The professionals who were willing to stay had their own jobs, and those who were assigned to the other courtyard were all subordinates who had previously worked in various farms.

Basically, the subordinates in the farm will all farm, so as soon as the Lin family is released, those who can leave choose to leave.

Following the master's family is farming, and living by yourself is also farming, the former is a slave, the latter is good, the difference is so big, everyone will naturally choose the latter.

And those who are willing to stay are always for various reasons, Lin Qingwan has been busy before, and she didn't ask much about it, but now when she sees them, she finds that she has ignored a lot.

This is considered a dereliction of duty in her work, and Lin Qingwan feels a little guilty.

"Who is in charge of them among them?" Lin Qingwan cleaned up her mood and turned her head to ask Chief Steward Zhong.

"It's Fang Datong, he's him." Chief Steward Zhong pointed to a man in front of him and showed it to Lin Qingwan.

The man was a slender man, chopping bushes with a knife, but his left sleeve was empty.

Chief Steward Zhong said in a low voice: "Auntie, these people were all arranged by the old lady and the old man to enter the Lin family, and they are very tolerant of them, and we don't know much about them. I only knew that Fang Datong had the highest military rank before leaving the Northwest Army, so whether he came first or came later, he was very obedient to his words. That's why this group of people also listened to him the most. ”

Lin Qingwan bowed, "You take the eldest lady to rest first, and I'll go see him." ”

Chief Steward Zhong hesitated, Lin Qingwan glanced at him lightly, and Chief Steward Zhong immediately bowed his head in response.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

Lin Qingwan touched her head and said, "It's very chaotic there, you can't even walk steadily, go down to rest first, and my sister-in-law will come to you in a while." ”

Lin Yubin glanced at the potholes and fallen branches on the ground, and then looked at the long skirt on his body, couldn't help pursing his lips, and bowed back.

She walked out of the distance and couldn't help muttering: "Yingyan, when you go back, make me two sets of clothes like my aunt." ”

Ying Yan held back a smile and nodded, "The slave will do it as soon as she goes back." ”

Lin Qingwan took Bai Mei and Bai Feng to find Fang Datong, and when the people who were working saw her, they stopped their movements and saluted her, Lin Qingwan hurriedly stretched out her hand and said, "Everyone, don't be polite, I'm just here to see what you should do and what to do." ”

Fang Datong turned his head when he heard the movement, and saw that it was Lin Qingwan who hurriedly stopped his movements and walked over to salute, "Grandma." ”

"Uncle Fang, don't be polite," Lin Qingwan helped him up with both hands, "Uncle Fang, let's talk." ”

Fang Datong looked at Lin Qingwan, who was still young, and suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart, he nodded, and took the lead to walk to the secluded place next to him.

Lin Qingwan waved her hand to let Bai Mei and Bai Feng stop, and followed Fang Datong to the side.

Fang Datong chose a slightly higher place, where he could take in all the scenes in the field, but not be disturbed by the noise below.

Lin Qingwan was impressed in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Fang was a scout in the army before?" ”

Fang Datong nodded, thinking that Lin Qingwan learned from Lin Jiang, and his identity was not a secret, so he said directly: "The little one used to be a scout in the vanguard camp of the army. ”

"These twenty-eight households are all from the army?"

Fang Datong nodded, pointed to the people below and introduced her one by one, "That's Sun Eryuan, a native of Qizhou, his right foot was injured, so he was a little lame, and he couldn't do it in the army, there were five brothers in the family, just like that, he was hungry when he went back, so he came to take refuge in the master." Now he is also married to a daughter-in-law, and has two sons and a daughter......"

"That's Qian Rui's family, Qian Rui died in battle, there is no money in the treasury, and she can't give a full pension, so she got two taels of silver, but there are in-laws and two children, and the two taels of silver are not enough to buy a coffin for Qian Rui, and the brothers knew about it and pointed her to join the master, so she starved to death in the Lin family......"

"That's Aunt Liu, her son Liu Gui has both legs, that will pursue the Liao army, who expected the Liao army to set up an ambush, the stone rolled down from the mountain and hit his leg, the military doctor sawed his leg in order to save him, people are alive, but how can they live in this world without legs?" Fang Datong said coldly: "I happened to meet the general patrolling the camp, so I sent him and a few other disabled soldiers to the Lin family, and Aunt Liu came by herself later." ”

Lin Qingwan kept in mind the people Fang Datong had pointed out, a person represents a family, and a family is a tragedy and a hope.

She simply sat cross-legged on the grass and motioned for Fang Datong to sit down as well, and the two of them spoke slowly.

Fang Datong glanced at the dirt that was still obvious despite the withered grass, and sat down silently. This is different from the eldest daughter in his cognition, she is worthy of being Lin Gong's sister, that's it...... Eclectic.

Fang Datong introduced all the twenty-eight households, and also pointed to the people below to give Lin Qingwan a detailed introduction one by one, he was selfish, and he hoped that she could keep them.

He vaguely knew that the Lin family was no longer in the past, and the chief steward of Zhong had also leaked his mouth, and the Lin family didn't have much money now.

But he knew that once these people left the Lin family, it would be the end of the family's ruin.

Those who can leave have already left when the Lin family issued the "Good Order", and those who have not left now are holding on to that glimmer of hope.

"After so many years, only twenty-eight people have come to take refuge?" Lin Qingwan wondered, according to Fang Datong's account, the Northwest Army has people who come to take refuge almost every year, how can there be only twenty-eight households?

Fang Datong lowered his eyes and said, "When the Lin family was good, some people chose to leave. ”

Lin Qingwan instantly understood, "Are they afraid of dragging down the Lin family?" ”

Fang Datong was silent.

Lin Qingwan smiled confidently: "Don't worry about this, although the Lin family donated most of the family property, it is not so weak, not to mention, you are all working and working hard for the Lin family, aren't you?" ”

Fang Datong raised his head in surprise, Lin Qingwan winked at him mischievously and said, "Uncle Fang, the tiger father has no dog daughter, not to mention that I still have a tiger brother, if you can still contact them, let them come back, my Lin family welcomes them at any time." ”

He also said: "As for the Northwest Army, if there are still those who need to defect, they can still come over, although my Lin family is different from the past, but it is still possible to arrange a few people, and I also believe that they can not only endure what ordinary people can't, but also naturally can do what ordinary people can't do when they are disabled." ”

What is Lin Qingwan lacking most now?

O man!

Don't look down on people with disabilities, sometimes people with disabilities are more capable than able-bodied people, just look at the person next to her.

Lin Qingwan's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the endless field in front of her and said, "Uncle Fang, I plan to open up all these fields, in addition to planting grain, I also plant fruit trees, flowers, and mulberry trees, and by the way, dig a few ponds." ”

"Fertilizing, pulling weeds, removing insects, watering, picking fruits, picking mulberry leaves, raising silkworms, raising fish, so many things, there is always one thing they can do, so are they afraid that they will not find a job to do here?"

"Grandma!" Fang Datong got up and knelt in front of Lin Qingwan, kowtowed, and said, "All the soldiers of the Northwest Army of the Datong generation have thanked my aunt and grandmother. ”

"Hurry up," Lin Qingwan hurriedly supported the person, "You guys defend the country and even give up your life for us, I just did such a small thing, aren't you ashamed of me when you kneel me now?" ”

Fang Datong's eyes were slightly red, and he got up and said, "When soldiers eat food and receive salaries, we are not as good as my aunt and grandmother thought." ”

But in this era, if it weren't for the country's order, who would be a soldier, except for a very small number of people who took the initiative to join the army, the rest of them were conscripted for military service, and when they fought on the battlefield, they didn't think about their homeland in the rear?

Lin Qingwan saw that his eyes were red, so she didn't continue the topic, but turned to the direction of the other courtyard and said, "Now you are all crowded in Changfu Village?" ”

"Yes, the elderly, women and children under the age of seven are temporarily living in another courtyard."

Although the courtyard is large, the space left for the next person is limited, and it is impossible to live in 28 households, so now they have built two large shops in Changfu Village to live.

The elderly, women and children lived in the lower room of the back cover of the courtyard.

Lin Qingwan bowed slightly, and said: "But you can't keep doing this, you still have to build a house, while the first month is not out and the farm work is not busy, everyone will build the house." ”

Lin Qingwan found a stick from the side, drew on the ground, and said, "I plan to let you build a house along the other courtyard, so that you can take care of each other." ”

Lin Qingwan drew a circle in a place not far from the official road, and then drew a circle diagonally opposite, and drew the circle along the road to Changfu Village, and nodded: "Build a house in these places, four households are a neighbor, and there is enough land left on the left and right, and if there are still people to run to it, then build another house along the way." ”

In this way, the old and the new alternate, the new can be integrated faster, and the courtyard is surrounded in the middle, which is just in the form of an arch guard, and if there is a disaster like Geng Wunian, they can also have time to react.

Fang Datong is a scout, he knows more than Lin Qingwan, he thought for a moment, took the branch and adjusted the position and said: "It's better to build it this way, it's better to build another house at the turn of the official road into the main road, whether it's a teahouse, or a guest house to rest, and then set up a lookout upstairs, the four fields are empty, and the enemy can't hide it from any direction." ”

Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said, "Where did Lang Lang Qiankun come from?" ”

Fang Datong's face flushed slightly, "It's that I'm thinking too much." ”

"But the idea of making a teahouse is very good, there are still several miles from here to the West City Gate, just for the passing merchants to rest, when the time comes, build a second floor, specifically sell some food, maybe the business is good."

Fang Datong: ...... Who in the middle of nowhere eats here? It's not for the sake of being a lookout.

However, this reason is used well, and whether the teahouse makes money or not is not in his consideration.

Lin Qingwan didn't want the teahouse to make money, so she built a house anyway and left someone to guard it there.

After the matter was discussed, Lin Qingwan clapped her hands and got up, "Then it's decided, I'll go back and let Zhong Da Steward find someone to build a house, you let them each choose a place to settle down, report their names, and if they have any requirements, they can also mention, if they can be met, I will order them to go down." ”

Fang Datong responded, and happily sent Lin Qingwan out, "Grandma, then are we still helping in the field, or are we going to build a house?" ”

Lin Qingwan thought for a while and said: "You can also go and help, but you still focus on the fields, spring plowing is imminent, you must try to open enough fields this year, and the land that was cleaned up last year is not enough." ”
