After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Originally, the county magistrate was supposed to live in the backyard of the county government office, but now no one can enter the front yard of the county government office. The group of people quickly found an inn to stay while it was still dark. There is only one inn in the county with only 5 rooms. There is not a single guest at the moment, which is just enough room.

Finally arriving in Qu County, Mrs. Dong was relieved. When we arrived at the inn, we couldn't hold on any longer. Xiao Qingshan arranged for Dong to rest first, while Mrs. Shui guarded Dong.

Originally, Xiao Qingshan also wanted to arrange for his children to rest first, but the brother and sister were very excited. They took him to Xie Boyuan's room together. The four of them stared at each other, thinking about the current situation.

Mingjia thought that she could give her father some ideas, so she prompted: "Dad, I think this place is similar to Tianjia Village, but it is bigger than Tianjia Village."

Xiao Qingshan thought his daughter was saying that although this was a county town, it was as poor as the village. He touched his daughter's head and comforted her: "It's okay, it will get better slowly."

Mingjia felt that it would be better to talk to his father more directly: "Dad, when you first chose to settle in Tianjia Village, what did the village chief do? At that time, Tianjia Village was as shabby as the county government we see today. ?”

It suddenly brought back Xiao Qingshan's memories, when the dynasty was founded and the refugees chose to settle in Tianjiacun. Xiao Qingshan is 18 years old and an adult. Remember, when the leader decided to stay and settle in Yezhu Mountain (Phoenix Mountain), he solicited everyone's opinions.

Later, the leader counted the number of people and asked everyone what they could do. Among them, there are scholars, people who are good at carpentry, and people who are good at fish farming. Of course, the majority are ordinary farmers.

At that time, each of their families worked together to build houses and open up wasteland. In the beginning, there were not enough houses to live in, so they were first given to families with elderly people, children and women.

The village chief took his strong laborers to Yezhu Mountain to cut wood and eat a big pot of rice. In only three months, Tianjia Village was built. It is because of these experiences that although Tianjia Village is a village with mixed surnames, it is more united than some clan villages.

Xiao Qingshan told this experience to Xie Boyuan and Mingjun Mingjia. Xie Boyuan was very moved and felt that the old village head of Tianjia Village was very powerful.

Mingjia saw that his father seemed to have thought of a solution, so he stopped reminding him. Xiao Qingshan was indeed inspired and discussed with Xie Boyuan how to use the opportunity of resting the county government to learn more about the villages in Qu County.

Early the next morning, Xiao Qingshan found the innkeeper and asked the county how much wages the workers hired per day. The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic when he heard it. I asked him what he needed to do, and many relatives in his family could help.

Finally, he told Xiao Qingshan that spring plowing was over now, and there was a surplus of labor in each village. At this moment, everyone wants to find a job, even if there is no salary, it can provide some food. After all, spring is the time when families are most likely to run out of food.

Now when workers are recruited, the owner only cares about one meal. If the workers are allowed to take the meal home. The workers will all praise the employer for his kindness.

The shopkeeper said it very proudly, even a little bit elated. But Xiao Qingshan's eyes turned red when he heard that. Tianjiacun was also poor, and Qingyun County was not rich either, but those who worked in the county were still making money and taking care of the family.

Xiao Qingshan couldn't wait any longer and went back to ask Dong. How much relocation allowance is left from the court? Dong did the math and found that there were 13 taels of silver left. Xiao Qingshan took 13 taels of silver and went to Xie Boyuan's house.

Both Mingjun and Mingjia were practicing writing in Xie Boyuan's room. I don't know when it started, but Xie Boyuan took over the task of teaching Mingjun and his sister to read.

Xiao Qingshan told the shopkeeper what he had inquired about. He also told Xie Boyuan his idea. He wanted to hire villagers to clean and repair the yamen. For several villages near the county seat, each worker would be paid 10 cents a day plus a meal of black flour pancakes.

Xie Boyuan felt that he could make better use of this matter. Knowing the situation of each village and the character of the village chief, he suggested that Xiao Qingshan write a formal announcement and have it printed by the county magistrate. However, a designated person shall be notified to the head of each village. Each village will only recruit 5-6 people at first.

Take a look at who comes from each village, whether they are poor households in the village, people with skills, or they are all relatives of the village chief. As for the salary, Xie Boyuan also suggested adjusting it to 5 cents to reduce some financial temptation for the village chief.

It could also help more people, and there may be people who are stalling the progress.

Xie Boyuan may not understand the suffering of the people, but he understands human nature. Xie Boyuan perfected Xiao Qingshan's plan very well. Mingjia listened and praised repeatedly, what a great idea.

Just do it, Xiao Qingshan wrote four recruitment notices in a row and stamped them with the county magistrate's seal. Leave it to Cheng Si and the others, and order the four of them to go out to every village in the county in four directions to inform them. It was already noon now. If we came back before dark, we would inform as many villages as we could.

Cheng Si and others took the order and went out. Xiao Qingshan estimated that the announcement was sent today, and villagers from each village would come to work tomorrow, so follow-up preparations should be made quickly. After all, meals for at least dozens of people have to be prepared in advance.

Xiao Qingshan plans to hire the inn's cook and kitchen to steam pancakes for the workers. The rest has to be settled. The innkeeper said that black noodles in Qu County cost 10 cents per pound, which is more expensive than Qingyun County. It can be seen that there is a real shortage of food.

I don’t know how much grain stores there are in the county. All available manpower has been sent out, and Xiao Qingshan plans to go to the grain store to have a look in person. Mingjia wanted to go along, but was afraid of affecting Xiao Qingshan.

In the end, I decided to stay. However, I still remind my father that if he sees wild vegetables selling, he can buy more. If there is enough food, it will be vegetables. If there is not enough food, mix it with black flour to make vegetable pancakes.

Xie Boyuan left with Xiao Qingshan, while Mingjun and Mingjia continued to study and practice calligraphy.

Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan came back at noon. Neither of them knew how to cook, nor did they know how much food to prepare. They had to ask the price and came back for help.

The innkeeper already knew that it was the newly appointed county magistrate and his family who were only in his shop, and he was frightened. When I heard that the adults wanted to use the kitchen and the cook, I immediately agreed and called the cook over for questioning without saying a word.

The cook was a woman in her 40s. When the shopkeeper said that the county magistrate wanted to see her, she turned pale with fright and thought there was something wrong with lunch. Seeing Xiao Qingshan, he knelt down directly.

Xiao Qingshan quickly asked the cook to get up, and it was Mrs. Shui who came over to help the cook up. Afraid that the cook would be nervous, Mrs. Shui stayed with her, and Mingjia followed.

After understanding what Xiao Qingshan wanted to ask, the cook felt much more at ease. After thinking about it, he said: "It is a good thing for ordinary people to eat wild vegetable pancakes now. Steaming wild vegetable pancakes for workers is the most suitable thing."

In good conditions, there will be more grain and less wild vegetables. If the conditions are not good, most of them may be wild vegetables. Xiao Qingshan still hopes that the hard-working workers can eat better and win over people's hearts.
