Lu's Manor.
Ever since Lu Fan brought back more than one hundred poor girls from the dyeing workshop, there are now almost four hundred people in the Lu Manor!
More than four hundred people means four hundred mouths to feed.
Although Lu Fan has no shortage of money and food now, he still has to find something for them to do. He can't just keep them for nothing, right?
After making this decision in my heart.
Lu Fan asked Wang Dayong to gather everyone in the open space outside the Lu family manor.
now.
More than four hundred people gathered in the open space.
Among these people, there were the laborers that Lu Fan had recruited at the beginning... there were also the wealthy ladies who had escaped from Qingyang Town... and there were also the more than one hundred poor girls that Lu Fan had brought back this time, as well as Huang Bairong.
Everyone stood upright in the open space, waiting for Lu Fan to decide how to arrange them next.
After a while, Lu Fan came out from inside.
When everyone saw Lu Fan, they looked at him in awe as if they had seen their savior.
After Lu Fan came out, he glanced at the people he had taken in, cleared his throat, and said, "I called everyone here today mainly because I want to assign you the tasks you will do next! I'm sure you all know that it's not easy to survive in troubled times! So, since I'm kind enough to take you in, I hope you can work honestly for me! Otherwise, if I take all the trouble to support you and you don't know how to be grateful, don't blame me for being rude then!"
Lu Fan's words were simple, direct and easy to understand.
Hearing Lu Fan say this, everyone nodded and said, "Please rest assured, young master, we promise to obey you in everything!"
"Um!"
"Then I will start assigning tasks!"
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he began to arrange the next work.
He asked Wang Dayong and members of the guard team to continue to be responsible for the security of Lu's manor.
As for the others, Lu Fan was responsible for arranging their daily lives.
The other part was asked to grow crops and food.
This hill now belongs entirely to Lu Fan, so there are a lot of wastelands.
With wasteland, Lu Fan can grow crops.
With food, Lu Fan can feed them continuously.
After Lu Fan finished giving the instructions, everyone was delighted.
After arranging everyone's tasks, Lu Fan said again.
"In order to better supervise everyone's work progress, from now on, I want to select a steward to manage your daily life for me!"
When they heard that Lu Fan was going to choose a butler, they were all stunned. They thought, who is the young master going to choose to be the butler?
"As for the butler, I'm going to choose Manager Huang!"
At this time, Lu Fan suddenly pointed at Huang Bairong in the crowd.
Swish!
Everyone's eyes turned to Huang Bairong.
Huang Bairong, who was standing in the crowd, was stunned for a moment when he heard that Lu Fan wanted him to be the steward of the City God Temple, his face full of disbelief.
"Manager Huang was once a wealthy lord in Qingyang Town, and he treated everyone with sincerity and kindness! I believe that with him as the chief steward of my City God Temple, he will definitely treat everyone well and manage you well!"
After saying that.
Lu Fan smiled at the already stunned Huang Bairong and said, "Boss Huang, are you willing to be the head steward of my City God Temple from now on?"
Shopkeeper Huang was so moved that his voice was choked with sobs.
Although he was indeed a wealthy and powerful gentleman in the past.
But ever since the bandits entered Qingyang Town, his family property had been completely robbed by them! To put it bluntly, Huang Bairong was now like the other refugees, with nothing!
But he never expected that at this time, Lu Fan would actually let him be the chief steward of the City God Temple!
What does the butler mean?
This means that apart from Lu Fan, he is the only one who can make all the decisions in the entire City God Temple!
"I...I...I do!"
Huang Bairong choked with excitement after hearing this.
"That's good! From now on, you will manage this place for me!"
Lu Fan smiled.
The reason why Huang Bairong was made the steward of the City God Temple was because Lu Fan was busy practicing and had no time to manage it personally!
The second reason is that Huang Bairong used to be a wealthy landlord and had more experience in management than himself!
"Alright! Since Manager Huang has agreed, from now on, he will be the chief steward of our City God Temple! Remember, if I'm not around, you have to obey him in everything."
Lu Fan emphasized to everyone again.
Finally.
Lu Fan assigned tasks to everyone.
Looking at the more than 400 people in front of him, a smile broke out on Lu Fan's face.
Half a year ago, Lu Fan was a poor man who was about to starve to death. He never dreamed that half a year later, he would be able to feed so many people!
Moreover, I have no worries about food and clothing!
Thinking of everything, he couldn't help but touch the magic gourd on his back!
After arranging everyone, Lu Fan returned to the cave in the City God Temple.
…
At the Lu family manor, on a piece of reclaimed wasteland, a dozen women in luxurious clothes were seen working there, complaining as they went.
Looking closely, these women were none other than the wealthy ladies from Qingyang Town whom Lu Fan had previously taken in.
"Why did our young master let those damn girls live in this City God Temple without asking for a penny?"
"And we want to stay here, but we have to pay one tael of silver a day?"
A beautiful woman couldn't help but complain at this time.
"Mrs. Wang is right! I know those dead girls, and it seems that they are all slaves in the dyeing workshop!" said another woman.
"According to what you said, our young master treats us differently?"
"Isn't that right?"
As everyone complained, they all started to feel unbalanced.
"Madam Wang, do you want to go find that young master and ask him what he means?" At this time, a wealthy woman said.
"Me?" The beautiful young rich woman called Mrs. Wang was stunned.
"Of course! You are the most beautiful and sexy among us! Just ask, which man in the world can resist your temptation?"
Several rich ladies said with a smile.
The beautiful woman called Mrs. Wang was not angry either.
Because in terms of beauty, she is indeed the most beautiful among them!
Moreover, she used to be the seventh concubine of the county magistrate!
"Okay! Since everyone trusts me so much, I'll go find our young master and ask him when it gets dark! I want to see what our handsome young master has in mind!"
Mrs. Wang deliberately puffed out her proud chest and blinked her beautiful eyes.
