I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 309: Taking Them Down a Notch

Editor: Atlas Studios

Fan Zijin took out the roster that Qi Haoran had given him and said, “As there are too many people, I can’t make arrangements for them all. I’ve arranged for those women and some old people to enter the workshop, but the workshop can take in at most 3,000 people.”

Fan Zijin looked at Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling and said, “This is under the circumstances that the rabbits are fat and can be put up for sale in autumn. If not for the sudden increase in orders, I wouldn’t even be able to take in even 2,000 people at the workshop. Those young and strong men will go dig for stones to build houses and try to let everyone move in before the temperature drops.”

Fan Zijin had wanted to say “before the first snow arrives”, but he remembered that there were not even a few drops of rain this year, let alone snow.

“Those male young teens have all gone to the mountain to help carry the stones, but there are still more than 2,700 people idle there. All of them are children under the age of 12, both male and female. Among them, there are 1,952 people under the age of eight.”

From this, it could be seen how different the ages of the people they brought back this time was.

Some of them were orphans, but most of them had fled with their mothers or grandparents. All of their fathers had abandoned their families.

Some children’s mothers followed their husbands, but most mothers couldn’t bear to part with their children. Therefore, the mothers took their children with them and fled with their in-laws. As these people were old and weak, they walked together on the way. Fortunately, they encountered Yuan Hui, who had just escaped the control of the silver mine.

The benevolent Yuan Hui decided to first bring these people to the silver mine.

“Ah Ling, how many people can you take in?” Fan Zijin turned to look at Mu Yangling.

These people had nothing to do for the entire winter. Even if they could provide them with food, clothes and various daily necessities, it required money. The army could not provide for them all, so he arranged for them to enter the workshop. This allowed him to save costs, and they could also obtain more capital to survive.

Mu Yangling calculated in her heart and said, “Hand everyone to me. I’m expanding the cattle farm, which means I’m going to need to build more cowsheds. I also need some young and strong men there. As for kids around 12 years old, they can go and cut the pasture since it isn’t tiring.”

Fan Zijin immediately said, “Then there are still 600-odd elderly aged 52 years old and above. You can make arrangements for them too.”

Mu Yangling was stunned. “Didn’t you arrange for them to enter the workshop?”
