Xu Kuang quickly stood up and said to the follower beside him:

"You bring eight people, plus... Chen Xiaobao. Chen Xiaobao, you bring some people and follow him to pick up the villagers. By the way, get a carriage and don't let the elderly suffer."

Chen Xiaobao cried loudly when he heard this, but Chen Xiaohu was thinking.

Chen Xiaolong was a little at a loss, but when he saw Xu Kuang calling him to sit down, he didn't dare to neglect and sat down.

"I think you are quite responsible. I am going to let you manage this mine. The food you send every month can be twice as high as other people."

Chen Xiaolong was excited and was about to stand up again, but saw Xu Kuang looking at Chen Xiaohu.

"Sir, this is my younger brother Xiaohu. He has been smart since he was a child."

"I can see it. Come with me and go back to the territory. I am going to form a land protection team. Before I could figure out the name, I will be the deputy captain when you come. Let Xiaobao join you and be the captain."

Chen Xiaohu was neither arrogant nor impatient, and bowed to Xu Kuang.

"As for the fellow villagers you brought, if you want to mining, leave them to mining, and if you don't want to mining, go farming. There is always a job you can do."

Others were relieved to hear this.

They are not worried about being bullied, they are worried that they will not be able to pay off their debts and earn food without their own work.

Xu Kuang helped them solve these problems, and they dared to sell their lives to Xu Kuang.

Half a day later, Chen Xiaolong and his family finally arrived. Xu Kuang looked at the hundreds of people in front of him and was stunned.

Xu Kuang looked at the woman with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist in front of him, and his Adam's apple moved with difficulty and asked:

"Xiaolong, this person is..."

"You are the Lord Lord, I am the mother of Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaobao. My three children are ignorant, which makes you worry."

"No, no, no, old lady, don't say that, all three of them are good. I'm going to reuse them, of course, and you, I heard you can smelify iron?"

The woman smiled and said:

"There is no way. Iron ore cannot be sold at a price. Just think about it. What you refined is not a good iron..."

Xu Kuang glanced at the blister on the old woman's arm, and his nose felt sore. How could he not imagine what was going on? A woman whose husband died early could only make herself stronger and pull her three children together.

"Have you asked the wife's name yet?"

"What's the name? My name is Huang Xiumei. If you don't dislike me, just call me Lao Huang."

"Okay, I will call you Mr. Huang in the future."

Xu Kuang gave Huang Xiumei a "high salary" of 240 kilograms of grain per month, which made everyone who could only receive 40 kilograms of grain per month envious.

Huang Xiumei was so excited that she wanted to take her three sons and two daughters to kowtow for Xu Kuang. Xu Kuang wanted to reach out and pull her. Huang Xiumei made a move and Xu Kuang flew out directly.

Chen Xiaolong said to Huang Xiumei with a little reproach:

"Mom, you are not light or heavy again."

Huang Xiumei scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly:

"Lord, I...I didn't mean it."

Xu Kuang got up from the ground and squeezed out a smile with a pale face:

"It's okay, don't rush to start construction. Everyone comes with me to build a booklet first. After registering your information, we plan a place and then we start construction."

...

Ryan looked at the more than a hundred people brought back by Xu Kuang, sighed, and asked:

"Young Master, we need more food again."

Xu Kuang smiled and asked:

"Is there any news about Uncle Wayne?"

Ryan sighed without answering Xu Kuang.

...

Hulu Town

Baron Chris looked at the well-crafted gilded self-tone bell in front of him, and winded it up again, watching the bird fly out.

Baron Wayne said with some distress:

"Okay, you've seen it twelve times, it's time to let it go."

Baron Chris was reluctant to put the clock back on the table, and he asked:

"Wayne, just tell me where you bought it, I want to buy one too."

Wayne looked at Baron Chris' anxious look and reached out to pick up the teacup from the table, experiencing the fragrance of the tea:

"You want to buy it too? How much can you pay?"

Baron Chris's heart skipped a beat, he stretched out a finger and asked tentatively:

"One hundred gold coins?".

Wayne didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to drink his tea.

"That two hundred?".

"three hundred?".

Baron Chris's heart was shaking, his voice trembling:

"Six hundred! I won't want it if I'm taller."

Wayne raised his head and thought to himself: "The old guy is quite rich, he is even at a higher psychological price than me."

But that's what he said to Baron Chris:

"You...ah...I'll discuss with my nephew and let him make one for you."

Chris was surprised when he heard this, and he asked:

"Your nephew is..."

"Alchemy priest, brave."

"Oh oh, I've been longing for a long time. By the way, can you let your nephew make this clock more artistic?"

"artistry?".

"It's just a little more humanistic beauty..."

"Humanistic beauty?".

"It's like the three goddesses Venus and Mie...."

Wayne's old face turned red. He subconsciously wanted to scold Chris, but when he spoke, he turned into:

"That's more money. How much effort does it take to make a bird? How much effort does it take to make a bird like that? What do you think?"

When Chris heard that there was a chance, he quickly said:

"It should be, you should say how much you can add."

"The labor hours cost at least one hundred gold coins."

"Okay, okay."

Wayne:...

After Wayne sent Baron Chris away, he called the butler and said:

"Quick Horse sent this letter to Mushroom Ridge and these gold coins."

The old butler nodded and turned around and left.

...

"Look at the old butler!" Xu Kuang said to Ryan: "Grandpa Ryan, you should accompany the old butler first and arrange a residence for him. I will work in a hurry tonight and make it tomorrow."

When the old butler heard Xu Kuang's words, he was shocked and asked:

"Young Master, can you do it tomorrow?"

Xu Kuang nodded and said to the old butler:

"If you do something like Uncle Wayne, you can do it today, but it will take some time to make a look like that."

Upon hearing this, the old housekeeper bowed to Xu Kuang:

"Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble, Grandpa Ryan helps me take good care of the old housekeeper."

Xu Kuang not only saw Wayne's face, but also the face of the 400 gold coins sent by Wayne.

The next morning, Xu Kuang handed the clock to the old housekeeper and put it in the wind. After a while, a unique "cuckoo-like" danced out.

"Old butler, I'll leave this clock to you."

The old butler nodded heavily and left with the guards.

Xu Kuang said to Ryan:

"Notify Huang Lao and the others that I will worship the heavens tomorrow for the holidays and start building a steel furnace the day after tomorrow."
