The whole family travels with me

Chapter 43

Manager Zhao is settling the accounts for Huang Ye. The master has given orders not to take advantage of the people, nor to blatantly let people misunderstand that he is the one who has been taken advantage of. He has to be particular about how he calculates the money. He has been settling accounts until he is bald these days. After a while, Huang Ye urged him to run away from home with the few hairs he had left.

Look up, what a guy!Why did the master come with me? Isn’t this going to cost him his life?
Manager Zhao quickly speeded up. After almost half an hour, he finally put down his abacus, raised his head and said nervously: "Okay, according to the purchase price of our house, the total is 95 taels."

"Put it together." Tian Huai suddenly said.

Manager Zhao immediately changed his mind and said, "Twelve thousand taels, each person participating in the expedition will be divided into almost 1 taels. The women who work will be paid according to their wages. The detailed accounts are here."

Manager Zhang respectfully presented the account book.

Huang Ye didn't even look at it, and said: "I can rest assured that Manager Zhao will do the work. I will give you money later and it will cause trouble to Manager Zhao. I will give you a big red envelope afterwards."

Manager Zhao was sincere and frightened, "Don't dare, don't dare. This is the responsibility of my subordinates and it should be done."

Tian Huai heard the two people being polite there and carefully flipped through the account books for a while. After making sure that there was no problem, he ordered the people below to deal with it.

"The combined wealth of an ordinary household in Longcheng is only a few dozen taels. Those with more than a hundred taels are considered rich. Last year, you helped them earn 25 taels. Plus this time, 30 taels. Maybe it's more than that. Their My family's wealth is comparable to that of ordinary people in Dragon City, is there anything I can't let go of?" Tian Huai turned his head and looked at Huang Ye.

Huang Ye shook her head, smiled with satisfaction, and skipped out of Manager Zhao's yard. She looked up at the sky and thought to herself, "Huang Ye, you were born an orphan. You grew up eating the food of hundreds of families and were raised by Po Meng Sangpo." I have repaid these kindnesses for you, and you can rest in peace!"

As soon as I thought about it, my heart suddenly relaxed, as if the last shackles that had been imprisoned for a long time were opened, and I suddenly became enlightened.

The corners of her mouth curved wider, and her eyes narrowed into a straight line.

Tian Huai suddenly came up from behind her. Seeing her like this, he also laughed, "Let's go! Pack your luggage. The imperial envoy will enter the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It's almost time for us to leave."

"Okay! I have to work hard, Major General, to get me some more cages. I have raised a lot of babies, and they need to be taken away in breathable bamboo cages. There are also some medicines I developed myself. This one needs to be waterproof and anti-fall. Pack it in a box, oh, by the way, there are more.”

Tian Huai was still listening carefully at first, but then he gradually lost his smile. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and directly covered Huang Ye's mouth, "If you need anything, ask the housekeeper yourself!"

Huang Ye nodded vigorously.

Tian Huai let out a long sigh of relief and walked away proudly.

Distributing money to the people was a big deal. As soon as the news spread, people from several villages came.

Yongding Street was once again blocked with water. Fortunately, everyone was here for money. The manager from above gave a shout and everyone stood in line obediently.

Mrs. Zhe was so nervous that she wrung her hands together. In front of her was Xu Erqian, and behind her was her son.

"Head of the family, you and our son can both get 30 taels, and I can get a few hundred taels. This time we have more than 60 taels all of a sudden. Let's keep the bulk of it. A few hundred taels are enough for this year. I think about it. Then we bought five minutes of wasteland next to it, built two more stone houses, and dug a solid cellar.

I heard from Li Yang that all of them plan to do this!In the past, we were poor and had no choice. Even if there was a war, we could still worry about life and death. Now that we have finally got some money, we have to find a way to save our lives first! "

Zhe's voice was drowned in the noisy crowd, and only Xu Erqian and his son could hear her clearly.Xu Erqian frowned and couldn't make up his mind.

Zhe continued to advise: "Don't take it seriously. According to the rules, unless the people like us who are exiled to Pucheng have Huang Ye's ability to win the attention of nobles, they have to endure it slowly and survive for five generations before they can leave.

We have no hope in this life, but we have to think about our children and grandchildren, right?You can only think of other things if you have your destiny. If you dig a cellar, we can hide in it if there is another war someday. It is best if Pucheng is fine. If Pucheng is broken one day, we will not just sit and wait for death! "

The reason why their family was exiled was because Xu Erqian had an unknown uncle. The family had not yet been separated when his uncle committed the crime, so their family was implicated. According to Chen's law, their generation was exiled for the third generation. Grandson It means five generations of exile, and the great-grandchildren can leave Pucheng at any time if they want.

The two of them should be able to see their great-grandson born in their lifetime. In the past, when Gongsun County Magistrate controlled Pucheng, everyone lived in dire straits. Zhe never dared to think about this, but now she would naturally think more about whether it would be a good time. She was not the only one to think about it. Almost all families plan this way.

The few people in front of Xu Erqian were Li Mu's family. He hesitated for a moment and went over to chat with Li Mu's father for a while. When he came back, he was no longer confused at all, and was even faintly excited.

Zhe asked curiously.

Xu Erqian whispered: "Li Mu's father said that the village chief is going to discuss it with the village elder. Since we want to do it together, we can do it together."

The village chief also wants to build a large cellar in a hidden part of the village, which can be used to store food when there is no need. It will also provide multiple hiding places for everyone in case of an accident. However, this is what Li Mu's father told him not to let women know, so as not to make her talk loudly. Since he couldn't keep the secret, he didn't dare to tell Mr. Zhe.

When Zhe heard that he could do it, his face instantly turned into a smile, "Let's do it together! We can also save a lot of money!"

To make a cellar with stones, you have to go to the river to dig stones. With so many people trying to make it, the stones in the river may not be enough. You may have to buy them from people outside Pucheng. In all likelihood, you will have to ask Huang Ye for help. .

In just a moment, Mr. Zhe had already thought far ahead.

As soon as everyone returned to the village after receiving the money, the village chief convened a meeting with the whole village. As Zhe had guessed, Huang Ye needed help. Fortunately, Li Mu was resting at home today and he took the initiative to take the lead.

This was not a big deal at first, but Tian Huai agreed after thinking for a moment, so the people in Pucheng began to dig stones to build cellars. Even Ah Li and the others had to go back every night to help with the work.

In this busy scene, the imperial envoy entered the city.

Tian Huai led a group of people and stood on the north side of Yongding Street, while Wei Tong and his people stood on the south side. Everyone looked towards the city gate.

The carriage stopped on Yongding Street. Mr. Wen's expression was solemn, and his fists under his sleeves were suddenly clenched. Tian Huai was already ready to go. His posture was not like accepting an imperial envoy, but rather like he was here to fight.

The curtain of the car was raised, and a gorgeous young man wearing a gold crown and a red and gold shirt appeared in front of everyone.

Mr. Wen blinked fiercely and was stunned.

Tian Huai also looked like he had seen a ghost, "Why is it you?"
