I'm doing infrastructure around the tyrant [system]

To speak loftily of reading is to cultivate one's morality, but to speak down-to-earth is actually nothing more than fame and fortune.

In this ancient time where life was difficult, if reading a book would only recite poems and write lyrics to hurt the spring and autumn, ordinary people would not be so reverent, who cares about poems and songs when they can't eat enough.

The reason why everyone hopes so much for their children and grandchildren to be able to read and write is not because they are more knowledgeable and better at fighting.

Grandmother Tang was not well educated, and that was the reason why she wanted her grandson to study. If she couldn't take the imperial examination to become an official, what would she do with so many books?

"Grandson Yu, what's going on? Don't scare grandma..."

The old lady finally looked at it squarely, and she didn't let go of reading without a single muscle.

To be honest, Grandmother Tang's personality is indeed a bit weird, but she is actually a very shrewd old lady. After all, the environment makes people, and it is impossible for Grandma Tang to live without being smart based on her childhood experience.

Everyone in the family also raised their ears and looked at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu coughed and lied without changing his expression.

"It's not convenient to tell the specific situation. Anyway, my friend has some information. He told me that the princes in Wangcheng are fighting fiercely. King Qin can't control the overall situation at all, and the situation in the Seven Kingdoms is tense. There may be a war at any time. , the imperial examinations will definitely not be carried out normally in the next 10 years.”

The fight between the princes and the tense situation in the Seven Kingdoms The Tang family can't understand deeply, but everyone in the war understands it.

After hearing this, Grandma Tang couldn't help crying and cursing, "Go to hell, you bastard, it's only been a few years since An's birthday is going to be fought again, and people will be forced to live..."

Although the Qin State is powerful, wars have been fought from time to time for hundreds of years. During the seven kingdoms wars, the lives of people everywhere were difficult. The old lady had already experienced wars when she was a child. Her parents died in it, and she fled here with her uncle and aunt. He came from a barren place like Licheng.

Although Licheng is often harassed by the prairie tribes, the prairie tribes don’t come every year, they just run over in the most difficult times, and they won’t kill people when they come. After all, people still understand the principle of sustainable development.

So the barren side of Licheng is barren, but it also has its advantages, that is, it is basically impossible to fight here.

The old lady is crying now, not because she will have a sad life after crying, but because it brings back memories of suffering when she was a child...

After crying, Grandmother Tang wiped away her tears and asked with some expectation, "Grandson Yu, are you sure this news is true? It would be a pity if you don't study."

"Grandmother, it's true. My friend has already packed up his family and went to Wangcheng to seek refuge with relatives. Don't spread the news, or the government will arrest us for leaking government secrets."

Tang Yu nodded resolutely, putting an end to Grandmother Tang's idea of ​​sending him back to school.

"I went out for a stroll today, and I found that there are quite a lot of things I can do. I have made an agreement with the shopkeeper of the bookstore. I will help him engrave books for a long time in the future. I can make money and read books for free. When I can take the exam in the future, I will also help him carve books for a long time. Can go anytime…”

"Well, if it's true, do it this way."

Grandma Tang felt better when she heard that there was still a chance to take the exam.

Tang Yu smiled and continued, "And today I met Uncle Liu, the one who used to be the shopkeeper for my father in Chaolailou, and now he has pushed down the restaurant to be the owner, but the business has not been very good recently, so I went to see it. There are a few ways to help him improve, and if he succeeds, Uncle Liu said that he will give me [-]% of the restaurant's monthly income."

"Chaolailou? [-]% of the money?"

Everyone was surprised when they heard it.

After the death of Boss Tang, the rest of the Tang family managed the property for two days and basically knew the income of each property. Chaolailou has been operating for many years as an old store, and the business is very good. Although the [-]% income cannot make the family too rich, But it is also enough to eat and drink without worrying about a comfortable life.

Grandmother Tang was even happier. She was already very domineering, but now she has more confidence.

With a smile on his face, he pointed at everyone to teach him a lesson, "Look, I said that my grandson, Yu Yu, is the most promising in the family and has the demeanor of his father. You useless people are still not convinced, and you are still jealous of every mouthful. You really deserve it." tidy……"

"Mother, you are right, nephew Yu is just like a big brother, capable!"

Tang Laosi, whose lifelong goal is to eat and wait to die, first agrees and flatters, smiling so flatteringly.

Tang Laosi also nodded in agreement, "Mother, you eat more salt than we eat rice. I always think that what you say is right, and we all listen to you."

Looking at the two useless and brainless men, Zhang Chuntao and Leng Shangxiang felt a burst of sadness in their hearts.

Seeing that the old lady had the urge to start brainwashing and education again, Tang Yu quickly shifted her attention and turned everyone's eyes to the food,

"Let's not talk about that, come and take a look at these rice grains and meat, as well as this tonic, grandson bought it specially for you to nourish your body."

Grandmother Tang was even happier when she heard that, and she felt distressed about the money, "Oh, grandma is old enough to make up for her body. Don't waste the money you earn. Grandma will save it for you to marry a wife. You are not young at 16, don't you?" A child like you can run away..."

Tang Yuhan, now that he is not young, where did he look like a three-year-old?

"Grandma works hard at home, and grandsons should respect you. This tonic has a shelf life. It will be a pity if it goes bad after a long time. You have to remember to drink it. A jar costs several hundred copper baht... This red jar belongs to you, grandma." , The green jar is for uncles, aunts, aunts, younger brothers and sisters to drink, by the way, grandma, don’t forget Aunt Wei Shuwei.”

The butler and his wife are honest and loyal to the Tang family. After the defeat of the Tang family, their respectful attitude has not changed at all. They work hard all day and never complain.

"Hey, what do you buy so much for such an expensive thing!"

Grandmother Tang bluffed again when she heard it, and almost said that it was a waste for the rest of the family to drink.

Tang Yu had no choice but to explain again, persuading the country with curves,

"Grandmother, now is not the time to save money. Although our city of Li is far away, there is no guarantee that we will not be affected by the real war. The family members will only run away when they are in better health. And these rice grains and meat, grandma should not Save money, even if the family is full, I will find a way to save money, grandchildren can read and make money, it is much easier than uncles working hard.”

The third and fourth Tang were very moved, "Nephew Yu..."

It was rare for Zhang Chuntao and Leng Shangxiang to look at him in a better mood. They didn't expect this lazy nephew to have such thoughts.

"That's all right. From tonight onwards, start to make the porridge thicker, drink some of these supplements every day, and add one more bread for each person, no, half."

Grandmother Tang thought about it too, and nodded numbly.

Although she disliked the rest of the family, she never thought of letting the family members die. After all, they were all her own. If war comes, she must keep the whole family to be worthy of her dead husband.

Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, the old lady's character will not change for a while, so take it easy.

**********

It was hard to fool Grandma Tang, no, it was persuasion. The atmosphere of the Tang family's dinner at night was unprecedentedly harmonious.

Although rice and rice can only be enjoyed by Tang Yu alone, but today not only can eat more, but also meat, everyone is very satisfied.

God knows that since their family's defeat, they can't even eat bones, not to mention eating meat, at most they can drink some meat-flavored soup.

The honest butler Wei and his wife also got meat today. They were very happy. They ate deliciously in the kitchen with a bowl in their hands.

The status of servants here is very low. The Tang family can still share meat with them in the current situation. It is definitely a very good master...

Seeing the Tang family happy, Tang Yu felt very fulfilled, and for the first time felt the existence of the word responsibility.

But for him now, the task is the most important thing, and it's enough to be emotional.

After dinner, Tang Yu quietly called the younger siblings of the Tang family into the room, and then took out the biscuits and candies that Du Yongan from the World of Times gave him.

He can't exchange these things in the trading area, and he is not greedy for them after enjoying the modern life. It is the best choice to distribute them to a few cousins.

Not surprisingly, the children immediately showed surprise when they smelled the sweet smell.

"sugar?"

"Shh, don't talk about this dim sum thing. Grandma has to make ends meet and is reluctant to spend money. If she knows that I buy candy indiscriminately, she will definitely scold me. This is our secret. As long as you listen to my cousin obediently, three If Auntie or Auntie behaves differently than usual, just tell me, and my cousin will buy you sweets when he earns money, okay?"

If there is no candy to eat, you must listen to your cousin, otherwise grandma will be very fierce.

The children didn't hesitate at all, nodded and drooled, "Okay, then cousin, you have to keep your word!"

"Of course, I'm your elder brother. Elder brothers always want to buy candy for younger siblings."

Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction, and generously shared two biscuits and two fruit candies.

The few children stuffed the smaller candies into their mouths in a hurry, and were instantly captured by the fruit candies they had never eaten before, with intoxicated joy on their faces.

Although it did not meet the requirements of sincere maintenance of the system, the favorability was steadily increasing.

After dismissing the children, Tang Yu quietly found the fifth aunt of the Tang family.

Aunt Tang Wu is the old lady's old daughter. She is 18 this year, not much older than Tang Yu, and her name is Tang Wan'er.

Of course, the big deal is Tang Yu's modern eyes. According to the standard of people here, Aunt Tang Wu is a typical leftover woman, and because of the stubborn pimples on her face, she looks a bit ugly and has been unable to marry.

Therefore, Aunt Tang Wu also had a lot of thoughts, all she wanted was to divide the family and share some money so that she could recruit a husband-in-law to marry her... because now the old lady is reluctant to part with money, she only wants to marry her daughter and not to recruit a son-in-law.

But Tang Yu knew that Tang Wan'er was actually very beautiful, it was only because of too many pimples on her face that covered her original appearance. Like a general, if you don't sing, you will already be a blockbuster.

That's why the system asked him to win over this fifth aunt. Nepotism cannot be underestimated in this world.

Tang Wan'er was already considered an adult, and snacks were not enough to coax her, but the facial cleanser from Rouge Shop was absolutely fine, almost no woman in the world could refuse skin care products and cosmetics.

"Fifth Gu, this is the face cream I bought at the rouge shop. The shopkeeper said it was good, but it's just the cheapest one. I'll buy the best one for Gu Gu after I earn more money..."

Tang Yu gave full play to the advantages of her youthful image, blinking cheekily, with a small expression of "Auntie, I respect you very much".

Sure enough, Tang Wan'er couldn't resist the temptation of facial balm at all, she was very surprised and asked, "You bought it for me?"

She didn't know this nephew very well, and she was very jealous that he was doted on by her mother. She couldn't say ten words all year round. Tang Yu took the initiative to give her things, so she was not surprised.

"Yes, Fifth Aunt, don't tell me. I'll just buy it for you. It would be bad if my aunt and the others knew."

The special treatment that only one person has is very good, and Tang Wan'er feels very comfortable hearing it.

But if there is nothing to show courteousness, it is either adultery or robbery. Why is my nephew suddenly so nice to her? The girl looked cautious, "Do you have something to ask me?"

The credibility of the original owner is so bad.

Tang Yu wiped his sweat and flattered her, "Auntie, you are so smart. That's it, I just hope that the third aunt and the fourth aunt will talk to you about the separation of the family. Just don't agree..."

"Why? How nice it is to have a separated family."

Tang Wan'er really wanted to separate the family, because after the separation, she would have money to recruit a husband-in-law, and it was not without her in her mother's heart that she would definitely share the money.

Tang Yu knew she would say that, and continued to persuade,

"Fifth Aunt, you are thinking about it. If our Tang family really separates, it will be Wugu who will suffer the most. No matter how poor the third aunt and fourth aunt are, they can still have third and fourth uncles to support them. How much money can you divide the family? The Tang family is no more In the past, the second aunt was able to marry so well, in the final analysis, it was because my father gave her a lot of dowry... Although the Tang family can't give you a ten-mile dowry for the fifth aunt, as long as I tell my grandmother, I will give you two or three dowries. It’s okay, because all the money in our family is with grandma, and grandma has the final say on how much money is used.”

"But if the family is separated and all the money in grandma's hands is divided, no matter how much I speak for you, fifth aunt, there is nothing I can do. Besides, I can make money even after quitting my studies. If what I said about Uncle Liu before happens, we will Life at home can be improved slowly, Wugu, you are a girl, and it is not good for you to divide the family..."

Reason is reason, but reality is also very realistic.

Tang Wan'er hesitated and worried, "But your grandmother won't find me a husband, and I won't be able to get married."

"Grandmother won't recruit Wu Gu, I'll recruit you. After my nephew settles Uncle Liu's business, the family will have [-]% of the profit from Chaolailou. Are you still worried? Grandma also refused to agree because of the family's financial difficulties... ...Five aunt, before going out, my father will tell me that if he has an accident, he must support the family, especially you, five aunt, you must take good care of it. I was saddened by my father's death before, but now I want to cheer up. Live up to my father's expectations!"

Know it with reason, move with emotion.

Aunt Tang, who had no bad intentions at all, fell quickly, picked up her handkerchief and said sadly, "Hey, brother used to be the one who loved me the most..."

Seeing this, Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could hear the truth.
