"It seems like everyone of you has understood what's going on. I'll send someone to inform your families shortly. If anyone wants to send a letter home, they can write it now and I'll bring it back for them.

Of course, out of respect for your letter, I won't read it. What you write is up to you. Anyway, your family has sent the bill, and I'll check it again. Whoever's account is cleared can leave.

But you also know that the workload is huge now. If there is any problem with the bill you sent this time, I may not be impatient to keep you here and ask you to move to another place.

Tamara, give them pen and paper, and send them off once they're done."

After saying that, Tia decided not to stay here. Joel should be up by now.

Sure enough, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Joel standing there.

"Brother, morning!"

"Why did you get up so early?"

"When I think about these termites, I'm so angry that I can't sleep. Let's not talk about it anymore. This matter has gradually begun to be resolved. Let's go have breakfast. I haven't had breakfast yet and I'm starving."

"I knew you were a little glutton." Joel said as he took out the breakfast beside him.

Tia ate it all in one gulp. "Brother is so nice. If it weren't for him, I would have starved to death now."

Although he knew that Tia was just being nice, Joel was still undeniably pleased. "What did you do with those people?"

To prevent people from eavesdropping on things they shouldn't, the conference room and study were both equipped with soundproofing arrays, so Joel didn't hear anything outside the door.

"Nothing, just ask them to sit here."

"I guess these people didn't expect you to lock them up here directly. They probably didn't bring anyone here." Joel felt that Tia's method was a good one.

"But now that you've forced them to do it, what are you going to do next?"

"The mountain man has his own clever plan!" Since Tia dared to do it, she had already thought of a way out. After all, if she touched the capitalist's cake, the consequences would be serious.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't interfere."

"I still need my brother. Those people in there might cause trouble. Can you go in and help keep an eye on them?"

Tia didn't intend to let Joel watch for too long, but she needed an excuse to go out and find a few other people to deal with some things.

"Brother, don't worry, it's just time for lunch."

"If you ask, I'll help you."

"Thank you, brother. I'll go out and take care of other things first."

"it is good."

Tia was no longer afraid of that group of people causing trouble, and she felt a little more at ease. She went to find Jane first.

"I just asked Miriam to buy some breakfast. Please put some medicine in it that will make the body weak but not sleepy."

"Don't you want to poison it? It will be easier to control if you poison it." Jian En was eager to try the poison in his hand. His master had been busy studying for exams for the past half month and had not come to see him. Now that he finally had the chance to show his abilities, he of course had to perform well.

"Forget it, don't push those people too hard. A cornered dog will do anything desperate." Tia didn't intend to do anything too extreme.

Jane was a little disappointed, but still did as she was told. "These poisons are for the master to use for self-defense."

Tia stopped being pretentious, took it, and went straight to find the three people.

"How's the work you were asked to do going?"

"I bought some kitchen maids, but I didn't dare buy anything else, so I just took a quick look. The owner still has to make the final decision. They've been occupying some of the land, and they won't let go. As for shops, I only looked at two, and I didn't make any moves on the others."

Tia took out a disguise mask and transformed herself into another appearance. "Now let's go to the slave market."

I had thought that slaves would be more expensive because there were so few people here, but surprisingly, they weren't very expensive. Also, because there was little population movement, few people needed to add slaves to their families, so the quality of the slaves was also higher.

Tia thought for a moment, waved her hand, and bought fifty slaves directly.

"My young lady said she wants to do business with you, but unfortunately she can't bring too many people with her. You guys should work hard on your business. If you do well, she won't treat you unfairly. If you don't, she will sell you all out."

Tia spoke loudly, and the curiosity of the people around her was aroused.

"Where are you from, young lady? What's your business?"

"Do you think you can find out about our young lady? As for what kind of business she will do, she has her own plans." Tia said arrogantly and left with her people.

The only people left listening became curious about them.

He brought a group of people back to the yard and counted the rooms. Fortunately, when he decided to buy so many slaves, he gave them some money in advance, so that the three of them could buy some sleeping mats on the floor and let them spend the night there. Fortunately, the yard was big enough and there was enough room for them to sleep.

"Have you finished the wooden sticks I asked you to get?"

"It's all ready, so much preparation!"

"From now on, a pair of two wooden sticks will be called chopsticks. The three of you will teach them how to use chopsticks this morning. In the afternoon, hold an activity. Whoever can correctly pick up a piece of bread the size of a fingernail with chopsticks within three minutes will receive a copper coin. There's no limit to the number of times you can participate.

The three of you will be responsible for shouting and calling people, and then you pick five girls who can use chopsticks correctly to serve as inspectors. The rest of you will be responsible for maintaining order. When most people have paid, go and exchange ten gold coins for copper coins and get ready, then shout in the downtown area.

I will arrange accommodation for the rest of you tomorrow. After today's activities, if you still have free time, those of you who can write can write down everyone's names and what you can do. You can write anything, such as calligraphy, drawing, or carpentry.

I have other things to do, so I'll go back first."

Tia left the yard, found a small corner, took off her disguise mask, and walked back.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother!"

"Did you ask Jane to drug them? They are so quiet." Joel had been guarding here for a long time and didn't see anyone making any noise, so he became suspicious. It happened that Jane, who knew how to make medicine, was brought here again.

"Isn't this just to reduce your workload?" Tia pulled Joel's sleeve and immediately changed the subject. "Let's go, let's go eat. Brother has helped me for so long, I want to treat him to a good meal."

"You!" Joel shook his head helplessly and followed Tia's pace.

After lunch, there was still no news, so Tia was not in a hurry.

"Millian, go find a few shops that were once prosperous but have fallen into decline, or those inconspicuous small shops. Tell them that the lord is in need, bring their accountants here, and compensate them with two gold coins a day.

Remember to tell them not to leak the information. If they violate the rules, you can refer to the regulations and general penalties we saw yesterday for the consequences."
