Luo Shuiyao met his eyes full of trust in her, and her heart was filled with joy. She smiled softly and replied, "Okay, I will definitely live up to your trust."
Yang Yong thought for a while, picked up his cane and knocked it hard on the ground. Then he stood up with the cane and said with a generous smile: "Zhuangzi is so determined. There is no reason why we old guys can't compare to him. I am willing."
Seeing that Yang Yong also agreed, Yang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing too."
Seeing that the two brothers had made their decision, the others no longer hesitated and responded, "We are willing too."
Luo Shuiyao looked at them, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her smile bright and flamboyant, and she replied loudly: "Then let's work together."
At that time, no one thought that they would be able to reach such heights in the future.
After this matter was confirmed, the atmosphere among everyone became more harmonious.
After a detailed discussion, everyone finally decided that Yang Wei and other people who were able to walk outside would obey Fang Yue Niang's command and dispatch in the future.
As Yang Yong and others were unable to move around easily, they stayed behind to teach the children martial arts and handle internal matters.
After finally finalizing everything and assigning personnel, Luo Shuiyao raised another question. She turned her gaze to Yang Wei and asked, "Brother Yang Wei, do you know how many people like you have retired due to injuries?"
Yang Wei glanced at her in confusion, then lowered his head and thought for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "As far as I know, there are nearly a thousand of them near Kyoto."
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly, then instructed, "From today on, you will do your best to count the wounded and retired personnel who are struggling to survive, as well as the families of martyrs who are struggling to make ends meet after losing their breadwinners. Select the 100 people who need help the most, and have them go to Yongfu Villa, 20 miles outside of Kyoto, in batches and in stages."
Compared to their confused expressions, Fang Yueniang thought for a moment and quickly realized, "Sister Yao, you mean... that Yongfu Villa is your villa?"
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly at her and said with a smile, "Sister Fang is really amazing. She can think of it so quickly."
Fang Yueniang was completely oblivious to her teasing. She stood up abruptly, her tone filled with excitement. "This way, things will be much easier. I've always worried that we don't have enough yards, which will make it extremely difficult to make ice or staff the farms. All the farms around the imperial city are owned by the rich and powerful, and even if you have money, it's difficult to buy them. I'm so glad you can handle such a big issue."
Luo Shuiyao smiled gently and evaded the main point, saying, "We only got this place by chance. From now on, the ice making will be completed in Yongfu Villa, and the rear affairs will also be handled here."
Fang Yue Niang nodded and asked, "We've already bought this yard, we can't just let it go to waste, right?"
Luo Shuiyao smiled brightly and replied, "Of course not."
Then she turned her gaze to Yang Wei, "Brother Yang Wei, can you find some craftsmen to renovate this courtyard? Also, can you ask if there are any courtyards for sale nearby? If possible, it would be best if it's next door. Then the men and women can live in separate courtyards, which will make it easier to manage when there are more people in the future."
Yang Wei didn't show any confusion on his face, and asked, "What does it mean when there are more people in the future?"
Luo Shuiyao pursed her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said in a mysterious tone: "You will know about this matter in the future."
She didn't mean to keep it a secret. The main reason was that she only had a rough idea in her mind and it was not yet fully formed. It would be too early to say it now. It would not be too late to say it when everything was right.
Fang Yueniang raised her eyebrows slightly at this, but stopped asking further questions, and even stopped Yang Wei from asking further questions. "Alright, let's just take care of the things we have at hand. Sister Yao probably won't tell me now because it's not easy to do. Just follow her instructions."
"I don't believe that she will keep it a secret for me until then." Fang Yue Niang said the last sentence to Luo Shuiyao with a hint of sarcasm.
Luo Shuiyao chuckled, not objecting to her joke. She picked up the already cold teacup on the table and took a sip. The coolness spread from the tip of her tongue, then passed through her throat and into her abdomen, making her mind clearer.
She continued, "Brothers, go down and get to know everyone in this courtyard first. Later on, I'll have to trouble you to teach the people in this courtyard some martial arts so they can protect themselves."
Yang Wei nodded and said, "Okay. Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely teach them well."
Luo Shuiyao responded with a smile, then gestured for them to leave.
After everyone left, she turned her gaze to Fang Yueniang: "Sister Yueniang, where is the maid I asked you to buy last time?"
Fang Yueniang was stunned for a moment, seemingly unsure which maid she was asking about, but then she quickly realized, "That maid is in the kitchen. We're short of cooks in this courtyard right now, and I haven't found anyone suitable yet, so I've asked her to help out in the kitchen."
"Can you call her over now?"
Fang Yue Niang nodded and then walked out.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Luo Shuiyao relaxed a little and sat there leisurely, waiting. She looked out the window at the people walking in the yard, feeling that the days seemed to have hope.
Perhaps this journey through time is not entirely useless.
Not long after, there was another knock on the door. Luo Shuiyao withdrew her thoughts and replied softly, "Come in."
Fang Yue Niang pushed open the door, with a gentle smile on her face, and whispered to the maid behind her: "Xiao Hong, go in, our boss is waiting inside."
The maid was dressed in coarse cloth, with her hair casually tied into two pigtails. After hearing Fang Yue Niang's words, she nodded slightly and replied in a low voice, "Yes, Sister Yue Niang."
Then he lowered his head and slowly walked into the house, making it impossible to see his face and expression.
Luo Shuiyao picked up the teacup, took another sip of the cold tea, then gently put the cup down, her eyes calmly falling on the little maid standing in the room, with no sign of wanting to speak.
The maid lowered her head and seemed calm, but in fact her hands hanging at her sides were tightly grasping the dress on both sides. At this moment, the dress was wrinkled in her hands, indicating that she might not be as calm as she appeared.
Luo Shuiyao glanced lightly at her hands that were tightly clutching her dress, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
In the end, the maid couldn't stand Luo Shuiyao's gaze and the oppressive environment. She couldn't help but look up at Luo Shuiyao.
After seeing who was in the hall, her eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.
