Bab 140: 140 Acquiring Grapes (First Update)

Li Xianyun led a group of people to set up tables, benches, baskets, scale beams, scale weights, and so on.

Then she assigned tasks to everyone.

She chose two strong and honest men to handle the weighing and another two men to inspect the quality of grapes. Zhuo Ma, who could read, was responsible for record-keeping, and Youlan was in charge of settling accounts with silver.

Li Xianyun had brought out a considerable amount of fragmented silver and copper coins from the palace, which she entrusted to Youlan.

As the village chief, Habu commanded respect and was well-regarded by the people, so he and another man were tasked with maintaining order.

Li Xianyun didn't assign any task to Bater but had him follow her instead.

The villagers were a mixed bunch, with the good and the bad, and there might be some unreasonable ruffians, so it was good to have someone to protect her.
