Chapter 677: Appeasement
Liu Paner found a chance to take out the mulberry saplings in the space, about half a meter high, planted at intervals of one meter between the front and back, and when the branches grow, you can also bury the branches in the soil, and after they survive, there will be new mulberry branches.
In addition, after winter, the pruned mulberry branches can also be used for cuttings and seedlings, and there will be more mulberry seedlings.
The mulberry trees here are very tall, some of them are more than ten meters high, and it is becoming more and more difficult to pick mulberry leaves.
However, this is handed down from the ancestors, and it is impossible to cut it down without seeing the convenience of dwarfing mulberry trees.
Therefore, Liu Paner does not grow corn in a village near Sangcheng, but uses it exclusively to grow dwarf mulberry trees.
In addition, she actually found high-quality silkworm eggs in the space.
Liu Pan'er didn't know how to raise silkworms, so she asked the woman in the Zhuangzi to help raise silkworms and pay her wages.
For the time being, local mulberry leaves are used, and when the dwarf mulberry trees grow leaves, they are fed with mulberry leaves that have just been planted this year.
After being busy in the countryside for more than a month, after finishing spring ploughing, Liu Paner returned to Sangcheng again, and everything was settled.
Xujia Silk Village has now been changed to Liujia Silk Village.
Originally, all the traces of the Xu family were replaced by the Liu family.
Although the former Master Liu is gone, now Liu Bancheng is back.
Originally, he did bad things for Xu Jiasheng, but he was all expelled and brought to justice.
Anfen's ability is not bad, and he continues to work in shops and workshops.
When Liu Paner returned to Sangcheng's house, she called the stewards of the shop and workshop.
When these people saw Liu Paner for the first time, they were uneasy.
"Steward Zhang, do you know what happened when Madame called us over?" Shopkeeper Tang asked, he was in charge of the Liu family's silk village, and he was really afraid that something would happen.
Steward Zhang is a person brought by Liu Paner from the south, of course, everything is towards Liu Paner.
"Madame has eliminated all those who committed crimes, and now those who remain are innocent and capable. As long as we do things well, we don't have to worry about the rest. Mrs. Drey, with a noble character, will not be left out for no reason. ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Tang was relieved, there was a debtor and a debtor, and everyone in the Xu family had retribution.
"That's good, I'm afraid that I'll be clumsy and provoke Mrs., so I asked Brother Zhang to help intercede." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "When Brother Zhang is free, I will definitely invite Brother Zhang to eat mutton." ”
Steward Zhang smiled and nodded, "Okay, in fact, after a long time, you know that Mrs. Derui is really a very reasonable person." As long as you do things well, don't deceive your superiors and subordinates, and don't bend the law for bribes, you should be given a lot of wages and rewards. ”
Steward Tang smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Mrs. Drey's kindness." ”
Although the others didn't ask, their thoughts were similar to those of the soup shopkeeper.
At this time, after hearing Steward Zhang's words, it was like taking a reassuring pill.
Walking to the living room together, Liu Paner was already waiting over there, and did not let these people wait longer.
When the maids saw the people, they immediately served tea.
Everyone saluted Liu Pan'er one after another.
Liu Pan'er smiled, "Everyone is exempt, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first." ”
"Thank you, ma'am!" Everyone thanked in unison.
After standing up, they sat down.
Liu Pan'er looked at everyone and remembered the appearance of these people, "You all know what happened in the previous month, so I won't say more." ”
"The Xu family deserves it, they were punished by the law, and the past was written off."
"You people are conscientious, law-abiding and diligent shopkeepers, and I hope you will do the same in the future."
"Yes, Madam, we will do our best in the future, and we will never dare to cheat and cheat." The soup shopkeeper is the representative of these people, and he immediately shows his loyalty.
What Xu Jiasheng did before, in fact, the soup shopkeeper has also heard of it.
It's just that others are soft-spoken, and they can only protect themselves wisely, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Liu Paner nodded, and after preaching, she wanted to give everyone sweetness.
"From the shopkeeper and the young men below, everyone's wages have risen by 20%. A reward will be paid every six months, not less than one month's salary. The specific amount is determined separately according to the annual profitability. ”
When they heard this, their hearts rejoiced.
Their wages are not low in the first place, and if they increase by two percent, it will be even higher.
Now there is a bonus, and it is paid twice a year, and each time it is not less than one month's wages, which is equivalent to fourteen months' wages in a year.
If you do well, you will make more profit and get more bonuses.
Originally, everyone was alienated and afraid of Liu Paner, but after hearing this, they all smiled.
Silver is indeed a good thing.
The stewards went away satisfied, full of energy.
After returning to their respective shops and workshops, they were strict with themselves and supervised the workers below.
When they learned that their wages had risen by 20 percent, everyone was happy and more motivated than the stewards.
In the evening, Li Yuanqing came back from the camp, and while eating, he listened to Liu Paner tell him about everything in Sangcheng.
Especially the disposal of the Xu family.
After Li Yuanqing listened, he gave Liu Paner a thumbs up, "Let the Dali Temple in the capital intervene, this trick is very good." In the future, absolutely no one will use the Xu family to deal with you. ”
Liu Paner shrugged her shoulders and disagreed, "The law of the country is intolerable, Xu Jiasheng and the people of the Xu family are guilty of the law of the country." What if he's my real father? Kill what should be killed, and cut off the head of what should be chopped! ”
"Although some people will talk about me behind my back, I stand on the righteousness, take the national law as the criterion, and deal with the affairs of the Xu family in accordance with the relevant laws."
Li Yuanqing smiled, "This is where you are smart, once and for all." ”
Liu Pan'er smiled, "This matter is left to Governor Yuan's mansion, and those officials from the capital will supervise it." I spent all my energy on the wasteland outside the city, as well as the Liu family's industries, and I really didn't pay attention to it. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Anyway, for those people, it's really not worth it." In the past month, I have made an inventory of all the stations in the north. ”
"The situation of empty pay is very serious, and I have reported it to Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty can deal with it seriously."
"Although it is said that there are 100,000 troops, it is actually less than 80,000. There are also some old and weak among them, who have no combat effectiveness at all. If you really want to let them go to war, you can only send them to death. ”
Liu Pan'er frowned slightly, "I don't understand military matters." All I can do is to provide you with a large amount of military pay, as well as food and cloth. ”
"You must withstand Beirong's army, otherwise our family will probably not be able to escape."
Li Yuanqing smiled and stretched out his hand to flick Liu Paner's forehead, "Don't worry, although the troops are not enough, Beirong will not go south this year." ”
Liu Paner was puzzled, "Why do you say that?" How can you be so sure? ”
