Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 224 Good News

When Lu Peixiu heard Rendong say this, she felt even more upset.

"Even you think I did something wrong."

Although she was tough on the outside, she took Ren Dong's words to heart. She began to reflect on whether she had done something wrong.

Seeing this, Yunxi knew that she had to give her time and space to digest it slowly. She whispered a word of advice to Rendong and left.

Ying Tianchen, Song Lin and the others had already returned to the city. Yun Xi no longer had to entertain the guests, so she returned to her room.

He put the herbs that Honeysuckle and Lu Peixiu had dug up today back into the space, and happily planted herbs, crops and watered them in the space.

She stored the ripe vegetables and fruits in the warehouse.

Watching the warehouse of thousands of square meters gradually fill up, I feel indescribable satisfaction.

In the following days, Yun Xi either went to the fields to check on the early rice seedlings every day, or worked with everyone to prepare for the women's college.

Song Lin was very efficient. He selected a place within two days and asked Yun Xi, Ying Tianchen and others to go and take a look.

The place he chose was three houses on Yongning Street in the south of the city.

"I was worried that one yard wouldn't be enough, so I bought these three neighboring houses. We can just connect them up when the time comes." Song Lin took everyone to visit the yard, talking as they walked.

Two of the three courtyards have three entrances, and one has four. If they were connected together, the area would be quite large, and Yun Xi was very satisfied.

Song Lin handed the deeds of the three houses to Yun Xi. Yun Xi asked him, "How much did the houses cost? I'll ask my elder brother to give them to you."

Song Lin waved the folding fan in his hand and said, "Since you invited everyone to help organize this women's college, I will naturally contribute."

Yun Xi looked at Ying Tianchen and saw him nod. Yun Xi smiled and thanked him, "Thank you very much, Uncle Song."

"If I really want to thank you, please arrange the wild game barbecue you mentioned a few days ago as soon as possible."

Rather than giving money, Song Lin was more concerned about the food.

"Haha, no problem, I'll arrange it after I'm done with this busy period."

Seeing Yunxi said it would take a while, Song Lin was a little disappointed. But he also knew that she had something important to do, so he didn't force her.

"Okay, then we'll do that in a while. Just remember this."

After the address of the college was chosen, Yun Xi spent another three days writing and drawing, and re-planned and designed the courtyard.

The three courtyards were previously residential areas, but now they are being converted into academies, divided into two major areas: teaching area and living area.

The teaching area includes the teacher's office, classrooms, and a library.

The living area is where you eat and live. If you want to live in the academy, you can live in the college. The college has a unified cafeteria.

Yun Xi saw that except for the spacious front hall of the main house, the other rooms were not big.

So many rooms need to be connected, and small rooms become large classrooms.

Yun Xi not only drew the plan, but also took Yun Qi and Yun Yan to the site to explain in detail the places that needed to be changed.

Yun Xi handed over all the following matters to her two brothers, letting them be fully responsible for the renovation of the academy.

Others will come to help when they are free. I am full of expectations for this women's college.

Just as they were busy renovating the academy, a large number of disaster victims and refugees began to enter Jiaozhou.

It seems that the news they spread before worked.

Ying Tianchen has been very busy recently. Yun Xi knows that he is trying to accommodate the new population in some way, openly or secretly.

When Ying Tianchen had some free time to come and find Yun Xi, the seedlings in Yunjia Village had grown to half a foot tall, and the villagers were ready to start planting.

"Did the seedling cultivation succeed?" Ying Tianchen asked in surprise.

"Yes, it was very successful. My father and grandfather and uncle all saw it and said that the seedlings are growing very well this time." Yun Xi replied with a smile.

Ying Tianchen was happy that the seedlings were growing well and there was hope for the future.

He came here today and brought two good news.

"Since I asked the government to take over the disaster victims, more and more disaster victims and refugees have come to Jiaozhou. In recent days, I have secretly recruited more than 10,000 private soldiers."

"Also, Zhuya Island has been taken over by my people, and I have already placed all my private soldiers there."

"You're fast enough."

Ying Tianchen smiled, "Life on Zhuya Island is hard, and the yamen runners who guard the prisoners there have no future. It only takes a little inducement for them to obey."

“Are they all reliable?”

"If they surrender, there is no way back. If they don't surrender, they can't leave the island. They have no choice. It's okay for now. My people will keep an eye on them."

Yun Xi nodded. It was true. Ying Tianchen was raising private soldiers there, which was telling those people what he wanted to do. Such a big secret, even if they didn't agree, they would have no choice but to die. If they agreed, they wouldn't have a bright future, but their life would definitely be better than before.

"Xi'er, I came here today to ask you, last time you said that Zhuya Island is suitable for growing three-season rice, I wonder if it's still possible this year?"

Yun Xi nodded, "It's still in time. As long as we sow the seeds and raise the seedlings right now, it's still in time."

Normally, it is the time to sow early rice. She started raising seedlings in advance because Yunjia Village is not suitable for planting three-season rice, and the growth time will be extended. The advance time can make up for the later growth time.

"That's great, Xi'er. Can you borrow two people who know how to grow early rice and go to Zhuya Island to teach them how to grow it?"

He is not afraid of not having enough people to form his own private army now, but he is worried that as the number of people grows, there will not be enough food.

Although Yun Xi said that she could solve his worries, he didn't want to leave all the pressure to her.

Yun Xi agreed without hesitation. There shouldn't be too many people in the village who can grow early rice. If we give some money to those who are willing to go to Zhuya Island, there will definitely be many people willing to go.

She picked two relatively strong ones from the group of veterans who were specializing in growing crops at home. These two had been following Yun Huaishan to sow and raise seedlings. They both knew how to raise seedlings.

Yun Xi gave each of them ten taels of silver, a set of clothes and a pair of cloth shoes. The two were very happy. Farming was their duty, but they didn't expect to get silver, clothes and shoes in a new place. It was a pleasant surprise.

Yun Xi not only gave Ying Tianchen these two people, but also gave him 20,000 kilograms of grain seeds.

"By the way, I have been collecting grain for some time. Now I have a lot of it. You can have someone transport all the grain away someday."

Yun Xi wanted to give him all the food in the space. Now he has more than 30,000 private soldiers and consumes a lot of food. Giving it to him early can also make him worry less about food.

Ying Tianchen was grateful, "Thank you, Xier. Tell me where the food is stored. I will have someone move it someday."

Yun Xi said, "Let me know when you have arranged the personnel, and I will take you there personally."

If you ask her to name the place now, she can't say it, because she hasn't found the place to store the food yet.

Ying Tianchen didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.
