A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 209 The Voice of the Crowd

"......Why doesn't the county lord care about us? So many people have no place to live. We wanted to expand Linhai Town and find a job here. Now we don't even have a place to live. It's difficult to wash. There is no one in charge or in charge. Is the expansion just a lie?......"

"Yeah! I've been here for two days and have no place to stay. It's not convenient to wash and I'm stinking!"

"I have been here for three days..."

"Your Excellency probably didn't expect so many people to come all of a sudden, and you probably don't know how to accommodate us for a while." A friendly voice sounded, "I brought dozens of craftsmen here to look for work. It's my fault that I was too slow and didn't even book the last guest room. I deserve to be beaten."

As he spoke, a few popping sounds were heard.

There was some good-natured laughter.

"Old Zhang, aren't you planning to build a house at the south entrance of the town?"

Another voice sounded, with envy in its tone that could not be ignored.

"Ah~ It hasn't been finalized yet. We have only reported what we can do roughly. We still have to wait for the chief craftsman under the county lord to see whether he wants us."

"Old Zhang, your craftsmanship is impeccable, and your craftsmen are all top-notch. There will definitely be no problem."

"Yes, yes."

“I agree with this.”

......

The group of people were diverted from the original topic, and Huang Bo and his two sons became very curious about who this "Old Zhang" was and planned to get to know him.

Just as they were about to merge into the crowd, the complaining voice rang out again.

"But, Old Zhang, only you and the others were chosen! What about the rest of us? We can't just sit here and starve and stink and wait to die, right?"

This is totally unreasonable.

Huang Mulin did not recruit craftsmen or businessmen from all over the world to come to Linhai Town. They heard the news from others and knew that there would be a major expansion and work here soon, so they all rushed here eagerly.

This is just a small town and cannot handle such a large flow of people. That is why Huang Mulin has not advertised it yet. Unexpectedly, an accident happened first.

I don’t know who leaked the news.

Perhaps, it was intentional.

Huang Mulin didn't want to delve into the people behind it, because she really needed a lot of people to do the expansion work, and she also learned some experience from this sudden situation. Overall, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

"Hey, you can't talk nonsense." Old Zhang spoke again, "The county lord didn't issue a notice to invite anyone to come. We just got the news and wanted to find a job to make a living, so we took the initiative to come here~"

"Besides, we are making so much noise here, the county lord probably doesn't know about it in the village."

"Has any of you gone to see the county lord?"

Lao Zhang asked the others in the crowd.

"No."

"I do not have either."

The discordant voice was somewhat unconvinced, "How can people like us meet an important figure like the county lord whenever we want?"

After hearing this, Huang Bosan and his son were stupid if they still didn't understand that this man was here to cause trouble.

"Of course not everyone can see him if they want to."

At this moment, Huang Bo spoke, pushed forward, and soon came to the center of the discussion.

"Anyone who really wants to seek help can go to Xiushan Village to find the county lord." Huang Bo glanced at the crowd and roughly identified the two groups of people who had just spoken. "However, I advise you not to approach some people with unclear intentions."

"The guards in our house don't eat for free."

Huang Bo suddenly stood up and spoke up, as if to defend Huang Mulin, and immediately someone began to question him.

"who are you?"

"Yes! How do you know the county lord is willing to meet us?"

"Could it be that they tricked us into going to the village in order to capture us all?"

The more they talked, the more outrageous it became. Huang Bo, his father and his son, were so furious that they could have pinched a fly to death.

"Master Huang."

Tang Qian came out of the West Town entrance and wanted to find Huang Mulin to ask something. Hearing what seemed to be a quarrel in the crowd, as well as a familiar voice, he squeezed over.

Saw Huang Bo and his two sons.

"Manager Tang."

"Uncle Tang."

The two sides greeted each other.

"This is?......"

Seeing the unhappy expressions of the father and his two sons, and then looking at the people around them with inquiring looks, Tang Qian felt a little relieved.

Many people have come to Linhai Town recently, and he knows that they have no place to live.

Huang Bo probably came here today to solve this problem, but he encountered something.

"Oh, I just told them that if they sincerely want to solve the problem, they are allowed to go to Mu Mu. Otherwise, they'd better not go."

"Who are you!?"

It was that voice again. This time Huang Bo looked over and saw the real face he was facing.

He had an ordinary appearance that couldn't be found in a crowd, and his eyes were full of calculation, which made Huang Bo uncomfortable just by looking at him.

"You said yes, so I'll allow it!"

"Yes, I allow it."

Huang Bo said bluntly: "I am Huang Mulin's father."

Huang Mulin...County Lady?

The county lord’s father! ?

The few people who had been fanning the flames suddenly shrank their necks, wishing that Huang Bo could not see them.

The person who had been shouting was also stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.

The county lady’s father...is he so simple?

Huang Mulin's family still has no habit of wearing fancy clothes to this day. In most cases, they will choose some nice fabrics, but they are definitely not complicated.

Huang Bo often goes to the fields and workshops, and always dresses like a farmer, and today is no exception.

However, even though Huang Bo has been a farmer since he was a child, he has been tempered a lot following Yang Lijun and others, and his aura is no longer the same as before.

As for Huang Qilin and Huang Jinlin, they were wearing long gowns that ordinary people would wear. Their clothing did not look like those of children from wealthy families, but their determined eyes and indifferent expressions made it clear that they were not ordinary.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Huang Bo saw that they were silent, so he said, "My daughter learned about your difficulties and just arranged everything. My father and I came here immediately."

"There are no tents in the town. We will go to Huiqiling County and set up some tents for you to keep out the wind and rain."

"Regarding the water use problem, we will bring well diggers here tomorrow to find a suitable location to dig a well. Later I will also ask my servants to bring some clean water to everyone for washing, etc. Please be frugal."

The onlookers were all delighted and praised the county lady for her righteousness.

Huang Bo and his son sneered in their hearts, calling them a bunch of fence-sitters.

"Who is Lao Zhang?"

Huang Bo asked.

"it's me."

A sturdy, tanned man in his forties stepped forward.

He was between seven and eight feet tall, with thick hair, a little beard on his face, and clear eyes. The common short-sleeved attire of a craftsman could not hide the bulging muscles all over his body.

It was indeed the person Huang Bo had in mind.

"Thank you for your chivalrous words just now." Huang Bo nodded to him with a smile on his face, "Old Tian should be here to sign the craftsmen in the next two days, please wait for a while."
