"Caiyi, undress me!"

"Caiyi, give me a leg beat!"

"Caiyi, pinch my back!"

"Caiyi, let me see how you're developing!"

Lu Yuan, who was the new official, spent another penny of silver to requisition Zhou Gou'er to clean up his yamen after burning three fires, and spent three coins of silver to collect some tiles from other military households to patch up the roofs of the north and back rooms of the inner courtyard, barely sheltering from the wind and rain and sleeping people.

But as soon as Lu Yuan had a closed space, the essence was revealed, and he began to prepare unspoken colored clothes.

Of course, this is not an unspoken rule, after all, it is now a feudal society, Caiyi is a person in Lu Yuan's house, and any behavior of Lu Yuan to Caiyi is in line with the ethics and morality of this Confucian era.

Lu Yuan shouted for a long time, but found that Caiyi was not there, so he knew that Caiyi must still be in a department store that had been temporarily converted from the back room.

Thereupon.

Lu Yuan rushed over, and sure enough, he saw that Caiyi was still selling grain.

Although it was late at night, the military households in Qingquan Village were still lining up in front of the fence of the department store to buy food.

Zhou Gou'er also bought a bag of grain at this time and came back, but saw her mother waiting outside, so she ran to her mother crying: "Mother, we have food, we finally don't have to starve!" ”

Zhou Gou'er took out a handful and handed it to his mother: "Mother, look at it!" ”

Zhou Gou'er's mother looked at the plump grains of wheat, and was even happier than when she saw the silver a few days ago, and her toothless mouth only kept shaking: "There is food, finally there is food, if your sister is still there, she will not leave, the new official is really a good official, dog, you will remember the official kowtow when you see the official in the future!" ”

"Well, I see, mother".

Zhou Gou'er nodded.

Lu Yuan looked at the appearance of these military households outside who were either shouting happily or crying excitedly, and only smiled slightly.

……

"Brother, the chief flag officer of Shuiyang Village wants to see you, and I asked him to wait for you in the front hall."

Uncle Fei walked over at this time and said.

"What did he do when he came to me?"

Lu Yuan felt a little strange, but he still came to the front hall.

As soon as Shang Yongxin arrived at the front hall, he hurriedly saluted Lu Yuan: "Brother Lu is really good at managing the army, in less than half a decade, the entire Qingquan Village has a new look, which really makes the foolish brother admire." ”

"The general banner of Shang has won the award, and Lu is just doing a little bit for the people."

Lu Yuan also said modestly.

"Brother Lu is also humble, which really makes the foolish brother respectful, but although Brother Lu intends to benefit the people, he can't cut off the wealth of me and Luan Qianhu."

Shang Yongxin's words changed, although he was still smiling, but there was obviously an unkind tone in his tone.

The air in the whole room seemed to be chilling.

"What does the General Banner mean?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Brother Lu still doesn't understand, you are in Qingquan Village, Shang naturally has nothing to say, but you give your military households wages, you know that you Brother Lu is kind-hearted and treats these military households as people, not only giving them wages but also selling them grain at a low price, what you don't know is that you are buying people's hearts, and you intend to let those military households know that the benefits of your Qingquan Village have come to you, and they no longer feel at ease to do things for me and Luan Qianhu!"

Shang Yongxin said with a smile.

Lu Yuan understood that he dared to let the military households do things for himself through the paid system, which touched the interests of the officers of these military households.

But Lu Yuan knows that if you want to mobilize people's enthusiasm, you must respect the fruits of people's labor, and this is the case for doing business, and it is not the case for establishing your own basic plate.

If you don't treat your military household as a human being, even if you build advanced firearms in the future, you may not be able to defeat the Manchus, and even if you defeat the Manchus, there is not much difference from the Manchus.

Therefore, Lu Yuan did not plan to do this.

Lu Yuan only smiled and said: "Shang Zongqi's words are wrong, what do you do with your military households, where can I manage it, so it is even more nonsense for you to say that I cut off your financial route, and I ask your military households not to listen to you, and besides, do they listen to me?" ”

"Brother Lu, you!"

Shang Yongxin stood up suddenly, he didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so obsessed, and he understood what he said so clearly.

"Mr. Shang, if you really think that I am doing something inappropriate, you can go to Qianhu to sue me, I won't stop you, but I can't tell you about the matter of Qingquan Village, and I won't send it."

Lu Yuan put down the teacup as he spoke.

When Shang Yongxin saw Lu Yuan say this, he didn't want to say anything, so he couldn't bear to leave here angrily, and only snorted after Lu Yuan couldn't see himself: "Don't think that it's great that you know the deputy chief soldier!" ”

Lu Yuan naturally didn't take this Shang Yongxin to heart, and when he returned to the backyard, he saw that Caiyi was already in the house, and he laughed evilly for a while.

"Caiyi, come, come, let my uncle hug me."

Lu Yuan opened his hand.

Caiyi did not go to Lu Yuan's arms, but came behind Lu Yuan and took off Lu Yuan's robe.

Lu Yuan was bored, and he didn't say anything, just let Caiyi undress himself, beat his legs, and pinch his shoulders.

Then, Caiyi ran into the quilt by herself.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan thought that Caiyi was a stuffy gourd, and he didn't say anything about it, and he estimated that he was very active in action, so he hurriedly took off his clothes: "My good Caiyi, let my uncle ...... me"

"Uncle, don't drag your jacket yet, wait for the colorful clothes to warm you before coming in."

Caiyi said tremblingly, she thought that Lu Yuan was going to sleep in the quilt now.

"Eh, you're warming my bed, what, you don't have to be like this, let's warm it together, it's so warm."

Lu Yuan said that he was still ready to take off his jacket.

"No! Caiyi has to take care of your uncle, you can't let your aunt be cold, it's almost warm, uncle, you drink hot ginger tea first."

After Caiyi said this, she pouted at the table: "I've already burned it." ”

Lu Yuan didn't want to brush off Caiyi's kindness, so he had to pour himself a glass and drink it, and asked Caiyi: "Caiyi, how old are you?" ”

Caiyi replied: "Thirteen years old! ”

"It's only thirteen, have you had your first period?" Lu Yuan chuckled in his heart and asked again.

"Uncle, what is menarche? Is it a falling red, like Miss? Caiyi asked.

Lu Yuan nodded, listening to Caiyi's meaning, it should be that she has no relatives coming every month now, thinking that she might as well forget it, it is too inhumane to attack a young girl, although this Confucian ethics with strict etiquette does not stipulate that this is not allowed.

"Uncle, it's warm, you can come in."

Caiyi said a word at this time.

"Okay", Lu Yuan got in, but he was turned away from the side to Caiyi, and pulled the futon over a little: "Sleep, if it's cold, just hold my uncle and me tighter." ”

"Hmm", Caiyi obediently put her hand on Lu Yuan's waist and put her head over as well.

Lu Yuan could feel Caiyi's snort, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
