"Okay, I'll listen to you, thank you."

Lin Yiran looked at the four people and found that each of them had their own specialties: one could embroider, one could cook, one could drive a carriage, and the other one looked quite clever.

You can definitely give it a try. Time will tell. This is just a preliminary selection.

"Shang Lu, these four people are in your care."

"Yes!" Shang Lu clasped his hands together at his lower abdomen, looked at the four agents with his head held high.

"You guys come with me."

The four agents looked up at Lin Yiran in surprise and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you..."

After Shang Lu left with the four new servants, Old Madam Xiao and her three daughters-in-law also selected the people in their own courtyards.

Old Madam Xiao selected two agents, a man and a woman, one to serve her personally and the other to be in charge of the doormanship.

Wan, Su, Yun and her two sisters-in-law each selected two maids.

Ever since their husband died in the war, there has been no male adult in their courtyard, and they have become accustomed to using maids.

Xiao Yunzhan selected five servants. He had been accompanied by servants since he was a child and was not used to having maids.

Five servants are not enough. Such a big yard and warehouse door need someone to man it.

However, among this group of agents, he could only choose these five people who were still useful.

The human trafficker looked at the 40 brokers he brought with him, and saw that 17 of them were chosen by the Yongchang Palace. He was so happy that he couldn't suppress his smile.

He had sent many brokers to wealthy families, forty or fifty each time, and he was lucky if three or four of them were chosen.

He also wanted to bring more people, but the others were either too young or too old, or had no skills at all, so they would not be selected even if they were sent here.

He squeezed in two people, a cousin and a niece.

Neither of them was selected. What bad luck.

Seeing his disappointing nephew and niece, he couldn't even smile.

Prefect Tian was happier than the human trafficker. Prince Yongchang and all the generals had chosen people, which was clearly a way to give him face.

His attempt to show goodwill was very successful.

After watching the trafficker hand over the indenture to Old Madam Xiao and take the silver and leave, he looked at Xiao Yunzhan with a smile.

"Your Highness, the county magistrates and other officials from the various counties of Shuitian City are still guarding outside the Yongchang Palace."

Yesterday, Xiao Yunzhan said that he wanted to have a talk with the officials of Shuitian City. He did not dare to let those people go back as they were waiting for King Yongchang's instructions.

Xiao Yunzhan thought of the matter of placing the Lin family army beside the county magistrates and nodded slightly.

"Let them in."

Those who need to be placed should be placed, and those who need to be confined should be confined, all of which must be arranged early.

Soon, all the officials of Shuitian City poured into the front yard of the Yongchang Palace.

"All the chief clerks are here to collect the seeds."

Lin Yiran looked at the huge crowd of people and saw the chief clerk following the county magistrates. She immediately waved her hand and led the confused chief clerk towards the warehouse.

Not only did the chief clerks look at each other in confusion, but the other officials were also confused.

Just yesterday I planted corn seeds that I had never seen before, and today I have seeds again?

They were extremely curious about what new seeds the King of God had bestowed upon them.

Prefect Tian frowned and waved his hand at the confused chief clerk.

"Hurry up and follow General Long. Don't delay anything."

"Tongzhi Fang and Tongpan Zhou should also go and take a look. Anyone who is free should be assigned to this position."

Prefect Tian turned and spoke to the two officials behind him.

Fang Tongzhi was stunned for a moment, looked at Prefect Tian intently, curled the corners of his lips, and followed Lin Yiran to the warehouse.

Logically, although he and Zhou Tongpan were assistants to Prefect Tian, ​​they were not Prefect Tian's subordinates, but rather assisted the Prefect in handling official business.

In the past, Magistrate Tian had to discuss things with them, but now he actually gives them orders directly in the tone of a superior.

It seems that they have to be sensible and curry favor with King Yongchang and several generals to find a way out.

........

Lin Yiran distributed vegetable seeds to the chief clerks at a rate of 2 kilograms per household.

"Now let's have people carry these seeds back and distribute them to the people so they can plant them as soon as possible."

"Why don't you hurry up and ask the yamen runners to come and take the grain away?" Fang Tongzhi looked at the dumbfounded clerks and shouted,

"No need to wait for your superiors. Go back and distribute the seeds first. Planting vegetables is a big deal."

"General Long's words are the words of King Yongchang, so hurry and do as you are told."

These people are so tactless, why are they still hesitating? They are not sure whether they can keep their superiors, so why don't they just obey orders and do their job?

Those who had families in the capital were dismissed from their posts because of the mercy of King Yongchang.

"......Yes."

The chief clerk was stunned for a moment, but after hearing what Fang Tongzhi said, they immediately turned around and went to call for help outside the Yongchang Palace.

Soon, a large group of yamen runners followed the chief clerks and left the Yongchang Palace carrying bags of vegetable seeds.

At this time, Lin Changshou hurried to the Yongchang Palace with the selected people.

When he stepped into the Yongchang Palace, he happened to meet yamen runners carrying vegetable seeds.

Knowing that Lin Yiran was distributing vegetable seeds in the warehouse, he took his men straight to the warehouse.

These people are the smarter ones in the Lin family army, and they are also more literate.

They will be sent to the county magistrates to serve as spies. Those who are not smart must not be brought here. Such a good learning opportunity cannot be wasted.

"Lin Changshou, captain of the Lin Family Army, greets General Long!"

Lin Changshou looked at the officials at the warehouse door, then immediately knelt on one knee and saluted loudly to Lin Yiran.
