Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Chapter 153: Discovery from Tianming

"Okay, I'll handle this matter. Almost everyone from the villages under Xin County has arrived, and they haven't shown any intention of resisting. I'll redivide their areas in the next two days."

"Well, it's better to get this done sooner rather than later. Once you've settled down in a couple of days, we can start rebuilding. Of course, if the people still want to return to their original place of residence, don't make it difficult for them."

"I've told the people about this, and they all say they don't want to go back. Perhaps to them, a place like that can no longer be called home."

Leng Youran figured out the concerns of the people in almost an instant.

For them, the place where they once lived can be regarded as purgatory.

There they saw the evil of human nature.

If they returned to their original place to live, even they would not be enslaved like Zhu Dazhi did.

But the harm caused to them there is always there.

After returning, I may only recall the painful days of the past endlessly.

"That's fine. When you build the village later, you can place them closer to the town. As for where they lived before, we'll turn it into farmland. That way, it'll be easier for us to manage them."

"Okay, let's do as you say. As for the original villagers, I think it's better to let them live separately. That way, those who are familiar with each other can better integrate into the new life."

"Well, that's great. Big brother, go write a letter and tell Grandfather and the others. We'll follow this method for all other towns from now on. As for Second Brother and the others, we'll go and tell them ourselves."

"Okay, then I'll write a letter to inform Dad and Grandpa later."

Leng Youran and Leng Yuyang chatted for a while before setting off again with Li Tianze to Mi Cang County.

Leng Yuning was in charge of Mi Cang County. As soon as they entered the city, the people of Mi Cang County recognized Leng Youran.

"Oh, it's the lady who arrested Manager Zhu."

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted this.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze were surrounded.

The voices of the people thanking them surrounded their ears.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze were both a little overwhelmed.

I want to push through the crowd but I'm afraid of hurting them.

Fortunately, Leng Yuning brought people and "rescued" them in time.

"Third brother, this is too enthusiastic." Leng Youran wiped the non-existent sweat after leaving the crowd.

"Who said it wasn't? I was also surrounded like this when I first took over Mi Cang." Leng Yuning took a deep breath when he thought of the situation when he first came with food.

The three of them finally got rid of the common people and returned to the house where Manager Zhu had lived before.

Leng Youran teased, "Third brother, you can't become the second local emperor just because the people like you."

Leng Yuning broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what she said, "Little sister, you can't say this in front of my father, I'll get beaten easily."

"Hahahaha, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. By the way, the people here all know you, so it's easy for you to manage them."

"Yeah, I told you, as soon as I told them they were here for the porridge, the people lined up spontaneously. Now there's no need for me to be involved in the affairs of the porridge stall. I was just thinking about whether I should write a letter to my grandfather and the others to inform them of the situation here when you came. It's just right that you're here, so tell me, should I leave here and go to the next town? After all, we're short-staffed right now, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to just sit here idle."

"It's okay, you won't be idle. What you will do next..." Leng Youran told Leng Yuning again what he had discussed with Leng Yuyang before.

Leng Yuning listened quietly.

Only after she finished speaking did he applaud and said, "Okay, my little sister is smart, unlike some people." After saying that, he twitched the corner of his mouth in the direction of Li Tianze who had been silent.

Leng Youran felt like laughing.

Her three brothers are now very hostile to Li Tianze.

She probably knew why, but she didn't come forward to explain.

If Li Tianze couldn't even withstand such contempt, she thought she would not look down on such a man either.

Just consider it a test for him.

Li Tianze was not at all displeased by Leng Yuyang's mockery. He smiled and said, "Ah, there's nothing I can do. Youyou is too powerful. I can only stay by her side and be invisible. This way I won't cause any trouble for her."

I don’t know if Leng Youran was overthinking it, but she always felt that there was something else behind Li Tianze’s words.

Leng Yuning also had the same idea as her.

After Li Tianze said the words "adding to the trouble", Leng Yuning got angry, stood up and attacked Li Tianze. Li Tianze moved quickly, and his body flew out as his fist landed.

But he said, "Hey, this is boring. Can't we talk properly?"

Leng Yuning's cheeks puffed slightly, and she pointed at Li Tianze and said angrily, "You're just bringing up something that's not relevant to you. Didn't I just use the wrong method? Do you really have to keep bringing up that incident?"

Li Tianze shrugged helplessly, "Isn't this because you haven't done the second stupid thing for me to catch you?"

Leng Yuning was so angry that she wanted to explode on the spot, "You, you..."

You talked for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

Leng Youran, seeing his third brother being bullied, of course refused to agree, "Tianze, please speak properly. This is my third brother."

These few short words immediately extinguished Leng Yuning's anger.

She raised her head proudly and looked at Li Tianze provocatively.

After hearing what she said, Li Tianze immediately looked like a child who had done something wrong. He lowered his head obediently and acted as if he had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment from his parents.

Leng Youran felt a toothache when watching this scene.

If she didn't know Li Tianze's character, she would have suspected that her words were too harsh, causing him to feel wronged.

"Okay, stop messing around. Third brother, I have another thing to ask you. Have you found any clay here?"

Leng Yuning shook his head slightly. "No, I had nothing to do these past two days so I asked someone to look for it everywhere, but nothing was found."

Leng Youran leaned back in his chair dejectedly.

"Okay, if you don't have any, I'll leave first."

Leng Youran and Li Tianze spent three days touring the entire county where Leng Yuze and Li Tianduo were, but they did not find any clay that could be used to make blue bricks.

Just when she was at a loss, Li Tianze received good news from Li Tianming.

"Youyou, let's go to Tianming now. Tianming said he found something over there. Let's go take a look."

Leng Youran, who had been listless, instantly perked up after hearing these words.

He stood up and pulled Li Tianze out.

Zhuang Chenxu, who had just finished his work, saw the two people leaving in a hurry and hurriedly asked about his deputy Chu Xin who had followed him.

"What's going on with them?"

Chu Xin sorted out the registration information that Zhuang Chenxu brought back and said, "It is said that something was found in Li Tianming's place. The two of them might have gone treasure hunting."
