I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 151 Gratitude
Zhong Jin came back full of alcohol, and Zhou Yu asked with concern, "Drink a lot of alcohol?"

Zhong Jin took the veil and wiped his face, "Well, they want to get me drunk."

Zhou Yu handed over a cup of warm tea, "Do you need to drink hangover soup?"

Zhong Jin took the tea and drank it, but his mouth was still thirsty, and he felt better after drinking two cups in a row, "No, I'm good at drinking. You guys came here for corvée service."

Liu Li was staring at him, he couldn't speak at all, he could only watch.

Zhou Yu nodded, "Well, I know that corvée service is inevitable, I want to ask if it is possible to distribute Shanghe Village together."

Zhong Jin held a teacup in his hand and drank the tea slowly, "It's easy to share."

After a pause, he continued: "There is no salary for the corvée service this time, which means that no doctor will be hired. No doctor and no medicine means casualties. Not everyone is as kind as me."

Zhou Yu frowned, "I'm also afraid that in order to rush work, the officials will make the people work day and night."

Liu Lizheng's hands were full of sweat, and he worked day and night to kill people. Even if he had many sons, he didn't want to experience the pain of losing his son.

Zhong Jin looked tired, "I asked the officials of the city for news, but the results were not optimistic."

Liu Lizheng was already stammering, "This, what should I do?"

Zhou Yu had an idea in his heart, "Brother, see if you can propose that the village as a whole be responsible for a section of the ditch project."

"You mean, Shanghe Village is only responsible for this section of the project."

Zhou Yu nodded, "Well, this can avoid cheating and cheating, and it is more convenient to manage. The village can also arrange for rest in turns to avoid all labor overwork."

Zhong Jin touched the teacup and thought about the feasibility. In previous years, when serving corvée, the village would be in a group as a whole. Zhou Yu said it was indeed feasible, "I will chat with the officials of the city."

Liu Lizheng stood up, "My lord's kindness cannot be repaid. In the future, my lord will use the old man's place, and the old man will do his best."

Zhong Jin smiled, "I'll also help you out. If you want to thank me, thank my brother."

Liu Lizheng greeted him again, "Thank you sir."

Zhou Yu said: "Lizheng can buy some more wound medicine while there is still time."

Liu Lizheng, "I'll go buy it now."

Liu Lizheng knew that Mr. Zhou and the magistrate had something to talk about, so he left the county government first.

Zhong Jin motioned for the servants in the room to go down, and said, "Gu Zhifu uses corvée to build construction, and it also means to guard against General Bai."

Zhou Yu, "I knew it wasn't just for repairing ditches."

Zhong Jin said with a strange expression, "Is Guan Yi, the one you asked me to stare at, not ready to leave?"

"Ok?"

Zhong Jin pressed his eyebrows, "He bought the Huang family's house, and it has been replaced with a plaque. Recently, a lot of people have come in and out, including many children."

Zhou Yu had some guesses in his heart, "Please also pay more attention to him, eldest brother."

Guan Yi is too dangerous.

Zhong Jin laughed, "Yang San also kept staring at him."

In the afternoon, when Zhou Yu came back, he saw Ye Qiheng talking and laughing, and asked his daughter-in-law suspiciously, "What's the good thing about having a bitter face in the morning?"

Yang Xi, "Xi Xuan helped Ye Shun get a quota for exemption from corvée, and he has signed the contract, so Qi Heng is naturally happy."

Zhou Yu snorted, "He protects his shortcoming."

Yang Xi laughed, "You should worry if he doesn't protect his shortcomings."

Zhou Yu told the news that he went to the county government to inquire, Yang Xi, "Your method is really good."

Zhou Yu, "The Ruizhou under peace has constant ups and downs, and other states can be imagined."

Yang Xi frowned, "Gu Zhifu can use corvée for personal gain, so can other states."

Zhou Yu, "It's good that we can manage one-third of an acre of land."

"Yes."

Zhong Jin soon sent the news that he had already told the officials of Tongfu City and had painted a ditch for Shanghe Village to be repaired. Zhong Jin was facing Shanghe Village, and the plot of the painting was very flat.

Liu Li was going to the county to sign the autograph, saw the map of the repaired ditch, came back and thanked Zhou Yu, and told the villagers about Zhou Yu's help.

The next day, Mo Lu opened the door early in the morning and was stunned. There were many baskets piled up at the door. The baskets contained vegetables and eggs, as well as some delicious oranges and other fruits in the mountains.

Mo Lu hurried back to the backyard, which was preparing to eat. Mo Lu explained the situation at the door.

Zhong Yan stroked his beard, "This is the gratitude of the villagers."

Zhou Yu felt even more uneasy about not accepting the villagers, and said to Mo Lu: "Let's all move in, the children of the school these two days will stay for lunch at noon."

Mo Lu, "Yes."

The response was particularly loud, the master was kind, and the servants were the happiest.

After the meal, Yang Xi ate oranges, "Well, it's really sweet."

Ye Shi has already eaten one, "It's better to be in the south, and there are constant fruits throughout the year."

As long as there is money, fresh fruit can be eaten every month, unlike the north, it is difficult to eat fresh fruit in winter.

Yang Xi opened a piece of orange, bit it open and handed it to his younger son. The little guy especially likes to eat fruit, especially sweet oranges. One orange is not enough, and he wants it more.

Yang Xi smiled, "You can't eat too much, you will get angry if you eat too much."

After a while, the little guy will be able to eat complementary food, Yang Xi is very emotional, Zilu can already eat complementary food in a blink of an eye!
Ye Shi wiped the corners of his grandson's mouth, "I heard what Yu'er said, he and Li Zheng sent the villagers to the place of corvée service?"

Yang Xi nodded, "Well, a good man has done ninety-nine, and it's not bad for the last step."

Ye Shi is not dead-headed, "You just have to make a decision."

"Mother, we know what to do."

In the afternoon, Zhou Yu and Li Zheng said that they would send the villagers to serve corvée, and Li Zheng felt at ease. This time, his family's corvage service was decided by lottery, and the boss finally won the lottery.

Liu Lizheng said: "I have already bought a lot of medicinal materials, and the villagers have also bought a lot of them. The village is not afraid of getting hurt and running out of medicinal materials. Now that the husband can go together, the big guy has a better heart."

Zhou Yu, "I will wait at the entrance of the village when I leave."

"it is good."

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of corvee service. Zhou Yu and Yang San waited at the entrance of the village together. There was one person in each household. There were not many people exempted from corvee service, and there were still more than 200 people serving in the government office.

Zhou Yu saw Old Man Zhao at a glance, and he was unexpectedly Old Man Zhao serving corvée.

Yang San also noticed it, and said to Liu Lizheng, who was driving the ox cart: "It's comfortable to ride in the carriage, and it's quick to come back."

Liu Lizheng responded with a smile and motioned for the eldest grandson to drive the ox cart back.

Yang San drove the carriage to the head, followed by the villagers in Shanghe Village who were serving corvée.

By the time of Xiangxian, the village as a whole had already formed a number of teams.

The name was called at the entrance of the county town, and it was confirmed that no one escaped from corvée service. The officials in Fucheng led the way at noon. Fortunately, Xiangxian County was adjacent to Huaxian County. The location of Shanghe Village was good. , Under the envious eyes, the villagers of Shanghe Village stopped the line, and before the sky was completely dark, they were busy cooking on the fire.

For each section of the ditch, four officials will be left to supervise the work, and Yang San catches up with the official during the rush.

The villagers set up a hut to set fire to the fire. Yang San had already started drinking with the official officer. He was eating sauced meat in his mouth, holding a wine jug in his hand, and fruit after the meal. .
