When Xiao Yixun faced her former slave who was sent here, her expression was also indifferent. She was now used to having a personal maid follow her.
These slaves that she didn't take with her when she ran away from home are not her confidants and are dispensable to her.
"This is the one who cooked before, you can arrange the rest." Xiao Yixun clicked on a girl with six fingers and gave a brief introduction to Lin Wanwan.
"How about I allocate a yard to you or let them serve you?"
"No." Xiao Yixun immediately refused.
She now sleeps in the same house as Lin Wanwan, whether in Linjiazhuang or Lin Mansion in Xiaoxi Town. She doesn't care about slaves at all. It doesn't matter if there is no one to serve her, she will follow Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan thought for a while and then said: "Okay, let me arrange it. You will still work in the kitchen from now on. You can tell yourself what other people are capable of."
"Madam, I can embroider."
"Madam, I can hear sounds far away."
"Madam, I can harness and control the horse."
"Madam, I know herbal medicine."
"..."
A group of people reported their specialties one by one, which was very orderly. It can be seen that Xiao Yixun has trained them all very well in the past.
There were eleven people standing in front of me, five men and six women. The ratio of men to women was quite harmonious.
Among them was a tall man with obvious mental retardation, and he was the only one in the group whose face was full of stupidity.
Can a person with such a defective IQ also be a servant? What kind of work can he do? Lin Wanwan expressed doubts, so she nodded and asked: "What about you, what is your name, and what were you responsible for before?"
"Hehe, hehehe, I am Dabao, and I work for my wife." The silly big man scratched his head and smiled stupidly at Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan listened to his answer and understood that this was a person with a slightly low IQ, but not completely mentally retarded. He might have an IQ of around 70, so she nodded.
Then I looked at this group of people. Among them were some people with vitiligo, some with horns on their heads, some with one leg long and one short, some with hare lips, three eyes, one eye, half of their faces were covered with vitiligo.
All red birthmarks have their own flaws anyway.
Lin Wanwan didn't want to ask further questions. A group of people gathered together, looking at each other in panic. She waved her hand and asked Sun Hueyao to take them down to make arrangements, and asked Yun Shang to register the silk and gold jewelry awarded by the court.
Warehousing.
The two of them followed the order and quickly took the group away.
Xiao Chong cooked a pot of tea for the guests as he was familiar with the guests. Seeing that Lin Wanwan had arranged things and went into the hall to rest, he poured her a cup: "Cousin, this tea soup is a new one made by a certain person. You can try it."
Lin Wanwan knelt down in front of the coffee table, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and casually praised: "It's not bad."
Then he put it aside, looked at Xiao Chong and asked doubtfully: "Cousin, why do you have the leisure to make tea today?"
Xiao Chong smiled casually and said: "The autumn harvest has come to an end. I still have time to make tea."
"Are we going to start levying labor again?"
Xiao Chong did not deny it: "Yes, the farming season is slack and it is the right time to serve. Both Shanyan and Rihu Lake need people."
"Then you will be scolded again. There will be people who will draw circles and curse you every day during your service."
Xiao Chong laughed: "Who is so boring?"
"Ha, cousin, you don't think that everyone will accept the labor service happily, do you? Who would be willing to work for the court for free and have to provide their own dry food? At this time, people will look at you more.
They are all afraid that they will lose a few pounds due to the wind.”
Xiao Chong smiled indifferently and said casually: "It is one's responsibility as the Mingfu of Luang County to hold one's position and plan one's government. The opinions of others are not important."
"That's right." Lin Wanwan held her chin and continued to ask, "Cousin, how is the progress of the weir? How long will it take to build it?"
Xiao Chong said: "Based on the current progress, it will take nearly two years."
"Oh, that means it will take a total of three years."
Lin Wanwan nodded in understanding. The time taken for this project was almost the same as the time spent in history.
"After the Tashan Weir is repaired and the sea water no longer flows back, Luan County will be able to have countless fertile fields. In the future, when everyone enjoys the benefits brought by the Tashan Weir, they will understand your painstaking efforts. I dare to assert that this alone will
This matter, my cousin will definitely be famous throughout the ages."
Xiao Chong said indifferently: "I didn't do this for the sake of posthumous fame."
"Hee hee, I know your consciousness is high, cousin." Lin Wanwan said with a smile, "Serve the people wholeheartedly, not for the sake of one's past and one's reputation."
After talking for a while, Huanong came to pass the meal. The two walked side by side to the flower hall, chatting as they walked.
"Cousin, why didn't Brother Dugu come over with you today?" Dugu Di is usually very active in eating.
"There has been a serious case in the county recently. Brother Xiwen and Mr. Du went out to investigate early in the morning, but they have not returned yet." Xiao Chong did not go into details about the serious case, but just mentioned it in one sentence.
Lin Wanwan asked curiously: "A serious case? What serious case, robbery or murder?"
There is no need to keep this matter secret. Xiao Chong didn't make it clear before, he just kept it in reserve as a habit.
Seeing Lin Wanwan curiously asking, he told the truth: "Recently, mountain people hiding in the mountains have blocked the road and robbed passers-by. The county government has received several similar reports."
"Road robbery?" Lin Wanwan frowned slightly and sighed, "Where there is light, there must be shadows. Public security is not good enough. There are too many people who flout the law. Cousin, do you have any clues about these robbers?
"
Xiao Chong said: "Not yet. My cousin must bring guards and servants with her when going to Linjiazhuang, and pay attention to safety."
"That's natural." Lin Wanwan is not worried about herself. Every time she comes to Xiaoxi Town, she brings a group of people with her. What group of thieves would be so obsessed with messing with her team? They must attack passers-by.
Businessmen or single travelers.
It's just that Lin Wanwan couldn't figure it out. Historically, it wasn't said that public security was very good during the four years of Zhenguan, and the number of death row inmates in the country was only in double digits. How could there be cases of abductions and robberies in Luang County alone now?
If Xiao Chong heard Lin Wanwan's question, he would definitely laugh. As a top county, Luang County alone has 6,000 permanent residents in Xiaoxi Town, with a population of more than 40,000. There are no cases, they are happening every day.
Afterwards, Lin Wanwan finished reading the accounts in Xiaoxi Town, finished her work, and returned to Linjiazhuang with a group of people.
Regarding the county government robbery case, Lin Wanwan heard Xiao Chong say that day and didn't take it to heart. As a result, on the way back to Linjiazhuang, she encountered an unexpected situation.
Luan County has many mountains but little land. On the way from Xiaoxi Town to Wanghai Town, we passed through countless mountains. Just beside a road at the foot of a mountain, Lin Wanwan's motorcade was stopped by a big tree lying across the road.
Lin Wanwan was riding a horse at the time, and she felt something was wrong when she saw this situation.
Thank you to my book friend Xiao Qiuye for the tip. I will update 1 chapter first, and I will post 2 more chapters today. I will try my best to post it as early as possible. I originally had a manuscript saved, but I felt that the writing was very bloody, so I decided to re-conceive and re-write it.
