Chapter 622 (2/2)

In particular, there are many strong men among them. ” Jiang Wan said indignantly, ”we Shantang must not be a lazy place for these people.”

”Didn't you say you wanted to build irrigation channels in Jinzhou? It's better to take all these people to Jinzhou and work instead of pay. ” Jiang Wan also suggested with Xiao Ruixuan, ”lest they stay idle here, and it's easy to cause trouble.”

Xiao Ruixuan thinks about it carefully and thinks that Jiang Wan's words are very reasonable.

The northwest frontier has always been short of water. In order to prevent the newly reclaimed wasteland from being abandoned again, he has been discussing this matter with Mr. Jin recently.

It's a matter of money, but it's also a matter of manpower. He even tried to use the army to repair canals, but Tong Wei made such a fuss that he had to put the plan aside for the time being.

Now Jiang Wan mentioned it again, which gave him a new light.

So after discussing some details with Mr. Jin, the palace of King Jin set up a recruitment office outside the charity hall run by Jiang Wan.

Many men who are idle there are eager to sign up when they learn that they will not only have food to eat, but also have money to pay.

However, those who are lazy and used to talking sarcastically on one side: ”now in this charity hall, we still have something to eat without working. Why do we have to punish ourselves

It's hard to eat. ”

But before his words came to an end, there were four strong women with burning sticks in their hands. They were standing in a row, very majestic.

Then one of them stepped forward and said in a loud voice, ”my master has an order. The charity hall is only for the help of young children who have lost their business, or the strong old men who have no dependents. They will not receive them from now on.”

With that, the four women all tacitly agreed to put the torch on the ground, which was quite powerful in the Yamen.

Those who are timid are naturally too scared to go forward.

But a few of them still wanted to come forward to the theory because of their despotism in the countryside. They were beaten to the ground by the four women with their firesticks.

The person who was beaten also lay on the ground and cried.

Before that, the woman who spoke crossed her waist and said, ”my man is the baton instructor of Northwest camp. How dare you act wild in front of me!”

The foreman, who was in charge of recruiting people to repair the canal, stood up and said with a smile, ”that's right, a man with hands and feet, why do you want to grab food with a group of women and children? Don't be afraid of being laughed at when you say it? ”

Then he dusted the sign hanging on the pole: ”follow me

I wish I could go to build canals and dig waterways together. It's better than those soldiers who go to the front line to fight! ”

As soon as they heard this, they became alert.

They have always been fond of catching strong men in wars. If they were idle as they are now, it is not impossible for them to be caught and go to exile.

In this case, it's better to dig a canal! For a moment, most people seemed to have reached a consensus and signed up at the foreman's office one after another to express their willingness to dig the canal.
