A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 214 Donations
On the ledger, there are still nearly 8000 taels of money and food in stock.

Now I don't have to worry about money and food anymore.

Immediately, Zhao Ligong told Wang Lidong about the current situation of money and food in the county government.

After Wang Lidong listened, he didn't care and said:

"Make up for what you owe, and leave the rest of the money to Mr."

Zhao Ligong was overjoyed and said:

"Good benefactor.

In fact, the main cost of this renovation project is materials.

In terms of manpower, when the time comes, let the Lijia recruit some corvees, and at most they can manage a meal for these people. "

Wang Lidong hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"Sir, one of the purposes of this renovation is to give the idlers in the city a job.

Most of them are in the city where they can't escape, and they must not have much savings, and there will always be a day when they will run out.

If there is no work all the time, the whole family will go hungry.

At that time, in order to have a bite to eat, there is no guarantee that he will not do some sneaky things.

Seriously, it's not even possible to kill people and get more goods.

So this time there is no need for corvee, all the workers will be recruited, and they will be given as much as they should be paid.No less than one point, once a week. "

"But the repair project will end one day, at that time."

Wang Lidong knew what Zhao Ligong was worried about, but this kind of trivial matter was too simple for him.Now that he has money and technology, it is amazing that when he builds a labor-intensive factory, he will not be afraid of another [-] refugees.

"There will be other arrangements at that time."

Linjiang County Shunyuan Waijia

A young Huaxin woman was standing in front of the Patriarch of the Shun family, weeping.

"Waiyuan, you have to save my man.

Now the new county magistrate has sentenced my man to death.

If he dies, the servants don't want to live anymore. "

After speaking, he began to sob again.

Seeing this, Shun Yuanwai hurried forward and hugged the young woman, comfortingly said:
"Xiu Niang, don't worry, master, I will write a letter to the magistrate Master Zhu later.

Guaranteed that in a few days, your family will be able to return safe and sound. "

The young woman named Xiu Niang immediately stopped crying and said in surprise:
"Member, don't lie to me. Is this the county government's death penalty?"

Shun Yuanwai waved his right hand and said proudly:
"Hao De's accusation was originally false.

We, Shunji Yaxing, have been operating in Linhai County for hundreds of years, and no one knows about it.

I believe that the magistrate will be able to see clearly, and will never wrong a good person. "

Then he added:

"The second boy has already sent me a letter. After the year-end assessment, he will be promoted to the sixth rank. I will mention this in the letter. I think the magistrate will definitely give us face."

He was still thinking in his heart that even if the magistrate didn't give him face, he was prepared to fall back.

Just in the morning, the owners of the four dental shops that were raided got together to discuss countermeasures.

I feel that the county magistrate Wang Lidong doesn't understand the rules, and he hasn't taken the initiative to visit several houses since he took office.

And this move to seal up the tooth shop shows that the county magistrate is full of hostility towards them, the gentry.

That being the case, let this little county magistrate get out of Linhai County.

After Wang Lidong leaves, the case will definitely be overturned, so no matter whether the magistrate helps or not, the result will be the same.

The young woman immediately said in surprise:
"The embroiderer would like to thank Yuanwai. After my man comes back, I will definitely ask him to back up a gift and send it to Yuanwai."

Shun Yuanwai put his arms around the young woman and said with a smile:
"Master owes me a lot of favors for this matter. How can you thank me, Miss Xiu?"

"Young escort, a letter from the chief escort."

Wang Lidong was a little strange, what kind of letter was he writing so well.

If there is anything, just send him a message.

When I opened it, it turned out that I was about to become a county magistrate soon.

The day before yesterday, the former county magistrate of Linjiang had gone to Jiangbei to take up his post.

It was the magistrate who took the initiative to send someone to inform the old man about this matter.

Lin Zhennan immediately understood, and went to the magistrate's yamen that day.

When he left, the magistrate had an extra 3000 tael bank note in his pocket.

The old man told him that within a month, the appointment would definitely be in his hands.

The prefect is really poor and crazy.

But it is also a happy event for him. After all, he has been promoted to the county magistrate, and many things will be done in a justifiable way.

Thinking that he was about to be promoted to county magistrate, Wang Lidong waved his hand, indicating that there will be an extra meal tonight, and asked the kitchen to add two big meat dishes.

While waiting for dinner, Wang Lidong went to two cafeterias on purpose.

One is the yamen staff canteen, and the other is a canteen for children.

Walking to the door of the large cafeteria converted from the original military equipment warehouse, a smell of vegetables rushes into the nostrils.

After smelling it, Wang Lidong roughly guessed what kind of food was prepared in the cafeteria tonight.

Seeing all the yamen servants lining up neatly to serve food, Wang Lidong seemed to have returned to the later generations in a trance.

The layout here is similar to the school cafeterias of later generations, and all meals are unlimited, free of money, and of course cannot be wasted.

If you find waste, you will be fined ten times the price of vegetables.

"Less darts."

"Master Lin."

"Hello, my lord."

Seeing Wang Lidong, everyone hurriedly saluted.

"it is good,"

"it is good."

He returned the salute while asking about the food situation.

The current standard for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the county government was re-established by Wang Lidong.

At noon and night, there are two big meat dishes, three small meat dishes and five vegetarian dishes. Tonight is an extra meal, so there are four big meat dishes.

"Young Escort, I am willing to serve this meal even if there is no pay."

"My lord, how can you be dissatisfied with such abundance."

After asking a few people, they were all very satisfied with the current food, and Wang Lidong felt relieved.

Then he went around the cafeteria, and found that everyone was spitting, like a starved ghost reincarnated.

Because you can eat whatever you want without paying, the kitchen in the cafeteria was exhausted on the first day of opening.

It took two full rounds of dishes to finally fill up everyone's stomachs.

For this matter, Zhao Ligong went out of his way to find him.

Mainly because it is too expensive.

For food expenses alone, the daily expenses of the entire yamen cost 15 to 20 taels of silver.

After a month, it will cost five or six hundred taels of silver.

Last year, the entire Linhai county government had only spent more than 4000 taels of silver, including the salaries of all officials.

If things go on like this, within half a year, their yamen will be in shortfall.

After hearing this, Wang Lidong said that in the future, the food expenses of the county government will be paid for by himself, not by the government.

In the past, there was only one meal in the county government with meat dishes, and the other meals were vegetarian dishes, and most of the staple food was miscellaneous grains.

Everyone responded that they couldn't get enough to eat every meal. In this state, how could they put their heart into doing errands.

In addition to Wang Lidong's regulations, the yamen servants must practice every day.

If you don't improve your diet, you will definitely not be able to practice halfway through the training.

You have to eat meat when practicing martial arts, otherwise there will be no trace of oil in your stomach. In the process of practicing martial arts, no matter how much food you eat, you will be very hungry.

Moreover, the dozens of young students I have trained happen to be growing up, and nutrition must keep up at this time.

Zhao Ligong was a little worried, Wang Lidong wouldn't be able to persist if he didn't persist for two months.

After all, according to the cost of this kind of food, it would cost six to seven thousand taels of silver a year.

He sighed straightly: "Poor culture and rich martial arts, the ancients did not deceive me sincerely."
