Can a Man Give Birth to a Child? [Last month, 1,275 + monthly votes.]
Jiang Pengji didn't know how to raise useless people. She didn't have that kind of compassion.
She had to ensure that the people under her could create value. Otherwise, they were useless. What was the point of keeping them?
Therefore, even if she wanted to take them back, she wanted them to create value and contribute to the labor force.
Xu Ke calculated in his mind and said, "I'll listen to you."
"You don't have enough food and money?" Jiang Pengji asked.
She didn't want to rely too much on the Liu's. Except for the initial capital, she had to find ways to get the rest of the expenses.
For example … the money she won from the Fulai Gambling House.
She left some for Nongqin and gave the rest to Xu Ke to raise the troops.
If he told her that he was short of money, she would probably go to the gambling house to have fun.
Xu Ke shook his head. "We still have enough. But your goal is not limited to this. We should always plan well so that we don't have enough money when the time comes."
How many people were there in the troops?
Even if they counted the bandits who hadn't been trained yet, there were only about a hundred of them. The expenses were not high. Jiang Pengji gave them plenty of money, not to mention the loot they got from the robbery that night. It was enough to support the troops for a few years.
However, his Langjun's ambition was not limited to that. It was impossible to satisfy a troop of only a hundred people. That was a pain in the ass.
As a bookkeeper, Xu Ke naturally had to make arrangements in all aspects. He tried his best to divide one coin into two coins.
Jiang Pengji crossed her arms and looked at Xu Ke from head to toe. She said, "Not bad. You look like a bookkeeper."
Xu Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Langjun, please don't make fun of me."
To be honest, he used to think that a bookkeeper's job was easy until he met his Langjun.
Whether a bookkeeper's job was easy or not depended on whether the boss was noisy or not.
Jiang Pengji left a few people behind to guard the bandits and took them away in batches. As for the treasures that they had collected, they were transported back. While the sky was still dark, they had to leave as soon as possible to avoid alerting the other bandits.
There were too many bandits around Hejian County. If their actions were exposed and alerted, it would not be easy next time.
"Xiaoyu, go back and see if anyone is injured. Give them more supplements so that they won't be disappointed." On the way back, Jiang Pengji suddenly said, "There are rewards and punishments. Good and bad punishments are clear. That way, people won't be agitated, and we can nip the hidden dangers in the bud."
Xu Ke nodded. "Don't worry, Langjun. I will definitely get it done."
After a busy night, the troops went to sleep in batches.
Another group of people were guarding the bandits who were still tied up to prevent them from causing trouble.
The farm was large enough, and there were many empty rooms.
Xu Ke ordered his men to clean up the other two large rooms and turn them into bunk beds. He gave each captured bandit a bed.
In order to prevent them from rebelling, they were carefully separated and assigned to the previous troops to be regrouped with each other.
Because there were more people, the daily expenses also increased. Xu Ke still had a lot of miscellaneous things to do, and he only finished it at noon.
Xu Ke had seen the Liu family's internal account book recording method and felt that it was very clear, so he simply copied it and used it on the troops.
The account book was clear and concise, and the accounts were clear and transparent. It was very useful.
He calculated the rewards that should be distributed and was silently calculating how many pigs to buy in his heart. His aunt's voice came from outside the house.
"Aunt, why are you here?"
Xu Ke put down what he was doing and got up to open the door.
"Didn't the master reward me with a few bolts of cloth? I think it's not bad. I plan to measure it and make two sets of spring clothes for you. "
Xu Ke's aunt was a very gentle woman, but she worked hard all year round to make a living. Her hands were full of frostbite, and her eyes were much worse under the hardship. It was a bit difficult for her to sew, but Xu Ke didn't stop her.
After all, it was the elder's kindness. How could the younger generation refuse?
Besides, the farm was too idle. If she didn't find something for herself to do, she would be very bored every day.
Xu Ke welcomed her in. "Why can you only do it for me? Aunt, you have to take care of yourself. "
"Hey, aunt, how old are you? Why are you dressed so well? You are working for the master, so you should dress decently. " His aunt disagreed. "Ah, you wear the same few sets of clothes. It shows how much the master mistreats you …"
Xu Ke coughed awkwardly and said, "Aunt, Ke brought you here to take care of you when you are old. Don't do the hard work. Make new clothes that need to be made and wear what needs to be worn. There is no need to save. Now that Langjun thinks highly of me, I will have a better life in the future. "
His aunt glanced at him and said, "How can anyone live like you …"
"Aunt, you don't have to save for me. In the future, I will buy a few maidservants to serve you. I will treat you like the Old Madam."
"You are talking nonsense like you used to! Don't talk about buying maidservants to serve me. If you can bring a maidservant back to continue the Xu family's lineage, I will have to worship my ancestors. "His aunt put her hands together, and Xu Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This matter is not urgent. When I find someone I like, I will definitely tell aunt and let you talk to the matchmaker."
Xu Ke's aunt was an open-minded and optimistic woman. She didn't rush Xu Ke when he said so.
However, there were still some things that needed to be said to him.
"A family like ours is not picky. If there is someone suitable and considerate to you, you can marry her."
Xu Ke just smiled and didn't give a clear answer.
His mind was not on this. He had to finish the things at hand first. At least he had a foundation to establish himself.
Besides, his mother's mourning period was not over yet. It was too early to talk about marriage.
[System: Streamer Jiang Pengji's semi-interactive live broadcast of Bandit Suppression in the Deep Mountains (1) has come to a perfect end. Dear viewers, are you satisfied with this?]
[A, satisfied; B, average; C, not satisfied.]
It was time to conclude the voting again. This time, satisfaction was within expectations. After all, not everyone in the live broadcast could accept her killing, and she didn't want to change her plan for the audience. She thought that it would be good enough if she could pass the satisfaction level. She didn't expect to get a silver treasure chest.
When she heard the system message, she opened it directly and chose to draw a prize.
It was another card.
She clamped the card with two fingers and turned it over. There was a picture of a fat white baby curled up on the card. When she saw the small line of words at the bottom, her face was about to crack.
[Easy Pregnancy Pill — The young phoenix's voice is auspicious. Once chosen by the king, she will be doted on. However, no flower will bloom for a hundred days. She will only sigh at the changing heart of her husband. If she has a baby by her side, she will definitely stand at the top of the harem and look at the flowers with a smile.]
[Usage: Take it before sex.]
Jiang Pengji chuckled. "System, can you be any more f * cking useless?"
The System was about to explode.
"Jiang Pengji! That's enough! I am the Harem Intrigue System. What else can I give you? "
Jiang Pengji clicked her tongue and took the card. "Is there a system that allows men to have children?"
System: "…"
"As a Harem Intrigue System, you don't even have the ability to have children. How dare you say you are not useless!"
System: "…"
