Seeing that Ye Hao was safe and sound, Fu Heng and Boss Wu also calmed down and didn't ask too much.

Seeing this, the wealthy businessmen breathed a sigh of relief, and today they were shooting themselves in the foot, hoping that the other party would not be too concerned and would be punished.

Ye Hao was not so stingy, but the more Boss Wu thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and he was quite dissatisfied with the county order:

"My lord, Mrs. Xie and I are busy with disaster relief today. There is no merit and hard work, how can it be speculated by others at will!"

In the afternoon, the fund-raising caused a lot of uproar in the city because of the honor plates, and almost all the city knew about it.

Therefore, Ye Hao was taken away by the officers and soldiers in a grand manner, so it reached the ears of Boss Wu so quickly, and asked him to rush over with Fu Heng.

Seeing a few wealthy businessmen standing on the sidelines who cowered and didn't dare to speak, could he still not be clear in his heart?

Although Boss Wu is usually warm and kind-hearted, he is not a master who dares to resist when he comes to the door, so he began to give eye medicine to the county order immediately.

According to Ye Hao's meaning, now all the credit for fundraising is piled up on the county order, so some people question the fundraising, isn't it questioning the county order?

This was figured out by the prefectural order and several businessmen.

Several people turned pale with fright in an instant, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy again and again.

It is not entirely dependent on their ancestral business that they can develop such a large family business in the local area, but there are still people with good brains, and they immediately opened their mouths and said that they were willing to donate another 500 taels.

So, one after another, they took the initiative to increase donations, and the sincerity was enough.

Hearing that the silver was not for himself, the county magistrate felt a little uncomfortable, but he thought about it, even if it was given to the victims, the reputation still belonged to him, so he nodded happily.

The matter was revealed, and those wealthy businessmen didn't dare to speak out again when they saw Ye Hao and the others, so they spent money to buy a lesson.

After the matter was negotiated, Ye Hao and others came out of the county office.

As soon as he went out, Lin Bin's figure standing at the gate of the county government was particularly conspicuous, especially the ruthless temperament that revealed from his body, which made the officers and soldiers guarding the door couldn't help but look sideways.

"You're here?"

Ye Hao walked over like no one else and smiled, not at all as if she had been caught in by someone, as if she was just going to be a guest.

Seeing her, Lin Bin's cold face eased and nodded slightly.

Because he bought too many things today, it took him a long time to unload the goods when he got home, and he came back a little late.

But as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Moon Tower, he received a notice from Xiao Er, saying that Ye Hao was arrested by the officers and soldiers of the county government.

At that time, Lin Bin wanted to raise a knife and kill it, but fortunately, the little second said that Fu Heng and the others went in to rescue him, so he couldn't hold back the killing intent in his heart.

Ye Hao didn't know his inner activities, he only thought that the other party was a little worried about him, and patted his shoulder comfortingly.

After thanking Boss Wu and Fu Heng, she and Lin Bin got into the carriage and prepared to go home.

I've been busy with so many things today, the sun is sinking in the west, and if I don't hurry back, I'm afraid it will be dark when I get home.

After she left, Fu Heng said hello to Boss Wu and left, and a farce came to an end.

At this time, in the backyard of the county government, the county commander was sitting in the study, and the master was waiting beside him.

In addition to the two of them, there is also an official that Ye Hao has seen, Zhang Xuehai.

"What's going on in the sugar mill today?"

The county order was writing leisurely, and he didn't even look at the other party.

Zhang Xuehai bent down and replied respectfully on his face:

"Nowadays, most of our brown sugar has been refined into white sugar, but the yield is too low, and the sugarcane in Guantian is no longer enough. The lower officials have already sent people to buy sugar cane from other farmers in the city."

According to the method provided to them by Ye Hao, a thousand catties of crude brown sugar can only get three hundred catties of white sugar, which is really a low ratio.

The county order also knew this, but he was not familiar with this kind of businessman's way

Learned, so it was basically handed over to the head of the household.

He didn't call the other party here today to inspect, how could these messy little things get into his eyes.

"Do you have enough people in the workshop?"

Receiving this question inexplicably, Zhang Xuehai frowned without a trace, but there was no trace on his face.

He was still respectful in his words, and he couldn't find fault with his demeanor.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xuehai still decided to report truthfully, after all, it is imperative to recruit people.

"There is indeed a shortage of manpower, and although the process of refining brown sugar into white sugar is not complicated, it also requires some effort. The old workers are no longer busy."

The workers in the sugar factory, with the exception of some criminals who were exiled here, were the "own people" of the prefectural order.

In particular, the workers who have access to the refining of white sugar are in the hands of the two of them.

Hearing this, the county magistrate raised his eyebrows slightly, and was a little surprised in his heart.

I didn't expect Ye Hao to be able to calculate this point, and he only knew about this matter now.

But this astonishment lasted only a moment, and he bowed his head and commanded:

"Since there is a shortage of manpower, then you are ready to prepare and accept those victims at the gate of the West City as workers."

This point was agreed to by the county order in front of everyone, and I felt a little reluctant at the time, but now it seems that it couldn't be better.

It is enough for the victims to enter the sugar factory and only do some work of refining brown sugar.

But his words made Zhang Xuehai, who was standing, stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and said with some hesitation:

"Your Excellency, this ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Those victims are weak and sickly, and they don't have much energy, so if they are recruited into the workshop, they will miss the project of refining sugar."

This evasion made the county commander a little dissatisfied, and he raised his eyes to look at the other party.

Anyway, the words have already been released, whether it works or not, this person has to be recruited to work in the workshop.

Besides, if he really can't do the work, if he doesn't give him food, can he still lose money?

"Those victims are much cheaper than hiring workers! Now there are thousands of taels of money collected from the donations, enough for them to eat and come back to work!"

Thousands of taels?!

This time, Zhang Xuehai's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise.

After the fundraising incident came out, he also heard about it, but he didn't take it seriously.

This kind of spending money is a joke in his opinion, but he didn't expect to be able to raise so much money.

In fact, almost more than half of such a large sum of silver was made by the rich businessmen who had just asked for their own hardships.

Each of them had five hundred taels, which added up to two thousand taels of silver, and it was no wonder that the county order was a little moved at that time.

"Alright, let's arrange this as it is!"

With that, the county commander waved his hand and drove the people out.

And the master standing behind him spoke slowly, and his words were somewhat dissatisfied with Zhang Xuehai.

"My lord, this Lord Zhang has been obedient to you all day, how dare you contradict it today?"

He and Zhang Xuehai have always been not very good at dealing with each other, and this time he caught the flaws of the other party, so naturally he will not let it go.

The master has been following the county order for a longer time than Zhang Xuehai, he came with him from other places, and the relationship between the two is deeper.

But he couldn't stand Zhang Xuehai as a person who could sneak around and shoot horses, so he coaxed the county order to be happy, and even gave him a fat difference like a sugar factory.

Today's performance did make the county commander a little dissatisfied, and he frowned immediately.

"He's really been a little ineffective lately, and if he can't do this errand well, it's time to knock and knock!"

The last insect plague, he remembered it in his heart, there was Zhang Xuehai's share!

It was only later that the imperial court did not pursue too much, and Ye Hao proposed a method to solve the insect plague, and the county order would easily let go of the two suspected master books.

The sugar workshop is self-contained in the eyes of the prefectural order

He wanted to arrange for workers to go in, but Zhang Xuehai dared to speak out to stop him, he was really bold!

Zhang Xuehai knew that his actions today might be disliked by the county order, so when he left the county office, he called the little guy around him, whispered in his ear for a while, and got into the carriage and went north.

And the little guy turned around and hurried to the county magistrate's mansion behind the county office.

Ye Hao, who returned home, told Xie Yunshu about today's fundraising, she knew that this matter was too big, even if she didn't take the initiative to tell it, the other party would know sooner or later.

Xie Yunshu is not a person who likes to join in the fun, but Zhao Yi often plays with some children in the village, and it is inevitable that he will not hear something.

Instead of waiting for the other party to ask herself, it is better for her to explain first!

Ye Hao didn't feel that there was anything to hide about this matter.

Sure enough, hearing her words, Xie Yunshu had a look of approval on his face.

In terms of dealing with the people, the attitude of the two was unexpectedly consistent, after all, Xie Yunshu's father was an honest and loyal prime minister, and the tiger father had no dogs.

At the dinner time of this day, the prefectural order returned to the mansion and thought about having dinner with his wife.

was told by the maid in Song Wan's room, Song Wan's heart suddenly became depressed, and she went up the mountain to worship the Buddha to soothe her mood.

In this regard, displeasure rose in the heart of the county commander.

"Still going up the mountain so late? Can't you go tomorrow?"

After complaining, he didn't care too much, his wife is soft and weak on weekdays, and her favorite is also to worship the Buddha, and such things still happen from time to time.

has no wife, and there are a few intimate concubines in the backyard, and he has no shortage of people to accompany him.

If it was placed in the past, the county order would not even be angry, but would care about Song Wan for a few words.

But when he recalled Ye Hao, who was extremely outstanding in appearance and demeanor, he suddenly felt that the lady he had thought was very good before was also a little disdainful.

Look at people, not only good looks and high character, but also very smart!

My own wife, except for carrying the Buddha in the house all day long, where can she compare to others?

Thinking like this, the county magistrate snorted lightly and went to the concubine's room.

When Song Wan returned home, she heard the news that the county magistrate was angry because of her absence, and her face froze, and she immediately rushed to the concubine's room with the maid.

Zhang Xuehai's words were still spinning in her ears, she frowned slightly, and there were some doubts in her heart.

According to the habit of weekdays, going to Jinquan Temple by himself should not make the county order angry, could it be that Zhang Xuehai is hiding something?

Without thinking too much, the group hurriedly walked to the door of the concubine's courtyard.

In order to pretend to be really weak and delicate, Song Wan also gritted her teeth and pinched her thigh, making an uncomfortable appearance.

"Madame wants to see the Lord."

When she walked to the door, she saw that the door was locked, and the maid beside Song Wan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

As soon as the knock on the door fell, the sound of a trotting came from the house, and an impatient maid opened the door,

"The lord said, I won't see you today, so please go back, madam!"

The white eyes of the maid on the other side were about to roll out of the sky, even if it was to the lady head, there was not much respect.

Although his master is a concubine, he is also a noble concubine, and he has followed the lord for several years and has a son and a daughter.

This lady looks weak, but how many catties and taels are there, they are the subordinates in the back house, they know it very well!
