In early spring and February, the weather is warm and cold. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the early morning, the Wumeng Mansion surrounded by mountains was shrouded in a thin mist, and from a distance, it actually added a bit of fairy energy.

The city gate was wide open, and the farmers and mountain people who had been waiting outside the city for a long time took up their burdens and carried bamboo baskets on their backs, and lined up to enter the city one after another.

The streets and alleys of the city are gradually becoming lively, the small vendors selling breakfast and eating are busy and sweating, and the townspeople who patrol the city have already made a round, and are sitting in groups of three or five on the stalls for breakfast.

"A bowl of rice noodles!"

The man who spoke was a short, dark man, dressed in a navy blue robe, with a three-finger-wide belt around his waist and a sword tied around his waist.

With a pair of black boots under his feet and no hat on his head, he knew from just looking at the costume that he was a member of the Wumeng Township Warrior Regiment.

With him were three or four other men, all dressed in the same costume, all about twenty or thirty years old, tall and short, fat and thin, but all of them were strong without exception.

And the spirit is very good, and there is a strong force in the action.

A few of them sat down neatly, some of them had rice noodles, some wanted rice noodles, some wanted wontons, and some wanted buns, and several voices came and went, which was very lively.

"Hey, brothers, have you heard, Gu Yiren wants to experiment with new crops, and deliberately spent money to buy hundreds of acres of mountainous land, and is also ready to recruit some experienced old farmers, with good wages and two food miles a day!"

When it was done, the short and thin man gossiped and said to his companions.

"So good? Not only pay wages, but also include meals? Several people were surprised.

One of them, a man with a sharp beak and a shrewd face, lowered his voice and said, "Luo San, have you heard the difference, the government may not be recruiting farmers, but conscription?" ”

Wumeng has been in chaos a few years ago, the government is just a decoration, Liang Zhifu has been in office for more than ten years, and every year according to the practice to levy conscription, but every year it has not been successful.

Therefore, the city wall of Umeng Mansion is the most broken, the moat is a decoration, and as for other public facilities, it is too lazy to mess up.

To put it mildly, the capital city of Umeng is not as good as the dock fort of some wealthy families.

There is no way, the civil service cannot be requisitioned, and the yamen has no money, so Wumeng can only be shabby to the end.

After Qi Jinzhi came, he directly arrested a large number of ruffians and bandits in the township, drove them to repair the city walls, dig moats, and some were even driven to dig ditches and terraces, and did all the work that originally belonged to civilian service.

Unfortunately, these villagers here used to be ruffians, and a few months ago, they were whipped and beaten with sticks by Lord Qi's guards to do coolies.

Therefore, they are very sensitive to 'conscription' and so on.

Luo San twitched his cheeks, and then smiled: "No, no, I asked Liu Tou'er, and his old man said that this time it was not an errand for the government office, but Gu Yiren's own livelihood, so Gu Yiren also paid for recruiting farmers and other expenses." ”

Liu Touer in his mouth, that is, the head of Xiangyong, Liu Hu and Uncle Liu beside Qi Jinzhi.

Liu Hu and Qi Dayong are Qi Jinzhi's right-hand men, the most confidants.

As soon as a few people heard Liu Hu's words, they knew that it was the truth.

"Oh, this is a good thing, Gu Yiren is the most charity person who cares for the people, and what she takes the lead will not make the villagers suffer."

The young man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks hurriedly patted his ass. This is really against his will, Gu Jialuo is a philanthropist?

The more than 200 Tartar ghosts who died in Usa looked at the sky speechlessly, and only the word 'hehe' could express their bitter feelings.

"Well, I just don't know how much I get paid every day? If we could, we would have a few capable old farmers in the village. ”

Someone interjected and asked, and the tone seemed to be a little moved.

Also, Wumeng is barren, and the farmers have worked hard for a year, and the harvested grain has paid the protection fee to the owners and wealthy families, and the rest is only enough for the family's rations.

If you encounter a rogue or bandit again, you won't be able to keep this idea.

As for the money left, that's really not much.

On weekdays, I pick some wild vegetables, mountain delicacies, and hunt some prey, but I can only exchange some salt, and at the end of the year, there are few eldest sons who really fall into the pocket.

Gu Yiren may be a 'demon' in the hearts of those wealthy families and wealthy families, but for ordinary people, he is a heroine who dares to kill Tartars and defend the city.

And everyone has also heard that Gu Yiren is a noble person in Beijing, his grandfather is the grandfather of the country, he has military power in his hands, and his uncle is a household secretary, who is in charge of the world's money and grain, and Gu Yiren's net worth is not ordinarily rich.

She was not a stingy person, and if this was really her livelihood, then she would not have treated the farmers who worked for her badly.

"Hey, you kid that's a good question. Liu Touer said that each selected farmer can get 20 copper coins a day, including two meals a day. If there is a distant home, accommodation is also provided, but the salary has to be deducted from five copper plates for the room fee. ”

Luo San said grinningly, the voice was very loud, and the diners on the other tables of the stall could hear it clearly.

The person at a table next to him couldn't help but interject: "Twenty copper coins a day, it's really a lot." ”

The price of Daqi is very low, under normal circumstances, a liter of rice is only eight or nine copper coins, and a strong laborer can get about ten copper coins a day. Skilled talents such as carpenters and blacksmiths earn only about 20 copper coins a day.

Gu Jialuo gave twenty yuan a day, including food, which is definitely a high salary.

Isn't it just doing farm work, even those who have lived in the county for a long time can also take a few strokes, not to mention those farmers outside the city.

The best thing is that Gugaro did not limit the age or gender of the farmers, and everyone thought that the spring ploughing was imminent, and the strong laborers of the family would have to work in their own fields. But the old people in the family can't do too heavy work, so what, if Gu Yiren doesn't dislike it, he can let his parents go over and give it a try.

If you can't stay, you'll come back.

Several tables of diners on the stall began to discuss, the boss and the proprietress were busy, and after a short time, they brought up the meals ordered by a few villagers.

Holding the snow-white and smooth rice noodles, Luo San ate very happily, and his heart was silently full of calculations, well, go to West Street at noon, and be sure to publicize this matter to the whole city as soon as possible.

……

"Qi Gu, when is this, why aren't you in a hurry? Don't you want to grow warbler millet anymore? ”

The master, that is, Gu Jialuo's old acquaintance, Ms. He Banxia, rushed to the main room of the back office in a hurry, and saw Gu Jialuo eating tea leisurely, and suddenly the anger only went up, and he yelled at her!

Gu Jialuo didn't lift his eyelids, and continued to take small sips of tea.

Well, this tea is good, the best Yunnan red, the tea soup is mellow, the stomach is warm when you drink it, and it is suitable for drinking in late winter and early spring.

Later, I'll pack some and send them to Kyori, so that my grandmother, mother, and master can taste them.

As for the fire-breathing He Banxia in front of him, Gu Jialuo was full of annoyance.

She never knew that there was such an unreasonable person as He Banxia in the world. In other words, the truth of the whole world is her He Banxia alone.

What is the rationale for this?

Obviously, it was Gu Jialuo who rescued He Banxia from the Iron Threshold Nunnery and gave her a new life.

As a result, instead of being grateful, people blamed Gu Jialuo for being too slow and couldn't rescue her in the first place!

Slow? Slow down, your sister's slow!

Gu Jialuo wanted to help quickly, but the problem was that Miss Yang Qi Yang Qi, who He Banxia had designated to get her out, was not in the capital at all at that time.

Gu Jialuo just wanted to send the letter, but no one received it, right?!

As soon as Yang Qi returned to the capital, Gu Jialuo quickly ordered someone to deliver the letter, and then He Banxia was released, in all fairness, this speed was enough.

But He Banxia didn't care about this, she only remembered one thing: Gu Jialuo accepted her He Banxia's medical book, but didn't rescue her in time, he was a villain who didn't keep his promise!

it!

In the face of such a ruthless, shameless, and vexatious strange thing, the heart is not enough to calm Gu Jialuo's depressed heart.

Not to mention, He Banxia is not good.

She is actually the master who discovered another effect of Yingsu and boiled it into 'Xiaoyao Pill' and 'Immortal Ointment'!

Bullshit, this is clearly a harmful demon!

After Gu Jialuo learned this, he became more and more unkind to He Banxia.

Therefore, Gu Jialuo did not have half a point of preferential treatment for the 'master' admired by Ah Zhuo, so he casually cleaned up a guest room in the back office, arranged a rough maid who was not equal, and then left He Banxia there and ignored it.

He Banxia didn't make any trouble, but endured the New Year all the way, survived the remnant winter, and saw that spring had arrived, and it was time for spring ploughing, but Gu Jialuo didn't make any movement, He Banxia finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly ran to question.

"Presumptuous, our family is the edict of the imperial court, you are a little woman, you don't say anything when you see my family, you dare to speak ill of me, and your attitude is so bad, do you still have laws and rules in your eyes?"

As the master's personal maid, it is the minimum duty to help the master teach the villains who don't understand the rules. After Ziwei received Gu Jialuo's hint, she scolded coldly.

He Banxia's swearing words choked in her throat, she was stunned, and immediately reacted, her face turned red, and her body trembled slightly because of anger.

She, the eldest lady of the He family, was actually reprimanded by a.

But soon, He Banxia woke up again, no, now is not the time to lose her temper, Gu Jialuo has not fallen into her trap, if she angers Gu Jialuo, she will just stop, won't she give up her previous efforts?

Taking a deep breath, He Banxia suppressed all the anger in his heart, bent his knees unwillingly, and made a blessing not very sincerely: "What Miss Ziwei said is that it is all bad for the people's women, and the people's women are dizzy and forget the rules, which is why they offend Yiren." There are a lot of pleasant people, please forgive me! ”

In the end, the word 'forgiveness' almost squeezed out of her teeth, showing her reluctance.

Gu Jialuo didn't seem to notice, put down the tea bowl gently, and raised his eyes to look at He Banxia.

He Banxia continued to maintain a squatting posture, his legs trembling slightly, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Gu Jialuo was satisfied, and then said softly: "Doctor He is exempt, Ziwei, give Doctor He a seat." ”

Facing He Banxia, Gu Jialuo couldn't call him such a fleshy title as 'master'.

Ziwei knew her master's intentions very well, and out of nowhere, she found a dilapidated Mazha and put it beside He Banxia.

You must know that even if a slave like Mother Qu comes to salute, Ziwei will thoughtfully move a drum pier.

Mazha or something, I really can't go to the main hall.

But she just got such a thing for He Banxia, which is full of ridicule and contempt!

He Banxia glanced at the unbearable Mazha and felt insulted, but when he thought of her and Yao's plans, he endured it again.

"Yiren is too polite, the woman will leave after saying a few words, so she doesn't have to sit down,"

He Banxia gritted his teeth and tried his best to persuade himself not to be angry, and after a while, he calmed down and asked slowly: "Winter has gone to spring, and the people outside the city have begun to actively prepare for spring ploughing. ”

Gu Jialuo sighed, but did not speak.

"The Beijing Chinese medicine shop has long been out of stock, and the two pills of 'Xiaoyao Pill' and 'Immortal Cream' have been speculated to sky-high prices, and they can't be bought with money...... All of them are waiting for the southwest to send the warbler and corn fruit over. ”

"If Yiren is not at ease, the woman can pay half of the money in advance, and after the warbler corn fruit is harvested, she will pay the remaining half."

Seeing Gu Jialuo's hesitant appearance, He Banxia persuaded violently, reasoning with facts, and luring, and holding a lotus flower with a tongue, and Ziwei who was standing on the side was a little moved.

Gu Jialuo still looked like that, wanting to agree but not at ease.

He Banxia had no choice but to use a killer move, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket, and slapped them directly in front of Gu Jialuo's eyes, "This is 20,000 taels of silver tickets, after the matter is completed, I will give you another 20,000 taels." ”

10,000 catties of warbler millet fruit, 40,000 taels of silver, in Daqi, it is definitely a sky-high price.

This is dozens of times more profitable than growing grain, vegetables, or something.

Gu Jialuo finally relented, but the words he said made He Banxia even more angry: "Doctor He is too anxious, in fact, what I want to say is that I have already ordered people to circle the mountains and forests and wasteland, and now I have also begun to recruit farmers to work, and the ploughing oxen, plowshares and other things have already been prepared, and when the season comes, you can start planting." ”

Burst!

He Banxia really wants to vomit blood, why didn't you say it earlier when you were ready? But you want to let the old lady spend so much lip service?!

It's disgusting to have paid half of the money in advance!

He Banxia saluted stiffly, walked out with a gloomy face, and when he returned to the house, he turned out a small puppet, gritted his teeth and pierced a silver needle on the puppet.

And on the puppet's forehead is a note with the words Gu Shi Jialuo, the eighth day of the fourth month and so on.

Gu Jialuo didn't know that she had been stabbed by someone, and at this moment she was looking at Qi Jinzhi with joy: "Uncle, this—this is—"

Qi Jinzhi smiled slightly, pointed to a bowl of crystal clear salt in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's done, Zhuo Tube Well is really useful, our Qi family has salt!" ”
