In the next few days, a fleet of convoys transported grain and wild boars from outside the city into Yanyun City.
The people responsible for transporting them were all lieutenants of the army, and they all waited in the dead of night... Those things were all placed in a huge empty courtyard in the east of the city. Xiao Xuanye directly handed these things to Sheng Nuan and returned them to her.
A team of Xuanying Guards and a team of soldiers were assigned.
The day after the things were returned, the Zhou brothers finally arrived at Yanyunguan to join Sheng Nuan.
Previously, Sheng Nuan felt that it was too dangerous to go with Xiao Xuanye, so he gave the brothers some supplies and money and let them go on their own. Along the way, there were a few more people around the brothers, who were also picked up on the way.
Knowing that the people brought by the Zhou brothers were all responsible people, Sheng Nuan kept them and began to recruit workers in the city.
There were many victims of the disaster in the city, and most of the residents were short of food and clothing. When they saw the recruitment notice, they all came to the city in an instant.
What was brought back were corn cobs, muddy potatoes, and bloody pigs... Sheng Nuan also used points to redeem cotton and coarse cloth that filled several rooms.
Fortunately, these things are very cheap. One point can be exchanged for a large truck of cotton. She also chose the cheapest coarse cloth, but even so, she basically used up the points she had earned through embarrassment along the way.
Looking at the almost empty points, Sheng Nuan unexpectedly hoped to have more lines every day, but she could only think about it.
She divided the workers she recruited according to gender. Women were mainly responsible for shucking corn and making cotton-padded jackets, while men were responsible for grinding and grinding corn and killing pigs.
It's all about eating, and it's essential to have someone supervise the work to avoid theft. The recruitment notice clearly states that the pay will be generous, but once theft is discovered or one person is found, the entire team will be dismissed and will never be hired again.
You can also let them supervise each other.
The most important thing is that once you enter the workshop, you will have food and accommodation inside, and you are not allowed to go out at will.
The war is coming, and she wants to ensure the safety of this place to the greatest extent.
Sheng Nuan would never test human nature, nor did he want to get into trouble at this juncture, so he set strict rules to avoid anything happening midway.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yanyunguan. These things may seem like a lot, but in fact they are just a drop in the bucket and cannot last for a few days. It is impossible for everyone to have cotton-padded clothes.
Sheng Nuan's plan is that one cotton-padded coat is enough for ten people. One cotton-padded coat can be worn interchangeably. Whoever is standing guard outside can wear it. It is always better for the rest of the people to stay in the house.
This can also ensure to the greatest extent that soldiers will not suffer from frostbite or injuries due to being on duty on cold nights.
As for the meat... each person can have one or two pieces, and can eat the broth mixed with rice, which is enough to ensure that they are full.
There are too many people, and it is impossible to cover everything.
I hope I can hold on until the people Xiao Xuanye sent out to buy food and grass come back...
Just as Sheng Nuan's food and clothing workshop was in full swing, with truck after truck delivering things to the military camp late every night, in a stockade in the south of the city, a man in brocade clothes held his chin and a mustache with a fierce look in his eyes: "What the hell?
What's going on, where are the people?"
This man's name was Shui Mu, and he was the brother-in-law of a general in the Xiao family army. Even when the army couldn't afford food, he was kept fat and white.
Shuimu fell in love with a girl who was a victim of the disaster two days ago and had already agreed to buy it home. However, he was told that the girl followed her family into the big workshop in the east of the city.
Now that a man can survive on his own, he is naturally unwilling to sell the girl to him again.
Because the place in Shengnuan is too mysterious, no one knows where she came from. They only know that there is a lot of food in there.
Shui Mu had been thinking about that place for a long time. When he saw that his little beauty had been snatched away, he led a group of people and rushed there aggressively.
At the same time, Sheng Nuan led several soldiers and arrested several people from the workers in the workshop... Those people were all spies of the Southern Barbarians.
When they were dragged out, the spies were stunned.
They had no idea how they were discovered. After all, they had been working in the workshop for several days just to be on the safe side and almost died of exhaustion!
But he finally managed to stabilize and gain the trust of the people around him, but he was arrested before he could even pry out the news?
All the exhausting work and emotional work in the past few days have been in vain!
The few people were dragged out and were still struggling desperately. Sheng Nuan smiled and explained to the people around him: "This is a Nanman spy. It has nothing to do with you. Everyone is busy with their own business."
The informants all yelled: "Let me go, this is a false accusation... You don't want to be paid, you are bullying the victims, everyone, run away, this is a black workshop, you don't want to be paid, you are bullying the victims!"
"
However, the people around them just looked at them, but no one said anything.
Oppression?
They were homeless and had no food, clothing or warmth. Finally, they now have work and food to eat. Not to mention getting paid, they would not leave even if they were not paid!
Something doesn’t look right with these people!
Sheng Nuan led the people to drag the informants out and said in a low voice: "Kill them right here."
The Southern Barbarians are ready to make a move, so let’s kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!
Shui Mu and a group of servants rushed to the door of the workshop aggressively. Just as he was about to approach, he saw the door of the workshop opened, and several men with fierce looks came out carrying a few people. Without saying a word, they raised their swords and dropped them.
Blood splashed all over the ground, and Shui Mu stood there with his eyes wide open for a moment!
He relied on his brother-in-law to dominate and prosper, but the most he could do was eat and drink for free and molest women from good families. How had he ever seen such a battle?
The next moment, he saw the attractive woman looking up and asking him with a smile: "Is something wrong?"
Shui Mu was the most lustful person, but at this moment, when he saw this woman who had witnessed the murder but still smiled and had a kind face, he felt a chill down his back.
"I, we..."
Shui Mu's calves were trembling, and he said dryly: "We are here to ask if they are still recruiting people?"
Sheng Nuan smiled: "Here, you came at the right time. We just need a few grinders."
Before, she had been arranging those spies to push the heaviest millstones, and now there are more spies, so great!
Shui Mu, with a bitter smile on his face, was taken into the yard and brought to the millstone, whereupon he began his grinding life.
He had never known before that food was so hard to come by, and he had to work so hard in circles to get so much food in a long time.
The key is that he works extremely hard and is ridiculed by others, calling him weak.
After finally staying up for two days, Shui Mu took advantage of the night to get up, endured the stench, and escaped from the dog hole at the corner of the hut!
Sheng Nuan knew he had escaped and didn't care.
It was just to teach a lesson.
But what I didn't expect was that early the next morning, as soon as the door of the workshop was opened, I saw three people standing at the door pressing Shuimu.
The leader's eyes were full of joy: "Miss, we finally found you, do you still remember, I, Bai Daxing!"
Bai Daxing laughed and said: "My master is in Youzhou. After I returned to life, I asked my master about Jellyfish. He told me that he was in Yanyun City... and sure enough, I caught him. It turns out that this guy is really not a good bird!"
Shui Mu's face was gray and desperate, and he screamed: "My fucking name is not Jellyfish, my name is Shui Mu! Shui Mu! Are you fucking deaf?"
Sheng Nuan knew that these three people were Huo Xiao's men, and looked at Shui Mu being carried, dumbfounded.
Bai Daxing asked: "Miss, what should I do with this person?"
Sheng Nuan held back a smile and waved her hand: "Send it back for grinding."
Shui Mu's face was filled with despair for a moment, and tears were about to flow out.
Sheng Nuan turned around and walked inside. At this moment, the customer service said: "Host, the Southern Barbarians have sent troops..."
