"Brother-in-law, I can't sleep......"

Under the moonlight, a small person stood at the door, rubbing his eyes and crying and begging, "The eldest sister is not here, I'm afraid of the dark ......"

is the youngest sister Miao Xiaofang, a five-year-old little man who doesn't understand why as soon as he appears, the eldest sister and brother-in-law who were originally close to each other are immediately separated.

"Xiaofang is good, there is a brother-in-law and eldest sister, don't be afraid!"

Zhao Hengyi, who looked embarrassed, picked up Miao Xiaofang and coaxed her softly, "Is Xiaofang afraid of the dark?" It's okay, children are afraid of the dark, brother-in-law will let the eldest sister coax you to sleep. ”

Miao Xiaoyu, who was blushing, took over her little sister from her husband and fled.

Looking at the slender back and smelling the dark fragrance remaining in the house, Zhao Hengyi touched his nose and smirked.

For the women of Dayan Kingdom, Miao Xiaoyu's initiative just now can be called bold.

I'm afraid that only when I just came back from Yonggu City, Xiaoyu was too excited, so she would muster up the courage and take the initiative to ask if she missed it.

After tonight, Xiao Yu, who has exhausted her courage, may never dare to be so bold again.

There was no word all night, and the sun rose as usual.

When a new day arrives, Zhao Hengyi becomes even busier.

Even with Miao Xiaoyu and the village chief and a group of elders to take care of them, several projects can only be regarded as normal operation.

However, everyone has done a very good job, after all, Zhao Hengyi's future planning is too advanced, and it is difficult for others to understand.

This time, Zhao Hengyi was going to build three new brick kilns, because a large number of houses would need to be built in the next various plans.

One lime kiln is enough, but Zhao Hengyi plans to build another cement kiln, because even if there are bricks, it is still too troublesome to build a house according to the method of Dayan Kingdom.

was too busy before, and there were so many things to do, Zhao Hengyi actually forgot about the construction artifact of cement, and now he wants to use it, so he remembers.

"Hengyi, the people from Lijia Village next door asked me to ask, can they come to our village to find a job?"

The old village chief is now full of spirits, walking with his head up and chest up, and even when he speaks, his mid-air is much more prosperous than before, "It stands to reason that the money and food of our Yushuwan should not be earned by the people of Lijia Village, but Lijia Village has also helped us ...... before."

"Uncle Wang, let them come, our village can't finish working now, and if you delay for one more day, you will make a lot of money one day later!"

Zhao Hengyi had long felt that his labor was insufficient, and this trip to Yonggu City filled him with a sense of urgency, "The salary is the same as that of the people in our village, but the people who come to work must be strong laborers with quick hands and feet, and they must be safe enough." ”

Mao Mingwang, the village head, nodded, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with the same wages of the people in Lijia Village as the people in this village.

In the eyes of the village chief, the salary given by Zhao Hengyi, as the proprietor, is too high, and the people in his village don't care, just think that Zhao Hengyi is kind-hearted, but when outsiders come to earn this salary, they feel like they have been taken advantage of!

"Uncle Wang, in the future, our Elm Bay will get bigger and bigger, and we will need more and more strong labor, and when the people of Lijia Village completely count on us to live, can they still tell clearly, which village they are from?"

Zhao Hengyi looked bewitched, "They just slept in Lijia Village!" ”

The old village chief thought for a while, and finally showed a sudden expression, and his spirit was uplifted!

Even if it has a good relationship with Lijia Village, Yushuwan, which is composed of outsiders, has been weak for decades among several nearby villages.

After all, most of the other villages have a surname, an ancestor, and they are very exclusive and exclusive.

As the village head, Mao Mingwang didn't look at the faces of other villages before, but now he can have the opportunity to secretly poke and swallow other villages, or the other party took the initiative to ask for it, this feeling is not too cool!

This feeling is very subtle, but it makes people feel itchy in their hearts.

Following Zhao Hengyi, the old village chief also became resolute, and he turned his head to tell the village chief of Lijia Village the good news, but before leaving, the old village chief casually mentioned that the money for the textile workshop to deliver the goods to the county seat and hand over to the thieves had risen by half.

It's not that the old village chief is now lavish and doesn't pay attention to the money for buying roads, but the thieves, who have been operating for more than ten years, do not have a fixed standard in the process of collecting money for buying roads.

Even the money that needs to be paid for each trip to transport goods is different, and in the villages and towns around Dangyang County, copper plates and silver coins are rarely seen, and here grain is the hard currency.

This led to the fact that the old village chief was not so sensitive to the money collected by the thieves to buy the road, and he mentioned it to Zhao Hengyi, just worried that Zhao Hengyi would have doubts when he looked through the account books.

Zhao Hengyi, who was already in an urgent mood, was very sensitive, and vaguely felt that things were not so simple.

At the beginning, Song Ying'an wanted his housekeeper in Dangyang County to come forward and set up a business to help Yushuwan sell the cloth directly to Jiangling Mansion.

It's just that he was busy searching for blacksmiths to make barbed wire, and then he was in a hurry to leave after receiving the order, so the matter was put on hold.

And because Zhao Hengyi followed Song Ying'an to Yonggu City, no one knew how to build a new type of loom, and the output of the Yushuwan textile workshop was not improved, just selling it in Dangyang County was enough to digest, and it was not so urgent to organize a business to go to Jiangling Mansion.

After two or three months, maybe there are already guys with ulterior motives eyeing the textile workshop in Elm Bay!

Although this idea is a bit bizarre, what happened to the Miao family is a lesson from the past, and Zhao Hengyi has to guard against it!

At this moment, Wang Erhu, who was full of vitality after a night's rest, suddenly ran over from outside, saying that the housekeeper of Uncle Song's house came to visit.

The person who came was in his fifties, smiling and harmonious, without a trace of the unique domineering of the high-ranking lords and slaves, but with a little humility in his politeness.

"Sir, you come back with the front foot, and my uncle's letter will arrive on the back foot, and my uncle will explain it clearly, so that Song San can listen to you."

Zhao Hengyi deliberately concealed his knighthood before the battle, and Wang Dahu, Wang Erhu and Zhang Daniu, who were with him, were all given gag orders, and even the seventeen veterans who had taken refuge in the future were also entrusted.

As the elder brother, Song Ying'an naturally knew that Zhao Hengyi was reluctant to publicize his thoughts, but the housekeeper of the other courtyard called him a lord as soon as he opened his mouth, and he must be Song Ying'an's confidant.

"Steward Song is polite, what is the use of listening or not, in the future, the kid will have to rely on Steward Song to take care of it!"

Although Zhao Hengyi, who has been a man in two lives, has his own bottom line in his heart, he also understands the most basic human relations, not to mention that he is a person who respects me and I respect people, so naturally he will not really treat Song San as a slave, "As for the lord or something, I hope that Steward Song will not be called again in the future, I have never mentioned this matter of the man in Cangwu County." ”
