Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

The next morning, Xu Miao came to General Liu's residence and met General Liu, who was brought back by Mrs. Liu last night.

As soon as they met, General Liu happily praised the pills that Xu Miao had sent him: "This pill that Miss Xu sent is a good thing. Madam let me take half a pill last night, and this morning, my back pain felt much better."

"I just gave my wife half a pill, thinking she'd take care of herself. She's getting old and has all sorts of problems."

When General Liu returned home last night, he persuaded Mrs. Liu to take half a pill sent by Xu Miao.

At first, General Liu didn't take it seriously. He just thought it was to please his wife. He asked him to eat half a pill, so he obediently ate half a pill.

Anyway, this pill is not a deadly poison, so just take it.

But when I woke up in the morning, I felt that my previous waist injury seemed to have healed a lot, and my whole body felt very comfortable.

He knew that Xu Miao had given the old couple some good medicinal herbs, so he quickly asked Mrs. Liu to take half a pill as well.

He even joked with Madam Liu, "I don't know how big a deal this Miss Xu wants from me, to be willing to give me such a good pill as a thank you gift."

"When I see her later, I'll have to ask her about it. I'll see how I can help her get things done."

After Xu Miao finished paying his respects and sat down, General Liu began to ask Xu Miao about his plan to recruit outsiders outside Dingzhou City.

"Last night, I heard from Madam that you wanted to recruit some outsiders from outside the city to Hanjia Village? What kind of people do you want to recruit back?"

General Liu didn't bother to be polite with Xu Miao and started asking questions straight away.

Seeing General Liu asking, Xu Miao didn't hesitate and explained to General Liu in detail what she and Village Chief Han were thinking.

"General, from the beginning we were thinking of recruiting some young and strong men. Yesterday, Uncle Fu reminded me that it would be better to recruit some people with families."

“People with families are more responsible and can settle down and live a good life.”

"But the villages outside Hanjia Village are indeed a bit dangerous. I'm really worried that we won't be able to attract families with children. Although they are more stable, outside Hanjia Village, it's a place where you can lose your life at any time."

Xu Miao was also worried that he would not be able to recruit suitable outsiders. If the people he recruited with great difficulty ran away after staying for a few days, all his efforts would be in vain.

After hearing Xu Miao's concerns, General Liu thought for a moment and said to Xu Miao, "Many of the outsiders outside the city are fleeing famine."

"Arriving in Hanjia Village, they have a house to live in and land to farm in the future. This is a great joy for them."

"Otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to gain a foothold in Northern Xinjiang on their own."

Even if these outsiders could enter Dingzhou City, they would be so poor that they would have nothing left.

Many outsiders who come to the city rely on odd jobs to earn a living and support their families.

However, there are not many odd jobs available in Dingzhou City, so some people go to the villages below Dingzhou City to look for work after entering the city, but there are not so many jobs to be found in the villages.

Many people, along with their families, temporarily live in dilapidated houses in the village. They don't have the money to buy land, so they rely on farming for the village and harvesting food.

But it will take some time for them to gain a firm foothold in the northern border.

Although Hanjia Village is located in a remote area, the conditions offered by Xu Miao and others are still quite attractive.

Not only will they be provided with houses, but they will also be able to cultivate the land themselves in the spring of next year. Xu Miao also said that he will give each person who moves to the villages outside Hanjia Village five taels of silver as a resettlement allowance.

If several members of a family go together, this money is enough for them to live a good life in the northern border for a while.

With these attractive conditions, the dangerous things in Hanjia Village can really be ignored.

Especially in recent years, there has been basically no major movement from the barbarians. Even if a small group of barbarians launches a sneak attack on Hanjia Village, it would not be a big problem if Hanjia Village has a large population and can defend well.

General Liu's face relaxed a lot when he thought about this. He said to Xu Miao with a smile, "Miss Xu, I think it shouldn't be difficult to recruit people outside the city."

"When the time comes, explain the situation of Hanjia Village clearly to those who want to go there, especially the conditions you have set."

"I'll send someone to follow you and have this soldier tell you about the recent battle situation in the northern border. Although Hanjia Village is a bit dangerous, the ones who might attack are just small groups of barbarians."

"If the defense is done properly, nothing serious should go wrong."

"I'll send a personal soldier to take you to the city lord in a moment. We need to get in touch with the city lord before we can recruit people."

"Don't worry, the city lord will definitely not make things difficult for you. The government is eager for someone to help them settle those outsiders. Once you recruit villagers, there will naturally be teachers among those outsiders who can follow you to Hanjia Village."

There are all kinds of people outside Dingzhou City, so it is not difficult to find a teacher.

After hearing what General Liu said, Xu Miao quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to General Liu.

"General, thank you Xu Miao for your willingness to help Han Village. I thank you on behalf of all the villagers in Han Village."

Xu Miao bowed and expressed his gratitude to General Liu.

Seeing that Xu Miao's problem was resolved, General Liu did not keep Xu Miao in the Liu Mansion for long.

Early in the morning, Madam Liu had someone send her out to do some errands. He and Xu Miao really didn't have much to talk about.

General Liu briefly asked about Zhou Jicheng's recent situation, then asked his personal soldiers to take Xu Miao to the Dingzhou City government to greet the city lord.

After Xu Miao said farewell to General Liu and came out of the general's mansion, he took his personal soldiers to Zhou Jicheng's mansion and gave a few brief instructions to Uncle Fu and the two brothers of the Han family.

He led out the horse, mounted it, and followed his personal soldiers to the government office in Dingzhou City.

After hearing what Xu Miao said, Uncle Fu and the Han brothers went to greet the government and then went to recruit people outside Dingzhou City. They also hurriedly led horses out of Zhou Ji's mansion and rushed to the outside of Dingzhou City.

Xu Miao followed General Liu's personal guards to the government office, and the personal guards explained Xu Miao's purpose to the city lord.

The city lord replied with a smile on his face, "Miss Xu, go outside the city and choose. I'll have someone go with you in a while."

"You can recruit as many outsiders as you want from outside the city."

"I sent someone to take the official who manages the household registration to the outskirts of the city to work on the spot. They immediately registered the household registration of those outsiders in your Hanjia Village."

The mayor was quite efficient. He not only supported Xu Miao in recruiting people outside the city, but also took into consideration Xu Miao's household registration.

With the support of the city lord, Xu Miao rode his horse and led his personal soldiers to rush out of Dingzhou City.

Xu Miao wanted to resolve the recruitment issue as soon as possible. She was still thinking about the transaction between Village Chief Han and the barbarians.

Not to mention how dangerous this deal is, Village Chief Han and his men don't know if they can get out of it unscathed.

Even if there was any problem with this deal, she would have a hard time explaining it to Zhou Jicheng and General Liu.

General Liu had just supported you in recruiting people outside the city when Hanjia Village had an incident of private transactions with the barbarians.

Isn’t this a slap in the face!
