In addition to the slightly better situation of the Yang family in East Street, they are all small households or foreign merchants, all of whom sell oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, condiments, and have a small medical hall, which was opened by the Ning Bo family in the past, and is now taken over by the Peng family from Tianmen. The Li family's bamboo shop and lumber mill furniture store are large, but there are no people from the Li family, and they are all hired workers. The main force of the Li family returned to Lijiawan, where there was also a wharf. The courtyards of dozens of small families on West Street are actually well built, but because of the relationship between the sites of each family, there are scattered ones, and there is no order. It's all alleys, and it's a densely populated place. Many of them were eunuchs and scholars, who had a source of income from outside, and also had their own farmland in the countryside, either for tenant farmers or for long-term labor.

The main population of Yunlong Town is concentrated here, also called Baimin Lane. There are more than ten miles of road in a mess. Thousands of people live here.

But if you want to find out a whole street, that's impossible.

West Street used to be the territory of the Li family and the Wang family. The Wang family mainly walked along the Yunlong River, and their main home had a Wang family set in the upper reaches of the Yunlong River. Only a small number of them are in Yunlong Town. The Wang family is a larger surname than the Li family. It's just that the main house is no longer here.

The Li family's wharf, also called the West Wharf, is embedded in the Wang family's territory and cannot be developed. However, they built a new school, a textile factory, a trough mill and a press house in Da Lijiawan. They have all come up in recent years, and you can see the pattern of Zhangjiabao at a glance. Although the old man of the Li family is old, his ambition is undiminished.

The new school in Yunlong Town is on the side of the residential area next to West Street, and it was newly funded by several nearby companies who jointly donated land. A small courtyard surrounded by four rows of classrooms. After Gu Ming left, he was the teacher of the private school of each family. Like private schools, students and families pay for them. The people who come here to study are the children of various families. It's not a poor man's child, it's a commoner's child. Because the children of the real rich families and the eunuchs have hired special gentlemen to teach themselves.

There are more than 100 students here, and the standard Mengxue Hall. It is also divided into three grades, and after three years, after passing the exam, most of them are transferred to the county school to study. This is the junction of three counties, and Jingmen and Tianmen are not far from here, so most of them go where to study. On the contrary, the least number of people go to Jingshan.

Zhang Chun has been to Yunlong Town a few times, so he has a general impression of the town.

But he's now tossing around in the yamen.

There is everything in the yamen, but there is no canteen, and in the past, it may have been sent by maids to their respective rooms to eat. The front yard may be back to your own house for dinner. Gu Ming did have his own kitchen in the small courtyard where he lived, but Yuan Fang still had to deal with the affairs of the academy and did not come.

Zhang Chun asked a few men who came with the boat to tear down the partition wall between the mother's house and the utility room next to the canteen, and used the removed wooden planks to close the roof into a ceiling. He also instructed Zhao Dinggang, who was training in the front yard, to buy a few tables and chairs and come back.

Obviously, Zhang Chun still followed the habit of eating together in Zhangjiabao.

The mother, the maid and the spring girl who cook live in the side room, because the spring girl is not a long-term residence, the three of them maintain a military style, and they collectively live in the relatively large lady boudoir. Instead, the mother and the two maids were separated into a separate room. Let the three of them be honestly afraid.

The main house in the backyard is very large, in addition to the house where the owner lives, there is also a room where the maid's mother lives, but it is all empty now. Zhang Chun didn't want to look for it. On the one hand, he didn't want to interfere with his life and Lizhen's life, on the other hand, Zhang Chun didn't expect to live in the yamen at all, and his home was not here.

At noon, a second boat came, this time bringing grain, and piled up a storehouse.

Smoke rose from the yamen, and it was time for lunch. The habits in this town are different, because they are used to eating two meals, and they don't eat at noon, and they have to continue to run errands. However, the soldiers at the gate of the yamen no longer let people in.

At lunchtime, the mother and the maid ate with everyone. Moreover, this Lord Zhang and Lord Gu were talking about things in the dining hall, and they did not hide everyone's meaning at all.

"Mother Yang, as well as Xiaomei and Xiaoju. When you enter the Zhang family, you have to be subject to the rules of the Zhang family. There is nothing in the Zhang family that is not inferior, you are responsible for our food problem, and the people take food as the sky. You are our heavens. So you're welcome. But there is one thing, you can give your opinion on what you say at home, but when you go outside, keep your mouth shut. Don't just talk about things at home. If anyone makes me hear the news, I will be dealt with by military law, and I will die. ”

was so frightened that Yang's mother almost fell to the ground.

But in fact, Lord Zhang, Miss Xiao, Master Gu, and the soldier head were just talking about some things that sounded like miscellaneous things to Mother Yang.

"The head of the card in the town and some commercial houses have come to report the arrival, and I think there are many inquiries." Gu Ming said with a smile while picking up vegetables. He also turned back to Yang's mother and said, "Yang's mother's craftsmanship is good, and the food is very delicious." ”

Li Zhen and Zhang Chun sat on the main seat, not at all like being a guest at the Yang family, looking like a wild girl: "Of course, maybe Mother Yang and they arranged to come into our house to listen to the news." ”

Mother Yang and Xiaoju were nothing, and Xiaomei was so frightened that both legs were shaking.

Zhang Chun knocked on Li's head: "Don't talk nonsense, look at Xiaomei scared." The sanitation in the town is not very good, and the sewage is turbulent, but the complexion of the pedestrians is okay, and it seems that the bandits have not come to harass them. ”

Gu Ming said with a smile: "In addition to the mountain people, there are also lake bandits in Yunlong Town, but they are all on the side of Zhou Lake, and Yunlong Town has no oil and water now, so it is not cost-effective." But it's hard to say later. ”

"Have the lake bandits harassed the town now?" As soon as Zhao Dinggang heard that there were bandits, he became energetic, and the eyes of the eight soldiers below all emitted a wolf-like light. He asked Xiao Ju next to him.

Xiao Ju lowered her head and pulled out the rice vigorously, obviously not thinking that she was asking herself, and subconsciously shook her head, but after reacting, she nodded again, and her smiling face was flushed. leaned vigorously towards Mother Yang.

"Oh." Eight soldiers laughed unscrupulously.

Xiaomei had the courage to say: "Yes, the little son of the Zhao family in Baimin Lane was tied up and paid a lot of silver to redeem it." ”

Zhao Dinggang just smiled, it seemed that he was thinking of a fight.

Zhang Chun smiled: "Don't be like a mess, you are now maintaining law and order in the town." The matter of inquiring about the news was handed over to Platoon Commander Zhang. "Zhang Chun refers to Chunya.

Chunya smiled and didn't speak. The two guards below were excited.

Chunya glared at them: "Are you guys very powerful?" ”

The two guards wilted.

Gu Ming smiled: "Tomorrow, Mr. Wang, Yuan Fang and a few of them will come over, they are busy during this time, and many things have not been touched, so I will take the opportunity of cleaning up the civil register this time to clear the house." By the way, arrange some stewards. Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be messed up. ”

Zhang Chun nodded: "It's time to rectify it, Sister-in-law Yuan came here to rectify Mengxue here." It would be best if Zhangjiabao's Mengxue could also be moved here, and Zhangjiabao would be better to become a professional agricultural school. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhao Dinggang frowned and said: "The Mengxue here is not as big as ours, and it is in the crowd, so we have to find a place to rebuild." ”

Zhao Dinggang is one of the soldiers recruited by Yunlong Town, and he is also the one with the fastest progress, otherwise he would not have been sent by Zhang Tian. He was familiar with Yunlong Town.

Mother Yang and the two little girls looked at these people in surprise, these people didn't look like officials, they looked very casual, they just chatted casually, and they seemed to have decided a lot of things. This is something that Yang's mother has not seen in decades.

However, Yang's mother and the two little girls were not allowed to go out, and Lizhi personally gave them illiteracy. This is undoubtedly not believing in them, and they are under house arrest in disguise.
