The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Shen Ruolan pointed to a stone bench nearby and said to him, "Manager Miao, please take a seat."

Miao Wei didn't know why Shen Ruolan asked him to come in. He sat down with a nervous look on his face and said, "Yes, young lady."

Shen Ruolan stared at Miao Wei for a while, then said to him, "Manager Miao, I asked you to come here to ask if you are willing to work for me like Ji Han did?"

Although she has already bought more than 20 people, except Ji Han and He Cai, the others can only be considered technical workers. They lack the ability to help her with things and manage affairs, so she wants to buy a few more capable assistants.

Shen Ruolan's words startled Miao Wei, but he quickly came back to his senses and asked Shen Ruolan, "Miss, do you want me to sell myself, just like Manager Ji, to help you do things?"

Shen Ruolan nodded at him and replied, "Yes, because some things are very special. I won't use anyone who is not mine or who is not loyal to me."

Shen Ruolan’s meaning was very clear. If you wanted to follow her, you had to be loyal, otherwise she would not want you at all.

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Miao Wei hesitated for a moment and asked Shen Ruolan uncomfortably, "Miss, can you still get married after selling yourself?"

It's not that he is lustful, but he has a fiancée and they have already agreed to get married when their lives get better.

Shen Ruolan said: "Of course you can, but no matter who your wife is, you can't tell her what you did for me."

"Understood." Miao Wei said, and then he looked at Shen Ruolan with a firm face and said, "Miss, I am willing to sell myself to work for you and be loyal to you forever. If I betray you, I will die miserably!"

"Okay, please remember what you said today." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she tore off another piece of cloth and wrote a contract of sale with her own blood. She handed it to Miao Wei and said, "I, Shen Ruolan, cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes. If anyone who follows me betrays me one day, I will not only peel off his skin, but also pull out his tendons. I will also make his family pay a heavy price. Think carefully before signing this contract of sale."

Miao Wei looked at the indenture contract in silence for a moment, then he put his hand in his mouth and took a bite, saying, "Miss, please rest assured. Since I, Miao Wei, have acknowledged you as my master, you will be my master for life. I will go through fire and water for you in the future."

The moment Miao Wei finished speaking, he also pressed his finger on it.

Shen Ruolan saw Miao Wei had signed the contract, so she put it away and said, "I'm not that kind of harsh boss. From now on, as long as you work hard for me, I, Shen Ruolan, will not let anyone else suffer any loss, but my own people."

"Yes, master." Miao Wei responded to Shen Ruolan.

Shen Ruolan went into the house, took out five taels of silver, handed it to him and said, "This is the money you earned from selling your body, keep it."

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "Pick a few reliable and trustworthy people to help you. Of course, if they are unwilling to sell themselves, don't force them."

Miao Wei took the silver and said to Shen Ruolan respectfully, "Yes, Master, I will go find it right away."

After Miao Wei finished speaking, he turned and left.

After dinner at night, Shen Ruolan took advantage of everyone being together and said, "Fellow villagers, I will be leaving the mountain tomorrow, and I don't know when I will be back. Don't be afraid during my absence. Manager Miao will lead everyone and protect everyone."

When the villagers heard that Shen Ruolan was leaving, they all looked at her reluctantly and asked, "Boss, where are you going? Can you not leave the mountain?"

The head of the family is everyone's backbone. When they heard that she was leaving, everyone felt empty and had no sense of security.

Shen Ruolan told everyone truthfully: "I am going to Nanfeng Village. There is a patient waiting for me there. He is also our God of Wealth. During the New Year, whether we can have a decent meal depends on him."

Shen Ruolan was telling the truth. She was now waiting for Mu Jinxuan's reward to support everyone. Otherwise, she would have to find other ways to get food and money.

When the villagers heard that Shen Ruolan was going to earn food for everyone, they looked at her with a moved look on their faces and said, "Boss, don't worry, we will work hard in the mountains."

"Yes," Shen Ruolan said to the villagers, and continued, "In addition to finding food, your current work is to cut trees and build houses. When Master Bai sends over the hoe, everyone will immediately open up the wasteland and try to grow some food next spring."

"Yes, Boss." The villagers responded loudly.

"Everyone, let's rest early." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she called to Ji Han and Miao Wei: "Ji Han, Miao Wei, both of you come with me."

"Yes, master." After Ji Han and Miao Wei finished speaking, they hurriedly followed Shen Ruolan and left.

Inside the room, Shen Ruolan looked at Ji Han and asked, "Ji Han, have all the swords been distributed?"

Ji Han said: "My Lord, the assignment has been made. Because there is no writing material, I asked Xiao Yingzi to mark the people holding the swords."

Fan Ying was a young boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old. Because he had a good memory and had practiced boxing for several years, he was made the captain of the village protection team. He was responsible for leading the hundreds of people to exercise every day, teaching them some basic boxing, and then going up the mountain to hunt.

Shen Ruolan nodded and said, "Go call him over."

"Yes, master." After Ji Han finished speaking, he went out to find Fan Ying.

Ji Han went out, and Shen Ruolan told Miao Wei, "Miao Wei, during the days I'm away, the mountains are completely in your hands. Unless it rains, you must not neglect the felling of trees and the reclamation of land, and you must not neglect the building of the house. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master." Miao Wei finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruolan and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Master, how many houses should we build?"

They have already built three large houses, not counting the one where their master lives. Although it is a bit crowded, it is enough for everyone to live in. Now he heard that his master wants to build more houses, and he doesn't know how many houses to build.

Shen Ruolan was silent for a moment, and said to Miao Wei: "Build six more houses as big as this one, and build a big kitchen between every two houses."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she saw some confusion in Miao Wei's eyes, so he explained to her: "There are still many refugees outside, so we have to build more houses and wait."

Miao Wei understood what his master said instantly. He lowered his head and said to Shen Ruolan: "Yes, I understand."

Shen Ruolan gave Miao Wei instructions on how to reclaim the wasteland, and then took out three bags of explosives from her backpack and handed them to him, saying, "This is a life-saving talisman for everyone in the mountains. Don't take it out unless it's absolutely necessary. If other bandits come to provoke you, just let the villagers kill them. This thing is best used against large wild animals, understand?"

Sometimes, humans are much easier to deal with than beasts, so she doesn't recommend using this against humans.
