Chapter 29: Money is the bane!

What does the subordinate staff do?

To put it simply, the subordinate staff means you take care of things, do

things for you, run and break your legs when you have problems, and you can’t

be idle when you have nothing to do.

Of course, the subordinates also have some power in their hands. But this bit

of power is good for ordinary people. If it's an improper subordinate, relying

on this little power in his hand, he can really cause a lot of things.

Mr. Xu is talking about farming and reading heirlooms.

Although Xu's boss and Xu's second child are not talented in studying, they

have gone to school and made sense.

The two brothers also understood what the subordinates did.

So when Zuoqiu said that he was planning to get an errand for a subordinate

staff, both of them shrank back. Fortunately, their father was not confused

yet, and he was not squinted by the tiny little profit in front of him.

"My lord, the two sons of Caomin, look, you don't understand anything except

the strength of your arms. If you really let them go to the yamen, it will

cause you trouble!"

"Furthermore, what Caomin does is what Caomin should do!"

"I won't be rewarded!"

...

When the old man Xu kept pushing Zuoqiu's reward, the expression in the eyes

of Old Seven of the village Zhengguan called a hatred of iron and steel.

However, in front of Zuoqiu, Old Seven of Guan did not dare to interject.

Zuoqiu pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother Xu, the official is the

official side, and the rewards and punishments are always clear. How can you

not reward you for making such a great contribution today?"

"Well, this official will reward you with a hundred taels of silver in the

name of the county government!"

"My lord, can't use it, can't use it, too much, too much!"

Upon hearing Zuoqiu's words, Father Xu waved his hand quickly.

One hundred taels of silver, if his family suddenly gets this hundred taels of

silver, will they have a stable life?

"My lord, Caomin really shouldn't deserve such a reward. Or, you can use this

hundred taels of silver to build roads in our village!"

These hundred taels of silver, if you get it in your hand now, it will

definitely be hot.

Although Father Xu has some tricks, this family has a hundred taels of silver,

which will really cause a lot of wrongs. At this time, it is better to do more

than to do less!

Don't see Mr. Xu showing his disdain for the remnants of the past in front of

Mrs. Xu, but in his heart, he still doesn't want his family to be targeted by

those people.

Therefore, these rewards, all money and other things, he cannot receive.

Money is the bane!

In the end, under the repeated pleading of old man Xu, Zuoqiu agreed to the

old man's proposal, and the county government gave money to build the road. On

the labor side, in addition to the normal labor, all people in the village who

participate in road construction can get a certain amount of wages on a daily

basis.

After finalizing this matter, Mr. Xu succeeded in gaining a wave of prestige

in Lingshui Village.

After all, this is a good thing for everyone to make money, but everyone can

benefit from it.

Besides, the roads are repaired, and the villagers will follow them for

convenience.

When everything was done, Mr. Xu took the village chief and called out several

old elders in the village. He renovated a table of food and beverages at home,

and welcomed Zuoqiu and his party kindly.

Chicken, duck and fish are very rich.

The chicken is a pheasant, the duck is a wild duck, the fish is only caught by

the villagers from the Taohua River, and the meat is rabbit meat.

In addition to these chicken, duck and fish meat, there are also various

vegetables and eggs.

In short, this meal is really of a very high standard.

When Zuoqiu and his party were sent away, Mr. Xu went to see Mrs. Xu.

"Daughter-in-law, I have an idea!"

Mr. Xu leaned close to Mrs. Xu, "Let me tell you, you help me count it up!"
