The system wants my local master gl

When the weather was getting cooler in October, Mingzhou, which experienced several major typhoons in summer and autumn, gradually restored order under the disaster relief work organized by the government.

There were still thieves in some remote villages. After Liu Chuo talked with the soldiers and horses, the other party sent soldiers and horses to arrest the thieves, which made the arrogant thieves go into hiding.

Afterwards, Liu Chuo collected the crimes of some subordinate officials in the state capital, convicted them and drove them out of the state government office.

With this punishment, many positions were vacated in the government office. Liu Chuo didn't look for it from outside. Instead, he transferred some relatively upright subordinates in each county government office to fill the vacancies on the grounds of saving manpower. Tang Haogen's name was impressively listed.

Of course, these were all pretexts. Liu Chuo realized that the state government office might have the powerful eyes and ears of the landlord, and he was not sure whether the newly recruited subordinate staff would have the eyes and ears arranged by the powerful landlord, so he simply used someone he trusted.

Because Tang Haogen was not the only one who was transferred, no one suspected that Liu Chuo had a private relationship with Tang Haogen.

After Pang County Magistrate learned that Tang Haogen would be transferred to Liu Chuo's side as a pawn, he became kind to him, and even paid him back the bamboo carving money he owed him, which made him very "flattered".

Tang Haogen pretended not to accept it, and County Magistrate Pang said: "The money for the bamboo carvings I gave you last time, this time I gave you your monthly salary. You also know that the imperial court sometimes pays you very late, so I delayed it for a few days last time... ..."

County magistrate Pang couldn't say clearly that he wanted to take advantage of Tang Haogen last time, so he found a step to let him go down.

Although Tang Haogen was transferred to the state government office, it didn't mean that he could ride on the head of County Magistrate Pang. At this moment, he naturally wanted to follow the words of County Magistrate Pang and protect the face of County Magistrate Pang.

Magistrate Pang was very satisfied with his knowledge and let him leave with confidence.

Although Tang Haogen left the county office, he did not report to the government office immediately, because the government office was in Mingzhou City, sixty miles away from Cixi County.Even if Tang Haogen drives a bullock cart at the fastest speed, it will take an hour, and he usually goes to the Yamen very early and comes back very late, so it is unrealistic for him to live at home.

The yamen arranged a dormitory for the subordinate staff, but he only went home every time he had a break, so he was very worried about his two younger sisters.After thinking about it, he planned to move, so he said to Tang Zhi: "I want you and Xiaoye to follow me to Mingzhou. I don't worry about leaving you two girls at home."

Tang Zhi's eyes flickered, and he looked a little hesitant.At the beginning, she only cared about being happy for her brother, but she forgot that if he wanted to go to the Yamen, he would have to live in Mingzhou City.Although Cixi County is also lively, it is not as good as Mingzhou City. It would be best if you can go to Mingzhou City.

But she couldn't promise her brother: "Brother, our family is here, and the vegetable garden left by my parents is also here. When we go to Mingzhou, we have to find another house to live in, and we have to find another way to make a living. Let's not explain that there are many houses in the state." If it’s expensive, let’s talk about that land, where can we buy it?”

The Tang family can't meet their daily needs with Tang Haogen's monthly salary alone, so it is impossible for Tang Zhi to give up the vegetable garden.Tang Haogen said: "Or I won't go to Mingzhou."

Tang Zhi looked at him disapprovingly: "Although it's a pawn in the government office, you may meet more people and deal with more things. Big Brother will be able to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge... This is very good Opportunity, how can you miss it?"

Tang Ye also said: "There is a small house in the government office. The elder brother just lives in the small house and doesn't have to travel around every day. My elder sister and I are at home, we have neighbors to look after us, and Song Dalang is here, so there will be no problem."

Besides, she hadn't started learning bamboo carving from Song Yuyan yet, so if she went to Mingzhou with Tang Haogen, wouldn't she give up halfway?

Tang Haogen said he couldn't handle his two younger sisters, so he had to go to Song Yuyan and ask her to help take care of his two younger sisters.

If it was two years ago, he would definitely have been worried about entrusting his younger sister to Song Yuyan's care, but now Song Yuyan is still very reliable in his mind. With her around, he doesn't have to worry about his younger sister being bullied.

Song Yuyan heard his reason for coming, thought for a moment, and then agreed: the two families live close to each other, and if there is any big movement in the other's house, they can hear it.Moreover, she was also a little reluctant to let the Tang family move to Mingzhou. How could the harmonious neighborhood relationship she built with great difficulty make the harmonious and friendly saplings wither? !

Tang Haogen glanced at her faintly, then sighed again.

Song Yuyan: "???"

Brother, let me be honest, why do you look at me like you are looking at some hopeless idiot?

Tang Hao simply wanted to create an opportunity for Song Yuyan to come to the Tang family to propose marriage as soon as possible. Even if she couldn't afford a matchmaker, it didn't matter, at least she had to talk to him first, so as not to change things in the future.It's a pity that he didn't expect that Song Yuyan didn't have this awareness at all!

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, he looked forward to the fact that the old widower in his 50s in the alley had found a second spring in the alley, but Song Yuyan's wood was still a piece of rotten wood.

"This kid, he hasn't even had a dream, has he?" Tang Haogen secretly slandered.

However, he thought that even if he had dreamed so many times, he still hadn't resolved the major event in his life!He laughed at Song Yuyan, as if he was laughing at a hundred steps.

____

When Tang Haogen set off for Mingzhou, Tang Zhi and Song Yuyan both gave him a ride.He was transferred to the government office this time, and he might only come back two or three times a month, so he brought his winter clothes, pen, ink, paper and inkstone with him.

The neighbors asked Tang Zhi curiously: "Aren't you going to move to Mingzhou? Why do you have so many things?"

Tang Zhi asked, "Who said we're going to move to Mingzhou?"

The neighbor said: "Tang Dian has gone to Mingzhou to work, and you sisters don't want to go?"

"Brother is only going to Mingzhou to work on an errand, it's not that he doesn't want this family anymore."

The neighbor's aunt pulled her aside and murmured: "Why don't you go with me?! If you let the thief know that you only have two sisters at home, you will definitely be caught by the thief!"

Tang Zhi glanced at Song Yuyan, and said, "Thank you for reminding me, auntie, but please rest assured, I know what I know."

In fact, Song Yuyan was also worried that thieves would climb over the wall of the Tang family at night. Although she could hear the movement, if the thieves entered the house, it would not be good for the reputation of the Tang family sisters, so she made some with bamboo, nails and wood. The nails were fixed under the wall of the Tang family. As long as the thief dared to climb over the wall in the middle of the night, he would feel better.

In order to prevent the thieves from knowing the trap in advance, they kept silent.

Just this is not enough.It just so happened that Song Yuyan heard that the litter of puppies born to the Bai Can family's dog had been weaned, so she brought two of them back, one for the Tang family and the other for the Song family.

The two little milk dogs can't catch thieves yet, but the earth dogs grow fast, and I believe they will become general goalkeepers within a few months.

In the one or two months after Tang Haogen went to Mingzhou, nothing happened to the Tang family. Although there was one less person to inspect the vegetable garden, it was inevitable that some vegetables were stolen from the vegetable garden, but the loss was not too much. .

After saving for so long, Tang Zhi finally saved enough money to buy land. She went to look at the fields, but Song Yuyan dragged her to discuss: "Miss Tang, have you ever thought about finding someone who looks after the garden?"

Tang Zhi looked at her: "Why, you want to watch the garden for me again?"

Song Yuyan asked back: "If I look after the garden for the little lady, how much can the little lady pay?"

Tang Zhi gestured: "Eight hundred coins a month, no more."

Song Yuyan said: "Well, the salary is very fair."

Both of them knew that the other was not serious, but they chatted very naturally. Those who didn't know it thought that Song Yuyan was really planning to give up the job with a monthly income of more than 2000 Wen and chose to guard the vegetable garden.

That's right, Song Yuyan's current monthly income is a minimum of [-] Wen, of which [-] is the income from bamboo weaving, and the rest depends on whether she has stayed in green for sale that month.

In addition, Sun'er has already mastered bamboo weaving, so he can weave two or three bamboo baskets every day to subsidize his Shu Xiu, so the gap between the Song family's income and the Tang family's total income is also slowly narrowing.

Tang Zhi thought for a while, and said, "It's better not to, I can't afford to support you with the money I earn from selling vegetables every month."

This little girl can seriously joke around!

Song Yuyan smiled and said: "Actually, I came to discuss something with the young lady. The young lady increased the land, but have you ever thought about it, after you have an extra field, you and Xiaozhi alone can't take care of it at all."

Tang Zhi said: "Of course I thought about it, so I decided to work harder than usual. I'm really too busy. I still have a piece of land in my hand, right?"

Although Song Yuyan had never farmed, she helped Tang Zhi weed and knew the hardships involved.She often had to bend over to do farm work, and she was worried that Tang Zhi would have problems with his waist at such a young age that his appearance hadn't changed.

So after careful consideration, she came up with a solution: "Actually, I want to invest in Miss Tang's vegetable garden."

Tang Zhi: "?"

Song Yuyan explained: "It means that I will pay to buy a piece of land, or directly give you money to buy more fields, and then hire someone to take care of the vegetable garden... The proceeds are divided in proportion, so that we can pay for the cost of hiring guards. Sharing will not cause too much burden on each other."

Tang Zhi understood: "It's like you fooling Mr. Lou Erlang into building a wax garden?"

Song Yuyan choked on the word "fudge", but she didn't deny it.She doesn't just want to invest, she has already thought about the sales of vegetables:

"Vegetables and fruits are the food that the people need daily. Besides these neighbors, the fishermen and boatmen who make a living on the river also often eat vegetables and fruits. Before I propose to you, I asked someone to investigate. The kiln farm... Most of their food is under the same responsibility, that is to say, their needs are relatively large, as long as we can negotiate with them, then we don't have to worry about selling the vegetables we grow."

Tang Zhi pondered for a while, and was a little moved by her proposal.

Song Yuyan is not talking on paper, her investigation is not just a matter of asking one or two people to come and ask, she first went to Lin Yongming and Aunt Lie to understand the demand for vegetables in the industries they have been in contact with, and then asked them to inquire According to the news, where are the fruits and vegetables from the major wine shops and workshops provided.

Then she found the cook who bought the lumber yard and the little boss who was in charge of the shipyard, and found out what their needs were, so she came up with measures to deal with them.

After Tang Zhi heard her plan, he finally understood why Lou Gao was willing to contribute money and effort even though he knew she was empty-handed. With such a detailed plan in front of him, no one dared to say that her thinking was naive.

Tang Zhi didn't agree immediately, because she was very worried that once Song Yuyan invested in her vegetable garden, their relationship would become as impure as the relationship between Lou Gao and Bai Can.

All she wanted was for their relationship to be free of those interests.

But intellectually, she thinks Song Yuyan's proposal is very good. First of all, she can't manage such a large vegetable garden by herself, and the wages of hiring a person almost accounts for half of her current net income of the vegetable garden.If she runs the vegetable garden in partnership with others, then she doesn't have to bear the losses alone, and she can save money. As long as she expands the operation, the income will increase significantly.

After weighing it over, Tang Zhi said to Song Yuyan: "I promise you, but we each buy a piece of adjacent land, and the land deed is held in our own hands. Then hire another person to take care of it. The vegetables sold in your land are yours, and mine are mine. The vegetables sold locally are mine."

Song Yuyan didn't mind her making the distinction so clearly, because it's better to distinguish between favor and business in such matters, so as to avoid conflicts in the end.

After they made up their minds, they bought an acre of vegetable fields near the Tang family's vegetable garden through Lin Yongming's introduction. Because the previous owner of the vegetable field did not take care of it carefully, there were many pests, which made it difficult for them to grow vegetables. No profit, just sold it.

Tang Zhi didn't want to buy this house at first, but the land was cheap, and Song Yuyan said that there was a way to deal with the pests. She still trusted Song Yuyan in this regard, so she agreed.

After buying the vegetable field, Song Yuyan built a thatched hut on the side as a residence for the gardeners, and then spent another thousand yuan to hire a widower in his 30s to help take care of the vegetable field.

Generally, [-] Wen a month is enough to guard the vegetable garden, but what Song Yuyan is looking for is not a "security guard", but someone who can help grow vegetables, so the salary is higher.

The widower came to Song Yuyan with a 12-year-old son to intercede, saying that his son could also help with the work, so he hoped that Song Yuyan would allow him to take his son to guard the vegetable garden.

Song Yuyan left this matter to Tang Zhi, and Tang Zhi said, "Well, I'll hire you father and son to work together, and the salary will be one thousand and two a month, how about it?"

The widower hurriedly took his son to thank him, Tang Zhi said again: "But I have a few requirements, one is not allowed to guard and steal, and the other is not to be lazy."

The widower obediently complied.

The widower's surname is Huang, and his life experience is even more tragic than Song Yuyan's, because Song Yuyan is still young and has not experienced the pain of losing his wife, but he has experienced the pain of losing his father in childhood and losing his wife in middle age.

Everyone said that his fate was very hard and he could easily overwhelm his close relatives. His brothers kicked him out of the house, and his relatives stopped interacting with him. Hire him.

He knew that Lin Yongming was a denizen, so he asked him to help him pay attention to his work. Lin Yongming had observed his behavior and knew that he was honest—if he was dishonest, he would not be kicked out of the house by his brothers.Before he was evicted by his brothers, he had been doing farm work at home, so it would be great to have him help Song Yuyan and Tang Zhi.

Huang Widower is very honest, and he also told about his fate. What he is worried about is that after working for a few days, he will be driven away with this excuse. Bai Gan didn't say anything about his work, and he didn't get a penny. .

Tang Zhi said to Song Yuyan: "Then he is not really stupid, after all he will learn his lesson. I am worried that he is too honest and dare not speak out when he encounters a thief."

"His son looks pretty smart, let's observe it first!" Song Yuyan said.

After observing for a while, Tang Zhi found that Widower Huang and his son really worked hard, and Widower Huang's son, Huang Tusu, was very easy to learn. When Song Yuyan figured out a new way to get rid of pests, he would listen carefully and then implement it. in the end.

He even asked Song Yuyan for a few bells, and then tied a string to a random place in the vegetable garden every day. As long as someone or an animal touched it, it would make a jingle sound, and he and Widower Huang could immediately woke up.

Seeing that both father and son are working so hard, even though the land they just bought has no income yet, Tang Zhi still gave them some bacon during the winter solstice.Song Yuyan was more "tacky". She weaved a straw mat for the father and son, and gave a hundred cash for the festival, and asked the father and son to add something.

Although Huangtusu was clever, he was still only a 12-year-old child. He asked his father suspiciously: "Father, why did Song Dalang and Mrs. Tang give gifts separately? Aren't they a family?"

Widower Huang laughed at his son's stupidity: "Silly son, Song Dalang's surname is Song, and Miss Tang's surname is Tang. How can they be a family?!"

Huangtu Crisp: "..."

With his dad's IQ, if he wasn't there, he would definitely starve to death on the street.
