There are two days left to go until the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Juxian Village is lively and lively, everyone is busy with cleaning, lighting up, and a joyful atmosphere. And Dongping City is also a lively scene, large families hang red lanterns high, and ordinary people also post Spring Festival couplets. The children were very happy, and a large crowd of them put on new clothes, and rushed to the east and then to the west. Tiangong also came to join in the fun, the goose-feather-like snowflakes swayed down leisurely, the earth was covered in silver frost, the big trees seemed to be wearing heavy cotton clothes, and the roofs seemed to be wearing cotton wool hats.

However, there is also disharmony in this festive atmosphere. Those beggars and homeless people scattered in the streets and alleys outside the city always make people feel a little pimple in their hearts. Half a year ago, there were many beggars and homeless people who came to Dongping, and half a year later, when the old and the new should have been celebrated together, there were more homeless beggars.

……

Wang Yue returned to the villa. As soon as he entered the door, he saw many private soldiers carrying many large boxes under the command of Zhao Wu. Wang Yue's eyes lit up, and he hurried over, "Zhao Wu, are you back?" Zhao Wu hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the master!" Wang Yue looked around and asked urgently, "What about Xuancheng?" Zhao Wudao: "Xuancheng went to the backyard to meet the master." Didn't expect the owner to be in the lodge. ”

Wang Yue immediately went to the backyard. Seeing that Xuancheng was talking to Lu Zhishen and the others excitedly, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Xuancheng!" ”

The few people who were talking hurriedly turned around, hugged their fists at Wang Yue and said, "Big brother! ”

Wang Yue walked quickly to Xuancheng, patted his arm heavily, looked up and down, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, you are emaciated!" Xuancheng smiled.

Wang Yue glanced at Lu Zhishen and asked with a smile, "Do you two know each other?" Lu Zhishen hugged his fists and said: "The two of us have already met," Xuancheng also said happily: "I didn't expect to come back from this trip, there are actually two more good brothers in the family!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Sitting down together, Wang Yue smiled and said, "Xuanhe and I have acted very smoothly this time, I don't know how your things are doing?" ”

Xuancheng said excitedly: "It's very smooth! Since leaving Dongping, we have traveled all the way north, buying many local souvenirs on the way. More than 20 days later, we entered the territory of Liao. On the one hand, we sell susurrels, and on the other hand, we buy ginseng and other precious medicinal materials. Earned a lot of money in Liao. Then he returned to the south, and along the way he passed through the state and the government, selling medicinal materials in various places, and the business was very good. Originally, the Taoist temple was connected with all the medicinal herb shops in various places, and some of the medicinal herbs we shipped were sold through their herb shops, and some of them were sold to other herb shops. Back in Dongping today, there are still two carts of medicinal herbs left. In fact, these medicinal materials were deliberately left, otherwise they would have been snapped up a long time ago! On this trip, he earned a total of 11,34 taels of silver. Then he took out a booklet and handed it to Wang Yue.

Lu Zhishen patted his bald head and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's only more than 10,000 taels of silver!" Not happy, not happy! If you can grab 100,000 treasures! That's a little bit more enjoyable! ”

The crowd laughed. Wang Yue said angrily: "Then there is not so much money for us to rob!" ”

Lu Zhishen raised his eyebrows, "Who said that!" There are so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the world, there are not many to rob, right? Especially that Cai Jing, every year, the number of gifts given to him by dog officials from all over the country is good, obediently, the Sprinkle family can't come! How much treasure is hidden in his house? I'm afraid it's not like the treasury! If you rob this old boy......" Lu Zhishen said this, his eyes widened and he swallowed his saliva very unvividly.

Wang Yue teased: "The monk is leisurely, his saliva is about to fall out!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lu Zhishen smacked his lips, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's time to rob this old boy!" Robbed him, let's not worry about anything! ”

Lin Chong smiled: "I'm afraid that I can only think about this matter." Is the capital a good place to start? Besides, Cai Jing's mansion is full of guard masters, and grabbing money in that kind of place is tantamount to pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth! It's not good to do, it's hard to do! ”

Xuancheng frowned and said: "The younger brother came all the way and found that the disaster in Mengzhou was even more serious, and there were refugees from Mengzhou on the official roads from south to north. There are also many refugees in Dongping.

Wang Yue said to Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen: "Monk, sect leader, now that there are more homeless people, you can recruit some homeless people for training, and the two of you will be responsible for this recruitment of troops." Where you need to make money, go to the treasury to withdraw it. The two of them clasped their fists and promised. Lin Chong asked, "I don't know how many people to recruit?" ”

"The total number of private soldiers in the villa has been expanded to four thousand." The two nodded.

Wang Yue pondered for a moment and said: "At present, there are many affairs inside and outside the village, and a few reliable housekeepers are needed to help manage them. He glanced at the brothers. Seeing this, Lu Zhishen hurriedly waved his hand vigorously and said, "The Sprinkle family is definitely not a housekeeper!" ”

Wang Yue smiled, "What is the monk anxious about, no one has asked you to be a housekeeper!" "That's good, that's good!"

Wang Yue asked, "Do you have any candidates?" ”

Lu Zhi shook his head without thinking about it. Xuancheng said: "Li Yi's performance is very good, I think he can be a housekeeper and be responsible for our business." Wang Yue nodded, "Is there anything else?" Xuancheng pondered: "Yang Hong and Zhou Qiang in the private soldiers are very shrewd and meticulous, and they are literate, I think they can be allowed to take on the duties of housekeepers." ”

Wang Yue nodded, "What you recommend will definitely not be wrong." What do you think they are suitable for? ”

Xuancheng said: "Yang Hong is very good at farming, and he can be responsible for the acres outside the villa; Zhou Qiang is as meticulous as dust, can manage the sundries of the villa, knows how to count accounts, and can be responsible for cashiers; Ma Dong was a blacksmith before he fled, and he was very good at raising horses, so he could be responsible for ironsmithing and raising horses. ”

Wang Yue smiled happily: "Okay! We are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! That's it, let them be in charge of what they're good at! Xuancheng stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Little brother, I'm going to inform them!" With that, he hurried away.

……

According to Wang Yue's order, Xuancheng opened dozens of porridge farms at the foot of the villa, along the official road to the county government, and also ordered people to build two huge refugee camps on the wasteland opposite the villa. So the refugees finally ended the days of starvation, and finally had a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Tens of thousands of refugees are extremely grateful to Wang Yue, and many of them have removed the original Bodhisattva tablet and offered Wang Yue's tablet to it.

Wang Yue's action to rescue the refugees not only gave the refugees a place to settle down, but also restored the appearance of Dongping to normal. The refugees who originally gathered in the streets and alleys outside the city to beg are gone, the city is clean again, and the people inside and outside the city have lost their fears, and they can't praise Wang Yue enough.

While Xuancheng rescued the refugees, Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong's recruitment operations were also launched simultaneously. Because of Wang Yue's righteous deeds, the refugees were enthusiastic to apply, and the recruitment scene was very hot.
