"Ziyan, don't take me for a god."

Lu Ying doesn't like to give his subordinates too many unrealistic expectations, and knows better that he is not an omnipotent true god, so no matter who praises him for the reincarnation of the true god, he only gives a big truth - I am a human being.

Liu Ziyan hurriedly replied: "Yes." ”

Lu Ying got up and beckoned: "I'm not a good person, but I won't let down a good subordinate like you, come with me." ”

He walked out of the door, and Zhu Dawu came over to use Lu Ying as a mount, and Lu Ying sat on his arm very naturally: "I'll take Ziyan to Ciyu Hall." ”

Zhu Dawu: "Yes." ”

Feng Zheng went to call a carriage, and Lanshan Lanxi followed Lu Ying as a personal guard.

Ji Yezi, another personnel director promoted by Lu Ying after removing Wei's mother, was in charge of the personnel transfer of the female workers under Lu Ying, and had already received the booklet handed over by Liu Ziyan and ran to settle the six hundred girls who were sent to Qiongya Island.

The carriage is a vermilion carriage drawn by four cyan horses, made of sturdy old ship wood, and the body is carved with the lines of Hercules and frog gods in the mythology of the Li family, symbolizing the identity of the descendants of the Lu family.

A soft pillow and thin quilt were placed in the car, and Lu Ying leaned on the soft pillow, rubbing her fingers against the solemn and sacred carriage, remembering the past passed down by Lu Jiakou.

In order to facilitate his rule as a woman, Lu He, the ancestor of the Lu family, pretended to be the descendant of the rain god, but in fact, their family is not a god descendant, but they have inherited some abilities that are sensitive to weather perception through blood.

But now everyone regards him as a true godborn, and people even pin their hopes for the death of the rain god.

On the way, Feng Zheng introduced Liu Ziyan: "The Tzu Yu Tang now takes in more than 3,000 children, 2,500 of whom are in good health, most of them girls, and boys are abandoned because they are handicapped, or they are born unable to hear or lack a hand or foot, which is considered ominous. ”

Liu Ziyan was puzzled: "If it's ominous, how can the Ciyutang also accept it?" ”

Lu Ying said calmly: "I invited a statue of the rain god to be placed at the door of the Ciyu Hall to suppress the ominous, and then let them worship more, and after three years of worship, they will be no different from ordinary people." ”

This is still Qiu Yu's idea, in his words, "Yingying, you have a set of superstitions", Lu Ying is noncommittal about this, as long as the goal can be achieved and he can cultivate people who are loyal to him and can work, Lu Ying does not mind fooling the public with rain □□.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Ying's mouth hooked slightly, Qiu Yu was able to propose to use the name of God to achieve his goal, which shows that he is the same as him in his bones, rebellious to the point of not believing in the existence of God.

But such a person is willing to rob the head incense of Mazu Temple for Lu Ying every year, just to ask him for safety.

Tzu Yu Tong was one of the first houses on the island to be built entirely of concrete, all of which were built to three floors, with 10 rooms on each floor, each living for 10 people, a total of 17 houses, 10 residents, 3 classrooms, 1 canteen, 1 auditorium, and two one-story bungalows as bathhouses, forming a small building complex.

It's more of a school than a "hall".

Qiongshan City did not have the space to build so many houses, so it had to be built in the southern suburbs outside the city, not far from the newly completed largest rain temple on the island, where many of the ashes of the Lu family army were buried, and a stone tablet was erected, which was engraved with their names and birth years.

Qiu Yu gave the school design drawing, Qiu Yu's idea of erecting a monument to the martyrs, Lu Ying paid for it to build it, and one-fifth of the money he earned from going to Nanyang last year was smashed into these two places.

Fortunately, the money spent has paid off, and Lu Ying has not only relied on these two construction sites to get a group of skilled workers who can use new building materials, but also built houses in a decent and grand manner.

If the most beautiful, exquisite, simple and sacred place on Qiongya Island today is the Lu family, the Ciyu Hall is the largest and most spectacular building on Qiongya Island.

The gray three-story square house stood neatly on the ground, Liu Ziyan leaned on the car window, looking at the rain temple complex in the distance, and looked far away: "When I die, bury me there too." ”

Lu Ying picked up the teacup and blew slowly: "Ten-year-old people don't think about where they are buried." ”

Liu Ziyan dared to joke in front of Lu Ying, she smiled and said: "It's not too early, the subordinates will be able to marry in two years, and they will be able to marry after marriage, if they meet a bad family after marrying, they can die in a year and a half, not to mention their subordinates."

Temperament, it is not uncommon to be sunk by the husband's family after marriage. ”

Lu Ying was surprised: "Huxiang has come to such a point? ”

Liu Ziyan corrected: "It's like this everywhere outside Qiongya Island, what's so surprising about this?" It has been this way for so many years. ”

Lu Ying understands that the world is like this, but what he doesn't understand is another point: "Those who are in power should know that the population is the greatest wealth of the dynasty, and the population comes from women, if you want to encourage folk women to give birth, you must let them live, so the court should encourage widows to remarry, and the front is so weak, and there is no ambiguity in this matter. ”

The implication is that the Yu Dynasty court has a bag in the brain, and it doesn't even do anything to encourage the population, I'm afraid that it won't be the brains that have been shaken in the toilet.

Liu Ziyan: ......

If some problems are further investigated, it is either that the emperor is not sober and does not know how to govern better for the country, or that the emperor wants to govern but the local government does not listen to him, no matter how it is calculated, it means that the emperor is incompetent.

Liu Ziyan simply shut up.

The carriage drove to the side of the Ciyu Hall, and Lu Ying asked Feiyu to give her a change of clothes and toiletries, and said indifferently: "I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow." ”

Liu Ziyan hugged the little burden and stared wide-eyed: "Young Master Sun, you put your subordinates here?" ”

Didn't Young Master Sun bring her over to take her to visit the Tzu Yu Hall in person, look forward to the future, encourage her, and promise to take care of the girls she brought?

Lu Ying looked at her a little confused: "Otherwise? ”

This girl shouldn't think that Lu Ying would take her around the campus in person, and say nice things to coax her, stop kidding! Lu Ying only has so much energy, she is tired of working three hours a day, but she has a lot of things at hand, it is already very embarrassing to be able to send her over in person, and then he has to go back to approve the official documents!

Liu Ziyan stood stunned and watched Lu Ying's carriage go away, and after a while, she opened her small baggage and found that in addition to daily necessities, Lu Ying also left her ten taels of silver.

Forget it, it's good that Young Master Sun left the money for him, and he didn't ask her for an IOU, which means that the money doesn't have to be repaid.

Liu Ziyan, who is already very aware of the people's livelihood and suffering, knows that the purchasing power of ten taels of silver is enough for a family of five to live for a year, and she can get ten taels of silver a day when she eats and drinks in Ciyu Hall, so what is there to be dissatisfied with.

The little girl deserves to be a mine boss at a young age, she quickly adjusted her mood, turned around and walked into the Tzu Yu Hall.

Liu Ziyan was sent over alone, and the Yang Langlang who was in charge of this place was a woman from the Li family, who was once the temple of the Rain Temple, and now Lu Ying found that she was kind-hearted, and often took care of the lonely and widowed elderly on the island, and knew a little about medical skills and had the ability to manage, so she personally came to the door and invited people to the Ciyu Hall.

Yang Langlang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Liu, I am the hall master of Ciyu Hall, you can just call me Langlang." ”

Liu Ziyan had a sweet mouth, and when she opened her mouth, she shouted: "Hello Sister Lang, I heard that you are in charge of the stalls of these 3,000 people."

It's not messy, Ziyan has admired your name for a long time, just call me Yanniang. ”

The two Ma Zai, who also belonged to the command of Young Master Sun of Qiongya Island, smiled at each other and entered the door hand in hand.

The roads here are all paved with cement, and the foremen of those road repair teams have all picked the soldiers who are just hot in the army to do it, and cooperate with the road builders brought out by gold and silver to do technical guidance, so that the road is paved smoothly and neatly, and it is much more comfortable to walk than the yellow mud road.

When we got close to the building, we could see that there were fifty or sixty children under the age of eight sitting upright, listening to the teacher's basic arithmetic and literacy in a spacious and bright room with large windows open.

Liu Ziyan thought to herself, not only is the master of the Ciyu Hall here a girl, but there are also many girls among the teachers, perhaps because most of the abandoned children are girls, so Young Master Sun will send those girls from the blind crowd over.

But only here is Young Master Sun, and the girls can find such a decent job.

Yang Langlang said: "Now there are only 1,500 people in the school, because of the limited number of classrooms and classrooms, we can only divide the people into two groups, one group for morning classes and afternoon work, and one group for morning work and afternoon classes. ”

Liu Ziyan asked, "What do they usually do?" ”

Yang Langlang: "Many, those children are not very old, and they can't do heavy work, so Young Master Sun opened a chicken farm, duck farm and fish pond nearby, and they can clean and prepare feed

The manure of the animals not only feeds the fish, but also fertilizes the land, and they have to cut the grass themselves, and the chickens and ducks in the Church also fall into the stomachs of these children when they grow up. ”

These things related to manure and livestock, ordinary officials and ladies are disgusted with their ears when they hear it, but Liu Ziyan listens carefully, as the owner of the Huxiang mine, she also has nearly 1,000 people on hand who rely on the mine to eat, and these nearly 1,000 people also have wives, parents, and children, and learn more about how to govern people's livelihood

Then Yang Langlang snapped his fingers: "By the way, they can also wash clothes, some can also go to the canteen to help, and some of the lonely and widowed old people who have only one son in the family joined the Lu family army and sacrificed, but they also let these children come to the door to clean, laundry, cook, and take care of the elderly, but they all go together, and they must be followed by the teacher, Young Master Sun said, there must be reliable people to follow, and the children and old people can be safe." ”

This is to prevent some ignorant bear children from hurting the elderly, or some ill-intentioned old people from hurting children.

Qiu Yu once praised Lu Ying's patience and the terrible things he encountered when governing the people's livelihood, but he hadn't turned on the killing mode yet, including an old man touching the buttocks of the little girl who came to clean the door and wanted to coax the little girl to take off her skirt.

The children in the church are all abandoned, and it is impossible for everyone to be mentally sound, so it is not uncommon for orphans in the church to fight with each other, and even bear children to bully the weak.

Lu Ying's attitude towards these people is tolerant, after all, the old and the young are young.

Nian remembered that the sons of some old people lost their lives for the Lu family's army, so they only halved the supply within a year, and incidentally posted their affairs to the entrance of the village, naturally, the names of the victims would be hidden from the notice.

There are also bear children who commit crimes must also be criticized and cleaned up, and those who have passed will be expelled directly from the Ciyu Hall.

Liu Ziyan sighed when she heard it: "Sometimes you really have to get started with things, and you know that it is not easy. ”

Yang Langlang: "Yes, there are also those who regret and want to ask the child back after losing the child, Young Master Sun also said that the children must sign a deed with him after entering the Ciyu Hall, and they must serve the Lu family until they are twenty-five years old, but they will not prevent the children from recognizing their parents." ”

This is the same way as when dealing with female workers, no matter how the children and female workers themselves want to deal with their personal affairs, they have to recognize that they have signed the deed, and they are all members of the Lu family before the end of the contract.

It is unkind to say it, but it is actually Lu Ying's protection.

Liu Ziyan thought to herself, she was loyal to Young Master Sun, and it was also for this protection, as long as she got the deed, she could justifiably borrow the name of the Lu family to go out of the gate to work, and in the future, she would have to ask the Lu family about marriage, and others laughed at Liu Ziyan for selling herself to the Lu family as a slave and servant, without the dignity and honor of the official lady, but for Liu Ziyan herself, she held her life in her hands.

Although I still borrowed the power of men...... The fact that she was able to get out of the house was also related to Young Master Sun, first, her father saw that she was still young, so he faintly indulged it, and secondly, Young Master Sun was the only one who could help her father when he fought against the local forces in Huxiang, and his father did not want to offend Young Master Sun.

And her father also had a sweet dream, hinting that Liu Ziyan would get along with Young Master Sun well, and marry directly to the Lu family after getting along, if the Lu family can really build a country in Nanyang, the Liu family can also produce a queen.

Yes, the actions of the Lu family in the past two years have made the well-informed clans in the south realize that they have the ability to build a country in Nanyang, and they have begun to operate Nanyang for the purpose of building a country, but I don't know if it was Lu Kong, Lu Fang, Lu Xuan or Lu Ying who finally ascended the throne, but what the Lu family was plotting was not the Central Plains, but the distant and remote Nanyang, although everyone was surprised in their hearts, they did not mean to stop it.

However, with Miss Liu's understanding of Lu Ying, if Boss Lu had the leisure to care about who she would marry in the future, he would not throw her at the door of Ciyu Hall today......

While speaking, Liu Ziyan walked into the cafeteria and saw a basket of steamers pressed on the stove, emitting the aroma of rice and flour, and the sound of white water vapor and burning firewood stimulated her senses.

Many large pots are boiling with soup that exudes the aroma of meat and bones, several children who help the cook put washed and cut vegetables, kelp, and tofu into it, and some chefs are beating eggs and preparing to steam and steam eggs.

There are no expensive ingredients here, but Liu Ziyan smelled the aroma of the food, looked at the washed shiny plates, and looked at the size of the plates, she said happily: "Everyone here can eat enough, right?" ”

Yang Langlang smiled: "It is said that half the size eats the poor man,

In order to feed these people, Young Master Sun gave a lot of money, but it was definitely possible to eat enough. ”

With the introduction of Yang Langlang, Liu Ziyan knew that the children here not only had to work and learn arithmetic every day, but also ran and drilled with Lu Jiajun every morning, practiced standing, and learned the health boxing method provided by Zhang's family to strengthen their bodies.

Yang Langlang's eyes were full of hope: "In order to repay Young Master Sun, they must grow up here to become talents with both civil and military skills, and when they grow up, they will guard Qiongya Island like those adults in the Lu family army and the county government, generation after generation, endlessly, guarding the peace and prosperity of Qiongya Island." ”

And this is the meaning of Yang Langlang staying here.

At this moment, a ship sailed to the port of Qiongshan.

Luo Zheng, the second uncle of the Luo family, got off the boat and walked onto land with Luo Qiyi, the eldest son of the eldest house, he was a little seasick and his face was very pale.

Luo Qiyi looked at the bustling port and sighed lightly: "To be able to manage an island to such an extent, the Lu family has great talent." ”

Luo Zheng coughed lightly: "Let's go, let's go to the Lu family to hand over the worship post, and then show you the appearance of the Lu family, I heard that as the descendants of the rain god, they are all handsome and tall, and they are not ordinary." ”

Luo Qiyi was silent, Luo Zheng saw the reluctance in his expression, and chuckled: "In front of the Lu family, don't look like this, the family has been looking forward to another queen, no matter whether the Lu family child will ascend the throne in Nanyang or Dajing in the future...... It's all too expensive. ”

"You and Yu Niang's biological mother and my wife are the same mother, I just reminded you that my good eldest brother's newly married stepfamily is not good, whether your sister can catch this good family, it depends on whether God appreciates the face."
