In fact, Chen Chu was not worried that the six thousand people in front of him could still deal with it although the burden was a bit heavy. Chen Chu was worried that the refugees gathered here continuously after hearing the news. If there were another few thousand people, it would be difficult to deal with it.

Worried about this, Chen Chu asked: "Mr. Deng, are there still refugees coming to our Longhu Village continuously?"

Mr. Deng nodded and said, "Yes, and there is a tendency to be intensified." When he spoke, Mr. Deng looked worried, and obviously he also thought of the food problem.

"By the way, has the grain I bought from the shopkeeper I asked to buy, shipped it?" Chen Chu is now particularly concerned about the issue of food.

"It was all shipped a few days ago, with a total of 700,000 kilograms. Now it's all stored in the warehouse. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Chen Chu shook his head, "No need, I can trust Deng Gong's affairs."

Mr. Deng was moved immediately and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you lord."

Chen Chu lowered his head and thought about the things in the village. Mr. Deng and others knelt on the side and stared at Chen Chu intently. After a while, Chen Chu asked again: "How many middle-aged people are there in the 6,000 people in the village at present? How many middle-aged men are there?"

Mr. Deng immediately took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and said, "Report to the lord, there are 4,956 men among the six thousand people in the village, including 3,256 men in the middle."

Chen Chu was a little surprised. He thought that Mr. Deng and others had not paid attention to this problem at all, but he did not expect Mr. Deng to have done it well. Chen Chu couldn't help but nodded secretly: I didn't expect Mr. Deng's internal affairs ability is still very strong! It seems that Mr. Deng's internal affairs ability may not be worse than that of ordinary internal affairs talents with names in the Three Kingdoms.

"Very good, Mr. Deng, you did a good job!" Chen Chu couldn't help but praise, which made the old man feel a little excited.

"Mr. Deng, immediately select one thousand of the best physiques from these more than 3,000 middle-aged men. I will come to see you in a few days." Chen Chu gave Mr. Deng another task.

"My lord, please rest assured, I will do this." Perhaps because of the praise from Chen Chu, Mr. Deng's tone and expression when he spoke became more confident.

Chen Chu nodded and then began to think about it again. He remembered that there was one more thing, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

What the hell is it? Oh, right!

"Mr. Deng, I also want you to select blacksmiths who can make blacksmiths among these refugees. I will be useful at that time."

Blacksmith! This is very important! In the future, the weapons and armor of his army will be built by them.

Deng Gong listened carefully, and then respectfully agreed to promise: "Yes, I have recorded it."

Chen Chu thought about it again, feeling that everything he should have ordered, so he said, "Those are the things for the time being. If you have nothing to do, go down."

When Mr. Deng and others heard this, they immediately stood up and bowed to Chen Chu and said, "My lord, please rest well, we will leave."

When he was about to leave, Mr. Deng suddenly remembered something again and asked for instructions: "Master, please make a decision about the refugees surrendering to our village."

Chen Chu thought about it and found that this matter was really impossible to solve now. Although preventing the influx of refugees is the best and most direct way, these refugees are already on the verge of despair. If they are provoked by people with ulterior motives without hope, then they are likely to become a destructive force. Now Chen Chu has no strength to deal with this situation at all.

Alas! It seems that we have to build up the armed forces as soon as possible!

"Mr. Deng, I have considered this matter and I will accept refugees for the time being. However, one thing to remember is that the refugees who join our Longhu Village must be young and middle-aged, or have a skill. In addition, select some smart and reliable people and let them spread rumors in various parts of Bingzhou, which means that the food in our Longhu Village has been exhausted due to emergency rescue of the victims."

Mr. Deng is a smart person. After a little consideration, he understood Chen Chu's intention. "Yes, I understand. Please rest well, lord, I will leave."

After Mr. Deng and others withdrew from the villa, Zhang Rui, who had not spoken, suddenly jumped in front of Chen Chu. However, at this time, Zhang Rui's pretty face looked a little angry.

Chen Chu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, so he smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Rui'er, who made you angry?"

"You." The answer was brief and powerful, but Chen Chu was depressed: When did he make this baby angry?

"Ri'er, what do you mean?"

Zhang Rui widened the eyes of Yueyaer, and pouted her bright red lips and said angrily: "Brother, why do you say that only young and middle-aged people are allowed to come to our village? What should those old people do?" Speaking of this, Zhang Rui's eyes were red.

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment. He could not have imagined that the girl in front of him was so kind! In front of her, Chen Chu couldn't help feeling ashamed.

But Chen Chu would not change this decision. In this era of chaos, the first thing he had to do was to do everything possible to strengthen his own strength before he could talk about anything else. Otherwise, it would be a woman's kindness. Not only would she not be able to save people, but she would instead trap herself and end up harming more people.

"Rui'er, do you believe in brother?" Before he knew it, Chen Chu pressed Zhang Rui's shoulders and asked with a sincere look at Zhang Rui's eyes.

Zhang Rui's heart trembled inexplicably, and then her anger quickly retreated from her pretty face, replaced by a faint shyness. Zhang Rui nodded gently, lowered her head and did not dare to look at Chen Chu.

"Brother promises you that as long as your brother's strength is strong enough, he will definitely help all the people in need in the world. Ruier, please stay by your brother's side forever and urge your brother, okay?"

Chen Chu looked at Zhang Rui with a burning look, and Zhang Rui's head lowered even lower. At this time, Zhang Rui's heart was so excited, just like a deer bumping into her chest. She was thinking: Big brother is so too much! Don't you know if a man or a woman is not allowed to kiss? You still have to answer such words!

Just as Zhang Rui was thinking about it, Chen Chu asked again. Zhang Rui finally nodded in slightest lightly.

Chen Chu was immediately delighted and naturally hugged Zhang Rui into his arms. The soft jade fragrance was in his arms, and a faint fragrance touched Chen Chu's olfactory nerves and his heart.

So excited! Twenty-three years have passed! I finally know what it feels like to hold a beautiful woman!

Just then, outside the villa.

Mr. Deng hurriedly walked out of the villa and looked around. He happened to see the mistress passing by. So he grabbed the mistress and stuffed a stack of bamboo slips into the mistress and said, "Missenger, send these to the lord."

The mistress was a famous slip of Longhu Village. When he saw Mr. Deng standing at the door of the lord's villa, he didn't go in, but asked him to send things in, and he became alert.

"Mr. Deng, why don't you send it in by yourself?" Xiao San said with a bitter look on his face.

Mr. Deng glared at his eyes, "Why, are you still pushing me if you ask me to give you something to my lord?"

"Yes, yes, can't I go now?" Xiao San said hurriedly, then ran into the villa with a stack of bamboo slips in his arms.

Looking at the mistress's back, a malicious smile appeared on Mr. Deng's face.

Just as Chen Chu was holding Wen Xiang's body was faintly relieved, a bang suddenly came from the door, which immediately alarmed the two of them.

Zhang Rui stood up from Chen Chu's arms as if frightened, and looked at the door in panic. She saw the mistress standing there in a stunned state, with a large stack of bamboo slips under her feet. It was obvious that the sound just now must have been made when the bamboo slips fell to the ground.

Zhang Rui was so embarrassed that she suddenly turned her head and glared at Chen Chu, who made her look ugly. Then she gently came on Chen Chu's instep, and then turned her head and ran upstairs. At that moment, Chen Chu saw a pretty face that was as red as if it was about to be blood from a low place.

Chen Chu looked at the pretty back that was disappearing quickly, and still recalling the feeling he had just felt. That feeling was so wonderful! But unfortunately it was interrupted!

Thinking of the person who interrupted his good deeds, Chen Chu quickly walked towards the door. At this time, the mistress was still in a daze.

Seeing that the lord walked towards him angrily, the mistress was so scared that she immediately knelt down, "Yes, I'm sorry lord! I, I don't know you are here,..." The mistress said in horror, and at the same time she complained to Mr. Deng in her heart.

Chen Chu originally planned to scold the mistress and joke, but when he saw that he was so scared, he had to give up.

"Okay OK, that's not a big deal, don't be afraid. Get up."

"Thank you, lord." The mistress stood up, still looking a little nervous.

"Missan, are you here to give these bamboo slips?" Chen Chu asked, picking up a roll of bamboo slips and looking at them.

The mistress then remembered why he was. She quickly squatted down and picked up the stack of bamboo slips, and said, "Lord, these bamboo slips were sent by Mr. Deng."

Chen Chuchao nodded in the lobby and said, "Let it be on the case."

"Yes." The mistress hurriedly carried the bamboo slips and ran over, put the bamboo slips on the table, and rolled them up in rolls. Then she returned to Chen Chu and bent down and said respectfully: "Lord, if there is no order, the villain will take his leave." Chen Chu nodded.

The bamboo slips sent by Mr. Deng recorded the detailed accounts of the past month. There was nothing to do with him, so Chen Chu sat by the desk and started reading.

Zhang Rui has never come out. It seems that the scene just now makes her very embarrassed.

It was dusk, a middle-aged man dressed in a servant walked into the villa under the guidance of a mistress.

"Lord, this is Mr. Li's housekeeper." Miss San said.

The middle-aged man immediately clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said respectfully, "I have seen an adult, this is an invitation from my youngest son. My youngest son has arranged a banquet and must invite him to appreciate his face." As he said that, the middle-aged man took out an exquisite invitation from his arms.

The mistress first took the invitation and then brought it to Chen Chu. Chen Chu took a casual look and said, "You go back to your son and say I'll be there soon."

"Yes. A small departure."

After the middle-aged butler left, Chen Chu said to the mistress beside him: "Go and prepare horses."

"Yes." The mistress immediately ran out of the villa.

A moment later, Chen Chu rode on the horse that the mistress brought over. Just as he was about to set off, Chen Chu said to the mistress: "Remember to prepare supper to deliver to the lady."

The mistress couldn't help but mutter: "Why is it a lady? It should be the mistress."
