Qiu Yu squatted down, looked at Yingying, and found that the child's face was still very pale, but his spirit was very good.

"It's almost your birthday, I'm here to celebrate your birthday, what are you doing here?"

Birthday? Lu Ying rubbed her little hands and looked at Qiu Yu with bright eyes: "I want to make more money, and give more refugees to my mother in the future, so that she can be happier, so I got Ding'an County, you want to celebrate my birthday, what about the gift?" ”

Qiu Yu took out a black jade plate from his arms and handed it to him: "This is for you, and the living money in Qiu's coconut oil account in the future can be transferred with this card." ”

Lu Ying took the jade plate and found that the jade plate was engraved with a soft fish with ten wrists and feet, and her little face stiffened: "How do you carve a soft fish?" ”

Qiu Yu was helpless: "Because the carved loach fish is not good-looking." ”

Lv Ying: Is the soft fish beautiful at that moment?

He carefully put away the jade plate, said hello to the foreman, and was going back, Lan Shan led the old donkey and helped Lu Ying to get on the donkey, Qiu Yu naturally took the reins, and Lan Shan protected him left and right.

The road has been repaired much smoother and wider, and there are strong men carrying earth under the February sun.

Whenever someone saw Lu Ying, they would stop and bow their heads to him willingly.

This child has gained the respect of the place.

Qiu Yu was curious: "Just now I saw that the foreman of your family is very young, and his skin is white, and he doesn't seem to be a local." ”

Most of the people who stay on Qiongya Island all year round, except for Lu Ying, who don't like to bask in the sun, and wear sunscreen hats and fences everywhere they go, will be tanned by the blazing sun here.

Lu Ying: "You said gold and silver, he is a refugee sent back to Qiongya Island by his mother, and his hometown is in Sizhou." ”

Listening to Lu Ying's account, Qiu Yu learned that Officer Lu had sent refugees to Qiongya Island twice, and the group of Huguang refugees he knew were currently arranged to reclaim the famine and grow grain, and there was also a group of refugees displaced by the war between the two countries at the junction of the border between the Yu Dynasty and Northern Mongolia.

Lu Xiaoxuan asked for a boat from her family to transport these people back to Qiongya Island, and there was a case on the boat at that time - several old men forced a girl and threw her into the sea and drowned, and Officer Lu directly sent the heads of those people to the city gate.

But except for the people involved, the rest of the people have planted sugar cane in the manor for two years, and they have to learn words and arithmetic every night, and many of them have successfully escaped illiteracy.

Lu Ying is not the kind of person who does everything himself, in the heart of the villain, he is the boss, and the people hired by him take money and food, so they must repair the road for him.

Therefore, when he decided to build the road, he told Wei's mother that the foreman he was looking for should not only be able to build roads, but also be literate and able to manage things, and be able to calculate the wages of the workers.

Qiu Yu: "Mother Wei is equivalent to the head of personnel. ”

Lu Ying tasted the word personnel and nodded: "Yes, if I want to hire people, I will ask her." ”

Wei's mother recommended the young man named Jin Yin, saying that he was a military household in his hometown, and he had dug a trap on the battlefield, so he had engineering experience.

Qiu Yu sighed: "You still have to know how to read, gold and silver will become your little stewards this time." ”

Lu Ying agreed: "Yes, so I let Jin Yin teach road workers to read and write every night before going to bed, and those who learn to read and write, I will give them a raise, and I also found that those who can read speak more clearly, and those who don't know how to read speak upside down, making them very tired." ”

Qiu Yu stumbled and stood up to Lu Ying, "Qiu Yu, have you had lunch?" Is it so hungry that you don't have the strength to walk", covering your face.

is worthy of Brother Ying, first take the land and then initially popularize education, the most important thing is that he does not intend to popularize education, he just wants to make it more convenient for himself, anyway, it is the foreman gold and silver who work hard, not himself.

Qiu Yu asked in a low voice: "Did you let Jin Yin teach part-time and give money for processing?" ”

Lu Ying: "I didn't add it, but I said that if he can teach these workers to be able to recognize 300 words, I will pick five acres of land in Ding'an County for him to settle down." ”

According to the investigation around Qiongya Island, Lu Ying has figured out that the limit of a strong labor force is to cultivate eight acres of land, which is still assisted by ploughing cattle, under normal circumstances, one acre of land can produce 200 catties to 240 catties of grain, and the climate of Qiongya Island can achieve two crops a year, and a person consumes 240 catties of grain a year.

In the Yu Dynasty, five acres of land meant that gold and silver could not only support themselves, but also their daughters-in-law, and they would settle down and work happily, and the land near Ding'an County could be regarded as fertile

The transportation is also convenient, and there are medical centers and schools in the county.

Lu Ying said that sending five acres of land to settle down is higher than the modern boss saying "Do a good job, do a good job, I will give you a house in a good location".

Qiu Yu: "Jin Yin usually works very hard, right?" ”

Lu Ying replied: "After I signed a deed with him about five acres of land, he only slept for two hours a day, after all, there are more than 100 people in the road crew, and it is very troublesome to teach, I am afraid that he will be tired to death, and Mother Wei will go to find someone again, come over today to see how the road is repaired, and by the way, persuade him to sleep for at least three hours in the future." ”

Qiu Yu's pupils shocked: This boss not only gave five acres of land, but he also cared about the physical and mental health of employees!

Lu Ying sighed again: "I'm also afraid that those road workers can't read and write, and let people give a meal of meat every three days to replenish their brains, the one who cooks is a fellow countryman with gold and silver, called Jinhua, and she is good at arithmetic, I went today to tell her to manage the accounts of the road workers team in the future, and come back at night to teach the women in the county to read and write." ”

Qiu Yu wiped her face: "What are you letting women know for reading?" ”

He knew that Lu Ying had no gender consciousness, let alone a concept of equality, as a child of the Tu Emperor's family, the top level of feudal society, Ying Ying would only enslave everyone equally, so he made women literate definitely not to improve the status of women.

Lu Ying blinked: "Because Ding'an County is my territory, if I want to make more money to help my mother support refugees, I will collect more taxes, so the people will have to have money to hand over to me, so I can't just let women do housework at home and give birth to children, they all have to work to make money, but women's strength and physical strength are not as good as men's, so I have to let them be literate." ”

In order to get rich, Lu Ying did not choose to increase various tax items and frantically exploit the common people, but was determined to make the plate bigger, so for him, the female labor force, which accounts for nearly half of the total population, being trapped at home is equivalent to a loss.

As for the basis for him to make these judgments, it was naturally the pile of brochures he and Qiu Yu had accumulated when they were inspecting everywhere.

Qiu Yu: ......

It is said that three years old looks old, Brother Ying is only seven years old, Qiu Yu actually thinks that this child will not be bad as an emperor in the future.

Lu Ying now lives in the county office, and the county commander Qian Aquan gave him the best room, and Lu Ying was not polite, so he let someone transport a rosewood stepping bed over that day.

Qiu Yu followed him into the house, and saw that the furniture everywhere was sandalwood, the couch was padded with fur, and the windows were replaced with glass.

Even if Lu Ying took all the furniture away when she went home, with only this glass window, the county order would also be earned.

Lu Ying walked into the bed, took out his small wooden box, and opened it, which was full of books, recording the livelihood he saw.

Because he was afraid that Qiu Yu would faint from hunger, he asked people to bring food over and said apologetically: "There is only coarse tea and light rice here, don't you mind." ”

Qiu Yu: "No, clear porridge and small vegetables nourish the stomach and intestines, and big fish and meat are prone to hyperlipidemia and high blood pressure." ”

Lu Ying: "You said that I have low blood pressure, why can't I get low blood pressure, and I can't do it if it's high?" ”

Qiu Yu: "Yes, it doesn't work, everything has to be moderate." ”

Lu Ying also wrote down this moderate sentence in the booklet, and Qian Aquan's personal servant came to deliver the meal in person, he saw that Lu Ying's eyes were full of admiration, and said attentively: "I heard that it was Young Master Sun's friend who came, and the cook specially stewed fish porridge." ”

I saw that in the thick white porridge, there were tender fish fillets, steamed shrimp roe and mixed sauce, ginger slices and pressed juice were added to it, which smelled very fragrant, and then served with a plate of scrambled eggs and a plate of green vegetables and meatball soup.

It is indeed light, but it is very delicious, especially the shrimp meat is very fresh, Qiu Yu takes a bite of it, it is fresh and sweet, superb!

Lu Ying had already eaten lunch, so she rinsed her mouth and lay down on the couch, wanting to take a nap, Qiu Yu also tilted his side after eating, shook off the blanket, and wrapped the two together.

On the small islands near the sea, there is always a sea breeze that carries salty moisture blowing all over the streets, alleys, mountains, forests and fields, and the trees in the courtyard make a rattling sound.

Lu Ying slept for an hour, got up to change clothes, Qiu Yu yawned to help him button up, and asked, "What are you doing in the afternoon?" ”

Lu Ying put on her boots and said softly: "Let's talk to Qian County and ask them." ”

There is a study room behind the county government hall, and now a large round table has been moved in, Lu Ying took Qiu Yu over, and saw the officials coming and going, everyone was walking very fast, and they couldn't wait to run

Come.

When Lu Ying went in, she asked, "Is it sorted out?" ”

Qian Aquan rubbed his eyes: "Okay, okay, the acres of land are measured, and the number of people, gender, and age in this county are all integrated." ”

As he spoke, Qian Aquan pulled out a chair and raised the chair surface, Lu Ying raised her hand, Qiu Yu lifted the villain's house and put it on it, and asked him to sit down.

During this cooperation, Qian Aquan and Qiu Yu looked at each other, and a strange tacit understanding made the two of them realize at the same time that the person opposite was also serving Brother Ying.

Qian Aquan smiled kindly: "My surname is Qian, my name is Aquan, the word Wuchen, the local county order." ”

Qiu Yu: "Autumn, Qiu Yu ......"

Qian Aquan, born in 1297, was admitted to the same Jinshi at the age of nineteen, and was appointed as the commander of Ding'an County, Qiongzhou at the age of twenty, and later followed Brother Ying all the way to the promotion, first as the prefect of Qiongzhou, and then as a subordinate official of the East Palace, and the criminal department, with the ability to judge the case, after Qiu Yu's father was cut for corruption, it was this Qian Lord who took over as the first assistant.

Because Lord Qian is the only one in the Yu Dynasty who climbed to the position of the first assistant as a fellow jinshi, this person is also a legend, and later generations filmed a TV series for him, and even his father helped the poor to fight a lawsuit when he was a teacher, and was drowned in the river pushed by the landlord.

Note: Lord Qian failed to die well in the end, because Ying Ying's half-brother, that is, after Yu Huaizong took the throne, under the pretext of Qian Aquan's corruption, killed the whole family, but when the eunuch trusted by Huaizong went to raid Lord Qian's house, he found that this person's private property was only a grange given by Wuzong in the early years, and dozens of taels of Lu, which was really a clean official.

Later, people learned that when Qian Aquan was the secretary of the Criminal Department, he personally sentenced a case to help a common man who was invaded by the servants of the princess of the vassal to seek justice, and the princess of the vassal was the biological mother of Yu Huaizong.

If there is no wise emperor like Wuzong, it is indeed difficult for an upright official like Qian Aquan to end well.

But I didn't expect that wow, Lord Qian had already become Brother Ying's horse boy in the first year of entering Qiongya Island.

Qiu Yu: Fate.
