It has snowed again in the past few days, and the accumulated ground is thick.Zhao Yunlan and Wang sat chatting in the main room, and Wang felt that the winter in the north was too long.

"There is no shortage of ice this summer, and now there is a lot of ice in the cellar, which is enough for summer." Zhao Yunlan was a little happy.

Wang said: "This winter is not over yet! I'm thinking about summer."

Zhao Yunlan: "This is called planning for a rainy day. Look at how much ice we used in previous summers. It costs a lot of money."

Mrs. Wang nodded, that's right, if you can save as much as you can, it doesn't matter if you can't use it up, it's better than spending a lot of money if you don't use it.

"Is there a soap shop going to be opened here too?" Mrs. Wang asked now. After all, ice was used in previous summers, and making soap was a big deal.

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "I won't invite outsiders this time, I'll just arrange for our own people to do it."

Mrs. Wang was a little anxious: "Then you still have to teach them yourself?" She was just worried that Zhao Yunlan would be tired, that the second baby would be born soon, and there would be troubles in the school and Zhuangzi's affairs.

Zhao Yunlan shook her head: "I wrote a letter a few days ago and sent it back, asking them to arrange some people to come here, so that they can teach people from this area for a month."

"Well, I was worried that you were tired. I originally thought about hiring a nanny to take care of the baby, but I thought you would disagree so I didn't make my own decision."

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, I still want to feed myself better. If my mother wants to find a nanny for me, why not find me a sheep with enough milk. After the child is weaned from breast milk, he will continue to drink goat milk."

Mrs. Wang readily agreed, although she felt that the goat's milk smelled very strong, because Yunlan had boiled goat's milk for the whole family when she was raising her body, and she was not used to drinking it, but Mrs. Wang didn't ask any more questions. He replied: "Okay, I have to find a good ewe."

In the county government office, Li Mingren received a message from the capital, saying: The Cheng family sent a large sum of money to the palace for Concubine Hui, and the money was spent the next night in the iron foundry. This iron foundry was opened in secret, and who is behind it has not been found out, and it is not easy for outsiders to find out.

This news was sent by someone sent by Zhou Hanwen. The Zhou family has always supported the emperor and the orthodox position, and never participated in party disputes. So when Li Mingren's letter was delivered to Zhou Hanwen this time, Zhou Hanwen immediately took action.

In fact, the Zhou family has been secretly observing the princes, but there is no real evidence that the Zhou family cannot talk nonsense in front of the emperor.

"Old Cao, you send someone to watch the path to see if you can meet the transporting carriage."

Cao Yingfa agreed, after getting along for this period of time, the relationship between the three of them had a breakthrough in harmony, of course, this was just what Li Mingren thought, Li Mingren didn't care whether Chen Yiqing and Cao Yingfa thought so.

"Hey, no, sometimes it's easy to be suspected if they do it too covertly. Will they pretend to be supplies from the capital and follow the official path?" Li Mingren said.

Chen Yiqing: "It's very possible that the inspection of military supplies has always been lax, and this General Cheng is not easy to mess with."

Cao Yingfa: "Then I'll send a few more passers-by to watch over everything they might pass by."

Li Mingren: "OK."

"Report! My lord." Zhang Liang ran in from the outside and saluted. This is Li Mingren's spy sent to Motong County.

"Is there any news to bring back?"

"Last night, we saw a young general beside Chengping meet with someone from Beimo. That person is the personal bodyguard next to Lord Nurha of Beimo."

Nurha is the third younger brother of Beimo King. It is rumored that this third prince is a non-aggressive one. He hopes that everyone can coexist peacefully.

"I didn't see it, do you know what they did?" Cao Yingfa asked beside him.

Zhang Liang: "I don't know. We are far apart and there are guards around us. We can't get close. It's just that when the two of them broke up, the young general looked happy and held a box in his hand."

Li Mingren: "Find a way to see what's in that box."

Zhang Liang: "Yes."

"I'm thinking about a question, if all the soldiers in the barracks stand in Chengping's ranks, then..." Chen Yiqing said.

Cao Yingfa replied: "Then we are all finished, maybe we will be killed by Chengping before we are convicted."

"We have to hurry up, we must stop this matter. Let's not talk about this for now, have you done the budget statement I asked you to make?" Li Mingren looked at Cao Yingfa.

Cao Yingfa's eyes widened. Didn't he just say that he should hurry up? Why did he turn around and talk about the budget?

"The next official has already done it, and I will present it to you later." Cao Yingfa booed inwardly, but fortunately, he didn't think about being lazy these days.

"Well, old Chen, where is the list you selected?" Li Mingren turned to look at Chen Yiqing again.

"Here, sir, please have a look." Chen Yiqing took out a small notebook from his sleeve pocket.

Li Mingren opened it, looked at it, and said, "Okay, you arrange a day to call all these people here to check everyone's tone, and be careful not to scare people away."

Chen Yiqing: "Huh? Me~"

Li Mingren: "That's right, you, I just want you to have a brief chat with everyone first, and you won't be able to get them to pay the money right away. Of course, if you can do it, it's not impossible."

Chen Yiqing frowned slightly. He had never cared about these people asking for money before, even if they offered it to their door, he was at a loss as to what to do and dared not accept it.

Cao Yingfa looked at Chen Yiqing's expression and wanted to laugh. Li Mingren couldn't bear to see Cao Yingfa's gloat, and said, "Show your big teeth, don't catch a cold in the cold weather, quickly take the budget and have a look. Do."

Cao Yingfa responded with a tense mouth: "Yes, my lord, I will go now."

I have to say that Cao Yingfa is still very reliable in his work, and the budget is not bad, and all the expenses are not far from the budget made by Li Mingren himself.

"Okay, that's all." Li Mingren agreed.

Cao Yingfa looked at Chen Yiqing's sad face with a smile on his face.Li Mingren continued: "It's just that your paper is too stained, please rewrite it!"

"Ah? Yes, my lord." Cao Ying's face was also bitter.

Li Mingren was very happy, "Okay, I'll go to the office first, you are busy."

Needless to say, there have been fewer reports recently. Li Mingren thinks it is Yunlan's credit, because everyone is busy building schools to earn money and has no time to make trouble outside.

Li Mingli also said a few times when he came back that those gangsters who used to be rampant in the county have become the backbone of the work, and they are not sloppy in their work.Everyone wants to earn more wages, and to stay for one more meal.

There were also people making trouble on the construction site before, and Li Mingli fired the person without saying a word, and said that he would never use the person who made the trouble again. Everyone was frightened by this move.

Helping to build a school here, the wages are never in arrears, and the settlement is once every seven days. The daily meals are also full, and the dishes are delicious. From time to time, I can eat meat, and occasionally there is a meal that is fine grain.Who can leave this, just having a full meal makes people want to leave.
