Dress up as a hot farm wife, take care of her cubs and raise her husband to farm

After being married for many years, Mrs. Xiao knew that her husband was angry, so she quickly changed her words and said:

"Husband, don't worry, I didn't mean that. As the saying goes, 'Marrying a virtuous wife will lead to prosperity for three generations.' I also want our Xiao family to get better and better. My second brother has no son-in-law, and both houses depend on Qinglin alone, so this Clan wife..."

"Then we can't fix the daughter of the Gu and Su families!"

"Yes, yes, I may, I may not, but it all depends on my husband." Mrs. Xiao quickly promised.

She didn't know what happened to the four major families in the capital back then. Anyway, there was no one left on her cousin's side, only the Xiao family, who were very distant relatives.

Xiao Song looked at his wife quietly, and then spoke after a long time:

"Remember, our Xiao family is not a wealthy family, let alone an aristocratic family. We are looking for a wife for Lin'er, not a clan wife for the Xiao family. Let's not get involved in the child's marriage. Just let the brother-in-law make the decision in the capital. "

"...Yes, I listen to my husband."

Mrs. Xiao nodded calmly, not seeing anything strange, but there were mixed feelings in her heart.

She didn't want to live in the cold north, but her husband was stationed here, so she had to come. The only son was far away in the capital, and she was already worried about everything. Now that she couldn't even decide on the marriage, how could she still be considered the wife of the head of the family?

Xiao Song stood up after drinking the chicken soup and said calmly:

"There are still some official matters to be handled in the study, so I'll go over there first."

"...Oh, okay, I will give you to my husband."

Mrs. Xiao took his arm and came out. She didn't stamp her feet in annoyance until he was out of sight.

"Madam, don't be upset, the master is really busy." The mother-in-law came over, helped her into the house and said, "Madam, now you are the only one in the Xiao family's back house, so you should take good care of the master. As for the eldest young master, don't worry. There are the emperor and two gentlemen."

"What are you talking about? As a mother, can't I plan for my children?"

"Of course you can. Madam is the most qualified." The mother-in-law coaxed her with a good temper. "What I mean is that the master has been very tired in the military camp recently. It will be difficult to catch a cold in this cold weather. Madam should pay more attention to the master. , it’s rare to come back.”

After all, it was the old man who had always been by her side and comforted her with just a few words.

Mrs. Xiao also understood that her husband went to the study because he was angry, so she said "Alas" and asked:

"Are there any soaked lotus seeds left in the kitchen?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that the master is coming back today, so I specially prepared some."

Xiao Song and his wife have been together for so many years, so they naturally have their own way of getting along as husband and wife. I made a Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup when I was annoyed, and it never worked.

In the study, Xiao Song looked at the letter sent by the guard and narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a long time, he called Chang Sui in, handed him the letter and said:

"Now set out to send the letter to the northern capital city and hand it over to Mr. Li personally. If he asks me what I want here, just tell him, 'Let nature take its course, don't be far away, don't be close.'"

"Yes."

Chang Sui turned around and came out. When he saw the mistress of the house walking this way, he stopped and bowed his hands, waiting for others to enter the study before leaving quickly.

We drove at high speed all the way without any delay, and there was a blizzard in the middle of the night.

The snowstorm lasted for five days and four nights, once again blocking the usual official roads. The stewards of the Street Department almost cried.

Although it snowed in winters in previous years, it didn't matter if the official road was accessible, and no one cared about it if it couldn't. But things are different now. Mr. Fu Yin now pays attention to the traffic conditions of official roads, county roads, and rural roads.

One year after Li Fuyin took office, the workload of their subdistrict department was more than ten times that of the previous five years. Especially if the mutual trade between the two dynasties is still flowing smoothly, if it really delays the caravan's entry into the city, he, the street chief, will not have to do it.

Standing next to Li Hui's desk, he cried and complained, saying that there were not enough manpower and not enough tools. Anyway, there were various objective reasons. Of course, he did not shirk his responsibilities and actively admitted his mistakes.

"...I hope your Lordship will forgive me. I really know that I was wrong. Please help me. I will definitely do a good job in the future. If it happens again, I can do whatever you want to do with me. I have no choice but to do something wrong." Complain.”

Li Hui didn't say a word after hearing what he said. He twirled the teacup with one hand and said after a while:

"Okay, since you said that, I will give you a chance. Go to the household to find Zhang Dianli and ask him to get everything you need first. As for the manpower... the Yamen will lend you the rest first. Be there later."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir, thank you so much..."

"Don't thank me, let's go get some work done."

After Song Yuansi left the office, Shen Jue came over and suggested:

"Sir, do you want to hire people to clear the snow? For three coppers a day, someone should be able to do it."

"You said there will be people, so don't alarm the people. Assign tasks to the counties and towns below. No more beggars are allowed in the city. Once discovered, it will be their dereliction of duty and will be recorded in the year-end evaluation."

"My lord, what you mean is...high, you are still the best."

Shen Jue was so impressed that he hurriedly went to Mou Haibin and others to discuss the matter.

There are many beggars in the northern state capital, and most of them are strong laborers. This kind of people will support themselves as long as they do some work, but they are too lazy to do it.

There used to be a group of beggars in the dilapidated temple in the north of the city, and after picking and choosing, they were all settled. In less than a year, they gathered again, and they also had a headache.

Winter is the best time for cold syndrome to break out. What happened when they regained lost ground last year is still fresh in their minds, so they have to take precautions.

"...My lord, I plan to send these beggars to the street department to clear the official roads in the winter, and clean and repair the official roads in the summer. Three coppers a day for food and shelter. It's a lot of money for processing, but it's not good. Keep working hard and give them some stability.”

Chen Dianli felt it was reliable, but there were also some potential problems.

"Sir Tongzhi, what should we do about the female beggar?"

"Bring the female beggars out alone. There will be a place to put them. Sir, please let us count the number of people."

Mou Haibin was still worried and reminded him loudly:

"Shen Tongzhi, these beggars have not bathed or changed clothes for a long time, and it is unknown whether they are sick or not."

"Don't worry about this. Take them to Mrs. Li's medicine hall to see a doctor. The good news will not go to outsiders. They have free clinics every month to benefit the people in the city. Now that there is business, the Yamen will naturally take care of them.

I went down to discuss with Qingshuixing and packed up the Qingshuixing for tonight. They bathed, changed clothes, packed up, and started working quickly tomorrow. The caravan must not be affected. "

They all know what kind of conditions the caravan has brought to the northern state capital since the official roads were repaired.

Let's not talk about other things, let's talk about the big car shop and the canteen. The tax revenue of these two places is the total amount of the past few years. There is no need to think about their salary extension this year, it must be sufficient.

The task of counting beggars had to be done by Mou Haibin himself. Together with the jailer of the torture chamber, he took the left-behind yamen officer to the north of the city to count the beggars.

In short, it’s just one sentence: There can’t be beggars in the city of Beijingzhou!
