Pastoral Trifles: The Poor Girl Turns Over

Chapter 739
Cheng Cheng said aggrievedly: "Didn't my brother-in-law help my husband escape the slavery a few days ago? We thought it was a good thing, but this morning my grandmother sent someone to send me the news, saying that I came back from the provincial capital. A friend of mine said that the provincial capital has started to recruit corvee workers, and this year all families who have not served in the small corvée must have one person to participate, woo, if something happens, how will our orphans and widows live!"

"There is such a thing? Why do we need so many corvee workers for the peace of the world?!" Xu Ruyun was also shocked, and couldn't help but glance at Cheng He. Cheng He felt uneasy, and stared at Cheng Cheng coldly.

These few words immediately made everyone in the room restless, and Cheng Cheng said again: "It's not that there is going to be a war, it is said that it is going to repair the mausoleum for the first emperor and build the mausoleum for the new emperor, woohoo, this is more disturbing than fighting Ah, if it's that fatal position, I won't be able to come back again, woohoo!"

"Oh my God!" Xu Ruyun slumped on the ground, and Cheng He couldn't hold himself still, and asked, "Then you mean that as long as you have served the military service, you can avoid this disaster?"

"That's what I mean, because the number of people recruited this time is not particularly large, so I came to beg my eldest sister today. Before the news comes out, let's quickly arrange a job for my husband. No matter how hard it is, as long as I can stay Just in town!"

"Yeah, this matter can't be delayed, brother Fanhua is not at home, so what should we do?" Cheng Huan said anxiously, this fatuous Yongdi was simply unbearable.

　  In the previous life, I heard that some emperors will start to build mausoleums after they succeed to the throne, which is a waste of money and people, but now that they are on the scene, they can clearly feel the horror and the sadness of being a commoner.

"Jia'er, don't delay, hurry up and find Wen Yan, no matter what, we have to arrange it for everyone, especially you Uncle Song, I don't think it will work, let him go to Ding, otherwise we can't think of anything Good idea!" Xu Ruyun let out a long breath, full of uneasiness.

Cheng Jia immediately said: "Okay, I won't take away Niang Wenjing, I will come back as soon as I get news!"

Cheng Cheng held Cheng Jia anxiously again, and begged, "Sister, we can only point fingers at you!"

"Okay!" Cheng Jia agreed, and walked out. Cheng Qian chased him out, and the father and daughter discussed the matter of driving the ox cart while walking. Cheng Jia left, but the anxiety in her heart did not dissipate at all.

A group of servants have just been recruited and left. A small town of Penglai still needs so many servants.

Cheng Huan was worried and bid farewell to Xu Ruyun and went to Song's house. When Song Che heard the news, his complexion also turned ugly, he nodded and said some words of thanks, and then said nothing else.

Now it can only be like this, even if Song Che asked her to find some leisure jobs, she dare not agree.

Feeling uneasy, Cheng Huan couldn't sit still anymore, so he went back to Cheng's house. In the evening, Wen Yan followed Cheng Jia, and when he got home, Cheng Huan secretly called Cheng Cheng over.

Seeing what Cheng Cheng said, Wen Yan pondered for a while before saying: "Now I have an errand. I just discovered an iron mine outside the city, and I just recruited stone cutters. Now there are still a few people short, but it is very hard, so..."

"No matter how hard it is!" Cheng Cheng answered immediately, and Wen Yan looked at Xu Ruyun again, "Mother-in-law, what do you think?"
