106: Let’s work hand in hand to achieve a well-off life [please vote]
Qishan has become accustomed to Shen Xiaolangjun's erratic way of thinking: "Name it? What name does Xiaolangjun want to give it?"
Shen Tang had a serious look on his face: "A village of all villains?"
There is no good person in the whole village, inside or outside.
All of them are villains and deserve their reputation.
Qishan: "..."
"No, no, this name will scare away newcomers. At first glance, you might think it's some illegal pyramid scheme. How about calling it 'Reformation Village'? That doesn't work either. It still doesn't sound very decent. How about changing it to 'Hand in hand?' Go to a well-off village'?"
Qishan: "..."
He really couldn't put much hope in Shen Xiaolangjun.
Half-smiling but not smiling: "Shen Xiaolang, you can choose whatever you like."
It won't be used in the future anyway.
Shen·Tang, a patient with difficulty in choosing: “…”
She left the choice to God.
I grabbed a handful of weeds and counted nine in total, so I decided to choose the third one——
Let’s work together to achieve prosperity!
This is God’s will!
She patted the grass clippings on her clothes and returned to the open space. Less than 30% of the people in the open space were all young and strong men with sound hands and feet. Gongshu Wu was inspecting everyone with his hands behind his back.
Shen Tang always felt that something was not harmonious.
Is Gong Shuwu going to arrange for them to undergo labor reform? Change their minds and start a new life? What about the others? Where did the others go?
"Where are Yuanliang and the others?"
"Mr. Qi just ordered a few people to go down the mountain to buy."
Shen Tang was curious: "Purchasing?"
"Well, Mr. Chu took Mrs. Lin to check the grain storage in Dongchu, and found that the supply was insufficient for three days. It happened that Mr. Zhai was going down the mountain to meet his brother, so Mr. Qi accepted the errand and went down the mountain. He will return early tomorrow morning ."
Of course, the most important thing is to pick up his family.
"Mr. Gongshu, what are you doing?"
If it was a labor camp, Shen Tang would prefer to throw them away to build houses or open up wasteland to grow things. Self-sufficiency is the way to go. How can you waste so much money if you go down the mountain to buy every time? Once the war breaks out in Sibao County, prices will skyrocket, and gold and silver will be lost. No mountain can bear it.
Gong Shuwu remembered the advice of the two gentlemen, but did not speak too directly for fear of scaring Shen Tang: "The world is not safe. If you want to live a stable life, force is indispensable. These young men have poor qualifications, but with a lot of practice, they can It’s barely usable.”
"So it turns out that Yuanliang and the others are thoughtful."
There must be more than this group of bandits in the mountains.
In this dangerous world where wars are everywhere, if you want to create a well-off village, you cannot make the village rich just by farming. You must also cultivate a certain amount of armed forces to ensure the stability of the surrounding environment of the village and avoid being robbed by other envious villages.
"By the way, where have those old and weak people gone?"
"Mr. Chu arranged other tasks for them."
It’s not easy either, cleaning, cutting firewood, logging, and moving rocks.
"Where's Miss Lin?"
Gong Shuwu: "She should still be in Dongchu."
Shen Tang diverted to the East Kitchen.
From afar, I saw Chu Yao and Lin Feng, each holding a mat. They looked down at the account books and discussed something. Lin Feng sometimes shook his head, sometimes frowned, and sometimes took out an old abacus and clicked it. , his fingers flexibly fiddled with a few abacus beads...
Shen Tang: "???"
Inexplicably, she felt a sense of shame in her heart, feeling that she had become an unemployed vagrant doing nothing.
Even Lin Feng has arranged work. She is responsible for managing a dozen captive women - some are elderly, some are just the right age, and some are younger than her - and let them do some starching and sex. Food, tailoring work.
Shen Tang: "..."
Strictly speaking, Sister Lin Feng is a child laborer, right???
The key is that she has no stage fright at all.
When I thought about it again, I felt that this was a matter of course.
Although the Lin family in Lingzhou is not a wealthy family, it is still a well-established and wealthy family. Counting the property of the manor and other buildings, there are more than 200 servants alone. If such an incident had not happened, the family would have been able to function normally. It is said that Lin Feng should look for a suitable family at the age of thirteen, marry at the age of fifteen, and become a clan wife in another family or a matron of the family.
According to the female education of the inner house in this era, Lin Feng might have been taken by the Lin family's mother to learn the housekeeping duties at the age of five or six, teaching her how to manage the house and the ways of the world. Even if she only learned a superficial knowledge, it would be enough to manage a dozen people.
It was for this reason that Chu Yao asked Lin Feng to help. Upon contact, he found that this woman was extremely perceptive and could learn everything very quickly.
I couldn't help but secretly say it was a pity.
What's a pity?
It's a pity that Lin Feng is not a man.
Women cannot open up the Dan Mansion, so naturally they are not brave enough.
After the discussion was almost over, Chu Yao finally remembered that there was Shen Tang beside him who was looking at Lin Feng eagerly, and put away the account books.
"Is there something wrong with Goro?"
"Of course I can borrow it from Miss Lin."
Chu Yao's face dropped, even though he knew that Shen Tang didn't mean that at all: "Wu Lang, be careful with your words and don't offend."
At first, Lin Feng didn't understand why Chu Yao had such a dark face. After hearing his words, he realized what was wrong and was so embarrassed that he covered half of his face with a booklet.
Shen Tang: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Please be clear-headed, how old is sister Lin Feng?
"...Okay, okay, I'm cautious, I'm cautious, I can't delay any longer, otherwise it will get dark again..."
Shen Tang pulled the person away as if his butt was on fire.
The place where the Lin family guards dumped their corpses was not high. There was a river below with fast currents. Some of the corpses fell onto the river beach and were eaten by wild beasts that smelled of blood. Some of them fell into the river and floated away along the river.
Some of them were luckily hung on the vines and tree branches growing out of the mountain wall and were well preserved. Shen Tang climbed up and put the person down.
Those unrecognizable corpses could only be identified based on their owner's clothing, and less than six out of ten corpses were found.
Seeing the little girl crying silently into tears, Shen Tang wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start. Everything she said at this time was feeble, so she could only say dryly: "Get your grandmother and the others settled first, I'll talk to you later." I'll take you to the lower reaches of the river to look for you... If they see you like this, they won't be able to walk without peace of mind."
Lin Feng had no reaction and cried even harder.
Shen Tang suddenly grew taller and taller. It was really hard for such a cute, sensible and beautiful child to cry in front of her!
Looking at the old lady with a relatively peaceful face, Shen Tang felt relieved and said solemnly: "If the old lady has not gone far yet, please listen to this junior - from now on, the junior will treat Lin Feng as a younger sister. No. I dare say that I have no worries about food and clothing, but as long as I am alive, she will definitely be alive too!"
——————
"Teacher, look -"
A dusty carriage was parked by the river, a bonfire was lit not far away, and an old man was grilling fish.
Hearing the noise, he got up and walked over. Following the direction pointed by his disciple's little hand, he saw several corpses floating in the middle of the river. He raised his hand to cover Ayan's eyes and sighed: "Ayan, don't look."
Ayan looked up at him: "No, there is a living person."
Old man: "A living person?"
Ayan said: "One is still alive."
An old man and a young man jumped into the water and fished out the man who was still breathing. After some examination, he found out why this man was still alive. The ventricle of his heart was much more deviated than others, and the penetrating wound on his chest happened to avoid the vital part. .
There are many injuries on the body, including broken ribs, broken arms and legs, and I don’t know how long I floated in the water. I lost too much blood, but I can still breathe. It’s all thanks to the good health of Wenxin Scholar!

Let's see if we can regain our strength tomorrow.
