Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 719 Dispatching
Du Jinning walked out of the yamen, she was not emotional, but Aoki who was following her was very angry.

"Master, shall we just let them do this?" He suppressed his emotions and asked.

"Then what else?" Du Jinning asked him back.

"Should we..." Before Aoki could finish his sentence, Du Jinning threw a sharp glance at him, making him shut up in time and realize the mistake he almost made.

That's right, the emperor sent two secret guards to follow the young master, why don't you know?Why would he need to suggest that the young master write a letter back to Beijing to file a complaint?Isn't that superfluous?

Thinking of this made him feel better.

After Du Jinning left the Yamen, he went home first to look at the seedlings planted in the field.

"Master, don't worry, we all follow your orders. We dare not take more than one step, and dare not take less than one step." An old farmer surnamed Wang laughed.

He was originally a tenant farmer near Guangxi Province, and the land he rented and planted was sold to Du Jinning, and he became a tenant farmer of Du's family.Because his crops were doing well, Du Jinning invited him to come to his house to farm at a price of three taels of silver every month.

After excluding expenses, the peasant households have less than a few taels of silver left over from their annual income.Now food and housing are included, and three or two months of money is paid every month. His wife also earns a share of money by doing chores in the house, and the income is very considerable; moreover, there are not many fields in the house, so It is not tiring to take care of the work carefully.Therefore, old man Wang is grateful to Du Jinning and cherishes this job very much.

When Du Jinning went to the capital, he asked him if he would like to follow, and he immediately agreed.Now, he followed Runzhou again.

Having seen Du Jinning's ability, he is very convinced of Du Jinning, unlike Song Zhuangtou.

"Father Wang, you have done a good job in this field." Du Jinning was very satisfied with Old Man Wang, "You ask the three of them to come over, I have something to tell you to do."

Old man Wang immediately called the other three people over.

These three are also peasants hired by Du Jinning.One, like old man Wang, had followed Du Jinning from Guangxi province; the other two were tenant farmers near the capital.

"I bought [-] mu of land outside the city and plan to plant double-cropping rice there. Only one person in the house will be fine, and the other three will follow me to Zhuangzi to guide the people there in farming." Du Jinning said, " But let me tell you first, you have to eat and live there, and you are only allowed to come back for one day in half a month, and it is in rotation. When you are busy, you can only come back once a month."

She glanced at the four of them: "Whoever you want to go, whoever wants to stay, sign up by yourself."

Without even thinking about it, old man Wang said directly, "I am willing to go."

When another man from Guangxi Province saw Old Man Wang sign up, he immediately followed suit and said, "I'd like to go too."

Among the two in the capital, one of them was a middle-aged man in his forties who lowered his head and remained silent, while the other in his fifties hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I will go too."

Du Jinning looked at the remaining middle-aged strong man, and said expressionlessly: "Then it's settled. Go to Zhuangzi for the three people, and the monthly allowance will be increased to six taels."

All three of them raised their heads with surprise on their faces.

It used to be three or two, but now it has doubled directly.Although going to Zhuangzi must be harder than staying at the mansion, the young master spends so much money to support them every month, isn't it for this purpose?They know that if they want to do this job for a long time, they must not be afraid of hard work.

When the remaining man heard the June and February case, he immediately showed regret.

Everyone left, and he was the only one to cultivate the fields in the mansion. Thinking about it, it was no less difficult than others.When everyone else pays six taels, but he only has three taels of silver, he doesn't worry about scarcity but unevenness, and he feels uncomfortable at all.

But he chose the road, and he couldn't say anything about complaining.

He rolled his eyes and said to the old man in the capital: "Brother Qin, why don't you stay and let me go to Zhuangzi instead? You are old and not in good health, how can you afford such hard work."

The old man Qin immediately frowned, gave him a disdainful look, and coldly vetoed: "No need."

Du Jinning had already planned to let this guy go back to the capital to eat his own food.

Originally, according to her idea, among the three people, although the old man Qin had good planting experience, but his health was a little weaker, he stayed at the mansion, and he could invite a doctor in time even if he was sick.And this strong middle-aged man went to Zhuangzi together.

But she didn't want this man to be such a big and strong man, but he preferred the easy and feared the heavy, stealing rape and playing tricks, which really made her look down on him.

But at this time, it was the time of employing people, so she did not drive them away immediately, but said: "That's the decision. Liang Erzhu, you stay at the mansion and take good care of these seedlings. The [-] mu of land on my village is all With these seedlings, if something goes wrong, I will hold you accountable."

She turned to the old man Qin again and said: "Father Qin, you will also stay at the mansion for a while and help take care of these seedlings. When the seedlings are ready to grow, you can go to the Zhuangzi."

"Okay, okay." Old man Qin has a strong sense of responsibility, and he doesn't trust Liang Erzhu to take care of the seeds he planted by himself.Since the young master said that the seedlings are very important, he is naturally willing to stay in the house, so as not to make a mistake and affect the young master's important affairs.

Only then did Liang Erzhu feel comfortable.

He hesitated and asked: "Brother Qin, this month's money..."

Du Jinning looked at him coldly: "Just do your own thing well, you don't have to worry about these."

Liang Erzhu realized belatedly that the young master was already very dissatisfied with him.

He immediately changed his face, and smiled at Du Jinning: "Young master said yes, I overstepped. Don't worry, young master, I will definitely work hard. Even if the work of four people becomes two people, I will be alone in the future." I will also make the fields well, and I am not afraid of hard work."

He was crying out in disguise.

But Du Jinning didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words, and said with a straight face: "With three taels of silver a month, you don't plant as many fields as you used to in Zhuangzi. If you think it's okay to deal with this It's very hard, so you should go back to the capital." After a pause, she said, "If you want to leave, I'll ask someone to take you back immediately."

The man was startled, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, master, I didn't mean that, I will work hard."

Du Jinning ignored him and turned to leave. Before leaving, he said to Old Man Wang, "I'll give you a meal to pack your luggage. After a meal, gather at the door and take a car to Zhuangzi."

"Yes, young master." Old man Wang responded quickly.

……

In a certain house in the city, Cao Hongshou, the magistrate of Runzhou, was notified by the guards that Du Jinning went to the Yamen after a round of calling and left, so he went straight home, so he got up and went to the Yamen.

When the other two acquaintances got the news, they also rushed to the Yamen from home.

One of his colleagues named Wang Yugui said to Cao Hongshou in a difficult way: "Lord Cao, he won't act like a stupefied young man and keep arguing like this? It's not a problem for us to hide like this every day, in case someone sues him , saying that we come to the yamen very late every day, and we are afraid that we will be sued by the higher-ups."

The other man named Ma Jian sat there expressionlessly, silent, but pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two.
