General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 462: Setting out to propose marriage (2)

Yun Sisi here was much more well-behaved. With a look from Xu Feng, Yun Sisi obediently held his hand and stood aside.

Although there was desire in her eyes, the sensible Yun Sisi always knew her limits, just like her gentle personality.

Xu Feng and Tie Laosan stayed together. The barracks had to be left alone. Although the new recruits had already developed a routine, they just needed to follow the training.

The group set out in a mighty procession towards the City Lord's Mansion.

After walking for a while, Lin Feng rode to the side of Fang Chen. Fang Chen looked at Lin Feng and knew from their years of tacit understanding that he had something to say, so he and Lin Feng slowly retreated to the back of the team.

Signaling Lin Feng to speak if he had anything to say.

Lin Feng just told Fang Chen about the bandits he encountered on the road last night. Fang Chen frowned after listening. He was not at the scene and did not know who the bandits Lin Feng was talking about were. But it sounded like it would not be a problem for them to use these people, but the question was whether they could be trusted.

"You were right not to bring them back rashly. Take them directly to the city and arrange a piece of land for them to build a village there." Fang Chen said, "They are not suitable to live in a village with others. Rather than risk conflicts in the future, it is better to build a village for them directly."

"According to what you said, there are about a hundred of them, which can be considered as the number of people in a village." Fang Chen added, "But we can't let them get it so easily. If something is too easy to get, people won't cherish it."

"Yeah." Lin Feng replied.

"If they really want to stay and cannot be without a livelihood, you can ask your sister-in-law if there is any work that can be done for them first." Fang Chen felt that Ji Xiaomu had better ideas in this regard.

He felt inferior to himself.

"Then I'll go ask my sister-in-law." Lin Feng nodded, squeezed the horse's belly hard, and sped up to catch up with the carriage where Ji Xiaomu was.

Ji Xiaou was just discussing their last proposal with Duan Yue and others. Many girls in the village signed up, but their parents were not very happy about it, thinking that without them there would be no one to work at home.

Even if they could get paid for learning, they felt it was unnecessary. After learning the skills, they would be married off to men, and there would not be much benefit to their families.

"Why are these people so irritating! This is clearly a good opportunity where I can learn a skill and make money at the same time." Wu Xiaoxiao was extremely angry.

"All they care about is their own little piece of land. They feel like their strength would be less if one person is missing." Duan Yue frowned.

"How many people have signed up now?" asked Ji Xiaowu.

"There are more than four dozen girls in the village, but only twenty have signed up, and less than ten of them have their parents' consent. The others have registered without telling their parents." Long Shiyu said, "They have taken the initiative to take this step, so we must help them."

"Those who have already registered are enough." Mother Ji nodded. This was already a considerable number.

This proves that they have their own plans for their future and do not blindly follow their families.

"Sister-in-law, are we going to ignore the others?" Chen Wan'er asked.

"If we want to take care of it, we also need them to take that step on their own initiative. If they are not willing to take even one step and do not want to be pulled out of the deep pit, why should we do such a thankless job?" Long Shiyu disagreed. She felt that those who were willing to sign up on their own initiative were the ones they should be responsible for.

Those who don't even want to register are too nosy and annoying. Why bother with such thankless work?

Even though you are doing good for them, they may not appreciate it.
