"Someone in the village is beating a gong!" The village woman pushed her man excitedly, "Go, go and listen."

The man was helpless: "You also have shoes to wear now. There are more than one pair of shoes at home. Let's go together."

The village woman touched the back of her head: "Hey, I forgot this."

This is not the time when the family had only one clothes and one pair of shoes to meet people.

Seeing that the people were almost there, the village yelled loudly: "Here is someone from above! He said he wants to build a road and a bridge! He wants to build a waterwheel!"

The expressions of the people below changed instantly. This was for service. They didn't have money to get them, and they didn't necessarily care about being full. They had no place to cry when they died.

At this time, the village said: "I said, three meals a day! They are all dry! I have enough! You still have monthly money! The harder you work, the more monthly money!"

"The one who builds the road depends on which one to build!"

Muramasa's mouth was dry, and his wife brought him a bowl of water to moisturize his throat, so he could continue to say: "At least fifty dollars a month!"

Only then did the people below chatter.

“It’s a bit harder to build roads, but if you have money, you can get more than farming. It’s not a busy farming, and the living wife at home can take care of it.”

"That is, if I want me, I won't make fifty big money. I have to make at least one hundred big money up. Maybe I can return from work and rebuild the house."

A bunch of heads came together to discuss.

Muramasa said again: "Not everyone can go. You need to have a sound limb, fifteen years old and under 40 years old, whoever signs up first, I will report who first, you go back to discuss with your family.

"It's all gone. Come to see me before dark when I'm going. The registration time is only three days. After three days, there will be no show."

Someone shouted, "Muramasa, are you going to your house?"

The village was filled with a bowl of water: "Go, my three sons, all three! I have earned money to repair the house, and then come back with my daughter-in-law!"

"Go to the village at home, then I will go too!"

"I'll go as well!"

"Mura Masa! Do you want a girl?"

The questioner is an orphan, and she has no fields. She makes money by weaving rattan baskets in the village. Sometimes she goes to the laundry room in the town to work. If a farmer in the village asks someone to help her, she can just give some corn Or something like beans, life is very embarrassing.

She lives in a thatched hut and adopted an orphan a few days ago. The orphan was only four or five years old. Her parents died while fleeing, and she has lived on the relief of the east and the west.

The orphan saw him pitiful, so she let him stay at home.

Although everyone in the village laughed that she had found a child husband for herself, they all knew that she was not easy.

Someone next to her said: "You little girl, still grabbing food from a man?"

The orphan girl looked at him: "Men want to eat, and women want to eat. Everyone is grabbing food under the hands of the Lord."

Someone laughed: "Er Pillar, you can't tell her."

Mura Masa coughed: "Girls are fine, but girls are not paid as much as men, unless the foreman decides to do more after starting work before they can withdraw monthly payment."

Orphan: "Then I'll go, Muramasa, you write down my name."

Murata sighed, "Aren't you looking at your doll?"

The orphan girl shook her head: "I didn't die from starvation. He came here without me before. I earn more money and send him to the town to study."

People around said: "It doesn't happen to your brother, you are not afraid that he will grow up and ignore you?"

The orphan said firmly: "My parents are gone, so are his parents. They are all alive by themselves. I treat him as a relative, and I don't want him to return me in the future."

"Then I'll go too! I'm a big man, I'm not as bold as a little girl? Tell me a joke!"

"Go, I'll go too!"

The village Zheng remembered the names one by one, but still said: "Go back and discuss with your family again, lest the mother-in-law disagrees."

"My mother-in-law just listens to me, I say one she dare not say two!"

"Zhao San, can you really say, who was driven out of the house by the wife in the middle of the night last month and went to Tiankan to sit for a night by herself?"

Zhao San blushed: "Don't talk nonsense! I thought it was hot in the house!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao San stared at each other, but couldn't.

He finally married a daughter-in-law, with a round face, a blushing face, a sweet and soft voice, and not squeamish, and his work was also clever.

Where is he willing to say something serious to her?

I want to hold it in my arms every day.

He didn't dare to think he could marry a wife before.

How poor the village was at that time, every household gave birth to a girl either throwing it away or drowning.

Ten miles and eight townships are all males. If anyone has a daughter who is still breastfeeding, someone wants to decide.

They are the sons of the village master's family, three, the oldest is more than 30, and the youngest is 20. Those are also three bachelors.

It was his luck that Zhao San went to the town to go to the market and met the wife who set up a stall. Although the two did not explain, they had a bit of meaning after several encounters. Zhao San was afraid that he was poor, and the woman did not agree, so he worked hard. After earning some money, buying a few acres of land, and preparing gifts, I asked the matchmaker to propose marriage.

He was the first married man at this age in the village.

When the orphan girl first came to the village, the matchmaker almost broke through the door of her thatched hut. If she didn't have the heart, the whole village would choose men.

There is also a pair of brothers who are willing to share their wives. Anyway, the brothers are born with the blood of their family.

Just that, the orphan did not do it either.

Fortunately, the village is now strictly controlled, otherwise who knows what the old bachelors can do.

Zhao San thought of this and started to worry again. If he leaves and leaves his wife and old parents at home, what if someone has a bad idea and every hard worker in the family has something to do?

He went home to tell his wife.

The daughter-in-law asked: "Muramasa didn't say how long it would take?"

Zhao San thought for a while: "I said, if you work near home, you will have less money, but there is one day off every seven days, so you can go home and have a look."

"If you go farther, you have to work for half a year, but there is a lot of money."

The daughter-in-law said: "We have land at home, and the cost is not high, so you can do it near home, so it is safe."

Zhao San grinned: "Sure, I listen to you."

The daughter-in-law also smiled at him: "I also learned to change the rattan baskets, and sell them in the town when I go to the market. Let's go all the way, and the days at home will definitely be better."

Zhao San kept nodding, without stopping, "Then you have to follow the villagers when you go to the market."

The daughter-in-law laughed at him: "I'm not a few years old. Now when the market opens in the town, there are soldiers watching me. I also bring a knife. No one dares to make trouble.

Zhao San buried his head in his wife's arms: "No, I'm worried."

The daughter-in-law kicked him: "Hurry up to pack up and eat, eat your favorite sweet potato rice today."

There are sweet potatoes and white rice, which are full and not as expensive as pure white rice.

Zhao San came down after hearing his saliva: "What kind of dishes?"

"The bracken, the salad is cooked." The wife said, "There are fish, so big, just boil the fish soup to make up for my parents. I lost my body a few years ago, and my parents always hurt their legs these days."

Zhao San's eyes turned red, and he hugged his daughter-in-law and kissed fiercely, unable to say anything.

For his parents and such a good daughter-in-law, he has to work hard to make money.

After half a month, someone came to lead the people away. The three sons of the village's family were among them, but they did not go near the village, but went to the distance, saying that they were going to repair the bridge, and the bridge would get more money. , But also dangerous.

The eldest son said: "I heard that those who build bridges can have 500 essays a month."

"I also pack two sets of clothes."

"I can build a house in half a year and buy two acres of land."

"It's dangerous, but our brothers three go together, and we have mutual care. We are all strong men and nothing can happen."

The orphan is building roads nearby.

Every seven days she can go back to the village to see her younger brother. She wants to build a brick house. It's okay to be smaller, just separated by two rooms.

It is always uncomfortable to live in thatched houses.

The group said goodbye to the family and left with a burden.

He also sang ballads on the road.

Lin Yuan looked at Zouben, and the vigorous infrastructure construction has already begun in all places under his control.

The top priority of his division is to build roads. If you want to get rich, build roads first. Modern people know the truth.

Bridges and water conservancy are among them, and bridges are also regarded as roads. Water conservancy is the foundation of agriculture.

As for the money, it comes from the treasury of various regions and must be reported in a unified manner.

Lin Yuan knows how much money is in the treasury in various places. He will subsidize the poor places, and the local officials will send the money in the rich places.

For example, in Taizhou, Jiang Gui was in charge, and Jiang Gui sent the tribute at the beginning of the year.

Runing too.

In affluent places, officials also know in their hearts, they can’t hide the fact that the account books are there, the market has merchant regulations, and the merchants also have a set of accounts.

What's more, the household registration has been increased. How many people there are in a city, and how each person's income has a general direction.

There are places where officials can be greedy, and they don't control too much.

But everyone knows what the above means.

No one wants to use the head on his neck to try if he can be more greedy.

Song Shizhao said to Lin Yuan, "I don't have the courage to be particularly bold. You chopped off a lot of heads a few years ago, and their courage became smaller."

Lin Yuan put the memorial aside: "It's a blessing that the brains that were chopped last time can manage ten years."

The modern Internet is so developed, so many corrupt officials finally relied on the evidence after the mistress turned their faces.

It is conceivable that in the ancient times when information traffic was underdeveloped, corrupt officials would only be more, not less.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Sir, don't have a bitter face. I know in my heart that there are no fish when the water is clear. I gave them space and they don't know what is good or bad. That's no wonder I am."

Song Shizhao: "Your Majesty is very painstaking. It depends on what regulations they are."

Lin Yuan took a sip of tea.

Song Shizhao said: "Last time you said that the imperial examination was opened, it happened in autumn. The weather is neither hot nor cold, so it is most suitable."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Then leave this to you first."

Song Shizhao breathed a sigh of relief, and the imperial examination was held for the first time. He would cry if he didn't do it for him.

Lin Yuan: "I'm afraid it will tire you."

Song Shizhao's eyes widened: "Neither tired nor tired! The minister is still tough!"

If anyone wants to grab the job, he can bite a piece of meat from the opponent.
