"Hey, okay, I'll go back right away." Fan Chengfang was filled with joy, cupped his hands, and Le Diandian left.

Bai Dianli didn't finish the bean buns in his bowl, so he could only watch him go, feeling worried.

Just as he was thinking about how to remind Fan Chengfang, someone touched his arm. When he turned around, he saw that it was Shen Jue.

"Master Shen, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Jue nodded.

"You probably won't be able to come back until the year before you go out this time, so please leave the key to the house."

If someone else asks for it, Bai Dianli will not give it to him. After all, those accounts cannot withstand scrutiny.But Shen Jue had always defended Fan Tongzhi since he came to this place. He only thought for a moment before getting up and getting the key.

Li Hui ignored the two of them, but used the excuse of "bean paste stuffing" to get everyone talking.

Most of the officials in the government office were born and raised in the north, except Shen Jue.Therefore, everyone has a special liking for bean buns, sauerkraut, etc.

Some say the bean paste filling is too complicated, while others say the adzuki bean filling is a bit rough.Anyway, you can talk about anything and the atmosphere is very good.

Bai Dianli ate two bean buns before standing up to leave.Before leaving, he took a deep look at Shen Jue. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but he just felt angry.

After dinner, everyone continued to work. Shen Jue came to Li Hui's desk and put down what he had written, as well as the bunch of keys.

Although the government office only has an office building like this, it is the government office after all. If there are no conditions, we have to create conditions. Use screens to create a private space, which can be regarded as independent work.

Li Hui saw that what was written on the paper was about tax payment, so he couldn't help but pick it up and read it carefully.

Liangyan has clear regulations on land tax, shop tax, road tax, etc., but the northern border has not followed them.There is no other reason than poverty, especially in the past few years when bandits have been rampant.Now that the mountain bandits have been wiped out, the mutual trade has been opened again, and the number of caravans traveling to and from the north is increasing day by day, many things need to be planned carefully.

"I heard that the garrison camp will build barracks next spring. Behind them are some pieces of land selected by the superior officer. Do you think it will work?"

"Okay, I'll take a look."

After Li Hui finished speaking, he continued to read the content on the paper.

Through observation these days, Shen Jue is obviously more active than before. It seems that he is also a smart person and knows which end is lighter and which is heavier.What he wrote was quite satisfactory, and it also echoed the current development of the northern border. Li Hui decided to give him a chance.

"The writing is good. We will implement it this way after the new year. Someone will write it into an official document and post it before the new year."

Shen Jue was startled when he heard the words, but he reacted after a moment, his eyes glowing.

"You...you really want me to do it?"

"What else?" Li Hui chuckled, "Since you have figured out what you want to do, I have no reason to suppress you. Besides, it is simply unrealistic for such a large state capital to rely on me alone. As long as the starting point is to benefit the people, I will No one will stop me."

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Li Hui knocked on the key and said nothing. Shen Jue was a sensible person and immediately picked up the cabinet that took people to the room where they opened an account.

All the books in the six rooms have their own cabinets.Especially the family room takes up the most cabinets.

Everyone was busy until three o'clock in the morning. Li Hui stretched his waist, came out of the partition and said:
"Let's stop here today and continue tomorrow. So many debts cannot be completed overnight, so don't hate the debt."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Li for your sympathy."

When Mou Haibin spoke, everyone else followed suit, then packed up their things as quickly as possible and left the Yamen.Li Hui left in no hurry. Wen Xi went into the house to check and made sure there was no fire before walking to his side.

"Master, you can go."

"After Bai Dianli left, did you send someone to follow him?"

"Back to the master, Yongxi followed. He didn't go home, but went to Fan's house first."

"How long did you stay?" "Sir, I stayed for half an hour." Yongxi came from the darkness and answered, "Shortly after Bai Dianli left, Shan Chen went to Fan's house. He stayed until the beginning of Xu Shi , there has been no movement since returning home, Cheng Xi is watching over there."

Li Hui nodded, yawned and said:
"Thank you for your hard work. The Shan family will continue to send people to keep an eye on it. Remember to go to Tiandong for the ten taels of silver as payment for the night's hard work."

"Yes, thank you sir."

Cheng Xi agreed without any politeness. After following him for a long time, he knew that he was a protective character.

I would rather suffer a loss myself than let the people under me suffer the cold.

After passing through the Moon Gate, you will see the main house in the back is lit up again.

At this moment, Li Hui felt warm all over his body, and a sense of belonging arose spontaneously.

No wonder his father always said that he should marry a wife and start a family. It turns out that "home" is really a heart-warming thing.

He opened the door and entered the house, stepping lightly. Unexpectedly, Cheng Xue was not sleeping at all. He was leaning against the fire wall and reading medical books.

Seeing him come back, he lifted up the quilt and got down to the ground. He walked over and helped him take off his cloak.

"Are you hungry? I've simmered ginseng chicken soup on the charcoal stove, put some wolfberries, jujubes and hazelnut mushrooms. I'll serve it to you."

Li Hui said "hmm" and went to wash his hands.

No matter how late he comes back every day, his wife will wait for him.Not only that, but it also becomes stewed chicken soup, stewed duck soup, and stewed bone soup.

Looking at the quiet, gentle and busy woman, he couldn't remember the last time he pampered her.He was so busy during this period that he didn't even have time to do his favorite things.

"How are you at home today? How many sticky bean buns did you make?"

"I didn't pack much. Excluding the food for dinner, there are more than 100 left." Cheng Xue replied with a smile.

With a large family, these more than 100 bean buns can only feed three meals at most.

"You quarreled with Fan Chengfang today? Didn't you whip him?"

"No, I'm a civilized person."

Li Hui laughed as he spoke and took a mouthful of chicken soup into his mouth.

Don't tell me, it tastes really good, it was made by her.

There were only two of them in the room, so there was no need to worry about talking.

"Have you ever cooked for yourself after the night shift?"

Cheng Xue shook her head, sat opposite him, and said:
"How can I cook for myself when I don't want to move after work every day? I have nothing to do now, and you are so busy, so I have to take care of you. How does it taste? Is it salty?"

"Just right, try it."

With that said, Li Hui handed over the spoon, and Cheng Xue drank from his hand, narrowing her eyes with a smile.

She had always known that she was a good cook, but today's soup was really good, with a moderate saltiness and a pleasant aroma.

After drinking up all the chicken soup in a small casserole, Li Hui was sweating profusely. He simply washed up, put on brocade pajamas, and took a rest on the kang with his wife in his arms.

Cheng Xue asked him to lie down as usual, and then kneaded his shoulders and back according to the acupuncture points. This was done every day these days.

As long as the pressure was comfortable, Li Hui would "hum" twice without shyness, and then Cheng Xue would pretend to be angry and pat him on the back, reminding him to stop.

In the past, she would restrain herself after taking pictures. Who would have thought that after taking pictures today, she would ignore her, turn over and pin her down, and move her hands up and down...
