The next day, the team of villagers who came to Taoyuan Village to repair the road grew a little more.

Most of them heard that Zhao Tian had worked for half a day and had received half of his salary, so they thought about trying their luck to see if Qiao Xuan would also be soft-hearted and pay them wages.

Although the person who was forced by Qiao Xuan to do the day job didn't dare to say anything, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his expression was cold.

"Idle at home is also idle, village chief, we are also here to repair the road, after all, this road is the responsibility of our village."

Someone laughed and came to Qiao Xuan to flatter.

"Anyway, there is no salary, you can come if you want."

Qiao Xuan glanced at the person who spoke, and shrugged indifferently.

The opportunity has already been given, and the ugly words are ahead, and if you come, you won't give money, that's it!

"Don't joke with us, the village chief is from the same village, but we heard that Zhao Tian worked yesterday and you paid him wages, don't treat the village chief differently."

The man next to Xi Yan sneered, and then said in a deliberately weird tone.

Qiao Xuan looked around and didn't find Zhao Tian's figure, probably taking his mother for treatment.

"It's fifty taels of silver in total, and I can't afford to hire so many people, so I'm not joking."

Qiao Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the man who had just spoken, "Fun is fun, let's not joke with wages, don't you miss the opportunity and don't come again, don't you understand?" ”

Hearing Qiao Xuan say this, those who decided to come privately immediately regretted it, "That-then we won't be able to go!" Went back, went back. ”

"There's a lot of work at home."

Qiao Xuan looked at the villagers of Taoyuan Village who were left to work in vain, and said with a smile: "It's all from the same village, everyone walks after the road is repaired,

It's all here, just stay! You see, Uncle Wang and Uncle Li have been working diligently for several days. ”

"You can't just help them, you don't do anything, just sit back and enjoy the results, just wait for the road to be repaired and everyone will go together, right? How embarrassing is that? ”

The group of people who had already given birth to an evil fire in their hearts because of their white work, and now the fire in their hearts is even higher.

That's right! Why do some people work on the roads in the village and some don't?

Even if they force them to stay and work, it will not make those who do not work feel good.

"The village chief said it well! I would advise anyone who has not come to build the road that they are not allowed to walk this road in the future. ”

"You can find someone to guard the intersection, and those who haven't built the road will take this road and pay the toll later."

"My house is the closest to this road, village chief, I can do this work, and I guarantee that no one who has not built the road will not be able to run."

Everyone was gossiping, and Qiao Xuan's heart was happy.

It was a good idea, but why didn't she think of it? With the help of strength, she used this group of people to force those lazy and hiding at home in the village to come out to work, and the dog ate the dog with a mouth full of hair, and she just watched the battle.

She coughed lightly, "I think what everyone said makes a lot of sense!" Then it's decided. ”

"Starting tomorrow, except for those who do not have young laborers at home, one person from each family will come to repair the road, and those who do not come will pay the toll in the future, and the collected toll will be saved up and distributed to the families of those who participated in the road construction in our village."

As soon as Qiao Xuan said this, the people who had worked as day laborers before were immediately happy.

Not only can they force others to work for nothing like them, so that they don't have to lose face in the village because of this, but they can also get tolls, killing two birds with one stone.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Qiao Xuan hooked his lips and smiled, and hurriedly struck the iron while it was hot: "Let me say it again, there will be this kind of thing in our village in the future, those who work will receive money, and those who don't work will pay money!" Of course, the special poor households in the village are excepted. ”

The group of people who came this morning were pale-faced, and they had the feeling that they were going to get in if they didn't have anything left, and they should have come.

Xi Yan looked at Qiao Xuan with admiration, the team of road builders has grown again, cow! The key is that there are few people hired, and most of them work for nothing.

After calming down, Xi Yan began to wonder if Qiao Xuan had already planned it at the beginning, otherwise how could she not force the villagers to work at that time, and let everyone think about it.

When everyone had started working, she whispered her curious question.

Qiao Xuan didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "You're right!" ”

"Indeed, on the first day of recruitment, I decided to teach them a good lesson by building roads."

……

On the other side of the city, in a tavern in town.

"Brother Xi, guess who is the person who makes that dog officer nervous?"

A man in a gray-blue coarse cloth shirt shook the folding fan in his hand and asked mysteriously.

Xi He took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and raised his eyes to look at the person who couldn't hold back and was about to say the answer himself.

"Who?"

"The eighth prince, it's the eighth prince."

He Zhuyuan lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "Why do you guess he suddenly came to Gupo County?" ”

Xi He's slender fingers tapped on the table, "He Zhuyuan, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Alright! All right! Brother Xi, you are so boring" He Zhuyuan pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Because a Jiangyang thief was arrested last month,

The dog officer was supposed to send people up, but I don't know what night in the cell broke into a group of black-clothed killers, cut people when they saw them, and the thief was killed in the chaos. ”

Xi He's eyes darkened, and he thought of the time when Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan were locked up before, and it seemed that the people in He Zhuyuan's mouth were the people in black.

"The imperial court hated the Jiangyang thieves and issued a heavy reward, whoever wants to catch him for a great achievement, the dog official probably thought that he could make a fortune through his promotion, but he died."

He Zhuyuan showed a gloating expression.

"And when are you going to do it?"

Xi He's face was grim, and he looked at He Zhuyuan, who didn't seem to be so reliable.

"My dad asked me to ask your opinion, when do you think the best time is it?" He Zhuyuan scratched his head and said with a smile: "You kid is smart when he is young, he has a flexible brain, and he has a lot of ghost ideas, so it is more reliable to listen to you." ”

Xi He glanced at He Zhuyuan coldly, and pondered with his eyebrows.

After a while, he asked, "What is the direction of the county government now?" ”

He Zhuyuan smiled, "That dog official has done a lot of bad things, so naturally he is holding his tail between his tail and being a man on the tuyere.

I wish the prince would leave quickly, and now that all villages are in a hurry to repair roads, his embezzlement of money for road construction will be accidentally exposed. ”

Xi He nodded and said in a low voice: "Try to let the prince know about the road construction, and take people to his mansion while the dog official goes to the inn.

Put a fire in the front yard to draw everyone's attention to the front yard, you go to the backyard to get something, and set a fire afterwards. ”

After a pause, he admonished again: "Be careful, don't hurt people's lives, and have more people to answer." ”
