Traveling through ancient times.

Chapter 89: Overwhelming wealth

The next day was the second day of the Lunar New Year. Unexpectedly, early in the morning, the dam outside the village was crowded with people with their families.

Fortunately, Liao Qi and the servants were there to maintain order, so with more than 200 people, it didn't look too chaotic.

Upon asking, we found out that these people were tenant farmers and farmhands from the villages and towns near Yunshan. They had fallen out with the landlords and had come here specifically to seek refuge with the head of the Jiang family.

In fact, they had wavered in the last wave of tenants breaking away from landlords, but ultimately they were too hesitant to break with the landlords who were oppressing them.

Then they saw that the previous batch of farmhands like themselves lived so well in Yunshan Farm after leaving the landlord's house, while their compromise with the landlord was only met with even more severe exploitation from the landlord, so they gritted their teeth and followed along.

If I can’t find a job or a place to live here when I leave this time.

When they go back again, one can imagine what fate will await them.

But there are too many people coming this time, and all the job positions in the village are currently full.

So Yunxin, Yucui and others all had a headache.

Besides, there are more than 200 people coming here, more than half of them are the elderly, the weak, women and children. What should we do?

They turned their eyes to the head of the household.

Hundreds of eyes in the courtyard were also looking at the head of the Jiang family.

At this moment, her words could determine the fate of these people, even their life or death.

But in Jiang Yizhou's heart, she did not hesitate at all.

These people must be taken in!

In her eyes, these people are all meritorious, and only with more merit can she exchange for more things.

Jiang Yizhou looked at these ragged, skinny people with dull eyes, and he could imagine that they were once just tools of the landlords, living just to survive.

Therefore, in addition to doing good deeds, she felt from the bottom of her heart that she should also use her abilities to do something for the people at the bottom of the world.

Amid the expectation of the crowd, Jiang Yizhou said the first sentence with a choked voice but with great determination: "Stay, everyone here, stay!"

For a moment, the whole field was silent. Then, someone broke the silence and a cry was heard.

These people have been suppressed for too long and waited for too long. Their hearts, which have been hanging in the air, finally settle down at this moment.

The head of the Jiang family is willing to take them in.

Then, a huge voice of gratitude rang out over the field.

At this moment, Jiang Yizhou's consciousness has been occupied by the "ding ding ding" sound coming from his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Successfully rescue the poor and desperate, reward 100 merits]

[…Reward Merit 100]

【...100】

Twenty-one thousand three hundred merits have been obtained, and Jiang Yizhou's arrangements have been quickly implemented:

She asked Yunxin to quickly register these people, a total of more than 50 households.

Registration is based on households, gender, age, whether or not there are any special skills, etc.

For example, some people with carpentry skills entered the carpentry workshop as apprentices, and those who knew some bricklaying joined Yucui's engineering team.

Pottery workshops and cement workshops can also add some manpower for transportation, as well as the pre-treatment workshops of food processing workshops, etc.

Registration has been completed and the work that can be arranged has been arranged.

Next is the all-important issue of accommodation.

Jiang Yizhou asked people to tidy up the dormitories on the saline-alkali land. Previously, when the canals were being built, there were often dozens of workers, so two rows of stone houses were built, with a total of more than 20 rooms.

Originally two or three people lived in one room, but now the situation is special.

We had no choice but to convert these rooms into large bunk beds with a kang underneath.

Then men and women were temporarily separated, and each room could accommodate about ten people, serving as a temporary shelter for these people.

As for the dozens of workers who had lived there before, they have settled down in the farm and readjusted their work in view of the current situation.

……

After all the arrangements were made, hundreds of young and strong male and female laborers were integrated into the farm.

The remaining children, aged around six to twelve, were sent to Yunshan Academy, where they were taught literacy, arithmetic, etiquette, etc.

As for the elderly, if they are willing, they can learn straw weaving from other elderly people in the village.

A large number of bags of cement are needed to produce cement every day, and some of them are produced by these people.

In a word, as long as they are willing to do it, Jiang Yizhou will pay them corresponding compensation.

As for renting land to them, Jiang Yizhou currently does not have that many suitable ones.

However, for these people who were desperate, they were not kicked out by the head of the Jiang family and were given jobs.

Almost every household has one or two people who have jobs, and with the wages here, at least they don't have to go hungry.

Therefore, they are not in a hurry about the land issue. They just need to wait patiently for the arrangements made by the head of the Jiang family.

As for the subsequent houses, just like before, they can ask the construction team to help them build them at zero interest, and then deduct the money from their wages later.

Jiang Yizhou took two days to arrange all these two hundred people.

The New Year has not yet ended, and the entire Yunshan Farm has once again entered into a period of busy construction.

This time more houses need to be built, as well as a lot of water conservancy, roads and other infrastructure.

Every day, the farms poured money and food into the farm.

In the eyes of many people, the head of the Jiang family is a typical ignorant woman in the harem.

As soon as I saw these people were pitiful, I took them in. These were lowly mud-walkers. Even if they had some strength, it was very limited. How much value could they create?

Especially the elderly and children, lending them food without interest?

This is simply a bottomless pit, isn't it? What can these people pay back?

They were very pessimistic about the Jiang family leader's move to take in so many people at once, and had even prepared melon seeds and tea, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

You have to know that once she takes these people in and ends up not being able to support them, they will definitely bite her back.

By the time……

Ha ha.

...Jiang Yizhou finally caught this wave of wealth that fell from the sky.

Then, on time, he brought a group of people back to Jiang's house without any warning!

Jiang Yizhou left Yucui and Yunxin at the farm to take charge of the situation.

She was surrounded by Wei Ke, three maids hired from Yunshan, four servants, and two serving girls, Yuxiu and Yuxiang, who had studied at Yunshan Academy.

Liao Qi also brought with him a dozen strong servants selected from Yunshan.

The group returned to Jiang's residence so suddenly, causing panic in the entire residence.

When they saw the murderous crowd, their joy at the New Year instantly turned into fear, and they instinctively blocked the door.

Wow, it’s been less than two years, and these people actually openly locked her, the real head of the Jiang family, out?

Jiang Yizhou directly asked someone to knock on the door.

The loud noise immediately attracted the surrounding neighbors to watch the fun.

People pointed at this place and talked about it: "Hey, didn't they say that the son-in-law divorced her and sent her to the manor? Why did she come back suddenly?"

"Tsk, the owner of this house has changed a long time ago. Why didn't you come back earlier? What's the point of coming back now?"

"But I see there's quite a big commotion, why are the people inside quiet?"

"Movement? What kind of movement is there? We are all blocked inside."
