Everyone took their seats.
Xie Fan stood up and glanced around, full of heroic spirit.
The people, soldiers, and servants of Qingfeng Village totaled more than a hundred people.
"The meeting held today is the Xie Family Taiyin Mountain Development Commendation Conference and the next work arrangements! It has been a while since everyone has been on the mountain, and it is time to discuss merits and reward them!"
Everyone cheered and cheered.
Xie Fan ordered everyone to serve the wine first, "For the Xie family to be in today's situation, everyone here is very important! Here, on behalf of the Xie family, I would like to thank everyone! Do it!"
"Master, please!"
Everyone drank it all in one gulp, but there was a stout man from Qingfeng Village who habitually broke the porcelain bowl, causing everyone to laugh.
"It's okay!" Xie Fan cleared his throat and continued, "The people I called, come to the front and say hello to everyone!"
"Wen Hua! The head butler of the Xie family is in charge of all the trivial matters. He is diligent and hardworking and never complains! Let me ask everyone, has he offended a lot of people?"
The whole place was silent, no one dared to say a word.
Wen Hua bent down and looked at everyone, not knowing what to say.
Xie Fan patted Wen Hua's arm and encouraged him, "If anyone has an opinion against Wen Hua, it is against me, Xie Fan! However, feel free to raise your opinion. If it is good, I will not only adopt it, but also There is a big reward!”
Many people in the crowd nodded, but they didn't dare to be too obvious.
"Master, let me say a few words!" Wen Hua took two steps forward, "Everyone, Master, it's not easy! Being able to have enough food and clothing every day is a good life that many people can't even imagine! Let me tell you, follow Master, you are right!"
Sporadic applause broke out from the crowd.
Xie Fan invited Wen Hua down and said, "Zhang Chao! The leader of the Xie family has contributed a lot to maintaining order and ensuring safety!"
There were boos everywhere, and everyone felt that Zhang Chao had little merit.
Xie Fan nodded and asked Zhang Chao to tell everyone what he had prepared in advance.
"Master! During this period, the escort team drove away ten thieves and arrested five robbers, all of which have been sent to Feng County Government Office. In addition, Taiyin Mountain was cleaned and vacant land was cleared for building houses, more than fifty places!"
Everyone was silent, and Nie Yunlong couldn't help it, "There are actually thieves? Robbers? I clear... the Xie family's territory, how can I allow them to run wild!"
Xie Fan smiled and said, "Brother Nie, these are trivial matters, the key is the building matter!"
"Yes! Let's cut down the trees, and Commander Zhang is not idle. We will have a house to live in soon!"
Zhang Chao stood aside, some figures were false, and his palms were all sweaty.
Xie Fan invited him down, "Nie Yunlong! The chief foreman of the Xie family, he gets up early and is greedy at dusk, forgetting to eat and sleep! He leads the brothers and never takes a day off. His energy is commendable!"
Nie Yunlong has big shoulders and a round waist, with a dark face and a serious expression. After saluting respectfully, he faced everyone and said, "Brothers, is Qingfeng Village good? Is it happy or not?"
Everyone tried desperately to respond, but no sound came out of their mouths.
"Those days were good and happy! But we were also hungry! But after the young master comes, we don't have to be hungry anymore. We have meat to eat and wine to drink! I want you to be a bandit again, will you go? ?”
"Don't go!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Fan handed his bowl to the man who dropped the bowl, and suggested, "Brother Nie prayed for everyone with his heartfelt words that day! Let's toast to Foreman Nie with a glass!"
"Respect, Foreman Nie!"
"However, after today, he is no longer Foreman Nie, but Head Guard Nie! The Xie family is going to form a bodyguard. Please come down and ask Head Guard Nie for details!"
"Brothers, let me tell you something, becoming an escort will make you more money!"
Xie Fan invited Nie Yunlong down, "Next, Lu Guang! The chief engineer of the Xie family is highly skilled and loyal! He has the final say whether the house is comfortable or not!"
Lu Guang stood in front of everyone. It was hard for everyone to accept that the slovenly man he was before had completely changed his appearance.
He took a step forward and said confidently, "Master, the Taiyin Mountain is divided into nine floors. In the past few days, a total of one hundred houses have been built on the second floor. Each house has three rooms and a small courtyard. Among them. Fifty places are named Qingfengyaju, and the remaining ones are named Qingliangju!”
Nie Yunlong stood up, "Master, is this Qingfeng Yajun prepared for us?"
"Of course!"
Everyone applauded!
When everyone calmed down, Xie Fan slowly spoke, "It turns out that all the brothers in Qingfeng Village can live in Qingfeng Yaju. We are all brothers who have been together for many years, so I won't separate you!"
"Master, how do you sell the house?"
Lu Guang took two steps back, not daring to say any more. In fact, out of a hundred houses, only thirty were built.
Xie Fan waved his sleeves and walked to Nie Yunlong's side, "Boss Nie, how much money do you have in your brothers' accounts?"
"Master, there is more than one tael of silver, but there is less than one tael."
Xie Fan sighed and faced everyone, "It's a little less! But it's okay! In order to let everyone live in the house quickly, I lowered the price of the house and only sold it for five taels of silver!"
"Five taels?"
"Too cheap!"
"But that's a new house!"
Xie Fan walked back and forth several times until everyone calmed down, "But you don't have five taels of silver! Don't worry, I can lend it to you. You can work at Xie's house and pay it back within a year, that's it!"
"What should I do if I still don't understand?"
Nie Yunlong glared at him fiercely, "Follow the young master, how can you pay back the debt? If you don't want to pay back, I will break his neck!"
Xie Fan laughed twice and reminded, "Don't forget, everyone, after you own the house, I will give you twenty taels to find a wife! If you have any leftover, you can also pay for the house!"
"Then if I don't marry a wife, won't I make fifteen taels in vain?"
"Master, if this man doesn't want a wife, don't sell him a house!"
Xie Fan pointed at the man, "Boss Nie, are you one of yours? Write it down for me!"
Everyone laughed.
Xie Fan gave Ah Fu a look, "There are still many places to spend money! You have to prepare something when you go to propose marriage, right? I have prepared some for everyone, and the price is not expensive. Let's take a look!"
Ah Fu held several square boxes of snacks and said, "Snack set, ten kinds of snacks, one tael of silver!"
He held up another big package, "Five pieces of floral cloth, one quilt, three taels of silver!"
Finally, he held a small wooden box, "Jewelry and rouge set, three pieces of jewelry, two boxes of rouge, and ten taels of silver!"
Xie Fan ordered someone to show it to everyone, "These things can be collected in just a few days. Moreover, the price is definitely the lowest!"
After everyone's interest was aroused, Xie Fan gave an order, "Before dark, those who want to live in Qingfeng Yaju should go to the housekeeper to register and receive money! If you want to buy a set meal, hurry up, the quantity is limited, and it will last until supplies last. !”
There was a mess in the yard, and the porcelain bowl clattered to the ground.
