Next, the villagers went to the county government office and brought out two usable tables.
Lin Yiheng, Lin Yuanzhi, and Lin Tiezhuang served as the document recorders, registering the personnel of each team.
The village chief took out a roster and called out names from each household. He knew exactly whether each person was good at farming or doing something else.
The five hundred guards were properly allocated by the Yunye brothers.
"Anan, do we have to buy the houses that have been built?" a villager asked anxiously.
"No need. We'll give it away for free if there are conditions. We'll come up with a specific plan in a couple of days."
Lin Yinan already had a preliminary idea in mind, and she would need to discuss it with the Yun brothers again that evening.
The villagers cheered with joy and eagerly signed up.
Looking at the villagers who were eagerly signing up, Yun Kang was at a loss for what to do. He tugged at his brother's sleeve, "Brother, what should I do?"
Yunyu then came to her senses. Right, everyone has things to do. What about him and Yunkang?
"Second cousin, what are Yun Kang and I going to do?"
Yun Ming, who was standing to the side, looked at Yun Kang with a grin and said, "I'm going to Xihe County with Yun Qi and the others tomorrow to scout out the situation. Do you want to come with me?"
“Go! I’ll go!” Yun Kang hurriedly said, afraid that he would change his mind.
Yun Mo said, "Second cousin, you should come with us brothers."
"Wait, I have something I'd like my second cousin to help me with. I don't know if he'd be willing to do it," Lin Yinan quickly stopped him.
"What's up?"
Lin Yinan organized her thoughts and said, "We need to purchase a lot of building materials here. My second cousin is a native of the South and is very familiar with the area..."
"No problem, I'm familiar with this."
Yunyu's eyes lit up. He was an expert at purchasing, and he agreed before Lin Yinan could finish speaking.
Lin Yinan turned around and saw Wu Xingwang struggling to squeeze out of the crowd.
After this trip south, Wu Xingwang had lost a lot of weight.
He bowed to the Yun brothers and said, "I've come to ask you for a job. Do you have any suitable work for me?"
Lin Yinan smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, I was just looking for you, and here you are."
"What kind of job?" The Wu family brought quite a few people; they can't just sit around and do nothing.
"Here's the thing, we need to build houses, repair city walls, and develop Longtan County. We need to buy many things from other places. No one in the team can do business as easily as you, so I'm putting you in charge of this."
"Of course, no problem!" Wu Xingwang didn't expect things to go so smoothly and readily agreed.
Lin Yinan introduced him to Yun Yu, "This is Yun Yu, the second young master of the Yun family. He is familiar with the southern region and will assist you."
Wu Xingwang's eyes darted around, and he laughed heartily, "That would be perfect."
If they encounter difficulties in the future, they can still invoke the title of Prefect of Nanzhou Prefecture as a pretext.
"They will record the specifics of what needs to be purchased after they have assigned the personnel and made a list. Once everything is in order, you can take the money out."
After settling his assignment, Wu Xingwang hurriedly went back to discuss with his family. They had brought so many guards, so they could let them work for the Yun family first, and they would even provide two meals a day.
It's noisy here and won't end anytime soon, so Yun Mo is worried that Lin Yinan will get tired from standing.
"Anan, let's go back and rest first. Once we've registered, we'll have them send it over."
Lin Yinan nodded. Her belly was now big, and her legs would go numb if she stood or sat for a long time.
"Call your second brother along, let's go back and have a meeting at home."
Besides Yunming and Yunkang who were still watching the commotion, even Yunyu had returned.
The Yunye brothers didn't shy away from him, and Lin Yinan then shared his plans for Longtan County.
In the next two years, we need to solve the basic needs of everyone before we can consider the development of the entire county.
"We'll set up the communal canteen tomorrow, so anyone who works can eat there."
"A thousand people, is there enough food?" Yunmu was a little worried, after all, food is hard to buy anywhere these days.
Lin Yinan glanced at Yun Yu, who was deep in thought, and said, "I've done the math. We have enough food to feed all of us for two years. If things get even worse in the next two years, we can grow some more to supplement our income. This year is a transition period, so let's get everyone back on track."
"What do you need us to do?" the sister-in-law asked.
“The canteen needs to hire people to cook. I’m planning to hire a few skilled women from the village. Should we send someone from our family to supervise?” Lin Yinan asked Yunmu.
Holding her sleeping granddaughter, the sister-in-law's arms got tired, so she changed her position. Seeing this, Yunmu quickly stepped forward to take the granddaughter in her arms.
The eldest sister-in-law's three children are not very old, and the second brother's wife's children are even younger. Seeing that her mother was too busy every day, Yunyan said, "Anan, why don't I go instead?"
Because the meals were simple, the work wasn't too strenuous.
“One of our family members will go mainly to serve a supervisory role. I will find a few more women from the village and Wu Xu’s team later,” Lin Yinan patiently explained to them.
Luo Shouxin led his men out of the county government office. "This county government office is quite sturdy. The roof tiles are all good. I think the office space can still be used after some cleaning."
“Alright, I’ll have my guards prepare it tomorrow,” Yun Mo said.
He wasn't in the meeting earlier, so Lin Yinan mentioned the purchasing to him, "By the way, brother-in-law, I've assembled a purchasing team to go to the nearby county to buy some building materials. Are you going to go with Boss Wu and my second cousin, or stay in the city and work there?"
Luo Shouxin thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with them, since I'm quite familiar with the purchasing process."
The main reason is that he doesn't trust either of them.
Before it got dark, Lin Yinan took out paper and pen and began to write down some of the thoughts in her mind.
