Chapter 123: This is called a refugee?
After bringing my second aunt and her daughter home, the task of naming the girl was given to Si Chenan.
After careful consideration, Si Chenan named her Ling, and her full name is Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling is younger than Jiang Yan, but she is also sensible. When she learned that she had a name and would be able to study at Sister Ning's house in the future, she was so happy that she snuggled tightly in her mother's arms.
"Ning girl, how can we, mother and daughter, thank you?"
"We are all family, why are you thanking me?" Jiang Sining said, "But aunt, do you plan to live with us forever, or should I build a new house for you next door?"
"No need for that," Wu Suyun said quickly, "I'll just build a thatched shed next to it, and we can live there. When I make some money, we can talk about other things later."
Jiang Si Ning shook his head and said, "A house is nothing. The bricks and tiles are made by ourselves, so they are not worth much. Then I will make the decision for my aunt and build a few more houses next to the wall of my house. If there is a door on the wall, it will not be considered two families. If there is someone who likes me in the future, I will invite a son-in-law to live with me."
Wu Suyun blushed when she heard this: "Why are you still looking for a son-in-law? My aunt doesn't want to get married again in this life."
"We'll talk about these things later." Jiang Sining said, "Let's rest today."
"Why take a break in the middle of the day? If there's any work to do around the house, just let me do it."
Seeing that she really couldn't sit still, Jiang Sining didn't try to persuade her any more and let her help Aunt Li and the others cook.
Now we have hired a lot of workers at home, and it takes several people to prepare meals every day.
Wu Suyun gladly accepted the new job and went to the river with Aunt Li and others to wash vegetables.
Jiang Sining's mountain is good in every way, the only drawback is that it is inconvenient to use water. However, now that a road up the mountain has been built and there are horse-drawn carriages, it is not too difficult to go down the mountain to get water.
As a result, as soon as Wu Suyun came down the mountain, she was seen by Jiang Hua.
How could this happen?
The silver she received isn’t even warm in her arms yet!
"You shameless bastard, why are you back here?"
Wu Suyun hated Jiang Hua so much. In fact, selling her was okay, but this damn old woman actually sold Jiang Ling as well. This was something she absolutely could not forgive.
But before she could open her mouth, the loud Aunt Zhang directly retorted: "What's the matter, Old Lady Jiang? You are happy to sell your daughter-in-law and granddaughter, but you can't buy two people from Ning's family?"
"What did you say?" Jiang Hua's eyes popped out, "That little bastard bought them back?"
"You old woman, be more careful with your words," Aunt Zhang said bluntly, "Stop calling me a little bastard. Ning is from a wealthy family now, she is many times more noble than you!"
"That's right, you old bitch, you're not even fit to carry someone's shoes!"
Jiang Hua was so embarrassed that her face turned red.
In the past she would have definitely fought back, but now Jiang Sining was the richest man in the village, with all the villagers working for her family, and she really didn't have the courage.
But after Wu Suyun and her daughter were bought back, they would be seen everywhere in the village from now on, and she really had no place to put her old face.
"Humph, do you think you can get good things by following her? Pah - in the end you will be tricked by her and die without knowing how!"
Seeing Jiang Hua fleeing in panic, everyone ignored her.
Anyway, in Liuyun Village from now on, Ning's family will be the only one in charge. If her husband wasn't an exile, the position of village chief would have belonged to her family.
Jiang Sining didn't know what was happening down the mountain, but was calculating how much more space could be placed.
Now, food, vegetables and fruits are sent back from Xiashan every day, cattle, sheep and spices are also bought back regularly from Qingyu, and the coal mine in Qiuhe has an endless supply.
According to her rough calculation, these supplies are enough to ensure the survival of 10,000 people for three years.
If we continue to operate like this, it will be more than enough to survive the natural disasters in the next few years and then live a happy life.
But, now that I have the opportunity to come to the world in this book, can I really just lie down?
This body is only 14 years old now, and it still has at least another or years to live. Is she just going to live like this and wait for death?
She felt that it would definitely not work.
But what else can we do?
In the next few days, Jiang Sining did nothing and fell into deep thought.
Finally, she decided that since she was already here, she should leave something in this world.
For example, modern medical techniques, metallurgical technology, and various small inventions.
She doesn't seek to make this world a high-tech world, but it wouldn't be too much to have bicycles, steam engines and the like in the future, right?
To develop industry, you need steel.
But this thing belongs to the official system of the government. If you make too much of it, you will be investigated. Therefore, the idea of mining iron ore in Daxia is not very realistic. You can only get it from abroad.
So she gave Xia Shan a new purchasing task: to buy iron.
Whether it is kitchen utensils or farm tools, as long as it is made of iron, just buy it.
Xia Shan had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Madam is hoarding a large amount of iron ore. This must be because she is preparing to make weapons!
Why are they making weapons? It must be a rebellion!
So when he received this new task, he didn't even have time to eat, and immediately ordered his men to split into several groups and start purchasing large quantities of iron products.
Because the prices he offered were relatively high, the local blacksmith shop treated him as a guest of honor and sold all the iron products in the shop to him.
This was far from enough, so Xia Shan asked people to set up stalls on the street to collect the goods. When the local people saw that he was offering such a high price, many of them sold the pots they had no use in their homes.
In less than half a month, Xiashan collected several tons of steel.
Jiang Sining looked at the iron products in the space with questionable quality. It was enough for the time being. The next question was where to forge them.
This is a difficult thing to do. The sound of hammering is so loud that it cannot be hidden.
Seeing that she had been frowning for several days, Si Chenan couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what's bothering you?"
"I want to find a place to work as an ironsmith."
Only then did Si Chenan realize that his wife had already quietly begun preparing to forge weapons!
Then as her husband, he would definitely do his best to help.
"Why not put it in the mountains?" Si Chenan said, "Dong Ling can take care of it."
Jiang Sining considered going to the mountains, but when she thought about the difficult mountain roads, she lost interest.
But it seems that this is the only thing we can do now.
So she asked Dong Ling to find a suitable place in the mountains. It had to be hidden and have a constant supply of water. She wanted to build a water-powered blacksmith workshop.
Dong Ling quickly found a place, which was seven or eight mountains away from Liuyun Village.
It is secluded enough and the water source is also very good, but the road is too far.
Even though Jiang Sining's current physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, and he even has deep internal strength, he still feels a bit overwhelmed after this trip.
The place Dong Ling found was good. It was a small valley with a large open space and a mountain stream with enough water to drive a large waterwheel.
Since he had decided to do it, Jiang Sining did not waste any time. After planning the location, he took out a large amount of bricks, cement and wood from the space.
"Ma'am, would you like me to find some people to help with the construction?"
"Where are you going to find someone?"
"Those refugees I rescued last time." Dong Ling said.
If he hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Sining would have almost forgotten that this kid got several thousand kilograms of food from her.
This is a good thing. Let those people come to help with the work and continue to give them food. It can be considered a good deed.
As a result, when she saw the villagers Dong Ling called, her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
I saw a neatly arranged team of a hundred men, all of whom were strong and energetic, and they were well disciplined and marched in unison.
Apart from the sound of footsteps, not even a single person could be heard talking.
She looked at Dong Ling and asked, "You fucking call these refugees?"
