Chapter Five Hundred Eighty-Six: Kicked Iron Plate!

ng Shenyi. Because she has the seedlings and seeds of medicinal herbs, as long as they are sent into the space, in the blink of an eye, she can have a field of medicinal herbs.But grandma protected he...br/>

The wounded soldier glanced at those people and said with a sneer, "These are all lazy good-for-nothings who did nothing but eat and sleep during the day. Last night they even conspired to steal relief supplies to sell! Everyone was furious, so Lord [Name] tied them up and threw them out."

Li Laosi nodded and was about to lead his wife and daughter into the house.

Unwilling, Jia Yin twisted her body and ran back to the tail of the car, hiding behind the compartment and taking out a new straw hat from the space before handing it to the old soldier.

"Uncle, you shouldn't wear this hat. Your wound hasn't healed properly yet and it needs to breathe; you can't cover it up."

"Thank you, County Lord!" The old soldier's face was full of gratitude. He took the straw hat with both hands, his nose a bit sour.

Jia Yin giggled and waved her hand, leading her father into the courtyard.

Li Lao Er was talking with several scholars.

It turns out that these few days, the vacant courtyard has been repaired and temporarily rented to these scholars as temporary accommodation.

The price isn't high, the only requirement is that they take turns helping the relief agency with their bookkeeping.

The Bureau of Relief's accounts were nothing more than the amount of grain and money allocated by the court, how much came in one day, and how much was spent.

And also, how much money, grain, and supplies the kind people in the city donated should be recorded.

Actually, these things aren't difficult. Just find two boys from the village and they can do it. Li Laoer even has a background in accounting, so it would be extremely easy for him.

But he still insisted on using these bookish people.

Because the accounts are public to these people, it is public to the entire new capital and the entire Tianwu!

It is common knowledge that he is corrupt, and no one doubts it.

Several scholars readily agreed, after all, for half a day's work each month, they could save half their rent, which was an excellent deal.

And helping the relief agency is also a good deed.

When Li Lao Er saw his brother's family arrive, he quickly sent the students away and then took his brother's family around to see the sights.

In the kitchen, there was a burnt smell coming from somewhere, it seemed.

Tao Hongying hurried to help, Jia Yin hugged the little fox and ran to see the excitement.

Li La Er seized the opportunity and told his younger brother about his plans.

Over the past few days, he has taken over all the common folk that his elder brother had previously bribed.

The Relief Agency's thorns, are also tied outside the door.

Just wait a little longer to observe, then select the right people and start cleaning up the streets. Also spread eyeliner all over Kyoto.

Then, whether it's the Wang family or the Wu family, even if they can't directly confront each other for now, at least they can clearly understand their movements.

If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

At any time, being passive can only endure beating. Mastering the initiative is the key to tilting the balance of victory in your favor...

At noon, Zheng Feng went to Xian Kelai to pick up a lunch box. Everyone stayed at the relief center to eat.

Li Laoer had no good way to deal with those humanoid zongzis outside.

If they were handed over to the government, they wouldn't have committed any major crimes. They would probably be locked up for three or five days and then released.

Then, whether they are secretly scheming against the relief agency or wandering around town, it will not be a good outcome.

Finally, Old Li Si came up with a good idea, “The dock needs people to work. Why don’t we send them there as forced labor Let them work for a year and a half, and all their laziness will be cured.”

Li Lao Er's eyes lit up as he smiled and said, "This is a good idea! I have several veterans here who could just handle some of the dockworkers!"

Everyone burst into laughter. After the meal, Old Li Si called over two veteran soldiers and asked them to take his ID card and escort him to the dock.

The "human-shaped dumplings" initially thought they were going to the government office, so they didn't take it seriously. After all, they weren't first-timers; they had been there before.

But to their surprise, the carriage drove out of town and farther and farther away, which frightened them...

It's too late, whether it's fear or regret.

If you stay at the relief agency, you have work to do and food to eat. It's a good thing.

They just wanted something for nothing, thinking they could get everything without working, and treated Old Li as a pushover. In the end, they kicked an iron plate!

Li Laosi brought his wife and children, pulling half a cart of incense candles and paper money, along with a well-fed and sleepy little fox out of the city. Soon they saw their family's gate tower in the distance.

Not far from the archway, the foundation for the second village has already been dug and a basic shape is taking form.

The villagers are busy as can be!

The village head, with his hands behind his back and a pipe in hand, walked around, occasionally yelling at the villagers a few words, full of energy.

It is said that when people get old, they are afraid of being idle, and if they are idle, they are easy to get sick.

When things get busy, or when you have something on your mind, it's actually a good thing.

After all, if you have something on your mind, you won't be willing to leave. If you are not willing to leave, you can live a few more years!

According to Li Jia and the villagers' wishes, they wished that the village head could live for a hundred years.

Li Laosi stopped the car, ran to slip the village head a pack of good dry tobacco leaves, and chatted with the villagers for a few jokes before continuing home.

Li Laotai was peering out the front door. When she saw the carriage return, her smile stretched from ear to ear with delight.

Before the carriage even came to a complete stop, Jiayin leaped from her mother's arms and rushed into her grandmother's embrace like a little leopard. "Grandma, I miss you so much! From now on, I won't go out to play anymore. I'll stay home with Grandma."

Grandma Li held her plump granddaughter tightly, feeling a sense of relief after a long and anxious day.

She knew her granddaughter was with her son and daughter-in-law, so she wouldn't be thirsty or hungry, but she couldn't help but worry.

This is a treasure she held in her palm, nurtured in the depths of her eyes!

She was overjoyed, but said, “Hmph, you know how to come back! Grandma thought you were lost!”

Jia Yin giggled happily, wriggling in her grandmother's arms. She kissed her grandmother's left cheek and then her right cheek, making the old woman Li laugh uncontrollably.

Grandma He, Shui Ling and Shui Yun heard the commotion and also came out.

"Grandma He smiled and said, 'Finally, the Miss has returned! The old mistress got up early and stood at the door watching. If you hadn't come back, I'm afraid the door frame would have been torn down.' "

"Nonsense! I was just hearing magpies calling outside and wanted to take a look." Li Laotai refused, holding her granddaughter and heading towards the courtyard.

Unfortunately, the little girl is quite heavy for her to carry.

It was Li Lao Si who finally took the little girl. Tao Hongying supported her mother-in-law and they went into the house together.

The little fox woke up too, jumping on Shui Ling and Shui Yun's shoulders.

Before everyone could even sit down, Huiniang brought over Xiaocui. The two of them carried a basket filled with many mushrooms.

"Aunt, we went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and brought you a basket. Let's make soup for dinner tonight." Huilan poured the mushrooms under the eaves of the porch, drawing everyone's attention.

"I didn't expect the mushrooms to grow so soon," exclaimed Old Mrs. Li, "I thought we'd have to wait longer."

"I don't know either," said Huiniang. "It was Xiaocui who took me here. She knows a lot about mushrooms!"

Xiao Cui was a local farmer's daughter, born and raised here. All the people in Xincun came from the north, naturally she knew the local climate and produce better than them.

Right now, she blushed and whispered, "This kind of mushroom is delicious in soup. When you pick it fresh and eat it right away, or when you dry some to use in winter stews."

"Okay, Xiaocui, bring us up the mountain often in the future! We'll rely on you for the mushrooms for our winter stewed chicken." Tao Hongying also said with a smile, causing Xiaocui to nod repeatedly.over, Lu Zong also brought twenty guards...The carriage drove out of the village, and Jia Yin, like a bird released from its cage, pushed open a small gap in the car window and looked around excitedly...
