Seeing Liu Ji jumping away like springs on the soles of his feet, everyone in the courtyard announced that he was also a man with pocket money.
Qin Yao curled her lips, it was embarrassing.
Lower your head and continue taking stock.
Recently, the order for the magical book box from Fulong Trading Company was completed. Song Yu went to Fucheng to settle the subsequent accounts. After excluding various costs and taxes, Qin Yao personally received 650 taels of silver.
This time, Song Yu failed to bring more orders. The demand from Fulong Trading Company was greatly reduced, and they only ordered 2,000 pieces, which were to be delivered within half a year.
On average, stationery factories will only receive about 60 taels of orders per month in the first half of next year.
If it weren't for the new product Lady Box, Qin Yao would have taken a breath.
Dang Ji told Song Yu Yunniang and others to continue to develop new products and not to slack off.
However, with these 650 taels in the account, the 170 taels required for the annual gift does not seem so painful.
There has been an increase and a decrease. Counting the original amount, Qin Yao now still has 2736 taels of cash in hand, as well as a warehouse full of grain.
In addition, one hundred mother-of-pearl ladies' boxes will be delivered at the end of this month. If everything goes well, another huge sum of money can be received before New Year's Eve.
After calculating the accounts, Qin Yao felt comfortable again.
The money and food in her hands now give her a great sense of security. If she can continue to cooperate with the new county magistrate, her life as a landowner will be much happier.
Song Zhang's family will leave after the new year. Based on this calculation, the new county magistrate will be in place within two months of the new year. When the time comes, prepare a small gift and let Liu Ji take him over to try out the new county magistrate's idea.
However, this kind of thing must be done if you want me to do it. Nowadays, the folk customs in Kaiyang County have become extremely good. There is only one Wang Mawu left who is a tortoise with no ability to make trouble.
On the contrary, Qin Yao, the 'Evil Ghost Empress', has an even worse reputation on the road. Don't let the new official take office and set her on fire.
Thinking of this, Qin Yao felt that she couldn't be too optimistic. Even if the new county magistrate and Song Zhang were Jinshi in the same class and behaved like a gentleman, people would change.
Forget it, let's talk about it then, there's no point in thinking about it now.
After closing the account book, Qin Yao stood up and stretched, picked up the small charcoal jar that could be held in her arms, and went out to inspect the village.
It was going to snow, so she had to notify every household to get ready, take a look at the widows and elderly people in the village, pay attention to the temperature changes, and prepare enough warm materials.
This year, people in the village have become richer. 90% of the villagers have enough supplies for the winter, so Qin Yao no longer needs to worry.
The remaining 10% are lonely old people who have lost their labor force. There are three in total.
There were originally five, but two froze to death in the past few years, and now there are only three.
Because they were unable to work and two of them had chronic diseases, in the past, they would have basically been waiting to die.
But after Qin Yao became the village chief, she allocated part of the clan's public funds to distribute free food and vegetables to the three elderly people every month, ensuring their basic livelihood.
In this way, the three old people, who thought they would not survive the spring, lived well until the winter.
Thick clothes were needed for winter, and they still came from the public house. Qin Yao asked Liu Yang and other young people in the village to help repair the house of the three of them, so that it was no longer ventilated. As long as the charcoal fire is sufficient, spring will come again.
Many people in the village had objections to what Qin Yao did, but Qin Yao said: "In the future, all villagers in Liujia Village will be treated like this when they become old and weak."
The villagers no longer complained, but felt at ease that they had someone to rely on. Qin Yao also plans to use part of the dividends to the villagers as pensions for the villagers in the future, and also encourages other villagers who have not participated in shares to hand over a part of the clan's money every year for pension security.
After the money in this unified account reaches a certain amount, she plans to hand it over to the young people in the village who are good at business and let them make money.
Regarding this plan, the old village chief and clan chief are very supportive and are helping to lobby the villagers. If optimistic, it can be implemented in the beginning of next spring.
Qin Yao has not been idle these days. With Liu Ji greeting Song Zhang's family, she does not need to worry about interpersonal relationships. She takes this opportunity to form a team of village assistant leaders in Liujia Village in the village.
On the premise of maintaining the original organizational structure of village chiefs and patriarchs, due to the increasing number of problems and conflicts caused by the increasing number of floating people in Liujia Village, there is a serious shortage of management personnel in the village.
Therefore, the unofficial position of village assistant was specially added to assist the village chief and clan leader in managing everything in the village.
As soon as this request was made, it received strong support from all the villagers in Liujia Village.
After all, this is a legitimate position, which is completely different from the previous years when the village chief and clan leader just called someone casually.
After all the villagers voted, Liu Dafu, Liu Yang, Liu Qi, and Liu Zhong were finally selected as village assistants.
Qin Yao inspected the village and called all the four people who could be called over, asking them to find someone to trim the branches extending from the roadside to prevent the weather from getting colder and freezing, and the ice falling and accidentally injuring passers-by.
"There are also the three old people in the village. When it snows, they will be arranged to live in the same house for the winter. They will take care of each other. The charcoal fire in the village will also be saved, and it will be easier for the village to take care of them."
The only ones who could come were Liu Dafu and Liu Yang. The old man and the young man carefully wrote down the village chief's instructions.
"That's right!" Qin Yao remembered an important thing and told Liu Yang: "At the foot of the mountain, arrange for two idle people from the village to go there when they have nothing to do to prevent wild beasts from coming down the mountain and hurting people and animals. "
Liu Yang: "Okay."
After the two of them dispersed, Qin Yao went to the school again.
Classes have been open for several days, and Zhen Yubai rarely goes to Lian Yuan during the day. Qin Yao observes secretly at night and only catches him once.
No surprise, he was yelled away again by Gong Liangxiao without mercy.
Qin Yao guessed that someone in the capital might want to call Gong Liangliao back.
However, the old man obviously didn't want to get involved in the disputes in the court anymore, and he didn't even want to hear Zhen Yubai mention the people behind him.
Putting herself in her shoes, if she was disturbed like this, she would probably have wanted to kill that person.
But even though there are many doubts about Zhen Yubai, it cannot be denied that his teaching quality is excellent and he is very patient with his students.
Because the children at home always say how good the master is, the villagers are also very enthusiastic about the master. Anything good at home is sent to the school.
Zhen Yubai didn't know how to cook. After he recovered from his illness, he hired a village lady to prepare two meals a day for him, and also helped with cleaning, laundry, etc.
Qin Yao also had some insinuations with this aunt, and found that Zhen Yubai was nothing unusual except that she liked to visit Lotus Courtyard at night. She was just a teacher who really liked children.
"village head?"
Zhen Yubai walked out from the back of the school room, carrying a bamboo basket in one hand and a small hoe in the other, as if digging wild vegetables.
She was a little surprised to see Qin Yao standing outside the classroom door. (End of chapter)
