Chapter 107 Jiangning Comes
"Ju Yao, you are much busier than me, the governor." As soon as she got upstairs, Ju Yao tidied the bed, which was all messed up a moment ago. After tidying it up, she sat down directly and leaned against it.
Oil Lamp looked through the account books, and she looked quite like a strong woman.
"Mr. Lang, you're making fun of me again. You have to watch more closely, otherwise the people below will inevitably cheat and play tricks." Juyao knew very well that if she was lazy, the people below would fool her. Over time, this hole would become bigger and bigger.
It will get bigger and bigger. If I take a closer look every time, the people down there will definitely not dare to try to do anything.
"Why not hire an accountant?" Sun Yu thought, just find a professional to look at the account books.
"Lang Jun, money matters are the most important. How can you leave it to others? The money of this business is like Lang Jun's army. You must control it in your own hands, otherwise you can have peace of mind." If I don't look at the account books in person, I'm afraid I will feel guilty.
Even though I am a little tired now, I can sleep a little more peacefully.
"Ju Yao actually understands the importance of being an official. Fortunately, he was born a daughter, otherwise he would have had one more powerful enemy as a husband." Sun Yu couldn't help but laugh, Ju Yao's words were quite in line with his wishes.
"Even if I am born a boy, I don't want to be an enemy of the husband, otherwise I will be knocked down by the husband sooner or later." Juyao covered her mouth and chuckled. When an official is fighting, just having a brain is useless.
At the critical moment, she had to mount a gun and mount a horse to fight in person, but she didn't have the ability. She knew her husband's martial arts, and it was difficult for anyone to match him.
"Although Juyao is a girl now, she still has to be overthrown by my officer with one shot, but not from the horse but..." Sun Yu looked at his crotch.
Ju Yao was stunned for a moment, not understanding at all. She followed Sun Yu's gaze and looked down, suddenly feeling ashamed. This gentleman is good at everything, but sometimes he is too shameless, but he seems to like him quite a lot.
Early the next morning, Sun Yu was woken up by the sound outside. He knew without looking that it was the Jianzhou Army laying foundations. He had no choice but to get up. If he rested in the Governor's Mansion, the surrounding areas would be ready.
I guess I can sleep a little longer. As for Ju Yao, she got up early and was already reading the account books by the window outside. Sun Yu was ridiculous again last night, and Ju Yao didn't understand.
"My husband is up. Breakfast is ready. You can eat after washing up." Juyao saw Sun Yu coming out, looked up, and then immediately lowered her head and continued to look at the account books, for fear that Sun Yu would continue to act mischievously. If she had been left alone.
He has a temper, and he doesn't know when the account books will be sorted out.
"Well, after breakfast, I will go to the military camp to see my husband, and you can work in peace." After saying that, Sun Yu walked downstairs, and he had to do his own business.
In the autumn, Jianpu City is still full of vitality, and everyone feels that life is full of hope. Recruitment notices have been posted in the streets and alleys of Jianpu City. Xu Yi has enough money and no longer saves, and is ready to use his sword.
The construction speed of Pucheng further accelerated.
"Recruitment notice: Due to the tight construction period... All Jianzhou residents, aged sixteen to forty, with household registration, regardless of gender, can apply. Once hired, food and accommodation will be taken care of, and men will be paid thirty cents a day.
, women earn twenty cents a day." Under each recruitment notice, a Jianzhou Army soldier stood and explained the contents of the notice to passers-by.
"This military lord, can a woman come to work? This is the first time that this has ever happened.
, In the past, all the corvees in the government were men." A down-and-out scholar dressed as an old scholar said to the soldier under the notice, there is no reason for women to come out to work, it is simply insulting to elegance.
"What about women? Empress Nuwa can mend the sky and create humans, so why can't women do work? The governor exempted from all labor, what's the matter, the old man wants to resume corvee?" The soldier shook his head, this man was just idle, and he did not force him.
It is better for a woman to go out to work and be paid than to die poor at home. Besides, how many women in this era do not have to work? There are many women farming in the countryside, and women from poor families in the city also
I have to help a wealthy family wash their clothes, or do some embroidery and mending to get some income. Isn't this all just work? Why does it sound so heinous to him?
"Nuwa is a goddess, how can she be compared to a mortal? Besides, the old man has fame and fame, and hard work has nothing to do with me." The poor scholar has fame, but the hard work will never be his turn. Now the status of this scholar is precious.
, not as good as before. Moreover, he just calculated that if these poor people worked in Jianpu every day, in one month, they would earn more than writing letters for others. Of course, he felt quite unhappy.
"Okay, what do you think of the former Empress Wu? She can even be an emperor, so why can't women do work?" The soldier retorted unceremoniously. This was an official document from the governor's office. How could he be ridiculed at will?
"This is wrong. How can there be any reason for women to earn money to support the family? This is against the ethics of heaven and earth, and will definitely lead to disharmony between yin and yang." When the old scholar heard this, he immediately didn't know how to refute, so he could only use some big principles to fool him.
The trick always works.
"You are still a child of Confucianism, and women do not support the family. How did the sub-sage Mencius grow up? A three-year-old child knows about Meng's mother moving three times and breaking the family tree, but you don't know? Meng's mother doesn't have to work? Which family tree was broken?" Soldier
He retorted, saying that he has only so much knowledge at his age. The adults have said that it is better to encourage women to go out and work than to die poor.
"You, you, I am ashamed to associate with you and others." The old scholar waved his sleeves and stormed away angrily. This group of people claimed to be Confucian disciples, but they didn't dare to let go of anything when they were slapped in the face by someone calling them a sage.
After just a few words, the people around him nodded repeatedly. Some people who thought it was inappropriate for a woman to work outside now feel that it is not so unacceptable now. It is just working, not stealing from a man. Compared with going to the fields to plant crops, it is not.
It's just a little further away from home. Moreover, the military master has said before that it may be a good way out for women to live and eat separately from men. After all, during the off-season, there is nothing to do at home. Going out to work not only saves food, but also
You can also earn some money to support your family.
Every time Sun Yu went to a construction site today, he would cordially express his condolences to the soldiers who were working, and also give a few words of encouragement from time to time, which was considered as a formal announcement that he had returned to Jianpu. Just like the lion on the grassland, he had to express his condolences every day.
Pee around your own territory to ensure that your territory is not coveted.
"Are you getting used to it these days?" Sun Yu motioned to a soldier carrying bricks to stop, intending to have a chat with him and try to be as friendly as possible.
"My lord, I'm living a good life in my humble position." The soldier was so nervous that he rubbed his clothes. A high-ranking official like the governor actually chatted with him. Smoke was rising from his ancestral graves.
"Don't be nervous. Come and sit down. Where are you from? How many people are there in your family?" Sun Yu
He pointed to the stone slab next to him, which was the material used for laying the foundation.
"The humble post is from Shaxian County. He was captured last time in the city. He hasn't gone back for many years." This soldier is the little fool who was captured in the city of Shaxian County. Now he has fully adapted to the life of the Jianzhou Army. He is better than in Fujian.
It was much better when I was with the Western Band. In three months, I will have served for half a year, and I will be able to get full military pay. My income is much higher than before.
"Want to go home?" This place is actually not far from Shaxian County, but the military has its own rules and is not allowed to leave easily.
"I do, but I still want to work in the Jianzhou Army for a few more years and save some money before going back." The little fool thought that Sun Yu was asking him to leave the Jianzhou Army, so he quickly expressed his position that he still wanted to earn more money, otherwise he would have to go back.
starving.
"When Jianpu City is completed, I will give you vacations in batches. You can go home and visit as long as you want. I also miss home, but it is too far away and I can't go back. You are close, so you must go home more often.
Look, it’s not easy for your parents to raise you, we must know how to be grateful." Sun Yu patted the little fool on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, sir. I will work hard in my humble position. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to continue to serve under you." The little fool almost burst into tears when he heard this. Where could he find such a good adult?
"I can't help you. I asked you to serve as soldiers, but you have to do these jobs every day, but there is nothing we can do. We in Jianzhou are poor. But I believe that if we work together, our days will get better and better."
Sun Yu raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. Jianzhou was now like the rising sun, which would eventually shine brightly.
"No, it's good. When I get old and can no longer stay in the army, I can still count myself as having a trade when I go home." The little fool laughed. It would be difficult to learn a trade from a teacher in the countryside. Not only would he have to send
In the apprenticeship ceremony, you have to work with the master for free for three years, and if you learn more or less, it depends on your understanding. The Jianzhou Army is good, there are people to teach you step by step, and there is salary. Where can you find such a good thing?
ah.
"Okay, let's go to work and tell the brothers. When Jianpu City is completed, everyone will take turns to take vacations, get paid, and earn a lot of money." Sun Yu spent the whole morning looking for people to chat with, and he was so talkative.
My mouth is dry. I just want these soldiers to spread my words and let all the soldiers know that the governor cares about them and puts himself in their shoes.
"Sir, sir, Lord Sima asked you to go back to the Yamen as soon as possible. It's urgent." A soldier ran over and said, Lord Sima urged him hard, and he searched many places before he found Sun Yu.
"What's going on?" Sun Yu was confused. I just returned to Jianzhou yesterday, okay? Besides, I brought so much gold back. What's going on? Is the sky falling?
"I don't know about my humble position, but I heard that someone seems to be coming from Jiangning. Lord Sima is very anxious." The soldier said with heavy breaths.
"Let's go and have a look." Sun Yu's horse, Liehuo, is still at Jianzhou Trading Company. He can only go back to the trading bank to pick up the horse first, and explain to Ju Yao by the way. This person coming from Jiangning Mansion will definitely not be a trivial matter. After all,
This place is too far from Jiangning.
"Sir, what's the matter that's urging you so urgently?" Sun Yu was a little impatient. He was deeply understanding the mentality of the soldiers at the bottom. There is nothing more important than this.
