Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 172 The son-in-law is also a god!Zhu Di confessed to a big deal!

The dormitory that Li Xiao intends to establish is actually a community from later generations.

At first it was called a village committee, but with gradual adjustments and changes, it gradually became a neighborhood committee, and then it became a community. The community is the most complete form of the system.

Li Xiao naturally wanted to start working towards the best model.

Li Xiao's Dong'an County has a total of 65 townships and [-] villages under its jurisdiction.

This is not a small amount, and of course we cannot set up all the dormitories at once.

He intends to take out 5 villages as pilots first.

Each dormitory has a dormitory head and a deputy dormitory head who are responsible for coordinating and planning all the work.

This person needs a little working ability and courage, so he has to choose a person who is capable. Of course, Li Xiao will also guide them to help them get started quickly.

Then you need 3 clerks and 3-5 gridmen to manage the villagers.

A dormitory requires 8-10 people.

Then there is the need to build a big house in the village, add seats, and use it as an office.

Although it will be a bit hard in the early stage, once things are on the right track, tax collection, uploading and distribution, management of villagers, tax collection and other affairs can be directly assigned to the dormitory.

He, the county magistrate, is completely capable of being a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Xiaolang, look at the accounts."

"Five dormitory areas are established, and the initial expenses plus one year's personnel compensation."

"A total of 1000 taels of silver will be spent."

At this time, Zhu Ningyun was writing and drawing with a brush beside him, and budgeted out the required silver taels.

Leaving and looking at the accounts, it was written clearly and clearly where money was spent on it, and even the transportation expenses were written down.

"Well, Ningyun, you are really my good wife."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "I will rest assured that you will take care of the house in the future."

Zhu Ningyun nodded gently, "What's the matter, it's because you worked hard, Xiaolang."

Just having a dormitory is not enough, Li Xiao has to think about making the dormitory have the ability to make money, Li Xiao has too many money-making ideas in mind.

Money is endless, and it is impossible for one person to be busy making money every day.

Apply these ideas to the dormitory area to invest in the establishment of village enterprises, and if you can make money, you will have the ability to be responsible for your own profits and losses.

In addition, inject a little more money yourself and earn a little bit.

Therefore, Li Xiao added another amount to the account, and allocated an additional 1000 taels of venture capital after the expenses of each dormitory.

Then the required silver taels becomes 6000 taels.

The next step is to go to Yinzhuang to borrow money.

In fact, Li Xiao can afford 6000 taels of silver by himself.

But Li Xiao doesn't want to do this, there must be a rule in everything, public affairs, how to do it, how to do it, I, Li Xiao, rely on my brain, not money.
"What? Go to the bank to borrow money in the name of the county government?? Borrow 5000 taels?"

When he heard the news, Cheng Meixian was stunned.

Is it still possible to do this? ?
"Can't the yamen ask the bank to borrow money? It's not like they won't pay it back."

Li Xiao was too lazy to explain too much, and ordered: "Come with me, bring the official seal, and you need to sign and draw."

Meixian Cheng: "????"

Obviously, there was a hundred reluctance on his face.

Li Xiao said angrily: "I'm a low-ranking official, and the signature and drawing are not counted. Of course, you, the old county magistrate, can do it. What's the matter? I can't command you anymore, can I?"

"Can I borrow money from this?"

"Whether you can borrow it or not, you will know if you go there."

Soon, Li Xiao took Meixian Cheng to a large bank named Shen Ji in Beiping City to borrow money.

Li Xiao had never been to this bank. He didn't want to reveal the identity of King Yan's son-in-law, but wanted to see if he could borrow money in the name of the Yamen.

After arriving at the bank, the people inside were all warmly entertained.

After learning that they were the officials of the yamen, the people in Shen Ji were a little surprised, it was the first time they saw the yamen come to the bank to borrow money.

They discussed it behind their backs and decided to borrow it!
The yamen is backed by the imperial court, so can they not pay back the money they owe?
We were the first to borrow money from the yamen and spread the word, so we have a great reputation!
Ever since, in less than half an hour, 6000 taels of silver were borrowed.

"My God, I really got a loan."

Meixian Cheng looked at the banknote in his hand and couldn't believe it.

He asked worriedly: "If my name that I signed just now is not on the list, will you ask me for an account?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, although you signed it, it was in the name of the Yamen. At most, you are incompetent, and there is nothing you can do if you don't pay the money. At most, you can beat you a few times to relieve your hatred. "

Meixian Cheng: "."

Seeing the other party's bitter face, Li Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, even if you really don't make it, it's only 6000 taels, and the official rubbed some mud off his body, which is more than that."

After hearing this, Meixian Cheng's expression was relieved, and he felt more at ease.

That's right, the magistrate is the son-in-law of King Yan.

How magnificent the mansion is, how rich the dowry is, 6000 taels of silver is an astronomical figure for me, but it is a fart for the county magistrate.

"Okay, you go back to the Yamen with the money to enter the account, and I will not go back to the Yamen. I haven't returned to Beiping for a long time, and I have to go home to rest for a while."

Li Xiao instructed: "Be careful on the road, don't lose your money. During this period of time, your main job is to build the offices of the five villages according to the blueprints given to you by the officer. Do you understand?"

Li Xiao had already drawn up the office drawings. The layout included an office hall with windows facing the masses, an office, a conflict mediation room for residents, a large meeting room for residents, and so on.

"The next official takes orders." Meixian Cheng cupped his hands.

"Well, you have performed well during this period of time. Do a good job, and the benefits are indispensable to you."

Li Xiao nodded, and then asked, "How much is your annual salary?"

Meixian Cheng cupped his hands and said: "Returning to my lord, the annual salary of the next official is 50 taels, but 20 taels are Daming treasure notes. You understand, my lord, that treasure bills are worthless, so the annual salary is only 35 taels."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, his salary was 80 taels,
In the Ming Dynasty, a groom worked hard and could earn two or thirty taels of silver a year.

From this point of view, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not rich.

He thought for a while, and said: "You work hard, I will not treat you badly, and after a while, your treatment will be improved, ranging from five to twenty silver depending on the level."

Hearing this, Meixian Cheng still had a few government servants with knives, their eyes lit up.

Meixian Cheng excitedly said: "Really?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Is there any joke I can do?"

Meixian Cheng was so excited, but he frowned again and said, "Could it be a Daming treasure?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Now silver."

Meixian Cheng raised his brows with joy, but worried again: "Where is the money?"

Li Xiao: "You have a hundred thousand reasons, I have my own way."

Only by improving the treatment of officials can the bottom elimination system have a real effect.

In this way, everyone is more reluctant to lose this job.

Moreover, Li Xiao felt that the treatment of officials was too low, which was also one of the reasons for this group of people to do foreign work and fish.

The yamen servants present showed envious expressions, and one of them boldly cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, my lord. Do we officials have a share?"

Li Xiao nodded: "Of course I have a share, not only you, but also the staff in the dormitory that will be established soon will be treated better than now."

Hearing this, those yamen servants cupped their hands excitedly: "My lord, we will work hard!"

Li Xiao nodded slightly.

These people have been tortured by me in the past ten days. Although they have complaints in private, they dare not speak out on the surface and can only obey.

Because Li Xiao was Zhu Di's son-in-law, no one dared to disobey Li Xiao's wishes.

Of course, there are also fishers, and Li Xiao remembers all of them in his heart.

Those who can be used should be kept, after all, these officials are familiar with the local conditions.

If you talk about someone, I will tell you right away, where this person lives, what he does, and what he is like, and I will tell you three or four things right away.

If you want to work in the county, you really can't do without these subordinates who have been entrenched in the local area for a long time.

Of course, Li Xiao, who should be eliminated, will never let go of those stubborn bastards who try to fish, refuse to change after repeated admonitions.

"My lord, with your words, I, Mei Jiale, follow my lord's lead."

With financial incentives, Cheng Meixian felt that the suffering he had suffered some time ago was worth it.

Li Xiao continued: "By the way, I will tell you one more thing, that is the vacation system. From now on, I will work five days a week and work five days, and the six and seven days will be the normal rest days. Arrange people to be on duty. In addition, there are various festivals, and you have to take a rest. You also have to arrange people to be on duty. You go back and make a duty list, and when I go back to the county office to have a look, I will start implementing it if possible.”

hiss!
Cheng Meixian gasped.

Five days off and two days off?

Two days off every seven days? ?

Take a bath as usual during holidays?
This is too cool! ! !

Meixian Cheng excitedly said: "My lord, are you serious?"

Li Xiao nodded: "Really."

Being an official in the Ming Dynasty was very hard work, because Zhu Yuanzhang was a workaholic, and he thought that all officials in the world should be like him.

State, government, and county officials only have two vacation opportunities each year.

Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice respectively.

You can ask for leave under special circumstances, such as the death or illness of a loved one at home.

The vacation time of central officials is generally more than that of local officials, but it is also relatively limited.

They can enjoy three vacations a year, namely Spring Festival, Ching Ming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, and each vacation lasts about 5 days.

That is,

All the officials of Daming, almost without rest 365 days a year, were killed
Naturally, Li Xiao wouldn't be so cursing, and of course he couldn't take a vacation alone.

Otherwise, in the future, if the subordinates see themselves fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, how can they lead the team?
Simply take everyone on vacation together.

Now, everyone is even more excited.

This is more attractive than money.

There is a rest time every week. I can go back to pay for my wife and children, and I can go to have fun and relax.
You know, before that, they were in the county government office every day. Although they didn't do many things, they spent all their time in the government office.

"My lord, can we change the rest and bathing system set by the imperial court?"

Mei Jiale was excited, but she still expressed her worries.

Li Xiao: "Let me ask you, who cares about Beiping?"

Meixian Cheng: "Of course it's King Yan."

Li Xiao: "Then who is in charge in Dong'an County?"

Meixian Cheng: "Of course he is King Yan's good son-in-law, my lord."

"Isn't this the end?"

Li Xiao gave him a white look, and said, "I'm the official's site, I'm the boss, is there any problem?"

"No problem, no problem."

Cheng Meixian shook his head, his eyes narrowed into a smile.

There were too many surprises today, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"Okay, I won't send you off, go back to the mansion to rest, you can do what you want."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao took Zhu Ningyun and walked towards Li's residence.

Speaking of which, I haven't been home for more than half a month since I took office, and I should go back to rest and live a married life, and I'm almost suffocated.
"My lord, you go slowly."

Meixian Cheng bowed and watched Li Xiao's back disappear before slowly standing up.

OK, great!
There is passion in doing things like this.

Meixian Cheng suddenly felt that he was full of energy now, and he just wanted to go back immediately and finish the things Li Xiao explained one by one.

Thinking that he still had a huge sum of 6000 taels of silver with him, he hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Hurry up, surround me and protect me back to the county government."

A few arresters from the county government, waiting in full force, surrounded the Cheng of Meixian, and walked towards the direction of Dong'an county government.

"Master Mei, I suddenly feel that Master Li is kind and friendly."

A policeman whispered, obviously he had complained in private not long ago, Mr. Li is too cruel, calling them every day, not treating them as human beings.
"Yeah, I feel the same way."

Another police officer said: "Actually, I can accept the current workload. The main reason is that I can rest for two days. If I can rest for two days, then five days will be fine."

"There is also a salary increase. It is quite nice to add ten or so taels of silver a year. It is very kind of Mr. Li. He is thinking of us!"

Another police officer recognized Li Xiao.

Meixian Chancellor said: "Don't be too happy, don't forget, there is still an elimination system for the last place. If you don't do well, Mr. Li doesn't show affection."

Hearing about the elimination system at the end, the people who were a little bit flustered just now felt a little bit of pressure in their hearts.

Such a good treatment, can't be the same as before, and definitely can't be eliminated.
"Meet the Patriarch, the Princess."

"Patriarch, Princess, you are back."

Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun nodded slightly, stepped into the mansion, and finally returned to the mansion.

"Husband, you have been busy for more than half a month, let's go back and rest first."

"Well, I'm a little tired, go back to the room to rest."

Once back to the mansion, the two walked towards the main house in tacit agreement.

I understand everything, newlyweds.

"Master Li, you are back."

Tian Zhiwei walked over excitedly.

He is the boss who was blown up by Li Xiao. He has been taken in by Li Xiao as a resident of the house, and he has been arranged to build a ship for him.

He discussed and researched with Ma He every day, and drew the design of a large ship.

Now he waits for Li Xiao in the mansion every day, letting him make up his mind.

No, walking around the mansion for the past few days, I saw Li Xiao at a glance.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow. I have been busy for half a month and need to rest."

Li Xiao waved his hands as he walked.

Tian Zhiwei: "."

Walk with wind.

Along the way, Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun went straight back to the main house.

"Husband."

"lady."

As soon as the two entered the room and closed the door, they couldn't wait.

"Husband, during this time, you have worked hard and worked hard for the people."

As she spoke, Zhu Ningyun picked up the teapot, ready to pour tea for Li Xiao.

"Ma'am, it's important to get down to business."

Li Xiao picked up Ningyun and planned to throw it on the bed.

Zhu Ningyun had a shy face. After getting married, he liked Li Xiao's dominance more and more, making it irresistible.

Young people, dry firewood, burn at a little bit, understandable.
bang bang bang! ! !
At this time, the door was knocked violently.

Li Xiao looked displeased, and shouted: "Who is it, didn't you say you didn't see anyone?"

Bang bang bang!
The door continued to be knocked.

Nonstop.

"Husband, go and see, who in the mansion is so ignorant."

Zhu Ningyun was also a little displeased, which servant dared to knock on the door like that?

Hey, Li Xiao's temper has also come up, he got up and walked to the door, opened the door, and cursed: "I want to see who is so brave, I have to say hello to my father-in-law and my mother-in-law today!" "

Standing outside the door was none other than King Yan Zhu Di and Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun.

"What did you just say? Why do you have to do it?"

Zhu Di frowned, staring at Li Xiaodao.

"I have to give my father-in-law a surprise."

Li Xiao reckoned that Ningyun's matter would be confessed, so it was a surprise.

"You surprised me, what kind of surprise?"

Zhu Di stared at Li Xiao, "Li Xiao, don't rely on this king to pamper you and treat you like a son, then you can run amok and say, where did my king's daughter Ningyun go?"

Xu Miaoyun pushed Zhu Di, eased the atmosphere, and looked at Li Xiao, "Son-in-law, please explain to the prince carefully, what's the matter with this righteous brother, why is he in your room? Where has Ningyun been all this time?"

Not waiting for Li Xiao to explain.

A voice came, making Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun stay in place.

"Father, mother and concubine."

Zhu Ningyun walked over, took off her hair bundle, three thousand black strands fell down, her black eyebrows were lightly drawn, her brown pupils were full of alluring hair, her lips were red with blood, her beauty was unearthly.

She performed a Wanfu ceremony, and a woman's light voice came out: "Daughter Ningyun, I have seen the father and the mother."

The voice fell.

The whole room was quiet, you could hear a needle drop, only the breathing of a few people.

Zhu Di and Zhu Ningyun looked at the woman in front of them in disbelief.

The voice was exactly that of his own daughter!

It's her, it's really her, it's her daughter Ningyun!

Although he has grown up, he is still the same!
It will never change.

The daughter's appearance. Has recovered? ? ?
This this this.
Zhu Ningyun took the lead in explaining: "Father, Queen Mother and Concubine, on the wedding night, Xiao Lang performed amazing medical skills and restored his daughter's appearance, even the bones of her body. Originally, she planned to confess decisively. I blame my daughter for letting Father and Queen Mother Concubine is worried."

At this time, the moods of Zhu Di and Zhu Ningyun were like turbulent waves hitting the shore, with endless ups and downs.

So excited, so shocking!
Zhu Di's eyes were obviously enlarged a little bit, and he was speechless.

Xu Miaoyun took Ningyun's hand and said excitedly: "Ningyun, is it really you?"

As usual, Zhu Ningyun held her concubine's hand and said affectionately: "It's a daughter, concubine mother, you read that right, I...really recovered my appearance."

As she said that, Zhu Ningyun's nose turned sore, and crystal clear tears rolled in her eyes.

Xu Miaoyun's hands trembled slightly, she couldn't believe this moment, as if she was dreaming.

The son-in-law is simply a god-man, how he did it is incredible.

But the fact is right in front of her eyes, and the one in front of her eyes is her daughter, so she can't be wrong.

"Daughter, you have suffered all these years, but fortunately, the rewards come from the hardships."

"Well, it's a blessing in disguise."

Mother and daughter embraced each other, and Xu Miaoyun was so moved that she cried, "God bless, Bodhisattva bless, let my daughter recover, it's great, it's great."

Zhu Di also came back to his senses, full of pleasant surprises, and laughed loudly: "Princess, what Bodhisattva blesses you, this is clearly the credit of Li Xiao."

Zhu Di excitedly looked at Li Xiao and said, "You kid, you're right, you really gave me a surprise, I know you won't treat my daughter badly!!"

As he said that, he excitedly held Li Xiao's shoulder like a brother, "Just now, this king didn't scare you, did he?"

Li Xiao touched his chest, "I'm a little scared, oops."

Zhu Di cared for Li Xiao's back, "Is it better?"

Li Xiao felt that it was okay to be skinny, and nodded hurriedly: "Father-in-law, it's much better."

Zhu Di is in a good mood. "Oh, I never thought that you have such medical skills. No wonder your mother and concubine don't cough at all now, thanks to you."

"Li Xiao only recently figured out a way to restore his appearance. Luck, luck." Li Xiao explained indiscriminately.

Zhu Di glanced at the mother and daughter who were embracing each other, and turned to look at Li Xiao without disturbing each other, "Come on, let's go out and have a chat."

"go!"

Li Xiao followed Yan Wang Zhu Di out.

Along the way, King Yan kept praising Li Xiao, and his joy was beyond words.

He really liked Li Xiao too much, and gave him too many surprises.

Especially this time, he didn't believe that Li Xiao was this kind of person at first, but later he became a little suspicious. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, his mood is like a roller coaster.

"Don't use suspects, and don't doubt employers. This king really blamed him."

"This son-in-law, you must trust him in everything from now on."

Thinking so, Zhu Di wandered around the mansion with Li Xiao.

"By the way, Li Xiao, I heard that you are very popular in Dong'an County, what do you want to do in the village?"

After Zhu Di praised Li Xiao for a while, he talked with Li Xiao about official affairs.

Li Xiao nodded, "Yes, is your father-in-law not optimistic?"

Zhu Di patted Li Xiao on the shoulder, "No, I'm very optimistic about it! It's very groundbreaking. If you do it well, it doesn't matter if you fail. If you fail, we will change you to be the magistrate of a county. Try it more and you will understand how to be a county magistrate." official."

Zhu Di was still thinking about trusting Li Xiao just now, but after thinking about it, Li Xiao is indeed talented in other areas, but being an official may not be the case.

But it doesn't matter, with him in the back, relying on his own power and Li Xiao's intelligence, he can definitely be cultivated.

Li Xiao: "."

Isn't this still not optimistic?
"Father-in-law, I think I can do a good job. The establishment of the dormitory will allow the court to manage it better."

Before Li Xiao finished speaking, Zhu Di waved his hand to interrupt.

"Actually, these are small things, and it doesn't matter if you do them well or not."

The two came to the gazebo by the lake, and Zhu Di sat down with a heavy heart.

"Father-in-law, what's on his mind?" Li Xiao asked.

Zhu Di nodded, looked at Li Xiao, and said seriously: "You are also our own family, and there is nothing to hide, let me show you."

Li Xiao nodded and sat down.

Zhu Di said slowly: "There's news from Night's Absence that the present crown prince, that is, this king's elder brother Zhu Biao is dying, and this king is already making preparations to fight for the crown prince."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Xiao and said, "Do you think this king should fight?"

Li Xiao was slightly taken aback.

This is really a big deal!
