Back Off, Let Me Come
Chapter 1162: Build a High Wall (Part 2) [Seeking monthly pass]
Shen Tang said: "Why can't we do both at the same time?"
First, trick Cui Hui away, and then sell Cui Mi by weight.
She looked Cui Mi up and down, and said half threateningly and half jokingly: "After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat."
Not being able to sell at a high price does not mean that there is no bid. If Shen Tang is crazy about poverty, she doesn't mind "selling" Cui Mi at a low price.
Cui Mi shuddered: "Sister Shen is really heartless."
I originally wanted to be with the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch.
How can you not see that I have deep feelings and no regrets?
Shen Tang naturally didn't believe Cui Mi's nonsense.
Don't have any illusions about the head of the family, can you have any filter for the son of the family? The two are birds of a feather, and they exist from the same roots. Shen Tang did not show any mercy to Cui Mi, the free laborer.
"Cui Erlang, deal with these as soon as possible."
If the government wants to resume operations, it must have people who can work.
Shen Tang didn't expect to rely on Cui Mi alone to do things.
She wrote a notice by hand and posted it at the city gate.
This notice did not attract attention at first.
There were not many households in this area, and few people could read. No one came to apply for the job after three or four days. Just when Shen Tang was about to give up and go to the next county to recruit people, a weak scholar with patched clothes and an old man with white hair and beard came to the door. The two were pale and thin, with dry lips and white skin, and every step they took seemed to be floating.
They spoke weakly and their eyes were green from hunger.
Seeing their embarrassed appearance, Shen Tang was kind and handed them two pancakes: "Eat something to fill your stomach first. Whether the application is successful or not, the government office will provide two meals for free."
"Thank you, County Magistrate."
Neither the weak scholar nor the old man was polite.
Although the hunger in their stomachs made them move urgently and hurriedly, and they wanted to push the pancakes directly into their stomachs, they still tried to maintain a bit of grace. Shen Tang winked at Cui Mi again, indicating that he should bring water to the two. Cui Mi, a son of an aristocratic family, was also good at serving tea and pouring water, without any arrogance in his eyes.
He advised: "Slow down, don't choke."
The weak scholar and the old man ate three pancakes and drank two bowls of warm water each before they stopped, feeling full.
Shen Tang then began to interview the two.
"You came together? Do you know each other?"
The scholar spoke in a low voice, looking quite shy and reserved: "Replying to the county magistrate, we are grandfather and grandson, both locals."
The notice said that locals would be recruited first.
Shen Tang asked again: "Where do you live?"
The scholar gave an address in embarrassment.
Shen Tang searched for the relevant location in her mind. If she remembered correctly, there was an old and collapsed house. She had been there before and knew that there were dozens of lonely elderly people living there. The young and strong people in the family either died in the war or went to other places to make a living due to the heavy burden. The house was leaking and collapsed, and no one repaired it.
Last summer was windy, and most of the houses collapsed.
Four elderly people were crushed to death by the collapsed stone wall.
The county clerk wanted to repair it, but there was no money or people.
They wanted to mobilize the common people to help repair it, but they couldn't gather young and strong people. In the end, a group of men and women in their thirties and forties helped to clean up a few dilapidated houses that were barely habitable and temporarily settled these people. Hearing that the grandfather and grandson lived there, Shen Tang asked: "I went there to check the population not long ago, and it seems that I didn't see you."
The scholar obviously knew about this.
He explained: "Aung is old and weak. I wanted to take him to live with his cousin who married in the neighboring county, but the cousin was not at home. We ran out of money and had to come back."
Shen Tang nodded.
Didn't continue to ask about this.
When she went to understand the population of the dilapidated area that day, a neighbor mentioned a pair of grandfather and grandson, which should be them.
What cousin is not at home is also an excuse.
It is likely that the cousin is not seeing people and refusing this poor relative to live with him. In the words of those old people, whose family is not tight, where can there be extra food to feed two mouths? It won't be long before they will be driven back.
Shen Tang asked again: "Do you know how to read?"
The scholar nodded and said: "Yes."
When his grandfather was young, he studied with the local private school teacher for a few years. With these, he wrote letters for the villagers and wrote some couplets in exchange for rice, flour, grain and oil during the New Year. Although it was not much, it could let the family have a good meal. The enlightenment of the scholar was also taught by his grandfather. Before the only private school moved away, he also studied for two years, read a few books, and could use an abacus to calculate accounts.
Shen Tang asked the grandfather and grandson to write.
There is no problem with basic reading and writing, and the use of abacus is not bad.
Shen Tang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, stay."
The scholar looked up in disbelief, and his dark eyes suddenly burst into brilliance: "County Magistrate, is this all right?"
Shen Tang nodded: "Yes."
But there are some ugly words to say in advance.
She said, "Because the conditions in the county government are not good, there is not much savings in the warehouse, so the monthly salary in the first year is only food, which is used to provide you with three meals a day. There are rice, flour, grain and oil as rewards during festivals, but no silver or anything else. In the second year, the economic situation of the county government will improve, and the monthly salary will make up for the silver you deserve for your position."
If you can accept this condition, you can take up the job.
The scholar nodded fiercely: "I know."
The grandfather and grandson came here just for the three meals a day treatment.
If the problem of food and clothing can be solved, the two acres of thin land at home can be cleaned up and some crops can be planted, and this year can barely get through.
The old man's eyes shed muddy tears.
He led his grandson to salute and thank Shen Tang.
Shen Tang said: "You don't have to go back to live. You can live in an empty house in the county government office. It won't leak at least."
Grandfather and grandson are extremely grateful.
In addition to the grandfather and grandson, Shen Tang also recruited a cook.
The cook was in her early forties, and most of her temple hair was already gray. She has a large frame, is thin, and looks a bit skinny. Shen Tang liked her quickness in work and kept her here. Cui Mi couldn't help but sympathize with her after just a few days of hard work: "Sister Shen, you really don't want me to help you?"
Shen Tang said: "A member of the Cui family?"
Cui Mi said: "No, he is a classmate."
In troubled times, the mortality rate is high, and aristocratic families try their best to survive in order to ensure their continuation. However, except for the large sect, all other sects, regardless of their direct descendants, are small sects who cannot inherit much family property. Some of these sons of the small sect are working hard and hoping to achieve great things after the separation of the family, while others, like Cui Mi, just mess it up and enjoy life before the separation of the family. These bad classmates can win two of them.
Shen Tang refused without thinking.
"No, the small temple cannot accommodate the big Buddha."
Cui Mi said: "There are also people from civilian backgrounds."
No matter how bad it is, it is still much better than the people she has recruited these days.
"That's not worth it."
Shen Tang now focuses on recruiting local people. In fact, he wants to use their close relationship to facilitate communication on some issues. The people under the rule do not believe in Shen Tang's abilities, but they always believe in people they know well. Especially this pair of grandsons and grandsons who have written family letters and couplets for many villagers, they can help the county government win a certain degree of trust from the people, and the work will be easy to advance.
"But, I really need some manpower." Shen Tang changed the topic, patted Cui Mi on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Come on, help me write a notice for a competition, I want to set up the arena. And I can borrow your Cui Erlang connections, Send out lots of them!”
Cui Mi: "???"
No, what notice? ? ?
He didn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped to the martial arts competition to recruit a bride.
"But Sister Shen, marriage is a major event in life, how can we treat it so casually? Even those reckless rangers, no one does this..." Recruiting a bride through martial arts competitions is only available in the market.
To decide life events so casually is beyond the scope of three views for a son of aristocratic family who attaches great importance to marriage and pays attention to being well-matched. Shen Tang said: "What does it mean to be treated casually? What I mean is to play the long game and catch the big fish. Aren't I forced to have no choice? I can't recruit labor for so many days! If I don't compete with each other to recruit relatives, how can I be taken advantage of? A cow becomes a horse?”
Kang Guo's success made Shen Tang rely on the Wudan infrastructure model.
Accustomed to the high-efficiency labor results of brave warriors, she couldn't stand the inefficient work style of ordinary people. However, this remote and remote area lacks even ordinary young people, let alone brave warriors. Shen Tang must think of some way to attract brave warriors!
After much thought, she decided to use a honey trap!
Wu Yongyou's shell looks pretty good, and his hair is thick. Wearing a curtain hat can also add some atmosphere BUFF.
Shen Tang instructs Cui Mi to write a notice for him to compete in martial arts to recruit a bride.
He also asked him to draw a portrait of himself.
"How beautiful I am is how you draw me."
"As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Cui Erlang keeps saying that he likes me, so in your eyes, I should be something in the sky and nothing in the earth. Yes, just paint according to this standard! Use portraits to describe my beauty and use words to praise me. My beauty!" Shen Tang patted Cui Mi on the shoulder, approached him and threatened him, "It's better to look like Concubine Mi in "Fu of the Goddess of Luo", I believe you!"
"Luo Shenfu?"
Shen Tang said intoxicatedly: "Its shape is as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and the spring pines are gorgeous. It seems like the moon covered by light clouds, and flutters like the snow in the flowing wind... I follow You said, Bai Yueguang is indispensable in writing romance novels without copying this paragraph!"
How much material is provided to describe classical beauty.
"The beauty is beautiful, the appearance is quiet and the body is leisurely."
Shen Tang took out a small bronze mirror from his arms and continued to be intoxicated.
Cui Mi felt a little stuck in his mind: "Then what?"
Shen Tang put away the small bronze mirror and stuffed it into his arms: "Oh, Cui Erlang is still too young. There are two things that many men in the world can't stand the most. One is a beauty in someone else's arms, and the other is being compared to others. You must be strong. If you compete in a martial arts competition, the winner will be able to win a beautiful woman. Only those who are brave enough to win will be willing to accept defeat and become a horse for me."
Cui Mi: "Being a cow or a horse?"
Seeing that he was not understanding, Shen Tang could only explain carefully: "We compete to recruit a bride. If you win, you will be the groom. If you lose, you will have to pay the price. Is it not too much to be a part-time laborer for a month? Oh, by the way, write this string of characters in small letters." Click. The final interpretation belongs to me.”
Cui Mi couldn't figure out what a one-month part-time worker could do.
However, this move can indeed attract many people.
He worriedly asked: "What if I lose in the competition to recruit a bride?"
Shen Tang said: "I defend the challenge, can I lose?"
Cui Mi: "..."
He recalled the scene he had seen before. The man in front of him was fighting through obstacles and destroying the world. It was indeed impossible to lose.
Shen Tang urged him: "Hurry up."
It would be best to give her the title of the most beautiful woman in such and such a place.
Shen Tang's saucy moves also alarmed Cui Zhi.
Cui Zhi was secretly observing how Shen Tang could make up for the three years of bad debts, and waited and waited until a farce of a martial arts competition to recruit a bride. Cui Mi knew the limits and did not publicize the matter to the entire territory of Qi State. The news was only passed on among the knights. At first, no one believed it, but after hearing the description that seemed like an immortal, those who were not interested also felt yearning and went to join in the fun.
The confidant said: "This trick is absurd, but the effect is good. There is a shortage of young and strong people in that place, and now there are people going there?"
It's useless to just go there.
Most of these young and strong are unruly knights, and they are the most rebellious and unyielding. Once they know that they are being fooled, Shen Zhongli will be backlashed! The confidant felt that she was taking a risky move and was afraid that it would not end. What if she accidentally lost the martial arts competition to recruit a bride?
Cui Zhi didn't think Shen Tang would lose.
She is Qi Yuanliang's man, and she still has strength and foundation.
But——
Cui Zhi closed his eyes and thought deeply: "Send someone to find out the truth."
Perhaps he could use "Shen Zhongli" to test Qi Shan's true intention.
The trusted staff nodded, he had the same idea.
Cui Zhi also used Cui's connections to spread the news that "the stunning beauty is going to compete for marriage", emphasizing the beauty of this beauty. Miao Ne, who was secretly paying close attention to Shen Tang's movements, also received the news. As a Kangguo person, she saw at a glance what her own king was thinking, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The hanging heart was finally put down.
When she knew that Shen Tang ran to a remote place to be a county magistrate, there was no one to ask for people and no money, Miao Ne was a little worried, worried that Shen Tang would not be able to start well. She never expected Shen Tang's way to be so wild.
How could a normal person come up with this method to lure people!
[Competition for marriage, making friends with martial arts. ]
[Winning and losing first, friendship second. ]
Shen Tang did not limit the duration of the competition. As long as no one succeeds in the fight, the ring will always be here!
You can fight on the ring, and you don't even need to make an appointment.
In just a few days, the foreign population has become half of the native population.
Seeing more and more rangers approaching the same destination, knowing that they are all here to fight in the ring and marry the beauty, many rangers are worried: "So many people, did you succeed in the fight?"
"The ring is still there."
"Alas, even if it is still there, there is little hope."
He saw many people with stronger auras than him.
There is no chance to compete with these people.
"But since we are here, wouldn't it be a pity if we don't meet this Mi Fei?" Many people thought so and gave up the idea of leaving.
No one thought that this would be a big stain in life.
Before the fight, a contract must be signed.
If Shen Tang fails to defend the ring, she will accept the loss.
If she succeeds in defending the ring, the person fighting in the ring will accept the loss.
The competition ends when the test is over, and no one is allowed to kill. Considering that swords have no eyes, if you are accidentally injured, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck and blame yourself for not being as skilled as others. Once the contract is signed, neither party can default!
Shen Tang was covered with a white veil, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes with a smile.
"God is my witness, I will never regret it!"

Hehehe, although it rained heavily today, the good news is that Line 3 was suspended due to road construction, and only Line 2 and Line 1 were tested.
Xianggu waited from 8:30 to 12:40 before passing the third test. It was hard to wait, but the result was good. Line 2, in the end, I pulled over 30CM and deducted 10 points. Long live 90 points (*^▽^*), I passed the third test in one go.
I didn't take the fourth test on the same day because it was too late to finish the test. The fourth and third tests are not in the same place. I plan to check the test site and pass it in one go without any effort.
PS: Thank God, the battle ended before the students took the college entrance examination to learn to drive.
