Sister-in-law Zhou

This will not only relieve the pressure on the court, but also bring help to their farm.

Even if the refugees riot, those who are recruited to work by them will definitely stand with them for the sake of themselves and their families.

"Miss is kind-hearted, I'll do it now."

"Don't worry, there are still some things that need to be explained."

Lao Kang asked quickly.

"With so many people here at once, the first thing we need is a place to live."

"Do you see this wasteland?"

Lu Yaoyao pointed to the wasteland she had just spotted and continued, "This is not far from the barren mountains behind. There is a lot of wood there."

"What I mean is that you recruit people first, then organize them to go into the mountains to cut trees, and build dormitories in this open space to accommodate them."

"As for the blueprint, you can use the dormitory blueprint I gave you earlier and just follow that diagram."

"Besides, when recruiting people, they need to be paid for food, drink, and wages. We can't treat them harshly just because they are refugees."

"You must prepare enough meals for two meals a day. Since the weather is hot now, let me make some of the herbal tea I studied earlier and make sure that the workers can drink it at any time."

"There is also a working time. Now that the weather is hot, we can go earlier so that the lunch time can be earlier. Then we can let everyone rest for an hour to avoid the hottest time at noon before going to work."

"Daily working hours cannot be controlled within five hours."

Lao Kang wrote down everything she mentioned one by one.

"As for the families of those workers, you are trying to find ways to resettle them as appropriate."

"The more people there are, the more people need to cook. Let's see if we can let them come out to work and give them a salary or something."

"Remember not to be stingy. What we want is people's hearts. There is a high probability that these people will be the first batch of workers in our workshop in the future."

"Yes, I will definitely make arrangements next time, and I will never let you down."

They have enough food on the farm now, let alone feeding two or three thousand people, even if another two or three thousand people come, it won't be a problem.

As for wages, that's not a big deal. Lu Yaoyao had sent two to three hundred thousand taels of silver before, and there was still a lot left after including the money for food.

If he can't handle this matter even if he has money and food, then he should stop messing around.

Soon Lao Kang retreated.

"Qiu Yu, Qiu Shuang, please clean up. We will be living here recently."

It is really too hot in the city. Although it is also hot in the village, it is somewhat better than in the city.

Moreover, there will be many workers soon, and it is not convenient for her to control them remotely in the city. There is nothing to do in the capital anyway, so it is good to stay here and take command.

The two went down to work. She sat for a while, then remembered the mother and daughter who blocked the way just now, and got up and left the yard.

After a while, we arrived at the place where Mr. Lin lived.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the woman waiting under the eaves.

He saw a woman walking over quickly, and he knelt down to her.

"A common woman would like to thank the noble lady for her kindness."

"Sister, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Lu Yaoyao was startled and quickly stepped forward to help him.

"How is the child doing?"

"I don't know yet, the doctor hasn't come out yet."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded and continued, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin is a famous miracle doctor, and the child will be fine."

"Thank you, Miss Noble, for your kind words."

After a while, the door opened and Mr. Lin walked out of the room.

Just as he was about to speak, he looked up and saw Lu Yaoyao, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"Girl, are you back?"

"Well, I came back to do some errands. Mr. Lin, how is the child?"

The woman next to him stared at Mr. Lin with an anxious look.

"It's not a big problem, the main thing is that I'm too weak and hungry."

As soon as these words came out, the woman's face showed a look of shame.

"Sister, I don't blame you for this. No one wants to suffer natural or man-made disasters."

"Yes, the drought this time is very serious. My old man has never seen such a severe drought."

Mr. Lin also had a look of emotion on his face.

"Lady, don't worry, the child is fine. I've already checked it out. I'll give her some medicine later. When she wakes up and eats, I'll take the medicine again. She'll be alive and kicking in less than two days."

Hearing this, the worry on the woman's face disappeared, and she was filled with gratitude, and she knelt down to the two of them again.

"Thank you two noble men for your great kindness. I have nothing to repay, so I am willing to act like an ox or a horse to repay you."

"Why are you kneeling down again? Sister, please get up quickly. We don't want this."

Lu Yaoyao was a little helpless, why did people in ancient times love to kneel so much?

"Don't worry, you can stay at the village. Don't think too much about eating and drinking. I will ask someone to prepare it for you later."

"I don't dare to trouble the noble lady. You have already helped my mother and daughter so much. How can we be here for free?"

"Tomorrow, when the child gets better tomorrow, the little lady will leave. I don't dare to cause trouble to the noble lady."

In a year of great disaster and famine, every bite of food is valuable. It is already a huge kindness for someone to give her a bite and help her child with medical treatment. How can she stay and eat for free?

"It's not too much trouble. I came out of the city today just to recruit some people to work for me."

"If eldest sister is willing, you can stay and help me work. How about giving you and your daughter two meals a day, plus ten cents a day as wages?"

Hearing this, the woman was overjoyed, but she quickly waved her hands and said, "The little woman has rough hands and feet and doesn't know anything. I'm afraid she won't be able to help the noble lady."

"You have a kind heart, and this little lady must not cause any trouble for you."

"Sister, don't refuse in a hurry. In this situation, it will be more difficult for you mother and daughter to go outside. It's better to stay."

"I'm going to hire a lot of people this time, and I'll need people for cooking and other things. Sister, you should be able to do this, right?"

The woman nodded.

"That's fine. Then you can just help cook for other workers."

"Then thank you, Miss Noble."

"As long as I can have something to eat, I don't want to charge wages or anything else."

"You have to be paid for your work, so you don't have to postpone it, little lady. You can stay in this village with peace of mind. Miss Lu is a good girl. Help her well and I will definitely not treat you badly."

Mr. Lin said with a smile on the side.

"Yes, how can you do it if you don't charge wages?"

The woman was so grateful that she wanted to kneel down again, but Lu Yaoyao quickly stopped her.

"What's your last name, eldest sister? How do you call her?"

"I don't dare to take it seriously. The little woman's maiden name is Sun, and her husband's surname is Zhou."

"Then let me call you Sister-in-law Zhou, okay?"

Sister-in-law Zhou nodded repeatedly.

"I wonder if there is anyone else in Sister-in-law Zhou's family?"

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Zhou's expression darkened, and sadness filled her eyes.

"My husband is an orphan, and we are a family of three. Today, in the year of famine, we came all the way to the capital, and my family died on the way because of us and my mother."

"Your condolences"

Lu Yaoyao was a little apologetic.

Mr. Lin beside him also shook his head.
