Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Blackrock Mountain, the village’s headquarters.

"East Street Guards? Isn't this a joke? When did the Black Stone Guards fall to this point?" A burly man slammed the chair, his face full of anger.

There was a crackling sound in the fire pit. The fire was lit in autumn. The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense.

Several team leaders and squad leaders sat together, arguing one after another.

"You can't say that. The food in the village won't last much longer. We have to think of a way," another man argued.

Siji stood at the door with a frown on his face. He had thought that things on East Street had already been resolved, but he had not expected that everyone in the village thought the same way.

"The lady's idea is to send a few people to help out in the next few days." According to his idea, just let a few guys who don't have any tasks go, after all, vacation = going to Que County.

"Hey! It just so happens that my ten-day holiday has arrived!" Niu Er grinned and glanced around. It's almost time for Qiqiao, and the clan will come to ask for people by then.

But he was unwilling to follow those uncles. He watched them eat and drink, and squatted while they visited the Red Mansion and flirted.

"You are the only one who has so many things to do. I don't know who was shouting that the East Street Guard is not good enough just now!" Si Ji raised his eyebrows.

Niu Er's eyes widened. "They are just a bunch of bastards. I think they should have been buried long ago. It's only the kindness of the lady that gave them food." The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "Even the old man in the guards can't get enough food. How can those filthy people get enough food?"

"The shop on East Street is the dowry of the lady." Wu Nu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up. Even us, several people suddenly understood.

After the lady came back, she lived in the inkstone pool and except for burning incense every three days, she seemed to have forgotten about them. She even went to the ancestral temple only when she was forced to do so. Since the ancestors didn't say anything, the lady was not in a hurry.

Zong Zhong's attitude was inexplicable. Some time ago, the third branch delivered this month's food rations and then said that subsequent money and food could no longer be bought on credit.

The copper kettle beside the fire was boiling. Niu Er poured a bowl of tea carefully, then retreated into the wooden chair without saying a word.

The middle-aged man on the first seat was dressed in a blue shirt, with a scholarly air between his brows and deep eyes with an indescribable sense of fatigue and indifference. He coughed twice and said in a gentle voice, "Too impatient."

"Sir, I know it's not very stable for the clan now that the queen has just returned, but these days have been very difficult for our brothers." Niu Er said dimly. He didn't care how the big men in the clan fought, he just wanted the old people and children in the village to have enough food.

Xie Changhuan stroked his beard lightly and said in a deep voice: "My brothers, the Second Lady is just a little girl, don't expect too much from her." He paused. No one in the clan had ever seen Xie Xian.

But in the past few years, Kang Jian's holiday gifts have all come from him. How could he not know that this little girl has a weak character and even the servants around her can't control her.

He passed the news on last year in the hope that Aye would make plans early, but Aye didn't care and just said to wait a little longer. This made the various branches in the clan start to have ideas.

However, Xian Er has stood up after returning to the sect. It is said that the black stone ring is also in her hand. This thing has great hidden dangers, so Min'er needs to give some advice.

A young man glanced at his master secretly, moved closer to Si Ji and whispered, "Captain Jia, what does East Street look like now?" He was really curious and wanted to ask just now.

"That place is a mess, a den of snakes and rats outside the city. Many shops inside have moved away!" Their guard post is only 1 to miles away from the county town, and it only takes one day to go back and forth, so they often go there on weekdays.

"That's why I say that you are a successful person. In less than a month, you have taken over the remaining shops on East Street." Si Ji raised the corner of his mouth.

Everyone: "!!"

"Are you serious?" Niu Er, who had been pretending to be dead, immediately jumped up.

He rubbed his hands and paced back and forth: "This is great! How can we let a few vagrants occupy East Street Guard? Why not..." I saw that he had some evil ideas.

Si Ji smiled bitterly: "Don't tell me you think the lady is really easy to get along with."

Wu Nu looked at Xie Chang Huan with a hint of hope in his eyes: "Your Highness has just entered Que County and you have cut off a brother. You are decisive. And Sister Min has also protected you a lot, which shows that you are loyal and righteous."

"Don't just say good things. I heard that the orphanage was razed to the ground and turned into a garden. The remaining children still need to obtain indentures. Humph!" Everyone knew that the orphanage was the last hope of the tribe members. If they really couldn't make ends meet one day, they would leave a way out for their children.

After he finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent. Wu Nu's face turned pale. He had only met Xie Xian once, but he had a strange impression of the lady. She seemed to care about money, but she didn't take it for granted like other young masters of noble families.

He didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment, so Niu Er took over.

"Hey! The orphanage was fine before, but other houses haven't given any good jobs in recent years." Some people in the guard were born in the orphanage, and later no one returned to Black Stone Guard.

In recent years, no one would send the kids there even if they had to tighten their trouser pockets.

Let's not talk about this for now. Siji was the only one who had seen Xie Xian. Seeing everyone looking at him, Siji felt hurt by their gazes and said hurriedly, "We are one of our own only after we have passed the indenture. Even Yudan'er is wearing new clothes."

"Yudan!" The boy serving nearby became excited. He and Yudan were cousins ​​and had worn the same pants and played together since childhood. If Yudan had not injured his leg and his father had not left and his mother had remarried, Grandpa would not have sent him away.

Gou Gen was happy to hear that his cousin was doing well now. He thought that there was nothing wrong with selling his body, as he didn't even have new clothes to wear.

"That's great," they didn't care about that, "So what about our arrangements this time?" Niu Er looked at them eagerly.

Si Ji turned his face away and said, "You are so proud. The lady said that she only needed 10 to 20 people. The Qiqiao Festival is coming in a few days. I am afraid that the East Street Guards will be too busy to handle it."

There are arrangements, but not much.

He was cautious, but he didn't dare to tell the lady about her unfamiliarity with him and others. She actually agreed that everyone who went would get 10 cents. How could one work for his master and still receive payment? It was as if she was avoiding them.

He was afraid that if he said this, they would be even more unhappy, so he decided to ask Madam Miao for some rice and grain.

At this moment, Siji felt like a soup dumpling sandwiched between the queen and everyone else, and he felt extremely tired.
