Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"Only the third brother came back." Yun Ying shook her head.

Lin Yinan was suddenly confused. How come Yun Mo was the only one who came back?

Did something happen over there?

Lin Yinan was secretly frightened when he saw a figure quickly walk around the screen and come to the side of the bed.

"Mom, Anan, I'm back!" Yun Mo was standing in front of Yunmu and Lin Yinan at this time.

He glanced at Lin Yinan's snow-white chest and swallowed hard.

Lin Yinan looked up and saw that he had become much tanned after going out. The exposed skin on his face, neck and arms were all tanned into a bronze color.

Yunmu also stared at him intently, "Why is it so dark?"

"The sea breeze over there is strong." Yun Mo smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

After the child was full, Lin Yinan buttoned up her clothes, and Yunmu quickly took the child and burped her.

Seeing that the child had grown a lot and looked like a little pink ball, Yun Mo wanted to reach out and touch her face, but Lin Yinan quickly held his hand.

"You can't touch her without washing your hands."

Yun Mo withdrew his hand awkwardly.

"Yunying said you came back alone?" Lin Yinan asked.

Speaking of business, Yun Mo pulled her up and said, "Come on, let's go to the meeting room."

When the two entered the meeting room, they saw Yun Ye and Yun Yi, the clan leader, Lin Yiheng, Lin Yuanzhi, Lin Tiezhuang, Pan Qingfeng, Liang Wen and other backbone members of Longtan County were all inside, but the village chief and several clan elders were not there.

After sitting down, Yun Mo got straight to the point and said, "We discovered an iron mine on the mountain in Xihe County."

His words were like a bombshell exploding in everyone's ears. There was actually an iron mine in Xihe County.

"Are the Japanese pirates already mining?" Lin Yinan asked.

Yun Mo nodded, "Yes, they have already mined 40% of this huge iron mine. And according to our investigation, the Yu family of Nanzhou Prefecture colluded with the Japanese pirates to mine the iron mine together."

"What's the current situation in Xihe County?" Yun Ye frowned and tapped his hands on the table.

Yun Mo said, "At present, the entire Xihe County has been controlled by us. We destroyed two ships that the Japanese pirates were fleeing on. We also captured all the Japanese pirates and the people sent by the Yu family. No one escaped."

"We rescued more than 5,000 civilians."

Liang Wen was shocked and asked, "Didn't Xihe County get massacred?"

"I guess being massacred was just an excuse. The real reason was that he was captured by the Japanese pirates to mine." Lin Yinan said calmly.

In front of the all-powerful nobles and the powerful Japanese pirates, the common people are as small as ants.

"The people we rescued were badly damaged, and many are sick. Yun Wu is too busy to handle it all. I'm going to bring Doctor Lu with me to help, as well as some medicinal herbs." Yun Mo said to Lin Yiheng.

"Now that the iron mine is in our hands, will it be discovered by the Yu family?"

Yunye was worried that if the aristocratic families united, they would not be able to compete with them.

Yun Mo said, "Don't worry, second brother. I have interrogated carefully. Someone comes to transport the forged ironware every six months. A batch was just transported away in June. The mine manager said that someone will come to pick up the next batch before the New Year, and they will bring some good slaves with them."

Lin Tiezhuang asked as he recorded, "Do we need to transport food over now?"

"No need. They usually send a batch of food over every three months. There are still two months left. We can dress up and receive the food. It shouldn't be a big problem." Yun Mo said.

Lin Yinan's mind was racing. This was a good opportunity for them to grow and develop.

"Then let the people of Xihe County open up wasteland and cultivate the land there, and send more secret guards to increase vigilance."

Yunye said, "I think so too."

"Second brother, there are not enough people over there. Please give me some more people. We need to send people to keep an eye on the Yu family and the Japanese pirates at all times." Yun Mo got a headache when he thought of the cunning Japanese pirates.

Pan Qingfeng already had experience in dealing with dishonest people. "Second Master Yun, since they are dishonest, don't feed them too much, otherwise they will have the energy to cause trouble."

"Let them wear shackles while mining." Lin Yinan added.

Don't be too kind to your enemies, otherwise you will only cause trouble for yourself.

Everyone worked together and discussed it. In the end, in addition to taking Doctor Lu and the medicinal materials, Yun Mo selected fifty people from the Dark Guard Camp.

Before going to bed at night, he called his eldest brother-in-law, his second brother, Yun Yi, Yun Si, Yun Liu and several other small leaders of the secret guards.

"One of the pirates' ships was not damaged. I had it towed to the beach where we dry salt and hid it there."

"How big is it?" Yun Ye's eyes lit up frighteningly. If they had ships, could they train a navy?

Yun Mo gestured and said excitedly, "It can seat several hundred people."

As soon as the two brothers finished talking, several cloud digitals looked at their master with burning eyes. They all wanted to try it out in the water.

How could Lin Yinan not know what the two were thinking? She knocked on the table to wake them up. "We only have so many people now, and you want to build a navy?"

"Why do those people always run to the prosperous cities?" Yun Mo was a little discouraged.

Yunye was older after all, and he quickly realized the reality, "It's okay, let's take it step by step, and guard against the Japanese pirates first."

"They will definitely come." Lin Yinan said.

Yun Mo spread out the map drawn by Yun Qi, pointed at several marked places and said, "I have already found out where the Yu family and the Japanese pirates came from. If they come again, we will do this..."

It was not until late at night when the moonlight spread across the earth like water that they hurriedly dispersed after the meeting.

They have to leave again tomorrow. Yun Mo doesn't want to sleep alone on the couch and insists on sleeping on the bed and squeezing together with Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan was afraid that he would turn over and crush the child in the middle of the night, so she had no choice but to put the child on the inside.

After a whole day's journey, the two of them lay down and chatted for a few words, then Yun Mo fell asleep in Lin Yinan's arms.

The summer morning breeze is cool, dewdrops sparkle on the tips of the grass, and the light golden color of the rice ears in the fields sways in the breeze.

The fiery red sun shines through the thin clouds and shines on the earth, bringing a quiet and warm atmosphere.

Smoke from cooking slowly rose from the rooftops, and gradually more and more people woke up in the morning light.

After breakfast, all the necessary medicinal materials have been loaded into the car, and the supplies and people to be taken have also been prepared.

Just as the carriage was about to leave the county government office, the secret guards came running hurriedly.

"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?" Yun Mo asked.

"Master, there are many refugees outside the city!"

"Refugees?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Let's go and take a look." Yun Mo dismounted and followed the secret guard.

When everyone climbed up the city wall, they saw a large number of refugees with their families gathering at the city gate.

The refugees saw that the city wall of Longtan County was indeed as Manager Chen had said, even taller and more magnificent than that of Yongqing City.

The leading refugee knelt down on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to Lin Yinan and others on the city wall.

Before he could ask any questions, he introduced himself first, "Sir, please! Please be kind enough to take me in!"

"Where are you from?" Yun Mo asked loudly.

"We came from Yongqing City. The Chen family's steward said that you are recruiting a large number of refugees in Longtan, and we don't need to sell ourselves into slavery, so we all came here."
