Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 842 True and False Princess 12
Since Banli didn't leave either, Linlang stayed in the village with her.

As for the bodies of the bandits, Linlang and Banli were not interested in digging a hole to bury them. After all, there were too many people. It would take a long time for the two of them to dig. So they dragged them directly to the path leading to the village and pushed them down from the cliff beside the path. Anyway, Linlang had checked the bottom of the cliff with bees and found no houses. It was just a rarely visited valley. It would be fine to throw them down there. Nature would automatically dissolve the bodies and they would become dry bones by next year.

But it is said that there are not only fourteen bandits in this village, but also four women.

Of course, they were not the bandits’ families, but were robbed on the road.

According to these women, the bandits robbed more than just these women. After bringing them in, they sold the previous women to brothels. They would probably sell the new women again to make money when they arrived.

What a sin! Not only did they defile the woman, but they also sold her to a brothel, ruining her life. After listening to what these women said, Ban Li was extremely angry. He felt that it was too easy for the bandits to kill them directly. They should have been skinned slowly and let them suffer before being killed.

Linlang asked the four women where they were and if they were willing, she could send someone to take them home when she had time.

As a result, none of the four women were willing to go home.

That's right. In this era, innocence is very important. If they lose their innocence, how can they dare to go back? That means death - if they go back, they will definitely be secretly killed by their families, so that people will not know that they have fallen into the hands of bandits and their families will be laughed at.

Seeing that they had no intention of going back, Linlang let them stay in the village.

However, there are more people, and there will definitely be more people in the future, so there must be a set of rules. They can't just live here casually. Otherwise, if they are lax now, it will be difficult to change it when something happens in the future. After all, sometimes conflicts arise, and even if they are resolved, the knots in people's hearts will not be untied.

At that moment, Linlang made simple rules and regulations regarding food, clothing, housing and transportation in the village.

Among these four people, there is one who can cook, so he is arranged to cook; the others are free to do whatever they want, some choose to grow vegetables, some choose to clean, do laundry, sew clothes, etc. - Linlang wants to free everyone from housework and divide the work, so naturally she has to arrange someone to do laundry. If more people come in the future, she can figure out how to arrange them later. Anyway, there are six people now, so Linlang made simple arrangements.

No matter what kind of work they do, they will be paid. Although the pay is not much for now, it will definitely be paid. As the conditions improve in the future, the pay will increase. The relationship between them is not that of master and servant, but a simple employment relationship. No matter what the situation is outside, in her territory, human trafficking is not allowed, only equal employment relationships.

Linlang asked Banli to be responsible for checking everyone's work performance, and of course, also pay her a salary.

In addition, as Ban Li thought, Linlang gave Ban Li twenty taels of the nearly two hundred taels of property in the village as hard work compensation for fighting with her before.

Although Chestnut didn't fight much, he still participated. Not giving in at all would be detrimental to unity.

Linlang would naturally not use the rest for personal use, but put it all in the public domain, planning to hire people to cultivate the fields behind, raise pigs and chickens, and continue to live here.

Ban Li was satisfied when she saw that Lin Lang didn't use it for her own benefit, but gave her twenty taels instead. She was also in charge of four people now. Lin Lang said that since she lived here, she would hire some people to work in the future, and she would be more satisfied when she could manage more people.

She had wanted to be a maid to earn money before, but now she doesn't have to be a maid anymore and it's not bad to live and earn money in this place.

She was not worried that if things continued like this, the money in the village would be spent. What would happen if there was no money left? In her opinion, two hundred taels would last a long time, so there was nothing to be afraid of. She didn't know how to do arithmetic, so she naturally didn't know. If there were a few more people, the two hundred taels would be spent very quickly.

When the crops, pigs and chickens in the village grow up, they can be sold for money, so there will be money. So she is not worried at all.

Linlang was not in a hurry to recruit people. Anyway, as the world became more and more chaotic, why worry about not having people? There was no need to recruit people at all. By then, there would be a lot of people willing to work as long as they could be fed.

Of course, she would not just give food to the stutterers, she would also pay them wages. But now, if she offered wages to recruit people to go up the mountain, others might not be willing to do so, as they felt that this place used to be a den of bandits, and it had a bad reputation to work here, so they would rather find other things to do.

But when there are more and more refugees, no one will worry about their reputation anymore. It will be good enough to have something to eat, and if you can pay for it, it will be a paradise on earth.

Linlang is not afraid that others don't know that there is such a place that needs people, because when the need arises, she will arrange people to publicize it.

At this moment, Linlang arranged tasks for Banli and others, and also arranged for everyone to practice martial arts and learn to read every day. Generally, they learned to read in the morning and practiced martial arts in the afternoon, each for half an hour. Although the time was not long, as long as they persisted, they would be able to learn a lot of words and also have some self-protection ability.

In fact, they don't have to learn martial arts, but they must recognize words. After all, if these people are trained well, when new people come in the future, they can be asked to train new people. In this way, the word will spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Only with improved education can there be better development. Otherwise, if all the people are illiterate, who will help them do things in the future? They can't do anything if they don't know how to read.

These women were all young—bandits wouldn’t want older ones—so they learned to read quickly.

In addition to this, Linlang began to build the village gate.

This village gate must be built, otherwise it will be wide open and anyone who comes can march straight in, even if the path ahead is narrow and only one person can pass through in a long line, and many people cannot pass through at the same time, making it difficult to defend. But if there is no village gate, even if people come in in a line, it will be impossible to resist if too many people come in. As long as there is a village gate, it will be easy to defend.

The village gate, or gable, is not difficult to build. Linlang chose to build it where the path begins to widen. The front is all paths, and the back becomes wider. The wide back of the gable can accommodate a lot of defensive equipment and people. The gable is built in the wide place at the beginning, so it can be built wider. More people can be stationed on the wall in the future, and they can shoot arrows at the attackers together. Just imagine, if a long line of attacking troops comes, facing a rain of arrows, who can get through.

There are ready-made bricks and tiles in the village. I heard from the women in the village that the bandits thought there were too few houses to sleep in and were planning to build more, so they asked someone to get bricks and tiles. This is a good deal for Linlang, as she doesn't have to buy them or make them in a kiln herself.

These women don’t know how to build a house, but Linlang does, so just teach them how to do it.
