The life of the Xianyu family through books

Chapter 738: Raising money for Mr. Tian

Yan Yu was worried and would go to inspect and provide guidance from time to time.

I spent half of every day in the military camp.

Li Xuemei knew her daughter best, because she was afraid that these five thousand recruits would be trained and run away. The villagers had fed them, and the Yan family had given them plenty of subsidies. General Yan and Little General Yan worked hard to earn money and save food. , the name of Yan Jiajun was shouted out, and his thoughts were obvious, but he couldn't keep a close eye on him.

Speaking of military training, Yan Yu admitted that the people sent by Xue Baihu were professionals.

But when it comes to making people feel welcome, she is very proud to say that she and her father are the ones that make people feel welcome.

You can hold their stomachs, but you still worry about not being able to hold their hearts?

The stomach and the heart are equal at some point, okay?

Not only did Yan Jiajun make people well fed, but occasionally some meat was served, Yan Laoer also gritted his teeth and paid for the five thousand recruits.

Just ask, who else!

This is a lot of money.

Some of them were awarded to Yan Yu by the King of England, and some were obtained by Yan Lao Er with great difficulty from the rear army who begged his grandfather and grandma.

It can be said that the Yan family father and daughter are determined to raise soldiers.

Li Xuemei also supports this.

She also gave her daughter advice and took the items brought back from Xizhou to Fucheng for sale.

In the name of loot.

Rare, rare.

If you can sell five or seven cents more, you can accumulate a little and make a lot of money, which is also an income.

Li Xuemei also helped her father and daughter make new plans.

Yan Jiajun, the Yan family has taken care of them, but they need to change their approach.

Now that the five thousand recruits have received full pay, they can no longer subsidize them as before.

There seemed to be a lot of cattle and sheep in the house, but they couldn't bear the five thousand mouths to eat and drink.

In the future, the military camp's bills will be drawn up, and various supplies such as grain, grass, horses, ordnance, etc. must be clearly organized.

It's enough to eat meat once every ten days. Currently, they can't afford more.

Treat Yan Jiajun as an industry and only when there is revenue can the benefits of employees be improved.

It was issued by the imperial court, paid by the British King, and earned by Yan Jiajun himself.

In the future, the consumption of military camps will come from these three sources.

Needless to say, the first two cannot be achieved for the time being, but the latter one cannot be achieved at the moment. The Yan family can find ways to fill this gap, but it must be in the form of a temporary loan.

Li Xuemei had a problem in her heart. The silver reward given to her daughter by the King of England should not be added to this.

And although Yan Yu takes the lion's share of the credit, she is not the one who did it. The children who followed her and the villagers who helped her should all get a share of the credit, so as not to offend others.

The Yan family has a foothold in the village, and they must keep the two words of publicity and trust.

Therefore, Li Xuemei has been catching her daughter doing accounting every night these days.

From the military camp, from home, from the Boy Scouts...

Yan Yu has seen enough of the account books now.

I can't wait to straighten out the account immediately and replace it with someone else.

……

Yan Laoer came back seven days later.

"Dad, I miss you so much!"

Before anyone could enter the yard, Yan Yu, who had received the report from Jiuxiao early, rushed out and shouted pitifully at the top of his voice.

"Dad misses you too. I miss you both." Mr. Yan was very emotional and wanted to squeeze out a few tears. "Dad! I miss you!"

"Dabao, I miss you too!"

"Dad, I've missed you for days!"

"Oh, me too..."

Li Xuemei couldn't stand it anymore, "Servant, stop blocking the door and let your father go in first."

Yan Yu immediately changed his face and enthusiastically took the baggage from Mr. Yan's hand.

"Dad, come into the house quickly. Come back as soon as you said you would. What else do you need to bring?"

Yan Laoer can pick up on anything: "Hey, no matter where dad goes, he always thinks about you. He wants to go home whenever he looks at you. Your dad is only good at this, and his heart will be tied to the family for the rest of his life!"

Li Xuemei glared at him and said nicely, since he became an official, this man has never been homeless.

"Hey, look at our little Ya'er, where are we looking for daddy? Daddy is here!" Yan Laoer walked around in a very fatherly manner, running to Li Xuemei's end and then to Li Xuemei's other end.

The little Ya'er in Li Xuemei's arms was so tired that she couldn't even turn her head, and kept oozing towards the source of the sound.

"You are covered in dirt, dirty or not. Stay away from the child." Li Xuemei nodded at him with her finger.

"Oh, I'm going to fall, my wife, what have you eaten recently? Your strength has increased so much!" Yan Laoer was about to collapse without a proper posture. He twisted his waist and said to himself, "I'll go take a shower." , go wash."

Seeing that his Dabao's attention was focused on unpacking, Yan Laoer was wary of his surroundings. He came closer again and lowered his voice: "Daughter-in-law, our Dabao just stole my words." His tone suddenly became slimy: " Wife, I miss you so much~"

Li Xuemei pursed her lips, her ears turned slightly red, and she softly uttered two words: "Virtue!"

Yan Yu saw the banknote, grabbed it in his hand, and counted carefully, "One hundred, two hundred...hehehe!"

After counting the banknotes, Yan Yu's eyes were bright and she held them up to Li Xuemei like a treasure.

"Mom, one thousand three hundred and fifty taels! That's a lot of money!"

Li Xuemei was also happy after hearing this. She gave Xiao Ya'er to her, took the banknote with her backhand and counted it again.

"So much!" She whispered, wanting to ask the child what her father's money was, but she could no longer see him, so she said: "I'll ask your father to see what the money is. It's amazing. I didn't expect that your father would one day To be able to get such a large sum of money back home.”

Yan Yu hugged her sister, blinked her eyes, and said with a pout, "I guess dad is still a passing god of wealth."

Li Xuemei also agreed that her father was not destined to make a fortune.

Yan Laoer came back with long wet hair and listened to the couple asking where the money came from.

Then he said with a sigh on his face: "This money, a little adds up to a lot."

Li Xuemei: "Huh?"

Yan Yu: "Dad, what did you say?!"

"Didn't we capture a lot of soldiers and officials from Zhuyuan City and Wangxiang City? We tied them up and brought them back. This is their private 'filial piety'." Yan Laoer looked at his daughter with a strange expression. : "Dabao, did you know something a long time ago, so you borrowed two shifts of yamen servants from your master to take them with you? Good guy, I was by the side from beginning to end, and I didn't notice what Li Captou and the others did. Always hidden."

"Ah!" Yan Yu exclaimed and reacted instantly: "This...are these the protection fees they collected?!"

Yan Laoer hit the bar. Although it was not accurate, the meaning was pretty much the same.

"Why don't I know?" Yan Yu's eyes widened: "Dad, I really don't know at all. Oh, what a mistake. I only thought about free labor and let them work for us!"

Li Xuemei frowned: "There are so many?"

One thousand three hundred and fifty taels, this is not a small amount.

"Captain Li and the others are interested." Yan Laoer touched the banknotes on the kang table. "Copper plates, scattered silver, women's hairpins and jewelry, the jade hook and jade belt on the official's body... I scratched the pieces in bits and pieces. According to reports, They said that they didn't use any means, they just threatened people, and some of them took the initiative to send them. Then there were those who couldn't bear the hardship and wanted to eat better and sleep better. They sold them for convenience and so on, and they sold them all. The money was collected by everyone in the government office."

Yan Laoer said slowly: "It's for the teacher."

"The number is so complete, I guess they also added some to it themselves."
