Manager Li seemed to have long been accustomed to the situation where others did not respond to him.

"If you don't say anything, I will assume that you all understand. Don't be confused in the future, and don't come to me for mercy!" His voice became much louder.

What is there to not understand after hearing this? The subtext is that if you really do something wrong, he has the final say on whether to punish you or not.

As for how much benefit you need to give when you ask him for help, it depends on what conditions he offers.

In fact, having such a cheap person may not be a bad thing.

What I'm afraid of is the kind of person who is so stubborn that when he really needs to go to the bathroom, he's completely clueless and doesn't know who to turn to.

"Since there are so many of you, I have two ways to accommodate you for you to choose from."

"I'll tell you guys first and you can discuss it. Don't accuse me of being unkind later." When Manager Li said this, he could not hide the smugness on his face.

To be honest, it was the first time that he received so many exiled prisoners, and they were all high-ranking officials from Shangjing.

There was a time when, given my status and position, it was simply impossible for me to meet such a powerful person.

However, today, he was able to take charge of the fate of so many people, and his vanity was indeed greatly satisfied.

So what if you were once glorious?

Now you have to rely on my breath and live according to my mood?

For these prisoners, it was normal for some of them to die or be injured during exile.

After arriving at the place of exile, casualties were out of control, and no one cared when reporting the number of people to their superiors.

Therefore, this small manager can be said to have the power of life and death over these people!

Seeing that these people still didn't respond, he cleared his throat and stated the rules.

"First, each of you and your family will be divided into groups and assigned to live in different villages, each managed by the village chief."

"The second option is to arrange for all of you to go to the wasteland, cultivate the land, and settle down."

"I will select a suitable person from other villages to be the village chief of your village and manage you all under a unified management."

"These are the two options. Think about it and decide which one to choose."

"But let me tell you one thing first. You can only choose one of them. You can't choose to enter the village and open up the wasteland at the same time."

"I'll give you one night to think about it. Give me your answer tomorrow morning."

"If you haven't decided by then, I will make the decision for you." Manager Li said with great pride. He felt that he was still very humane.

"Thank you for your kind reminder, Manager. We will give the answer tomorrow." Xu Zhimo took two steps forward and spoke to him calmly.

Li Chu looked up at the man who looked like a banished immortal. There was no sign of embarrassment or fatigue on his body. His face was ruddy and he looked calm and composed.

Her stunning appearance was a face that had never been seen even in paintings.

If he had not walked out of the group of prisoners, he would have thought that the other party was a practicing immortal who had traveled here.

Standing in front of him, I suddenly felt ashamed of myself and had to calm myself down so as not to lose my composure.

"It's good that you know it. Let's discuss it quickly and come up with a result so that I can make arrangements tomorrow!" He tried to make himself look confident.

Then he gave a few more instructions and left, leaving them all to rest in the open air overnight.

After Li left, everyone was extremely silent and quietly prepared dinner. No one mentioned the matter of settling down.

Under current conditions, being assigned to different villages is the easiest way to survive.

Because once the family arrived in the village, the village chief would arrange accommodation for them and allocate some land to them.

The weather is about to get cold, and solving the housing problem is of utmost priority.

However, this choice is not without disadvantages.

After all, they were just exiled prisoners, and their status was even lower than that of the local villagers.

If they were scattered to different villages as family units, they would easily be isolated in the village or even bullied by the indigenous people.

By then, everyone will be facing similar situations, and no one will have the extra energy to help others.

The other option is undoubtedly the best in terms of banding together for warmth.

These people form a village of their own. Even if someone is specially assigned to manage them, they will not be isolated and helpless.

If anything happens, at least you can get a lot of help.

But every coin has two sides, and this choice also has its pros and cons.

Not to mention reclaiming wasteland and farming, for the time being they don't have to rely on farming to make a living.

But the housing problem is imminent.

The weather was about to get cold, and without a warm shelter, they would probably freeze to death, if not starve to death.

The reason why they were so quiet and didn't discuss which option to choose was because they all knew too well that both options had inevitable disadvantages.

And they are all waiting for Zhao Lingshan to give a definite answer.

When no one can make a decision, we will rely more on her to make it.

Then no matter what difficulties they will face next, they will be less afraid.

Because of her presence, people can always feel strength in their bodies and hope in their hearts.

Zhao Lingshan also considered the problems that other people might think of, so she was also thinking quietly.

In fact, for her, it doesn’t matter whether she is beaten or not.

She and her team will not be easily bullied by others.

Moreover, she had more supplies than anyone else and had no worries at all.

If it were in the past, she would definitely choose the first one without hesitation.

She is actually considering the overall situation for everyone now, thinking carefully about which plan will be better for everyone.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she even ate dinner absent-mindedly.

"Master, don't worry too much. Just make a choice according to your own heart." Xu Zhimo saw her frown and couldn't help but persuade her.

Although these people want to depend on her, they are not her responsibility!

Helping is a favor.

Not helping is my duty.

He just didn't want to see her being embarrassed by these people and looking so sad.

"Master, you have already done your responsibility by bringing them here safely. There is no need to burden yourself with too much." Mu Wu stood beside Xu Zhimo and said with great concern.

She also lost her country, her parents and her brothers.

Just because she is more capable than others, does she have to take on these responsibilities that do not originally belong to her?

No, it shouldn't be like this!
