Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 144
In the magistrate's yamen not far from the county government office, Cui Yushu, the magistrate, was lying on a recliner with cushioned mats, half-closed his eyes, and asked, "What's the noise over there?"

"Hui Zunweng, after the county lord came, he tried two cases..."

"Don't talk about these old-fashioned things."

Cui Yushu waved his hand, "I mean, has she made any movement in the past few days?"

Master Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it slowly, he finally understood Cui Yushu's meaning.A look of embarrassment flashed across his face, he bowed and said, "I haven't handed over the greeting card yet."

"Ah……"

Cui Yushu took the watermelon from the handmaid, took a bite, sat up slowly, the maidservant next to her immediately stretched out her hand, Cui Yushu spit the black seeds into the handmaid's hand, cleared her throat, and said slowly: "Is it the watermelon in front of your Majesty? My son's celebrity, the county head is of a higher rank than the old man, so there is no need to meet him personally."

"But in this place, the honorable man is the most honorable."

"Where did you say that?"

Cui Yushu took another bite of the watermelon, chewed it slowly, and then spit out the seeds before continuing to speak slowly: "The local gentry is very powerful, so which one in Qingguo Lane is not a descendant of a famous official? Some are hundreds or thousands of years old." From a rich and powerful family, how can I be considered honorable as a small magistrate?"

Xin Zhao lowered his head, what he said was right, but how dare he answer it?

"Hehe, it's fine if she doesn't come to visit."

After eating a piece of melon, after taking the handkerchief from the maid and wiping her hands, Cui Yushu lay back on the recliner, closed her eyes, and murmured softly: "There are always some people who can't tolerate a woman domineering here, We also want to save the emperor's face, so we simply don't communicate with each other, which will save trouble."

"What the old man said is true."

Xin Zhao nodded again and again, "It's just that she has to build roads as soon as she comes, sir, do you see?"

"White walls, black tiles, bluestone paths, people's livelihood has been declining these years, and the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in Changzhou has long since declined. If she wants to do it, she can do it."

After a pause, he continued: "I don't need to hinder or worry about it. I will follow the rules and no one will find any mistakes."

"Your honorable man!"

Xin Zhao was busy flattering, "In this way, no one can blame us."

"Hehe, the local country gentry has always had ideas, and now she's back with a thorny head. Seeing her doing it, the old man feels at ease."

Cui Yushu waved his hand, "Just let it out and say that the old man is sick and it is not suitable to see guests."

"Yes, Your Honor!"

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the hearts of the people in Changzhou are getting hotter day by day.

The new county magistrate recruited people to build roads, and everyone was a little skeptical about the treatment he gave.But after buckets of white rice and fried pork were placed on the construction site, everyone went crazy!

Not to mention whether the promised rice and salt will be distributed, even the food has to be done!Moreover, there is also a daily supply of ice water, sour plum soup, and a bowl of iced mung bean soup every day to relieve the heat. They are willing to do this kind of work for 1 years!

What makes them even more incredible is that women, children, and the elderly also have food to eat!The food is the same as that of the young and old, you can't bring it, you can eat it!As for the treatment, it is half less than that of the young and strong!But even so, it's amazing!I have never seen the old and the weak in this world give this kind of treatment to work, this county magistrate is really kind!
Ever since, the minds of the villagers who had worked for a few days became alive.Those who call friends and friends are to find neighbors and relatives to come to work.These days, the land has been concentrated in the hands of the rich and powerful, and the families of these low-level people have a surplus of labor, but a shortage of land.

So now even the elderly and women have food to work, how can they not go back and call the folks?They also have thoughts.I thought in my heart, if the whole family works here, it will save money for food, and then there will be wages for wages. This is an opportunity to make a fortune!

Ever since, within a few days, the entire Wujin County was in turmoil, and many villagers came to the city from the countryside, just to make a living here!

A group of squires stared dumbfounded.

In the past, recruiting these unscrupulous people was always sneaky and tricky. How could they be so active?People who are conscripted are like dead mothers and fathers. Don't say they are going to greet other neighbors, they have to find ways to avoid conscripting.

These days, the court labor is not easy to do, such as dredging rivers and so on, it will kill people!Therefore, the people are particularly resistant to labor, because not only is it of no benefit, but it may cost their lives. Every time they are recruited, they make people resentful. For example, the previous flood prevention project was scolded to death by the people. Only then did he press down and not move.

But what did they see now?A group of mud-legged people brought their own parcels into the city, and rented a house with their own money, as if they were celebrating the New Year.It doesn't look like I'm here to work, but rather to enjoy it!
And they were also surprised by Zuofer's generosity!

Some people have secretly visited it many times, and it is really a meal of white rice, and there is meat in one meal!There is no scum at all, it is all high-quality white rice, even better than the polished rice they eat, without any variegation, it is as white as snow.

Some people let servants mix in and survived after working for a few days, but the servants who mixed in were a little bit reluctant to leave, and even showed the idea of ​​continuing to build roads.

According to the servant's report, the meals were excellent, but the vegetables were full of oil and salt.And those who work hard will get extra rewards, such as a chicken leg or a sea fish.

The wages have not yet come to settlement, but Zuo Fu's current treatment to the villagers is enough to shock them!

I haven't seen her collecting food in the market these few days, where does she get so much food supply?Vegetables, meat, fish, and chicken, I heard that she has someone to buy them. For this reason, more and more villagers have come to the city to sell them these days, and they all carry their own vegetables and chickens to sell to the county government!

These things are not very valuable, but it is not a small sum to provide three meals a day for so many people.Everyone heard that the county lord is quite good at making money, and holding the fairy medicine that can cure tuberculosis in his hand, he is making a lot of money in Nanjing, so rich!

But no matter how much money you have, you can't waste it on these mud legs, right?And the repair is the public road, why?Could this person be the reincarnation of a saint?

A group of squires muttered, but soon they were shocked!

Some places in the city were fenced off before, but in the past two days they discovered that those fences had been removed and replaced by a road without gaps!

There is really no gap at all, like a natural boulder falling directly, smooth and smooth, making people doubt their eyes.

Someone went up and stomped hard without giving up, and even bent down to pick it with his hands, but his nails were scratched, but the boulder road was still intact!

Surprised!

Surprised!

Could this be the cement used by the gods to build roads that the villagers are talking about?

It's amazing!

　It's really hard for Xiaomin to do things, alas!I came back very late today, I just finished writing Chapter 1, and there is another chapter later, everyone, wait for me!
