Yan Laoer looked at the directory in his hand and felt his heart heavy.
There were only a few households in Xiaoan Village, and he thought it would be great if he could recruit a hundred and eighty people. Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, there were about two hundred men willing to follow him.
Almost every family has a baby.
This is trust and responsibility.
Yan Laoer's pressure doubled.
"Dong Weng, what's the problem?" Kang Yinli asked anxiously.
His boss spent a long time looking at the list.
"Kangda, do you think there are too many people here? How about reducing the number?" Yan Laoer asked.
Kang Yinli: Aren’t you very excited when you recruited these people?
"Dong Weng, you want to prepare the city defense army and set up recruitment points in the city and in various villages and towns. You also said that you want to deal with the grain merchants coming from the south. You will need to divide some manpower. Some of these grain merchants come to Huju in person.
, some people who are in charge of Yongning only send capable stewards to come forward..."
He reminded again: "In addition, you promised the waiter that when you send people to villages and towns, you will take the cattle and her boy scouts with you, rent the cattle, and pay for your labor."
"Also, you have to go to the quarry. Several village elders have repeatedly told you to bring back all the people in the quarry..."
Every time Kang Yinli said something, Yan Laoer's shoulders slumped a little.
He pointed to his nose and asked in disbelief: "Is this all what I deserve?"
Kang Da nodded seriously and said yes.
Not only did he agree, he agreed happily.
"After all, the manpower is far from enough!" Yan Laoer murmured.
"There are some shortcomings." Kang Da said cautiously.
Yan Laoer rubbed his face and decided not to think about the things that are there yet.
He suddenly became the commander-in-chief of the seventh rank, but he was somewhat numb. The superior leaders arranged a lot of work, so they had full trust in him!
He has no idea how to carry out his work effectively and efficiently.
But there is something good about him. Even though he can't understand it, it doesn't affect him from doing his business.
"Let me figure it out, let's do it one by one. If I didn't think of something, please remind me." Yan Laoer said.
Kang Da's attitude was upright: "It is Yin Li's duty to investigate and fill in the gaps for Dong Weng."
"The most important thing is to buy the grain from the grain merchants. Right now we are staring at this. I don't have enough people, so I still have to recruit troops. The brothers in the militia have killed Beirong together and are trustworthy. Let's attack these people first.
call."
Food is the heaviest!
Yan Laoer is able to distinguish priorities.
Kang Da thought about it and suggested: "Dong Weng, the three border troops have gathered together, and the preparation of the city defense army cannot be delayed any longer. The people are now self-defended, so it is better to take advantage of the situation and recruit them."
"Dong Weng and the government officials are all familiar with each other, so why not borrow some help? The city defense army should cooperate with the county government to defend the city."
"As Dong Weng said, grain merchants are distributed in the two cities. Spring plowing is about to take place. Time is tight. It is a bit difficult to buy all the grain from the south. How about we focus on those big grain merchants. If we can negotiate smoothly, we can win
With more than half of the food, you can say it's a success."
…
Yan Yu moved her little ears away from the door curtain and tiptoed away. When she was far away, she ran towards her house.
Li Xuemei is cleaning up here.
When he heard the noise, he didn't even look back and said, "You disappeared as soon as you ran away. Your teacher didn't say anything, but he must be angry in his heart. You go to the palace tomorrow, explain things properly, and ask your teacher to come back."
The child didn't even sit down and attend class seriously, and the people were gone. She would also be angry.
But she felt that Miss Mu did not leave out of anger. Someone from the palace sent a letter to ask her to leave that day. There must be something wrong.
However, she didn't want to tell her daughter about this, so she asked her to invite him back honestly.
"I understand, mother!" Yan Yu responded obediently.
"Later, you can find all the farm tools you bought on the platform, and we can practice." Li Xuemei added.
"Mom, I really don't need you. I can handle our land myself. Besides, I have Uncle Qi and the others, San Bao, Donkey, and Aunt Rong, who can all help me."
Li Xuemei put aside the folded quilt with the new quilt cover, turned around, and faced her daughter face to face.
"Your uncle from the Qi family and your father have gone to the army. Although our family has Sanbao and the others, we still have a lot of land. I don't know how many cows we can rent out and how many people we can get in exchange for help. How long will it take to farm? You still have a lot of land."
We need to open up wasteland again... and there are several partners you created to form a gang. The strong men from each family have left, so we can't help. It's not the right time to recruit troops, but it happens to be in time for spring plowing!"
"It doesn't matter, mother!" Yan Yu glanced at the courtyard and saw that there was no movement. Her father and Uncle Kang were still talking, so she spoke louder: "The military camp is next to us, and father has the final say.
Then change the training program and temporarily add farming. Hey, hey, we can also hold a competition to see who can plant the fastest and best. My father will provide the prize. Who makes him a big official in our family!"
Li Xuemei said with a smile: "You let your father do this and that. He has a lot of work to do, so how can he free up manpower to farm the land?"
"I have confidence in my father." Yan Yu was full of confidence. "I listened to what he just said to Uncle Kang. He found the key points very accurately. Buy the food first. As long as you get the food, everything else will be easy."
"Mom, don't tell me. Uncle Kang is indeed an official. He is thoughtful. With him by my father's side, I can finally feel more at ease when my father goes out to be an official."
She looked like she was worried about her father, and successfully made Li Xuemei laugh.
"Xiaoer! Xiaoer!" Yan Laoer's shout came from outside.
Yan Yu had an arrogant little expression like "Look, dad just can't live without me." He turned around neatly and responded crisply: "Come on, dad!"
As soon as he trotted over, Yan Yu raised his head and gave his father a bright smile.
"What's the matter, Dad?"
"I've decided to go to each village to recruit soldiers and leave as soon as possible. Are you ready?" Yan Laoer asked about the cows and children who were going with him.
Both men agreed that it would be best to take the cow with them, so that if someone rents it, they can stay there and avoid having to make a second trip.
It doesn't matter if you can't rent it out, just take it out to graze.
"We, the Boy Scouts, are always ready!" Yan Yu said with a smile, "We can set off at any time."
Sometimes Yan Laoer is really submissive, asking his daughter to take care of the children in the village one by one.
Just pull out the key and it's very useful.
"Are you going?" Yan Laoer asked.
Yan Yu shook his head, and the expression on his face instantly turned pitiful: "I have to go to the palace tomorrow to pick up my teacher."
When Yan Laoer heard this, he couldn't hold back his laughter: "You have to hurry up. You have to learn from your father on this. I respect your master so much. When your master sees me, his eyes are full of joy."
Yan Yu's words were charming and her eyebrows were flying: "How can it be the same? Master can't go on in teaching, so he can only give up and find something better in other aspects, but my teacher thinks I still have room for improvement.
Repeatedly strict requirements, alas! I am so good that I am like a light bulb in the dark night, shining brightly!!"
