After a drizzle, the ground was wet.

On the branches and leaves of the grass and trees, there are condensed water droplets, which are crystal clear.

Fang Yue stood in the courtyard, looking at the clear sky outside.

Half a month has passed since the Haikou incident, and the entire county seat of Ping'an County, including the surrounding towns and villages, has become a dead field.

No one took care of this area, and even the imperial court ignored it, as if Ping'an County did not exist.

Fishhead has become an oasis in the desert, an island in the barren sea, and it still retains vitality in this lifeless region.

Most of those who survived fled to other counties, and a small number fled to Yutou Town.

A patrol of Minzhuang armed with spears passed by the gate of Fang Yueyuan and stopped.

"Fang Xiu is early."

"Everyone, it's been a long time."

Fang Yue waved his hand and motioned for them to continue patrolling.

This is the town of Yutou Town, after the Haikou incident, the original order was destroyed, the court pretended to be deaf and dumb, and no one paid attention to Yutou Town, and it basically became an independent small kingdom.

Finance, taxation, civil affairs, armed forces, and many other aspects have begun to be autonomous.

This patrol team in the town is selected from among the people, supported by the town's finances, and is specifically responsible for the security of the town.

Soon after the patrol left, Xing'er and Li Yilan came in from outside.

"Young Master." Apricot shouted.

Fang Yue nodded at her, and then asked Li Yulan, who came with her, "Lady Li, how is the work of the orphanage?" Are you still used to it? ”

Li Yilan showed a smile on her face and said, "The children are quite sensible, and they are very happy with them, but they are ......."

At this, she sighed.

The orphanage is an orphanage led by Fang Yue and set up in the town to adopt the orphans of the entire Ping'an County who lost their parents in the Haikou incident.

The children are experiencing such a big change, and it is impossible to come out of the shadows in a short period of time, which is why Li Yilan sighed.

Li Yilan stopped talking, this question can only be washed by time, she said: "Fang Xiucai, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Oh." Fang Yue was a little curious, as far as he knew, Li Yilan had a very strong personality, and she usually wouldn't ask for help.

Her husband was bitten to death by wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and when he just passed away, he worked hard in a thousand ways, and he didn't see her begging for help.

"But what are the difficulties?"

"It's not that difficult, it's just ......"

Xing'er on the side saw Li Yilan spitting and spitting, so she said for her, "Sister Zhilan has to work in the orphanage in the town, and she has to take care of her mother-in-law at home, so she wants to build a house near the orphanage and let her mother-in-law move over to make it easier to take care of." ”

Li Yilan said embarrassedly: "I have prepared the silver taels to build the house, but the ownership of the nearby land is more complicated, so I want to ask you for a favor."

Her idea is to build a small house, in this era, self-built houses, the silver tael does not cost much, the compensation she got last time, the money is quite generous, but the land to build the house is more troublesome.

There are about 100 orphans in the county who have been adopted by the orphanage, and they are currently temporarily arranged in the east of the town.

Because it was the place where the pirates first invaded, many people died and some houses were vacated.

But after all, it is not possible to live there for a long time, and it is not convenient for unified management, the new orphanage is under construction, and the site is at the foot of a mountain.

It's more secluded, with a large clearing and not too far from the town centre.

Li Yilan wanted to build a house to take her mother-in-law to live in, referring to the vicinity of the newly built orphanage.

The vacant land there is unowned, but it is not something that can be built on top of it.

Fang Yue thought for a while and said, "It turns out that this is the case, you can rest assured, when the house over there is built, the house will be allocated to you employees who work in the orphanage, and you don't need to build the house yourself."

"Huh?" Li Yilan was a little surprised, "This, it's not good, I originally wanted to go to the orphanage to help, and the town also paid me a salary, if I give the house again, I ......"

Fang Yue smiled: "This is not for you alone, you can't refuse for others, right?" When the orphanage was designed, it was prepared to arrange accommodation for the staff in the home. ”

Li Yilan made a big red face, since it is an arranged benefit, then it can't be refused, otherwise what should the other ladies who work in the orphanage think.

There are hundreds of children in the orphanage, plus Li Yilan, but six people are arranged to take care of them.

After Li Yilan left, Xing'er looked at Fang Yue with a pair of bright eyes and said, "Young Master, you are really a good person."

"Huh?" Fang Yue always felt that this sound familiar, and if he didn't bother with other meanings, he should take it as a compliment.

"Alright, I know I'm a good person. It's almost noon, you go to prepare two dishes, and there will be guests coming later. ”

"Okay." Apricot ran away as fast as she could.

……

Four people came at noon, Ren Junlin, Qian Dagui, Fang Baoliang, and Deng Hetong, the mayor of Yutou Town.

Deng Hetong was not among Fang Yue's estimated guests, so Fang Yue asked him first, "Mayor Deng, don't you know what to do with me?"

Deng Hetong accompanied him and said, "Young Master Fang, in the Tanah Lot Temple on the east side of the town, a statue of the Poseidon has been re-molded. In the afternoon, the seal will be unveiled, and I want to invite Fang Gongzi to come over to watch the ceremony. ”

Fang Yue frowned, and Deng Hetong's heart suddenly tightened.

Qian Dagui helped his brother-in-law speak, "Fang Xiucai, it's like this, the original statue of the sea god in the Sea God Temple was damaged on the day of the invasion of the sea robbers. He Tonghe asked the master craftsman to rebuild it out of clay, and now the people in the town are uneasy, and they need this to calm people's hearts. ”

Deng Hetong nodded like a shrimp and said: "Yes, yes, that's my idea, Fang Gongzi is now the Dinghai Divine Needle of our Yutou Town, a giant in the sky, if he can appear in the afternoon, it will be more appeasive."

Fang Yue frowned and thought about it, these words made sense, after such a big turmoil and the death of so many people, people's hearts were indeed in chaos, and they couldn't live in panic.

There are demons and monsters in this world, and it is feasible to use clay and wood carved gods to calm people's hearts.

"Okay, I'll go over if I'm free in the afternoon."

Hearing Fang Yue's promise, Deng Hetong immediately smiled, overjoyed.

Now in the independent small kingdom of Yutou Town, Fang Yue's words are the most weighty.

Although Deng Hetong still has the name of a town mayor, he is like a puppet and has no real power.

After the matter was finished, Deng Hetong was about to leave, Fang Yue said: "It's all here, just stay and have a meal together."

"Okay, okay." Deng Hetong hurriedly agreed.

Fang Yue turned to Fang Baoliang, who was silent on the side, and said, "You supervise the craftsmen over there to fire the glass, can you burn the finished product?"

Fang Baoliang didn't speak, took out a box from his arms, and opened it carefully, and there was a piece of transparent glass inside.

Fang Yue took the box and held the glass in his hand to watch.

Several other people also gathered around, looking at the glass in Fang Yue's hand in amazement, under the sun, there was a crystal light.

"What kind of glass is this, why is it so transparent, without a trace of variegation?" Qian Dagui looked curious.

Ren Junlin's face was full of excitement, and he said, "Fang Yue, is this the kind of glass made of sand you said?" Magical! It's amazing! ”

In fact, what he thought in his heart was: "Valuable, very valuable!"
