Datang Live Room

I heard that although Fourth Master Jin made a lot of money this time, he also suffered a lot of losses.

I have to deal with the stolen goods and recuperate at the same time, so I don't have time to take care of myself for the time being.

This month's work points were distributed to all the people in Kuoding County.

Because of the bumper potato harvest, Yan Kai specially gave everyone a harvest prize.

The people of Kuoding County are now very different from those a few months ago.

Although they still wear tattered clothes when working in the fields, if there is a holiday, everyone will wear new clothes.

And because they eat well and are full, almost everyone has a rosy complexion and looks much stronger.

Many people have more work points than they can use up, but they still have them.

When Yan Kai saw this situation, he simply got a single room at the outside of the newly built dormitory building.

A sign was hung: Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

"Magistrate Xiaoyan, what does this supply and marketing cooperative do?"

Zhou Dashan was wandering around the area when he had nothing to do. He saw the sign hanging here by Yan Kai, and after asking what it was called, he asked curiously.

"This supply and marketing cooperative is where things are sold!"

Yan Kai opened a large window near the outside and exposed the inside of the room.

"Look, these needles, threads, and things like oil, food, tools, etc. are all there."

Yan Kai explained: "You see, there are also bacon and other things. If there are guests at home at that time, and you want to buy some meat to entertain the guests, you can come here."

"Work points are still used, and the price is the same as when work points are distributed every month. That means everyone can use their work points if they want to."

Hearing what Yan Kai said, Zhou Dashan grinned: "This relationship is good, this relationship is good, County Magistrate Xiaoyan really thinks about his family."

As he spoke, he looked inside, licked his lips and said, "The old man is also greedy after hearing what Magistrate Xiaoyan said. Why don't you give me two taels of bacon and I'll go back and make some porridge."

"Okay!" Yan Kai asked an official to bring the villagers' work points book to sell goods here, and asked him to find Zhou Dashan's page and subtract the work points.

Zhou Dashan weighed two ounces of meat with his own hands. Zhou Dashan said with a smile: "Your business is going to be a loss, Magistrate Xiaoyan. How can any meat seller make the scale so prosperous?"

The so-called scale is prosperous, which means that the end of the scale pole is raised high. Although the weight is hung at the position of two or two, the actual weight is definitely more.

Yan Kai whispered to Zhou Dashan: "Didn't I see you coming, Uncle Zhou? You have to keep it a secret!"

Zhou Dashan was so happy that he laughed and said, "Thank you so much, Magistrate Xiaoyan."

Yan Kai sent Zhou Dashan away and turned around to see Chu Suiliang standing behind him.

"Didn't you say you planned to return to Chang'an?"

"Well, I'll stay for a few more days before leaving." Chu Suiliang said with some regret, "I won't be able to eat your food when I go back."

"And staying here makes me feel... indescribably comfortable. Let's wait until next year to come back."

Hearing what Chu Suiliang said, Yan Kai smiled and said: "Zheng Zhixun's staff is not enough. Why don't you tell His Majesty that you come to my place?"

Chu Suiliang rolled his eyes at him. His current official position in the fifth rank was higher than that of Dengzhou Governor, so Yan Kai dared to say this.

Of course he also knew that Yan Kai was joking.

"Otherwise, next time you come, invite Master Ouyang and Master Yu too, and I can give you a kickback."

Yan Kai still doesn’t give up.

Chu Suiliang smiled: "Master Ouyang likes wine. If you can get some good wine, it will not be difficult to treat him. But Master Yu has been indifferent to fame and wealth all his life and is aloof. I'm afraid it will be difficult to invite him."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's okay to hire someone."

It would be a pity not to be able to meet such a person.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Chu Suiliang wandered around again.

Yan Kai returned to the county government office and called Zheng Zhixun to pay everyone's wages.

All the craftsmen were extremely grateful to Yan Kai, and he couldn't get used to it.

As soon as he ran out, Luodian Zhou and his son caught up with him again.

"Magistrate Xiaoyan."

"Master Luo, what's the matter?"

"Can we ask for leave?" Luo Tian Zhou was a little embarrassed.

It seems a bit unethical that Yan Kai gave him such a large salary and asked for leave as soon as he took the money.

"Excuse me for leave, what can I do?"

Luodian Zhou looked at his son with his head lowered next to him and said, "Didn't I tell Magistrate Xiaoyan last time that this silly boy wanted to get a wife? Because Magistrate Xiaoyan paid high wages to our father and son, so this I have enough money to accompany my family."

Yan Kai remembered that such a thing did happen. It seemed that Luodian Zhou's son was going back to get a wife.

"This is a good thing!"

Yan Kai thought for a moment and asked, "How many days will it take for you to go back?"

Seeing that Yan Kai meant yes, Luodian Zhou quickly said: "We leave Dengzhou and walk northwest along the Yellow River and then to Dongping Lake. We then take the canal across Xuzhou to Huai'an. It only takes a few days."

"I also checked with Taoist Sun. It will be an auspicious day in seven days. Although the other party is from a wealthy family, she is a concubine. She said that as long as the family has enough wealth, she can marry us at any time."

"So let them get married after seven days, and then I can come back."

Yan Kai calculated that it was only about half a month. He had stayed in Kuoding County for a long time, and he wanted to go out for a walk.

Now that everything in Kuoding County has been settled, there is not much need for him. In addition, the canal Luodian Zhou mentioned is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

He had never seen it before, so he wanted to see it.

Originally, the county magistrate could not leave his territory at will.

But now his relationship with Chun Yunan, as long as he didn't leave for too long, Chun Yunan would definitely turn a blind eye.

So he thought about it and asked Chunyu Zhen to guard Kuoding County. He took Zheng Zhixun and Zhou Tong to follow Luo Tian and return in half a month.

He even prepared a cart full of gifts for Luo Tian Zhou.

That mother-of-pearl pipa made him a lot of money, and this thing was nothing compared to it.

Only Huang Rong looked at Yan Kai with some dissatisfaction: "You want to run out now, how do you want me to report it?"

Yan Kai said with a smile: "Follow me, and if I do something, you will report it as well, just blurry where I am with Chunqiu brushwork!"

"Hmph!" Huang Rong snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Although he was traveling far away, he was followed by Zheng Zhixun, Zhou Tong and several guards.

Sister Yan and Yan Laoer didn't say much, they just told them to be careful on the road.

First, Chu Suiliang was sent away, and then on a misty morning, Yan Kai and others drove several carriages and quietly left Kuoding County.

Started a short trip to the south of the Yangtze River.
