After I kissed the rough man Khan, I was busy farming in the grassland

Li Xianyun knew that Ye Luyan didn't tell her many things, just because he didn't want her to worry.

Of course, she didn't think about asking, so that Yeluyan would rack his brains to come up with irrelevant reasons to excuse her.

The urgency before the war makes people's hearts tighten and their emotions become tense unconsciously.

With this feeling in mind, Li Xianyun sat in the carriage for a bumpy ride and finally returned to Yanzhou.

She did not go back to the mansion, but went straight to the Earth Temple in the west of the city.

The masons were making repairs, and two official servants were sitting on chairs to act as supervisors. When they saw Li Xianyun coming, the two official servants quickly put down the hand stoves in their palms and came over.

"Master Li, Mr. Yuchi has just left. Let the two of us stay here to see if we can help in any way."

Li Xianyun glanced at the place where they were sitting, enjoying the hot tea with snacks and snacks on the hand stove.

Of course, Li Xianyun only needs to be shaken by official officials, and she doesn't expect them to be of any help. Just don't cause trouble.

Li Xianyun said "Hmm", "Thank you both."

She looked around and found that the beggars seemed to know which area they lived in, their rooms had been divided, and they were moving the things in the adjacent rooms to the corresponding houses.

After moving the things, the beggars were not idle and were helping to clean up.

These were obviously arranged by Yuchihong. These two officials were just here to mess around, so it would be good if they didn't cause any trouble.

At the same time, Li Xianyun was greeted by the head mason.

He described the progress of the fortifications to Li Xianyun.

There are not many places for repairs in the Earth Temple.

The leaky roof needs to be repaired, the broken steps and ground need to be repaired, the house converted into a factory needs to be slightly modified according to the drawings given by Li Xianyun, and then the wall that separates the Temple of Earth into two needs to be built. High walls and narrow gates to the area.

The head mason knew that Li Xianyun was an expert and did not dare to lie for fear of offending his customers and losing such a good job.

Li Xianyun made suggestions based on his narrative, and then went around in a circle, asking someone to count how many people would need to live in the room where the beggars would live, and then asked someone to go to the old furniture place she had visited before to buy basic beds. , tables, cooking utensils and other basic daily necessities.

He took the remaining people to the clothing workshop. As new looms and new cotton spinning machines were continuously brought in, the number of cotton-padded clothes made increased a lot compared to before.

However, Li Xianyun discovered a problem.

Because of the use of new equipment, the amount of cloth woven and cotton spun by the female workers increased a lot compared to before, and all of them were piled up in the cotton sewing factory, causing the female workers who sewed cotton clothes to be unable to cope even if they worked day and night.

Li Xianyun therefore made adjustments. She selected ten female workers from each weaving and cotton spinning factory to sew cotton clothes.

As a result, the number of people sewing increased, and the number of factories for sewing cotton-padded clothes would naturally increase.

Li Xianyun merged the female workers in several weaving and cotton spinning factories into corresponding factories.

In this way, several factory buildings were created, and a lot of equipment was left free.

New things are replaced and old things are eliminated.

In this case, the garment workshop will need to replace a lot less new equipment.

Li Xianyun estimated the quantity and sent people to the carpentry shop she cooperated with to ask them to reduce the quantity of production.

At the same time, discuss with those carpenters whether they are willing to buy the old equipment from the clothing workshop at a low price, then repair it and sell it at a higher price.

There is a carpentry shop that agrees, so the old equipment can be sold and some money can be made.

After finishing her work in the front yard, Li Xianyun came to the backyard.

Li Xianyun spent the next few days busy.

Her efforts also paid off greatly.

After the renovation of the Di Temple was completed, the farmers and beggars began to work. The wages were paid every day, and everyone was happy.

Retail investors who had cotton in Yanzhou and nearby counties wanted to make money from cotton. Li Xianyun let people know that they had found a large cotton supplier store from nearby counties. Retail investors were afraid of getting cotton in their hands, so when the garment factory raised the price a little, they sold the cotton.

In this way, the problem of cotton in making cotton-padded clothes has also been solved.

Those whose lives have changed the most are those beggars.

They had beds, tables and other furniture, as well as cooking utensils, and finally no longer had to live a wandering life.

Li Xianyun also took out some outdated fabrics from the warehouse of the garment workshop and gave them to them to make new clothes.

Everyone regards Li Xianyun as their great benefactor.

But there are also three or five heartless people among these beggars, and they are the ones Li Xianyun asked Battelle to pay attention to.

They were greedy and lazy, and were kicked out of the Earth Temple by Li Xianyun.

These young and strong beggars were resentful and wanted to set fire to the Di Temple. They never expected to be caught by Li Xianyun's people.

Several people were imprisoned, which can be regarded as evil retribution.

In addition, due to Li Xianyun's management and constant adjustments, the garment workshop produced more than 20,000 pieces of cotton-padded clothes in just three days and sent them all to Liuzhou, much earlier than the stipulated time.

Next, Li Xianyun discussed with the government the whereabouts of these female workers while investigating spies in the garment workshops.

It was at this time that the news of the great victory in Hengzhou came.

The two soldiers who carried the message galloped on their horses and waved flags, loudly spreading the news of the great victory in Hengzhou.

When the people heard the noise, they came out of their homes one after another and ran to tell each other.

The whole city was immersed in the joy of victory.

When the news reached Li Xianyun, she was leading people to the backyard of the garment workshop.

A stick of incense was burned, and someone stuffed a letter into the cracks in the bricks in the backyard to deliver the news to the people inside.

The messenger was caught by the secret guards sent by Li Xianyun to keep an eye on him.

It's a pity that during the arrest, the person who delivered the message bit out the poison in his mouth and committed suicide.

Fortunately, the letter fell into Li Xianyun's hands.

After Li Xianyun read the letter, her face turned pale and she could hardly stand still.

Youlan hurriedly supported her and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?"

Jinwu, Battle and others also looked worried.

While Youlan was speaking, she looked at the letter in Li Xianyun's hand.

The letter was tightly held in Li Xianyun's hand and turned into a ball. No one knew what was written in the letter.

Li Xianyun didn't bother to answer Youlan's question and said in a trembling voice: "Go to the backyard."

She said and walked towards the backyard in a hurry.

As soon as he left the door of the factory, Battelle saw a secret guard coming on horseback. He knew the secret guard and hurried forward and whispered: "Master, there is news from Hengzhou."

Li Xianyun stopped and was supported by Youlan, waiting for the secret guard to approach.

The secret guard came closer, bowed his arms first, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Li Xianyun respectfully, and said breathlessly: "Master, Hengzhou is a great victory, this is a letter from the Khan. "

When everyone heard this, there were expressions of surprise on their faces.

Li Xianyun was naturally surprised, but her face was still pale and bloodless.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the secret guard who delivered the letter, stuffed the intercepted letter into her sleeve, and opened Yeluyan's letter at the same time. (End of chapter)
