Since he had to recuperate in the garden, Atractylodes asked Basil to strengthen the guards of the garden, and the servants in the garden also had to be cleaned up.

Most of the people in the garden were chosen to stay in the garden to serve when the emperor was alive, although the first emperor never lived in the garden, but the servants always lived in the wing room at the back of the garden, and went to clean the garden every day.

In other words, except for the guards brought by Cangshu himself, the rest of the people are not their own people.

Cangshu looked at the people on the list, a total of one hundred and twenty-one people.

Among them, there were thirty-one maidservants, forty slaves, forty-five guards, and the remaining five were girls who served the emperor.

Because the first emperor never lived in the garden, the girls here have been idle here for various reasons, and they can't wait for the arrangement.

It turned out that the girl who was as beautiful as a flower is now also an old pearl yellow.

The garden is far away from the capital, and there are too many people in the garden who are not their own.

If Atractylodes wants to change blood, it will be very troublesome to really get it.

It's easy for the servants to deal with it, but these girls are a little worried.

Lao Tzu's woman, how can her son not easily move?

Although these people have no name and no share, they are also ordered to serve the first emperor.

"Go and prepare some silver and jewelry, and then find a good family to settle those people."

Atractylodes rubbed his temples and said to Basil unusually tiredly.

After solving this matter, Atractylodes didn't feel easy.

The matter that Bai Ying was promised a few days ago has been asked to go down today, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to reclaim such a large piece of land.

Once the crops are planted, they have to take care of and fertilize them from time to time, and this is all about arranging people to go down.

Today, the closest thing to the wasteland is a village ten miles away, but that village has no income because of the barren land. Men have moved to the cities to earn a living, leaving behind only women, children and the elderly, and there is almost no labor.

If you want to gather the labor force, you have to go farther to the villages.

But the people also lost a lot of time coming and going, and the working time was very small.

Basil saw that his grandfather was so distressed, and left quietly without making a sound.

Since this matter was thrown to the master by Miss Xu, then something went wrong, how could Miss Xu not ask?

Thinking so, he walked out of the study and went directly to Bai Ying's residence.

Since she prepared a lot of drama books for Bai Ying before Cangshu, she took some of them to the garden, and took them to Xu Jiashi every day after returning from a walk.

It's just watching the play, and I also see the problem.

Most of the plots in it are bitter love dramas, and Xu Jiashi can't help but cry every time he sees it.

Looking at Xu Jia's crying appearance, Bai Ying's heart really wanted to cry without tears.

She was just thinking of giving Xu Jia's pastime, how did she know that she would encounter such a situation?

For the first time, she would persuade that this was all made up by others, and that it should not be fully believed.

But now, she doesn't know how to persuade her, because she has finished what she needs to say.

She also didn't let Xu Jiashi see it, but she was forced by Xu Jia's family, saying that if she didn't show it, she would be an unfilial daughter, how could she hide such a good show?

Now she watched Xu Jiashi cry again, afraid that if she continued like this, her body would collapse.

Compared with her worries, Mrs. Luo didn't think so.

"Miss Xu, let me ask you, do you know the taste of tears?"

Bai Ying thought for a moment and said, "Salty and bitter." ”

The old lady shook her head disapprovingly and said, "You're only half right. Human tears can be divided into two kinds, one is weeping with joy and the other is weeping with anger. The tears of the former are tasteless, while the latter, as you say, are salty and bitter. ”

Hearing what the old lady said, Bai Ying was confused.

If it is really as the old lady said, is there any difference in this?

"The tears that people shed when they are sad and angry are good for the human body, because they convert the toxins in the body into tears, so they are bitter and taste extremely salty."

Bai Ying changed her direction and thought about Xu Jia's phenomenon, and found that the old lady was extremely reasonable, and she was speechless.

What's more, the old lady is a miracle doctor, how dare she not believe what she said?

"It's just that too many tears will also cause harm to the body, and the eyes are even more harmful."

At the same time that she was convinced, the old lady said such a thing, so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the play book from Xu Jia's hand.

"Mother, let's see it here today, and we'll see the rest tomorrow. Now let's go out for a walk and relax. ”

Faced with the script that he was robbed of, Xu Jiashi didn't follow.

"Ying'er, you asked me to finish reading some later. Will this woman leave with a pain in her back for her husband's career? ”

Xu Jiashi said, and even wanted to step forward and snatch the play book from Banxia's hand.

Bai Ying stopped her, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "The storyline in it is like that, naturally it will." Okay Mother, let's go out quickly, relax and relax. ”

In the end, Bai Ying can be said to have brought Xu Jia's half-push and half-pull to the garden.

At this time, the sun was high, and when Bai Ying passed by the lotus pond, the heat in the water rushed to her face, which made her can't help but speed up her pace.

After walking to the pavilion, Bai Ying hurriedly asked people to prepare a few pots of ice cubes next to them to escape the heat, and then worried that the cold of the ice cubes would make Xu Jia's uncomfortable, so he asked people to move the ice cubes farther away.

Banxia, who ordered someone to finish these things, looked up and happened to see Basil who was coming not far away, so frightened that she hurriedly walked to Bai Ying's side.

"Master, Guard Luo is walking towards this side, looking at him, it seems that he is not good."

Bai Ying, who heard this, looked up and found that it was indeed as Banxia said.

It's just that this basil's always cold expression gives people a feeling that no one is close, and anyone who sees it feels that it is not good.

At this time, there were only two people in the pavilion, and Basil naturally did not have anything to do with his mother.

In other words, Basil came to find her this time.

Knowing this, she whispered to Xu Jiashi that she had something to do, so she asked Banxia to stay with Xu Jiashi and go forward alone.

"Is there anything wrong with Guard Luo looking for me?"

As soon as he walked up to Basil, Bai Ying asked directly.

Her confident appearance made Basil's mood change slightly, he put his hands around his chest, and asked, "How do you know that I came to look for you, not for the old lady?" ”

Bai Ying, who heard this, couldn't help laughing, looked at Basil and asked disappreciatively, "I still know more or less about you." If you were looking for my mother, would you still come and listen to me? ”

Basil, who thought he had already been told, did not continue the topic, reached out and made a petition, saying, "Borrow a step to speak." ”

Bai Ying nodded, and Basil didn't lead the way, and walked straight forward.

There is a rockery near the pavilion, and Bai Ying stands in the shade of the rockery, feeling that it is much cooler now than just now.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at Basil standing beside her seriously, but she didn't speak for a long time, which made her really scratch her head.

Just as she wanted to break the awkward silence with a voice, Basil finally spoke.

"Does Miss Xu really want to reclaim the wasteland outside the woods?"

As soon as he came, he asked about this, and I thought that it was not that Uncle Thirteen wanted Basil to ask himself, it was all Basil's own meaning.

Bai Ying, who understood this, straightened her waist and looked firm, trying to make herself look more majestic.

"Yes, does Guard Luo have any doubts?"

Basil said: "I don't have any doubts, it's just that Miss Xu doesn't know that it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to reclaim that wasteland?" Ten miles away from this garden, there is only a small village surnamed Li in front of it, and that village I think Miss Xu has seen on the way here. ”

Bai Ying nodded, she did see that village. If it weren't for the smoke rising from a few houses, she would have thought that no one lived there.

Seeing Bai Ying's impression, Basil continued: "The land is barren, the income is very small, the men have gone to the city to make a living, they only go home two days a month, there are only the elderly, children and women in the house, and there is almost no labor. ”

Hearing this, Bai Ying suddenly understood.

No wonder, it was dinner time, but she didn't see how many households had cooking smoke.

She looked up at Basil, knowing what he was here for.

She knew before that Basil didn't want to see her, and now she came to her to throw the problem to her without telling Uncle Thirteen, just to see that she was in trouble and retreated.

Who can stop her from doing what she wants to do now?

However, this Basil seems to underestimate her, anyway, she also knows that it is not a recent thing that Basil can't get used to her.

In his previous life, he had persuaded Uncle Thirteen many times not to bother with her anymore.

At that time, she had already met Li Yuanzhi, and for Li Yuanzhi, she repeatedly fell out with Uncle Thirteen.

She never blamed Basil for doing that, and she supported him in doing so.

If Uncle Thirteen had listened to Basil's advice at that time, then they would not have been without contact for three years after that, and they would have been in a cold war, ignoring each other.

But now it's different, her world begins to revolve around Uncle Thirteen.

She not only wants to live for herself, but also for Uncle Thirteen.

The reason why she asked Uncle Thirteen to take over this matter before was that she was worried about the manpower problem.

She is just a woman, and her appeal is certainly not as strong as that of Uncle Thirteen.

Now it seems that Uncle Thirteen is also a little difficult in terms of manpower and material resources.

forcibly pulled the people to open up the wasteland, and it was not good for the reputation of the thirteenth uncle.

After she told Uncle Thirteen her ideas, she also thought of a variety of ways to solve things, but each of them was a little difficult to implement, and it was easy to leave trouble.

She may not have been able to do it before, but not now.

"Are you saying that Lijiazhuang is not without labor now, but the main force is not at home?"

Basil didn't understand why Bai Ying asked this, so he straightened Bai Ying's question before finally saying, "That's right." ”

If that's the case, then things are much easier.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile of victory on her face.
