Chapter 44: Too Fast! The Style of the Working People
Jiang Chen nodded.
While asking.
"During this period of time, have you selected all the strong men I asked you to choose from among the disaster victims?"
The five strong men all nodded in response.
"Reply, sir."
"We have selected nearly 200 strong men from among the disaster victims."
"Some of them are experts who have worked in the escort agency before."
“It’s only because of the flood that it’s in this state.”
When Jiang Chen heard this number, he turned around in shock.
"Two hundred people?"
The sturdy men saluted Jiang Chen.
I thought I didn't explain it in enough detail.
Added again.
"Sir, we have already asked what they meant."
"They have received your kindness and are willing to follow you."
"I am willing to risk my life for you."
Good job.
Use the food distributed by the emperor to win over the hearts of his people.
Jiang Chen felt that this was a huge profit.
"Very good, this number can form a team."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
The five strong men were extremely horrified at Jiang Chen's thanks.
He bowed to Jiang Chen again.
"I don't dare!"
"Please use me as you like, sir!"
"Don't thank me!"
"As long as the master gives the order, I am willing to die immediately!"
Jiang Chen: “…”
"That doesn't have to be the case."
"Where are the two hundred strong men now?"
The strong men replied.
"My lord, it's just ahead."
"The land you divided has now been distributed to the disaster victims."
"Some disaster victims had no other advantages, so they were given more land."
"Some of them are wandering with their families."
“We also got more land.”
"The rest of the families with only one person left, those with a skill, have been picked out."
"Either you will be taken away as a craftsman, or you will be a guard."
"If there is really no use for it, we can only farm."
The sturdy man spoke clearly and logically, and he was the one who initiated most of Jiang Chen's questions.
Obviously, he is the one with the most ideas among the five.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but favor him more.
"May I have your name?"
"Your Excellency, I don't have a name."
"But I am the third child in the family, so I got the nickname Gan Lao San."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Very good, Third Brother."
"You are quick in your words and deeds."
"Please take care of things here from now on. I'll come to you directly if there's anything."
Gan Laosan's face lit up with joy.
He knew in his heart that he was highly valued by Jiang Chen.
Facing Jiang Chen.
He said loudly.
"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Jiang Chen nodded and continued walking forward.
I saw a grave mound appearing in the distance.
These are the human bones sorted out by the victims.
Come closer and take a look.
There was an unnamed tombstone erected in front of the grave.
A small platform was built in front of the monument.
There are some food placed on top.
This can also be considered as a memorial service.
Seeing Jiang Chen looking at him, Gan Lao San scratched his head.
"Sir, do you dislike the presence of graves here?"
"How about moving this grave?"
Jiang Chen heard this and waved his hand quickly.
"Need not."
"Just stay here, it's okay."
"There is a grave at the entrance of the village, the feng shui is very good."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the third brother chuckled.
He also understood in his heart that Jiang Chen didn't care much about such things.
Then he continued.
"Sir, if it weren't for you taking me in."
"We are still out there, and we don't know what it feels like to have a full meal!"
"Let alone these human bones, what kind of dead bodies have we not seen while wandering outside?"
"Now that we have occupied their land, it is unreasonable not to build a grave for them."
"I heard that lonely ghosts are always bullied."
"We hold memorial ceremonies for them every day. We hope that when they die, someone will still care about them and they won't become wandering ghosts."
Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment.
Whether in the previous life or this life.
I have never experienced life after a disaster.
Therefore, he could not empathize with their thoughts.
But respect it wholeheartedly.
"That's it. Very good."
Repeated what he just said.
Jiang Chen and his companions quickened their pace.
Finally, they walked over the small hill and saw an open area in front of them.
This is the place Jiang Chen drew for the disaster victims to cultivate land.
Not far from the plain, there is a big river.
No matter what you plant.
As long as we dig canals to divert water, the problem of irrigation can be solved.
Looking at that place, Jiang Chen widened his eyes in surprise.
"The house was built so quickly?"
The last time I came here, it was a flat area.
Now there are many more houses.
There are many of them and they have different styles.
From a distance, they look like small corns .
Gan Laosan was surprised to see Jiang Chen.
He quickly explained.
"Sir, there are quite a few skilled craftsmen among the disaster victims."
"Besides, the victims have been wandering for so long, and finally have a place to stay."
"Of course it is urgent."
Jiang Chen took everything in.
I couldn't help but feel complicated.
Under the rule of such a court.
When a country prospers, the people suffer.
When a country dies, the people suffer.
Those big iron pots were still gurgling.
Because we are in the mountains, what is cooked in the pot is not just rice porridge.
They also added meat such as wild rabbits from the forest.
“Is there anyone among these disaster victims who knows how to hunt?”
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.
Gan Lao San listened to Jiang Chen's questions one by one.
Then I also knew that this adult had never suffered any hardship.
So he explained patiently.
"Sir, of course there is."
“Now is not the season for planting.”
"So the victims not only ate rice porridge, but also went up the mountain to hunt."
"Some village women would also go together to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables to eat."
"If each person eats a bowl of this porridge with meat flavor every day, they won't feel hungry all day long."
Jiang Chen nodded and said.
“Such days will soon be gone.”
"When the weather warms up, I'll take you to buy some seeds."
“In less than a year, you will be able to live the same life as before the flood.”
Gan Lao San glanced at Jiang Chen.
My heart is filled with a sour and warm feeling.
"Thank you, sir."
Jiang Chen waved his hand and walked towards the large iron pots again.
I saw many people gathered around the iron pot.
Among them, there was a strong man who stood out.
He is of extremely tall stature.
Even though he was skin and bones, his tendon muscles were still large.
He has a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very tough.
Seeing this person, Gan Laosan reminded him.
"Sir, this is the man. He used to run an escort agency and is skilled in martial arts."
"And this man is a man of justice, even though his family business was destroyed by the flood."
"I also took my brothers everywhere to do some odd jobs as thugs."
“This will fill my stomach.”
Jiang Chen nodded and couldn't help but look at the man with a little more admiration.
It is difficult to survive in troubled times.
Not to mention bringing brothers along.
When the burly man saw Jiang Chen, he was stunned at first, then he greeted him politely.
"Sir, you are here!"
His voice was so loud that it immediately attracted all the attention around him.
Suddenly, everyone knelt down.
Jiang Chen waved his hand.
"Get up."
Everyone stood up and then dispersed.
Jiang Chen asked the burly man .
"What's your name, warrior?"
