Erya took the old man who raised silkworms, the adult silkworms collected by the old man, and the leaves to be used on the road, and went straight to the forest of Qujiaao.

Fortunately, the silkworm is not as delicate as the mulberry silkworm, and it is not good to keep it in the dark room and talk loudly. And the bumps in the road of the silkworm are still alive and well, and they have not died until they have formed cocoons in the forest.

Erya put the master in everyone's new home, and asked Peng Yunjiang's daughter-in-law to help settle down, and he returned to Fucheng without stopping. As soon as he entered the prefect's mansion, Wen Chao, Qingzhu, and Wen Yue all surrounded him and shouted. After pacifying the three little ones who had grown up, he began to listen to them tell strange stories.

"Mother! Uncle almost had an accident! ”

Er Ya was shocked, how could more than 100 people protect him? "What's going on?"

Unlike Wen Yue, who has no head and no brains, Wen Chao slowly told his mother the ins and outs: "Don't listen to my brother's surprise, my uncle is fine." is that there is a mother-in-law's daughter who wants to marry her uncle, and she wants to drug her uncle by taking the opportunity of visiting her mother in the house. However, the uncles who asked to take care of our house saw it and drove them out directly, and even the previous people in the house all called the uncle to send them back. ”

Er Ya still heard this in a daze, and didn't know the real details from Xiaohu until the evening. After they went to the capital, Xiaolong had to continue to deal with a lot of things in the Yamen. After dealing with those mountain bandits and the mountain bandits who are hidden among ordinary wealthy merchants, rich people, and ordinary people, as well as some people in collusion with the government, it is necessary to start the work of dealing with the aftermath.

The first is to count the seized goods and confiscated property, and record them in the accounts of the households. After the registration is clear and there are no missing. Let's start with the meritorious work and reward.

Of the 500 soldiers, more than 20 were associated with the mountain bandits, and all of them were imprisoned. Not all of the remaining 470 or so government soldiers obeyed the deployment of the new prefect. No matter who the relationship is, there are almost 80 people who do not listen to the deployment at one time, and about 200 people who do not obey the deployment every time. These government soldiers didn't listen to the deployment, and Xiaolong didn't care about that. If you are called, you will not be punished if you do not go, but you will make a mark in the book. At that time, those government soldiers didn't care about the small book, and thought that the prefect couldn't do anything about them, that is, they were all quite proud.

Until this day, there were several boxes of silver ingots in the large square where the soldiers usually trained, and the people in the household sat in front of a long row of cases on the left with account books. The prefect's entourage sat next to the account room with a small notebook. The prefect sat in the middle, and on his right were silver ingots and a row of guards with weapons, as well as two men ready to issue silver.

Those who did not listen to the blend began to be enlightened. I secretly thought that I might lose a lot this time.

I really didn't have a hunch wrong! Indeed, they have lost a lot. Whoever obeys the prefect's allocation on every trip, a reward of one hundred taels of silver for one trip. I didn't listen to the first trip, but I listened to it all the next trips, and the reward for a trip was ninety taels of silver. And so on. Based on a hundred taels of silver, listen to it less once and less than ten taels.

There's another weirdness. The first trip listened, and the next few trips did not listen, then a trip only ten taels of rewards, the first and second trips listened to thirty taels, followed by ten taels of silver as the basis plus one more than ten taels, many people do not understand why the contrast is so big? But the prefect doesn't speak or explain, so if you want it, you can take it or not.

Of course, there is no one who has not listened to the deployment once, and today is to call you to come and enjoy it!

After rewarding the soldiers, the boys who came to the king's house. The boy of the Wang family went up the mountain to fight with the mountain bandits before, and then followed Xiaohu to capture the people of Western Xinjiang. So their reward was much higher than that of the soldiers who were not in danger: five thousand each. An additional 2,000 taels will be given to the wounded for medical expenses and nutrition.

In the end, there are the spies who are in the world, they have the greatest credit, and the successful suppression of bandits without casualties in the next few games is all the miraculous effect they get by taking their lives to deal with the mountain bandits. Therefore each of them was rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver.

All the rewards were all distributed, and a total of more than 100,000 yuan was spent, which was nothing compared to the receipt of several millions, and the master book in charge of the money and grain could still smile and look at some of the people who got the bounty and rejoiced. The commander of the army was frosty, and although he was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, he knew that he no longer had any soldiers in his hands who could be loyal to him. He Tongzhi looked at the soldiers who didn't get a penny and gritted their teeth with a thoughtful expression. It's not that he's afraid that these people will retaliate against the prefect when the time comes, just the current prefect's methods let him see that ordinary people really can't defeat him. He was just full of admiration for the high tricks of the Wang Governor's Mansion, and for a few hundred taels of silver, he beat these thorns down. If there is anything going on next time, I'm afraid that these people will beg the prefect to send them, right?!

Gee! It's good to be rich!

After talking about the reward, let's talk about the reason why that kind of thing happened in the house. Didn't there be a few mothers-in-law and slaves sent by other officials in the house! One of these mothers-in-law is a flexible mind, and she heard that these boys from the prefect's family had thousands of taels of silver at once, and they were all orphans without parents, and many of them had not yet married. It's not too good for such a boy to be his son-in-law! So he took advantage of the moment when he went out to buy things, turned a corner, and went back to ask his daughter to dress up and come over to visit her, and let those boys see it by the way. So many children who have not yet married don't believe that they can't look down on their daughters, as long as one of them falls in love, their own family will also climb into a good family.

To tell the truth, this mother-in-law's idea is really good, and it would be a good thing if her daughter had the same mind as her. It's a pity that her girl's heart is too big. came over and saw the young and handsome prefect up close, and I couldn't control it even if I wanted to.

This girl came two more times, but after failing to attract the attention of the prefect, she stopped taking the right path and wanted to think crookedly.

This girl is actually lucky, and some of these boys really like her. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, even if they are not beautiful, still have the charm of youth! What's more, this girl is not bad-looking, otherwise she would not have the confidence to attract the prefect.

As soon as she entered the house, she had to enter the house. There will be several boys who like her who follow her intentionally or unintentionally, and of course, there are also secret guards in the shadows to protect the safety of the house are also staring at her. As soon as she took out the medicine and put it into the big bone broth that the prefect usually likes to drink, she was immediately discovered by at least three or four people. There is really no suspense.

Needless to say, the slaves who were sent back hated the mother and daughter to death. The past few months in the prefect's house have been the best period of their lives. Some of the hard work is basically done by those boys, they do easy work, eat and drink like big guys, two meats, two vegetables and one soup, big white rice, white flour steamed buns are as full as they are. A month's worth of silver is 800 wen, and two sets of work clothes are given every quarter. There are also two muslin shirts that are commonly worn at home. In the prefect's house, I don't feel like an inferior slave at all! What a pity! They still didn't have that good fate, they didn't expect the good days to end so soon. I still feel that I am still enjoying happiness in the prefect's house in my dreams!

This is the reason why Erya is reluctant to keep a young slave at home, but fortunately, the secret guard she arranged is powerful. In addition, there are many children, if ordinary children are officials here, then this thing will be unpredictable. If someone succeeds, a lifetime of official career will be ruined. Since Xiaolong handles this matter with the usual careful thinking of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix. Then she won't pursue any conspiracy theories after the fact. But. This made her more careful in arranging people to protect Xiaolong and her own three boys.

After chatting about the affairs of the house, Erya talked about the cultivation of wasteland: "When I came, I saw that the land was green and growing very well, and your credit was not small!" ”

Xiaohu smiled: "What credit do I have?" They have all done the ground, the potato sprouts are also planted according to the method you said, and the ditch is repaired by two adults in the workshop. When I came back, I just went back and forth, and I didn't bother anything. If I had to say that it was my fault, I would have blushed! ”

Er Yale smiled: "If you blush, you will blush!" What else can you scare me? Did you ask Wen Chao. What is the big loss of my family in this snowstorm? ”

"As soon as he came, I asked! Wen Chao said that the news came back from various places. Didn't say anything to lose. The fish that were frozen to death in Liujialing were all packed up and drowned into salted fish and sent over, and the livestock only had a few lambs that were less than half a month old, and they got out of the fence and froze to death in the snow nest, and there were no other dead or injured. It is said that instead of freezing to death from frostbite, a group of wheat grew very well, and it is estimated that in a few days it will be possible to know whether there will be a bumper harvest. ”

"Where's the reed?" Although Erya said that she believed that Zhu Changming would arrange it, there was no definite news, and she still couldn't be sure.

"Those flowers are okay too! It was still right for Xiaolong to plant all those flowers in pots at the beginning, when the snow had not stopped for two days. Zhu Changming asked the families in the surrounding villages to help move all the potted flowers to their house, and waited for the snow to stop before moving back. A pot of flowers comes and goes, and the nearest place gives five cents for hardship, and the farthest place gives ten cents for hardship. However, when Zhu Changming was going to settle the bill with them later, everyone didn't want to live or die, so Zhu Changming made the decision and sent two catties of beef and ten catties of apples to each family. ”

Erya can understand the meaning of Zhu Changming's sending beef and apples, a beef, although the government allows Erya to raise beef cattle to sell meat, but the additional tax per cow is quite high. Therefore, the price of beef is not only high, but also the low slaughter amount, and the takeaway of beef is even lower, and ordinary people still can't buy it if they have money. Therefore, beef is still a precious and rare food in the local area, and it is quite a face-saving thing for anyone to have beef to entertain guests. People don't have to work hard, Zhu Changming will give beef, which can be regarded as giving these villagers a hard time.

Another apple, although it is a precious thing in the eyes of others, is not considered in Erya's house. Her family has an apple orchard, and although she will spend a large part of the cost on keeping it fresh, she can recoup it by increasing the selling price several times. Therefore, for Erya, these villagers have more than these losses for ten catties of apples. But it allows the children of these villagers to eat the fruits that adults are not willing to buy back, and also repays the children's love for holding flower pots with adults on snowy days.

Not to mention, Zhu Changming is a smart and shrewd person, if Erya herself may not be able to think so thoughtfully, that is, people can only appreciate the intentions and benefits of her after doing it. (To be continued.) )
