The whole morning was full of chaos, even chaos. Many more villagers came one after another. The innkeeper and the grain shopkeeper were like two door gods, guarding the door of the inn. Help the villagers answer their questions, and then guide the villagers to work in the county government.

When Mrs. Dong saw that everyone had something to do, she stayed idle by herself. He went to the kitchen to help boil water. The cook and the village woman were shocked and did not dare to ask the county magistrate's wife to help with the work, so they quickly invited her out.

Xie Boyuan ordered a few blank booklets and was free. For a few copper coins, Mrs. Shui could do the job herself, and I remember that Mrs. Shui was more professional in accounting than him.

You must know that Mrs. Shui once learned accounting from her mistress, and she will help her read the account books at the end of the year. Xie Boyuan has never come into contact with these. The Xie family has a branch that manages all the family business. The direct descendants only need to study with peace of mind.

Ming Jia looked at it for a long time and cast a strange look at Xie Boyuan, probably meaning: You don't even know how to do this! Xie Boyuan was vomiting blood. He was originally recognized as the most talented person!

In the end, the most talented person was reduced to delivering water to Xiao Qingshan and others. Then Xie Boyuan replaced Mingjun, and Mingjun could finally come back to rest.

Mingjun was obviously very tired when he came back, but he was very excited. I asked my mother and sister to tell me what I had learned in the morning. My wrist is sore, and I still want to write a travel diary in the afternoon to record these things. Mingjia felt that what her brother wrote was not a travelogue but a diary.

At noon, the villagers returned to the inn for dinner. Seeing that each person received 3 cakes, they were very happy. If he hadn't stopped him, some people would have wanted to knock Xiao Qingshan directly.

All the villagers only ate one pancake and planned to keep the rest to take home. If they didn't have to work in the afternoon, they might only eat half. The pancakes Mr. Xiao gave me had a lot of grain, they were more delicious than my own pancakes, and they were quite filling.

After eating, the villagers were ready to go back to work. Xiao Qingshan told him to rest for half an hour before going back to work. The villagers were left to rest in the inn lobby and then returned to the hotel room.

Xiao Qingshan was also very tired this morning. Taking advantage of this moment, he should also take a good look at it. Is there anything he missed?

Chen Xiaoliu's handwriting is too ugly, not as good as Ming Jun's handwriting. Why don't you let Mingjun record it this afternoon? No, if Mingjun is tired, the lady will probably be angry.

It is better to let Chen Xiaoliu and Cheng Si change, and let Xiaoliu lead the workers to work in the afternoon.

When Mingjia came in, she saw her father sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, thinking that his father was asleep and was about to go out. She heard Xiao Qingshan calling her. Looking back, Xiao Qingshan was looking at her, as if he had just woken up.

"Dad, is the county government office big? Can I grow fruit trees in the backyard?" Mingjia is worried that her fruit trees will wither if they are not planted! Xiao Qingshan also thought of the cart of fruit trees.

No wonder he always felt like he'd forgotten something. In the afternoon, we arranged to clear an open space and plant fruit trees. The backyard of the county government office is a courtyard with two entrances, and there is a large open space at the end. It is completely enough to raise fruit trees.

"Then daddy, don't forget to help me ask anyone who has raised fruit trees. I will also learn to grow fruit trees myself." Mingjia said seriously, there is no reason why Xiao Qingshan would not agree.

The workers all went to work, and the cook and her helpers tidied up the inn hall. In fact, the working women can collect their wages and go home. But she wanted to wait for her husband to come home with her.

It just so happened that Mingjia also wanted to chat with the woman. The woman saw that the young lady from Mr. Xiao's family, who was fair and tender, came over to chat with her. She wasn't afraid of this young lady, but she really didn't know what to talk about with a 4-year-old baby.

The result surprised the woman. The 4-year-old baby not only spoke clearly, but also asked detailed questions. In a short while, she had already told them how many people there were in their village, whether there were any scholars, and whether any of them had any skills.

She even asked how many children her size were in the village. Finally, he called his brother out and asked how many children in the village were as good as the young master.

In the village, all children are born, as long as they stutter and don't starve to death. The whole family is busy with stuttering and has no time to seriously teach their children to speak. Therefore, many children still have unclear speech and cannot express themselves coherently when they are 4 years old.

After her husband came over from work and collected his wages together, the woman and her husband went home together. She was still in a daze on the way, and she felt as if she had talked a lot, about their village, the village next door, and even her natal village.

As villagers from each village returned to the village one after another, not only did they bring back cakes, but everyone also brought back money. The village was in a state of excitement. People who went to work in the county came to see many villagers, asking whether it was true or not, and whether they were still recruiting people.

When I heard about harvesting fresh wild vegetables, my eyes lit up and I wanted to go out and dig them immediately. The woman who stayed to help in the kitchen returned to the village and immediately became the envy of all the women in the village. She only had to help steam pancakes in the kitchen and earn 5 cents a day and three large pancakes.

There are also some daughters-in-law whose natal families live in other villages, who want to go back in the dark to tell their natal village about the recruitment of workers and harvesting of wild vegetables in the county. Later, I heard someone said that the number of workers was limited, so I gave up.

All the smart people have gone to the village chief's house. This kind of good thing cannot be done by one family, and must be rotated in the village. The whole night, the villages around the county did not sleep well.

In the county inn, Mingjia looked at his father and uncle Yuan, sitting weakly in his chair like an eggplant beaten by frost. Even Uncle Cheng Si and Uncle Xiao Liu, who were usually very energetic, had dull eyes, probably feeling empty-headed.

Originally, we sat together to chat about today's gains and problems discovered. However, we found that no one wanted to talk. They were all silently drinking warm water to moisten their throats.

Xie Boyuan felt that he had never said so many words in one day in his life. Back then, when he went deep into the enemy camp alone, fought with the Confucian scholars and finally convinced the other party to join the Holy One, he did not say as much as he did today.

In the afternoon, when he was asking villagers and taking notes in the tea shed, he felt a little dazed. He, the Wenquxing of the Xie family back then, is now the first military advisor personally appointed by the Holy Emperor. How did he fall to this level step by step?

Seeing that no one wanted to talk, Mingjia pretended to be curious and looked through the records. Dad asked very detailed questions, no wonder everyone is so tired.

It is estimated that more villagers from the village will come to work tomorrow. The announcement only said there were five villagers in each village, but it didn't say how many villages there were! Then you have to be busy tomorrow!

Ming Jia thought for a while: "Dad, why don't you ask the bookkeeper tomorrow to ask the scholars in the county! This will be too hard for you." Xiao Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up, this method is OK.

Xie Boyuan suddenly felt that he should stay away from Xiao Qingshan. He didn't even think of asking a scholar for help. It’s not like after playing chess with straight-minded people for a long time, your thinking becomes simpler.
