The little lady Huang looked at Luo Yong with a smile, but said, "I want to eat beans too."

Luo Yong thought about it, took out a few smiles from his arms, and put them in the little girl's fleshy little hand: "I'll give you all the remaining beans, but I'll pack them up, and I'll be gone when I come again."

Miss Huang happily put the laughter in her arms and jumped to find her mother.

The children in their county government are considered to be from officials and dressed cleanly on weekdays. They are quite polite. Although they are naughty and rude, they are more polite than children on the streets outside.

All the wives of the family also had their own teachings in private and did not allow them to act rashly in front of Luo Yong. So when these children saw Luo Yong, they would call the county magistrate politely, and older children would bow to him.

Only this little lady Huang, who is still young and a girl, is still young. Her mother is in the room all day long to urge her eldest son to study, and she doesn't care much about this young man. Instead, the concubine of Huang County Magistrate took care of her more.

It's also a sin. The concubine of Huang County Magistrate is only sixteen years old this year. I heard that she was sold to the Huang family by Ye Niang at the age of ten. She has been with Mrs. Huang for four or five years. She was occupied by Huang County Magistrate at the age of thirteen or fourteen. The Huang family did not do too ugly. At least she was given a title.

Now, except for a rude servant and a servant who followed Huang County Chief, the only concubine is the lowest-ranking concubine and has to work all day long. Mrs. Huang often loses her temper with her.

Mrs. Huang had a bad temper and originally had to blow it up every now and then. Once Luo Yong passed by his yard, he suddenly heard a bang, followed by a hysterical scolding, which scared Luo Yong.

Luo Yong couldn't hear this. When he was a child, he was sold to the mountains. The couple who bought him shouted and scolded him all day long. Until now, when he heard this sound, he still felt a little nervous.

After returning to the front yard, Luo Yong asked someone to call Huang County Chief Huang to come over. He said that this was the case of his family and living in the county government is not suitable. It would be better to find a yard in the city to move out.

The Huang County Magistrate did not want to? Their family now lives in the county government office, and their wives, children, concubines and servants all follow them to eat big pots. I don’t know how much money they can save in the year. Once they move out, he and his servants can still eat in the government office, but the others don’t have the same face to come and have a free meal.

Besides, the county government is very safe. He usually takes his servant out and does not need to worry about the safety of his wife and children.

County Magistrate Huang repeatedly promised Luo Yong that he would restrain his wife and children in the future and would not disturb the county magistrate. Luo Yong saw that he had good ability to handle official duties on weekdays and was diligent, so he did not insist on letting their family move out.

County Magistrate Huang did what he said and indeed controlled his wife. As for how he controlled it, this statement was circulating in the yamen. After County Magistrate Huang went back to his house from Luo Yong, he told his wife that if she continued to make trouble like this, she would send her back to her hometown.

Mrs. Huang stopped making trouble from now on, not knowing whether she was scared or she was heartbroken.

The concubine still works diligently every day.

This is probably the case with women in this era.

Luo Yong didn't know what to do to them best. If he married someone, he would inevitably be subject to many constraints. If he didn't marry someone, he would inevitably be regarded as an alien.

In Yiluo's opinion, if there is a suitable candidate, recruiting a wife should also be a good way out.

However, no one can tell the matter of love. If you meet someone you like, whether it is getting married or hiring a son-in-law, it will be fine as long as they are willing. If you don’t meet someone you like, there is no need to force it. Luo Yong will definitely not urge you to get married.

Correspondingly, they should not think about urging Luo Yong to the marriage, and no one should urge anyone to each other, and each will beat their own bachelor. This is not good.

After dinner, Luo Yong went to the bacon workshop. The weather has been cool recently, and the bacon workshop in Changle County has started construction, but the price of mutton is now expensive, mainly smoked pork.

Speaking of which, since the price of bacon in Changle County was sold at 50% off last time, the price has never risen again, and Luo Yong has no intention of increasing it again.

No matter how good this bacon is, it is a type of bacon. There is no shortage of bacon in the surrounding areas of Changle County. If it is sold at a high price, the sales volume will definitely not be increased. Therefore, the price is set to be lower, with small profits but quick turnover. Although the earnings may not be much greater than before, at least it can provide local people with more jobs.

In fact, if bacon like this can be used to go to Chang'an City, the price will definitely be much higher than that of Changle County, and there is no need to worry about sales.

It’s a pity that the journey is too far, thousands of miles away, and it will take at least three or four months to walk. With this manpower and material resources, it’s not worth it.

"Does the county magistrate want to go to the bacon workshop?" On the deserted beach at a little in front of the workshop area, several people in the city were taking care of the vegetable fields.

This wasteland was not suitable for farming, and it was covered with large and small stones. However, since the county town rebuilt the wall and surrounded the land in the city, many nearby residents came here to open the land, first clean up the stones, and then pick some soil from other places to lay them on.

In just half a year, the deserted beach has been reclaimed into vegetable fields of all sizes. Except for some large stones that cannot be moved, other large and small stones have been cleaned up and stacked into piles of large and small stones. Some people carried the stones from here and went back to the monastery wall.

"That's right." Luo Yong said, asking a person on the side of the road who was watering the radish field: "Does your reed look good?"

"It's not very good. The soil layer is too thin. In two days, I have to leave the city to push a few trucks of soil back and put it on." The man smiled at Luo Yong and replied shyly.

"It's okay to grow smaller. When it's winter, cut it into reed strips as thick as fingers, and dry it and stir-fried bacon. The taste is the best." Luo Yong said.

"..." The man seemed to not know how to answer the conversation, but he still smiled at Luo Yong.

Luo Yong didn't care, so he waved his hand and asked them to just work on their own, and then went to the bacon workshop.

On the way to the bacon workshop, he had to pass the cashmere workshop. Luo Yong came and went, but rarely went in. The main reason was that there were so many young ladies in the cashmere workshop. He had to avoid suspicion, so as not to be spread by someone at the time, which would hinder their reputation.

"Why is the county magistrate coming?" The manager of the bacon workshop saw Luo Yong and hurriedly came out.

"I have free time today, so I'll come and take a look." Luo Yong walked in, looked around, and asked, "Can you collect meat today?"

"I have collected two pigs today, all of which have been slaughtered. The pork is being marinated at this moment. I have not yet been packed up. After I have finished packing, I will send some to the county government." The manager replied.

"Thank you for your hard work," said Luo Yong: "This year you will recruit more people, and I plan to make more bacon."

"How many more than last year?" the manager asked.

"Double the more," said Luo Yong.

"Here." The manager agreed.

"Have all the bacon houses were cleaned out?" Luo Yong asked again.

“I’m cleaning these two days.”

“Where is the smoked material?”

"Everything is ready."

"Take me to see something."

"Let's go here."

“…”

This year, they will not build the city walls in Changle County. Luo Yong has no money or food in his hands, and he does not intend to carry out any large-scale projects.

After the autumn harvest, each household paid the taxes for this year. Recently, farmers have come to the city to find a job.

The tofu workshop has stable employment and basically no longer accepts people. These people are mainly going to cement workshops, but the cement business is not as easy as when Luo Yong first came to Changle County more than a year ago.

If this continues, as more and more farmers go to the city to work, there will probably be no work to find.

After coming out of the bacon workshop, Luo Yong went to the needle workshop again and stayed in the needle workshop for an afternoon...

Two days later, the government office was in charge of land.

After collecting the food from the field and paying the rent for the year, he has had some leisure time in the past two days. He is thinking about whether to stay in the city for a night and buy some wine loads to sell. The servants in the public mansion have actually come again.

The tenants saw these people wearing man-made clothes coming over from a distance, and felt a little uneasy, worried that the land rented this year was a bad thing.

Mr. Rao couldn't figure out what these people were doing here at this time, so he had to come up and ask.

"The county magistrate said that he would distribute the work of needle grinding to each village and town, and ordered the village chief to enter the city to collect it in the past two days. You will call Rao Weng over here. If Rao Weng is not free, he will call your Dalang." One of the servants said.

"This..." After hearing this, Mr. Rao didn't know whether this was a good or a bad thing.

It would be a good thing to ask them to make some money at home in winter, but if the government forces the task to come down and ask each of them to grind out a few needles every day, then...

"The county magistrate said, if someone wants to do this work here, you will go to the city to take charge in the past two days. If no one is willing to do it, you don't have to go. It's difficult to travel in winter, and the Duke's Mansion will give you some subsidies at that time." Another servant said again.

"How much can I give?" Rao Weng-in-law asked in a low voice.

"It's probably a penny for every ten cents of money you pay." The servant replied.

"Then I'll go into the city tomorrow?" After hearing what they said, Rao Weng felt relieved.

The Luo County Magistrate was not a rude and unreasonable person, but he just thought about it. It was because he had seen such things that now that there was a little movement in the government, they subconsciously wanted to be on guard and resist.

"You can go there anytime for the past three or five days now." The servants brought the words and hurriedly left.

There were several villagers who were quick to react. At this time, they quickly brought hot water out of the house. The officers took a bowl of them, poured them down a few mouthfuls, rode on the horse, and quickly walked away.

Although their Changle County is a small population, it is not small. The villages are quite far apart. In late autumn, the weather is colder every day, and it feels not pleasant to ride horses in the wild.

Only when they informed the news early could they go back to the city early. It would be better to do something in the city than to be outside here, even if they were squatting in the vegetable shop to dry dried winter melons.

Before they left this time, the county government decided on all the people in charge of this matter. If there is a village with a main body, let the village come over, and if there is a village without a main body, let the village come over.

Because many villages are quite far apart, the Magistrate Luo and Magistrate Tan Lao and others discussed that if they only asked Geli Zheng to go to the county to get the work back, many villagers might have to go a long way to Li Zheng's house to get the goods and deliver the goods. It would be better to be stronger than the county government and directly give the candidates. If anyone has any objection, they will ask them to go to the county to speak.

When they discussed this matter, it happened to be lunch in the county government, and it was not a secret, so they did not avoid anyone.

Among these servants, some of them had a public meal that they had just had in the spring of last year. After hearing the discussions of the few of them, they thought everything carefully for the farmers. I also felt a little incredible. Did these officials be like this? Why did they have such a bad impression of being an official in the past?

In Zhitian, these tenants were all happy after the servants left. The work of grinding needles was only distributed in the county town and was not asked to be taken out of the city. Now the people here can also take this life at home. This winter, as long as they sit in the house and grind needles every day, they can earn more.

Rao Weng's daughter-in-law was also happy. In the past, Awen and her men, she stood up for the affairs of these tenants all day long. Not to mention the benefits, she often had to be worried. She was not without complaints.

Although the hard work fee for every ten cents is not too much, it is not too little for families like them. Their main reason is that they are not far from the county town, and even if it is colder in winter, it is not very hard to go back and forth.

Those villages that live far away will have to work harder, but some villages have more households under their charge, so they will definitely earn more. Besides, those servants said just now, they may not necessarily have to come forward every time. The same is true for arranging young children at home.

"Aweng, look..." After the family returned to the yard, Rao Weng's daughter-in-law brought out a bowl of hot water to the old man with a smile. At this time, she had already begun to calculate how much input their family could have this winter, and she was really happy.

"The county magistrate is thoughtful." But Mr. Rao said at this time.

"Why did Ahon say that?" his daughter-in-law asked him.

"The county magistrate said that the Duke's government paid the hard work of the village chiefs, so he would not let them collect money from the farmers." Her husband said.
