After the event was over, many villagers, after registering and pressing their fingerprints, went home to eat.
But Qiao Xin was still surrounded in the wheat field, unable to go home. She was surrounded by people from other places who wanted to discuss cooperation with the Qiao family.
One thing after another.
Li Zhong struck the gong in his hand again.
Everyone looked over at the sound of the gong, and Qiao Xin knew that this was to clear the way for her.
"Don't be anxious, we can sit down and discuss things slowly if we have anything to say."
"Madam, it's better to do it now than to wait for a better day. This place is very spacious and everyone will not mind."
This guy is really not polite. He has been waiting for Qiao Xin for more than a month. Every time he asks, she is really not at home. It is so hard to see her. How can he care about so many rules?
What if that person goes back and turns around and leaves again? Where would they go to find him?
The key point is that they are not hiding on purpose, or they are self-righteous and showing off. They are really busy!
Qiao Xin heard this and sat down again. No one had any objections, so what else could she say?
The peaches in the orchard were ripe, and they were processed quickly. A lot of watermelons were harvested from the fields. Although they were rare in Dajing, they were not long-lasting. If she couldn't turn them into money, the previous few months of work would be in vain, and she might not even be able to pay the workers.
Qiao Xin was just about to ask everyone to sit down and discuss the matter when she saw Lai Zi, who was guarding the dock, running over in a hurry.
"Madam, the Second Master is back, and Steward Huo, who is accompanying him, has brought two boatloads of people and is heading this way!"
Well, everyone present understood what was said, and they couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts. They were afraid that this matter wouldn’t be accomplished today!
Frankly speaking, they also hoped that Qiao Xin could be as quick and efficient in doing things today as the county magistrate had been in approving the land just now, but now it seems impossible!
Qiao Yunqing did not bring the people home because this group of people were really, how can I describe it, too dirty and too miserable!
He heard that Qiao Xin was working in the wheat field, and thought that the place was big enough to accommodate this group of people, so he brought them over.
The villagers of Laohu Town would definitely not be able to hide their large-scale recruitment of people. Instead of hiding it and letting everyone be suspicious and gossipy in the future, it is better to expose this matter under their noses from the beginning.
"Let's go to the wheat field!"
The corner foot that Manager Huo had just raised towards the Qiao family suddenly changed direction.
He is familiar with the wheat field!
Every time the Wang family delivered spring peaches, the settlement place was there!
Before Qiao Xin left the wheat field, Qiao Yunqing brought people over. Looking up, her son looked like Guo Jing in the Beggars' Sect, one of the few people who was well-dressed!
"My son has met my mother!"
"Master Qiao is back!" Li Zhong was so excited to see that he greeted him with the same expression as before!
Fan Jihuai greeted him with a smile: "Brother Zixian, how are you..."
After Qiao Yunqing finished greeting the acquaintances in the village, Qiao Xin asked, "Why are you back? Is everything okay in Beijing?"
Qiao Yunqing smiled and said, "I just happened to have something to do, and I met Manager Huo, so we just walked back together!"
"Manager Huo, your speed is quite good!"
"No, no, you are too kind, old lady. As soon as my master received the news, he immediately made arrangements without delaying for a moment. It just so happened that there was a group of people who met the requirements, and they were sent to you overnight!"
"Thank you for your hard work."
Qiao Xin looked at this group of people who were being tortured beyond recognition, her lips tightly pursed and her face grim.
Everyone present shuddered inexplicably, and everyone could see that she was in a bad mood at the moment.
Manager Huo was startled, thinking that the person he had brought here had displeased the Qiao family. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Qiao Xin say, "Lao Cao, ask Doctor Mo to bring someone over to take a look. Let's cook a few large pots of porridge in the kitchen first so that everyone can fill their stomachs first!"
"Ah, old lady, who are you giving it to?" Butler Cao didn't react for a moment.
Qiao Xin looked at him suddenly: "Who are you giving it to?"
Qiao Yunqing said, "Hurry up and prepare some food. It's for the newcomers."
"Okay!" Butler Cao wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and ran back.
It's really not his fault that he couldn't react in time. It was not the custom to give food and drink to slaves when they were sold!
Qiao Yunqing stepped forward and helped Qiao Xin walk to a chair nearby.
"Mother, please wait a moment. Uncle Mo will be here soon. Many of these people have been tortured and are extremely weak. Let Uncle Mo check them out first. I'm afraid he will be busy soon. We can't afford to wait any longer. Mother, please do your own thing first!"
Qiao Xin was in a very bad mood and had no mood to deal with any affairs anymore, so she simply handed everything over to Qiao Yunqing.
At this time, he waved his hand and said, "You're back just in time. We're just discussing how to buy our goods. Why don't you take charge? I see everyone has been waiting for a long time. It's really not good to delay their business. If you can help them solve the problem today, do it!"
"good!"
Qiao Xin then said to the shopkeepers, "Everyone, this is my second son. If you have anything to discuss, please move aside and let him discuss it with everyone."
Qiao Yunqing took away most of the people at once. Many people were still left on the wheat field to watch the fun. They were curious about why the Qiao family bought so many slaves, and they heard that they were from Southern Liang.
Liang Shengming disappeared in the crowd, and his smiling face was expressionless at this moment. He just stared at Qiao Xin.
Seeing Qiao Xin standing there in a daze, Nanny Qin gently reminded her, "Madam, Doctor Mo is here. What should we do with these people?"
Qiao Xin pointed at the huddled crowd on the wheat field and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Qiao Xin, your new master. I will now order someone to remove the shackles from you. I hope everyone will cooperate."
In front of outsiders, I might as well be frank with you all. As a member of my Qiao family, you can change the way you live. I will not ask you to be buried alive with me, and I will not take your life at any time.
It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. When the doctor examines you later, I hope everyone will actively cooperate and recover soon! Doctor Mo, let’s start!”
"Don't worry, old lady!"
During the whole process, Qiao Xin remained silent until Shunzi and Chef Fang brought over a bucket of steaming wild vegetable and egg soup and several large steamers of steamed buns.
Qiao Xin personally made a bowl of egg drop soup, took two steps, and supported a boy who was about to fall!
"Drink it, and regain some strength first!"
The young man looked weak and dirty, but his eyes were bright. He stared at the bowl in Qiao Xin's hand for a long time, and then lowered his head slightly. A plump girl beside him took it for him, and kept apologizing, fearing that Qiao Xin would blame him.
