However, she only took a few steps back when she was seen by Zhou Yangfan.
The boy pointed with his fan, took a leap, and rushed in front of Xiushui.
"Hey, Sister Xiu, I'm here. My cousin asked me to bring you here to protect you. He said that you can't be bullied by others."
Looking at this man laughing like a fool, Xiushui was speechless.
The yamen runners nearby were so surprised that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It sounded like this person was actually the young master of the Eagle Trading Company?
Otherwise, how could he be so rich and noble? Just a pair of shoes is something people like them can't earn in their entire lives.
"Hey, why are there so many yamen runners here, holding swords and knives? What's going on with you?"
Fortunately, Zhou Yangfan, who was a bit of a fool, still knew how to observe the situation. Seeing so many villagers and yamen runners, he immediately calmed down and acted like he was doing serious business.
The head of the yamen runners quickly bent down and stepped forward.
"Sir, we received a report that some villagers here are in possession of weapons, and we are here today to take possession of them."
"Murder weapons? Who said they were murder weapons? These were given to them for free by our Eagle Trading Company. These are our Eagle Trading Company's weapons.
This young master came here just to collect these weapons. Also, all the people in this critical village are protected by our Eagle Trading Company.
You are not allowed to disturb me from now on unless you have something to do. Leave the weapons to us."
"this……"
The head yamen runner looked at the village heads in embarrassment.
Zhou Yangfan understood it at a glance. It turned out that it was those old men in plain clothes who were causing trouble.
He glared and pointed with his fan. "You were the ones who reported me, weren't you? Ha, you dared to accept weapons from my Eagle Trading Company? Don't you know my Eagle Trading Company?"
The yamen runner hurried over and called a few people aside.
"Everyone, you can't afford to mess with the people in this village, so let's just leave them alone. Otherwise, I'm afraid your village will be wiped out by them."
"Destroy... destroy the village? How is that possible? Our emperor may be a bit lustful, but he is not incompetent in government affairs."
The yamen runner glanced at him with disdain. "Of course our emperor is good.
But, do you have the guts to go against the world's number one business? They don't even need to kill you directly, they can just use money to make you move out of this area, don't you understand?
To put it bluntly, if the First Trading Company wanted to deal with your villages, it would be a piece of cake."
A few people who can become village chiefs know that it is easier to get things done by having someone above them, and it is better to lean on a big tree for shade.
Unfortunately, this big tree belongs to someone else, and the person on it is from another village.
The yamen runner was a smart guy and he knew that these people were loose.
"Actually, it's an opportunity for you to be so close to the people from this critical village. Look, they're on good terms with the people from the First Commercial Company.
If people give a little bit of money in the future, will you still not make money?
Don't always think about suppressing the other party, the real benefits are what you get."
A few people suddenly realized what was going on and expressed their gratitude to the head yamen runner.
When they turned around again, these people were chatting enthusiastically with the old village chief, and said that the villages should have friendly exchanges, and that everyone was close to the border, so they should be united and help each other in the future, so that they could jointly resist the enemies outside.
As for the weapons that were originally going to be given away?
The head of the yamen runners had already sent someone back to deliver the letter, and they stayed behind to wait for news.
When Chief Luo saw this, he thought, okay, it seems the weapons have to be left behind, and they can't be left waiting in vain, so he immediately invited this group of people into the village.
After ten days, three houses have been repaired.
The village heads of the five villages and the yamen runners didn't take it seriously at first.
But when they really entered the village and saw the newly renovated courtyard, they all opened their mouths wide.
"This, this, this is really a village? Not in the market town?"
Although the roads were still very messy, the general planning could be seen, with the well-maintained foundations and the courtyards with two floors and a basement...
Even in Ancheng, there are no buildings that are so neatly built and beautiful.
But now, these houses appear in a village.
Several village chiefs did not even bother to go into the yard to take a look, and just walked around the foundation that was still being built.
After walking around, the five people were all shocked.
"How is this possible? If a village had a dozen or so wealthy people building buildings, I would believe it.
After all, some people in the village do have money. But in this village, it is obvious that every family has to build it like this?
This, this, could it be that everyone is rich now?"
Don't say they are people fleeing famine.
Even in the whole country, there is probably no such village.
The people who were busy laying the foundation nearby laughed out loud when they saw how horrified they were.
"Do you think we are all rich? No, no, no, we are not rich. We are just more united. If we want to build a house, we should build the same one.
We've planned this area, it's all residential. See over there, near the mountain, that's where our school and activity center will be.
Over there, that's our livestock breeding center. With those breeding sites, our place is not smelly and mosquito-free."
"This village is well planned, but the question is how do you have so much money?"
"Haha, we earn money with our own hands and abilities. As for what kind of abilities we have, you'll naturally understand after you've been with us for a long time."
The villagers were very proud.
Well, of course they will have money. If they don’t have it now, they will have it in the future.
You know, they are the villagers who have been cared for by the Bodhisattva.
The Wen family said they would make money in the future, and they will definitely make money.
In terms of common interests, no one will pay too much attention to how rich the Wen family is.
In their view, as long as they follow the Wen family, they just need to obey everyone else.
However, when they saw the medicinal herbs spread out on the ground on their way back, the five village chiefs thought they had found the secret to the wealth of the village.
Drying herbs in the sun shows that they know medicine.
In other words, this group of people are a medicine village. If I follow them to grow and make medicinal herbs, can I also make my family live a good life?
