on the road, and they were all concentrated near Kaoshan Village.
There were people patrolling Kaoshan Village. They didn't recognize Kang Yueran and refused to let her in. "Miss, no one is allowed in here." Seeing that Kang Yueran didn't look like a disaster victim, they added, "You can't enter if you're not a disaster victim."
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "I'm here to see Manager Mao Jianmao."
Mao Jian is the most senior manager here. Wang Erqiang scratched his head. "You're looking for Manager Mao? Who can prove that you know Manager Mao?"
"Then just find a manager. They should all recognize me."
The people in Wang Erqiang's group called Zhu Xiaowu, the patrol officer. Zhu Xiaowu saw Kang Yueran from a distance and ran over quickly. "Boss, how come you have time to come here? I'll take you to see Officer Mao."
"good!"
It was a while after the two of them left that Wang Erqiang and the others finally came to their senses. He asked the people beside him, "Manager Zhu called that girl the big boss. Is this the same big boss as the big boss?"
The person next to him replied, "You can't just call her 'big boss' casually. It must be that big boss. Oh my God, I saw the big boss, and she's a girl!"
He cheered and laughed loudly, "I saw the boss! I saw the boss!"
Someone nearby asked him, "Where is it? Where is it? Where is the boss?"
He laughed and started talking to everyone.
Mao Jian walked with Kang Yueran while introducing her. "It will be finished in about a month. It's hot now, so the house can be lived in after airing for half a month. But with so many people, they have to eat so much every day. It makes me sad."
Ten cents could not buy two white flour buns even in the town, let alone in the provincial capital. But Kang Yueran gave him three and some pickles.
Kang Yueran was very satisfied with the progress. "Let them eat! They need to eat so they can survive, and only if they are alive can they work for us. Once the house is built, we will have people build the dock."
She let Mount Paektu be exposed to the sun for a month longer, and then she sent people up the mountain to sprinkle lime powder.
Mao Jian reminded him, "To build a wharf, you have to go to the county yamen to report and purchase land. It's not easy for the yamen to approve it."
"I know, but the county yamen is short of money right now. If we give them enough silver, buying land and building a dock won't be a problem."
"I feel relieved that the boss knows what's going on. I once learned how to build a dock from a master, and I'll draw the blueprints later."
Kang Yueran was overjoyed, "That's great, I was just worrying about this."
As the two were talking, Yuan Renyong, the head of Kaoshan Village, trotted past.
Mao Jian introduced the two men, and Yuan Renyong said, "Hello, Master!"
"You're welcome, Yuanlizheng. I'm building a house here. If I'm causing any trouble, please forgive me. If the disaster victims are causing any trouble to the village, you must tell Manager Mao."
When Mao Jian arrived with the land deed, Yuan Renyong was indeed unhappy. But things were different now. The men in the village came to work, and the women helped with the cooking, and they all took home monthly wages or food rations.
The victims were also sternly warned not to harass the villagers.
"No, no, Manager Mao is very thorough. With your arrival, our life in Kaoshan Village will be even better."
Yuan Renyong never came to visit someone unless he had something important to do. Mao Jian asked, "What does Yuan Lizheng want to see me about?"
"Ah! Manager Mao, actually, this matter, alas! It's, it's about those damn Qingpingshan bandits who went to Qingshui Village a few days ago. Fortunately, there are many strong men in Qingshui Village, so we were able to drive the bandits away.
Our village in the mountains has always been small and poor. But after you came, you gathered so many disaster victims, built houses for them, provided them with food and monthly wages. I was afraid that the bandits would target us."
