Yun Si knew what he was going to say, so he sat up straight, a lewd smile appearing on his refined face. "How about we double-cross them and take down their hideout?"
Anyway, they're very good at this, and it's the fastest way to make money.
Yun Qi pointed to the map and said, "Huaizhou City is the largest city in the Southern Barbarian Prefecture."
“Huaizhou City is controlled by the Zhong family, the largest family in Nanman Prefecture. The Zhong family is related to the Yu family in Nanzhou Prefecture by marriage. They follow the Yu family’s lead and oppose our Yun family at every turn. They are the Yu family’s lackeys.” Yun Yu knew the Zhong family best and would talk to them whenever her father encountered obstacles in his official duties.
If it weren't for the powerful alliance of these families, why would my father have been so hesitant and timid in his actions?
Seeing that the Yun brothers were considering the feasibility of this matter, Lin Yinan quickly spoke up to stop them, "No rush, let's keep this natural barrier in place so that it's inconvenient for them to come over. This way, we'll have enough time to develop."
In other words, we should let them develop stealthily first, and then confront them head-on when they are stronger.
Yunye nodded. "I think my sister-in-law's suggestion is excellent."
Therefore, everyone agreed to Lin Yinan's suggestion to lie low for the time being.
"Does anyone else have anything to say? If not, we'll call it a day." Yun Mo stood up and glanced at everyone.
Thinking of the warm and soft feeling he had experienced before dinner, he couldn't sit still any longer and just wanted to go back and hold Anan to sleep.
"Master, wait a moment, there's something else for me, I have something to say."
Yun Er rushed in from outside the door.
Yun Mo's face immediately fell. He had been talking all night and hadn't even noticed that Yun Er was missing.
He said unhappily, "Where have you been all night? I haven't seen you all night."
Yun Er didn't care about his expression at all and stepped in unhurriedly. "Last time you found traces of people living in the mountains, I led people to investigate further a few days ago, and there are indeed several families living in the mountains."
Yun Mo's expression hardened. "Who are you?"
"I observed them for two consecutive days, and they must be ordinary people who have hidden themselves deep in the mountains."
Upon hearing that they were just ordinary people, Yun Mo's expression softened. He glanced sideways at Yun Er, who was talking eloquently. Something was off about this guy. He was usually the most enthusiastic about meetings, but why did he take so long to arrive today?
"We need to keep a close eye on them and prevent them from coming to the county town for the time being."
Next, everyone discussed the important points to note for tomorrow's work.
Lin Yinan had said everything she needed to say, and feeling sleepy, she got up and went back to the backyard without saying goodbye to Yun Mo.
Yun Mo felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and thought to himself, "Why is he still talking?"
Yunye frowned as he looked at him. His third brother was still too young and a little impatient.
Nearly half an hour later, the group reluctantly dispersed.
Just as he was about to push the door open, Qianxia came out and bowed to him, "Young master, please keep your voice down, the young lady is asleep."
Yun Mo frowned slightly, and quietly pushed the door open. He held his breath and heard Lin Yinan breathing heavily, sound asleep.
I quietly lay down next to her, closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep myself.
At the entrance of the county government office.
After breakfast.
Lin Yinan decided to hold a mobilization meeting before construction began, and she invited the respected clan elder to speak on stage.
Looking at the more than two hundred villagers from Linjia Village below the stage, as well as the more than one hundred people led by Wu Xu, and several hundred secret guards, the clan chief cleared his throat.
"Yesterday, we planted rice in the fields we reclaimed. Today, construction will begin on the houses and city walls at the same time. With houses, we can officially settle down here, and the city walls will ensure our safety, so we don't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals or Japanese pirates."
"In another hundred days, we will not only be able to eat rice that we grow ourselves, but also live in houses that we build ourselves."
Ginger, indeed, the older the better.
As soon as the clan chief finished speaking, enthusiastic applause, led by Lin Yinan, resounded throughout Longtan County for a long time.
After a long silence, Lin Yinan said, "As the saying goes, no matter how poor we are, we can't be poor in education. We have set aside a separate area to build an academy. In the near future, every child here will have the opportunity to enter the classroom and study."
In the future, we will also carry out literacy campaigns and short-term skills training courses, striving to enable everyone to read and learn a skill.
The two experienced farmers sent by the Yun family of Nanzhou Prefecture went to the fields with the others after breakfast.
The curved plow was already assembled when it was brought back.
Lin Yinan and Qianwu walked along the street, which was now mostly devoid of weeds, carrying baskets on their shoulders.
"Sister, you have to go and see! Ding Gui, Chen San, and the clan chief are arguing. They came yesterday." Lin Yizhang rushed over, her forehead covered in beads of sweat.
Lin Yinan, supporting Qianwu's hand, walked towards the field while asking, "What happened?"
Lin Yizhang said in a muffled voice, "Ding Gui and Chen San said it's wrong for us to grow rice here."
After listening, Lin Yinan understood. At this time, rice planting had not yet begun, so it was normal that Ding Gui and Chen San had not seen it before.
As we walked into the field, we could hear Ding Gui saying from afar, "Our ancestors have lived in the south for generations, and we have never seen you farm like this."
“That’s right. If the seedlings that have grown well are replanted, but their roots are broken, how can they survive?” Chen San chimed in from the side.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt extremely uneasy.
"Yes! What if we don't survive?"
"Wouldn't all those rice seeds planted yesterday have been wasted?"
Someone slapped their thigh and cried out in anguish, "Why didn't we think of that before?"
"Anan is here!"
Someone with sharp eyes spotted Qianwu and Lin Yizhang helping Lin Yinan as they headed this way.
Wu Song, quick-witted as ever, immediately picked up a bundle of weeds from the field next to the field and ran to Lin Yinan, spreading them little by little on the slippery ridge they had trampled on to prevent her from losing her balance.
