Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End
Chapter 82 World 234
Li Yinyin stopped walking and turned to them: "Just bring it."
“My surname is Lin. I was entrusted by the sisters to ask you, Master, about the long journey to the west and the constant wars between the various small countries. We are considering following you, but we are also worried.”
Li Yinyin replied, "Our embroidery workshop has always had trade routes to the Western Regions. If we are taking people with us, we will naturally travel with them. To ensure safety, I will also hire bodyguards and escorts to accompany us."
Lin Xiuniang then asked, "The master just said that if the whole family goes together, they can get their own land. How is that calculated?"
"The temporary plan is to allocate land to each household according to the number of people, including infants, with no less than three mu per person. Since you are working for my embroidery workshop, you will be allocated an extra ten mu of land, which can only be registered in your own names."
Li Yinyin was pleased to see the embroiderers below discussing it again before continuing, "You can let your family members cultivate these ten acres of land, or you can hire people to cultivate it. As long as it doesn't affect the main business of the embroidery workshop, you can handle it yourselves."
"It can be registered under our name?" Lin Xiuniang was stunned for a moment, then asked excitedly, "Can it really be registered under our own name?"
The Jiang Kingdom demanded that women be docile and submissive, and naturally, it strictly controlled women's private property. Moreover, there was much unfriendly public opinion in the Jiang Kingdom regarding households owned by women. Therefore, apart from the land that upper-class noblewomen received as dowry, it was almost impossible for women in ordinary commoner families to own their own land.
This problem only began to improve later, after Xi Jiangyue had grown up and together with Yin Hong, who had become a prince, offered suggestions. Even though their initial intention was because the Western Hunters had worried that if Xi Jiangyue didn't find a good match, it would be difficult to establish a female household in the future, they had indeed changed the status of women in the Jiang Kingdom. Therefore, they rightfully gained the support of many people in the Jiang Kingdom.
However, in the present day, it is still very difficult for ordinary women in Jiang Kingdom to own their own land, almost a pipe dream, so it is no wonder that Lin Xiuniang was so excited.
“You are working for me far from your homes, so naturally the land belongs to you,” Li Yinyin said without any sign of difficulty. “The country where I plan to establish the new embroidery workshop does not have a strict system for women owning land, so in this respect, it is different from the Jiang Kingdom.”
After all, it was a place conquered by her elder brother. Even if it inherited some of the Jiang Kingdom's systems, she was confident that she could change them. She had absolute confidence in this.
Seeing some of the embroiderers unable to hold back their tears, Li Yinyin felt a pang of sadness. If it weren't for her capable and doting older brother and sister-in-law, these embroiderers might have been a path she could strive for. And upon hearing this news, she might have been just as overwhelmed with emotion as they were.
After all, it's incredibly tempting to own something that belongs only to you.
Li Yinyin waited for a while, but they didn't speak again: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Lin Xiuniang and the others, who were too excited, quickly calmed themselves down.
Lin Xiuniang stepped forward and said, "There used to be some, but now there aren't any."
Li Yinyin understood what she meant.
Even if the distance holds a thousand and one disadvantages, requiring them to leave their homes and start anew, the ability to own their own property and not worry about losing it all when the system changes gives them the courage to travel far.
Li Yinyin memorized the faces of these embroiderers, waiting to observe their character later. Especially Lin, the embroiderer; she truly had the makings of a good manager.
Li Yinyin instructed the manager to compile the statistics and hand over the final list to her in early June.
The reason for giving them so much time was to allow these embroiderers to think things through. After all, she didn't plan to let them return until her elder brother had conquered enough territory after leaving Jiang Kingdom.
After walking around the embroidery workshop, Li Yinyin was a little tired, but thinking that she had come out for a long time, she should bring some snacks back to her sister-in-law and master, so she still went to Yunzhou City.
While waiting for the maid to return with the snacks, Li Yinyin suddenly heard a crying sound.
She lifted the curtain slightly to look outside and saw a dirty child being dragged into the alley by a strong woman.
The woman walked away cursing, "I wasn't watching you closely enough, and you ran out into the street and ruined your clothes like this. Your grandmother was so worried about you she almost fainted. Now that your father is back, I'll make sure he beats you!"
The child was pulled forward by her, not uttering a word in defense, his eyes filled with emptiness.
Some pedestrians who felt reluctant to stop were pulled away by acquaintances and hurriedly left.
Li Yinyin frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
When she saw the child raise his hand and reveal the mottled scars, she suddenly called out to the maidservant standing beside the carriage and whispered, "Go and see what happened."
Seeing the maid hesitate, she thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the cloth shop and wait for you."
Li's Cloth Shop was originally a property of the Li family, so there was no need to worry about her safety there.
The maid nodded, watched Li Yinyin get out of the carriage and enter the cloth shop, and then followed her with peace of mind.
Li Yinyin had only intended to buy some snacks today and hadn't planned to check the accounts, so she hadn't informed the cloth shop owner. But when the cloth shop owner saw her, he quickly came to greet her and led her to the resting room.
Li Yinyin waited for about an hour before the maidservant hurriedly returned.
“Miss, that woman is a trafficker. I found several abducted children and a beautiful young lady in her house.”
"What did you say!" Li Yinyin felt a wave of nausea. "You didn't alert them, did you?"
The maid quickly shook her head: "After I investigated, I rushed back to report."
When Li Yinyin heard about this, her first reaction was to report it to the authorities. But when she learned that there were beautiful girls among them, she hesitated.
If they pass through the government, these children and girls will surely be able to go home. But after they return home, the children can bring joy of being lost and found. But after the girls who have grown up return home, how many of them will still be alive?
"I remember Xiao Liu went to the security escort agency today. Go find him."
Upon hearing that Li Yinyin wanted to see him, Xiao Liu naturally dropped everything and came over.
When Li Yinyin told Xiao Liu about the situation, she asked, "If we rescue the girls and children privately and then hand the kidnappers over to the authorities, will we be able to prosecute them? Will there be any danger?"
After hearing her name, Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "If you want to save people, I can go and make the arrangements. But if you want to hand the kidnapper over to the authorities, I'm afraid it won't end well."
Xiao Liu turned his head to avoid Li Yinyin's shocked gaze and said to her, "Miss, why do you think that child didn't ask the people on the street for help? Could it be that he didn't want to?"
