Chapter 34 Recruitment

Before today, Yao Jibai was a gentleman here in Yao Boqing, he couldn't help with anything, he would only enjoy and eat, so that he couldn't help but be angry with him;

But after today, he suddenly felt that this younger brother was cute, and that was because of his father's foil.

Yao Jibai can't do anything and can't help his family, but he won't hold back.

His father......

The most important thing is that Yao Jibai has done something wrong, he can beat and punish, what can he do to his father?

I can only choke my anger back, and then I am half angry with myself.

Yao Boqing covered his heart for a long time before he came to his senses, he couldn't scold his father, let alone beat him and punish him, he could only grit his teeth and analyze the pros and cons for him, "Dad, if you hadn't cut off the food for Master Zhao and County Lieutenant Xue, then they wouldn't have stood on the side of the new county order, if there is something in the county office, wouldn't they notify us in advance?" ”

He said: "In this world, only the relationship of interests is eternal, and everything else is empty!" ”

Master Yao also knows that he has done something wrong, but can he admit it?

So he avoided it, and began to scold Han Mu, Zhao Zhushu and Xue Xianwei, thinking that they were not enough to swallow elephants, greedy and arrogant......

Yao Jibai on the side lowered his eyes, and his face condensed in the place where Yao Boqing and Master Yao couldn't see.

Han Mu personally stood in front of the warehouse, and when he saw the grain piled up inside, he became satisfied, "Now it's okay, we won't have a famine after all, right?" ”

Gu Junruo said: "If the trade route is not open for a day, the crisis will not be resolved for a day." ”

Han Mu: "Why? ”

"Because now the entire Yixian County is actually still relying on the Yao family's grain, only in and out, how much can everyone consume these stored grains?" Gu Junruo said: "So we have to open roads, dredge rivers, and bring in grain from outside." ”

"You mean, we're in the grain business? But we don't have any money. ”

Gu Junruo said: "You don't need money, as long as the land route and the river are connected, just send some people out to spread some news, for example, the price of grain in Yixian County has soared to 180 wen a bucket, and the Yao family has made a lot of money by relying on this flood." ”

"Merchants seek profit, and when they hear such news, some people bring in grain."

He Ziyou said: "But in this way, hasn't the price of grain in Yixian been raised again?" ”

Gu Junruo glanced at him, and felt that he and Han Mu were worthy of being brothers, and even their brains were about the same, she said: "The price is set according to the market, not to mention that such an outrageous price of 180 wen is suspected of raising prices, the yamen will not agree, even if our county government doesn't care, in the case of the Yao family's grain shop fifteen wen and one bucket, and our county government to stabilize prices, do you think they can sell one hundred and eighty wen a bucket of grain?" ”

Han Mu and He Ziyou shook their heads together. "But if they find out that they have been deceived, won't they be angry and carry the food away?"

"The grain is heavy, the transportation is not easy, there is still money to be made in fifteen wen and one bucket, but if they turn around and ship it out again, the price of grain outside is even cheaper than that in Yixian, two freight, one in and one out, then it will be a loss," Gu Junruo said: "Businessmen are profit-seeking, and they will not choose to leave without brains." ”

Han Mu said: "If it were me, I wouldn't sell it, you dare to lie to me, I'd rather pull the grain out and distribute it to people outside than sell it to you." ”

Gu Junruo glanced at him, so you are a fool.

Han Mu understood her eyes, and his eyes widened a little with anger.

"So the next step is to recruit people to clean up the roads and rivers, and use work for relief to pacify the people."

This is a very cumbersome matter, Han Mu didn't think it was difficult, just tell the people below to do it.

But......

How to arrange the people who are recruited?

Who will dredge the river, who will build the road, who will build the county, how to arrange it, one person asks a question, and Han Mutou is big.

He Ziyou also had a big head, so he turned around and wanted to slip away, but Han Mu grabbed the back collar with one hand and dragged him back, he gritted his teeth and said: "A good brother is to share difficulties, do you want to run now?" ”

He Ziyou: "I won't!" ”

"Do you think I will, then?" Han Mu said: "I won't go to school!" ”

Who to learn from, naturally learn from Gu Junruo.

Seeing that Gu Junruo was well arranged, and even had time to help the errand soldiers register the people who came to sign up, Han Mu couldn't help but be convinced, and then rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, pushing aside a messenger next to Gu Junruo, "I'll come, you go and move a table again." ”

The county magistrate came down in person, and the county officials were even more excited when they saw this, and they worked as hard as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The wages set by the yamen are according to the type of work, and the labor cost to clean the rivers and roads is the highest, and the division of labor is different, and the wages are between 15 and 20 yuan.

Rebuilding the county, cleaning the county, and cooking and other work are slightly less, between ten and fifteen yuan.

There is only one type of work, which can be less labor, more wages, and that is the literate steward.

Anyone who can read and read can sign up for the stewardship, and the salary is 20 wen a day.

It's a pity that Gu Junruo has been here for a long time, and no one who can read or write has been recruited.

The county government is in need of manpower, especially literate people, and if no one can recruit anyone who can read today, she decided to go directly to the county school.

While she was pondering, a young man in simple clothes sat down in front of her.

Gu Junruo glanced up at him, and when he was about to lower his eyes, he looked up again, the young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, almost the same age as them, with a fair complexion, and he avoided his gaze when Gu Junruo looked over.

Gu Junruo's eyes swept over her earlobe, and when she saw that there were no ear piercings on it, she raised her eyebrows, she firmly believed in her feelings.

She asked, "What's your name?" Do you have any special features? ”

"Mrs. Hui, my name is Luo Yu, I, I am literate."

Gu Junruo's eyes lit up slightly, "Are you really literate?" ”

Luo Yu nodded affirmatively, "Yes." ”

Gu Junruo handed her the paper and pen and said, "Then you can write down your information according to the list above." ”

"Yes."

Luo Yu immediately took the pen and began to write.

Gu Junruo got up and walked to her, and when he saw that she wrote well, he couldn't help but smile and nodded with satisfaction.

Han Mu was single-minded, recording the people who signed up, while turning his head to look at Gu Junruo, seeing that she was leaning on the table to look at the man, and she also smiled at the man, she was dissatisfied for a while, so she pinched the pen and coughed heavily.

Gu Junruo just lifted his eyelids and glanced at him and lowered his eyes, while Xiaobei was a little anxious and hurriedly asked, "Erlang, are you too tired, so you are sick?" ”

Seeing that she ignored him, Han Mu was so angry that he let out a breath from his nose, "Yes, since I came to Yixian, I have been busy, and I don't know when I got sick. ”

As he spoke, he coughed heavily.

Gu Junruo frowned when he heard this, and walked over, "Are you really sick?" Let me see. ”

She reached out to grab his wrist and feel the pulse, Han Mu was stunned, "You still know how to take the pulse?" ”

Gu Junruo said: "I know a little bit about it. ”
