Yan Laoer looked at the directory in his hand and felt his heart heavy.
There are only a few households in Xiao'an Village. He thought it would be great if he could recruit a hundred and eighty people, but he didn't expect that at the end of the day, about two hundred men were 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 has been looking at the list for a long time.
"Kangda, do you think there are too many people here? Why don't you reduce 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. Also, you said that you want to deal with the grain merchants coming from the south. At least you need to divide some manpower. Some of these grain merchants come to Huju in person. , some of them were in Yongning and only sent capable stewards to come forward..."
He then reminded: "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, and rent the cattle in exchange 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: "I deserve all this?"
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 he had or had.
He suddenly became the general banner of the seventh rank, which is somewhat numb. The superior leaders have arranged a lot of work, so they have full trust in him!
How to carry out the work effectively and efficiently, he has no idea yet.
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 has a correct attitude: "It is Yinli's duty to check for Dong Weng's legacy and fill in the gaps."
"The most important thing is to buy the grain from the grain merchants. Right now we are focusing on 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 armies 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 it’s better to borrow some help. The city defense army should cooperate with the county government to defend the city.”
"As Dong Weng said, grain merchants are located in the two cities. Spring plowing is coming soon. 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, it can be said to be 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 for a few classes seriously, and the person was gone, which would have made her angry.
But she felt that Ms. Mu did not leave out of anger. Someone from the palace sent a letter to invite her to leave that day. There must be something going on.
But she didn’t want to tell her daughter about this, so she asked her to invite the person 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, Sanbao, Donkey, and Grandma Rong, all of whom can help me.”
Li Xuemei put aside the quilt folding board that had been replaced with a new quilt cover, turned around, and faced her daughter.
"Your uncle from the Qi family and your father have gone to the army. Although our family has Sanbao and the others, we have a lot of land. I don't know how many cows we can rent out, and how many people can be hired to help. How long will it take to farm? You still have 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. Hehehe, we can also hold a competition to see who can plant faster and better. The prize will be provided by my father, who makes our family rich! "
Li Xuemei said funnyly: "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 become an official."
She looked like she was worried about her father, which successfully made Li Xuemei amused.
“Xiaoer! Xiaoer!” Yan Laoer’s shout came from outside.
Yan Yu looked like a mother, look at her arrogant little expression, Dad just can't live without me, he turned around neatly and responded crisply: "Come on, Dad!"
As soon as he ran 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 oxen with them. If someone rents the oxen, they can stay there and save the need for a second trip.
It's okay 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.”
Yan Laoer is really submissive sometimes. He asks his daughter to take care of the children in the village one by one.
The key can be easily pulled out and is 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!"
Puer 2: Teacher, the students will come to pick you up soon!
Ms. Mu: She will go to the countryside soon to start teaching work.
