C2848 Trouble Is Hard to Break

Facing Minnan Nan's explanation, Jiang Ting's face turned cold. No one?

Although Yu Wen County was not big, there were tens of thousands of families. Even if one family came out, it was enough!

When Mu Nantian heard this, he smiled bitterly. "There is really no one here, and those old men... We did not force them to come. It was because they were forced to make a living and came to recommend themselves. I did not want to accept them, but the patriarch said that from now on, Yu Wen County cannot be frozen to death or something like that. That's why I took them here."

When he said this, Minnan Tian's face turned bitter again. "And if we especially relax with them... Saint Cloud, there are too many people but not all of them. If that's really the case, the others should have a problem with it. It's very likely that the work will be delayed."

Jiang Ting's brows quietly furrowed. Minnan Tian's words gave him a headache.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Ting opened his mouth. "Why is there no one?"

Minnan Tian looked at Jiang Ting carefully. "There are about three thousand households who have entered. There are many households here, so no one will lower their status and come here to work. There are many shops, peddlers, hunters, farmers..."

At the end, Minnan Tian shook his head," Apart from the many servants, there are very few free time. If we forcefully extract manpower from the various families, the operation of Yu Wen County will probably have a huge problem. "

Jiang Ting frowned. From what he heard from Minnan Tian, it seemed that there was indeed no problem.

As for the old people, according to what Mu Nantian said, there were 13 people who were over 60 years old, but they were not even 60 years old. There were almost 80 people in total, and they could be counted as half of the main construction workers here.

Moreover, these people were all quite poor. They did not have fields or anything like that. When they had the opportunity to earn money, they specially rushed here to replenish their household expenses.

The supervisors sent by Minnan Heaven only supervised and did not use whips or other things to urge them. This was already a great act of kindness.

Troublesome... Jiang Ting only felt that it was very troublesome.

The biggest problem was that after he recruited soldiers, he had greatly reduced the number of robust youths in Yu Wen County. According to Minnan Tian, the number of robust youths who were farming outside had decreased by a lot. Most of them were 'old men' who were over forty years old.

In general, there was a shortage of people.

Jiang Ting shook his head slightly and did not think anymore. "Where's the food?"

Qi Feng asked without hesitation. "Food. According to what they said, we should have porridge when we start work in the morning, white rice and vegetable dishes at noon, and dinner prepared by ourselves. There will be a meal of meat and vegetables at noon every three days."

Jiang Ting raised his eyebrows. It looked so clean and bitter.

Seeing this, Minnan Tian hurriedly said, "For these people, it's good that they don't starve to death. We even offered a salary. The conditions are very generous."

"They won't starve to death. ... It sounded very lowly.

Jiang Ting thought for a while and realized that what Minnan said was actually true.

It was already a great fortune for ordinary people to be able to eat and drink every day. Especially since Jiang Ting still needed to be in charge of the army's expenses. He needed to spend money everywhere.

It was already very fortunate that he could spare money here. How could he possibly have good food like the army?

Speaking of money, Jiang Ting's brows quietly furrowed. He realized that he did not care about money, but he knew that he did not have much money.

His current income was only a small amount after he took over the Wang Family's Luo Family's shop. The rest of it was all after he took over the Wang Family's Luo Family's wealth.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting patted Minnan's shoulder. "Work hard. Let's go."

Such a beautiful scene was just wishful thinking. What they saw now was the truth... There might be some darkness in the building that he had yet to see for the time being.

However, he was not interested in exploring it. His reputation was very good. If any injustice were to be blamed on him, he would not ignore it. ... There was no need to expose some tricks.

In this world, how could it be perfect?

In the midst of his thoughts, Jiang Ting left with Chu Bai and Qi Feng.

When his back was completely gone, Minnan Genius wiped the cold sweat from his face. Jiang Ting had come just now, and he looked like he was investigating. It really scared him.1

A person who looked like a servant approached him. "Young Master, are you really okay?"

Minnan Tian said with uncertainty, "I think you're okay."

When the servant heard this, he hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Young Master, the higher-ups have instructed us to be in charge of three meals a day. Now, we have those lowly commoners prepare their own dinner. ... Once General Jiang Ting returns, he will know after asking around a little."

"What does he know? These peasants still eat three meals a day?" Minnan Tian was instantly angered. "What does he know? Two meals is already merciful! "

After a pause, an ugly expression appeared on Minnan Tian's face. "It has only been two days since we started working here. But yesterday, we were cooking according to the stipulated three meals. "And the result? "These lowlifes had to eat silver money for two days. If I really did that, I wouldn't even be able to make up for my own personal wealth!"

Speaking up to this point, Mu Nantian turned around." Go and tell the Patriarch. Tell him everything that I have done without missing a single word. The Clan Chief will understand... and... Isn't Min Wen with Jiang Ting now? Get someone to call Min Wen over. I'll let Min Wen check his own accounting room. Let them take charge of it. I'm done!"

At the end of his words, Minnan Tian was somewhat flustered and exasperated.

...

After the incident, Minnan Tian did indeed have people look for Min Wen to go to the accounting room.

Su Jiu also told Jiang Ting the results. However, because he was short of money and lacked people, in the end, Jiang Ting discovered that it was just a small matter and there was no need to pay too much attention.

Soon, five days passed.

The county magistrate office.

In the afternoon.

Jiang Ting quietly cultivated in the courtyard. It was as if a day had passed. As for his strength... it did not matter if he did not mention it.

Ordinary people could not defeat him. If he faced soldiers, he could only choose to run away. Martial arts under the Last Days. Whether Jiang Ting practiced it or not, the upper limit was there.

It would not improve, nor would it decrease. It could only be said that practicing martial arts day after day, coupled with some supplements, could accumulate more inner energy. That was all.

"Young Master." Su Jiu approached from afar.

Jiang Ting stopped slowly. "Why did you come back so early today? Could it be that the three counties have a result?"

"Yes."

With a nod, Su Jiu walked to the door. "Just now, Gai Yi and the others sent spies to spread the news that Si Shui County, Ning County, and Lu County have all been conquered. The number of casualties is greater than what they expected. After all, they are just some new recruits who have just started training."

Jiang Ting's eyes slightly raised. "How many casualties?"

"They attacked 2,400 people from the three counties and lost close to 500 people." Su Jiu's voice was heavy.

"Such a huge loss..." Jiang Ting's expression darkened.

Attacking three defenseless counties had such a huge loss. If he were to fight with other soldiers in the wilderness, His soldiers would not be able to withstand a single blow.

As expected, they were just new soldiers after all.
