Yang Xu sighed and was about to speak when an official from the Ministry of Personnel came over and said angrily: "Mr. Yang, let's do our own thing well, why bother causing trouble?"

Yang Xu frowned and pointed at the girl and said, "If I don't save it, this little life may be gone!"

The official said with disdain: "Every year, refugees will appear outside the city, and many refugees will die of illness! Don't worry about such things, just be used to it!"

"It's good if you're used to it?"

Yang Xu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "What if it was your daughter who was sick?"

The official snorted and said unhappily: "If it were my daughter, I would ask the doctor to treat it with care! This girl... is just a bad life!"

Yang Xu smiled instead of anger and said, "In your eyes, these refugees may be a bad life! But in my eyes, they are the same as yours, and there is no distinction between noble and humbleness! They are the people of my country, and also the people of Your Majesty. Do you regard Your Majesty's people as a bad life, where do you place Your Majesty?"

"You...you...I am kind to advise you. Not only do you refuse to listen, but you also slander me in turn! If you have the ability, you can treat me! There are so many refugees, how many people can you save!"

The official sneered, shook his sleeves hard, and turned around and left.

When several other officials saw that Yang Xu did not understand the rules, they also drew a clear line with him.

Yang Xu faced the expectant eyes of the families of the patients and refugees, clasped his fists and bowed in all directions, and then pointed at Yang Fugui and shouted: "Anyone who is sick, follow me and go to the Yang Family Manor together. There is my place, and there will be a doctor to treat you when you arrive."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of cheers broke out among the refugees, and the patients' families showed gratitude and kowtowed.

Yang Xu glanced around and found that there were many young and strong men among the refugees. He felt moved and then said: "In my manor, I need some hard-working young and strong work. Those who are willing to go can also follow them together! There is a place to live there, three meals a day to fill up, and there is also wages to get!"

These refugees live outside the city with simple sheds made of weeds or wood, which are difficult to shelter from wind and rain. Eating porridge twice a day can only ensure that they cannot starve to death.

When he heard that Yang Xu's manor was recruiting people, he not only had three meals a day to fill his fill, but also had wages to get. The refugees at the scene suddenly became turbulent.

Some powerful young men saw Yang Fugui walking slowly, so they followed with their children and walked towards the Yang family manor.

"My lord, although we are women, we have the strength to work and cook. I wonder if the lord is willing to take us in?"

A more courageous woman stood up and said.

When Yang Xu heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He forgot that women were meticulous and some things might be more suitable than men when they did, so he smiled and said, "Okay. Those who are capable of working can also follow them together. But I said ugly things ahead, don't want those who are inappropriate."

As soon as he said this, many women were eager to try and follow the team.

As a result, a small amount of refugees outside the city had left, and some of the remaining refugees also secretly remembered the Yang Family Manor, and were about to wait and see for a while before deciding whether to go there to seek a place to settle down.

Several other officials looked at Yang Xu as if he was a fool.

They knew that Yang Xu had a business in the imperial capital and was very profitable, but no matter how profitable the business was, he could not withstand such messing things.

Those refugees knew nothing except selling some strength. Yang Xu recruited them to the manor. Could it be that they were just used to farm?

But his manor is only a few hundred acres at best, and if he only farms, he won't use so many people at all.

There are also those women who really can't figure out what Yang Xu is going to do.

But for them, the more refugees go, the better, so as not to cause trouble and the superiors hold them accountable.

At dusk, after appeased the refugees, Yang Xu returned to the Ministry of Works to report and hurried back to the Yang Family Manor with Yang Dazhi.

Although it was getting dark, there was still a lively scene outside the gate of Yangjia Manor. The refugees lined up in groups, waiting to receive a "physical examination" from Yang Hongyu, Yang Jing and other Yangjiazhai villagers.

The so-called "physical examination" was determined by Yang Xu, mainly about age, height, whether there is disability, etc.

Usually, Yang Family Manor recruits people according to this standard.

This time, in order to accept as many refugees as possible, Yang Xu asked Yang Fugui to tell Yang Hongyu that this standard could be appropriately lowered.

But what Yang Xu didn't expect was that Yang Hongyu was full of pity for those refugees and kind-hearted, and she left one for almost every household.

In Yang Hongyu's opinion, leaving a refugee behind is equivalent to saving the refugee's family.

Because Yang Hongyu knew that although Yang Xu loved money, he was definitely not a stingy person. Since he would give wages, he would definitely not give too little. Relying on the wages he earned, refugees might be able to support the family.

After Yang Xu knew about Yang Hongyu’s thoughts, he could only smile bitterly in his heart, but he didn’t say anything.

Yang Xu's original intention of making money was to make better life by himself and the people around him, but now he thought that if he saved more people on this basis, wouldn't life be more meaningful?

Nowadays, the dividends of Yang Family Restaurant and Yang Family Perfume Shop belong to Yangjiazhai are all in Yang Xu, and are dominated by Yang Xu, and Yang Xu's own dividends are already very considerable.

With these money, even if you recruit thousands of refugees and do nothing, these refugees will be enough to support them for a year or two.

What's more, Yang Xu's purpose of recruiting refugees was not to let them have idle meals, but to prepare them to enrich their work in various parts of the manor.

In addition, Yang Xu is also planning another new industry. If this industry is built, it can absorb more refugees and earn more money.

After a "physical examination", the qualified refugees and their families were temporarily placed in the newly built large factories in the Yangjia Manor.

Although there were no beds in those factories, the ground was covered with wooden boards and thatch, and each household was assigned two beds. In the winter, the whole family snuggled together to sleep together. Although it was still a bit cold, it was many times better than sleeping in the straw sheds built outside the imperial capital.

Yang Hongyu asked the village residents to move out a few large pots to make porridge and stew soup for the refugees.

Porridge is thick porridge, and soup is bone soup.

Each of the refugees drank a bowl of porridge and a bowl of bone soup with oily fishy bone soup, and they were warm all over.

For them at this moment, Yang Family Manor is simply a paradise.

If these refugees before were full of despair about the future, they felt that they might either starve to death or freeze to death on one day.

Then now, they are full of yearning for tomorrow.
