Chapter 268 It’s too difficult for us!
Early in the morning, Ruan Qingqing was thinking about the next arrangements.
Matters such as mining iron ore, smelting iron, and making tools were left to Ge Lao and others, while the security of the three cities was left to General Zhang and his three sons. She was most familiar with people's livelihood and agricultural production, so it would be best for her to take charge of it herself. As for General Chi and his grandchildren, they were responsible for the supply of security reserve forces.
Cai Chang and his secret guards were responsible for collecting information and helping to build shops in various countries to sell their farm tools, iron blocks, red bricks, furs...
After deciding on the general idea, Ruan Qingqing began to think about where to continue to optimize. After some writing and drawing, Ruan Qingqing had some new ideas. If she wanted to become rich, she had to open up more sources of income first, so she had to focus on this aspect.
Thus, one command after another was sent out from the City Lord's Mansion, and Mo Men and General Zhang were busy in a stable and orderly manner.
After making sure nothing was missed, Ruan Qingqing stretched and went out for a walk.
At this time, General Chi had already started training with the other students. When Ruan Qingqing walked by, the chef and his assistants in charge of food in the City Lord's Mansion had just brought out breakfast for everyone.
It was still pancake and porridge, with a large plate of pickled radish and spicy cabbage.
Although General Chi was still a little confused, some things seemed to be engraved in his bones. For example, when he saw that the meal was coming, he immediately dismissed the little brats and asked everyone to get the food.
Everyone had a set amount of breakfast, one large pancake and a small bowl of porridge per person, but there was no limit on the amount of pickles. But a group of people would eat two large plates, and if they were gone, they were gone, and no more was ordered.
Ruan Qingqing couldn't help but frown after watching for a while.
"Master, it's time for breakfast! Do you want to eat in the pavilion or in the house?" Yue Linlang also brought her breakfast and asked her.
"Let's eat in the pavilion!" Ruan Qingqing still liked the lively atmosphere of eating with many people, even though the pavilion was a bit far away from everyone.
After taking a bite of the pancake, Ruan Qingqing asked Yue Linlang, "Linlang, have you noticed that the group of children led by General Chi seems to be much larger than yesterday?"
Yue Linlang put down the cake in her hand and counted them carefully, "It's a little more than yesterday."
At this time, Chi Jingxiao came over with his breakfast, "What are you talking about?"
"It seems that General Chi is taking care of more children than yesterday." Ruan Qingqing repeated.
"That's normal! After my grandfather trained these children, he would go out for a stroll and bring any beggars, orphans or children he liked into his mansion.
Beggars and orphans are relatively okay, but those children with families were really hard to bring back in the past. Now everyone knows that the City Lord's Mansion provides food and drink for the children. As long as they are played around by an old man in the City Lord's Mansion and have some fun, no one is unwilling to do so.
Some families even sent their children to my grandfather to help with spring ploughing, and then came to pick them up in the afternoon, saving the labor of taking care of the children. "
Ruan Qingqing's face turned black when she heard this. It turned out that her city lord's mansion had become a free kindergarten.
"Children over ten years old can help with housework, but basically no one is willing to send them here. Children aged three or four cannot walk steadily, so they can be sent here as much as they want without being able to help. They are also exempt from two meals a day." Chase also came to the pavilion with his breakfast and joined in the conversation.
The more Ruan Qingqing listened, the more she felt that the adults in the city of Bale were very generous and were not afraid that they would do anything bad to these children.
"Are they so confident?"
Chase glanced at her and said, "If it were somewhere else, the people might not be at ease. But in the City Lord's Mansion, they are very at ease!"
"Do they all trust me so much now?" Ruan Qingqing still found it a little ridiculous.
"What's the big deal? The tycoons have made great changes in their lives. There is less oppression and less taxes. Now that they know we have tacitly allowed them to send their children here, they are naturally rushing to send them here. This will also free up labor to open up wasteland and grow crops." Old Ge also came over with his breakfast to join in the fun.
Ruan Qingqing couldn't help laughing. "If there are more, our City Lord's Mansion won't be able to accommodate them! Besides, can General Chi handle it all by himself? The children are at the age of being naughty and mischievous."
"You don't have to worry about this, sir. This morning I saw a naughty child trying to play by the pond when General Chi wasn't paying attention, but was yelled back by a wolf." Yue Linlang was amazed. "Who would have thought that the wolf, which was known for its ferocity, would be so good at watching over children!"
Ruan Qingqing opened her mouth. Okay! Or maybe her imagination is too narrow!
She looked at Chi Jingxiao, "Brother Chi, your wolf army should have more than just the twenty wolves in the mansion, right?"
Chi Jingxiao swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and said, "Definitely not! When the weather gets warmer, I plan to go to Wolf Mountain to explore again. If there are other wolves or other animals, I will try my best to tame them."
"Why don't you just leave the wolves you tamed later in Wolf Mountain? After all, there is enough space and food there. I'm afraid our City Lord's Mansion can't accommodate more. Although I planned it as big as possible, it can't withstand the tossing of you two."
Ruan Qingqing said helplessly.
"Well, I also plan to put the rest of them in Wolf Mountain or some other mountain. Let them remain wild enough so that their fighting power will not deteriorate. If they keep hanging out with people like us, they will think of themselves as humans."
Chi Jingxiao agreed very much.
"It's not fatal that they think of themselves as human beings. What's fatal is that their stomachs are too big, and they will only eat meat. If another group comes, I think we should stop focusing on developing the three cities and the Mo Sect, and just focus on how to earn food money for the wolves." Old Ge said with a resentful look on his face.
Ruan Qingqing chuckled, "It seems that Mr. Ge has a lot of grudges about this?"
"How can it not be big? Each wolf needs to eat 20 to 30 kilograms of meat every day, especially the eight pregnant female wolves, who must eat 30 kilograms of meat for every meal. If they are not allowed to eat enough, they will definitely attack the poultry and livestock raised by the surrounding people. If Wushang had not taken them to the mountains to find food from time to time and brought back some reserve food, we really could not afford to support them!" Ge Laochou's face was full of wrinkles.
"How about this! Brother Chi, not only will the newly domesticated wolves stay in Wolf Mountain, but you will also come back every once in a while and take the wolves in the mansion out to hunt for food, so as to control the cost of raising wolves. In addition, we need to build wolf soldiers, but we must also protect the property of the people, and we must not allow wolves to hurt children!"
Ruan Qingqing instructed.
"Okay, I will pay more attention later." Chi Jingxiao nodded repeatedly.
"Boss, it's fine if you ask us to gather information, but asking a group of rough men who wield guns and sticks to do business is too much of a burden on us, isn't it?" Seeing that the wolf issue was resolved, Chase hurriedly talked about the matter of setting up a shop on his side.
