She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Chapter 36

Although I don't know what the little lady is going to do, but after seeing her methods, everyone has no doubts about her actions.

Everyone thought desperately: Anyway, they can't figure it out, and if they figure it out, they can't stop them, just obey.

Speaking of which, this feeling seemed familiar, until they saw Cui Fuyin, they realized, this...isn't Cui Fuyin's attitude towards his master?
If you can't beat it, join...

Seven days later, Li Yewu once again called a meeting of the people in the house.

Among them, it is particularly emphasized that all the handymen must be present at the meeting, and no one is allowed to be absent.

The handymen complained incessantly, after all, bandits appeared in the handyman's class not long ago, and after that, Shang Wangfu's defense against them was like guarding against thieves.

Where to go, what to do, they were repeatedly questioned, and the old housekeeper would come to admonish them every now and then to prevent them from disagreeing again.

And now, even the princess has to give them routine lectures.

Everyone came to the hall helplessly, ready to be punished, but who knew that the content of the meeting was quite different from what they had imagined.

Li Yewu's first sentence was: "Is there anyone in your family?"

"Uh..." The handyman and servants looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing what the princess was going to do for a while, and dared not answer easily.

"Little madam asked, why are you faltering." Boss Zi Cui frowned dissatisfiedly: "It's not that they are afraid of copying the family and killing the nine clans."

"..." Everyone, who wasn't afraid at first, suddenly became afraid after being told like this.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing." Li Yewu smiled and comforted her.

Only then did everyone bow again and again: "That...reporting to the princess, my parents are still alive at home, and my brother and I make a total of three people."

"The younger one is also with parents alive and four brothers."

"Three younger brothers, parents are gone, but grandparents are still..."

Li Yewu nodded in satisfaction. It seems that ancient times were really multi-population families.

It's just that the family population of these handymen and servants adds up to nearly a hundred people, which is a good new force.

"I took a look at your deeds of prostitution. Except for a few who are from slums, the rest are all from surrounding counties?"

"Yes."

Speaking of which, besides the main city of Taihe City, Taihe Prefecture also has four counties.

The total population is 120 million, of which 80 refugees fled to the refugee camp in the main city, and the population of the remaining four counties is less than 30.

However, these 30 people have continued the original farming method, and the family fields have not been plowed, and the redundant brothers and sisters will let them go to the provincial capital to find work.

Many of the handymen here went to the city to work in this way.

Li Yewu nodded: "I'm going to build a house in the outskirts of the city now. You can ask if anyone in the family wants to do this job. There is no limit to the number of people, and the treatment is favorable. 200 cash per day, three meals are included, and the working hours are about 1-3 months. , can also resist corvee.”

Not to mention the handyman, even the followers stared wide-eyed.

The little lady is going to build a house in the suburbs?

And 200 cash a day?
You know, even the handyman servants who work in Shang Wang's Mansion only earn 1000 Wen a month, and they can earn a month's money by going to the construction site for 5 days!

How many full a month is 6 taels of silver!Three months is 18 taels!

This is a very, very, very large amount of money, and the most important thing is that it can offset corvee labor!

If all the strong laborers in the family are dispatched...you don't have to worry about tax money this year!
For a moment, the eyes of the handyman servant were full of excitement.

"Ma'am, is it true?"

"Why are you lying to me? I'll give you three days off right now. Hurry up and go home to find someone. Whether it's from your family or from the next-door village in the same village, as long as you want to make money, as long as you know how to build a house, come here."

With a wave of Li Yewu's hand, everyone actively left.

After the handyman and servant left, the old housekeeper and the rest of the attendants asked suspiciously: "Madam, although the Shang Palace is completely bare, it is not too difficult to live in. It is quite comfortable to buy some furniture. It is not good for you to move to the suburbs." After all, there is no safety outside the city.”

"Speaking of this, I just want to talk to Fu Yin, let's go there together."

Li Yewu was not in a hurry to answer, but put forward a new request.

???

The old butler was dumbfounded, but in order to solve his inner curiosity, he could only follow along cooperatively.

At this time, Cui Fuyin was packing up things in the yard, when he heard that Li Yewu came to visit again, his heart skipped a beat.

Speaking of which, that day he unkindly shifted the responsibility to the Prince's Mansion. He was just trying to delay the attack. Who would have thought that someone would be so extreme and rush to the gate of the Palace.

It is said that the little lady also killed more than a dozen people.

Although the emperor committed the same crime as the common people, it was the common people who attacked the palace first, and the law of the Great Chu states that "anyone who violates the majesty of the heavenly family will be killed without mercy."

Furthermore, even if it is to be dealt with, there must be a report first.

But it has been seven or eight days since the incident, and none of the victim's family members have come, which shows that everyone knows the consequences of rushing the door, and they think they are unlucky.

So Cui Fuyin should not know.

Of course, he would never admit that it was because he was guilty of misfortune, so he deliberately ignored it.

However, there is one thing to say, although he is not kind first, it is indeed hateful for Li Yewu to kill first and then play later.

Without even discussing with him, she put up a notice saying that the benefits for next month would not be paid.

Although she is the wife of the city lord, she can do whatever she likes.

However, if the welfare of 80 people is cancelled, it will be cancelled, and Dachu will not be in chaos.

Just because there is no movement for a while does not mean that the change will go smoothly.

It is the calm before the storm, the darkest night before the dawn.

When these 80 people finish eating the things they have hoarded over the years, they will immediately riot.

Therefore, in order for him to return home smoothly, Cui Fuyin decided to find a way out.

Before the chaos in Taihe City, he must leave here, no matter what excuse he uses, he can't stay anyway.

Cui Fuyin has been counting the treasures in the yard for the past few days. Of course, there is nothing valuable. After all, his big ambition is not in his official career. Besides, he was assigned to Taihe City, not to be sucked by the king... No, not to be squeezed dry by bandits. That's fine, let alone saving any money.

There is no money, but there are many famous flowers and plants all over the yard, which he found in the mountains and jungles around Taihe City.

How can these things be transported away...

The more Cui Fu Yin tidied up, the more he had a headache. He was reluctant to let go of this, and couldn't let go of that...

At this time, Li Yewu came to the door.

Cui Fuyin hastily asked someone to leave her in the front hall, then tidied up her clothes and went out.

"I don't know if my wife is visiting today, I'm not welcoming you far away, I'm rude and rude."

"Okay, let's not go around the bush, I want to build a house in the suburbs, so I ask Mr. Fu Yin for help."

"?" Cui Fuyin was confused: "Build... build a house? I don't know where the little lady plans to build it."

"Near [-] mu of fertile land in the eastern suburbs."

"These fertile fields are under the control of the young lady, you can just build them, you don't need to ask the government for approval."

"No, I want you to issue a call-up order for paid corvee service in each county."
