The system wants my local master gl

Others don't know whether Song Yuyan has an elm head, but she herself knows it all.It's not that she doesn't understand Song Zhu's meaning at all, it's just that she has never thought about it before, so she didn't think about it further.

To her, Tang Zhi is Qingmei, the little sister next door, a good friend, and someone she wants to treat kindly.It's just that in her eyes, Tang Zhi is still a little girl who hasn't grown up yet, so her rationality won't let her have any love for an underage girl.

Song Yuyan didn't think too much about it, she collected her thoughts, and went home to talk to Sun'er about going to school.

Seeing that she was back, Sun'er ran back to the house in a hurry, and came out with a small pot in her arms. Then, like a couple in the middle of a passionate relationship who was forced to break up, Sun'er cruelly handed over his "little lover" clay pot to Song Yuyan.

Seeing his expression of "a strong man cut off his wrist", Song Yuyan took his little clay pot amusedly.The clay jar was quite heavy, she opened it and found that there were hundreds of copper coins inside.She had always known that this little radish was hiding money from his own house, but she never expected to save so much.

"What can you do for me?" Song Yuyan asked with a smile.

"Shu Xiu." Sun'er said concisely.

"Okay!" Song Yuyan was not polite to him, and emptied his family property openly.

Sun'er looked at the small earthen pot that was returned, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness of "looted by the robbers".But after the sadness, he happily went back to the house to pack up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and prepared to go to see Qiru with Song Yuyan the next day.

Song Yuyan didn't care about the joys and sorrows in his heart at this moment, she collected the money, and then went to Tang Zhi with the paperweight and arm rest.

Seeing her coming with a smile on her face, Tang Zhi knew that the matter of Sun'er's study had been settled, and she said, "It's all settled?"

"Well, Thirteenth Uncle is sure that I really intend to let Sun'er go to enlightenment, so he will go back to the clan to handle the subsidy for us."

Tang Zhi asked Song Yuyan about the private school that Sun'er was going to, and suddenly thought of Bing'er, she asked, "Didn't Bing'er say that she wanted to go to a private school?"

Based on what she knew about the little radish of Bing'er, she wanted to get involved in anything she was curious about.

"She thought it was fun to go to a private school. When she heard that she was going to study, her little head turned into a rattle. I asked some private schools before, but no surprise, they didn't accept girls. "

Song Yuyan was well aware of the limitations of this era, but when she went to inquire about the private school, she took the initiative to ask a question. The other party either refused directly, or looked at her with monster eyes, as if she was talking about something strange.

Besides, even if the other party wanted to, she would not dare to put an eight-year-old girl in an environment full of men.So what she wanted was to educate Bing'er by herself. Bing'er didn't need to take the imperial examination, so her teaching was enough.

Of course Tang Zhi knew that there would be no private schools that would accept girls, and she also knew that Song Yuyan didn't let Binger go to study for this reason, she just wanted to know if Binger would cause Song Yuyan a headache.Fortunately, the cake still looks very cute.

Song Yuyan remembered her purpose of coming here, and she took out the set of paperweight and arm rest that Tang Haogen needed.The paperweight is engraved with "Spring Bamboo Picture", and on the arm rest is a corner of "Dabaoshan Pingyuan Picture" drawn by them on the day they went to sketch in Huachao Festival. .

Tang Zhi could tell at a glance. After all, although she didn't know how to draw, Song Yuyan's paintings from that day seemed to be engraved in her heart. As long as she saw it again, she would always recognize it.

"This is……"

"Tang Dian entrusted me to engrave it, which means that the government wants to make a set with the pen holder and give it to Xinzhizhou."

Tang Zhi didn't know about this, and when she heard this, she suddenly realized: "I said that my brother used to go to the Yamen with that pen holder every day, but he didn't see the pen holder all of a sudden in the past few months, and he still hesitated. Ken said, it turned out that he was taken by the Ming government!"

Song Yuyan asked: "Didn't you tell the little lady about Tang Dian?"

Tang Zhi shook his head.Song Yuyan suddenly understood why Tang Haogen looked so hesitant that day. Although he said that the county magistrate bought these stationery from him with money, he was actually the county magistrate who loved to flatter his boss. She wondered if Tang Haogen paid for the county magistrate's needs out of his own pocket.

After all, the county magistrate knew that the pen holder was Tang Haogen's favorite object. If he wanted to spend money to send a set of stationery with green carvings to Xinzhizhou, he could ask Tang Haogen to find her to carve another one.

He didn't do this, so it can be seen that everything he bought with money was fake. In fact, he was greedy for Tang Haogen's pen holder and wanted more. Tang Haogen couldn't refuse him, so he had to pay for it out of his own pocket.

As for this matter, Tang Haogen naturally couldn't let the younger sister who was in charge of the accounts know, so Miss Tang didn't know about it at all.

Song Yuyan only wanted to understand it at this time, while Tang Zhi understood it when she said it just now. After all, she understood the virtue of the county magistrate and the embarrassing situation of her brother better than Song Yuyan, who was a foreigner.

Compared to Song Yuyan's disbelief, she seemed calmer, and she was used to such things, so she was going to buy the paperweight and arm rest, and asked, "How much are these things?"

Song Yuyan smiled slightly: "It's not worth a lot."

Tang Zhi didn't believe her nonsense!If it was worthless, then the county magistrate would be so cheeky to ask for it?After deliberation, she took out a small wooden box, which contained several hundred coins, which didn't look light.

"I don't know if this amount of money is enough. If not, you can ask me for it next month."

Don't look at her speaking so boldly, but in fact, this is the private money she has saved for more than half a year. She thinks that if she saves enough money, she will buy another acre of land and grow some vegetables.As Song Yuyan said, only by expanding operations can we increase income.

In this way, no matter if her elder brother is going to get married in the future or saving a dowry for her younger sister, she will not appear to be stretched.

Of course, this is not the entire family property of the Tang family, but she also has a plan for the Tang family's revenue. The purchase of bamboo carvings is an additional expense, so she can only use her own money to fill the vacancy.

Song Yuyan knew that if he didn't take the money, the little girl would definitely be at odds with her, so she took out a small amount of money in the small wooden box.

Yimoqian, also known as "hundred money", is the unit of one hundred Wenqian.However, due to the lack of copper coins in the imperial court since the Five Dynasties, some money was not enough, so the official defaulted to using a small amount of money to replace one hundred Wen coins.

For example, the official 77 Wen is counted as a hundred coins, the street market is 75 Wen, the ones used to buy vegetables are 72 Wen, and calligraphy and painting are 56.

It is precisely because the hundreds of coins for calligraphy, painting and writing are too short, so the prices of these paintings and calligraphy are very expensive.

Song Yuyan's bamboo carvings can be regarded as calligraphy, painting and writing, so she took 56 Wen. In terms of market transactions, she earned more than 200 yuan, but in fact she used the money to buy vegetables, but she could only repay 21 Wen.

Tang Zhi was not stupid and sweet, she stuffed Song Yuyan with two more money and said, "Don't bully me because I don't know the price of bamboo carvings."

Song Yuyan smiled and did not refuse.

In modern times, she is also well-known in the Liuqing sculpture industry. Although the price of a piece of work is not as good as that of the teachers, taking the pen holder as an example, if she performs at her highest level, it is worth [-] yuan. about.

Paperweights and armrests are a little cheaper, and those with a slightly more complicated composition, such as this "Bamboo Liuqing Dabaoshan Pingyuan Picture Armrest", can sell for 1000 yuan, while paperweights with simple compositions are worth 300 yuan.

So she sold it to Miss Tang at the price of cabbage.

As for Tang Haogen being bullied by the county magistrate, although Song Yuyan was angry, he would not be filled with righteous indignation to avenge Tang Haogen's county magistrate.Of course she could play tricks on the bamboo carvings to vent her anger for Tang Haogen, but the bamboo carvings were produced by Tang Haogen, and the county magistrate could easily anger Tang Haogen.

But that doesn't mean the matter is over like this. She first took out a small notebook in her heart and wrote down a note to the county magistrate, and then settled the score with him when she found an opportunity in the future.

After Tang Zhi took the wooden box back to the room, Song Yuyan told her another thing: "By the way, Miss Tang, I recently returned to my hometown and found that there are many wandering people in this village, so don't go to the vegetable garden at night. Now, be more careful during the day."

In fact, she wanted Tang Zhi, Tang Haogen and others to be aware of the possible chaos in the future and to be more careful, but it was also true that she saw a lot of idle people on the road back home.

In fact, as early as April, there were already rumors of thieves in Dinghai County.Of course, this thief does not just refer to ordinary thieves, but the kind of robbers who specialize in killing people and stealing goods. That is to say, the civil unrest that Song Yuyan saw in the original owner has quietly come.

She even thought that Li Yao's appearance might also be related to this matter.If he was still able to find decent work now and then, as he had been before, he would not have the time to travel all the way to her to ask for benefits.Unless it is said that there are a lot of people who can't survive, and they flock to the city to find a job. There are more people competing with Li Yao, so that Li Yao can't compete with others and is eliminated.

Tang Zhi nodded and said, "My brother told me about this, and he also said that some people's homes were burglarized at night, so you need to be careful."

After she finished speaking, she changed her mind, the walls of the Song family were much higher now, and even a thief who visited the Tang family would not go to the Song family.When Aunt Lie built the fence for the Song family, it was a mistake.

Tang Haogen not only told her, but also told her that if the number of these homeless people continued to increase, then even if he was the official of the yamen, there might be people who boldly went to the vegetable garden to steal vegetables, and it would be a big loss for her to do a good job in the vegetable garden psychological preparation.

Tang Zhi was already mentally prepared, but when she thought about the vegetables she worked so hard to put into other people's pockets, she felt depressed no matter how she thought about it.

When Tang Haogen came back from the Yamen in the evening, his brows were almost wrinkled this time.Seeing this, Tang Zhi didn't want to bother him with trivial matters at home, so he just took out the paperweight and arm rest, and said:

"Song Dalang asked me to give it to you."

When Tang Haogen saw these two objects, his gloomy expression disappeared immediately, and he picked them up and looked at them with full expectation.Seeing this, his face collapsed again.

Tang Zhi asked suspiciously: "Brother, I think these two objects carved by Song Dalang are much better than that pen holder, aren't you satisfied?"

Tang Haogen said: "I'm so satisfied! It's because I know that the carvings of these two objects are better than the previous ones, so I feel even more reluctant to send them out—"

He suddenly realized something, and quickly changed his words, "Ahem, sell it."

Tang Zhi looked at him with a half-smile: "Brother, since it was given to Ming Fu, why do you have to cover it up!"

"You know?!" Tang Haogen felt uneasy, and tried to defend himself, "Mingfu didn't take mine for nothing, he said he would give me money."

Tang Zhi snorted: "You didn't get your monthly salary back last month, so the so-called 'give you money' in the Ming Dynasty is actually asking you to exchange your monthly salary with bamboo carvings!"

Although the salaries of subordinate staff and officials are distributed by the imperial court, the wages of subordinate staff in local yamen are in the hands of the chief.If they met a poor chief, the subordinates might not get their wages. In order to survive, they could only bully and blackmail ordinary people.

Since Tang Haogen entered the yamen, his monthly salary was rarely deducted. This time, if the county magistrate hadn't had the idea of ​​flattering and took a fancy to his pen holder, he would not have such a dirty idea.

Tang Haogen kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, and dared not speak.It is his younger sister who holds the most economic power in the family, so he is afraid of offending her, so he wants to go to the street to buy a shop and drink the northwest wind.

Tang Zhi said a few words to him, but she didn't really scold him where it hurts, after all, she understood her brother's situation.

After the story was over, Tang Zhi asked him, "Then the eldest brother is still frowning when he returns home today, what's the reason?"

Tang Haogen said: "What else can it be? This May and June is the time to collect the summer tax, but Nazhizhou went to Guangde Lake and Dongqian Lake, and when they came back, they asked the counties to call three hundred people to clean up the mud and dredge it. The river course. Guangde Lake and Dongqian Lake have little to do with our county, and it’s the busy season of farming, so how can we gather so many people!”

Although there are subsidies for recruiting civilian husbands to build canals and dredge rivers, they are only responsible for three meals a day for civilian husbands.And these jobs are hard and dangerous. If you are lucky, you can come back intact. But if you are unlucky, you will suffer minor injuries, but it will be more serious if you fall into the river and drown.

But it's normal to do these jobs during the slack season. Going during this busy time is tantamount to killing the farmers!

Xinzhizhou probably also knew that the fields needed manpower during the busy farming season, and if all the manpower was dispatched from Yin County, there would be trouble, so he came up with a way to divide the number of people, so that every county except Dinghai County called more than [-] people past.

More than [-] people are not many for a county, but no one will be willing to be one of the more than [-] people, and some troubles will inevitably occur at that time.

This is just one of the reasons for Tang Haogen's troubles. The most important thing is that some powerful and wealthy households secretly filled Guangde Lake and Dongqian Lake to make polders. It is polder land filled by rich and powerful families, and it is only regarded as "silt", so it is used in the name of dredging the river to "destroy the land and return the lake".

Doing so is bound to offend those powerful and wealthy households.Tang Haogen is not on the side of the rich and powerful. He also thinks that Xinzhizhou's approach is very beneficial to the country and the people.However, he has worked in the yamen for many years and has often come into contact with these wealthy and powerful households. He naturally knows that if he offends them, the future work of Xinzhizhou may be hindered a lot.

He hoped that Xinzhizhou could use a step-by-step approach to solve these problems step by step, but as a county government official, he didn't even have the opportunity to show his face in front of Xinzhizhou, let alone offer him advice.

The county magistrate had the opportunity to persuade Xin Zhizhou, but Tang Haogen knew that it was impossible based on the virtue of his boss.

Tang Haogen sighed, then hugged a jar of wine at home, and ran to chat with Song Yuyan.

Tang Zhi "sent" him to Song's house. Song Yuyan saw the two brothers and sisters, one was holding the wine jar, the other had an expression of "you know how to do it", thinking that she might have to drink tea for another night.
