Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 176;
This will not only relieve the pressure on the imperial court, but also bring a boost to their farm.

Even if the refugees rioted at that time, those recruited by them to work would definitely stand with them for themselves and their families.

"Miss is kind-hearted, I will do it here."

"Don't worry, there are still some things that need to be explained."

Lao Kang hurriedly asked.

"With so many people recruited at once, the first thing we need is a place to live."

"Have you seen this wasteland?"

Lu Yaoyao pointed to the piece of wasteland she was looking at just now, and continued; "This is not far from the barren hill behind, and there are a lot of wood there."

"What I mean is, you recruit people first, and then organize people to go into the mountains to log, and build dormitories on this open space to house them."

"As for the blueprint, you can use the dormitory blueprint I gave you earlier, and just follow that."

"Besides, recruiting people requires food, drink and wages. We can't treat them harshly just because they are refugees."

"Two meals a day must be well prepared, and now that the weather is hot, let someone make some of the herbal tea I studied earlier, so that the workers can drink it at any time."

"There is also a working time. The weather is hot now, so it can be earlier, so that the lunch time will be earlier, and then let everyone rest for an hour to avoid the hottest time at noon before going to work."

"The daily working hours cannot be controlled within five hours."

Lao Kang wrote down all the things she mentioned one by one.

"And about the family members of those workers, you are trying to find a way to resettle them as appropriate."

"There are too many people, and there are more people who need to cook. Let's see if they can also come out to work and give them a wage or something."

"Remember not to be stingy, what we want is people's hearts, and these people will most likely be the first batch of workers in our workshop in the future."

"Yes, I will definitely arrange it next time, and I will definitely not let the lady down."

They now have plenty of food in the farm, let alone support two or three thousand people, even if there are another two or three thousand people, it will not be a problem.

As for the wages and so on, that's not a big deal. Lu Yaoyao sent two to three hundred thousand taels of silver, and there was still a lot of silver left over to buy food.

With money and food, if this matter can't be done well, then he should stop messing around.

Soon Lao Kang withdrew.

"Qiuyu, Qiushuang, you should clean up too, we've been living here recently."

It was too hot in the city, and although it was hot in the village, it was somewhat better than in the city.

And it won't be long before there will be a lot of workers. It is not convenient for her to control remotely in the city. Anyway, there is nothing to do in the capital. It is good to stay here and take command.

The two went down to get busy, she sat for a while, remembered the mother and daughter who blocked the way just now, and also got up and left the yard.

After a while, he arrived at the place where Elder Lin lived.

As soon as she entered, the woman waiting under the eaves saw her.

Seeing the woman walking quickly, he knelt down for her with a puff.

"The lady, thank you for your kindness, Miss Noble."

"Sister, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Lu Yaoyao was taken aback and hurried forward to help her.

"How is the child?"

"I don't know yet, the doctor hasn't come out yet."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded and continued, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin is a famous doctor, and the child will be fine."

"Thank you for your auspicious words, Miss Noble."

After a while, the door opened, and Mr. Lin came out from the room.

Just about to speak, when he looked up and saw Lu Yaoyao, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Girl, are you back?"

"Well, come back to do something, Mr. Lin, how is the child?"

The woman next to him stared at Mr. Lin anxiously.

"It's not a big problem, the main thing is that I'm too weak and hungry."

As soon as these words came out, the woman had a look of shame on her face.

"Elder Sister, I don't blame you for this matter. No one would like natural or man-made disasters."

"Yes, this drought is very serious. My old man has never seen such a severe drought."

Elder Lin also had a look of emotion.

"Madam, don't worry, the child is fine. I've already seen it. I'll get some medicine for him later. After he wakes up and has eaten, he will take the medicine again. In two days, she will be alive and kicking."

Hearing this, the worried look on the woman's face dissipated, she was full of gratitude, and she knelt down for the two of them again.

"Thank you two nobles, for your great kindness and virtue, the little lady has nothing to repay, and I would like to be like a cow and a horse to repay you two."

"Why are you kneeling down again, elder sister, get up quickly, we don't like this."

Lu Yaoyao was a little helpless, why did the ancient people love to kneel so much?

"You don't have to worry about staying in the manor, and you don't have to think too much about eating and drinking. I will tell someone to prepare it for you later."

"Don't dare to bother Miss Noble, you have already helped my mother and daughter so much, how can we eat for free here."

"Tomorrow, when the child gets better tomorrow, the little lady will leave, but I dare not cause trouble for the noble lady."

During the catastrophic famine years, every bite of food was precious, and it was already a great kindness for someone to give a bite and help her child see a doctor. How could she stay and eat and drink for nothing?

"It's not too much trouble, I came out of the city today just to recruit some people to work for me."

"If the elder sister is willing, she can also stay and work for me. I will provide two meals for your mother and daughter every day, plus a salary of ten Wen a day?"

Hearing this, the woman was overjoyed, but quickly waved her hands again and said, "The little lady has rough hands and feet, and doesn't understand anything, I'm afraid she can't help the noble lady."

"You have a kind heart, the little lady must not make trouble for you."

"Eldest sister, don't refuse in a hurry. In the current situation, it will be even more difficult for you mother and daughter to go outside, so you should stay."

"I'm going to recruit a lot of people this time. When the time comes, I will need people for cooking and so on. Eldest sister should know these things, right?"

The woman nods.

"That's fine. Then you can help cook for other workers."

"Then thank you lady."

"It's fine if you can have a bite to eat, and you must not accept wages or anything."

"You have to be paid for your work. You don't have to postpone it, little lady. You can stay at this village with peace of mind. Miss Lu is a good girl. Help her well, and I will definitely not treat you badly."

Lin Lao said with a smile on the side.

"That's right, what if you don't get paid?"

The woman wanted to kneel down in gratitude again, but Lu Yaoyao hurriedly stopped her.

"Eldest sister, what's your name, what's your name?"

"Don't dare, the little lady's maiden name is Sun, and her husband's family name is Zhou."

"Then I'll call you Mrs. Zhou, is that okay?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded repeatedly.

"Then I don't know if Mrs. Zhou still has someone at home?"

Hearing this, Sister-in-Law Zhou's expression darkened, and sadness welled up in her eyes.

"My husband is an orphan, and there are only three members of my family. In today's famine year, I came all the way to the capital. My family died halfway because of our mother."

"Your condolences"

Lu Yaoyao felt a little apologetic.

Elder Lin beside him also shook his head.
