The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing said, "There is no shortage of land in Fengying. As long as they want to settle down here, each male can get four mu of land, not a cent less."

Cheng Feng said, "Shang Xi, ask the servants to help you pack two pieces of clothing. I will go and tell Boss Qian later, and then we have to set off."

Wan Lianxing said: "Silly boy, the boss has experience in escorting goods, but he has no experience in picking up people. I have to send people to bring this person back in batches and by different routes. If these 30,000 people follow in such a mighty and blatant manner, the Wan family will be directly accused of rebellion.

Cheng Feng said: "I really haven't thought about it that much. I haven't figured out how these people will come. If they walk, they won't be able to come in three months. If they take a car, there aren't that many cars and horses."

Wan Lianxing said: "My uncle has thought about it. Let Sui Ming and Sui Ying take charge. It will be foolproof."

Shang Xi said: "Didn't you come to train the soldiers in the West Courtyard these two days? If he leaves, who will be responsible for the training?"

Wan Lianxing said: "I will practice, and I will lead them to practice."

Seeing Shang Xi was silent, Wan Lianxing said, "The West Courtyard has no shortage of generals who can train soldiers. If he doesn't go, it will be difficult to lead these 30,000 people. It's safer for him to go this time. Shang Xi, go home and pack your luggage. Before dark, he will be back. You should travel overnight. Cheng Feng, go and give a message to Boss Qian, thank him and your sister for me."

Shang Xi said: "Let me tell you first, the 30,000 people here include men, women, children and the elderly, and they are all families."

Wan Lianxing said, "I want this kind of people, both men and women, old and young. If there are only men and no women, they can't reproduce, and there will be no one to use in the future. Stop talking nonsense, pack your clothes quickly, and remember not to bring too much, so you can travel light."

Shang Xi said: "Oh, then I'll go back and pack up, and then I'll tell my parents."

Cheng Feng said, "Shang Xi, pack two sets of clothes for me too, and I'll go back with you."

Wan Lianxing said: "The journey is long. Whatever you want to do when you go back, just let Shang Xi go with them. With someone following you, you don't have to worry about safety."

Shang Xi nodded: "My uncle is right, I'm fine. You cooperate with Boss Qian to dig a tunnel at home." In Shang Xi's heart, this tunnel is more important than anything else. This is the hiding place of his son Cheng Youning.

Shang Xi left, and Cheng Feng also left.

Wan Lianxing also made arrangements. "Follower, you go to Mochun County and ask Ge Dongqing to tell him that I have important business waiting for them. Hurry up, I want to see these two people before dark."

"My Lord, they are both away on a long journey, what will happen to the ironworks?"

Wan Lianxing said: "You take over first, hurry up and refine the iron to forge the best weapons."

"My Lord, everyone around you has been sent out. Who will protect you?"

Wan Lianxing pointed at Huang Chenming and said, "Let Mingming protect me."

Seeing his attendant hesitate, Wan Lianxing said, "Don't delay. Recruiting people and smelting iron are both more important than each other. Let's do it quickly."

"Yes."

On the other side, Cheng Youning didn't know his mother was going out.

He was roasting duck with Qiao Rong.

Qiao Rong said, "Young Master, what about these two ducks? We can't finish them. Let's roast one next time. This is not prey. We raised it ourselves. If we can't finish it, it will be a waste."

Cheng Youning said: "I want to take one back home for everyone to eat."

Sure enough, after the two children had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned with a roast duck. When they entered the courtyard, they saw the old housekeeper. Cheng Youning asked, "Old housekeeper, I brought roast duck. Do you want to eat it?"

The old butler smiled and said, "Thank you, young master. I won't eat it." Then the old butler hurriedly left with two people.

Cheng Youning had no choice but to move forward and looked at the roof: "Master - Master -"

Suiying came out of the house and said, "Young Master, don't look for him anymore. Your master has gone out."

"Where did you go? When did you leave?"

"I went to Bianjing. I left last night."

"Why didn't you tell me? Can I still open my lock?"

Suiying said, "It will probably take your master a month to come back. If it doesn't work, then we won't open it."

"Suiying, I have roast duck here, would you like some?"

"No time, no more eating."

"What about my little grandfather?"

"The Marquis is discussing matters in the house and has no time." Suiying said a few words to Cheng Youning and left in a hurry.

Cheng Youning touched his mouth and said, "Let's go to my grandparents. They must be there."

He happily went to his grandparents' yard, but when he asked the servants, he found out that his grandparents had gone to his aunt's house.

Cheng Youning touched his head, looking puzzled: "Why are you all going to my aunt's house? Why don't we go to my aunt's house too."

Qiao Rong said, "Young Master, I think it's better for us not to go. Didn't the Young Master and Young Madam say that there is something to discuss at the Qian Residence? We children can't listen to them, so we'd better not go and cause trouble."

Cheng Youning grumbled, "Everyone is so busy that I can't see anyone. My aunt won't let me go, so where else can I go?"

Qiao Rong thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, let's go to the street and drink a big bowl of tea. You haven't had a big bowl of tea for several days."

Cheng Youning's bitter face immediately turned into a smile, "Then let's go."

Before the two children even reached the big bowl tea shop they often went to, they were recognized by someone, "Hey, why haven't you set up a stall for a long time? I can't even buy a roast chicken."

Cheng Youning suddenly had an idea, "I have a roast duck here, do you want it? It's fat and big." Cheng Youning opened the duck wrapped in grass leaves and showed it to the man.

The man's nose twitched. "What a nice smell! This must have been roasted over an open fire."

"You have a good eye. This is baked little by little over charcoal fire. Fifty cents."

"I bought it."

The man paid and left with the duck. Cheng Youning muttered, "It's a pity that I have so many repeat customers. This man is one of our big customers. He always sells roast chicken to us."

Qiao Rong said, "Young Master, several of your big customers are from other places."

“I can’t see it.”

"The locals buy cheap steamed buns, date cakes, and plum blossom cakes. They work so hard to make money, so who would spend fifty cents to buy roast chicken or roast duck? Didn't you hear that their accents are different from those of the people here?"

Cheng Youning shook his head. "I didn't hear it. They are all about the same."

Qiao Rong said: "Half of the people on this street are not from Fengying, they all moved here from other states and counties. They say that our Fengying will be richer than Chaizhou in the future."

"Really?" Cheng Youning casually agreed with Qiao Rong. Because he was too young, he didn't understand what Qiao Rong said. All he could think about was roast duck.

"Qiao Rong, I think we two still need to sell something."
