Because not everyone had spare clothes, and for ease of management, Jing Yao took out spare work clothes for them to change into. Even the children wore small-sized work clothes.

Jing Yao looked at the people who were washed clean and wearing uniform clothes, nodded with satisfaction, and looked much more energetic.

Jing Yao looked at the thirty or so people in front of him and asked, "Those of you who can read, please stand up."

After a while, seven young people, two Chinese characters and two old men stood up. Seeing so many people, Jing Yao nodded. It was better than he expected, at least there were a few more.

When handing the people over to Wen Qin, he pointed out a few people who could read and wrote to him. "These people can write. Teach them. Let them get familiar with writing and follow you."

Wen Qin looked at the men and asked in confusion, "This is someone I bought to be the steward."

Jing Yao shook his head, not yet making up his mind; "First follow and learn, and see what kind of character and ability you have."

Wen Qin nodded and left with a few people.

The two young men also obediently followed Wen Qin and left, but unlike the others who looked happy, they remained expressionless and very calm.

Jing Yao did not ask anyone to pay special attention to them. The two of them had special identities, and the fewer people knew about it, the better. How they would be treated next would depend on their own performance.

The rest of the people were assigned to Wen Qun. He was in charge of the woman and Shuang'er, as well as the kitchen dispatch and account management. The three big men were first arranged to go to the warehouse to help with loading and shipping goods.

Wen Qun urgently asked people to clean up the kitchen first. This place had been built a long time ago. The engineering team had been cooking here when the factory was built. Now that more people are eating here, it needs to be expanded and renovated to turn it into an employee canteen.

It was a difficult task to arrange accommodation for the people after they were brought back. Fortunately, Jing Yao had planned the employee dormitories in advance, so these people could be accommodated first. However, when he was planning the employee dormitories, he only thought about separating the three genders. He did not expect that there would be the problem of a family. Now they can only be accommodated separately.

Several wine-making workers were arranged to live in the courtyard of the new house. The environment there was better and they could live together. Several people could also be arranged to help take care of them. Otherwise, Jing Yao was still worried about just a few elderly people living together.

As for the six men, they were also arranged to go in. Jing Yao felt the pulse of the three who were still lying down one by one. Although he did not know medicine, his wood-based ability could check the vitality of the human body and the exhausted meridians, so helping them recover would not be a problem.

Although these three people were just extras, they have been escorting the caravan for many years and are in good physical condition. If they can be rescued, the six of them will be a considerable force.

Jing Yao took out an acupuncture bag, pulled out a few needles from it, and inserted a few needles into the feet of several people. Then he fed each person a pill, waited for a quarter of an hour, and then removed all the needles.

"Okay, don't move around these few days, rest well, and the acupuncture will last for seven days. After that, it will depend on how they recover through their own exercise." Jing Yao put away the needle and said calmly.

When Zhang Yong, Li You and Wang Lin heard this, they almost cried for joy and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you very much, sir. I will never forget your kindness in giving me a new life."

"Thank you, sir."

"Thank you, sir."

Xiao Ling, Zhao Quan, and Li Yuanyi knelt down before Jing Yao and said, "Sir, from now on our lives belong to you. We will do whatever you ask us to do, even if it means death."

Jing Yao helped them up and said, "I bought you because I want you to do something. As long as you work hard in the future, I will not treat you unfairly."

"We will do our best to serve you, sir." The six people answered in unison.

"You just had an injection, take a break. The three of you should clean up first, and we will arrange for you to work later."

Jing Yao left after he finished speaking. Wen Qun was waiting for him outside. He still lived in the old house and would move into the new house after getting married. The decoration and furniture had been completed, and the surrounding infrastructure was also being slowly built. Wen Qun's favorite flowers and some fruit trees were planted in several gardens. After a few years, this place would become a sea of ​​flowers and peach garden.

The two of them went back together. On the way, they talked about the three men's legs. Wen Qun asked, "Ayao, how do you know medical skills?"

Jing Yao shook his head, "I don't know any medical skills. I just used my wood-related abilities to help their legs regain vitality. I'll have to ask a doctor for pharmacology."

Wen Qun's eyes lit up, "Isn't this even more amazing? Only you can treat this disease that even doctors can't cure."

Jing Yao pinched his fingers and said, "It can treat some diseases, but it is also very limited. I know I don't have the ability to save the world, so I don't show it in front of others."

Wen Qun suddenly seemed to have thought of something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Jing Yao saw his expression and understood what he was thinking, so he said directly, "I have never seen Granny Chen's son, and I don't know what's wrong with his leg. I can't ask rashly. If she comes to me, I can help take a look."

Wen Qun held Jing Yao's hand and shook it, "Ayao, thank you."

After the breeding farm was built, Jing Yao settled the few people he bought in a dormitory on the mountain. There were twelve men in total. Three of them were married and one family had no children. Two families had several half-grown children who were still young enough to work in the factory. Jing Yao asked them to go to the mountain together to help collect some grass for the pigs.

The piglets that Wen Luo helped buy have been delivered one after another. The large piece of wasteland that Jing Yao bought and a small hill next to it can be used to raise pigs. Combined with the output from the large piece of reclaimed land next to it, there will be no shortage of food in the short term.

The beets next to it have sprouted and started to grow. The seeds were sown rather sparsely, and now all the seedlings have emerged. In a few days, the densely packed ones can be removed and the soil can be ridged into rows, followed by watering and fertilizing.

Jing Yao was also going to experiment with the sweet potatoes and corn he had just brought back on the ground. He had soaked and improved the corn seeds, so as long as they were planted properly, there wouldn't be any major problems. Sweet potatoes were planted by cuttings, and as long as the buds grew from the mother fruit and became branches, they could survive if they were cut and planted in the ground. Jing Yao didn't dare to use too many supernatural powers because sweet potatoes grew so fast. For potatoes, it was even easier to just cut off the sprouts, wrap them in plant ash, dig a hole, throw them into the soil, and bury them.

Wen Luo looked at the more than 100 castrated pigs and thought about the situation a year later. "Yao, you are really bold and capable in everything you do."

Jing Yao held up his breeding plan and said with a smile, "Uncle, you are too kind. When it comes to farming and raising pigs, everyone in the village is better than me. I am just brave and skilled, so I am crossing the river by feeling the stones."

Wen Luo shook his head, "Okay, goodbye. They have your ability and ideas. You, don't always learn from your father-in-law and speak in a flowery way. It makes me sleepy."

Jing Yao's hand paused. He didn't say anything, which was not very elegant. No wonder the two of them disliked each other and always made sarcastic remarks when they met. Neither of them could understand what they said, and they didn't know what to argue about.

Seeing that no one said anything else, Wen Luo assumed that he had heard it and drove away in his carriage.

Jing Yao shook his head, walked over and began to instruct them on the daily feeding diet for the piglets.

He looked up the information in the space to understand the habits of pigs and found that pigs fed a mixed diet grew faster and were healthier. He planned to adopt this approach, adding beans and wheat bran to cooked food to enrich the diet.

Free-range breeding in groups is also a good choice. Try to build the farm in the way they like it, reduce diseases and prevent diseases.

The personnel structure in the factory is temporarily arranged like this. Originally, Jing Yao planned to recruit people from the town. Some management cannot be all villagers, otherwise there will be too many relatives in the factory. Because the employees in the factory are already villagers, if the management is also, it will be a mess in the future. So after Jing Yao formulated a series of rules and regulations, they were implemented according to the rules and regulations. No matter whether he is a villager or an outsider, as long as he is wrong, he is wrong, so everyone will work hard and not play tricks.

Jing Yao went to meet a few elderly people first. After being arranged to live in the other courtyard, they behaved well and did not cause any trouble. They also accepted several children who were sent to take care of them, and looked like they were ready to settle down in life.

"Old folks, how come you were sold to the dental clinic?" Jing Yao asked curiously.

"Young master, we were brought here from the north. Originally, all the families in our village made wine. Life was easy in those days. Every year, we would pay taxes on the grain produced from the fields, keep some for ourselves, and even make wine. Those were great days. But God has been getting worse and worse in recent years. Our area is guarding a small river, which is getting shallower every year. Last year, it was so dry that not a drop of water could be seen. We dug wells again and again, but our buckets all hit the ground. People were dying of thirst, and all the crops in the fields had dried up. The young people had no choice but to flee south with their families. We, the old men, originally wanted to stay and let God take us away, but we didn't expect a group of bandits to pass by. When they saw that the village was deserted and only a few old guys were left, they tied us up and gave us to their traffickers." One of the old men spoke up.

"Doesn't the government prohibit forced trafficking of human beings?" Jing Yao wondered.

"So we are not selling them, we are giving them as gifts." Several old men were also helpless! They were all ready to wait for death at home. The coffins were made in the early years and the place was chosen. Who would have thought that those people would take them away if they couldn't buy them? They thought it was better to live a miserable life than to die. They didn't bother and would go anywhere.

“…” Jing Yao was speechless.

"The world is tough, we guys are living one day at a time, it's good to be in the government office, we don't have to do anything but still have food to eat. We are useless and no one wants us, so we just live there in our old age. I didn't expect that the young master would take a liking to us at first sight."

They didn't expect that there would be a sucker who bought all of their old, weak and sick people. They were not worried about how bad it could be.

"Grandpa, A Yao said that you smell of alcohol, so you must be making wine, so he bought you back." Wen Qun didn't think that they were being taken advantage of.

"The little guy has such a sensitive nose." Several people were surprised.

"I can't smell any alcohol. I haven't had a drink in a long time."

"We smell a bit like wine lees. Haha, the little guy also knows how to make wine."

"I know a little. I used to work in a winery for a few years." Jing Yao said with a smile.

"Are you looking for us to make wine?" Several old men looked at each other.

"Yes, I have a few wine-making recipes and want to build a winery. Now I would like to ask a few old men for help." Jing Yao said frankly.

"This is not difficult. It's our specialty. What's more, we were bought back here, so we naturally have to listen to the Zhu family's orders." Upon hearing this, the old men became excited and were eager to try.

"Don't worry, old men. Just work hard for me. When your younger generations come to me, I will naturally set you free." Jing Yao promised.

"Haha, boy Yao, that's not necessary. We don't have any descendants. We will be satisfied if you can make some arrangements for us a hundred years after we die." Several people didn't care about freedom or not. They were all going to be buried anyway.

"That's natural. I will definitely give you a long and comfortable life."

"Okay, let's start tomorrow!"

After that, Wen Qun and Jing Yao left and planned to go to the winery tomorrow.

"Ayao, are the grandfathers in good health?" Wen Qun asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I added something to the water they drink, and they are in good health." Jing Yao pinched his face and said with a smile.
