Chapter 127 The Prefect's Conspiracy ([-])
"It's about a hundred taels of silver in total!" Mi Xiaowan said after a rough calculation.

"There are more than a hundred taels of silver!" Zhang said thoughtfully.

"Mom, what do you want to do?" Mi Xiaoyue saw that Mrs. Zhang was thinking.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Kuo and the others and said. "I think our family may really want to build a house!"

Build a house?Mi Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the current house of the Mi family naturally. The materials used in this house are all from the old house of the Mi family. It has been nearly 70 years at least, although Mi Tianqing repairs it every year. , but the house still looks very old. Apart from the shop, the Mi family now has more than [-] acres of land, which have been accumulated over the past few years. When it comes to building a house, the Mi family has the financial strength, but But because there is no one, Mi Tianqing has to take care of the business in the shop, there are only Zhang's mother and daughter in the family, and building a house is a man's business, and it is difficult for the women to come forward, and Mi Tianqing is reluctant to part with the shop The business here has been delayed.

"That's right! There are so many strong laborers in the family now!" Mi Xiaowan looked at Zhang Kuo and others who were working.

Zhang said in surprise. "What did you say, girl! She is a guest!"

When Mi Xiaowan curled her lips, she didn't care, what happened to eating their food, drinking their food, and doing some work!However, she couldn't command these people, and she glanced at the room where Qiqi was resting.

In the evening, Mi Xiaowan took Mi Xiaoyue and Qiqi to the pond at the back of the mountain to take a bath. Zhang Kuo was no longer surprised by this. He always thought that Mi Xiaowan was talking about his sister and Gege Wangfeng.

"Qiqi, my father wants to build you a new house here!" Mi Xiaowan sat in the pond and slapped the surface of the water.

"Really! Uncle Mi is so kind, he cooks so many delicious food for me every day and even builds a house for me!" Qi Qi was very moved.

"Yeah, it's not like I've got blisters on my mouth these two days because I couldn't find anyone to help build the house!" Mi Xiaowan said with some distress. Mi Tianqing did have blisters on his mouth this morning, but that It's because the crayfish got angry last night! "Several big burns, my mother is so distressed!"

"Isn't it just to find someone to build a house! Tomorrow I will ask Zhang Kuo to go to Fucheng to find the magistrate, and ask him to find some skilled craftsmen for you." Qi Qiyi patted her small chest and said.

"Looking for the magistrate?" Mi Xiaowan just wanted Qiqi to ask Zhang Kuo and the others to help, but now it seems that it's a bit messed up! "Is it really good for us as a peasant family to build a house and find the magistrate?"

"What's wrong! You are building a house for Ben Gege. It is his blessing that the magistrate can contribute a little bit of effort. Let him find a craftsman, so he doesn't have to pay the wages!" Qi Qi thought of Shi Yingxing when he thought of the magistrate. , the tone naturally rushed up.

"This is not good!" Mi Xiaoyue shook her head and said. "We don't pay wages, so the magistrate will definitely not give them. The craftsmen are the ones who suffer in the end! We all came from hard times, so we can't blame others to suffer!"

"Don't worry about this, I'll ask Zhang Kuo to keep an eye on him. He must pay the craftsmen wages, and he can't take it from the government's account, let his family pay!" Qiqi patted Mi Xiaoyue on the shoulder. Said.

Mi Xiaoyue and Mi Xiaowan looked at each other, their eyes were full of disapproval, after all, the magistrate is the parent official of this party, no matter how good Qiqi has a good relationship with them, the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away, they are just It's just a little ant under the magistrate's hands, what capital do you have to fight him?
