Liu Pan came back quickly, and as the head of a group of dock workers, he was still very authoritative in the hearts of the other twenty-two people.

said that he met a noble man and wanted to support Gui'er for a good deal, and twenty-two people gave up the rest of their work, including the money they should have earned before, and came with him.

Each man wore a garment of fine linen, with a large patch on his shoulders, and sewed it with cotton cloth, not to see that it was not to be patched after it was worn out, but to add an extra piece of cloth before.

This dress, first of all, reflects that the people of Datang have a good life, they used to be all bare-chested, and when they carried things, they put a sack piece, and the debris on the sack floated down, stuck by the sweat on their bodies, itchy and prone to allergies.

Gui'er's jelly is no longer sold to the outside world, and when others finish eating a little bit in their hands, they will take the bowl and take it home.

There is a group of old men here, and her car naturally does not need to be pushed by herself.

Everyone left from the wharf, walked out for two quarters of an hour, and entered a residential area far away from the main street, at this time the residential area has a courtyard, regardless of the size, must be fenced out of a place, in which some vegetables are usually eaten, almost every family has set aside a place to pick green onions, so there is no need to buy again.

Gui'er's courtyard also keeps four chickens, one male and three female, whose wings are cut short so that they do not fly over the low fence around the vegetable field to eat the leaves.

Two rooms, there is a barn on the side of the side, the windows of the main house are pasted with paper, the house is built with mud and grass, the walls are plastered with trowels, which is calendered, and the herringbone frame is exposed by rafters, and the top is green tiles. Judging from the situation, this year is a tile that has just been crossed, and someone has added a 'hat' to the chimney.

Look at the nearby yards around the right, it's also good.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are very relieved that this part of Yizhou City is a slum area, and many people who have a good life when they come here show that the overall quality of life of the people is improving.

For a long time I hadn't heard of someone being starved to death, unless he stayed at home and didn't go out, and when he was hungry, he didn't know what to do with someone else's stutter, or to find the local government. Otherwise, you will naturally eat.

In terms of the relief of the people, there is no separate department, which is directly assigned to the yamen, and if there is a problem, it is directly approached to the yamen, so as to avoid the situation of too many external departments going back and forth.

Gui'er is a woman with two children, and it is impossible for her to run the tiles, and the tiles of the two houses, with her as a woman, need to work for at least five days, in case her feet slip. If you fall, you should increase the medical expenses of the imperial court, even if the medical treatment is free. You can't play with your life.

"Little brother, come in and take a break." Gui'er ignored the twenty-three dock workers, but was very enthusiastic about Zhang Xiaobao, and this enthusiasm carried a sense of distance.

Zhang Xiaobao walked in with Wang Juan, Gui'er went to make tea, and some people went to the well in this place to carry water.

Zhang Xiaobao saw that what people took out was black tea. When I was worried, I can understand when I think about it, the local tea must be fermented, and it has been like this for many years, otherwise Pu'er tea would not be so famous.

Buy it for people who live in the grassland area, and people prefer fermented tea, green tea. The effect is almost bad for cleaning the stomach, and the tea leaves of the real tea horse are not picked and specially made into black tea, but the tea leaves are fermented in the wind and rain during the transportation process. Walking for half a year, going to the local trade, black tea, is magical.

"Sister-in-law Gui'er, you don't need to make tea, Xiaoyu and I can just drink some water, the tea is too hot, and drinking it won't quench your thirst." Wang Juan stopped Gui'er and said a lame reason.

"It's because you're not used to drinking local tea, right?" Gui'er asked bluntly, and said: "The family is busy, they have always come over, so they haven't prepared other tea, wait a minute, I'll buy it." ”

Wang Juan grabbed the other party's arm: "No, no, we are here to discuss the deal, there is no shortage of tea to drink, and it costs money to buy tea." ”

"I don't have much money, you look like I live in a different place, but the rì is not bad, the money for raising children is saved, the two babies have a school to manage, the big girl studies well, not as naughty as the little cub, the school awards a lot of candles, and there is no need to add flowers to the home at night.

In the past, if outsiders came, I was embarrassed, I always felt that my family was poor, but now I am not afraid, I have clothes and meat to eat, and it is no problem to entertain a meal and drink.

What about me, I'm not afraid of your jokes, sister, one person, pulling two children, the yamen gives a lot of benefits, the house is a year on the tile, said no, the officials have to come, no one's house can compare, there is usually a New Year's Festival, the yamen also sends vegetable oil and rice noodles, the cut meat is all thick oil, and the little ones don't like to eat. ”

Gui'er no longer went to buy tea, and also pulled Wang Juan to nag, her face was full of happiness, but she would occasionally glance at Liu Pan, obviously life was good, and she also had pursuits.

Wang Juan listened to the words, his heart was sweeter than eating honey, everything in front of him was strongly promoted by her and Xiaobao, free medical care, free education, extra care for special groups, there was no resistance when it was implemented, it was not that others did not want to, but did not dare, when it was implemented, it can be said that one hand raised a knife, one hand handed a signature pen, and the knife fell without the pen, without the slightest room for negotiation.

The imperial court pays a lot of money for this every year, but it does not need to pay too much for disaster relief, most of it is borne by itself and Xiaobao, just like the big family that once controlled the political economy of a country.

Therefore, when they get power, they need to bear a large part of their obligations, and they also have to fulfill the ideal of developing China by the two of themselves.

Therefore, the people's rì is better, with a share of their own merits, praise in front of the face, it is better to experience it from the side of the people's life.

"Sister-in-law Gui'er, do the children want to eat lean meat? In fact, it is better to eat two more bites of fish, children like to eat fatty meat when they are young, it is fat and chewy, and it can also provide what the body needs. ”

Wang Juan gave an idea to let people eat fish, as for whether people like to eat it, this is not a problem, Xiaobei and they have begun to ask for children's newspapers.

Gui'er nodded, patted Wang Juan's hand, and said, "It's still a sister who knows a lot, her hands are tender, and she knows at a glance that she is a baby from a rich family." Didn't suffer much. ”

Wang Juan was speechless, I didn't suffer much? Who of you knows the pressure that Xiaobao and I are under? Although food and clothing are the best, people's happiness is not measured in this way. When the road to the realization of the ideal is extended, walking on it is frightening step by step, and the demand is not just food, clothing and shelter.

"I went back and asked someone to send some cosmetics to my sister-in-law, but in fact, my sister-in-law didn't need to make up much, she just felt that she had something to do." Wang Juan touched Gui'er's hand, it was really rough, what are you doing. It has to be.

"Sister-in-law can't ask for sister-in-law's things, sister-in-law also has to spend money to buy it, give it to sister-in-law, sister-in-law's heart is not happy, and when sister-in-law has time, she will buy it herself, and sister-in-law will also buy it herself?" Gui'er glanced at Liu Pan, who was standing there, and said.

Wang Juan understood, shook his head and smiled: "How can a woman buy cosmetics by herself?" It's not my uncompetitive husband who gives it away, and there are a bunch of things that don't need it. I don't need it. ”

Zhang Xiaobao cooperated very wisely: "It should be." It should be, whether it is used or not, it has nothing to do with whether I send it or not, it is the reality that it is not used, whether it is sent or not is a good attitude, and a man who does not add new clothes and cosmetics to a woman is not a good man. ”

Liu Pan, who was standing not far away and listening to the words, blushed, rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said, "I...... I'll go out for a bit. ”

After saying that, he wanted to leave, but Zhang Xiaobao stopped him: "Brother Liu." Don't be in a hurry, it's important to discuss the right thing. ”

Then he lowered his voice: "My cosmetics with internal prices, when the time comes, give a few sets to my eldest brother, it's not cost-effective to buy them now." ”

"How do you calculate the internal price?" Liu Pan also asked in a low voice.

"It's the price sold to the cosmetics management, for example, the most expensive whale oil moisturizing skin care series beauty set, which is normally sold at 760 yuan, and there is no market. The price is marked, but it is not available. The internal price is cheap, 300 wen a set. ”

Zhang Xiaobao explained.

Liu Pan's eyes were about to pop out: "Brother, don't lie to your brother." Is 300 wen enough to cost? It's not like my brother doesn't understand anything. ”

"You really don't understand." Zhang Xiaobao blinked, with a very understanding expression, and said in his heart, do you know how much it costs, a whale has a lot of oil, and the boat protecting the sea caught it by the way.

But you can't say that, but say: "The cost is not equal to the internal price, and how much the cost has anything to do with the internal price?" For example, if you have a cold, it doesn't cost you anything to go to the clinic to see and grab medicine, so doesn't medicine cost anything?

For example, if you go to another place, you are penniless, you are hungry, you go to the local yamen, and people invite you to eat your braised pork, plus two taels of wine, steamed bread and rice, do you want money? No cost? ”

"Is there any wine?" Liu Pan was really real, and he directly thought of the free catering provided by the yamen for outsiders.

"Look at the situation, there is absolutely no hot day, if it catches up with the rain and gets wet, not only wine, but maybe it is also wine soaked in ginseng, in the past two years, there are more artificial ginseng, which yamen has prepared a lot. What do I mean, big brother, do you know clearly? The internal price should be lower than the cost. ”

Zhang Xiaobao finally explained the matter, there was a piece of wood on the other side, no wonder he had been guarding Gui'er so hard that he couldn't go further.

Liu Pan thought that more than 700 cosmetics could be bought for 300 yuan, and he was finally tempted, but he still hesitated and asked: "Little Brother Zhang, how can you let me repay you?" ”

Zhang Xiaobao patted Liu Pan on the shoulder: "Live well, be diligent and enterprising, be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and abide by the law and etiquette, which is the best reward for me." ”

"That's what I've always thought and done." Liu Pan didn't understand what he did and what he had to do with repaying the other party.

"Very good, I've been rewarded, come with water, wash, and talk about things in a while." As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he saw someone carrying four large wooden buckets of water in, and beckoned Liu Pan to come over.

Wang Juan was talking to Gui'er: "Sister-in-law, you should raise a few more chickens, I didn't go to see the backyard, the front yard is already big enough, and it is enough to raise twenty chickens, so if you can't do it, tie a rope between the two legs, so that the chickens can't take too big a step and can't eat the vegetables in the field."

Think about it, twenty-three hens, two, no, one rooster is enough, and you don't need to hatch the chicks with eggs, just eat one egg, the rooster guards the hen, usually crowing or something, no problem. ”

Gui'er was very surprised, looked down at Wang Juan's hand, looked at the size of the yard, looked at one male and three females and four chickens that were not afraid of people, and asked in surprise: "Big sister, do you still know how to raise chickens?" Your family is not a rich family. Raised before. I raised six hens and didn't lay eggs, but finally one of them was still soft, how could there be eggs to eat. ”

Wang Juan didn't explain why Fugui raised chickens, and said to Gui'er: "Sister-in-law, it's easy to solve the problem of chickens not laying eggs and soft eggs, there are river snails and shells by the nearby river, you take a rake to rake a basket back, give it to the chickens, and the chickens will eat the meat inside." You crush the shell with a mill, preferably in the form of small pellets, and scatter it on the ground, and the hen will eat it herself.

It not only supplements the nutrition of the chickens, but also supplements the calcium, when the eggs are one after another, twenty-three hens, at least twenty eggs can provide you with at least twenty eggs a day, and my chickens can sometimes lay five eggs in four days. Occasionally, but to say four eggs in five days. Absolutely. ”

Gui'er was tempted, either saying that the rich and noble have great skills, and they normally have four eggs in five days, whether they sell them or keep them for themselves, or make salted eggs.

"Sister, what do chickens eat when you raise them at home?"

"Uh~ Sister-in-law, you are not suitable for that method, a little less is fine, such as two eggs in three days, my chickens. Eat fish bone meal, earthworms, millet seeds, vegetable leaves, straw fermentation, usually stocking, when the sun is big, there is a shady place, there are heat preservation measures when the weather is cold, feed live water, and the fine particles of Maifan stone, chicken manure is cleared every day. The nest is moderately dry and wet, and the temperature is constant in the middle of the night.

Sister-in-law, you don't need this, the cost is too high, and my family's poultry breeding is mainly responsible for doing research for the imperial court. And the selection, in fact, can lay more eggs, but we need to add something else, we thought about it and gave up. ”

Wang Juan was embarrassed to elaborate in detail, if people were to be raised like this, the cost would be too high.

Gui'er said understandingly: "Then I usually feed some vegetable leaves and Qingke, and when the time comes, I will go to the river to carry a basket of things with shells, two in three days, a lot, who knew before, my sister-in-law helped my sister-in-law today." ”

Wang Juan listened but was not satisfied: "The government didn't tell you how to raise chickens?" What kind of bullshit yamen, eating rice one by one? ”

"Does the government have it?" Gui'er asked puzzled.

"Yes, there must be, things related to people's livelihood, the imperial court has invested money, the information is distributed for free, and in an important place like Yizhou City, there must be a special technician responsible for answering, it seems that they either have no printing materials and are greedy for ink, or they have not publicized it, and it is too unreasonable to turn around and clean them up."

Wang Juan said angrily, and then the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the people didn't know how to raise livestock and poultry, it was definitely the responsibility of the government.

Wang Juan was angry, but when he changed to Gui'er, he was shocked, looking at Wang Juan and trembling and asking: "You, can you manage it, can you manage the government?" ”

"Huh? The government should also be reasonable, right? We'll make money in two days, and we don't have to be busy like we are now, sister-in-law, you wait to get rich. ”

Wang Juan didn't say his identity, once he said it, he could no longer find the atmosphere of talking now, although others still looked very ordinary, but the thoughts in his heart must be different.

Gui'er was happy and confused, and asked, "Sister, how do you say to get rich?" ”

"Ask him." Wang Juan pointed at Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao turned his head: "Wait a while, everyone is busy, and start talking about the plan to make money, no loan, no need to find someone to invest, just twenty-four of you, each of you can make up some money." ”

As soon as he said this, the speed of the person who was still scooping water on his body suddenly became faster, and after a few strokes, he came over bare-chested, not caring whether his pants were soaked or not.

"Little brother, you say, let's listen, as long as we really come up with a good way, we will definitely support you in the future, and we will listen to whatever you say." Liu Pan stated.

"Let you rebel and you do the same?" Zhang Xiaobao asked with a smile.

Liu Pan was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said: "Brother, you are joking, we admit that you are very kind to make more money, but if you let the rebellion, it is impossible, it is a big deal that we will return the money we earned to you." If we really say that we want to rebel, we don't need the army and officials to send out, and the neighbors around us tear us apart first.

Even if we do rebel and hide from our neighbors and the army, where are we going? Ran out, do we still have a home? We don't think Datang is bad, the current rì is good, the emperor is reasonable, Xiaobao and Juan Juan have been working hard to get more benefits for us.

We really rebelled, the first thing I'm sorry for is the two of them, brothers, people know enough, the same joke can't be made again, otherwise we will take it seriously, first arrest the two of you, send them to Bihai Yinsha Restaurant, and hand them over to Xiaobao and Juan Juan for treatment. ”

"That, look, Brother Liu, I'll just joke again, we let you have a lot of money all of a sudden, which is more beneficial than Xiaobao and Juan Juan give you, do you still think the two of them are good?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again.

Wang Juan glared at Zhang Xiaobao dissatisfiedly: "How to make money, what kind of little treasure Juan, do you want to listen to others praise?" ”

Zhang Xiaobao is very embarrassed, he really wants to listen to others praise a few words, and his mood will be better, who doesn't want to listen to good words, and he praises others in person when they don't know who you are.

Liu Pan waved his hand to Wang Juan at this time: "Brother and sister, Xiaobao and Juan Juan should be boasted, what good brothers and sisters, to be honest, if you want to say which place in Datang was affected by the disaster, many people died, I just followed the sadness, too far away from me, I can't help much, if you need to contribute, you can get some money out, but people can't be resurrected after death."

If I hear that Xiaobao and Juan Juan have an accident one day, I don't know who to cry with, then it's over, the whole Datang is over, don't mention that they have an accident, look at my mouth, they can't have an accident, even if they have a cold, as long as we know the news, they will follow the worry, good people, you have to live a long life. I'd rather I get sick and take it for them than ......"

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, come on, don't talk about that, they're fine, talk about trading, can everyone take out five yuan each?" Zhang Xiaobao's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly interrupted Liu Pan's words.

Wang Juan also lowered his head and blinked vigorously, what else do you want when you are an official? In the future, the evaluation of officials should let the people vote, and whether you do well or not, the people feel it the most. Has the income from food increased during your tenure? Is the welfare of the people stable? Has the living environment improved? That's the most important thing.

As for why you cry when you encounter a disaster for the people, and then take big words and clichés, keep guaranteeing this and that, like an actor, maybe you can deceive some people before, saying that you are cute, a baby or something, but the social environment is getting worse and worse, then are you embarrassed to be a big official in the two worlds?

You may say that you have a lot of helplessness, for example, you can't control the military power during the disaster relief, so you have to shout loudly, who raised you like this, you are not the number one, you are suppressed, then you can't take the initiative to go down yourself, what are you doing in a position?

Wang Juan began to be angry again, thinking about it, and suddenly found that everyone Xiaobao didn't criticize it, why bother, alas, they are all from the same class, so why be in a hurry.

Shaking his head, he wanted to throw out the bad thoughts in his mind, looked at Xiaobao, and waited for him to play his role again, whenever this time, he always made himself feel the most comfortable moment, the kind of understatement of economic operation, just like ink painting, every time, Xiaobao is always very handsome.
