Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

Qiao Ran nodded:

"Well, I plan to let my second uncle be the shopkeeper, and recruit a few men from the village to be clerks. Do you have any other suggestions?"

Mo Beihan smiled, and then said sincerely:

"I thought if you guys need some help, I could bring some veterans over."

"They are all retired veterans of the Dingbei Army. Some of them are actually still very young, but they are just injured and are not fit to go to the battlefield again, nor can they do heavy physical work like carrying heavy bags at the dock."

"But they can still carry some food, fruits, vegetables, etc. Besides, they have skills, so if someone comes to the shop to cause trouble, they can stop them."

After hearing what he said, Qiao Ran actually thought about it seriously.

"That's not impossible. The villagers are very busy now, busy growing crops, fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs. The silk workshop and the future agricultural product processing factory will also need a lot of manpower. I'm worried that there is not enough manpower in the village!"

"But I don't want to recruit people from other villages. After all, people's minds are complicated. What if those people see that people in our village live well and become greedy or bribed? That would be bad. The veterans you introduced should be reliable, right?"

Mo Beihan nodded seriously and promised solemnly:

"Don't worry, I will definitely introduce you to someone with reliable character. I won't trust someone who is not trustworthy to your family. It's just that..."

He hesitated for a moment, his voice a little low:

"But, many of them are disabled, and I'm afraid they will scare away the customers in your shop."

Qiao Ran thought about it and happily agreed:

"Okay, then help me choose ten reliable ones who are also quick-witted and eloquent. As for wages, it's two taels of silver a month, not including food and accommodation. My shop sells agricultural products, and usually servants and stewards from wealthy families come to buy. I don't do business with young ladies, so there's no need to worry about scaring people away."

Mo Beihan said happily:

"Okay! Ranran, thank you on behalf of the veterans! It's great that you're willing to take them in. Two taels of silver is too much, isn't it? They do odd jobs at the docks and the market, and only make a few hundred or even a few dozen coins a month."

Qiao Ran shook her head: "You're welcome. Two taels of silver is not a lot. If the shop's business is booming and we make a lot of money, we will give them bonuses."

Mo Beihan was very moved:

"Thank you! Ranran, you are so kind! Thank you for accepting them! I also use veterans in my farm, but there are too many retired veterans, and the farm really can't support so many people."

"In that case, bring them to me tomorrow and I'll use them if they're suitable."

"Okay! No need to wait until tomorrow, I'll go pick the people right now and bring them over this afternoon!"

Mo Beihan left the guards to clean up and hurried away with a few people.

In the afternoon, Mo Beihan indeed brought ten people over.

Some of these people had a broken leg, some had a broken arm, some were blind in one eye, some had lost an ear, and some looked healthy, but when their clothes were lifted, long, hideous scars were revealed...

Mo Beihan pulled Qiao Ran aside and whispered:

"I carefully selected these because they looked good. The others were more seriously injured, so I didn't let them come. You can see if they are suitable. If not, don't force them. I have already told them that I am just bringing them here to take a look. I will continue to find work for them in the future."

Qiao Ran looked at the men who were standing in a row with slightly nervous expressions.

Seeing that they were all looking at her with hope, Qiao Ran couldn't say no.

"If you think they are trustworthy, then I will accept all of them. But the shop cannot be opened for the time being. After the village has harvested the grain, they will harvest the fruits and vegetables, and then we can sell them in the shop. Ask them to come back to work in half a month!"
