The time of Xu has not yet arrived.
Officials at all levels have been arranged in several rooms in the Governor's Mansion.
There are four armored and sharp iron guards guarding the door of each room. They are not allowed to step out of the door to eat, drink or have sex.
The official in question paced anxiously back and forth in the room, being stopped every time he made an excuse to go to the toilet.
"Sir, Li Gan made a mistake today. If he continues to talk nonsense in front of the Prime Minister tomorrow, what should we do?"
Jiangzhou Biejia and Xue Shimin are locked up together. , his teeth chattered as he spoke.
Biejia is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He is white, plump and looks rich. He usually has a smile that makes people feel friendly.
In fact, he was a sharp knife in the hands of the governor Xue Shiliang, cutting the flesh of the people one after another.
I have made a lot of money over the years, and there is almost no place to put the gold and silver in my family.
Xue Shiliang stood in front of the closed window sill with his hands behind his back. He suddenly turned around and grabbed his collar, grinning like an angry lion.
"Didn't I ask you to find out how many people the capital official brought here? How did you tell me!"
Never have you ever seen the governor so angry? Jing Jing explained, "Sir, it's not that the subordinate is incompetent, but that the prime minister is too cunning!"
"Who knew that three thousand fine knights would arrive half an hour later."
Xue Seriang slapped him in the face and stared at him fiercely, "You useless thing, if something goes wrong, I'll make you look good!"
They also didn't expect that Fang Xuanling was just the ex-girlfriend. to take charge of drought relief work.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin would attach great importance to his safety and directly sent the commander of the Forbidden Army and three thousand elite cavalry to escort him.
Although there were several red marks on the fat on Biejia’s face, he still managed to put on a smile.
I saw him approaching Xue Shiliang flatteringly, "Sir, find a way to delay for half an hour before setting off tomorrow, and send people to inform the families in each county to dig the river."
"Let them collect another hundred stones of grain to make porridge, and when the prime minister arrives, Jie Jie..."
"Let me tell you how to do it specifically."
< p> Xue Shiliang put his hands on his arms and sounded a little anxious.When it comes to Wu Sha Mao, regardless of whether his idea is useful or not, he can only act like a dead horse now.
"Sir, let's do this..."
...
Li Gan was lying on the bed, staring blankly Luxurious silk tent on top.
He did not dare to close his eyes.
Because as soon as you close your eyes, you will see people wandering with their families, you will see thin people with only skeletons starving to death on the road, and you will see poor farmers lying on the cracked ground. Cry loudly.
HimHe also comes from a poor family and has experienced countless famines. He knows what it means to have no food.
Han Chuang studied hard for decades and finally passed the examination. After struggling for decades, he finally sat down as the magistrate of Longmen County.
He wanted to do something practical for the people, but the obstacles of reality shattered his idealistic dream.
If he dares to stand up and expose the darkness of Jiangzhou today, he is ready to be generous and generous.
...
Dozens of soldiers holding spears stood at the door of the governor's study room, looking solemnly in all directions.
There were only an angry-looking Fang Xuanling and a stern-looking Niu Jinda in the room.
"General Niu, send 500 cavalry to check the Fenhe River channel and the disaster situation in various counties overnight."
"I will make arrangements right away. You are tired from traveling and traveling, please rest early. "
Niu Jinda walked out of the study, handed his general token to a guard, and whispered in his ear.
After the guards bowed and left, in less than a stick of incense, five hundred cavalrymen quickly left the city holding torches. The guards at the city gate had long been replaced by their own people, and there was no obstruction at all.
In the room.
Fang Xuanling looked at the secret documents brought back by spies from various places piled on the table, and felt sad in her heart.
......
Majiazhuang, in the yard of Wang Jian's house.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Several supervisors from Majiazhuang and Lao Tietou gathered around a table, and now it was Uncle Fu who was reporting.
"Manager Wang, all 100 guan will be used to buy grain. Rice and wheat are both 3 Wen per catty, and the total purchase is more than 33,000 catties."
"Although it is old grain , but most of the grains look full and better than this year's grains."
When Fubo reported, his beard stood up with excitement.
He still clearly remembers that when dozens of carts of grain were transported from Fangshi, the eyes of passers-by were filled with envy.
"Buying iron materials is more troublesome. Many aristocratic families have tightened their grip and refused to sell. We have plundered all the surrounding counties. It was the old iron head who asked his old friends for help, so we were able to get it together."
Iron was scarce and expensive, and most of it was in the hands of the government and wealthy families.
What's more, there is a lot of commotion around Majiazhuang as wells are being dug everywhere. A bunch of idiots are making a lot of money, and some people are inevitably jealous.
After Uncle Fu finished speaking, Han Xuelian also stood up. She was still dressed as she was during the day.
"We bought a total of 300 chickens, 100 ducks, and 40 piglets. They have been put into a breeding farm and arranged for a dozen sisters to look after and feed them."
< p> "All the vegetable seeds and melon seedlings we bought were planted in wasteland, and we also arrangedA dozen dedicated sisters take care of it. ”There are hundreds of hard-working and capable sisters in the village, and Han Xuelian’s manpower is the most sufficient.
And everyone is good at work, so she basically doesn’t need to do more. Worry.
After they finished their report, Master Ma said to Wang Jian with a smile
"You don't know, Jian'er, in order to buy all these things, Uncle Fu. Xiao Han and the others searched both Longmen County and Jiang County. "
There was no need for Mr. Ma to remind him. When Wang Jian saw that each of them had darkened a lot, he knew that these two days would not be easy.
Uncle Fu's face His crow's feet became more obvious, and he waved his hands nonchalantly, "It's even harder for Shear and the others to dig wells. Why don't we just run errands? Why bother?" "
"We are all old farmers, and what I do is not a big job. "
Lao Tietou looked at the stewards who cared about each other and worked hard to do their jobs, and the feeling of family emerged spontaneously.
He smiled and said, "Brother Wang, today Third brother was not idle, he personally helped me build a new blacksmithing room. "
Mr. Ma shook his head, "Master Tietou, please stop making fun of me. What I do is nothing. I can't get my generous monthly salary in vain, right? ”
“Haha. "
Several old men laughed heartily. It's great that everyone can contribute to building a beautiful home!
After joking for a while, Wang Jian dismissed the joint village repair team. The story about the well was revealed.
After listening to Wang Jian’s words, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Mr. Ma spoke first.
His expression was a little complicated, "Jian'er, Xiu Village is a big village. The newly established well drilling team is completely under their control. Will it be out of our management?"
"Yes, Jian'er, if they learn the art of digging wells and go out to do private work on their own, isn't it obvious that we will suffer a big loss?" "
Uncle Jun is also a person who has seen the wind and rain, and knows the dangers of the human heart.
Wang Jian had already guessed that they would react like this.
Wait for them After almost speaking, Wang Jian stood up and said, "Can the people in Majiazhuang alone be able to complete the well-drilling business in Hedong Road, Guannai Road, Henan Road and the entire Datang?" "
"No, but..."
Wang Jian raised his hand to interrupt them, and then said, "If we want to make a lot of money, we must recruit more people. . "
"We have just recruited hundreds of refugees now, and if we continue to recruit refugees, it will be difficult for us to control it. ”
“As our neighboring village, Xiucun knows each other well and is the most suitable candidate at the moment. ”
“If we want others to join us in digging wells, can we continue to develop in the long term if we don’t treat everyone equally? ”
Everyone lowered their heads and carefully studied Wang Jian’s words. Their thoughts were very conservative.
I just want to make a lot of money and get rich.
"You also know the profits from drilling wells. Some people will inevitably be jealous in the future. Now we can unite more people to dig wells so that our interests can be protected."
Wang Jian doesn't know either. Did any of them listen?
At this moment, she is like a frustrated daughter-in-law, lowering her head and sulking with her hands in her legs.
