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

Finally, Xu Miao discussed with the city lord and decided to recruit some outsiders from outside the city to work in Hanjia Village.

These outsiders gathered outside Dingzhou City and would come into Dingzhou City sooner or later.

Dingzhou City has never been able to accommodate more of these people, and the city lord is worried that these outsiders will cause trouble if they enter the city in large numbers.

Now that there is a place to work in Hanjia Village, it is a perfect place to settle these outsiders.

The city lord wore a warm smile on his face. He turned his gaze to Xu Miao and asked softly, "Miss Xu, how many outsiders do you plan to recruit to your Hanjia Village?"

There was curiosity and anticipation in his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be able to melt the ice and snow in winter. His body leaned slightly forward and seemed to show that he attached great importance to the answer to this question. He was just waiting for Xu Miao to speak and resolve the doubts in his heart.

Thousands of people gathered outside Dingzhou City, and the city lord wished that Xu Miao could recruit them all away at once.

Xu Miao had already discussed with Village Chief Han how many people he wanted to recruit to work in Hanjia Village.

They wanted to recruit 100 people to go back to Hanjia Village first, and these 100 people had to be young laborers.

When Zhou Chenli sent the manager over, Xu Miao knew how Zhou Chenli wanted to pay the money from selling coal and then hire more people to work.

It is still unknown how Zhou Chenli plans to pay the money from selling the coal, and Xu Miao and his team do not dare to recruit more people back.

If too many people are hired and the coal mine has no market, they will not be able to pay the wages, which will cause big trouble.

Xu Miao looked up at the city lord, and a polite and gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, just like the ripples caused by the spring breeze on the lake, soft and friendly.

She bowed slightly and said to the city lord in a clear and firm voice: "Lord City Lord, we in Hanjia Village would like to recruit 100 people back this time." Her eyes were filled with determination and expectation, as if she had already seen these 100 people living and working in Hanjia Village and creating a better future together.

"Once this coal mine has a market, we will continue to recruit people."

The city lord didn't know that Zhou Chenli had come to Dingzhou City, but he knew that someone had told General Liu about the coal mine.

The general then sent troops to guard Hanjia Village.

After hearing Xu Miao's response, the city lord's eyes, which were originally full of expectations, dimmed a little, and the slightly upward curve of the corners of his mouth slowly collapsed as if it had lost its support.

He sighed softly, and in this sigh there seemed to be regret for not fulfilling his wish, and also a bit of helplessness about Hanjia Village's conservative plan.

His originally straight back bent slightly, as if pressed by invisible pressure, and his whole aura became a little depressed, like a child who was looking forward to opening a gift but found that it was not what he liked, and his disappointment was beyond words.

He also thought that Xu Miao and others could recruit a large number of outsiders to Hanjia Village. After all, mining coal requires a lot of manpower.

The city lord curled his lips and complained to Xu Miao, "Why don't you recruit more outsiders to Hanjia Village? How much coal can be mined by a hundred people? I think it would be enough if you recruited five hundred people at once."

The city lord wished that Xu Miao would recruit all the people outside the city at once. He was a little dissatisfied when he saw that they only wanted a hundred people.

Xu Miao smiled and explained to the city lord: "Lord City Lord, many supporting facilities in Hanjia Village are not ready yet."

"Recruiting too many people to Hanjia Village at once will leave them with nowhere to eat and sleep, and they might even cause trouble."

"We'll take our time recruiting people. Once Hanjia Village is ready, we'll recruit more outsiders. This will also reduce the burden on the government."

When the city lord heard what Xu Miao said, he also thought that Hanjia Village really couldn't accommodate so many people at once.

A few days ago, when he and General Liu went to Hanjia Village, they also saw what Hanjia Village looked like.

At that time, he was still thinking in his heart: How could a coal mine be discovered in such a desolate mountain and wilderness?

If he had known earlier that there was a coal mine in Hanjia Village, he would have come here to buy a piece of land. After all, land in the northern border is not expensive, and with a little money, he can buy a large piece of land.

Xu Miao and the city lord agreed on the number of people Hanjia Village wanted to recruit, so they didn't stay at the government office for long.

Xu Miao left the matter of recruiting people to the government.

She brought Han Lao San back to Zhou Jicheng's residence and found Uncle Fu. She wanted to ask Uncle Fu if there was any good grain store in Dingzhou City. A lot of people were coming to their Hanjia Village at once, and the problem of food for these people had to be solved.

Uncle Fu was so happy to see Xu Miao and Han Lao San again.

After hearing Xu Miao's story about looking for a grain store, he smiled and said, "Oh, it's been such a long time since I last saw you, and you're about to do big business."

"We need to recruit a hundred people to go to Hanjia Village at once, but we need to prepare the food first."

"Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the grain store. You don't even have to transport it back by yourselves; the grain store can deliver it to you."

"You are big customers!"

Uncle Fu laughed.

He wants to buy enough food for a hundred people at once. Any food shop owner would like such a big buyer.

Xu Miao and Han Laosan did not stay in Dingzhou City for long, mainly because there were too many things going on in Hanjia Village.

This coal mine has just begun preparation, and everything is starting from scratch.

She was a little worried that Xu Miao was not at home to keep an eye on things.

Recruiting people is a matter that the government will take care of. As for how these workers get to Hanjia Village, that depends on how the government arranges it.

They paid a deposit to the grain shop owner for the grain they wanted to buy and waited for the convoy to deliver it to Hanjia Village. They would pay the balance after inspecting the goods.

Xu Miao and Han Laosan returned to Hanjia Village. As soon as they entered the village, they saw Uncle Kang squatting at the entrance, as if he was waiting for someone.

Xu Miao rode his horse to Uncle Kang's side and asked him from his horseback: "Uncle Kang, what are you doing? Why are you squatting at the entrance of the village alone? Is there something wrong with the villagers of Kangzhuang?"

When Xu Miao saw Uncle Kang squatting alone on the side of the road, he thought something had happened to the villagers of Kangzhuang.

Uncle Kang stood up when he saw Xu Miao and said with a smile, "Master, you're back! Everyone in Kangzhuang is fine. I was just waiting for you to come back."

Xu Miao was puzzled: Uncle Kang hasn't looked for her alone for a while.

What big thing must have happened that he had to squat at the intersection waiting for her?

Seeing this, Xu Miao asked Han Laosan to go home first and tell Village Chief Han that they were back.

Then, he dismounted, walked over to Uncle Kang, and asked, "Uncle Kang, what do you want to tell me? Is it about the villagers of Kangzhuang?"

Uncle Kang nodded embarrassedly: "Master, it's Kangzhuang who wants to discuss something with you."

"Um... We in Kangzhuang have discussed and want to sign a contract with Hanjia Village. Master, do you think it's still possible to sign it now?"

Uncle Kang stammered and sighed deeply. He dropped his hands to his sides, staring at his feet, not daring to look up at Xu Miao.

After listening to Uncle Kang's words, Xu Miao asked, "Uncle Kang, have you looked for Village Chief Han?"

"Did Han Bo reject you?"

Uncle Kang lowered his head and said "hmm" weakly.

People like Kangzhuang are really greedy. When they see benefits for Hanjia Village, they flock to it like flies.
