After Xiao Qinglin finished saying what he needed to say, he took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and placed them on the table.

"Sister-in-law, this is the share for the second half of the year. It's a bit much, so don't be surprised. The small shed you let us support has become really popular this year, and we all made a lot of money. I'm leaving first. My mother is the only one at home. I have to go back and help she."

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have come today, but he was anxious to see them and wanted to tell them the news he had learned, so he came in a hurry regardless of his mother's objections.

When Cheng Xue saw this, she didn't hold him back, and she and Li Hui kept sending the person to the car.

There were four chickens, two ducks, and two geese in the car.They are all homemade and delicious.

Xiao Qinglin thanked Bai Rui and drove away. The two returned to the room. Li Hui couldn't hide his joy and held Cheng Xue's hand tightly.

"With corn next year, people won't have to go hungry."

Cheng Xue understood his happiness, but she didn't forget to remind him not to act too hastily, but to take time to figure it out.After all, this thing was shipped from South Vietnam.

Seeing that he knew what he was doing, she felt free to write the letter.Jiang Jianye must be told as soon as possible that the villagers serving as soldiers in southern Xinjiang are all well and safe.

The five children were all disappointed when they didn't see Xiao Qinglin when they came back.Relationships come from childhood. He almost grew up in Li Hui's house, and the children are very close to him.

The convoy arrived the next day, carrying a lot of things, mainly cotton-padded clothes for the winter.What other frozen meats, dried fish, candles, hairpins...

These were all purchased by Zhou Fang's wife, and there were five cartloads of cotton-padded clothes.The letter said that a lot of preparations had been made, but after learning that Xiao Song had already taken all the supplies when he came, he told the ladies to stop and do it next year.

The letter also detailed the business progress of the shabu-shabu house and sent this year's banknotes.

With two windfalls in hand, Cheng Xue finally felt her waist become slightly stiffer.

The cotton-padded clothes are no longer used at home, so some are set aside. The rest are donated to the government in the name of "Express Inn", and the government will distribute them to the people in need...

……

After Li Hui joined the government office, he went out early and came back late every day, like a spinning top.

He works so hard every day, and most of the people under him dare not leave early.

Shen Jue is full of energy and wants to do something big, so he actively cooperates these days and does whatever he is asked to do, and does it quickly and well.

Mou Haibin followed him out for inspection and already understood his temper.Therefore, there is no need to give instructions for summarizing and categorizing, just lead people to do it directly.

Even the third class of yamen officers compiled the cases that had been backlogged for many years. The cases that could be settled were immediately closed, and the cases that could not be settled were recorded and reported by the clerk.

Only Fan Chengfang, as a co-worker, should be second only to Li Hui in terms of busyness, but he happens to start work at the same time and leave at the same time. If he stays for an extra minute, he is not performing properly.The only things he did were sketching, copying and other chores, and Li Hui didn't talk about him anyway.

Whenever he saw Shen Jue, Mou Haibin and others gathered at their desks, he felt complacent and thought they were as stupid as pigs.

After several days, the actual resident population in the northern state capital was finally sorted out.The actual cultivated land area within the territory has also been fully liquidated.

This project is indeed not small. Mou Haibin, Shen Jue and others have lost weight visibly to the naked eye.Even the officials had dark eyes and poor spirits.On the contrary, Fan Chengfang not only gained weight, but also had a rosy face.

Li Hui handed the newly written farmland distribution system to Shen Jue and asked him to follow up on the distribution.

He is a Jinshi who has passed the serious scientific examination. Since he is determined to make progress, he has no reason to suppress him.

He looked at the hourglass, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"I'll come here today and start sorting out the debts owed to other states tomorrow. After sorting it out, Mou Tongpan will summarize it and hand it over to the court. We will listen to the arrangements for compensation." After saying this, Shen Jue immediately got up and opened the cabinet to get it. Mou Haibin got a new account book, and the clerks prepared their abacus, but no one was off work anyway.

Summarizing debts is no small task, and it is conservatively estimated to take seven days.Xiaonian sealed it on time, they couldn't waste time.

In the previous dynasty, there were often borrowings between state capitals. As long as it was easy to borrow and repay privately, the court mostly turned a blind eye.Liang Yan doesn't know if it's possible. I think there are some, but there probably won't be such a large amount as in the north.The six-digit debt is owed only to Zhanzhou, not to other states.

Fan Chengfang was about to leave. When he heard this, he went over to remind him:

"Master Li, all borrowings between state governments are done privately. As long as you borrow and repay, there is no need to alert the court."

Li Hui relaxed on the back of his chair, tapped his fingers on the table as usual, and asked:

"Does this debt have anything to do with me?"

"It has nothing to do with you, but you are the governor of the northern state..."

"It doesn't matter who I am, just tell me whether the debt was borrowed by me."

Fan Chengfang shook his head.

"Since I didn't borrow it from you, what's wrong with me reporting it to the court?"

Certainly not!
Fan Chengfang explained patiently:

"This debt has nothing to do with you, but this debt was borrowed by the Northern Prefecture and other prefectures, and it has to be repaid by the Northern Prefecture. If the head of Wenjiao had allowed the officials to withhold half of the grain last time..."

"Fart -" Li Hui slapped the table and scolded, "Withholding half of the grain is easy for you to say. That grain is what people rely on to fill their stomachs. Why don't you say that you will deduct half of your salary to pay off the debt?"

"Can this be the same?"

"Why is it different? It's okay to deduct the people's food, but not your salary? Who stipulated it! Also, the one who calls the shots in the north now is my official. Whatever I say, you will do what you do. If you don't accept it, go to Beijing to impeach me! "

"Here we go again, here we go again. If I say this every time I ignore you, shouldn't I make up my mind that we won't write a booklet?" Fan Chengfang was not happy either.

You always use this as a blackmail, what the hell.

No reason?Did he ignore it?Li Hui quit working completely.

Seeing that the "war" was about to break out, Shen Jue and Mou Haibin quickly pulled each other to start a fight.

"Master Li, please calm down. Master Fan also has good intentions. After all, it is not a glorious thing for Fucheng to be in debt. Try to avoid others knowing about it."

"Master Li, calm down the fire." After Shen Jue said that, he pulled off Fan Chengfang's sleeves and said, "Master Fan, please stop saying a few words. Master Li is also doing it for the good of the state capital. The North owes Zhanzhou a full 30 taels of silver. , this debt cannot be repaid by deducting half of the grain."

"How could I not know this? If I don't buckle, I will never pay it back."

After Fan Chengfang finished speaking, he sighed and spoke softly to Li Hui in a dignified manner——

"Master Li, you are the official of the Northern Territory. Once the Northern Territory is burdened with 'debts that are not repaid', your face will be disgraceful. Half of the grain will be deducted this year, and then deducted again next year, and again the year after that. Add up a little and add up." Pay it off. I know you feel sorry for the people, but the people can't just share our joys and sorrows with us!"

"I'm going to fuck you, uncle!" Li Hui directly swore, "Sharing joys and sorrows? Tell me when the people in the northern border shared sorrows with the state government! In the entire government office, you have stayed the longest. Why don't you explain to me?" Be confused."
