In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

Luo Xi had the cattle taken back and fined each of the cattle keepers 100 coins as a warning.

After that, he didn't mention the matter again and went to the river with Zhou Cang.

At this time, the farm workers were drawing water from the river to irrigate the fields. Cows pulled the water wheels in a long dragon, which was quite spectacular. The seeds that had been planted would not germinate without water.

Therefore, Luo Xi had people cut off the river where there was still some water flowing and built a dam early on. There was no village downstream anyway, so it would be a waste if the water continued to flow.

Besides, there wasn't much water flowing down to begin with. The reason why it seemed like so much now was because of the river water that Luo Xi received last time.

A whole river can be used for a long time.

After walking around the river, I went to the fields and found that there were many more farmhands. The benefits of this were obvious. Most of the wheat had been planted.

"You are quite fast," she said.

Zhou Cang's face was full of red: "It's all thanks to the big boss. Now everyone can have enough food every day, and naturally have the energy to work."

"Not only that, the farmhands also told their relatives and friends about the benefits of this place, so people from nearby all came to our place."

"Nowadays, there are more and more people..."

"It's okay." Luo Xi was still worried that there were not enough people: "After planting the wheat, we will open up the land on the mountain, plant more vegetables, and then catch some chickens, ducks and geese."

"We can't just eat grain without vegetables, and we can't eat without meat, otherwise we won't have the strength to do anything."

"Yes, Boss." Zhou Cang agreed, but his face did not look very good and he seemed a little embarrassed.

Luo Xi glanced over curiously: "What's the matter? Just tell me if you have something to say."

"That's right, that's right..." Zhou Cang's face flushed red, and he stuttered for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying ashamedly: "I am not very knowledgeable and it's a bit difficult for me to manage so many people at once."

He was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head.

He should have been happy to have the boss's trust, but he was just a small manager among the farmhands before, and now so many people have joined in.

There were more and more things to do, and he didn't understand many of them. It was really a bit too much for him.

Luo Xi secretly sighed and said it was a pity. It seemed that Zhou Cang's ability was indeed limited. She had thought that if he was given some opportunities to gain experience, he might slowly be able to take on greater responsibilities.

If it were Wei Qing, thinking of that weak scholar who always did things in an orderly manner...

Hey, it’s better to hope for Chuzhe than for him. He is such a stubborn person, maybe he has been dragged out by the emperor and beheaded by him now.

The same goes for Chu Zhe. The news has been spread for so long, and I have left secret codes everywhere, but he hasn't come back. As the president's special assistant before the end of the world, why is he a little slow this time? Is he really in trouble?

As for now, I have no choice but to do it myself.

"Well, you just choose a few that you can do, and I will take care of the rest," Luo Xi said.

Zhou Cang hadn't heard Luo Xi speak for a long time, and thought that the boss was going to blame him, but he didn't expect Luo Xi to just say this. He was stunned for a moment.

"Thank you for your understanding, Boss." He was very grateful.

In the end, Zhou Cang only chose to focus on the farm affairs and even pushed aside the issue of recruiting workers, let alone placing long-term laborers.

This is not easy. Luo Xi waved his hand and said, "Come on, line up, one by one, and write down your name, age, and specialties."

Isn’t it just recruitment? It’s almost the same in ancient times and modern times.

The people were dumbfounded.

"Big, big boss, little, little people can't read..."

Everyone nodded timidly.

Luo Xi: "..."

"If anyone can read, please stand up. You will be in charge of the registration from now on. You can start working directly without having to farm. In addition to food, your wages will also include an extra ounce of silver."

Although many people at the scene were excited, no one stood up.

Luo Xi really didn't know what to say now: "No way, there are so many of you, but not a single one can read?"

Was it really that difficult to study in ancient times?

There are hundreds of people here.

"Puchi——" Rong Bai couldn't help laughing: "Boss, you'd better not waste your energy. Studying is not an easy thing, and they are just ordinary people."

He originally wanted to say that he would do it himself. This was a good opportunity to take care of more things. Is the third in command far away?

But when he thought about the fact that Gu Heizi couldn't read a single word, he had to shut up in frustration.

"Is that true?" Luo Xi didn't believe it and asked the knowledgeable Jiuxian standing beside him.

"They are just too lazy. No one in the Red Mansion is illiterate." Jiuxian said as a matter of course.

"They all know how to read." Luo Xi's eyes lit up.

Jiuxian immediately had a bad feeling, and sure enough, the next moment he heard Luo Xi say, "Come on, come on, register them."

"I only know how to kill people." Jiuxian was emitting cold air and the people avoided him, let alone coming to register.

Luo Xi was silent for a moment.

Just when he was about to ask him to call a few men to help, a group of people came over from a distance, led by a young man who looked like a scholar.

These were the two people who had heard people talking on the roadside not long ago and wanted to hide from the limelight.

"Master Luo, I wonder if I can do this job?" The speaker was a scholar holding a feather fan.

Rong Bai rolled his eyes secretly: What a pretentious guy! A feather fan is not as cool as a folding fan.

Luo Xi looked up and saw that there were more than ten people in the group. Except for the scholar, the others all had fierce faces and did not look like ordinary people.

"Okay, but do you really want to do this kind of writing and record-keeping work?" She asked the big men behind her.

The handsome man who looked like a leader at the head laughed loudly: "Look at what the boss said, we are certainly not the ones, only Mr. Yin and the others can."

He pointed at the people behind him and said, "We prefer fighting and killing."

"I heard that the Luo clan is recruiting heroes from all walks of life. I wonder if we are lucky enough to join your clan?"

Luo Xi smiled and said, "Of course I welcome it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spread such news."

"Gu Heizi, take the others to the hall first, and we'll talk there."

"Master Luo is indeed generous." Several people bowed to Luo Xi and followed Rong Bai.

Luo Xi fell last and made a quick gesture to Jiuxian.

Jiuxian nodded slightly to show that he understood.

There is still a long distance from the intersection to the lobby of the villa. During this period, Luo Xi chatted with them about this and that. By the time they sat down in the lobby, Luo Xi already knew most of their basic origins.

These people were originally outlaws who had become bandits. Recently, because they could not stand the county magistrate's actions, they planned to kill him and be done with it. However, they failed and were chased instead, so they fled.

While on the way, I happened to hear the news released by Luo Xi, so I came over.

"You are quite honest." Luo Xi took out the message that Jiuxian had just sent over and waved it towards them. On it was the details of this group of people, written clearly.

The scholar Yin Li and the leader Xiao Yi broke out in cold sweats: This is worthy of being the Red Mansion, in such a short period of time, their entire background has been thoroughly investigated.

Not only the two of them were sweating coldly, but also Rong Bai who was standing beside them.

Wouldn't he have been exposed earlier?

It doesn't make sense that they can be found but not me.

My heart was suddenly in turmoil.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh." Yin Li smiled bitterly: "We had no choice, but don't worry."

"The county magistrate only had time to glance at us twice, and he couldn't even see our appearance clearly, let alone our names. He definitely wouldn't recognize us unless they saw us face to face."

"We ran out, firstly to be on the safe side, and secondly to try our luck. They say heroes emerge in troubled times, and we... hehe"
