After listening to Yun Lan's analysis and explanation at night, Li Mingren seemed to be infused with a clear spring, and his thoughts were bubbling in his mind, and he couldn't wait to play a set of punches on the spot to calm himself down.

Zhao Yunlan saw that it was still early, so she lay back and wanted to get some sleep. The other person in the room was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Lady, you sleep, I'll go to the study to make plans."

"Go ahead, don't come and talk to me tomorrow morning, I'm going to sleep more."

Li Mingren responded excitedly, consciously lowered his voice and walked to the study, until the rooster crowed and the dog barked, and the sky was a little white, Li Mingren came out of the study, and Zhao Yunlan was still asleep at this time.

Today's school is closed, but the yamen has to be on duty. Li Mingren freshened up, had breakfast with Ruiwen, and went to the front office. Although I haven't slept all night, I am still in good spirits, and I even walk with the wind, which is completely different from the feeling of the previous days.

"My lord, is there any happy event today?" Cao Yingfa's habitual patting on the back is actually not a sycophant, this person can actually perceive Shangguan's emotions better than others, and can provide Li Mingren with a good emotional value, which is also a Cao Yingfa's advantage. And this 'other' compared to it is naturally Chen Yiqing, who entered the door one step later.

Li Mingren was already accustomed to Cao Yingfa's flattery, and said happily: "Let's talk about it in detail later, if there is a case to be tried today, if not, we will go to the meeting first." ”

The county government has long understood what it means to hold a meeting, that is, everyone gets together and talks for a while.

Cao Yingfa looked at the booklet of the daily summary of matters and said: "There is no litigation case to deal with today, but today I have arranged to visit the countryside and start arranging for forced labor." ”

This booklet was also made by Li Mingren, influenced by Yunlan, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, write down what to do, improve the efficiency of doing things, and look through it every day before going to the hall to make sure that there is no missing official business.

"Okay, then let's have a meeting first, let's set the time of the official service and issue the service order today, so that everyone can have some time to prepare. In addition to this, I have a few things to consult with you. ”

Chen and Cao sat in the newly placed conference room and waited, and Li Mingren sent someone to call Xie Changwang, and the four of them gathered in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Okay, the first thing, set the time for conscription, I think it can be before the autumn harvest, the duration of conscription is twenty days, what do you think?" Li Mingren didn't say a word of nonsense, and went straight to the meeting.

Cao Yingfa: "If it is to be set before the autumn harvest, then ten days later, so as to give the servants a time to recuperate, but the autumn harvest will be held a few days after the completion of the conscription, and the families with few strong laborers are afraid that they will not be able to bear it." ”

Chen Yiqing pursed his lips and waited for Cao Yingfa to finish speaking before he spoke: "Yes, I think 20 days is a bit long, this time it is just to repair the river embankment, and we have already sent someone to inspect it, and then we can save the time of this inspection and let the servants go to work directly, so we can shorten the time to 15 days, so that we can rest for a few more days after the end." ”

Xie Changwang can't interject in these matters, he just needs to listen and know.

Li Mingren continued: "Then set for the 18th, I don't want to shorten the construction period and cause everyone to be frivolous, but self-defeating." This time, I will not slap my swollen face and become fat, and the conscription subsidy will be abolished, but I want to increase the cost of the servant's meal, so as to ensure that everyone can improve their meals during the conscription, so that there will not be meat every day, but I must ensure that there is hot soup and rice every day. ”

Xie Changwang then spoke: "Then I will send a team of people to cook food near the river embankment, and the county government has a surplus pot, we will take it directly and bury a stove to cook it." ”

Li Mingren nodded: "Well, that's what I meant." The manpower was chosen from among the officials who were unwilling to stay before. Speaking of which, the second thing is that I have decided that the yamen will not reduce the manpower, and I have arranged for these people. So this is to be handed over to Lao Xie to deal with, and then ask these thirty-eight people, if the yamen keeps them, if they are willing. If you still don't want to, let's talk about it again. ”

Xie Changwang was happy in his heart, after all, they were all people brought out by himself, and most of them chose to leave because they were not sure that they could be stayed.

"Okay, my lord, I'll talk to you after the meeting."

"Okay, do you have any opinions about conscription?"

"Nope." Cao and Chen responded. If you want to say that Chen Yiqing is happy in his heart, Li County Ling can figure out the cancellation of the subsidy for the servant and improve the food, the food cost is much less than the subsidized silver, so that the county government can be more generous.

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing. I just mentioned that the autumn harvest will be held a few days after the conscription, so I plan to hold an activity to go to the countryside to help the farmers this year, select the poor families in each village, and we will go to help the autumn harvest, and then work with the village chief of each village to coordinate the strong labor force of each village, and help each other in the village.

The county government is not all out together, let's go to the countryside in batches to ensure the normal operation of the county government. I was in the first batch, taking the lead, everyone participated, and everyone went to the countryside for two days. Today, when we go to the countryside to visit, we will first have a general understanding of the situation in each village and make arrangements for coping. ”

"Yes." Cao Yingfa was surprised and a little distressed, hey~ I can't hide from going to be a coolie, I thought so in my heart, but I didn't refute it.

Chen Yiqing and Xie Changwang didn't feel much, Xie Changwang also thought that when the time came, he would directly arrange to go to his own village, go back home on business, and help the family do some work.

"By the way, the county government alternately arranges manpower, and he is not allowed to go back to his own village, lest there be a situation where he only helps his own work when he goes back. This matter is also arranged by Lao Xie You, and after the list is drawn up, it will be submitted to Lao Chen for preliminary review, and then Cao County Cheng will review it, and finally I will confirm it here. ”

Xie Changwang was hit in his heart and had to respond obediently: "Okay, my lord." ”

"Then the matter that only 20% of the tax will be collected for this year's autumn harvest was also issued at the same time as the enlistment decree was issued. Let's talk about this matter today, and Lao Chen will go to the countryside with me in a while, and then order a few officials to go with us. Lao Cao, you hurry up and issue the announcement of the service order and the autumn harvest, and Lao Xie will take charge of the errand service. ”

"Yes! My lord. ”

Li Mingren went to change out of his official uniform and went out of the yamen with people.

Zhao Yunlan slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, "Chunxiang, how did you hear Qing'er crying." ”

"The little lady didn't see Mrs. when she was eating, and she was a little unhappy, and at this time, Mama Cui was hugging and coaxing, and the young master was also teasing the little miss."

Zhao Yunlan washed her face and brushed her teeth, "Bring Qing'er over, I'll hold it for a while." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

After getting dressed, Mama Cui came with Qing'er.

"Ouch, let my mother see which cutie is crying and chirping!"

Qing'er stretched out her hand to Zhao Yunlai to hug her, and her mouth was mushy with short syllables as if shouting: "Sheep (Niang)".

"Eh, my mother hugs Qing'er's baby!" Zhao Yunlan took the little girl, "Let's go, accompany my mother to dinner, but you just drank milk, so you can only watch your mother eat." ”

In her mother's arms, Xiao Qing'er settled down a lot, and she squeaked and babbled without crying or making trouble in response to Zhao Yunlan's words.

"Where's Raven?" Zhao Yunlan didn't see her son, and asked Mama Cui.

"The young master has gone to the study to review his homework."

"This kid is quite conscious today, let He Hua cook a bowl of wontons for me, I want to eat some wontons today, and I will take it to Zhuangzi in a while, the food made by the eldest sister who cooks in Zhuangzi is really not delicious."

During this time, Zhuangzi was building a factory building, so he invited a few women from the local village to cook, these women had average cooking skills, and the men who came to work did not talk about the taste of food, they were all poor people, and they couldn't eat eight points full at home every day, and the daily meals for working here were sufficient, the kind that was full, not to mention the occasional bit of meat, so everyone felt fragrant when they ate.
