The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family Chapter 642

Riding into the city on horseback was too conspicuous, so Yan Laoer advised Mr. Xue Qi to go home first. Seeing that he would have to stay in Huju City for a few days, he couldn't run away.

As soon as Xue Zongqi thought about it, the two separated.

Yan Laoer led Sanbao into the city without any hindrance.

Who in Huju doesn't know him?

 After just brushing his face, the boys guarding the gate came over excitedly.

After muttering for a long time, I don't know who shouted first, “Uncle, you're back!”

 The other boys, as if they were missing an uncle at home, were vying to get him home.

Yan Laoer was very easy-going, as if his uncle had just come back from outside and followed him into the city.

 To be assigned to guard the city gate, such an important position must be from a trustworthy family.

Before Yan Lao Er even entered the house, the news of his return spread like a strong wind.

 When he entered the courtyard, thanked his master, sat down in the hall, and took a sip of hot tea, people from Huju City who worked for the yamen for free started to come one after another.

 Everyone knows about his relationship with the great master. Master and disciple are like father and son, and his presence is equivalent to the great master's presence.

Yan Laoer made it clear why he came, and I'm here to take stock.

 The sound of crackling abacus soon enveloped the place.

The famous accountants in the city, including the accountant who once taught him Zheng, are all gathered under this small square roof.

　　It's not that I don't know, it's just that I'm shocked.

When the Huju government office was operating normally, there were not so many things going on, but when it came to the common people, it was different.

 Let's talk about patrolling the city.

 One team during the day and another at night. Except for the watchmen, there were almost no people wandering around the streets at night.

The officers in the Yamen are also experienced. They are used to patrolling and know how to go.

But when it came to the people, they were at a loss, especially when there were outsiders and border troops stranded in the city. They had to summon strong men from all the families in the city to be bold with their numbers, without daring to relax at all. They took turns day and night to compete. The yamen's servants have done their job much better.

This is the scene where the elders of each family guard the city gate.

The original city defense troops died on the day they went to Qiucheng to break the city. Later, General Xue sent troops and took them away again outside the pass. At present, only the barn is guarded by a group of tiger troops. The rest are all the pride of the people in the city.

 Let's talk about the resettlement of people rescued from outside the customs.

 Everyone who is sick or injured needs medical treatment, which involves medical expenses, medication and manpower to take care of them.

 Having a place to stay is also a problem.

The temporary shelters were not enough to keep out the wind and cold. At this time of year, they had to be dispersed and placed in people's homes.

  It is another expenditure on firewood and rice.

The blacksmith's workshop in the city is directly under the government. It has been making weapons before, and iron and coal are supplied in sufficient quantities. Because of the rush to work, the fire in the blacksmith's workshop has never been cut off.

Now that the war was over, the yamen was surrounded before the workshop could settle the accounts. When he heard that Yan Laoer was here to reconcile the accounts on behalf of Mr. Tian, ​​the steward of the workshop also came over. What he was worried about was not the reconciliation of accounts, but the settlement of accounts. Spring plowing is about to begin. According to the usual practice in previous years, they should bring out a batch of farm tools at this time. The exact number and proportion are determined by the Yamen.

 In previous years, Master Tian would go to the countryside to check things out in person before spring, and then make a final decision when he came back. This year, no one in the yamen could come out. The closer the day came, the more anxious the stewards were. But by chance, Yan Laoer came, and he had a backbone.

Because there were so many outsiders staying in the city, there were even more people sweeping the streets and collecting dung.

Yan Laoer:…

There are also those who set up stalls in the city. The yamen patrolling the streets have to collect copper coins. The shops on the streets also have to pay tribute every month, and the fares for people and carriages entering the city, etc. These invisible incomes are not easy to feed into the yamen. When I asked him openly, he had to catch Yan Laoer, so he had to ask him face to face how to give him the money.

 They felt it was very hot when they held it themselves.

Yan Laoer:…

From the eyes of the people, these are the most important things. On the contrary, the yamen wants to calculate their work points, so don't be anxious and trust them.

 Meals must be eaten one bite at a time, and matters must be solved one by one.

Yan Laoer put on his posture and worked for the teacher.

 Start work!

Father and daughter are not in the same mood.

Yan Laoer is so busy that he wishes he could have three heads and six arms. Yan Yu is so happy to be here today, hehe, happy!

 The countdown to the long-lost platform.

 Appeared!

 La la la, tonight is worth looking forward to.

 She was on her way to the opencast coal mine.

　　Cycling alone, I was writing and drawing in the notebook I carried with me, thinking about what to trade for tonight, and what I wanted to exchange for something useful to her and their family.

Jiuxiao was released by her again, searching for wild animals all over the mountains and plains.

For the sake of sustainable development, she specified that she did not want live animals, but only those that were frozen to death and could be eaten.

Yan Yu clicked on a place on the map and made an appointment with Jiuxiao to meet there before midnight tonight.

It was a mountain not far from the border camp. The mountains were densely forested. She thought that if she needed points urgently, she could cut down the trees nearby.

There are no coal mines in Guanzhou. Every winter, the weather is unbearable and a large amount of coal needs to be purchased from Xizhou.

This time they robbed a coal mine in Xizhou, and it was an open-pit mine. How could the King of England not be so happy that he went straight to the open-pit coal mine after leaving Qiongshan County?

 Even the face of King Qi can't be taken into consideration. Yes, I am so impatient!

Although Mr. Luan did not say it clearly, letting Gu Fengcheng take charge of the mine has already shown his attitude.

 This coal mine is close to being in Guanzhou.

Even if there is a very small chance, Leshan has a slight possibility, but Xizhou has no chance.

 The current situation is that Leshan is about to fall under the rule of the British King. So the ownership of this coal mine, haha, there is no dispute about its ownership!

The King of England was so happy that he invited Yan Huaiwen to the car and had a great talk.

From the coal mine to the management of Leshan later, Yan Huaiwen had already planned for Leshan, so he had some ideas. In addition to strategically reaching the vertical line of the two prefectures encircling Xizhou, Leshan Prefecture is adjacent to Qishan Prefecture, and Qishan Prefecture started last year. , there has been a severe drought for several years. Others don't know it, but he knows that the whole mountain will be drought for three years.

 In the past three years, although there has been a cold disaster in the north, it has not delayed the harvest, and the south has also been fine.

 The latter was something he could not plan for. It was a long-term plan. The northern prefectures should calm down the wars and chaos, plow the vast fields deeply, and store grain to cope with the changes in the weather. This is the safe way.

population!

 The north requires a large number of people for farming and sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn.

 As for Qishan Prefecture, victims were everywhere.

 Just what Guanzhou needs.

At this time, Yan Huaiwen suggested to the King of England that when sending troops into Leshan to suppress bandits, he might as well publicize Guanzhou's move to resettle the victims, and then open up the official road post station to pave a smooth road from Qishan Prefecture to Guanzhou Prefecture via Leshan Prefecture. Come.

 Introduce disaster victims and naturalize in Guanzhou.

"Is it appropriate to seize people from Qishan Prefecture across Leshan Prefecture?" The King of England could not make up his mind for a while.

This is a whole big mansion away.

There are two different things between the victims fleeing the famine on their own and them coming to rob them.

"The two prefectures of Guanzhou and Leshan will all be under the rule of the prince in the future. Please treat them equally and treat them equally." Yan Huaiwen said.

Yan Yu came to see his uncle when he heard this.

She really didn't eavesdrop on purpose this time, it was just a coincidence.

Yan Yuxin said that the uncle was really good at speaking.

This means that from now on, Leshan will also belong to you, just like Guanzhou. What's wrong with putting up a sign recruiting workers in front of your house?

Didn't you go into Qishan Mansion to fish for people?

　　His!

 Yan Yu blinked.

 Having said that, even if they really go in to fish for people, what can Qishan Mansion do?

Isn't it true that our King of England has love and Guanzhou has affection, and extended a helping hand to poor Qishan Mansion?

 I came to work the day before yesterday and stayed up for two long nights~

 Zhaizhai is really hard-working now, working hard to make a small amount of money~

Dear friends, please don't slack off. You have enough food at home, so don't panic~

We are about to enter the stage of farming and stocking up grain. We in Guanzhou should take every step in a down-to-earth manner. Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, every grain of grain is watered with sweat and hard work. Ah, it tastes delicious!
