The husband's son-in-law
Chapter 104 Construction of Zhaozhou 4
There was a gap in the middle of the mountain, and mud splashed everywhere.
Gu Zhao was at the foot of the mountain. He thought it would be safe to stay far away, but he still got mud splashed on his clothes. But at this time, he didn't care about his clothes, so he lifted his robe and rushed up.
Because the sound was too loud, it was the mud puddle blown up from the top of the mountain, which frightened the yamen servants not to move.
Gu Zhaoda rushed up first, Meng Jianyun followed closely behind, Su Shiyi followed, and stammered in fright: "Small, be careful." He was obviously scared, but he followed, he wanted to protect Mr. Gu.
With the actions of Meng Jianyun and Su Shiyi, the yamen servants who were standing behind stood there as if they had just woken up from a dream, and stepped forward one after another to protect Mr. Gu.At this time, Mr. Gu had already rushed to the half-hill slope - the hill was slow.
Dirt splattered, revealing what was inside.
"Stone?"
"Is it a stone?"
When everyone saw the things inside, they spoke the vernacular, meaning no wonder no crops can be grown, why there are stones in the field, how can food grow on the rocks, no wonder no wonder.
"Pull up a piece." Gu Zhao ordered to go down.
When a stone is in hand, wipe off the dirt on the surface, revealing the original appearance. It is still stone-like, but the inside can be seen from the cracked place, which is gray-white.
It's done!found it.
Gu Zhao was very happy. He didn't expect this trip to be very smooth, but if there were no crops to grow in the mountains, then there was a problem with the land. Before that, he was worried about finding other mines. If it was iron mines, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately fortunately.
"Send people to guard and start digging rocks." Gu Zhao told Bolin county magistrate, "Now it's the busy farming season, recruit the idle people in the village to dig rocks, adult men have five pennies a day, women and children three pennies."
If the people are forced to work during the busy farming festival, the people will be miserable, but it will be different if they are paid.Take the village on the next hill as an example. There are few paddy fields and many people. Now is not the harvest season. It is not necessary for the whole family to go to the fields every day, and there are always idle people.
Three or five renminbi a day is not too much for the local people. The pork here is only six or seven renminbi a catty. In such a mountain, the stones have to be dug and transported to the processing factory——
In the later stage, there are many places to spend money, and the financial income of planting forest is really not much.Gu Zhao didn't dare to yell, so he worked hard for these common people, first bitter and then sweet, if there is no bitterness and then bitterness, where will the sweetness come from later?
"Sir, do you want to send someone to guard?" Bolin County Magistrate asked.
Gu Zhao said: "No need, outsiders don't know that these stones are useless and worthless."
That is to say, but the county magistrate of Bolin obviously knows a little about the villagers under his jurisdiction. The adults from Zhaozhou City found a mountain, and the explosion made a loud noise, and dug a hole. The stone is worthless , but the people who heard the wind would never believe it.
It's okay for them to be here, but once they leave, there will be no chaos.
The county magistrate of Bolin asked the two yamen servants to stay here, and he returned with Mr. Gu, talking to each other along the way.
"Is there such a mountain? If you find it and draw it, it's best if there are several towns in Bolin, or near the junction."
After driving all the way to the town, Gu Zhao took out the map of Bolin and began to select a cement factory. At the same time, he asked the magistrate of Bolin to post a notice that he would volunteer to participate in the labor.
"Let's recruit a thousand people first, and you can't take it if you are too old. It's okay to leave it to you?" Gu Zhao looked directly at the county magistrate Bolin and asked.
The county magistrate of Bolin was eager to work quickly, and to complete the task assigned by Mr. Gu, he immediately said yes, and Mr. Gu was assured that he would do it properly.
Gu Zhao asked the county magistrate to do it, and he led people to inspect the cement factories in the circle.There are a total of eight towns under Bolinfu County. Of course, not only one cement factory will be built. The road in Fuxian County is smooth and can be connected to three towns. The other five towns have to be built.
Unfolding the map, Gu Zhao looked at the geographic landmarks. Some places were mountains, which seemed flat but there was a mountain road ahead, and there was a detour over there, but it was impossible...
Write, write and draw, and when you are done, you have to go on a field trip.
Gu Zhao made a big move here, and he stayed for more than ten days. During the period, he asked Su Shiyi and the escort to go back, saying that he hadn't finished his work, so that the family didn't have to worry.
Before Su Shiyi and the bodyguard arrived in Zhaozhou City, the news about Gu Zhao, the newly appointed Tongzhi master, did in Bolin Prefecture has already been spread in Zhaozhou City.
"The news from the Lin family who planted the forest was confiscated by the woman who gave it away. I don't know what to do."
"Then Master Gu is sober?"
The faces of the gentry and gentlemen sitting together were bitter, and then someone said: "That's not right, I heard that Mr. Gu married a brother. Do you think Mr. Gu doesn't like women?"
"What kind of marriage? I heard it was a marriage. The newly bought mansions in Zhaozhou City are all Li Mansions."
"Then what's the use of hearing about it? If you don't think about it, you're a coward. I'm afraid you won't accept it. Don't you dare?"
Everyone laughed together again.After the joke was over, someone said again: "This new official went to Bolin first. I was thinking of going through one by one and peeling off the skin. Could it be that I don't like women, so wait for this?" .
This is not sure.
"I'm not afraid that he will charge more, but I'm afraid that he will not charge."
"Tsk tsk, Boss Chen is still arrogant. If you have such a rich and powerful person, how many pieces of skin can we give to small peddlers when we do business."
This Boss Chen has nothing to do with Mr. Chen from Zhaozhou City.It can't be said that, Mr. Chen's current three-bedroom concubine was sent by Boss Chen.
In Zhaozhou, the surnames Chen, Lin, Huang, and Li are the most, among which Chen accounts for a large proportion.
Mr. Chen is from the Central Plains, and he was transferred to Zhaozhou. This surname is actually a bit of a convenience.People nowadays value surnames and clans, especially in the south. When they saw that the new Shangguan was surnamed Chen, they subconsciously got close to him. In addition, Mr. Chen later accepted this Boss Chen, so it was more reassuring. .
Originally, there were three surnames in Zhaozhou City, and the Li surname was the big head next to the fishing village.But after Boss Chen took Master Chen's footsteps, he went on a successful journey, becoming the top three rich local tyrants in Zhaozhou, and the rest of the clingers were begging for a living in the cracks of flattery.
The other two surnames are mostly envious and jealous, so they will use their words to run on them.
Boss Chen's stomach was full, and he said cheerfully: "Xiao Huang, if you can't get it out, ask your father to tell me, and I'll take it out. I'll take out a layer of the Huang family's skin and give it to Mr. Gu." How about putting it on?"
spit!Boss Xiao Huang's face turned green.
Boss Chen was playing with the jade wrench, and his face and heart were full of joy. You, my father, will bow half your head in front of me. You dare to say such nonsense in front of me, it's up to you.
The scene was a bit cold for a while, so Lin came out to smooth things over.
"Old Chen, you are an uncle, what do you care about with Xiao Huang?"
It seems that they are taking good care of the Huang family just to smooth things over, but in this way, they have stepped on the Huang family at the feet of the Lin family.Xiao Huang's face was blue and green, he was young and energetic, he wanted to turn his face on the spot and beat up the two old men, but when he thought that the family's business was not getting better every year, he gritted his teeth and gave up.
endured.
Boss Lin finished the game, saw that Lao Chen didn't speak, cursed in his heart, smiled and continued to sing a one-man show, "Whatever he does, let's take a look first, don't worry, we will know whether to accept it or not after the end of the year."
Just as he was talking, the owner of the small business in Bolin got news, and he raised his head and said courteously to Boss Chen, "I heard that the new Mr. Gu blew up the mountain."
"? Mountain? Exploded?"
Boss Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked a stupid question, "A real mountain or a fake mountain?"
There is nothing fake about this mountain.
But now everyone's attention is on the blasting mountain, and no one is laughing at Boss Chen. The man said: "I heard that the mountain next to a village exploded half a gap. I don't know how it did it. The sound The rumble is scary."
"What did you use to fry it?"
"Cannon, cannon battle." The person who answered didn't have the confidence to do so. Who wouldn't let the cannonball explode every year when they do business during the New Year?But I have never seen a mountain exploded.
Everyone laughed when they heard the firecrackers, probably because the message was poorly communicated, Boss Chen even slapped the newsman on the head, once or twice, and the person didn't dare to talk back when he was hurt, so he just laughed, a flattering smile .
"You, you, I was appointed to say one at the bottom, and you learned three."
"Is this Zhashan still three? I've almost learned ten."
Everyone laughed.After laughing, Boss Lin said, "What about Mrs. Gu in Zhaozhou City? No movement?"
This is asking knowingly, every household in the room may have handed over the post, but Li Mansion's post has been accepted, but there is no reply or movement.At this time, Boss Lin was just testing it out, don't hide the fact that the other companies hooked up with him.
That's what Lao Chen did back then.
Now the whole family has gone ahead.
"We are recruiting, but there is no news."
Hey, this is all the workers recruited by Li Mansion have been paid off.But everything else is not bad, they are all on their own territory. Didn't the Eight Immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers? Another person said: "Listen, Mrs. Gu wants to do business."
Lao Chen and Lao Lin looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and they all had smiles on their faces.
Guessing that Mrs. Gu's business is fake, but it's true that she wants to get their money.Even if it's really a business, it's just entering their doorway, playing with Mrs. Gu and leaking some money, just in time to catch up with Mrs. Gu.
Then there is no hurry.
"Speaking of which, is there anyone here, Mr. Gu?"
Boss Chen felt that this person asked a silly question, "Can someone be sent to Zhaozhou? If there is someone, then they should rush to Beijing to go to the prosperous and rich land in the north."
Everyone laughed again, but the smile was somewhat pitiful.
Zhaozhou is poor, and that is their hometown. People with no background are transferred to Zhaozhou. Mr. Chen is considered good, not greedy, and he is not a low-ranking person in Zhaozhou. This is enough. Layers of skin are peeled off, how will the people below live.
Let's just live like this, and the bitter starvation will be over.The sympathetic small merchants here can only say this in their hearts, just like Mr. Chen today, everyone has to live, and there is a sense of proportion.
Su Shiyi is back.
As soon as he entered the gate of Li Mansion, why did he have so many embarrassments, the mansion bought someone?After entering the Moon Gate, which is through the back, and then reaching the gate of the main courtyard, Su Shiyi smiled a little, and saw an acquaintance.
"Li Chun." Su Shiyi called out.
"Wait a minute, I'll go pass it on." When Li Chun met Su Shiyi, he did not hesitate to do whatever he wanted, but he was already considered 'close', and he had a face that was nothing to a stranger. mood.
Li Chun has to take care of things now, so he can't hide, he can only shoulder the burden.
When her face turned cold, she really had a bit of the majesty of a housekeeper, and the new woman, girl, and husband were all afraid of Li Chun.Li Xia's health has improved a bit, and Li Zhouzhou let him take care of him more. Now Li Mansion has become Li Chunlue's leader, and Li Xia retreated a little and became a helper.
Li Zhouzhou looked carefully, Li Xia was really honest, he didn't care at all, and he didn't have any trouble with Li Chun.
I met Su Shiyi in the living room.
It was darker and grayer.Li Zhouzhou thought of his husband who hadn't come back yet, and wondered if he was like Su Shiyi. He suppressed his thoughts, asked the truth, and listened to Su Shiyi's details, starting from the time he left Zhaozhou City.
Li Zhouzhou listened very patiently.
Until Su Shiyi faltered and hesitated, Li Zhouzhou worriedly asked Mr. Gu what happened.
"...No, we rested in Zhuangzi one night." The more Su Shiyi talked, the more he felt that it shouldn't be said. Mr. Gu didn't do anything. Now that he said it, what if his cousin got angry when he misunderstood?
But just now there was a woman delivering tea, Li Zhouzhou, who had been listening patiently just now, interrupted before he finished speaking, and said: "There is no need to talk about these things, my husband doesn't know how to do it, just talk about Gu What serious things have you done these days?"
Li Zhou Zhou believes in fairness and does not want to waste time on these things.He patiently listened to Su Shiyi's words, that's because they were all related to the husband, but the crooked ones didn't count.
Su Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief, and talked about the serious business, Mr. Gu blew up the mountain, looked at the map for a long time, and the corvee paid the villagers to dig stones and build roads.
"...Cousin, why do you need to dig stones to build roads?" Su Shiyi couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to ask Mr. Gu, he was afraid of Mr. Gu.
Li Zhouzhou had heard his grandpa talk about it before. In fact, when he was in the village, his grandpa always liked to write and draw, and told him things he couldn't understand. Can guess some.
Outsiders can't understand the notebooks recorded by the Xianggong in the village. Only the Xianggong will, and the Xianggong is willing to tell him, depicting the scenes that he thought he could not dream of before.
When I was in Beijing, this book was kept at the bottom of the box, and I never took it out. But when I came to Zhaozhou, Xianggong found this book, looked through it from time to time, and sometimes told him about it when he saw something interesting.
"Zhaozhou is poor and has a long way to go, but if a good road is built, it will be fine."
"It is blessed with natural resources. There are seafood and tropical fruits waiting for us to discover. As Zhou Zhou said, Zhaozhou is a surprise."
Li Zhouzhou saw enthusiasm in his husband's eyes, when he was thinking about the stove, when the fertilizer was useful, and when Fu Bao slept in the crib—it was even more dazzling than these.
At this time, he said to Su Shiyi: "That stone is not worth much. If it is used well, it can build a road that will make Zhaozhou better and more prosperous."
"I'll pack some clothes. You go to Bolin to bring them this time, and tell Mr. Gu that everything is fine with me at home." Li Zhouzhou ordered Su Shiyi to wash up, have a meal, and rest.
Su Shiyi should be, and said with a silly smile: "Cousin, what you said is the same as what Mr. Gu said. They all said that the stone is worthless and can build roads."
Li Zhouzhou smiled, "Go."
A few days ago, Xianggong went to Bolin, Li Zhouzhou wandered around Zhaozhou City, recruited many people for the mansion, and also ate some local dishes, mostly ginger and garlic, and more light.
The braised stew business can be done, and compared to the consumption in Ningping Prefecture, the selling price is naturally similar.These recruitments are enough, let Brother Yu and Li Xia watch.
Li Zhouzhou wanted to transfer Li Xia to the front to manage the shop to practice. Brother Yu's face was soft, and Li Xia was honest and responsible. It is reasonable to need one who is outstanding and the other is honest, but in this way, the honest The more stupid it gets, the more powerful it becomes.
Putting these two together is also because Brother Yu and Li Xia have one heart for him.Brother Yu has been in a hurry since he settled down, eager to make money for him to open a shop, and he doesn't start work every day, Brother Yu dare not eat too much, for fear of wasting rice and making him expensive.
Like Li Xia, she got up to work before her body recovered.
Li Chun is afraid of people now, so let him go to the mansion for grinding, then only Li Xia and Brother Yu can go.For the sake of his business, the two must be able to rush out a skill.When I came to Zhaozhou on the road, Lan's mother was not with me, Li Chun was afraid of people, it was Li Xia who pushed me out, and the arrangements were well-organized and careful.
But once someone comes forward, he can choose to employ multiple people, and Li Xia will shrink back and do his own job. He has a character of not fighting or grabbing.
Definitely something to do with past lives.
Li Zhouzhou was optimistic about the shop, thinking that he would be able to open the shop for business after all the preparations were complete, unlike dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, food is the basic, if you have to worry about other things, you can't offend anyone.It's different now, it's ordinary people's business, and his family is an official, so there's no trouble with hooligans.
Brother Yu learned how to keep accounts when he was in Beijing, and followed Li Xia to see people and shops, and his father would go there from time to time. At the end of the month, he only needed to look at the account book and reconcile the accounts.
Li Zhouzhou didn't intend to devote all his energy to the stewed cooking business. He was thinking that after the road was built, he would definitely make a living by trading Zhaozhou's special products, such as fruits and seafood. The man who was an official only took care of the people's livelihood, and he would do the rest.
He is also familiar with doing business.
Li Zhouzhou laid out a plan in his mind, and adjusted it at any time according to the policy that Xianggong will make in the future. Seeing Li Chun refilling him with tea, he asked, "Has Fu Bao woke up? Forget it, I'll go and see."
Now I can spend more time with Fubao, but time will be tight in the future.
This time, Li Zhouzhou recruited a woman with a child at home. This woman's child is two years older than Fu Bao, and now she is more than five years old. She is small and looks about the same age as Fu Bao. .
When I went to the street that day, I saw the young woman carrying a basket of lotus root, arguing with the man who came to buy lotus root.
Because the lotus root joint is one head and two fingers wide, the lotus root is said to be broken by the buyer, but the woman said it is good and can be eaten, but it is only drilled in mud and needs to be scrubbed to show the lotus root to the buyer. Cut it off and buy it or don't.
This is just for the sake of a little bit.
Li Zhouzhou knew at a glance that Li Zhouzhou had a hard time, and then there was a quarrel, Li Zhouzhou couldn't understand, and finally the woman sold the lotus root and cut it up, and the lotus buyer laughed and said that he would come to you next time to buy it. The whole summer lotus root is almost tired of eating, and it is worthless.
If you get cheap, you still have to pay for it.
The woman can only apologize and say that she will come again next time.When the people left, he sighed, then cleaned up the bamboo cage, and said to the child squatting next to him: "Wait a minute, grandma will go home and cook for dinner after selling the lotus root."
Zhaozhou's name is slightly different. Some children call it A Niang, but most of the lower-level people call A Niang and A Ma.Seeing that the woman was still wearing a pair of tattered straw sandals, she knew that life was going to be difficult.
Li Zhouzhou fell in love with the little boy from the woman's family, he looked about the same age as Fubao.When he arrived in Zhaozhou, Fubao couldn't stay in the mansion all the time, he and his husband got busy, and then Fubao could only get along with the people he brought with him in the mansion. They were all grown-ups, especially his father, who loved him very much.
Fubao will give him what he wants, he will get spoiled.
Besides, they are all grown-ups and have no playmates. When he was a child, no one paid attention to him and played with him, and everyone despised him, so there was only Xing Geer who talked to him.Li Zhouzhou recalled that when he was a child, he actually envied being in groups with other people in the village.
If Brother Xing plays with others, he will be alone and can only work.
Li Zhouzhou wanted to find a child to play with Fubao, and let Fubao learn Zhaozhou dialect.Now people in the mansion who are near Fubao are all brought here. He believed that they all speak the official dialect of Beijing. His father sometimes speaks the vernacular of Xiping Village, but no one speaks Zhaozhou dialect.
Let Li Chun go over and ask, and the woman immediately agreed when she asked, and even knelt down and kowtowed to be grateful.Li Zhouzhou let him get up to answer, and asked about his name, place of origin, home address, and population.
The woman's man's surname is Lin, and everyone calls her Sister-in-law Lin/Lin's family.
Sister-in-law Lin replied immediately. She spoke Zhaozhou dialect slowly, and she finally figured it out. After speaking, Li Zhouzhou asked to go back to discuss with his family. If he wanted to, he would come to Li Mansion tomorrow and show the way. .
Worked as a handyman in the backyard of the Lifu kitchen house—not a cook.There was Li Xia who was cooking.
Three hundred texts per month.
At the beginning, Mother Lan was paid [-] Wen in Beijing, and the work of the Lin family was about the same, and more than half of it was cut down. Even so, the salary in Zhaozhou was good work, and there were many people who had to do it and ask questions.
Men can't get these for a month, let alone daughters and brothers.
The remaining lotus root of the Lin family wanted to be given to the nobleman, but the nobleman didn't want it in vain, so the beautiful and well-dressed girl around her gave her ten coins-how could it cost so much.But he couldn't understand, he was clumsy, and he looked at the nobleman's back before he could speak.
When they got home, the Lin family told their mother-in-law, father-in-law and father-in-law who were working in the field what happened today.
"Don't look at your stupidity to deceive you."
"It's just doing the laundry and cleaning the kitchen. How could it cost three hundred Wen a month?"
"Don't turn you into a dirty place." After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she felt that it was wrong, and her daughter-in-law was not a good-looking person, so she changed her words and said, "Don't go, you are not allowed to go, and you will cause trouble at home. , go out to sell a lotus root, and come back after causing these things.”
The whole family didn't believe it, even if the Lin family took ten Wen and said that the nobleman bought her lotus root money, no one would believe it.
Now at the end of summer, there are not many lotus root in the river, so we have to go deeper.In order to earn more money, her husband soaked in the river for a long time, and she went to Zhaozhou city to sell lotus roots. Her mother-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law and elder brother were busy in the fields, but the family of more than ten people barely made ends meet.
That's right, her man worked so hard to touch the lotus root, and he only sold more than ten coins a day.
Doing some housework costs [-] Wen a month, which is indeed - if it weren't for the Lin family to deal with it personally, I would have thought it was a dream.
The next day, the mother-in-law of the Lin family kept their daughter-in-law from working in the house so as not to run out. It was easy to save the trouble, but the Lin family had no choice but to worry about it and feel that it was not true. Did they really deceive her?On the third day, when the lotus root had been saved for two days, the Lin family said that she would sell it. The mother-in-law looked at it, thinking that the time had passed, and let the daughter-in-law go.
The Lin family carried lotus roots on their backs, and their son was tied in their arms. They entered Zhaozhou City wearing straw sandals. After hesitating again and again, they gritted their teeth and went in the direction pointed by the nobleman. Dare to knock on the door, thinking about it, let’s go back, it’s all a dream, how could it be possible to get three hundred coins a month.
Just then the door opened.
"Who are you looking for?"
Hearing the Zhaozhou dialect, the Lin family stammered the whole story boldly, and the man said, "Are you on the job? Then you go to the side door. Well, the alley that passes here is the side door after a hundred meters or so." , ask Li Chun to take care of it."
And then it was done.
Li Chun had an impression of the Lin family, seeing the dolls in the back of the basket, he put them down first, the Lin family's restraints said no, she came by herself, and didn't bother the nobleman to do it.
"What kind of nobleman am I? I'm a slave of the Li family." Li Chun softened his face towards the Lin family, "I waited for you all morning yesterday, why didn't you come?"
The Lin family couldn't tell a lie either, so Li Chun listened to the general idea, waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, it's a good thing you came here today, if you don't come again, the mansion will recruit others, you hurry up." It's too early, the master just opened these because he thought you were pitiful and wanted your doll to play with young master Fubao, if others don't have this number, come in first."
Now the front and back of Li Mansion are managed by Li Chun, including the front yard.Because Master Gu is not in the mansion, and there are no guests coming and going, so they are just some cleaning boys, and Li Chun can take care of things.
The written evidence made the other party draw a mortgage, which became an employment contract.
The Lin family has become a servant of the Li Mansion. She has been doing everything diligently for half a day, and the sun is about to set in the afternoon. The Lin family is actually worried about her family. If she doesn't go back, it will be too late. I do not know how to describe.
Li Chun came over with one hundred Wen, and said: "The money is packed, I will give you a hundred Wen first, and go back before it is dark, and make it clear to the family, and I will live in the mansion after I bring the clothes tomorrow."
"Don't think about it wrongly. If you don't come here tomorrow, and you are greedy for this hundred Wen, I know where your family lives, and the employment deed is also secured by you. You can just wait for a lawsuit and go to jail."
How dare the Lin family, this job is impossible to ask for.Let her son get into the back basket, and walked out of Li Mansion to go home, not daring to rest on the way, with a hundred coins in her arms, she was afraid of being robbed, and the soles of her shoes were worn out in haste, and finally arrive.
"Why are you coming back so late? You're still waiting to cook, and the lotus root is sold out?" The mother-in-law frowns.
The Lin family walked away with dry mouth, tongue and sweat, but they were happy in their hearts. They let their son down and took out a money bag from their arms, "Mother-in-law, I went to the nobleman's mansion today—"
The mother-in-law scolded her head and face, and gave her hands a few times, "I told you to catch chickens, but you insisted on catching ducks, and told you not to go, are you going against me? Knowing one, a fool pays such a high price to hire you to work—"
He hit the money bag in the Lin family's hand with one hand, and the money bag fell heavily on the ground, the mouth fell apart, and copper coins fell on the ground.
The whole family was stunned.
Why so much money?Where did it come from?
Really, is there really a nobleman who invites his second daughter-in-law to work?
The one hundred cash in the purse is true, so it cannot be faked, and the second daughter-in-law would not dare to do sneaky business with a hundred courage, that is the truth.The attitude of the whole Lin family changed, and they didn't have time to eat, so they asked each one about the situation of the Lin family and spoke more carefully.
It turned out to be the official's house.
"...The mansion wants both me and the baby to go, and the baby is only given this money to play with the young master, and I have to live there, and I can rest for a day once a month."
The whole family of the Lin family wished they could eat less, and wished they could send people there that night.
In the past, no one in the Lin family was welcome in the house. There was a big brother and a sister-in-law in front of her, who would do all kinds of work, but now it has changed.
Why, why did the Lin family feel different suddenly.
Families with a lot of people and poverty are probably similar. Whoever earns a lot and is capable will stiffen his back in the house, otherwise he will be embarrassed and helpless.
The situation of the Lin family's family can be found everywhere in Zhaozhou, and there are many people who are worse and poorer than the Lin family.
Li Manor can recruit one servant, but cannot recruit all the poor and pitiful women and brothers.
It's not charity.
When I had to follow in Xiping Village, the grain and crops in every household's fields were harvested, and every family was rich.
Today, Xianggong is not in charge of a village, but a prefecture, five counties, and 38 towns.Li Zhouzhou worried about his husband, but he didn't worry too much. He knew that his husband must have an idea, but he didn't know how he was doing now.
Bolin County.
Gu Zhao found two more limestone mountains, one of which was actually a suspected iron mine to the other.Gu Zhao thought for a while, but let him cover it up, saying that it was not useless.
Let's not report to the court.Anyway, the road is long, no one knows.
On the road outside Bolinfu County and between the two towns, a cement factory has almost been built.
Start making cement roads!
The author has something to say:
Let me explain the problem of perspective: the copy says that it is mainly Zhou Zhou, and there are others.In the previous copy of Hanlin, it was easier to write from the perspective of Gu when he was young because he had to talk about court battles and the relationship between characters. In addition, there are many rules in Beijing, so Zhou Zhou can only be a "lady in the backyard of a deep house".Now we are in the Zhaozhou dungeon. If we look at the perspective ratio, it is that the husband and wife join hands to lead Zhaozhou to a well-off life. Gu Zhao is an official to make a general policy, think of ideas, and implement it every week to fill in some details and expand the business, not just lo-mei. .
Things like road construction are local policies, and it is impossible to pay for them from local finances.
In the future, all kinds of specialty products in Zhaozhou in Su will need conscientious businessmen to be distributors—this is Li Zhouzhou's business.
From other perspectives, I will also write about some local people in Zhaozhou-big businessmen, small traders, farmers, people of all walks of life, before and after concepts, and life comparisons.
I really just write in this way, so I won’t explain it in the future [Give everyone a heart bigger than a watermelon!
Gu Zhao was at the foot of the mountain. He thought it would be safe to stay far away, but he still got mud splashed on his clothes. But at this time, he didn't care about his clothes, so he lifted his robe and rushed up.
Because the sound was too loud, it was the mud puddle blown up from the top of the mountain, which frightened the yamen servants not to move.
Gu Zhaoda rushed up first, Meng Jianyun followed closely behind, Su Shiyi followed, and stammered in fright: "Small, be careful." He was obviously scared, but he followed, he wanted to protect Mr. Gu.
With the actions of Meng Jianyun and Su Shiyi, the yamen servants who were standing behind stood there as if they had just woken up from a dream, and stepped forward one after another to protect Mr. Gu.At this time, Mr. Gu had already rushed to the half-hill slope - the hill was slow.
Dirt splattered, revealing what was inside.
"Stone?"
"Is it a stone?"
When everyone saw the things inside, they spoke the vernacular, meaning no wonder no crops can be grown, why there are stones in the field, how can food grow on the rocks, no wonder no wonder.
"Pull up a piece." Gu Zhao ordered to go down.
When a stone is in hand, wipe off the dirt on the surface, revealing the original appearance. It is still stone-like, but the inside can be seen from the cracked place, which is gray-white.
It's done!found it.
Gu Zhao was very happy. He didn't expect this trip to be very smooth, but if there were no crops to grow in the mountains, then there was a problem with the land. Before that, he was worried about finding other mines. If it was iron mines, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately fortunately.
"Send people to guard and start digging rocks." Gu Zhao told Bolin county magistrate, "Now it's the busy farming season, recruit the idle people in the village to dig rocks, adult men have five pennies a day, women and children three pennies."
If the people are forced to work during the busy farming festival, the people will be miserable, but it will be different if they are paid.Take the village on the next hill as an example. There are few paddy fields and many people. Now is not the harvest season. It is not necessary for the whole family to go to the fields every day, and there are always idle people.
Three or five renminbi a day is not too much for the local people. The pork here is only six or seven renminbi a catty. In such a mountain, the stones have to be dug and transported to the processing factory——
In the later stage, there are many places to spend money, and the financial income of planting forest is really not much.Gu Zhao didn't dare to yell, so he worked hard for these common people, first bitter and then sweet, if there is no bitterness and then bitterness, where will the sweetness come from later?
"Sir, do you want to send someone to guard?" Bolin County Magistrate asked.
Gu Zhao said: "No need, outsiders don't know that these stones are useless and worthless."
That is to say, but the county magistrate of Bolin obviously knows a little about the villagers under his jurisdiction. The adults from Zhaozhou City found a mountain, and the explosion made a loud noise, and dug a hole. The stone is worthless , but the people who heard the wind would never believe it.
It's okay for them to be here, but once they leave, there will be no chaos.
The county magistrate of Bolin asked the two yamen servants to stay here, and he returned with Mr. Gu, talking to each other along the way.
"Is there such a mountain? If you find it and draw it, it's best if there are several towns in Bolin, or near the junction."
After driving all the way to the town, Gu Zhao took out the map of Bolin and began to select a cement factory. At the same time, he asked the magistrate of Bolin to post a notice that he would volunteer to participate in the labor.
"Let's recruit a thousand people first, and you can't take it if you are too old. It's okay to leave it to you?" Gu Zhao looked directly at the county magistrate Bolin and asked.
The county magistrate of Bolin was eager to work quickly, and to complete the task assigned by Mr. Gu, he immediately said yes, and Mr. Gu was assured that he would do it properly.
Gu Zhao asked the county magistrate to do it, and he led people to inspect the cement factories in the circle.There are a total of eight towns under Bolinfu County. Of course, not only one cement factory will be built. The road in Fuxian County is smooth and can be connected to three towns. The other five towns have to be built.
Unfolding the map, Gu Zhao looked at the geographic landmarks. Some places were mountains, which seemed flat but there was a mountain road ahead, and there was a detour over there, but it was impossible...
Write, write and draw, and when you are done, you have to go on a field trip.
Gu Zhao made a big move here, and he stayed for more than ten days. During the period, he asked Su Shiyi and the escort to go back, saying that he hadn't finished his work, so that the family didn't have to worry.
Before Su Shiyi and the bodyguard arrived in Zhaozhou City, the news about Gu Zhao, the newly appointed Tongzhi master, did in Bolin Prefecture has already been spread in Zhaozhou City.
"The news from the Lin family who planted the forest was confiscated by the woman who gave it away. I don't know what to do."
"Then Master Gu is sober?"
The faces of the gentry and gentlemen sitting together were bitter, and then someone said: "That's not right, I heard that Mr. Gu married a brother. Do you think Mr. Gu doesn't like women?"
"What kind of marriage? I heard it was a marriage. The newly bought mansions in Zhaozhou City are all Li Mansions."
"Then what's the use of hearing about it? If you don't think about it, you're a coward. I'm afraid you won't accept it. Don't you dare?"
Everyone laughed together again.After the joke was over, someone said again: "This new official went to Bolin first. I was thinking of going through one by one and peeling off the skin. Could it be that I don't like women, so wait for this?" .
This is not sure.
"I'm not afraid that he will charge more, but I'm afraid that he will not charge."
"Tsk tsk, Boss Chen is still arrogant. If you have such a rich and powerful person, how many pieces of skin can we give to small peddlers when we do business."
This Boss Chen has nothing to do with Mr. Chen from Zhaozhou City.It can't be said that, Mr. Chen's current three-bedroom concubine was sent by Boss Chen.
In Zhaozhou, the surnames Chen, Lin, Huang, and Li are the most, among which Chen accounts for a large proportion.
Mr. Chen is from the Central Plains, and he was transferred to Zhaozhou. This surname is actually a bit of a convenience.People nowadays value surnames and clans, especially in the south. When they saw that the new Shangguan was surnamed Chen, they subconsciously got close to him. In addition, Mr. Chen later accepted this Boss Chen, so it was more reassuring. .
Originally, there were three surnames in Zhaozhou City, and the Li surname was the big head next to the fishing village.But after Boss Chen took Master Chen's footsteps, he went on a successful journey, becoming the top three rich local tyrants in Zhaozhou, and the rest of the clingers were begging for a living in the cracks of flattery.
The other two surnames are mostly envious and jealous, so they will use their words to run on them.
Boss Chen's stomach was full, and he said cheerfully: "Xiao Huang, if you can't get it out, ask your father to tell me, and I'll take it out. I'll take out a layer of the Huang family's skin and give it to Mr. Gu." How about putting it on?"
spit!Boss Xiao Huang's face turned green.
Boss Chen was playing with the jade wrench, and his face and heart were full of joy. You, my father, will bow half your head in front of me. You dare to say such nonsense in front of me, it's up to you.
The scene was a bit cold for a while, so Lin came out to smooth things over.
"Old Chen, you are an uncle, what do you care about with Xiao Huang?"
It seems that they are taking good care of the Huang family just to smooth things over, but in this way, they have stepped on the Huang family at the feet of the Lin family.Xiao Huang's face was blue and green, he was young and energetic, he wanted to turn his face on the spot and beat up the two old men, but when he thought that the family's business was not getting better every year, he gritted his teeth and gave up.
endured.
Boss Lin finished the game, saw that Lao Chen didn't speak, cursed in his heart, smiled and continued to sing a one-man show, "Whatever he does, let's take a look first, don't worry, we will know whether to accept it or not after the end of the year."
Just as he was talking, the owner of the small business in Bolin got news, and he raised his head and said courteously to Boss Chen, "I heard that the new Mr. Gu blew up the mountain."
"? Mountain? Exploded?"
Boss Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked a stupid question, "A real mountain or a fake mountain?"
There is nothing fake about this mountain.
But now everyone's attention is on the blasting mountain, and no one is laughing at Boss Chen. The man said: "I heard that the mountain next to a village exploded half a gap. I don't know how it did it. The sound The rumble is scary."
"What did you use to fry it?"
"Cannon, cannon battle." The person who answered didn't have the confidence to do so. Who wouldn't let the cannonball explode every year when they do business during the New Year?But I have never seen a mountain exploded.
Everyone laughed when they heard the firecrackers, probably because the message was poorly communicated, Boss Chen even slapped the newsman on the head, once or twice, and the person didn't dare to talk back when he was hurt, so he just laughed, a flattering smile .
"You, you, I was appointed to say one at the bottom, and you learned three."
"Is this Zhashan still three? I've almost learned ten."
Everyone laughed.After laughing, Boss Lin said, "What about Mrs. Gu in Zhaozhou City? No movement?"
This is asking knowingly, every household in the room may have handed over the post, but Li Mansion's post has been accepted, but there is no reply or movement.At this time, Boss Lin was just testing it out, don't hide the fact that the other companies hooked up with him.
That's what Lao Chen did back then.
Now the whole family has gone ahead.
"We are recruiting, but there is no news."
Hey, this is all the workers recruited by Li Mansion have been paid off.But everything else is not bad, they are all on their own territory. Didn't the Eight Immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers? Another person said: "Listen, Mrs. Gu wants to do business."
Lao Chen and Lao Lin looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and they all had smiles on their faces.
Guessing that Mrs. Gu's business is fake, but it's true that she wants to get their money.Even if it's really a business, it's just entering their doorway, playing with Mrs. Gu and leaking some money, just in time to catch up with Mrs. Gu.
Then there is no hurry.
"Speaking of which, is there anyone here, Mr. Gu?"
Boss Chen felt that this person asked a silly question, "Can someone be sent to Zhaozhou? If there is someone, then they should rush to Beijing to go to the prosperous and rich land in the north."
Everyone laughed again, but the smile was somewhat pitiful.
Zhaozhou is poor, and that is their hometown. People with no background are transferred to Zhaozhou. Mr. Chen is considered good, not greedy, and he is not a low-ranking person in Zhaozhou. This is enough. Layers of skin are peeled off, how will the people below live.
Let's just live like this, and the bitter starvation will be over.The sympathetic small merchants here can only say this in their hearts, just like Mr. Chen today, everyone has to live, and there is a sense of proportion.
Su Shiyi is back.
As soon as he entered the gate of Li Mansion, why did he have so many embarrassments, the mansion bought someone?After entering the Moon Gate, which is through the back, and then reaching the gate of the main courtyard, Su Shiyi smiled a little, and saw an acquaintance.
"Li Chun." Su Shiyi called out.
"Wait a minute, I'll go pass it on." When Li Chun met Su Shiyi, he did not hesitate to do whatever he wanted, but he was already considered 'close', and he had a face that was nothing to a stranger. mood.
Li Chun has to take care of things now, so he can't hide, he can only shoulder the burden.
When her face turned cold, she really had a bit of the majesty of a housekeeper, and the new woman, girl, and husband were all afraid of Li Chun.Li Xia's health has improved a bit, and Li Zhouzhou let him take care of him more. Now Li Mansion has become Li Chunlue's leader, and Li Xia retreated a little and became a helper.
Li Zhouzhou looked carefully, Li Xia was really honest, he didn't care at all, and he didn't have any trouble with Li Chun.
I met Su Shiyi in the living room.
It was darker and grayer.Li Zhouzhou thought of his husband who hadn't come back yet, and wondered if he was like Su Shiyi. He suppressed his thoughts, asked the truth, and listened to Su Shiyi's details, starting from the time he left Zhaozhou City.
Li Zhouzhou listened very patiently.
Until Su Shiyi faltered and hesitated, Li Zhouzhou worriedly asked Mr. Gu what happened.
"...No, we rested in Zhuangzi one night." The more Su Shiyi talked, the more he felt that it shouldn't be said. Mr. Gu didn't do anything. Now that he said it, what if his cousin got angry when he misunderstood?
But just now there was a woman delivering tea, Li Zhouzhou, who had been listening patiently just now, interrupted before he finished speaking, and said: "There is no need to talk about these things, my husband doesn't know how to do it, just talk about Gu What serious things have you done these days?"
Li Zhou Zhou believes in fairness and does not want to waste time on these things.He patiently listened to Su Shiyi's words, that's because they were all related to the husband, but the crooked ones didn't count.
Su Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief, and talked about the serious business, Mr. Gu blew up the mountain, looked at the map for a long time, and the corvee paid the villagers to dig stones and build roads.
"...Cousin, why do you need to dig stones to build roads?" Su Shiyi couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to ask Mr. Gu, he was afraid of Mr. Gu.
Li Zhouzhou had heard his grandpa talk about it before. In fact, when he was in the village, his grandpa always liked to write and draw, and told him things he couldn't understand. Can guess some.
Outsiders can't understand the notebooks recorded by the Xianggong in the village. Only the Xianggong will, and the Xianggong is willing to tell him, depicting the scenes that he thought he could not dream of before.
When I was in Beijing, this book was kept at the bottom of the box, and I never took it out. But when I came to Zhaozhou, Xianggong found this book, looked through it from time to time, and sometimes told him about it when he saw something interesting.
"Zhaozhou is poor and has a long way to go, but if a good road is built, it will be fine."
"It is blessed with natural resources. There are seafood and tropical fruits waiting for us to discover. As Zhou Zhou said, Zhaozhou is a surprise."
Li Zhouzhou saw enthusiasm in his husband's eyes, when he was thinking about the stove, when the fertilizer was useful, and when Fu Bao slept in the crib—it was even more dazzling than these.
At this time, he said to Su Shiyi: "That stone is not worth much. If it is used well, it can build a road that will make Zhaozhou better and more prosperous."
"I'll pack some clothes. You go to Bolin to bring them this time, and tell Mr. Gu that everything is fine with me at home." Li Zhouzhou ordered Su Shiyi to wash up, have a meal, and rest.
Su Shiyi should be, and said with a silly smile: "Cousin, what you said is the same as what Mr. Gu said. They all said that the stone is worthless and can build roads."
Li Zhouzhou smiled, "Go."
A few days ago, Xianggong went to Bolin, Li Zhouzhou wandered around Zhaozhou City, recruited many people for the mansion, and also ate some local dishes, mostly ginger and garlic, and more light.
The braised stew business can be done, and compared to the consumption in Ningping Prefecture, the selling price is naturally similar.These recruitments are enough, let Brother Yu and Li Xia watch.
Li Zhouzhou wanted to transfer Li Xia to the front to manage the shop to practice. Brother Yu's face was soft, and Li Xia was honest and responsible. It is reasonable to need one who is outstanding and the other is honest, but in this way, the honest The more stupid it gets, the more powerful it becomes.
Putting these two together is also because Brother Yu and Li Xia have one heart for him.Brother Yu has been in a hurry since he settled down, eager to make money for him to open a shop, and he doesn't start work every day, Brother Yu dare not eat too much, for fear of wasting rice and making him expensive.
Like Li Xia, she got up to work before her body recovered.
Li Chun is afraid of people now, so let him go to the mansion for grinding, then only Li Xia and Brother Yu can go.For the sake of his business, the two must be able to rush out a skill.When I came to Zhaozhou on the road, Lan's mother was not with me, Li Chun was afraid of people, it was Li Xia who pushed me out, and the arrangements were well-organized and careful.
But once someone comes forward, he can choose to employ multiple people, and Li Xia will shrink back and do his own job. He has a character of not fighting or grabbing.
Definitely something to do with past lives.
Li Zhouzhou was optimistic about the shop, thinking that he would be able to open the shop for business after all the preparations were complete, unlike dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, food is the basic, if you have to worry about other things, you can't offend anyone.It's different now, it's ordinary people's business, and his family is an official, so there's no trouble with hooligans.
Brother Yu learned how to keep accounts when he was in Beijing, and followed Li Xia to see people and shops, and his father would go there from time to time. At the end of the month, he only needed to look at the account book and reconcile the accounts.
Li Zhouzhou didn't intend to devote all his energy to the stewed cooking business. He was thinking that after the road was built, he would definitely make a living by trading Zhaozhou's special products, such as fruits and seafood. The man who was an official only took care of the people's livelihood, and he would do the rest.
He is also familiar with doing business.
Li Zhouzhou laid out a plan in his mind, and adjusted it at any time according to the policy that Xianggong will make in the future. Seeing Li Chun refilling him with tea, he asked, "Has Fu Bao woke up? Forget it, I'll go and see."
Now I can spend more time with Fubao, but time will be tight in the future.
This time, Li Zhouzhou recruited a woman with a child at home. This woman's child is two years older than Fu Bao, and now she is more than five years old. She is small and looks about the same age as Fu Bao. .
When I went to the street that day, I saw the young woman carrying a basket of lotus root, arguing with the man who came to buy lotus root.
Because the lotus root joint is one head and two fingers wide, the lotus root is said to be broken by the buyer, but the woman said it is good and can be eaten, but it is only drilled in mud and needs to be scrubbed to show the lotus root to the buyer. Cut it off and buy it or don't.
This is just for the sake of a little bit.
Li Zhouzhou knew at a glance that Li Zhouzhou had a hard time, and then there was a quarrel, Li Zhouzhou couldn't understand, and finally the woman sold the lotus root and cut it up, and the lotus buyer laughed and said that he would come to you next time to buy it. The whole summer lotus root is almost tired of eating, and it is worthless.
If you get cheap, you still have to pay for it.
The woman can only apologize and say that she will come again next time.When the people left, he sighed, then cleaned up the bamboo cage, and said to the child squatting next to him: "Wait a minute, grandma will go home and cook for dinner after selling the lotus root."
Zhaozhou's name is slightly different. Some children call it A Niang, but most of the lower-level people call A Niang and A Ma.Seeing that the woman was still wearing a pair of tattered straw sandals, she knew that life was going to be difficult.
Li Zhouzhou fell in love with the little boy from the woman's family, he looked about the same age as Fubao.When he arrived in Zhaozhou, Fubao couldn't stay in the mansion all the time, he and his husband got busy, and then Fubao could only get along with the people he brought with him in the mansion. They were all grown-ups, especially his father, who loved him very much.
Fubao will give him what he wants, he will get spoiled.
Besides, they are all grown-ups and have no playmates. When he was a child, no one paid attention to him and played with him, and everyone despised him, so there was only Xing Geer who talked to him.Li Zhouzhou recalled that when he was a child, he actually envied being in groups with other people in the village.
If Brother Xing plays with others, he will be alone and can only work.
Li Zhouzhou wanted to find a child to play with Fubao, and let Fubao learn Zhaozhou dialect.Now people in the mansion who are near Fubao are all brought here. He believed that they all speak the official dialect of Beijing. His father sometimes speaks the vernacular of Xiping Village, but no one speaks Zhaozhou dialect.
Let Li Chun go over and ask, and the woman immediately agreed when she asked, and even knelt down and kowtowed to be grateful.Li Zhouzhou let him get up to answer, and asked about his name, place of origin, home address, and population.
The woman's man's surname is Lin, and everyone calls her Sister-in-law Lin/Lin's family.
Sister-in-law Lin replied immediately. She spoke Zhaozhou dialect slowly, and she finally figured it out. After speaking, Li Zhouzhou asked to go back to discuss with his family. If he wanted to, he would come to Li Mansion tomorrow and show the way. .
Worked as a handyman in the backyard of the Lifu kitchen house—not a cook.There was Li Xia who was cooking.
Three hundred texts per month.
At the beginning, Mother Lan was paid [-] Wen in Beijing, and the work of the Lin family was about the same, and more than half of it was cut down. Even so, the salary in Zhaozhou was good work, and there were many people who had to do it and ask questions.
Men can't get these for a month, let alone daughters and brothers.
The remaining lotus root of the Lin family wanted to be given to the nobleman, but the nobleman didn't want it in vain, so the beautiful and well-dressed girl around her gave her ten coins-how could it cost so much.But he couldn't understand, he was clumsy, and he looked at the nobleman's back before he could speak.
When they got home, the Lin family told their mother-in-law, father-in-law and father-in-law who were working in the field what happened today.
"Don't look at your stupidity to deceive you."
"It's just doing the laundry and cleaning the kitchen. How could it cost three hundred Wen a month?"
"Don't turn you into a dirty place." After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she felt that it was wrong, and her daughter-in-law was not a good-looking person, so she changed her words and said, "Don't go, you are not allowed to go, and you will cause trouble at home. , go out to sell a lotus root, and come back after causing these things.”
The whole family didn't believe it, even if the Lin family took ten Wen and said that the nobleman bought her lotus root money, no one would believe it.
Now at the end of summer, there are not many lotus root in the river, so we have to go deeper.In order to earn more money, her husband soaked in the river for a long time, and she went to Zhaozhou city to sell lotus roots. Her mother-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law and elder brother were busy in the fields, but the family of more than ten people barely made ends meet.
That's right, her man worked so hard to touch the lotus root, and he only sold more than ten coins a day.
Doing some housework costs [-] Wen a month, which is indeed - if it weren't for the Lin family to deal with it personally, I would have thought it was a dream.
The next day, the mother-in-law of the Lin family kept their daughter-in-law from working in the house so as not to run out. It was easy to save the trouble, but the Lin family had no choice but to worry about it and feel that it was not true. Did they really deceive her?On the third day, when the lotus root had been saved for two days, the Lin family said that she would sell it. The mother-in-law looked at it, thinking that the time had passed, and let the daughter-in-law go.
The Lin family carried lotus roots on their backs, and their son was tied in their arms. They entered Zhaozhou City wearing straw sandals. After hesitating again and again, they gritted their teeth and went in the direction pointed by the nobleman. Dare to knock on the door, thinking about it, let’s go back, it’s all a dream, how could it be possible to get three hundred coins a month.
Just then the door opened.
"Who are you looking for?"
Hearing the Zhaozhou dialect, the Lin family stammered the whole story boldly, and the man said, "Are you on the job? Then you go to the side door. Well, the alley that passes here is the side door after a hundred meters or so." , ask Li Chun to take care of it."
And then it was done.
Li Chun had an impression of the Lin family, seeing the dolls in the back of the basket, he put them down first, the Lin family's restraints said no, she came by herself, and didn't bother the nobleman to do it.
"What kind of nobleman am I? I'm a slave of the Li family." Li Chun softened his face towards the Lin family, "I waited for you all morning yesterday, why didn't you come?"
The Lin family couldn't tell a lie either, so Li Chun listened to the general idea, waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, it's a good thing you came here today, if you don't come again, the mansion will recruit others, you hurry up." It's too early, the master just opened these because he thought you were pitiful and wanted your doll to play with young master Fubao, if others don't have this number, come in first."
Now the front and back of Li Mansion are managed by Li Chun, including the front yard.Because Master Gu is not in the mansion, and there are no guests coming and going, so they are just some cleaning boys, and Li Chun can take care of things.
The written evidence made the other party draw a mortgage, which became an employment contract.
The Lin family has become a servant of the Li Mansion. She has been doing everything diligently for half a day, and the sun is about to set in the afternoon. The Lin family is actually worried about her family. If she doesn't go back, it will be too late. I do not know how to describe.
Li Chun came over with one hundred Wen, and said: "The money is packed, I will give you a hundred Wen first, and go back before it is dark, and make it clear to the family, and I will live in the mansion after I bring the clothes tomorrow."
"Don't think about it wrongly. If you don't come here tomorrow, and you are greedy for this hundred Wen, I know where your family lives, and the employment deed is also secured by you. You can just wait for a lawsuit and go to jail."
How dare the Lin family, this job is impossible to ask for.Let her son get into the back basket, and walked out of Li Mansion to go home, not daring to rest on the way, with a hundred coins in her arms, she was afraid of being robbed, and the soles of her shoes were worn out in haste, and finally arrive.
"Why are you coming back so late? You're still waiting to cook, and the lotus root is sold out?" The mother-in-law frowns.
The Lin family walked away with dry mouth, tongue and sweat, but they were happy in their hearts. They let their son down and took out a money bag from their arms, "Mother-in-law, I went to the nobleman's mansion today—"
The mother-in-law scolded her head and face, and gave her hands a few times, "I told you to catch chickens, but you insisted on catching ducks, and told you not to go, are you going against me? Knowing one, a fool pays such a high price to hire you to work—"
He hit the money bag in the Lin family's hand with one hand, and the money bag fell heavily on the ground, the mouth fell apart, and copper coins fell on the ground.
The whole family was stunned.
Why so much money?Where did it come from?
Really, is there really a nobleman who invites his second daughter-in-law to work?
The one hundred cash in the purse is true, so it cannot be faked, and the second daughter-in-law would not dare to do sneaky business with a hundred courage, that is the truth.The attitude of the whole Lin family changed, and they didn't have time to eat, so they asked each one about the situation of the Lin family and spoke more carefully.
It turned out to be the official's house.
"...The mansion wants both me and the baby to go, and the baby is only given this money to play with the young master, and I have to live there, and I can rest for a day once a month."
The whole family of the Lin family wished they could eat less, and wished they could send people there that night.
In the past, no one in the Lin family was welcome in the house. There was a big brother and a sister-in-law in front of her, who would do all kinds of work, but now it has changed.
Why, why did the Lin family feel different suddenly.
Families with a lot of people and poverty are probably similar. Whoever earns a lot and is capable will stiffen his back in the house, otherwise he will be embarrassed and helpless.
The situation of the Lin family's family can be found everywhere in Zhaozhou, and there are many people who are worse and poorer than the Lin family.
Li Manor can recruit one servant, but cannot recruit all the poor and pitiful women and brothers.
It's not charity.
When I had to follow in Xiping Village, the grain and crops in every household's fields were harvested, and every family was rich.
Today, Xianggong is not in charge of a village, but a prefecture, five counties, and 38 towns.Li Zhouzhou worried about his husband, but he didn't worry too much. He knew that his husband must have an idea, but he didn't know how he was doing now.
Bolin County.
Gu Zhao found two more limestone mountains, one of which was actually a suspected iron mine to the other.Gu Zhao thought for a while, but let him cover it up, saying that it was not useless.
Let's not report to the court.Anyway, the road is long, no one knows.
On the road outside Bolinfu County and between the two towns, a cement factory has almost been built.
Start making cement roads!
The author has something to say:
Let me explain the problem of perspective: the copy says that it is mainly Zhou Zhou, and there are others.In the previous copy of Hanlin, it was easier to write from the perspective of Gu when he was young because he had to talk about court battles and the relationship between characters. In addition, there are many rules in Beijing, so Zhou Zhou can only be a "lady in the backyard of a deep house".Now we are in the Zhaozhou dungeon. If we look at the perspective ratio, it is that the husband and wife join hands to lead Zhaozhou to a well-off life. Gu Zhao is an official to make a general policy, think of ideas, and implement it every week to fill in some details and expand the business, not just lo-mei. .
Things like road construction are local policies, and it is impossible to pay for them from local finances.
In the future, all kinds of specialty products in Zhaozhou in Su will need conscientious businessmen to be distributors—this is Li Zhouzhou's business.
From other perspectives, I will also write about some local people in Zhaozhou-big businessmen, small traders, farmers, people of all walks of life, before and after concepts, and life comparisons.
I really just write in this way, so I won’t explain it in the future [Give everyone a heart bigger than a watermelon!
