It's easy to get sleepy after eating and drinking enough. Ji Xuanhe complied with his own needs, took Shao Yunchen with him, and after a little rest to digest, he washed up and lay down in the soft and warm quilt to fall asleep soundly.

A good night's sleep.

The next day was a sunny day, and it happened to be Ji Xuanhe's holiday, so he took Shao Yunchen to check his property in Xilin County, maybe these properties would be his only way to get money.

Thinking of the farm shop in Kangping County, it is likely that it will no longer belong to him, not to mention Shao Yunchen, even Ji Xuanhe feels a little pain.There are not only the farm shops that he himself organized, but also those bought by Wen Zhuocheng for him. I wonder how many of them are still intact?

The distance between the two places is too far, and Ji Xuanhe's family business in Kangping County is beyond his reach.Even with the help of my second uncle and Shao Yunchen's family, they are helpless when it comes to something related to the court struggle.

Regarding the family business in Kangping County, Ji Xuanhe no longer had any hope, just pretending that they never existed.In this way, the only farm shops in Xilin County will have to operate well.

Shao Yunchen took care of it very well before, but he never expanded his family business. He just guarded these farms and shops, which was enough for his family to spend in Xilin County.After all, no one expected that the situation would be so volatile, and Ji's family suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

Both Yunji Grocery Store and Yunji Cloth Shop are quite satisfactory, there is nothing outstanding, and the income is limited.Because of Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen, Ji's workshop designs some novel handicrafts from time to time. Not only has it gained some fame in Xilin County, but it also has a regular source of customers in Linzhou Prefecture.

The annual production of Xishan Zhuangzi is not sold, and it is directly distributed to the county government officials. As for how they deal with it, Ji Xuanhe has no control.The part of the grain counted as the public property of the county government is stored in the county government granary.These granaries were divided later, not the original granaries where tax grain was stored.

Because it was only the third year of Xishan Zhuangzi's reclamation, the money advanced by Ji Xuan and other officials had only been paid off now, plus the annual relief to the poor, the grain stored in the granary was not as rich as expected.If so, the common people have received substantial benefits, and the county government can still have so much food in storage. If other county officials know about it, I don't know how envious they will be.

The county government has money, so you don't have to be tied up in doing things. Many things are like snowballs, getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, Xilin County will only get better and better.Didn't you see that after the establishment of Xishan Zhuangzi, the number of people in Xilin County who died of freezing and starvation was greatly reduced?Why do you think there are still people suffering from this misfortune?Xilin County is also a middle-level county. There are only so many servants in the county government. It is impossible to send all of them to the village. There will always be omissions or delays, so we can't blame them all.

Ji Xuan and other officials are already trying to figure out a way to deal with this matter. To really handle this matter well, some powers must be delegated to the village chief, village chief and guards for supervision.It's just that these things have to be done step by step, and I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Ji Xuanhe is not a man of one word, he is not responsible for the appointment of village chiefs, they are all elected and recommended by each village.As a result, the character of the village head is mixed, and Ji Xuanhe is really worried about handing over the relief money and goods to them.Maybe, in the end, these things did not fall into the hands of poor people, but instead enriched their pockets.

In view of this, Ji Xuanhe can only hand over part of the emergency supplies to them after the guards have found out.

Regardless of the fact that there are not many emergency supplies, if they are placed in rural areas, that is enough to arouse the envy of the villagers.Most of the villagers just make do with it, who wouldn't want to have a better life?There are many people, there are many right and wrong, many things, even the officials can't intervene.The power of the family is still quite large, and local officials in some places cannot get involved.

Once intervening, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among local villagers.Sometimes it is like this, knowing that it is not good to do so, and someone destroys it, but it is tantamount to challenging the customs of the entire region and the authority of the local people.Without a certain deterrent force, officials will not easily break this balance.

Before, Ji Xuanhe had just arrived, so naturally he was not ready to make a big fuss.Now after three years, his position has been very stable.Ji Xuanhe also understood that as long as he didn't do anything that harmed Wang An's interests, it is estimated that Wang An would let him do whatever he wanted.

It would be easy to make sure of this, now that Gansu is completely under the control of King An, as long as Ji Xuanhe does not violate King An's taboo, it is estimated that no matter how much he tosses, he will be safe and sound.Ji Xuanhe's determination is not out of thin air. This is the conclusion he came to after three years of careful observation and thinking.

Ji Xuanhe is just a small seventh-rank county magistrate, and what he can manage is a palm-sized place like Xilin County.Since the space is limited, it is inevitable to keep improving.Otherwise, like Xilin County, where the land is not fertile and the supplies are not too rich, it will be difficult for Ji Xuanhe to change Xilin County from a poor county to a rich one if Ji Xuanhe does not make fundamental changes.

Before, Ji Xuanhe just followed the steps and did what he could to benefit the people.Now that the situation has changed, it is really possible for him to stay in Xilin County for a long time this time. It is very necessary to take good care of Xilin County under his jurisdiction.This is not bad, if King An is wiped out, Ji Xuanhe doesn't know where he will go.

Xilin County was not as prosperous as Kangping County. After being besieged by the grassland tribes and the new emperor ascended the throne, Gansu and other regions had less communication. In winter, it looked even more bleak than before.

The yard of Ji's workshop was deserted, and everyone in the workshop was working in the main room and a few rooms specially opened for work.Except for children who are too young to be able to do it, other older children must participate in handicraft weaving in addition to learning skills.

It is impossible for Ji Xuanhe to raise a group of young masters and young ladies. The children still have to do the necessary things within their capabilities.But the younger the child, the longer the learning time.The children cherish this hard-won life very much, and none of them will lose their temper without winking.

The original purpose of Ji Xuan and Ji's workshop was to let them inquire about news.Now that the workshop is growing day by day, this goal is not the only one, but it has not been abandoned, whether it is a child or an adult, they will still report to Qi Shan when they hear any news.

How important is the news? When Xiaoqiu was kidnapped, everyone in the workshop agreed. Even if Ji Xuanhe wanted to give up, everyone in the workshop probably would not agree.

Everyone in Ji's workshop is free, but they all signed a contract with Ji's family.There is a big difference between the contracts of the elderly, young adults and children. Ji Xuanhe has drawn up different contracts. The elderly have two options. The first contract is for the Ji family to take care of them, and then they will only be given to them every month based on the total value of the finished products compiled by them. A certain amount of monthly money is issued, and three meals and disease diagnosis and treatment are all covered by Ji's family.The second type of contract is a normal employment, and you can pay as much money as you want, and the other Ji family don't care.

The young and middle-aged people all signed ten-year contracts of living, one was to pay only money, and the other Ji family didn't care about anything.One is that during the working period of Ji's family, Ji's family will cover everything, but in this way, the monthly wages they can get are very small.

Children are completely different from the above two types of people.The Ji family is responsible for raising them to adulthood. At that time, they will work for the Ji family for free for ten years. Of course, they will be given a basic monthly allowance.

After ten years, it is up to the children to choose where to go.It's best if you are willing to stay, the Ji family never treats people badly.It's okay if you don't want to stay, the twisted melon is not sweet, don't worry that Ji Xuanhe will retaliate against them, he is not such a narrow-minded person.

These contracts were drawn up later. In the beginning, Ji’s workshop was tantamount to taking care of them for free. Later, when there were too many people, no matter how big the family business was, it couldn’t afford such consumption. Besides, the Ji family was not a big family and couldn’t afford it. Huge expenses, signing a contract is nothing more than taking advantage of the trend.

For the children, they have no choice, either they don't enter the Ji's workshop, or they have to sign the only contract as long as they enter.

The elderly and the young and middle-aged both have choices. If there are too many, at least they can choose one of the two.The first batch of people in Ji's workshop were all beggars. They had experienced all the hardships of life, and without hesitation, they chose the contract that could guarantee their normal life by relying on Ji's family.Later, people are also very wise to choose this way. After all, those who can enter Ji's workshop are either beggars, homeless, or homeless. It is difficult for one person to survive. Living with everyone in the workshop is not only lively, but also Very safe.

There are not many young and middle-aged people in Jijia Workshop, most of them are old people and children, and weaving handicrafts are just suitable for them.After three years, there are a lot of people in the workshop, and most of the second courtyard has lived in it, which seems to be full of popularity.

During the day, everyone gathered in a few houses with floor heating to work and study, and at night they went back to their respective rooms. After a tiring day, they lay on the warm kang and felt comfortable.

To live such a good life like now, no one wants to go back to the past, sleeping on the street and not having three meals a day.Thinking about the life at that time, everyone in the workshop could not help but shudder.

Regardless of whether Ji's workshop is either old or young, with too many people and a heavy burden, the Ji's did not lose money on it, but instead made a profit, and the surplus increased year by year.Up to now, the income has almost caught up with Ji's two shops.

After seeing Ji's workshop, Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen checked Yunji Grocery Store and Yunji Cloth Shop.Because the supply of goods is very common, the profits of the two shops will not be very good.Ji Xuanhe was not dissatisfied with this. The positioning of the two shops was like this, and it was impossible to make money.

However, compared with shops of the same class, the two shops of Ji's are still higher.Ji Xuanhe is the county magistrate of Xilin County, and the invisible benefits brought by him are not without it. It is easy to understand that the store business is more prosperous than other stores.

"Xuanhe, it's okay to talk about the shop. Let's buy another farm. Those two small farms are no longer enough for Ji's family to eat and drink. If it weren't for the food supply from Xishan Zhuangzi and Yangjiabu Zhuangzi to transport them over in the past two years I guess our family will have to buy food to eat." Shao Yunchen is most concerned about the issue of food.Food is the most important thing for the people. Only when there is enough food, can we do things without any scruples.Now that Yangjiabu's food supply might be cut off, he had to think about the future.

"Well, buy a bigger one. The family has a lot of money. I just didn't think about settling here before, and the farm shop I bought was only enough for the family to eat and drink. Now that the situation has changed, it is very necessary to buy another farm. "Ji Xuanhe also agrees very much.In ancient times, if there is no food in hand, there is not much confidence. It is estimated that when there is a disaster year, you will have to starve.Of course, Ji's family is rich, so they won't fall into this situation, but the more food the better.
