The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

According to the rules here, once they arrive at the new master's house, they can no longer use their previous names, and Lan Ning and others have to give them new names.

This was really painful for Lan Ning, who was not good at naming.

Grandma Lan and Meng Anran didn’t even know many characters, let alone names.

During the day, he actively came up with several names, such as plum, chrysanthemum, orchid, lotus, anyway, they were named after various flowers, so Lan Ning decisively passed.

This name is not as good as the one he chose himself. Xiao Li, Xiao Liu, or Xiao Wu are all better than the names he chose.

So this task was given to Xiao Yao again, because he was the most educated person in the family.

Xiao Yao thought carefully and felt that since they had come to this family, they would become servants of this family and must be given the surname Lan.

Lan Ning has no objection to this. It would be weird to call someone by his first name but not his last name.

"I'll think about this carefully and give you an answer in two days."

"Then what should we call them these two days?"

Um, this question stumped everyone.

"Forget it, keep it simple, why bother with so much trouble?"

The sofa was put down, and several wounded soldiers lay on the beds, collectively discussing the important matter of naming the servants.

"Your name is Lan Cui, and your name is Lan Qing."

Lan Ning pointed at the two cleaning ladies.

"Your name is Lan Zi, and your name is Lan Cheng."

Then he pointed at the two cooks.

"Your name is Lan Cai, and your name is Lan Yin."

The two maids who were finally pointed out looked very happy.

Several people saluted Lan Ning in unison.

"Thank you very much for the name given by Miss."

Lan Ning acted quickly and efficiently, and without any delay, he gave several people names according to their colors. Not to mention, the names they gave were quite nice.

"Okay, you guys can leave now and go about your own business.

By the way, you are not allowed to go into that room. It must be kept absolutely clean and hygienic. It would be bad if you go in and make it dirty."

Lan Ning pointed to the room where sanitary napkins were made. The door was closed tightly, and no matter what happened outside, the people inside did not come out. They were absolutely oblivious to what was happening outside and only wanted to do good things.

The only people working inside were still Aunt Li and Aunt He, and no new staff were added.

Menstrual towels are very popular these days, but after all, only rich people can afford them.

In addition, the two of them were very fast and could make seventy or eighty pieces every day, which was barely enough to meet the demand of those people.

Lan Ning didn't want to hire any more people. First, he was worried, and second, he would have to adapt again.

What if the newcomer knows nothing, makes random suggestions, and gets into conflicts with Aunt Li and Aunt He, then it would be a waste of time and effort.

Aunt Li and Aunt He have worked for her for so many years that they have completely kept their mouths shut when they go out, as if they have amnesia.

When others asked her about it, she knew nothing about it. Even her family didn't know what work they did at Lan Ning's house. They only knew that they could earn a lot of money every month.

Anyway, the Lan Ning family is very nice. It is an honor to be able to work for them. If you don’t know, then don’t worry. At least their family life has improved a lot.

In addition to the two of them, others also helped Lan Ning and others grow peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., and they could earn a lot of money every month. Now they can often eat meat.

After this incident with the bullies, Lan Ning made a decision. She paid money to surround their village.

The village is open at all times, and there will always be thieves and human traffickers breaking in.

Fortunately, everyone in their village is alert, and there has been no case of human traffickers abducting children, but cases of theft have occurred quite frequently.

When the time comes, we will surround the village and have people guard it every day, so that we can ensure absolute safety.

She didn't want any more bullies to break into the village.

As the village chief, what could he say about Lan Ning's request? He would definitely agree with it wholeheartedly.

So the trees on their mountain began to suffer again.

The trees were stripped of their heavy branches and split into pieces of wood that were 20 centimeters wide, 2 meters long, and 10 centimeters thick. The rectangular pieces of wood were sharpened on the edges, making it impossible for people to climb, ensuring absolute safety.

Although there are not many people in the village, the distance between the fenced fields is very large.

One piece of wood can be made into three to four pieces, and there will be at least seven or eight hundred pieces in a circle.

Although the project was huge, they thought that their village would be absolutely safe in the future, and Lan Ning would pay the workers.

These people worked harder than anyone else, and both men and women joined in this massive project.

Lan Ning and his companions were injured and unable to get out of bed, so they did not check the shops in the county every day. This task was given to Xiao Yao.

He was extremely busy every day, having to sort out the accounts and taking on the responsibilities of a boss. In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight, which made him want to quit his job. Even if he was down and out, he would never bully others like this. He had never had such a hard life before.

The crying Xiao Yao was comforted by Lan Ning, who gave him a flute he had never seen before.

This was one of the rewards for her completing many tasks, a modern flute. This flute is very expensive even in modern times, not to mention in ancient times. The material and workmanship, the details, and the exquisiteness make it very extraordinary at first glance.

It has been covered in dust in the space for a long time, and I don't have the skill to play the flute. Last time, I accidentally saw Mr. Xiao hiding alone, holding a tattered flute in his hand and stroking it gently. From his action, I can tell that the flute or its owner is a very important person to him.

From this we can see that Xiao Yao should be able to play the flute, so I'll give it to him to play from time to time, so that he won't be reluctant to part with the flute.

Ten days later, Xiao Yao brought back the news that Xue Jiuqian was released, but all the things in the manor were confiscated and used to fill the national treasury.

Xue Jiuqian was unwilling, but he had to agree because the people behind him sent someone to secretly pass him a message, asking him to obey the arrangements. The amount of money was huge, and the emperor was very concerned about the matter, so he must not lose the big picture for the small.

So he had to accept the fact that he was homeless, but it didn't matter, he could make money quickly, as long as the business he did with the man behind him was still there, he could make a comeback at any time, so he could just take the little money.

He disappeared on the day he was released, and no one knew where he went. Lan Ning and his colleagues sent people to help look for him for a long time but couldn't find him. Their plan to secretly get rid of him had to be put on hold for the time being.

The manor was taken over by the emperor. Without the oppression of the landlords, the tenant farmers felt like they were alive again.

They finally no longer had to do endless farm work every day, endure endless beatings, and worry about whether they could survive to the next day. The women in their families smeared dirt on their faces every day to make themselves ugly, and when food was distributed, only a little was given. One person could not survive even on thin porridge for half a year.

Such days are finally over, and they finally have a chance to continue living. Although they don’t know what the future will be like, it will definitely be better than before.
