People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 34 034: Cui Lushi's Circle of Friends
"I wonder how much the medicinal materials used in the heat-relieving Bamboo Drink you invented cost?" Li Yunguang looked at Cai Xiaolan, he took this issue very seriously.

"They are all common medicines, not expensive!" Cai Xiaolan didn't expect the governor to care about this issue.

"Then I want to ask you to come up with the prescription. Too many people die from heatstroke in summer!" Li Yunguang added at the end, "Don't worry, it will definitely not be free!"

Cai Xiaolan made some calculations in her mind.

She had previously planned to use tea to win the right to operate the tea stalls on Guandao near Yangzhou Prefecture, but she was frustrated that there was no one in charge.And now the biggest official in the entire Yangzhou Prefecture is right in front of him. As long as he mentions it, hand over the formula of Bitter Bamboo Drink, and then run the business with him, in the end, even if it is only [-] cents, he will earn much more money than he does now.

"Since it is a matter of benefiting the people, the daughter of the people will do her part. After the meal, I will write the recipe silently to you. However, I also have a small request..." Cai Xiaolan rolled her eyes, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Li Cishi laughed loudly, "Xiaolan's magnificence is worthy of women! Don't mention a single request, as long as the common people benefit, a thousand, I will agree to you!"

Wang Ji cursed in his heart, "Haha, old fox, what do you mean as long as the common people benefit? In the end, it's not you who has the final say? Don't say a thousand, even ten won't necessarily agree!"

Wang Ji, who had always known Li Yunguang, was worried that Cai Xiaolan would open his mouth.Li Laobao looks like a rough guy on the surface, but in fact he is very sinister and no one can take advantage of him.

"My husband's family only has four acres of land. It's not easy to feed the family."

When Cai Xiaolan said this, Li Yunguang frowned and thought in his mind, "Securing land is not an easy task."

Fortunately, Cai Xiaolan didn't stop talking, only heard her continue: "So I want to dig a well next to the official road and open a tea shop!"

"This idea is instant, the people who come and go just have a rest and have a sip of tea!" Li Yunguang smiled brightly.

"It just requires some procedures..."

"No problem, after you choose the location, I will send an engineering officer to dig a well. As for the formalities, don't worry, I will send someone to Liujiazhuang after the procedures for the tea shop are completed!" In one sentence, Li Yunguang is certainly not stingy.

Everyone in the house was talking around Cai Xiaolan, but Cui Boyan suddenly burst into tears.

"What's wrong with you?" Cai Xiaolan patted him on the back, this was the first time Cai Xiaolan saw Cui Boyan cry.

"I haven't told my mother yet that you were rescued by Mr. Wang. She must still be worried about you. But I am feasting -" Cui Boyan felt very sad when he thought of Cui's mother's hesitation at this time.

"Cui Xiaoyou said it earlier! Ah Da—" Li Yunguang was in a good mood, and his gong-like voice sounded again.

The butler Ada appeared.

Li Yunguang immediately ordered him to pick up Cui Lu.Cui Boyan gave two addresses: the inn and Changcai’s house.

The Nuan Pavilion is a good place to cool off from the heat. Everyone ate slowly, and it took only half an hour. Ada led Cui's mother into the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Cui Lu's eyes swept all over the room, and finally fell on Cai Xiaolan's face, "Xiaolan, how are you? They didn't bully you, did they?"

"No, I was locked up all night, thanks to Master Li's insight." Cai Xiaolan pulled Cui Lushi to sit beside her, and wanted to introduce Li Yunguang to her.Unexpectedly, Master Li was staring at Cui Lushi intently at this moment.

"This..." Cai Xiaolan's mind almost shut down.Li Yunguang looked at Cui Lushi in a very strange way.

"sister in law--"

"Who are you?" Ms. Cui Lu only felt that the person in front of her was kind-hearted. This familiar call of sister-in-law made her panic.

"I, Li Xiaoluo!" Li Yunguang called out another nickname with tears in his eyes.

"puff!"

"puff!"

There were two sounds of spraying rice in succession, and Li Fan and Wang Ji beat their chests desperately.

"Oh, you are Li Xiaoluo!" Cui Lu's frown suddenly opened.When she first married Cui Le, Li Yunguang often followed Cui Le.Because of his broken gong-like voice, he got the reputation of Li Xiaoluo.

"Xiaolan turns out to be your daughter-in-law. No wonder. The more I look at her, the more intimate I feel." Li Yunguang's eyes shone.

Cui Boyan sat on the side, feeling helpless, shouldn't it be the blood relationship that makes him look more and more affectionate?How did it become Cai Xiaolan?

"I have made it difficult for you. I was originally in my hometown and heard that Brother Cui was an official in Chang'an. Later, with great difficulty, he moved his position to Chang'an. As a result, I heard that Brother Cui had a conflict with the saint and was demoted to Lingnan Road. .I……"

A new person has been added to the banquet, so of course it has to continue.Li Yunguang kept Cui's mother for three days before agreeing to let her go back.

"Sister-in-law, don't be too tired when you go to the countryside. If you have any difficulties in life, ask Bo Yan to come to me directly. When Bo Yan grows up, I will get it for you!" Li Yunguang's promise is not small .A hundred acres of land, if you want to buy it all by yourself, you will need at least tens of thousands of copper coins.

After Li Yunguang sent off the Cui family, he returned to the mansion, and the master was already waiting at the door of his study.

"Sir, this is the list of people involved in the case. After the names are the cases involved." The master held up a thick book.

Li Yunguang took it and read it word by word from beginning to end.He was not allowed to ignore it. Every name in it was related to the fate of a family or even a clan.

From the afternoon until he watched the sun completely set, he classified the names of the people in the book in detail according to the seriousness of their violation of the law.

If we really want to dispose of all the people regardless of their seriousness, the Yamen will be empty.

"Lao Gong, go and invite everyone on this list to the side hall." Li Yunguang hesitated for a long time before drawing up a list of personnel.The people here have made some mistakes, but they are all greedy and petty.Some people are relatively timid, and some people have a bottom line in doing things.

In the mind of Inspector Li, these people are more useful than upright officials.If you are timid, you will know something to be in awe of; having a bottom line means acting with principles.Just like a rusty kitchen knife, it can still be used after simple forging.

On the other side, there is a list of those who have committed the most heinous crimes.When the list was set up, Li Yunguang had already written a note calling for arrest.

"It's just that I didn't expect that Zeng Wenchang, who likes to make money, has done very little evil, while the taciturn judge has done a lot of evil." Li Yunguang rubbed the back of his head.The large-scale clean-up work of government offices has interpreted the old saying "people's hearts are separated from their belly" to the extreme.

……

The side hall finally returned to tranquility, and the people in the room wandered away.They walked on the street with the sound of the gong still playing in their heads.Don't talk about committing crimes in the future, even if someone uses eight sedan chairs to carry them, they will not agree.

"My lord, we should be able to relax for a while with this one!" Master Gong, who was also suffering from the magic sound piercing through his ears, let out a long sigh of relief.

"Who said that? If you want to make some political achievements, eliminating the bad apples is only the first step. Now that the entire Central Plains region has stabilized, it is a good time to vigorously develop. There is one thing that needs you to take the lead in completing. I will deploy the engineering department, Hu Ke cooperates with you." Li Yunguang handed over the tea shed plan he had written to Master Gong for him to complete.

　There is no manuscript saved, so it’s all written now.There will be some mistakes, and I need your help to correct them.

　　In addition, thanks to Xiaoer-DB, 50323, Miki 1985 and other readers for their recommendation votes, thank you!
