Collect crowd into immortals

Busy time always flies by very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, one month has passed.

Compared with before, Rouyun County today has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The first is the county government.

At the insistence of the county magistrate Chen Chuanguang, the second half of the county government office was completely bulldozed and a large square of dozens of acres was built.

Opposite the main square is a row of simple and elegant octagonal buildings.

The octagonal building has three floors, and each floor is filled with densely packed tables and stools.

In the center of the octagonal building, there is a circular window for serving food and rice.

Whenever workers come here to eat, they always eat in the center, and then spread out to the edges of the octagonal building to eat.

Yes, these octagonal buildings are the workers' canteens.

At this moment, the doorways of many octagonal buildings were hung with red lanterns and red silk.

At the same time, in the large square in front of the gate, gongs and drums were beating loudly, lion and dragon dances were competing to appear, and it was a joyful scene.

Because these busy workers all know that the canteens in front of them belong to them and were specially built by the county magistrate to feed them.

After hearing the news, they could not hold back. They spontaneously gathered more than ten lion and dragon dance teams on the opening day of the canteen to express their happiness as much as possible.

At a certain moment, firecrackers blasted in front of the canteen and gongs and drums roared, bringing the entire celebration to a climax.

"Everyone, the canteen has been opened, let us enjoy the fruits of our labor together!"

"Long live the County Magistrate! Long live the County Magistrate!"

Amid cheers, the workers entered the canteen in an orderly manner and began to enjoy their own food.

Yes, this delicacy is also their own.

Because the county magistrate said that this is the fruit of their own labor and should belong to them.

Although the workers felt that the magistrate was too generous and treated them too well, the magistrate said that they deserved it and it was the grace of the legendary sage himself.

If anyone has any objections to this, just accept it directly.

You must know that this is the Holy Lord. Although they cannot cultivate immortality, they still know about the Holy Lord.

170 years ago, it was the Holy King who led the brave and fearless Fu Guards, killing everyone and upholding justice for them. From then on, their lives became easier.

At least, those cultivating immortal families no longer dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and no longer dare to bully them unscrupulously.

Not long after that, everyone in Shengjun listened to Shengjun's call and directly helped them fertilize their fields, help them compost, and gave them technology, so that they would be away from hunger.

Although it is said that not everyone can eat white rice, clear oil, and pork, at least it is not a problem to eat enough.

Because of this, although almost none of them have seen the Holy King, and no real portrait of the Holy King has been exposed to the public, in fact, they all enshrine the Holy King's portrait at home.

Although it was just a faceless portrait, it was enough to explain their thoughts.

Now, the Shengjun's family appeared again and built a canteen for them so that they could eat delicious food. They were convinced of it.

After all, except for the Holy Lord, no one was so kind to them.

“Everyone, I will announce two more things.

The first is that our garment workshop has produced results. We have made a batch of clothes and shoes. After dinner, everyone can go there and each person can receive a set and a pair of cloth shoes.

If all the labor in the family is here, you can get one set for children and the elderly.

In addition, all labor pacesetters and model workers can receive another set.

Second, our academy has been built, and the printing and paper mills have been prepared. Starting from tomorrow, anyone who has all their family work here can send their children to the academy to study.Moreover, all reading is free, and food is also free like here! "

"Really free?"

"Of course this is true! We built the academy and the paper mill ourselves, and they belong to us as well. If we study in our own academy, what tuition fees do we need? Don't you think so?"

"Long live the County Magistrate! Long live the County Magistrate!"

For a moment, the shouts filled the sky and the earth, almost causing the canteen to collapse!
This county magistrate deserves to be from the Shengjun family. He just loves them and loves them.

For a time, everyone's gratitude to Shengjun, the Chen family, Lianhu Island, and the county magistrate was like a torrential river, flowing endlessly.

……

But while they are like this, the wealthy families in the city are in a state of gloom and gloom.

East of the city, Zhao Mansion.

Mr. Zhao was fishing by the pond. Suddenly, the housekeeper rushed over from the door.

"Sir, what's wrong, the canteen over there is open for business!"

"When it's open, it's open. Didn't the county magistrate already say that!"

"Master, you don't know that the county magistrate also announced today that all workers can go to their garment workshop to receive a set of clothes and shoes. He also said that if all the workers in the family are there, the whole family can receive it. .

Master, if he does this, our garment factory will be doomed! "

"Then what can we do? The original Xiuxian family was scared away, and even the county magistrate was willing to give up his position as county magistrate. What can we do?"

"Then, then, we have to do it! Master, our restaurant has not been open for half a month, and now even the garment shop has been abandoned. By the way, I heard that schools, academies, and He said he could study for free.

Master, our school is also in ruins.

This, our family doesn’t have much left! "

"Aren't there jewelry shops and pawn shops?"

"Master, the jewelry store's business is almost over. There are only three or two orders every day, and they are getting less and less.

As for the pawn shop, no one came at all, and the shopkeeper below was planning to lay off employees. "

When Mr. Zhao heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he could only pretend to be calm.

He belongs to the Saint King family, and there are cultivators backing him up. What can he do?
What's more, they didn't steal or rob, they just gave benefits to the people. He couldn't go up and reprimand the other party for his charitable actions, right?
This is unrealistic!

Hey, with the current situation, I can only endure it for now.

As long as the children of the Chen family stop making trouble, the Zhao family will still be the Zhao family.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw another person walking in at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Wu Ma, is something wrong?"

"master……"

Wu Ma hesitated for a long time before telling her the purpose of her visit.

"What, you said you quit?"

"Master, my grandson is already eight years old. It will be too late if he doesn't go to school..."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhao almost understood what Wu Ma meant, "Okay, okay, I understand! The county has issued a ransom order, just go to the accounting office and pay enough money!"

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

After thanking her, she turned around and Wu Ma was immediately beaming with joy.

Now, her little baby can finally go to school and study.As for her, she can also eat white rice and fried vegetables that have been cooked with oil.

As she thought about it, Wu Ma's footsteps became more and more brisk.

Sensing this, Mr. Zhao's beard trembled again.

He had a hunch that this matter was not over yet.

Sure enough, before he could finish this thought, several more figures jumped out of the door.

"Master, my father is sick and has to be taken care of. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you anymore, so please forgive me!" "Master, I broke my arm. The doctor said I can't work anymore, so I have to go home to take care of him." !”

"Master, my sister-in-law gave birth and my mother asked me to go home and take care of her. I may not be able to serve my wife anymore!"

"master……"

All of a sudden, all the reasons that he had heard and those he had not heard poured into Mr. Zhao's ears, making him extremely annoyed.

If you want to punish these domestic slaves who are adding insult to injury, the county government has issued a decree saying that everyone has human rights and prohibiting corporal punishment on anyone.

Once discovered, deal with it seriously!

Do you want to refuse? The county government also has a "Redemption Order". It says that as long as the person who sells his body requests it, he must agree to the redemption. The redemption fee to be paid during the redemption process is also announced by the county government. Basically, as long as he works You can make money every year.

Mr. Zhao once opposed this together with the big families in the city, but to no avail.

Because this is not only the case in Rouyun County, but also in all cities on Baoyuan Island.

Under this huge pressure, they could only compromise.

Originally, they thought that they could tie up these slaves with wages, but now it seems that this is not possible!
After thinking about it, Mr. Zhao waved his hand, "Okay, okay, everyone, go down and go to the accounting office to pay!"

"Thank you sir!"

"Thank you sir!"

Seeing that Mr. Zhao agreed, the maids and waitresses, who had been crying for their fathers and mothers just now, suddenly became beaming with joy and ran out of the courtyard as fast as they could.

As a result, before Mr. Zhao could come to his senses, he saw their accountant hurriedly walking over.

"master……"

"Lao Yu, are you leaving too?"

After hearing this, the accountant was silent for a long time and then said: "Sir, my mother hasn't changed her clothes for several years. I..."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhao ordered the butler beside him: "Lao Lu, go and get some pieces of cloth for Lao Yu!"

"Master, no need! No need!"

"Then it's about children going to school? How about you take your child over and let him go to school with Teng'er and the others? Teng'er's teacher is a great scholar in our city, not much better than over there!"

"Sir..." Mr. Accountant didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Still worried? In this case, you can bring your mother, your wife, and your children over. Our house is big enough to accommodate you. We live together, so you won't have to leave, right?"

"Master, this... I'll think about it!"

Seeing this, Mr. Zhao increased his stakes again, "Don't think about it. I have a yard on the outskirts of the city and I don't go there much. The yard is not big. It's just right for your family of seven!"

Upon hearing this, the accountant no longer hesitated, but asked: "Sir, what about the redemption of those people just now?"

"It's all approved! It's just people, we have plenty of them!"

"It's my lord!"

Mr. Accountant finished speaking and left in a hurry.

Just as he reached the door, a hint of words reached his ears.

"Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged toads are everywhere. Lao Yu, think about it yourself!"

When Mr. Accountant heard this, his steps became heavier.

He doesn't know whether this choice is right or wrong, but even if it is wrong, he has received enough reward, which is enough.

……

But that afternoon, after finishing all the day's work, the accountant slumped on the wicker chair like rotten meat with the marrow removed.

Because on this day alone, one-third of their servants from the Zhao Mansion ran away.

The remaining ones who didn't run away were either borrowing money to collect the ransom fee or asking for leave to go back to find out the news.

This situation made Lao Yu feel unsure.

He seriously suspected that he simply made the wrong choice.

In the evening, when it was time to eat, his feeling increased even more.

Because there was actually one missing dish in the evening.

From the original two dishes to one.

Even the dishes for the master and his wife were much less.

After careful questioning, I learned that there were vegetables, but no one was cooking them. Most of the work in the kitchen was done by the cook, so it was enough to have these for food.

In this regard, Lao Yu could only eat and think about the food in the county government cafeteria.

I heard that there is enough food there, so you can eat as much as you want.

Even after a plate of stir-fried vegetables is finished, you can add more as you like.

Thinking of this, Lao Yu felt that the food in his mouth was even more tasteless.

Not only that, at night, he had to endure his wife's complaints, saying that he made the wrong choice and shouldn't stick to this side for the sake of immediate benefits.

In this regard, Lao Yu has a hard time saying.

He didn't expect this to happen either.

He originally thought that even if it was really good over there, it could still be maintained here, but now it has ended up like this.

Can you blame him for this?
……

Soon, it was the next day.

Early the next morning, I had just finished washing up and was going to the kitchen to eat. But on the way, the accountant Yu heard something he didn't want to hear again.

"Hey, hey, have you seen it? The clothes are so beautiful. They are colorful and colorful, but they don't make those people look so beautiful!"

"I've seen it too. It's simply better than what the ladies and ladies wear. The magistrate and his wife are too generous!"

"I heard that they do two haircuts every year. When the workshop expands in the future, they will continue to do so!"

"That's great!"

"Also, you haven't seen the shoes. They are as thick as your thumb. I heard that you can't drive a nail into them. When you step on stones, it's as if you haven't stepped on them. You can't feel them at all, and they can't hurt your feet!"

"I've seen it too. The boy next door to my house ran so happily in those cloth shoes! He was like crazy!"

"..."

After hearing this, the accountant Lao Yu felt that he was in a worse mood.

He always felt that that courtyard was not worth it at all!

Thinking of this, he coughed quickly, "Cough! Cough!"

The discussion in the courtyard immediately subsided, but within a moment, it grew louder again.

Anyway, they now have the protection of the "Human Personal Persons Act", so they are not afraid of being beaten or punished.

Seeing this, Accountant Lao Yu sighed helplessly, then went to the kitchen to get a few buns, and then went to the accounting room.

As a result, not long after he sat down, a group of young guys and girls came running over.

"Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu, we are also here to redeem ourselves. This is our redemption fee!"

Lao Yu said: "..."
