The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public
Chapter 32: Greed is good
The next morning, Yu Jiuer gathered all the workers and assigned half of them to build the greenhouse and the other half to rebuild the old city.
In the old town area south of the farm, there are many houses left by Yinshan’s ancestors.
After the invasion of the Western Regions and the enslavement of people, the population of Yinshan was reduced from tens of thousands to more than 5,000 people. Many houses were vacant and most of them are now collapsed and uninhabitable. However, the streets are still flat, so it should not be difficult to demolish the old houses and rebuild them.
After solving the problem of food and accommodation for the people and giving them some peace of mind, there is no need to worry that they will not come.
There must be no fewer people in Yinshan this year, otherwise the old emperor will have another excuse to waste their time. She has to revive this dilapidated Yinshan County.
The common people planted their crops earlier than she did, and most of them are now busy with the autumn harvest; her crops can also be harvested next month. She is confident that the grain yield from the fields she sows will definitely be higher than that of the common people.
This is her magic weapon to impress the people and make them feel at ease.
The workers began to get busy again.
A few days later, Cheng An, who had gone to Liangzhou to protest, said: "Prefect Dou sent people to Xiguanying to find out the situation. General Pan denied the arson incident and said that we were not good at supervision, framed him, and blackmailed him! Prefect Dou confiscated all the evidence. It's really hateful!"
"I expected this to happen! I just didn't expect Prefect Dou to take sides? Ha! This is going to be fun!" Yu Jiuer sneered and said to Cheng An, "Don't worry about it for now, someone will take care of it! Thank you for your hard work!"
Prince Jing, let me see how you are going to get back at this loss!
Later, no one knew what Jun Mo did, but Pan Yang really didn't have any more tricks up his sleeve. Yu Jiuer finally felt relieved.
The second uncle asked Yu Jiuer in confusion: "Is Pan Yang feeling guilty or is he afraid?"
Yu Jiuer sneered, "Can you expect a wolf with insufficient ambition to have a conscience? He should be afraid of Prince Jing temporarily. I hope Prince Jing can keep intimidating him."
Yu Jiuer originally wanted to concentrate on taking care of her baby, find a place to sit and watch the fight between two tigers, but God couldn't bear to see her idle, what a miserable life!
It’s just entered October.
That day, the captain Wang Meng came to him with a look of rage on his face, "Sir, today we went to pull the stones as usual, but Pan Yang's people refused to let us, saying that the contract you signed with General Cheng was 'unequal' and they wanted to set a new price!"
"What?" Yu Jiuer slapped the table angrily, almost crying from the pain, "He doesn't dare to deal with Prince Jing, so he's looking for an easy target?"
His dog eyes are blinded!
Yu Jiuer paced back and forth with her big belly. She had to think of a way to deal with him!
After a moment, she smiled slyly: "Let's settle all the old and new grudges together this time! Send someone to call General Cheng to me!"
The anti-fascist struggle is about to begin!
After Cheng Ming arrived, Yu Jiuer said straight to the point: "I have thought of a way to deal with Pan Yang!"
"What method?" Cheng Ming almost jumped up with joy.
"Strike Movement!"
"What the hell is that?" Cheng Ming felt like his brain was not enough.
Yu Jiuer did not answer but asked: "Are those prisoners very obedient to you?"
"That's right! There was no comparison and no harm before, but as soon as Pan Yang took over, they suffered. Now who doesn't cry bitterly and thank me profusely when they see me?" General Cheng looked proud when he spoke of this.
Yu Jiuer patted his shoulder and said, "That's fine. Go back and encourage them to go on strike and suspend the construction of the Great Wall until Pan Yang compromises and lets you continue to manage the prisoners! We have to isolate him, sideline him, and make him a governor without any troops!"
If no one repairs the Great Wall, someone will spread bad words, and the emperor will most likely get angry. Shouldn't Pan Yang be anxious now?
Those who lose the support of the people are doomed to fail!
"But what if he bites people randomly like a mad dog, and kills a few prisoners in a rage to serve as a warning to others?"
Yu Jiuer smiled wisely: "Don't worry about this. I will reveal the news to Prince Jing later and let Prince Jing's people go to the scene to protect the prisoner! With Prince Jing's people around, he will be afraid."
"Great! Now I can finally vent my anger!" Cheng Ming clapped his hands with joy. His eyes and brows were brightened. He was even more excited than if he had won five million.
Jun Mo, on the other side, received the note from Yu Jiuer and curled his lips and said, "She is really good at using me! Striking? Can she even think of that?"
Deputy General Wei Zheng said in disbelief: "Master, this county magistrate is a very smart person! It would be great if he could support us!"
Li Yun, the staff member, said, "You just came from the Northern Frontier and don't understand. If you knew her great achievements in the capital, and how she dared to seize the mansion of the prince of the Western Regions despite her weak strength, you would know that she is not someone who can be manipulated by others. However, she is greedy for money!"
"It's good to be greedy for money!" Jun Mo lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and then ordered, "Take some time to treat her to tea!"
"Yes!"
Yu Jiuer, who was flipping through the account book, suddenly sneezed several times.
If she knew that Prince Jing wanted to invite her for tea, she would probably jump up if her belly was so big that it could no longer be concealed.
With Yu Jiuer's good plan, Cheng Ming mustered up his courage and openly fought with Pan Yang in Xiguanying.
Not long after, he sent someone to bring the news that Pan Yang was forced to compromise and finally agreed to let him continue to manage the prisoners.
Yu Jiuer stroked her belly and laughed: Baby, look! This is how the lever principle works!
However, materials such as stone were still under the management of Pan Yang, and Yu Jiuer still could not get cheap stone, so she had to change the plan of rebuilding the old city.
She said to her second uncle, "If the old city cannot be rebuilt, we can only repair it. With the Lu family's craftsmen here, we can use wood to repair it and live here for a few years."
There was also the issue of her own accommodation. The backyard of the county government office was too close to the yamen, and if a child was born there, it would be easy for him to be exposed if outsiders came to visit.
Since she couldn't build a house without stones, she could only find a way to build a wooden house.
"By the way, aren't there a lot of old trees on the farm? We can build a tree house there!"
The second uncle was too lazy to think and just said, "You are smart, just make the decision. I will go to the county government to take care of the affairs!"
Yu Jiuer started drawing the blueprint right away.
On this day, the blueprint was finally finished, and Yu Jiuer couldn't wait to go to where the Lu family's craftsman lived: "Uncle Lu, aren't there a lot of big trees left over on the farm? I want to build a tree house there. Can you help me see if this design can be done?"
"Sir, why did you come here in person? You can just send someone to call her!" Lu Zhishen's mother, Lu Lin, hurriedly moved a chair and helped the pregnant Yu Jiuer to sit down.
"It's not far, it's okay!"
The craftsmen of the Lu family have been living in the old house next to the county government office since they returned. It is time to build a house for them.
"You have worked so hard for so long, it's time to build your own house. Come and take a look at the tree house I designed. I want to build one on the farm for myself." Yu Jiuer spread out the drawings in her hand, "You can also choose one to build for yourself, and I will pay for it."
Lu Da shook his head. The newly renovated houses in Laocheng District were already habitable, so how could he afford to show favoritism?
He originally wanted to be polite, but when he saw Yu Jiuer's drawings, he was stunned.
This is so beautiful!
"We have built thousands of houses, but we have never seen such an exquisite and elegant tree house! It is so extraordinary even before it is completed! If it is completed, it will not be famous? If we can build such a house, won’t the craftsmen of my Lu family become famous throughout the Great Dong Dynasty?" Lu Da stared at the blueprint intently, drooling.
Lu Da's second brother Lu Sheng smiled foolishly and said, "How can you have the nerve to build such a beautiful house for yourself to live in?"
"Don't be embarrassed. Many things in Yinshan County depend on the craftsmen of the Lu family. This is the reward for your contribution to your hometown. Just take it with confidence! Besides, I still need Sister Lu Yue's help!"
My second uncle's daughter, Lu Yue'er, came to serve tea. She was the master's maid in the Western Regions and was drugged to make her infertile for life. There was no hope for her to get married in this life and she could only live alone until old age.
A few days ago on the farm, she saw Lu Yue'er helping several workers take care of their children. She was patient and meticulous. Her eyes were full of eagerness when she looked at the children. Yu Jiuer knew that she liked children very much.
When she heard the county magistrate calling her name, she timidly bowed and replied, "Excuse me, sir, what do you want me to do?"
"Sister Lu Yue, I plan to open a nursery on the farm and would like to find two attentive women to help take care of the children. Are you willing?"
As if a pie in the sky had suddenly hit her, Lu Yue trembled all over. She? She was not redundant, she also had a job?
She looked at her grandfather somewhat bewilderedly, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
How could Lu Da not understand Yu Jiuer's good intentions?
The craftsmen of the Lu family all have proud skills and are busy all day long contributing to their hometown, but Lu Yue has not learned any skills. She is also in poor health and cannot do heavy work, so she has been idle at home.
Yu Jiuer is helping them!
"Thank you, sir, if you want to go!" Luda said with a smile.
Lu Yue knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Yu Jiuer: "Thank you very much, sir, for not despising me!"
As October approached, the weather in Yinshan County began to get colder, and the renovation and reconstruction of houses in the old city were coming to an end. However, some people were reluctant to leave their land and had no plans to move here.
Yu Jiuer was not in a hurry either. She was waiting for the crops on her farm to have a good harvest, so she was not afraid that they would not come.
The Lu family craftsmen were busy helping to repair the old house and build the tree house.
Fortunately, Yu Jiuer assigned more than 200 people to help them, and things went smoothly.
