The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

After listening to Yun Lan's analysis and explanation at night, Li Mingren felt as if a stream of clear water had been poured into him. Thoughts were popping up in his mind, and he wished he could do a set of punches on the spot to calm himself down.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhao Yunlan lay down again and wanted to take a nap.The other person in the room seemed to have been given a shot of blood and was not sleepy at all.

"Madam, you go to bed while I go to the study to make some plans."

"Go ahead and don't disturb me tomorrow morning. I want to sleep more."

Li Mingren agreed excitedly, and consciously lowered his voice and walked to the study. It wasn't until the cocks crowed and the dogs barked, and the sky turned a little white, that Li Mingren came out of the study. Zhao Yunlan was still asleep at this time.

The school is closed today, but the yamen is on duty.Li Mingren freshened up, had breakfast with Ruiwen, and then went to Qian Yamen.Although he hadn't slept all night, he was still energetic and even walking was feeling windy. It was completely different from the previous few days.

"Sir, are there any happy events today?" Cao Yingfa habitually flattered, but it was not flattering. This person was actually able to sense Shangguan's emotions better than others and could provide Li Mingren with a good emotional value. This was also It can be regarded as an advantage of Cao Yingfa.And this 'other person' to be compared with was naturally Chen Yiqing, who came in the last step.

Li Mingren had become accustomed to Cao Yingfa's flattery and said happily: "We will talk about it in detail later. Is there any case to be heard today? If not, let's go to the meeting first."

The county government officials have already understood what a meeting means, that is, everyone gets together to talk for a while.

Cao Yingfa looked at the booklet with the daily affairs summary and said: "There are no lawsuits to be handled today, but today we have arranged to visit the countryside and start arranging corvee matters."

This booklet was also made by Li Mingren. Under the influence of Yunlan, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Write down the things to be done to improve the efficiency of work. Look through it before going to class every day to make sure that there is no missed official business.

"Okay, let's have a meeting first. Let's set the time for the yamen service and issue the order as soon as possible today. This will give everyone some time to prepare. In addition, I still have a few things to discuss with you."

Chen and Cao were sitting in the newly relocated conference room waiting. Li Mingren sent someone to call Xie Changwang, and within a quarter of an hour the four of them gathered.

"Okay, the first thing is to set the time for the corvee. What I want is to do the corvee for twenty days before the autumn harvest. What do you think?" Li Mingren went straight into the meeting without saying a word.

Cao Yingfa: "If it is to be scheduled before the autumn harvest, then ten days later, this will give the slave laborers a time to recuperate. However, the autumn harvest will be harvested only a few days after completing the labor service. People with strong laborers and few laborers may not be able to bear it."

Chen Yiqing pursed his lips and waited for Cao Yingfa to finish before speaking: "Yes, I think twenty days is a bit long. This time we are just repairing the embankment, and we have already sent people to check it, so it will be saved by then." This inspection time allows the laborers to go to work directly, so the time can be shortened to fifteen days, so that they can have a few more days of rest after the inspection."

Xie Changwang has no say in these matters, he just needs to listen and know.

Li Mingren continued: "Then let's set the date for the [-]th. I don't want to shorten the construction period and cause everyone to be impatient and self-defeating. This time I won't pretend to be fat. The labor subsidy will be cancelled, but I want to ensure that the laborers' meals are provided." We will increase some expenses to ensure that everyone can improve their meals during the period of corvee service, so that they will not have meat and fish every day, but we must ensure that they can have hot soup and rice every day."

Xie Changwang then spoke: "Then I will send a team of people to cook food near the river embankment. The county government has extra pots. We can take them directly and bury a stove to cook them."

Li Mingren nodded: "Well, that's what I mean. The manpower will be selected from the government officials who were unwilling to stay before. Speaking of which, the second thing is that I have decided not to reduce the manpower in the government office. I have all these people. Arrangement. So this is left to Lao Xie to handle, and then ask these 38 people if they are willing if the Yamen keeps them. If there are still some who are unwilling, let’s talk about it. "

Xie Changwang was happy in his heart. After all, they were all the people he brought out, and most of the people here chose to leave because they were not sure they could be kept.

"Okay, sir, I will go and talk to you after the meeting."

"Okay, do you still have any opinions on the corvée issue?"

"No." Cao and Chen responded.To say that Chen Yiqing was happy, County Magistrate Li could figure out how to cancel the subsidy for slave laborers and improve the food. The food cost was much less than the subsidy, so that the county government could be more comfortable. "Okay, let's talk about the second thing. The autumn harvest just a few days after the corvee mentioned earlier, so I plan to hold an activity to go to the countryside to help farmers this year, and select poor families in each village, and we will help with the autumn harvest. Then, the village chiefs of each village are united to coordinate the large number of strong laborers in each village, and the villages help each other.

We don’t all go out to the county government offices at the same time. We go to the countryside in batches to ensure the normal operation of the county government offices.I was in the first group, taking the lead, and everyone participated. Everyone went to the countryside for two days.Today, when we go to the countryside to visit, we will first have a general understanding of the situation in each village and make response arrangements. "

"Yes." Cao Yingfa was surprised and a little troubled. Hey, he couldn't avoid doing hard work. He thought so in his heart, but he didn't refute it.

Chen Yiqing and Xie Changwang didn't feel much about it. Xie Changwang was still thinking of arranging to go to his village directly, to go back home on official business and help the family with some work.

"By the way, the county government alternates its manpower arrangements and does not allow you to go back to your own village, so as not to end up working for your own family only. I will leave this matter to Lao Xie. After you draw up the list, hand it over to Lao Chen Preliminary review, then review by Cao County Magistrate, and finally I will confirm it."

Xie Changwang was hit in the heart and had to respond obediently: "Okay, sir."

"Then, the issue of only collecting [-]% ​​tax for this year's autumn harvest was also announced at the same time as the service order. I will talk about this matter today. Later, Lao Chen will go to the countryside with me, and I will order a few government servants to go with us. Lao Cao You hurry up and issue service orders and autumn harvest announcements, and Lao Xie will take charge of the service."

"Yes! Your lord."

Li Mingren went to change out of his official uniform and led the people out of the Yamen.

Zhao Yunlan slept here until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, "Chunxiang, why did you hear Qing'er crying?"

"The young lady didn't see the madam during dinner, so she was a little unhappy. At the moment, Grandma Cui is hugging her and coaxing her, and the young master is also teasing the young lady."

Zhao Yunlan washed her face and brushed her teeth, "Bring Qing'er over here, I'll hold her for a while."

"Yes, ma'am."

After getting dressed, Aunt Cui came with Qing'er.

"Oh, let me see which little cutie is crying!"

Qing'er reached out to Zhao Yunlai for a hug, and uttered short syllables in her mouth as if she was shouting: "Sheep (Mother)".

"Hey, mother, please hug baby Qing'er!" Zhao Yunlan took the little girl, "Let's go to dinner with mother, but you just drank milk, so you can only watch mother eat."

In her mother's arms, Xiao Qing'er felt much more at ease. She didn't cry or make a fuss, but made babbling sounds in response to Zhao Yunlan's words.

"Where is Ruiwen?" Zhao Yunlan asked Grandma Cui without seeing her son.

"The young master went to the study to review his lessons."

"This boy is quite self-conscious today. He asked He Hua to cook me a bowl of wontons. I want to eat some wontons today. I will make some food and take it to Zhuangzi later. The rice cooked by the eldest sister at Zhuangzi is really good. It’s not very tasty.”

During this time, Zhuangzi was building a factory, so they invited a few women from the local villages to cook. These women had average cooking skills. The men who came to work did not care about the taste of the food. They were all poor people. They were at home every day. You can't even eat until you're eighty percent full, but the workers here are provided with plenty of food every day, not to mention the occasional bit of meat, so everything they eat tastes delicious to everyone. .
