The government's projects will provide certain benefits to the local people. This has been an unspoken rule since ancient times.

At this life-and-death moment in the eyes of the villagers, Dongming Ziyu, an outsider, would certainly not intensify the conflict further. Under the eager gaze of the villagers of Nanbeixi Village, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, we can start work right away."

When the villagers of Nanbeixi Village heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them repeatedly.

Dongming Ziyu said: "You don't need to thank me, you have to thank the Second Young Master and His Highness King Chen."

The villagers all kowtowed to Rong Chuan, "Thank you so much, Second Young Master, and thank you so much, His Highness King Chen."

Rong Chuan nodded slightly and said: "You guys are not enough. My father has transferred refugees and hard labor prisoners. Those are the people who really work in the mines. The people who are doing hard labor can do auxiliary work and build roads.

Build a house, cook, transport, etc.”

Everyone was grateful, and those who refused to leave home and business at home were satisfied that their lives were not in danger.

Of course, Dongming Ziyu has no level of goods and cannot be in charge of the jade mine. He is just the leader of the local villagers.

King Chen sent additional officials and soldiers to manage the jade mine. The supervisor was Chu Xing, a sixth-rank official, half a rank higher than the county magistrate. There was also a guard commander named Qin Boxuan, a seventh-rank official.

In addition, there are officials working below, masters and stewards who know about mining and jade, and there are more than a dozen of them with grades alone.

It can be said that the initial leadership team has been decided, and the next step is to start the work.

When Jiang Hexuan saw that there was nothing going on in his place, his eyes flashed and he said: "I can spare a yard in my house for officials to live and work. All daily necessities are complete, and you can move in at any time."

Rong Chuan was noncommittal and said to Chu Xing, "Master Chu will make the decision on this matter."

Of course, Chu Xing would not offend the clan leader, Chief Garry, and said in a good-natured way: "Then I'll bother you, the chief. We are just staying temporarily. Living in the village is inconvenient after all. When the house in the mountains is repaired, we will move there."

Jiang Hexuan nodded, "But it's up to Mr. Chu to make the decision."

When Mrs. Qian saw that the matter was settled, she wiped her tears and said hurriedly: "Rongchuan, no, Second Young Master, go home and talk carefully. Everyone will eat here at noon."

Dong Chunlei also said: "Yes, yes, they went up the mountain to catch a lot of game for the New Year a few days ago, and they were all very plump. Let everyone try some wild game today."

Jiang Hexuan looked at the simple rice shed and said, "It's better to go to your home, the conditions are slightly better."

Rong Chuan said: "I will eat here, you can do whatever you want."

If he didn't go, of course others wouldn't dare to go, and they all expressed their desire to taste wild game.

Jiang Hexuan immediately ordered his servants: "Go back and ask the madam to bring the best rice, noodles, meat and eggs, and add vegetables to all of you."

When the other villagers heard this, they all said: "I have chickens at home, bring them to the second young master!"

"I have two fish at home, let the second master try them!"

“My bacon is the best!”

"The tofu I make is the freshest and tenderest. Let the second master try it!"

After saying that, he ran home. After a while, he came back with various ingredients, put them in front of Dongming Ziyu's shed, and left.

This time, the villagers really wanted to give these people the best food at home, so that the two mainstays of their family would not have to go to the battlefield to pay their lives!

You can work in front of your home, and you can go home every day. Although the work is very tiring, it’s nice to be able to catch up when you get home!

As for destroying the mountain and affecting Feng Shui, who still remembers it? Even if they remember it, they don’t dare to say it.

If the imperial court wants to mine, who dares to take care of it? The mountains belong to the imperial court!

Ling Yue also took out the best snacks at home and gave them to Rong Chuan, "Brother Rong Chuan, eat quickly!"

Rong Chuan looked at her cheerful little face and smiled, "Thank you."

Her eyes were swollen, obviously she had cried, but now they were full of smiles, and her face was filled with a cheerful and sweet smile, with little pear dimples looming, very lively and beautiful.

Ling Yue said in a cheerful and sweet voice: "Although my father and the others don't have to go to the battlefield, they can still do very important things for His Highness King Chen and the imperial court!

They will work hard and mine jade. The money sold by the court can be used to buy food, clothes, weapons, and medicinal materials for the soldiers. They can also give generous pensions to the fallen soldiers so that the widows and families of the heroes can live a good life.

!”

Her big eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, her voice was crisp and clear, and what she said was well-founded.

Rong Chuan couldn't help but have a new understanding of her, and smiled: "You are so right, Si Ya knows so much."

Ling Yue's face turned red and she said sweetly, "Everything I said is true."

In fact, she felt a little ashamed in her heart. She was happy because her father and elder brother did not have to go to the battlefield.

Wu Lang looked at Rong Chuan with his bright eyes and said with certainty: "Brother Rong Chuan, what sister said is true!"

Saburo, Shiro and many other children looked at Rongchuan with admiration, "Rongchuan, you are so good! You are so capable!"

"If you say a word, my father (eldest brother, uncle, uncle) will not have to go to the battlefield."

"I can also work and chisel rocks. I will definitely be able to repay you with more rocks!"

"I can do it too! I can do it too!"

"Wulang and I picked up a lot of beautiful stones together and gave them all to Rongchuan! We exchanged them for money to buy food for those soldiers!"

Rong Chuan picked up Wu Lang, let him sit on his knees, and said to everyone: "What Si Ya said just now is right, a war is not just a matter for the court, nor is it just a matter for the army.

The war requires the cooperation of the common people and the active cooperation of all walks of life. Supplies such as money, food, military uniforms, weapons, and medicinal materials must keep up, and all walks of life are involved."

The children listened in confusion, but they all nodded heavily, with expressions that seemed to say: Rong Chuan is right, and everything Rong Chuan says is right.

The smell of stewed meat and barbecue came over, and everyone swallowed their saliva.

Wu Lang licked his lips and said, "When I smell this, it's my mother cooking!"

Yes, of course Shangguan Ruoli is in charge of such a happy day today.

The women followed suit, and everyone was smiling as if they were surviving a disaster. They were happier than marrying a wife during the Chinese New Year.

I wish I could take out my heart, fry it, stew it, and feed it to Rong Chuan.

Their men, sons, and pillars of support no longer have to go to the battlefield.

They have gone through hardships to escape here. The house has not been repaired yet, so they cannot lose the mainstay of the family! It will cost them their lives!

Everyone had a big meal at noon, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.

In the afternoon, I went up the mountain to the mine site and started planning how to build roads and build houses.

In the evening, the lists of people serving in Nanbeixi Village this time were sent to Dongming Ziyu, and Dongming Ziyu began to group them into groups and arrange work.

Suddenly, he pricked up his ears and heard the sound of crying and scolding in the distance, which seemed to be coming from the other side of Nanbeixi Village.

"What's going on? There's no need to go to the battlefield, why are we still making trouble?"
