Chapter 253 Rumors
Xia Dalang has a dignified appearance and a steady personality, and because of successive great changes, his temperament is naturally different from others.

In addition, he studied very hard, his original foundation was not bad, and he was also somewhat talented, so he quickly won the love of most of the students and teachers in the academy.

Xia Dalang heard the same rumor successively from his classmates and teachers who had a good relationship with him:
Mr. Yang, the new county magistrate of Jixiang County, has an unknown hobby:

His old man likes to build city walls.

So far, Mr. Yang has been to six different counties, and served as county magistrate for the longest three years and the shortest one year.

But the amazing thing is that no matter how long he has been a county magistrate in one place, he will inevitably recruit civilians and build city walls during his tenure.

Some people wonder if this is a new way to enrich themselves?However, Mr. Yang is not without political enemies, but his political enemies have never attacked him from this angle.

It can be seen that although this matter is a well-known hobby, there is really not much room for making money here.

However, although he didn't know why Lord Yang had such a hobby, Xia Dalang heard that every time Lord Yang repaired the city wall, he would call on merchants to donate.

If you donate 1 taels, he is not too much.

If you donate one hundred coins, he will not think too little.

Some people say that since there is money donated by this merchant, can't they do whatever they want?

But with Mr. Yang, he has a public account, and every time he asks a merchant to donate money for something, he must make it clear where every penny is used.

No matter what the situation is under the water, at least above the water surface, County Magistrate Yang put it in a clear and clear manner.

Let you have no handle at all.

Xia Daohua thought about it carefully, but felt that Master Yang was a bit of a time traveler.

After thinking about it, why do you have to be a time traveler to think of these methods?How many smart people will come out of the indigenous people?

Xia Daohua laughed at herself and put the matter aside.

She doesn't feel bad about donating money or things, and she has nothing to worry about.Instead, I took this opportunity to try to see how this Master Yang is different from his predecessor, Master Xie.

But after that, Lord Yang remained silent.

Xia Daohua thought that what Xia Dalang told her was just a rumor.

At this time, notices were posted on the bulletin board outside the county government office, as well as at the gate of the city, calling on merchants and wealthy families to donate money and materials, and to enlist civilian husbands to build the city wall.

For this reason, Mrs. Wang, the wife of the county magistrate, specially organized another flower viewing party.

Xia Daohua was also invited.

She couldn't hold back her curiosity for a while, and found an opportunity to ask Mrs. Wang, why did she post the notice now?
The answer I got was unexpected:

"A few days ago, it was time to harvest wheat with the sickle. If we recruited peasants, wouldn't it be a waste of time for farming?"

After Xia Daohua was shocked, she had a new understanding of the county magistrate and his wife—at least this couple was not the masters who didn't work hard and didn't know the five grains.

If you have some understanding of people's livelihood, and your character is fine, you won't be too exploitative.

The wives and ladies who came to the flower viewing banquet all donated some jewelry and silver taels on the spot. Seeing this, Xia Daohua followed the crowd and donated 20 taels of silver and two pearl flowers.

The dim sum purchased by Yangji Teahouse from her "Daohuaxiang" alone far exceeded this amount. Although Xia Daohua didn't want to show off, she was really embarrassed to donate too little.

Fortunately, this number is quite satisfactory among the ladies and ladies, not out of line at all.

Adding those two bead flowers was also because she was afraid that the 20 taels of silver would be the least in the audience...

Xia Daohua doesn't like to wear jewelry very much on weekdays, mainly because she finds it heavy.I really like to see other people wear it.

Beads and fresh flowers are relatively light and convenient.

In case it falls off, you don't bring your own name tag, so it is less likely to cause accidents.

Therefore, when she goes out on weekdays, she wears men's clothes if she can.

If it doesn't work, silk headbands should be worn by women.

Only occasionally one or two pearl flowers, or small flowers, that's all.

Usually, Xia Daohua would wear decorations such as pearl flowers on formal occasions such as participating in flower viewing banquets.

This time, she only wore two pearl flowers, and kept them all on the spot.

Looking at Xia Daohua's bald hair, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but narrowed her eyes with a smile:

"You kid, you really have a solid eye!"

Then he called the big maid who was close to him, and brought a box of pearl flowers for the inner court:

"I keep it here for nothing, why don't I give it to you, wear it and play it on weekdays!"

Xia Daohua blushed, politely declined twice, Wang pretended to be angry:
"The gift of the elders is irresistible!"

Xia Daohua just accepted it.

Xia Daohua didn't feel that she had acted very well, but it seemed that this was not the first time that Wang Shi had shown her love for her.

After returning from County Magistrate Yang's house, Xia Daohua couldn't help thinking about it—what should she do to be worthy of Wang's kindness?

Before Xia Daohua could come up with a proper solution, the notice of the county government's expropriation of civilian husbands had already been posted all over the city.

Every house in Xia's house jumped up and down for a while.

This time, the Xia family did not hide from the four houses from the second room to the fifth room when the civil servants were confiscated.

Because magistrate Yang especially emphasized that unless there are extremely special circumstances, the subordinates are not allowed to use the agency money, and people must be sent to do the work.

Erfang originally planned to send Sanlang there, but was rejected, so Xia Yougui had no choice but to go in person—because Erlang went there last time, this time Erlang refused to go again, and the officials refused to accept Sanlang, Xia Yougui had no choice but to go personally .

Brothers Xia Youxi, Xia Youtian, and Xia Youliang also went to the third, fourth, and fifth bedrooms in person.

Xia Daohua had to pay an extra commission because she set up a female household alone.

Fortunately, the labor this time was just to build the city wall, so it wasn't particularly hard work, and it wasn't too hard to eat and sleep in the open - as long as you worked five hours a day, you could still go home and sleep.

Xia Daohua thought twice and decided to donate a batch of mung bean soup to the construction site.

In fact, at first she wanted to set up a stall selling mung bean soup.

But looking at the behavior of County Magistrate Yang, I always feel that if I really dare to do this, County Magistrate Yang might be able to blow up my own business...

Therefore, Xia Daohua carefully turned the sale into a donation.

When County Magistrate Yang heard about this, he smiled at Xia Daohua.

Look at that posture, if Xia Daohua is a young gentleman, he will pat him on the shoulder!
County magistrate Yang privately thought that Xia Daohua was showing favor to his wife, Wang, and reciprocated it.

If Xia Daohua knew what he was thinking, she would definitely say: This is a beautiful misunderstanding!

 I just found out today that I was recommended, and I stopped updating during the recommendation period... I'm really sorry, my dear editor, Lu Wei... Please ask for a ticket. ε=(ο`*)))
