Chapter 231 How to Place
After listening to this, Su Qingmei was stunned for a long time.
Forgive her for coming from a civilized world, but when she heard such a thing, she thought it was a book of heaven.
My God, what kind of trick is this?
You have no food, you admit your weakness.
Can't you admit your weakness? Can't you withdraw your troops?
Isn't it said that a gentleman's revenge is never too late?
Do you have to immediately suppress Chenzhou before you are satisfied?
People who have been emperors really have no detours at all. Do you have to not give in and fight to the death before you are satisfied?
It just makes the general public suffer.
"Get up. Since you are willing to sell your bodies to me, I will naturally take you in. As long as you don't commit crimes, don't cheat, and are willing to obey my orders, you will naturally have a bite of food to eat."
"Thank you, female boss, thank you, female boss."
There are so many people that Su Qingmei can't recognize them all. They are all disheveled and dirty, and can't see their original faces clearly.
Su Qingmei only took a quick look. There were men and women, many young and strong, and more than a dozen elderly and children.
Such a large group of people entered the village. The guard had already reported to the village leader Zhong. A bunch of people from the village followed the village leader Zhong.
When she learned that they were servants bought by Su Qingmei, she was a little shocked. How much money would it cost? Do you need so many people to serve?
When she heard about their experiences, she was immediately relieved.
So the people outside are living so miserably? There is no food to eat, and they have reached the point of cannibalism?
Looking at them, and then looking at herself, she was grateful.
The soft-hearted people looked at the disheveled clothes, such a cold day, and a pair of holey shoes on their feet, especially so many elderly and children, their hands and feet must be red, and the soft-hearted people shed tears.
"Qingmei, how to accommodate so many people?"
Zhaizhu Zhong sympathized and worried at the same time. So many people came, more than half of the current number of people in the village.
I don't know if they can coexist peacefully.
He is a person who just wants to live a peaceful life. The people in the village are all people who know each other well.
When Siyuan and Siyuan heard the question from the village chief Zhong, they realized that they had accepted so many people without considering how to resettle them in the future.
"Miss..."
Su Qingmei waved at them. She knew what they were going to say.
After thinking for a while, she said, "You two know the caves where we used to grow vegetables. There are some small caves nearby that we abandoned before. You take them there for temporary resettlement."
"Yes." The two were quite embarrassed, as if they had acted on their own.
After Su Qingmei gave them instructions, she turned to the village chief Zhong and the villagers.
Said: "Sorry to bother you. They will be temporarily placed in the cave of the mountain next door. I will move them away after a while, so you can avoid going there during this period. In addition, if anyone has extra old pots and pans, clothes, shoes and socks, fire basins and fire buckets, etc., you can bring them here, I will pay to collect them."
"No money, no money, if you don't mind, I have some old clothes and quilts at home, I will go back and get them.
"I have some at home too. This winter, we have a kang and a fire table, and it's not cold at all. The winter clothes we prepared at home have not been used. I'll go get them."
"Now that we have a fire table, the fire basins and fire buckets at home are idle, I'll go get them too. I have extra pots and pans at home, I'll go get them too. "
The villagers were very enthusiastic and immediately turned around to go home to get their things.
Dozens of people stood there, shivering with cold, feeling uneasy. They were relieved to learn that they were taken in.
Lu and Ruyi also felt very sympathetic towards them. Since they were all their own servants, they immediately went back to move things.
After a while, each family in the village brought in all kinds of things, including food, clothing and daily necessities.
"Xiu'er, please help me record what each family sent."
"Okay." Xiu'er immediately took out a small notebook and wrote it down.
Su Qing'an didn't want to take the things sent by the villagers for free.
She still had to pay the villagers for silver.
Everyone's life was not easy, and these things were not unnecessary for each family. Now everyone lived frugally, and they could be used for a long time after being patched up.
And favors are used less and less.
"Siyuan and Siyuan, you two take these things and lead them over. "Seeing that they were freezing, Su Qing'an asked Si Yuan and the others to lead them over.
"Yes."
"In addition, you will make a personnel file for them later, including their names, places of origin, family members, abilities, and so on."
"Yes." They were familiar with the personnel file, and had seen Su Qing'an make personnel files for various villages before.
A bunch of people followed them, and Su Qing'an stood there looking at the backs of the group of people, stunned for a long time.
She wanted to buy some people, mainly to develop and manage her mountain.
She hoped that there would be some farmers who knew how to take care of the land and were responsible people, so that they could arrange for them to plant something on the mountain in the spring.
Who knew that so many people would come to her all of a sudden.
There were dozens of people, and although it didn't cost much money to buy them, they needed food, drink, shelter, and clothes... They couldn't live in the cave all the time.
It was a headache.
The money she got from selling tea seeds last year hadn't even warmed up yet.
After returning home, Su Qingyu ordered Lu and Ruyi: "You two call some diligent women in the village to help make food and drink and send them over there. When you leave later, you Then ask some men in the village to help carry some food, and tell them that they will cook the next meal. You two will see if there are enough cooking pots, and then come back and think of something."
"yes."
"Also, you have a chat with those women to see what kind of work they do, housework and so on. You two can help distribute them there. Don't have a bunch of people without a leader and just make a mess."
"yes."
The mother and daughter agreed and quickly made preparations. Ruyi went to call for help, while Lu returned to the kitchen to prepare food.
Su Qingyu also went to the kitchen to take a look. The family originally prepared enough food to last until spring, but when dozens of people came, they couldn't last more than a few days. Have to buy some more.
Su Qingnao called Xiu'er again, took a look at the book she recorded, and worked with her to calculate the prices of the old things taken by the villagers, and asked her to help them make a trip and give them money. They bought it.
He also asked Xiu'er to ask at each of their homes if they had any extra food that they could sell to her.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"By the way, Xiu'er, where is Cypress? I haven't seen anyone for a few days."
"He went to Jianji." Xiu'er said with lowered eyes.
"Ah. Didn't you let him stay in the village? Your grandfather and I have something to ask him to do from time to time, and he's not on the list either?"
Xiu'er pinched the corner of her clothes and didn't dare to look at Su Qingyu. She felt a little regretful in her heart. Sister Su seemed to want to tell Bai Shu to do something, but she ran away in anger.
"If, if Sister Su comes to see him for something, I'll have someone replace him."
Su Qingyao looked at her doubtfully: "Aren't you two okay? Are you causing trouble again?"
Su Qingyao also couldn't understand these two people. They were originally a pair of affectionate little childhood sweethearts. They got engaged when they were young because Xiu'er encountered a bandit...
She felt that she was not worthy of Bai Shu, but Bai Shu didn't care and still wanted to get married to her.
The two of them tortured each other a lot last year. Looking at the winter, they have already made an agreement and they no longer avoid each other. Is this something going on again?
Seeing that she didn't want to mention it anymore, Su Qingyu waved her away.
"Okay, just don't regret it. I like Baishu very much. Otherwise, when I have a meeting with other village owners next time, I can ask them if they have a suitable candidate. He is the only one left in Baishu's family, so it's not good to stay forever. Being alone, we still have to carry on the family lineage.”
Upon hearing this, Xiu'er looked up at Su Qingyu and hesitated to speak.
