The strongest engineering student in ancient times

Now the weather has become colder day by day, Qi Yibai bought an electronic thermometer, it was only [-] or [-] degrees, and in about [-] days, it will officially enter winter.

Qi Yibai covered the motor of the moped with a shell, and went to the county.

Because he was afraid that the drain oil would be used up quickly, he brought two extra barrels of oil in the system backpack, but when he arrived at the county town after spending half an hour, he found that half of the drain oil was not used up. According to the gasoline consumption, it should be Only one-third is left. It seems that the oil is more durable than gasoline.

Qi Yibai bought a lot of souvenirs in the county and went to Xiao Mansion.

When County Magistrate Xiao saw Qi Yibai, he just sighed.

Qi Yibai was puzzled by Xiao County Magistrate's expression, and seemed to be apologetic, so Qi Yibai had no choice but to say:

"Magistrate Xiao, please tell me directly if you have anything to say."

County magistrate Xiao didn't know how to tell Qi Yibai directly, but when he saw him speak, he felt embarrassed and said:

"Maybe I have hurt you, but if Prefect Qiu insists on sending someone to find you, I will do my best to protect you."

Qi Yibai was a little puzzled, what did Magistrate Xiao mean by these words, and why he couldn't understand?

Xiao County Magistrate explained:

"Didn't I go to the county with the crossbow and the corpse of the bandit leader a few days ago? Originally, I wanted to recommend the crossbow to the prefect, but the prefect felt that if Xita came, it would be useless to earn too much money. So I want to persuade you to go to the county to make bows and crossbows for the soldiers. But I have already refused for you, but I don’t know if the prefect has given up on the plan, and I see that the prefect seems to value bows and crossbows.”

What County Magistrate Xiao didn't say was that Governor Qiu was not so polite, but asked Qi Yibai to go to the county by himself and hand over the bow and crossbow to him.

If County Magistrate Xiao hadn't tried his best to convince Qi Yibai that they were bandit hunters who killed more than 200 bandits, prefect Qiu might have sent someone to invite Qi Yibai to the county.

But County Magistrate Xiao was afraid that Governor Qiu would go to find Qi Yibai again, so he had to tell Qi Yibai about it now.

Even if County Magistrate Xiao didn't say anything, Qi Yibai could guess that County Magistrate Xiao must have spent a lot of talking and talking to make Prefect Qiu give up. After thanking County Magistrate Xiao, he said:

"Magistrate Xiao, don't worry, even if the prefect comes to look for me, I will be fine."

If Prefect Qiu sends someone to arrest him, he has a 90.00% chance of getting away safely. He has a system and can survive no matter where he goes. He still doesn't believe that he has such a heaven-defying weapon. The eunuchs can't handle it.

County magistrate Xiao thought that Qi Yibai was not afraid because of the help of Wei Orion and the others:

"I hope you don't blame me."

Qi Yibai smiled and said:

"How could it be? I have to thank County Magistrate Xiao for his protection."

Although County Magistrate Xiao failed to push the bow and crossbow, he didn't think much of it. Weapons were difficult to push, but his small motorcycle was easy to push, especially with the existence of Liyou, which only he knew about.Without weapons, it is easy for him to support the people in his workshop.

Just when Qi Yibai was about to leave, before he reached the door, he heard someone beating a drum to cry for grievances.

Since Qi Yibai came here, he has never seen anything like a trial, and he is quite interested in it.

When he and many other people came to the gate of the yamen, they saw an old woman crying on top of a dead body.

After County Magistrate Xiao was promoted, Qi Yibai's face completely darkened after hearing what it was.

It turned out that the corpse was the woman who was kidnapped by the bandits before, and was sent back home by the county magistrate Xiao, but the people in the village knew that the woman was innocent, and they kept demanding that she be soaked in a pig cage. The old bachelors in the village went to harass her, and finally beat her to death.

The old woman originally had only one daughter, and when her daughter died, she didn't know what to do with her life.

When Qi Yibai heard this, the dark emotions in his heart rolled.Why are there always so many ugly existences, and why can't we just kill those evildoers directly.

When County Magistrate Xiao heard this, his face was also very ugly. After all, he sent all these women back, and there were actually about a dozen of them that he couldn't deal with, because County Magistrate Xiao felt that he felt guilty for Qi Yibai, so he didn't Dare to really send it to Wei Qing, he already knew that Wei Qing and Qi Yibai were engaged.

"The capital's fame and festivals are all lost. If you die, you will be settled. I really don't know what is there to redress. Is it possible to sue the whole village?"

"Yeah, they were already taken away by bandits, so they deserve to die. How can she still have the face to sue now?"

"I heard that the county government still raises more than a dozen women who were brought back from the bandits' lair. I don't know why, tsk tsk tsk."

Hearing these words, Qi Yibai could only feel desolation, the people here are really ignorant, and it is not her own choice that the woman will be taken away.

County magistrate Xiao is not easy to judge, after all, the woman committed suicide by throwing herself into the river in the end, and no one killed her.

This kind of thing is not easy to judge in modern times, but at least there will be public opinion to condemn those villagers, but here, everyone thinks that it is good for the woman to die, and they don't think that the villagers are at fault.

Qi Yibai recalled what Wei Qing had said before, and planned to wait for the case to be over to find County Magistrate Xiao, but just after he found County Magistrate Xiao, he heard a yamen servant say that the women who used to live in the yamen had hanged themselves and hit the wall one by one. , almost did not save back.

When Qi Yibai and County Magistrate Xiao rushed to the courtyard in the yamen, the women inside were either crying sadly, or had no desire to survive.

Ye Qiuyu, a good-looking woman in her twenties with her forehead bandaged, said to County Magistrate Xiao:

"Magistrate Xiao, we are homeless and have nowhere to live, or we are just a drag, let us settle it ourselves, we don't want to live like this anymore."

County magistrate Xiao was even more at a loss. He knew that it would not be a long-term solution to support them all the time.

"You are not even afraid of death. Since this is the case, why don't you come and help me to work, with food and housing included, five hundred cash per month. If there is an emergency to rush to work, there will be copper coins as a reward."

Suddenly a clear voice resounded, those women originally looked dull, but at this moment they all looked at Qi Yibai who was speaking in surprise.

Even County Magistrate Xiao looked at him in surprise.

What is Qi Yibai trying to do?What does he want these women for?Women can't do anything, can they?

Ye Qiuyu didn't even bother to be surprised, and asked:

"What jobs do you want us to have?"

Qi Yibai thought for a while and asked:

"There are many types of work, it depends on who you are proficient in. You can assemble, refine oil, clean the workshop, lay turf, etc. The specifics depend on how many people you have. If there are not enough people, I will hire more."

Everyone: "..." What kind of work is this?It sounds weird no matter what, except for cleaning workshops, others are almost unheard of.

County Magistrate Xiao didn't expect that Qi Yibai could support so many people, and he didn't mind that they were all women. Normally, when hiring workers, they would only hire strong men, who would hire them.

The most important thing is that food and housing are included. Although these four words sound novel, they are not difficult to understand. It seems that they can be responsible for food and lodging. This kind of good thing, no matter who hears it, it will feel like heaven. Pie it! !

County magistrate Xiao couldn't help reminding:

"Winter is coming soon, and it will only get colder and colder in the future. Can you still do the things you said?"

In fact, County Magistrate Xiao also considered that the people would be going to winter soon, so he didn't send these women there. After all, winter is the most difficult, and how many people will be frozen to death in winter. There are so many people raising for nothing, how can there be so much food.

Qi Yibai also had in his mind the cold winter when the snow was knee-deep or even thigh-deep every winter, and it should be ten or twenty degrees below zero.

Thinking of the cold winter, Qi Yibai felt a physical pain in his left hand.

He almost forgot to prepare well before nesting in winter, because when winter came, it would be difficult to walk around the village, let alone go to the town.

Fortunately, when it was designed, there was floor heating. If you want to work in winter, as long as you have air conditioning or floor heating, you will be fine.

Qi Yibai smiled and said:

"Don't worry, these can be solved, it depends on whether you are willing to work or not. Of course, I will not accept those who are unwilling to work. If I find out, they can only be kicked out."

In this era, there are few peasant women who don't work, and they never thought about being lazy.

Ye Qiuyu and the others originally thought that they had nowhere to go, so they didn't want to live anymore. They all knew that after what happened to them, it was impossible for them to get married, and they were lucky not to be cast aside.Just now when they heard that a woman who had the same experience as them was forced to die when she returned to the village, they also felt sad for the death of a rabbit and a fox in their hearts.

However, the appearance of this little Shuang'er gave them something they couldn't believe they had heard with their own ears. This little Shuang'er actually said that they could go to work?There will also be copper coins, five hundred copper coins a month, which is already comparable to the copper coins earned by some men!

They really couldn't figure out what kind of work they could do and get more copper coins than those men, no matter how they thought about it, they thought it was impossible.

However, Qi Yibai's expression didn't look like he was lying at all, and they all couldn't help looking at County Magistrate Xiao.

County magistrate Xiao seemed to know what they were thinking, and said to them:

"Since Brother Bai said this, it means that he really has a job for you to do. Don't worry, he can be trusted. Speaking of which, his fiancé was still Wei Qing, the leader of the Wei Family Gang who killed all the bandits and rescued you at that time. , At that time, Wei Qing also said that if you have no place to go, he will send you there, it seems that he also has a way to arrange for you. I am relieved."

Unexpectedly, Brother Bai turned out to be the unmarried twins of the brave Wei Qing, and they didn't know that Wei Qing had said that he could arrange for them?

Seeing what County Magistrate Xiao said, these women naturally believed them, and nodded in agreement to leave with Qi Yibai.

But Qi Yibai set up a moped, which can only carry one person at most.County magistrate Xiao asked Qi Yibai to leave first, and tomorrow he will ask the yamen servants to take Ye Qiuyu and others to Xibei Village.

Before leaving, Qi Yibai said:

"If there are still people like these women who can't survive, those with decent character will be sent to me."

County magistrate Xiao couldn't describe his feelings when he heard this. How many people abandoned them like walking shoes, but Qi Yibai was willing to accept them.

If there were more people like Qi Yibai, wouldn't there be so many tragic things like today.

County magistrate Xiao sincerely thanked Qi Yibai for everything he had done for the people, and also said that if Qi Yibai encountered any difficulties in the future, he could come to him.

These words made Qi Yibai very surprised and very excited. Having Xiao County Magistrate's words undoubtedly made him more free to do what he wanted to do in the future.
