Chapter 165: Suspicion

The private kiln has settled down, but the town is in a hurry to return here in the spring, the snow is big for a while, and the work of the morning has passed.

She will bring half a pot of dumplings and two large buckets of sugar water, this amount will last for this day at most, although the official kiln has a prototype, but it can not be safely sheltered from the wind and rain, if it is blindly consumed there, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen.

She sat in the main hall and waited, Cai had been comforted by her and went to the room to rest, but Geng Rong and Liu Ren were not easy to fool, especially Geng Rong, who was a homeless person who fled together a year ago, and he was most sympathetic to the natural disaster, and he was only willing to wait here for news at the moment.

"Sister Chun, Brother Qi You and Brother Zhixing are smart, and they have the sugar water snacks you sent, I think the wind and snow will stop tomorrow at the latest, one day and one night will pass, and tomorrow I will find someone to go over to answer it together, don't be too anxious."

Chungui pulled the corners of his mouth, and responded to Geng Rong's persuasion. This stupid boy, natural disasters are no more avoidable than man-made disasters, no matter how smart Qi You is, but it is not as fast as this snow, there is no way to avoid it at all, the wind and snow will stop tomorrow, if there is something wrong in the middle, how can the two of them calculate. Freezing and snowy, there is no way to think about it, so I can only blindly beg not to run into any risks.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a hurry.

And after a while, I really saw the wind and snow getting smaller, and just when the three of them showed a little joy, there were suddenly a few taps at the door.

She looked startled, and was about to get up, but saw that Geng Rong had already run over, and before she even had time to put on her boots, she staggered and ran in the snow.

When I opened the door, it was not Qi You and Zhixing, a young man who looked like a family was wrapped in thick cotton clothes and was stomping his feet, and he didn't recognize Geng Rong when he saw him: "Ah Rong!" Hurry up and tell Yue Niangzi that the two adults have requisitioned our master's private kiln, and they want to settle those homeless people there, and there is firewood and charcoal fire in it! My lord took advantage of the snow to ask me to come over and spread the word, so that she didn't have to worry! ”

Geng Rong was stunned by this series of words, and only after reacting did he recognize the young man in front of him: "...... Are you from Master Hong's family? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I've got it! Before the snow fell, I went back first! ”

The kid hurriedly held up the umbrella and walked back one foot at a time, Geng Rong didn't dare to delay, immediately closed the door, and said as he ran back: "Sister Chun! There is a place to take refuge! The private kiln on the outskirts of the town was requisitioned by Brother Qi You! That place is safe without wind or rain! ”

He happily ran in and almost slipped his foot, but it was Yoo Ren who caught him.

The yard is not ridiculously big, the kid speaks loudly, Chungui naturally hears it clearly, requisitioned the private kiln, regardless of whether Qi You Zhixing called him to report the news or the landlord to comfort her, this is a great news!

The landlord has a very good relationship with the Guo family, and he is also a person of faith, the cave is spacious and tight, she has been there, naturally knows the benefits of this cave, and now I heard the boy who reported the news that the things in it are complete, how can this heart not settle down!

Just wait for the snow to stop!

She sat back in her place, and finally vomited out the few worries that were holding back her heart.

There is still a small half-moon of effort to celebrate the New Year, who would have thought that there would be such a difficulty.

Spring return is not a one-step character, and you will be prepared for danger in peace, not to mention in today's situation.

The crisis ahead has been postponed for the time being, but the problems associated with this crisis are not small.

Qi You and Zhixing used the name of collecting cave workers to ensure the livelihood of these displaced people, and as soon as the house collapsed, the settlement of the displaced people became a big problem, and it was almost the New Year, and the life of the two of them would not be easy in this small half month.

She can think of it, Qi You and Zhixing must also think of it, Chungui sighed, just wait until the two of them come back and ask about the plan......

She was right, after the group of people in the private kiln changed their jackets and trousers, Qi You and Zhixing put the question of how to settle on the table.

The house is naturally to be built, and there are more than 20 families here, that is, to build the simplest green tile house, to remove the wages of the workers, let alone a household to get nearly ten taels of silver, twenty households is more than two hundred taels of silver, this silver in exchange for a year ago is a huge amount of money, to this day, there are Yu Lu have the dividends from Kyoto, as well as the emperor's reward, for the two of them can be taken out at will, not to mention that they do not need their private accounts, and it is simple to report to the top by the government to allocate another amount.

Money is a trivial matter, and when the snow stops, even if the process on the cave side is stopped, it can be put on the agenda at any time. But when it came to this, the villagers were all reluctant.

"My lord, you gave us a way to live, and we are afraid that we will not be able to return it, so how can we stop the work in the cave and build a house, but it will not work!"

"Yes, sir! Let's not rush our house, let's build the cave first! ”

All the faces are so sincere, so that Qi You and Zhixing can't cry or laugh.

Zhixing shook his head: "Let me ask you, if you don't build a house, where will you live on this cold day?" ”

The crowd looked at each other, and one of the bold ones was eager to speak.

"But my lord, even if we start building a house all the time today, we don't have a place to live in these days when we build a house! It's better to go all out and wait for the cave to be built. ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the rest of the people began to echo it one by one, as if they had been able to make a clear move.

"Huh! That's right! We're going to drift for a while, so let's just drift for a longer time and not delay the big things in our county! ”

Knowing this, Qi You was helpless again, and Qi You simply pulled down his face:

"If you build a house as soon as possible, you will be able to settle down and go to the cave to work in peace, otherwise you will have no place to live, how can I believe that you can work together!"

"I don't need to mention this until the next year, as for the residence before the renovation is completed......"

Qi You paused and looked at Zhixing: "We will also find a suitable place for you to live." ”

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, although Qi You is not the one who is born with a majesty in his old age, but when he pulls down his face, it is still a little scary, not to mention who doesn't know in his heart, he is planning for them.

In addition to fear, he was even more moved.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Qi You and Zhixing also began to think about the temporary residence of these two dozen people.

The two counties are not big, and they are all terrain surrounded by several mountain villages in a town, and the destitute families are everywhere, and it is difficult for every family to have spare land to set aside for preparation, otherwise the county magistrate who was temporarily transferred before would not settle everyone to the outskirts of the town.

It's really hard right now.

The two of them thought about it carefully, and everyone didn't dare to disturb them much, so they only whispered and paid attention to their expressions.

After a moment of silence, Zhixing seemed to think of something, and turned his head to the crowd: "Otherwise, the government will pay a settlement fee and distribute your families to each household in the town one by one, and temporarily partner up for a while?" It just so happens that many people in the town are familiar faces from your childhood working in the caves, and they have been familiar with each other for more than a month! ”

Zhixing consciously thought about it, and didn't notice that the faces of the people in front of him were gradually uneasy.

He wanted to say something, but was immediately stopped by Qi You on the side.

Qi You turned his head and said: "Do you have other doubts, say them, don't hold them in your heart, it will be useless in the future." ”

A group of people hesitated for a moment, but the older one came out to speak.

"Your Excellency...... It stands to reason that we shouldn't shirk the kindness of adults, but we just ...... Many of the boys in this town don't have a good deal with us boys, and they rush to the door, just afraid of disturbing them and making them even more unhappy......"

"Not quite right?" The two were stunned: "In just one month, how did you have a disagreement?" ”

Looking back on the previous month, Zhixing didn't hear anything unpleasant happened in the cave!

Speaking of this, the old man was embarrassed to say any more, but the impatient young man seemed to be holding back his breath, and opened his mouth and said: "The adults don't know, many of the boys in the town are tired after not working for a few days, and they can't give up the lot of monthly money, and they feel that the work in the cave is too tiring, and they often complain about misery. ”

"It doesn't matter if we call ourselves, we still have to complain together, but we don't feel bitter, and we don't want to complain together, and those people say that we are hypocritical!"

came and went, and there were always some angry men who quarreled with them.

Listening to a few people talking about you and me one by one, Qi You's faces became more and more gloomy the more they listened.

In vain, they made more than a dozen inspections in vain, but they didn't find that there was trouble under their noses!

Qi You turned his head and glanced at a few officials sitting in another place, with a tense expression, and said in a somewhat stern voice: "There is such a thing, why don't you come to report it when you are on duty?" ”

Hearing this, several officials immediately lowered their heads and replied with uneasy expressions: "...... Back to my lord, this little fight, let's settle down after a few words in the past, thinking...... It's all a small thing to think about......"

"You say a few words and settle down, and as soon as you leave, you quarrel again, what's the use?! Small things are left unregulated, and sooner or later they become big things! At this time, it is still a small contradiction, let it go, and there will be a greater gap in the long run! ”

No one expected that a few noises would make the adults in front of them feel so angry, and even a group of homeless people didn't dare to squeak, but only hung their heads and suffered this anger with the officials.

Zhixing and Qi You are really angry, a cave, such a huge project, the workers affect each other's morale, not to mention, there are a few noisy, if there is a case, the efficiency is low, the matter is small, and the slightest accident is a big deal!

Seeing that everyone was silent, the two of them didn't say much.

"Do you remember the people you were arguing with? When the snow stops, go out and report it. ”

Several men nodded again and again: "Remember, remember!" ”

Qi You twisted his fingertips a few times, frowned, and said, "The matter of temporary residence is not mentioned for the time being, and at this moment, I can wait for the snow to stop." ”

Reluctant to pay a good salary, but always complaining about the tiredness of work, such a worker will have trouble sooner or later.

It was also because they had been too eager to summon the order, and they had not been assessed, that they had called these many people in.

It's not too late to know.

Thinking of this, Qi You's face also eased.

The villagers and the officials also breathed a sigh of relief, and they realized that the two adults always think about the people, but they are not the ones who are easy to speak, and they should have no less awe.
