Xu Kuang hurriedly stood up and said to the entourage beside him:

"You take eight people, plus ...... Chen Xiaobao. Chen Xiaobao, you take some people, follow him, and pick up the villagers back, by the way, set up a carriage, don't let the old people suffer. ”。

When Chen Xiaobao heard this, he cried profusely, but Chen Xiaohu was thoughtful.

Chen Xiaolong was a little at a loss, but when he saw Xu Kuang beckoning him to sit down, he didn't dare to slack off and sat down.

"I think you are quite responsible, I am ready to let you manage this mine, and your monthly food can be twice as high as that of others."

Chen Xiaolong was excited, and he was about to stand up again, but he saw Xu Kuang looking at Chen Xiaohu.

"My lord, this is my younger brother Xiaohu, he is smart when he is young.".

"I can see it, you come with me, go back to the territory, I'm going to form a land protection team, I haven't thought of a name yet, you can be the deputy captain when you come, let the little leopard come under your command and be the team leader.。

Chen Xiaohu was not arrogant or impatient, and bowed to Xu Kuang.

"As for the folks you brought, those who want to mine will stay and mine, and those who don't want to mine will go to farming, there is always something you can do."

When the others heard this, they were relieved.

They don't worry about being bullied, they worry that they don't have their own work, they can't pay off their debts, they can't earn food.

Xu Kuang helped them solve these problems, and they dared to sell their lives to Xu Kuang.

Half a day later, Chen Xiaolong and his family finally arrived, Xu Kuang looked at the hundreds of people in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.

Xu Kuang looked at the woman in front of him, his Adam's apple shook with difficulty, and asked:

"Xiaolong, this is ......."

"You are the lord, I am the mother of the little dragon, the little tiger and the little leopard, my three children are not sensible, so I bothered you."

"No, no, no, don't talk about that, old lady, the three of them are all good, I'm ready to reuse them, of course, and you, I heard you can make iron?".

The woman laughed:

"There's no way, the iron ore can't be sold at a high price, so I just think about it, and the smelted iron is not a good iron ......."

Xu Kuang caught a glimpse of the bubbles on the old woman's arm, and his nose couldn't help but be sour, how could he not imagine what the situation was, a woman, her husband died early, she could only make herself strong and raise her three children.

"Haven't asked for the lady's name yet?".

"What's the name, my name is Huang Xiumei, if you don't dislike it, just call me Lao Huang."

"Okay, I'll call you Huang Lao in the future.".

Xu Kuang gave Huang Xiumei a "high salary" of 240 catties of grain a month, which made everyone who could only receive 40 catties of grain every month envious.

Huang Xiumei was so excited that she wanted to take her three sons and two daughters to Xu Kuang, Xu Kuang wanted to reach out and pull it, Huang Xiumei flicked it casually, and Xu Kuang flew out directly.

Chen Xiaolong said to Huang Xiumei with a little reproach:

"Mother, you are not light or heavy."

Huang Xiumei scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly:

"My lord, I ...... I didn't mean to. ”。

Xu Kuang got up from the ground and squeezed out a smile with a pale face:

"It's okay, don't be in a hurry to start work, everyone will go back with me to make a booklet first, and after registering your information, we will plan a place, and then we will start work."

……

Ryan looked at the more than 100 people brought back by Xu Kuang, sighed, and asked:

"Young Master, we need more food."

Xu Kuang smiled, and he asked:

"Is there any news from Uncle Wayne?".

Ryan sighed and didn't answer Xu Kuang.

……

Hulu Town

Baron Chris looked at the well-made gilt chiming clock in front of him, wound it up again, and watched the birds fly out.

Baron Wayne said with some distress:

"Okay, you've seen it twelve times, it's time to put it down."

Baron Chris was reluctant to put the clock back on the table, and he asked:

"Wayne, just tell me where you got it from, and I'd like to buy one too."

Wayne looked at Baron Chris's anxious appearance, reached out and picked up the teacup from the table, and carefully felt the aroma of the tea:

"You want to buy it too? How much can you contribute? ”。

Baron Chris chuckled in his heart, and he stretched out a finger and asked tentatively:

"A hundred gold coins?".

Wayne didn't even lift his eyelids and continued to drink his tea.

"What two hundred?".

"Three hundred?".

Baron Chris's heart was crossed, and his voice trembled a little:

"Six hundred! No matter how high I am, I don't want it. ”。

Wayne looked up and thought to himself, "The old guy is quite rich, and he is even higher than my psychological price." ”。

But this is what he said to Baron Chris:

"You...... Alas...... I consulted with my nephew and asked him to make one for you. ”。

When Chris heard this, his heart was surprised, and he asked:

"Your nephew is ......".

"Alchemy priest, brave level."

"Oh oh oh, long and long, by the way, can you ask your nephew to make this clock a little more artistic?"

"Artistic?".

"It's just more humanistic beauty ......."

"Humanistic beauty?".

"It's like Venus and the three goddesses...... That's it. ”。

Wayne's old face turned red, and he subconsciously wanted to reprimand Chris, but when it came to his mouth, it became:

"Then you have to add money, how much effort does it take to make a bird, how much effort does it take to make a bird like that, what do you say?"

When Chris heard that there was a play, he hurriedly said:

"Yes, yes, you say how much to add.".

"At least 100 gold coins for man-hours."

"Good, good."

Wayne:......

After Wayne saw Baron Chris away, he called the butler and said:

"Swift Horse sent this letter to Mushroom Ridge, along with these gold coins."

The old butler nodded, and turned to leave.

……

"Show the old butler tea!" Xu Kuang said to Ryan: "Grandpa Ryan, you accompany the old housekeeper first, arrange a place for him to live, I will hurry up to work tonight, and I will make it tomorrow." ”。

When the old housekeeper heard Xu Kuang's words, he was shocked and asked:

"Young master, can you really make it tomorrow?".

Xu Kuang nodded, and he said to the old housekeeper:

"If you make one like Uncle Wayne, you can make it today, but it takes a little time to make that look."

When the old housekeeper heard this, he arched his hand to Xu Kuang:

"Then it's going to be troublesome young master.".

"Don't bother, Grandpa Ryan will help me take care of the old housekeeper.".

Xu Kuang not only saw Wayne's face, but also the face of the four hundred gold coins sent by Wayne.

The next morning, Xu Kuang handed over the clock to the old butler, wound it up, and after a while, a chic "cuckoo-like cuckoo" danced and flew out.

"Old butler, this bell will be handed over to you."

The old butler nodded heavily and left with the guards.

Xu Kuang said to Ryan:

"Inform Huang Lao and them, tomorrow is the festival, I will sacrifice to the sky, and the day after tomorrow will start to build a steel-making furnace."
