Chapter 314： plan

Mu Yangling felt sour in her heart, her voice softer, and asked, "Who brought you here?"

"I came with my uncle and aunt. My uncle worked as a strongman in the military camp, and my aunt went to the workshop. I also have a cousin and a cousin, and there is no food at home..."

Mu Yangling looked at the boy who was getting more and more embarrassed, and guessed that it was a good idea for his uncle and aunt to bring his cousin here.

Mu Yangling looked at the little radish heads on the grass. How many are orphans like him? Qi Haoran even put them all into the military household, presumably because he wanted to use it for a share of the land, but what about these children?

There are no adults, they can't even feed themselves, Mu Yangling frowned.

Mu Yangling could foresee that the money in her purse was disappearing rapidly, she touched the child's head and said, "Okay, follow your brother closely and don't run around."

The    boy breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled his brother to kowtow to Mu Yangling, then turned around and ran away.

When the time came, everyone started to put away the bowls and chopsticks to get the tools for work, because the bowls and chopsticks were prepared by themselves, so the person in charge of the food didn't need to clean them. Seeing Mu Yangling entering the kitchen, the people who were eating porridge quickly stood up stand up.

However, Mu Yangling brought two large sacks of flour and said, "This is white and black noodles, mixed with steamed buns, and fifteen pots of porridge are cooked at noon. There is Chinese cabbage in the next room, you can get it yourself, you all make it. A veteran of rice, 3,000 people should know how much to eat, so you can measure it yourself."

After thinking about it, although there are 3,000 people, most of them are children under the age of 8. Children have a small appetite, so there is really no need for so much.

Several people didn't want to lose this errand, so they were busy thinking about it.

Mu Yangling went out to be a supervisor, saying that he was a supervisor, but he also helped with the work, carrying the grass cut by the children onto the trolley, and then pulling it back.

These grasses did not grow naturally, but seeds sown by the Hu people in the past. After the Hu people retreated, no one took care of the place, but when winter came to spring, the seeds of this grass fell to the ground and grew again. No one has been grazing here last year, most of the grass seeds fell to the ground, and because of the wind, the grass grew very lush.

The reason why Qi Haoran helped her choose this place to be a cattle farm was not only because it was close to his horse farm, but also because the place that spread out twenty miles was no-man's land and pasture, which was very convenient for them. grazing.

But no matter how much grass there is, it will definitely not be enough to eat with the efforts of so many cows and horses. So next year, she has to plant more grass. I wonder if she can talk to the prefect and rent the nearby land to her.

While Mu Yangling was thinking about it, Qi Haoran had already rushed to her and asked loudly, "What are you thinking, why do you keep not answering?"

Mu Yangling straightened up, put the grass on the scooter, just glanced at him, and asked lightly, "Are you so busy?"

Qi Haoran jumped off the horse and said proudly: "Now the deputy can supervise the training well, and there is no need for the master to follow from time to time. It's like you and Zijin, you can do everything yourself, and you can't be busy."

Then Qi Haoran talked about the principle of knowing people and making good use of them.

Mu Yangling said in distress: "Of course I also know that you need to know people and make good use of them. It is impossible for me to do everything myself, but who is there under my hands?"

"I told you to buy a few minions, so that you don't have to worry about your home."

Mu Yangling shook his head, "My family is not used to slaves, and I don't want my younger brothers and sisters to develop that kind of bad habit. It's better to do it yourself."

Qi Haoran was not convinced: "Why is it a bad habit to use slaves? I have used it since I was a child, I am not a good person?"

Mu Yangling was stunned for a moment, and when he saw his puffed-up look, he smiled and said, "That's not what I meant, it's just that our family is a village family. Whose children are not thrown to the ground when they are four or five years old? I don't force it. It’s already a good idea to let them go to the ground, but we can’t let them get into the habit of opening their mouths with food and reaching out for clothes.”

Mu Yangling handed the scooter to a child, dragged Qi Haoran to the no-man's place, and said, "I have something to discuss with you."

Qi Haoran made a gesture of listening.

"You brought back so many children this time, what are you going to do?"

Qi Haoran said distressedly: "I don't know, when I said that I could give them travel expenses, I just hoped that all those other than the young and strong would leave, but who would have known that they were so smart and weak that they all stayed. There are more than 700 orphans alone... But there are advantages, I put them all as independent households as military households, and get a lot of military fields, and then rent them out, and the money should be able to support themselves."

Mu Yangling could not wait to knock him on the head, "Do you think that the people of Hanzhong Prefecture lack land for farming? The prefect of the prefecture has allocated land to each family as soon as it came up, and military households, military households only have one in their military fields. Hundred acres, not to mention the Yongye Tian allocated, who do you think will rent the land for those children?"

Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide and stammered, "Then, what should we do? We can't keep asking the Lord to keep them, right?"

Mu Yangling frowned: "Are their lands far apart?"

"Not far, in order to facilitate the rental and management, I will get all the land for the orphans."

Mu Yangling gritted his teeth and said, "I rented it all."

"Are you crazy?" Qi Haoran couldn't help jumping up and shouting.

Mu Yangling shook his head, "I originally planned to build a nursery for all the orphans to live in," Mu Yangling looked at Qi Haoran, "Don't tell me that when you called your subordinates to build houses, Their share is also built."

Qi Haoran touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "Don't you want the people who rented their land to take the children back to raise them? Now that the time is tight, the big guys can't build so many houses."

Mu Yangling looked at him disapprovingly, "Then you can't give the child to the tenant, who knows if they will treat the child well?"

"I originally planned to build a kindergarten, put all the children in, manage them uniformly, and then invite a few gentlemen for them, recognize a few words, learn some crafts, um, and teach them to farm and weave, fourteen years old. Come out later, then you will be responsible for their house, and I will return the land. I thought it was a loss-making business. Since you plan to rent out their land, then rent the land to me as a reward. ."

Qi Haoran felt that Mu Yangling was here to take advantage of him, but even if he wanted to rent land, he probably wouldn't be rented.

So he should go.

Neither of the two asked the orphans. There was really no need to ask. The youngest was just over a year old, and the eldest was only in his early twelfth year.

"You have to build the house for the kindergarten for me. When I look back, I will ask someone to draw a picture, and you will ask someone to build it according to the drawing." Mu Yangling couldn't help but sigh that it is good to have a lot of help at this time. Just a swipe.

"Do you know how much it will cost to raise more than 700 children? I won't mention the annual food, just two seasons of clothes, money for medical treatment and medicine, not to mention, you have to invite a husband for them..."

Mu Yangling looked at Qi Haoran seriously and said, "Children are the future of a country. If we can't even protect our children, will our country still have a future?" Mu Yangling sighed when he said this, "I I really admire Yuanhui, how did he bring these people together? Could it be that all the orphans, the old and the weak in Tongchuan Prefecture are concentrated here? Otherwise, why are there so many orphans, the old and the weak?"

Qi Haoran didn't dare to answer "yes", because the truth is almost the same, Yuanhui seems to be the same to everyone, but in fact, she is more soft-hearted and tolerant towards the elderly and children, so she saw the old along the way, accepted it, and saw it. The small ones are accepted, and the old ones are taking the young ones, and they are also accepted, but the young ones are taking the young ones and the old ones, and they are skipped.
