"Of course." At a young age, you have to look at people's faces, hey, rubbed his hair and sighed a little.

"But I'm ...... But I'm too young to do anything. After Li Yan finished speaking, he lowered his head.

"Just do what you can, you see, when you're almost well, don't you also help clean up, don't underestimate yourself."

"This is nothing, it should be done." Li Yan said shyly, he didn't expect Dr. Qiao to praise him.

"Isn't there a lot of oranges here, I want to do the orange business, and there are no workers here, but everyone who works here has to sign a contract, and they can't be cheating, they are decent, and they still have silver to get every month."

"I'm willing to work for Dr. Qiao." Li Yan finally raised his head at this time, his life was saved by Dr. Qiao, and he didn't have any complaints about doing work for him, as long as he was fed and clothed, he didn't need to be paid.

After two days, I had to leave the treatment center, and the panic of homelessness spread all at once.

Although the conversation between the two here was very quiet, it was still audible, and soon, several unconcerned people ran over and begged Qiao Xi to take them in.

"Doctor Qiao, I don't need silver, as long as I can eat enough."

"Doctor Qiao, your life was saved by you, so I'll let you send it."

"Doctor Qiao, please take us. We must do a good job. ”

Qiao Xi secretly counted, there were a total of eighteen people, the oldest of them was thirty years old, and the youngest was the same age as her except for Li Yan.

"In this case, then we will say the ugly words first, and when you enter the factory, you must abide by the rules of the factory, if you don't feel sorry for me, I have the right to sell you, you think about it, don't worry, come to me when you think about it thoroughly." It's a decision that will last their lives, and it's better to be cautious. It is not so easy to make a hasty decision now, regret it in the future, and then try to redeem yourself or something.

"Doctor Qiao, I've already thought about it, I'm willing, if I betray Doctor Qiao one day, even if Doctor Qiao betrays me, I won't have any complaints." A woman said before Qiao Xi left. She is the oldest of all people, this plague took away all her family, but also took away all her hopes, if it weren't for Qiao Gongzi enlightening her from time to time, she wouldn't be able to get out of the pain of losing her relatives at all, at that time she thought about it, in this life, she was a cow and a horse to repay Dr. Qiao's great kindness, and she was ready to follow him.

"Okay, don't worry now, I still have to find a place to see Zhuangzi, stay here with peace of mind now, and I'll have someone take you in a few days."

"Doctor Qiao, we~~" Those who hadn't made a decision were in a hurry, but before the words could be completely spoken, they were intercepted by Qiao Xi.

"Don't worry, since I promised to give you time, I will do what I say."

"Thank you, Dr. Qiao." Now, they can rest assured.

They have to think carefully about where they will stay in the future, go back to farming or work, one is free, no one is restrained, but life will definitely not be very satisfactory, one will be blocked by rules and regulations, but life can be guaranteed to be worry-free.

Oops, it's really tangled, can't there be a way to have the best of both worlds?

At this time, Jun Lichen was sitting beside the prefect and watching him hear the case.

"Jun Lichen, you can't die a good death." Above the public court, Yang Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at him with angry hatred.

"Bold." Liang Feng and Liang Qi scolded one after another, they couldn't hear others being disrespectful to Jun Lichen, if it weren't for the fact that this was a public court, they would have rushed forward and slapped him twice, letting him know that he knew that he couldn't say anything.

"The thing was done by me Yang Wei, why did you arrest all the old people and children in the village, and what is the difference between your behavior and me." Seeing the old people and children in the village being pressed aside, the eyes at the end of the eyes were about to jump out of their sockets.

"They deserve it." Jun Lichen raised his hand to stop what the prefect was about to say, "Didn't they enjoy the materials you snatched back, you feel sorry for your relatives at this time, then have you ever thought about the innocent people who were shot by you, they are also people with children and high wives, have you ever felt guilty about them, why do you have to show such a painful look now." ”

"They just deserve to die, they have so much money and land, why should they live better than us?" Yang Wei is still unrepentant.

"They earn by their own labor, and you have the same hands and feet, even stronger than others, and as long as you want to do things, you are not afraid that you will not find a job, and you are only making excuses for your laziness, cruelty, and greed." Jun Lichen's cold count fell on Yang Wei.

Originally, they thought that they were not wrong, and the bandits who held their heads high listened to Jun Lichen's haul, and a few of them really lowered their heads.

"Okay, even if we deserve to die, our family should always be innocent, you can't involve them." Yang Wei gritted his teeth and glared at Jun Lichen fiercely, "If you dare to attack them, I won't let you go even if I am a ghost, and you will not die well." ”

"Son, mother's son, they deserve to die, they deserve to die, it's all them, it's all them." An old woman kneeling beside her suddenly crawled out, holding Yang Wei and spitting out something.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that?" Jun Lichen's patience had already been worn out, "If there were really ghosts, you had killed so many people, and those people had come to look for you, and you." Jun Lichen pointed to the old lady, "You have enjoyed it for so many years, have you ever thought that everything you have is piled on top of other people's pain." ”

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, the mother of a bandit, wearing silk and satin, wearing gold and silver beads, and scolding others in her mouth, is simply a funny existence.

Looking at the mother and son who were speechless and could only stare at him, he looked at them with a cold smile, "Is General Ben killing people less, people like you are not worthy of General Ben to do it himself, what kind of thing." ”

The ordinary people who heard the trial had already suffered a lot from the bandits, but now when they saw that they had been arrested, they clapped their hands one by one, and the mother and son dared to speak out in the court, which immediately aroused everyone's anger.

"Kill you bastards. Let you hurt others, let you hurt others. ”

"You are a band of scourges, my innocent daughter was killed by you, you are a band of devils, devils."

"General, you have to eliminate the harm for the people, kill them, kill them."

"God has opened our eyes, we can finally get rid of them, they are our nightmare, nightmare."

"Your children are children, so who will pity my children."

"If you enjoy someone else's stuff, you should pay the price. Support the generals, support the generals. ”

"Lord Zhao, let's judge." This is the aspiration of the people and the hope of the people.

Seeing Jun Lichen's impatient eyes, the prefect immediately announced the verdict, considering that tomorrow was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the beheading was postponed three days later.

No one is not afraid of death, and even these outlaws, many shed tears when they knew that there were only three days to live.

"Although their families are not directly involved, they enjoy it together and do not report it, and they are all sold into slavery and cannot be pardoned for life."

Such a result made the people applaud thunderously, although they really wanted to see them die, but who let them live a few more days when it came to the New Year, anyway, this result is already a certainty.

As a result, Yang Wei suddenly collapsed to the ground, tears flowed down, and he hugged his mother in pain, "Mother, my son is not filial." The son is not filial. ”

"It's not,...... It's not ......" Yang Wei's mother also looked at him with tears in her eyes, "The only thing my mother is unwilling to do is that you didn't leave a root for our Yang family......"

It's a pity that such an affectionate mother-son sensational scene has long been covered by the cheers of the people.

The later trial of the gentry is much simpler, the result has already been announced, and at this time it is just a process.

In just a few days, these former people have become rats crossing the street with shrunken heads, everyone shouting and beating, their clothes crumpled, and their hair as messy as dry grass.

"Kill them."

"Scourge."

"It's better to die than to be innocent."

"Well deserved!"

"Their whole family deserves to die." Twenty fifty thousand

More often than not, the people directly faced these gentry, and the hardships they suffered were mostly caused by them. Therefore, the hatred of the gentry is more common people.

"Quit." The prefect is really powerful.

At this time, the turmoil in the upstream counties finally came to an end.

After returning to the post house, Jun Lichen was already waiting for her with a relaxed body.

"I'm back." Jun Lichen only saw Qiao Xi alone in his eyes.

The people who followed into the courtyard very consciously gave up the space to them, and they all went out for a walk.

Qiao Xi was still angry about yesterday's incident, so she didn't mean to talk to him at all, sat aside, and knocked this and that with her hand.

"Are you tired, I'll give you a press." Jun Lichen spontaneously walked to Qiao Xi's side.

"No, I'll do it myself." Let him press it, I don't know what he will do, yesterday it was obviously ...... He actually ...... Unexpectedly...... As for herself, she was still immersed in it, cooperating with him, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she didn't agree to anything.

Jun Lichen couldn't tolerate her, pressed her on the chair, and pressed her slender fingers on the acupuncture points, making Qiao Xi want to hum comfortably.

"By the way, I thought about how I could help the people here rebuild their homes. I would like to come here with a factory dedicated to making canned food and orange juice. In this way, the people do not have to worry about their livelihoods, and the fruit farmers do not have to worry about the oranges rotting and not being able to exchange them for a penny. Qiao Xi said what she was going to do.

"Canned? Orange juice? What are these? Jun Lichen heard fresh words from Qiao Xi's mouth again, and every time she could pop out something he couldn't understand.

"Tangerine juice is to break the oranges, then grind the juice, put cold boiled water, white sugar and anti-spoilage herbal juice, and then put it in a glass bottle and seal it, which can be stored for two months. As for canned food, this one is even simpler. Qiao Xi explained with a smile, "I want to see if there are any ready-made Zhuangzi to buy, and if so, we can start to start this business." ”

"It's not easy to get Zhuangzi, this time I copied so many rich merchants' homes, there are several Zhuangzi in it, you see how big it is, run to the yamen tomorrow, and it will be put under your name in a while." As long as she wants to, there is nothing he can't be satisfied with, isn't it Zhuangzi, anyway, he just copied so many, why is it difficult to give her a few good ones. It's just a matter of one sentence, and the prefect won't say a word, after all, Qiao Xi's intention to ask Zhuangzi is to solve the livelihood of the common people, and it can be regarded as helping him in disguise, and he is a smart person who knows how to pretend to be stupid at this time.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, and by the way, you ask the prefect to issue a notice and ask the person who sold the oranges to me to sign a contract, guaranteeing that the oranges can't be sold to anyone else after they are sold to me, and if they don't abide by the contract, I can sue them and let the government judge directly." Those with a keen sense of smell will perceive that it is profitable to rebuild after a disaster, and in order to prevent someone from stealing business from her, she will strike first.

"You're a quick brain, a ghost." Jun Lichen poked Qiao Xi's forehead dotingly, he really could think of anything.

"So are you going to help or not to help?" Qiao Xi squinted at him.

"Can you help or not?" If he doesn't help, he'll have to kneel on the washboard.

"That's not much."

"You don't have to worry about this, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, so tired that you can only suffer and suffer here with me, think about how to spend tomorrow?" Looking at Qiao Xi's cheeks, which had lost a lot of weight, Jun Lichen's heart was filled with a slight pain, he shouldn't have promised to let her come with him in the first place, he had lost a lot of weight.

It's not easy to raise it back, and I don't know when I'll be able to see that fleshy little face.

"How can I live, it's the same as usual." Qiao Xi didn't think anything, in the Celestial Empire, Chinese New Year's Eve didn't have much of a concept for her, it was no different from eating a meal usually, and when she arrived here, every Chinese New Year's Eve was grand, and she felt the breath of the New Year.

"That's not good, no matter how hard it is, you have to have a good year this year." Jun Lichen retorted. Now he can't give it, but he will remember that he will make it up to her.

"Why don't we make dumplings tomorrow, make more, and be with the people." You can also get close to the people and win the hearts of the people and the world. It's always right to hold the hearts of the people. Qiao Xi mentioned her opinion by the way, the plague made the people panic, although many were appeased, but no one can guarantee that nothing else will happen, and some of them can't be seen on the surface.

"You're really not afraid, you can't talk nonsense in the future, be careful to cut off your head." Jun Lichen really has no way to take Qiao Xi, this girl can really speak freely, how can she say this casually to win the hearts of the people and the world, let the one above listen to it, but she will be beheaded.

"I'm not stupid, I'm just telling you. Besides, it's normal to split and merge. ”

"You still say." Jun Lichen glared at Qiao Xi.

"Hmph...... "I really thought she didn't understand anything, she knew a lot about thousands of years of civilization."

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiao Xi got the title deed of Zhuangzi, and the whole city and countryside were plastered with notices.

The sound of gongs and drums attracted the villagers.

"What does the notice say?" The countrymen were all born with mud legs, and they didn't know a few big characters at all, so the scholars in each village became particularly important, "The prefect issued an official document, saying that Dr. Qiao would build a factory in our county, and if we wanted to do business with Dr. Qiao, we could sell the oranges we received every year to him, and he would give him a fair price." However, those who are willing need to sign a contract with Dr. Qiao, and if they break the contract, they will go to jail. ”

"Is this true?"

"A good thing, a great thing."

"Dr. Qiao is really kind-hearted, not only saved our lives, but now he has to do business with us, such a loving and righteous person, it will not be wrong to sell oranges to him."

"Yes, yes, yes, he saved our lives, and I am willing to give him oranges for nothing."

"That's right, I'm willing to give it away for free."

……

Knowing that it was Dr. Qiao who wanted to do business with them, none of the people in the upstream county hesitated to sign the contract without hesitation.

There are so many people that it takes a long time to sign the contract alone.

Originally, I didn't have much hope for this year, but I didn't expect such good news to be ushered in on this day, and everyone had a smile on their faces, and they were not worried.

The man who had been sent to station the bulletin board to get the contract finally returned before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After Qiao Xi flipped through a few contracts, he put them away.

"When are you going to start?"

"The bottle I want hasn't arrived yet, and when the bottle is almost ready, I can start arranging." Picking oranges, peeling oranges, and squeezing juice are simple jobs, as long as you have physical strength, you can do it, and everyone works together to do it quickly, and it is useless to make these without bottles, and it will be wasted.

"Okay, let's wait."

"Master, can you set the table?" Cool breeze came in and asked.

"Swing it. Today, only the rest of the guards will go to Chinese New Year's Eve. If you eat well, you will go and change people. "This year is special, everything is simple here, there is no general, no son, just like ordinary people, everyone gets together and has fun!

"Yes, master."

Soon, one after another delicacies were served on the table, full of delicious aromas, attracting everyone's taste buds, making people can't help but swallow their saliva.

Jun Lichen sat on the main seat, Qiao Xi sat on his left hand, Cai Zhenghua on his right, and then sat down in turn, and the table was full after a while.

"I don't want to say anything more today, just one sentence that everyone has worked hard." Jun Lichen picked up the wine glass and took the lead in toasting everyone.

"I can't do it, I can't help it, the general is serious, it's serious." Cai Zhenghua was full of excitement, stood up and took a drink. The general's toast, how can you not drink it.

"Imperial Doctor Cai doesn't have to be nervous, you don't have to be restrained at this time, let go, you should eat and drink."

"Okay, listen to the general, come on, let's drink and eat." Imperial Physician Cao is the best at looking at his face, and as soon as Jun Lichen's voice fell, he immediately jumped out to prevent the atmosphere from being cold.
