I bring my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 62 Shoveling Snow

After lunch, Qiao Yun came to the front shop.

It had been too long since the door was opened, and there was a smell of dust in the room. Qiao Yun rolled up her sleeves and wiped all the tables, chairs, benches, and wooden shelves in the store. Taking advantage of the fact that everything was wet, Qiao Yun opened the door of the shop to let out the smell.

The sun fell on the door panel, window lattice and Qiao Yun's body. The long-lost sun made Qiao Yun couldn't help but stand at the door of the store and stretched.

Not far away, there was the sound of shoveling snow from the corner of the street.

Out of curiosity, Qiao Yun walked to the street with her sleeves rolled up, and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a clerk in a government office leading a group of government servants to shovel snow.

Some of these government officials shoveled a shovelful of snow and then shoved it aside, while others used the shovel in their hands as bulldozers, pushing the shovel and trotting all the way from one end of the road to the other...

Qiao Yun watched it with great interest.

The middle-aged man in a black round-collared robe and a quilt belt stood at the intersection, his hands on his waist and commanding the group of government servants with great style, spitting everywhere.

"Look at you, each one of you, you are all round when you go back to celebrate the New Year! Don't blame me for asking you to run out and shovel snow on the second day of the new year. If you don't stretch your muscles and muscles, you will catch a thief later and you will be out of breath!"

"Don't think about being lazy! I don't know who shoveled which section of this street! Tomorrow, the folks will go out to visit relatives and friends. If you want me to hear where someone slipped on the street, I'll see if I don't get rid of you."

skin!"

As he was talking, he saw Qiao Yun watching the excitement on the side of the road.

"Which girl are you from? Why are you here alone?"

Qiao Yun chuckled, stretched out her hands from her sleeves, pointed to the alley, and said very familiarly: "My family has a restaurant in there, and I don't hear you, Lord Official, leading people to shovel the snow here, so come over and take a look.

It’s lively, and you can also enjoy some sunshine. It’s been cloudy these days, so it’s a sunny day for people to come out and get some fresh air.”

"Hey! I don't deserve the term "official official." My surname is Tang and I have a good family. You can just call me Tang Dalang." The man obviously liked the term "official official" very much, but he didn't dare to pretend to take this title. He

Pointing to the alley, he smiled at Qiao Yun and said, "Stay away from here and don't stand so close. Look at the shovels swinging around. Be careful of them hitting you."

"Thank you for reminding me." Qiao Yun took half a step back after hearing this, and continued to talk to him. Being familiar with such a low-level government official will be of great benefit in the future. If nothing else, in the future

She will also be polite when paying taxes. Qiao Yun, who is well aware of this, naturally pours out the good things she wants without paying for them.

"It's only the second day of the Lunar New Year, and you're taking people out to shovel the snow. After all, it's all benefiting the folks in our county. Thank you for your hard work."

"Anyway, they are just idle in the yamen, so they might as well come out and warm up. What are you looking at, kid? How can you shovel more streets of snow here, little lady? Keep your eyes open! Look!

Look at your shovel, it leaks so much, I thought you were holding a rake!"

Halfway through the conversation, Bantou Tang discovered that a young junior was attracted by the juicy Qiao Yun and had spilled several shovels of snow. He quickly scolded the person away, then turned around and continued talking to Qiao Yun.

"Thanks to His Majesty the late Emperor's mercy, these brats have received their salaries after all. Since they have received the money, they have to work harder. Otherwise, why would the lazy-minded imperial court support them?"

"Didn't these gentlemen receive any silver before?" Qiao Yun was stunned and asked in surprise.

"You don't know this! Those who work as yamen are all errands recruited by the yamen themselves. In the past, the court did not pay salaries. In other words, we have a dock in Quwo County, which makes money, and the county master is a good official.

Using the county's revenue to subsidize the brothers, in other poor counties, these brothers would do anything to make ends meet! After the late emperor ascended the throne, the first important thing he did was to register the yamen servants in various yamen.

After we create a register and receive special funds from the imperial court for payment, our lives will become better."

Qiao Yun nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder the government officials in the Tang Dynasty were called bad people. They were in a low status and were not counted as officials. Their descendants could not take the imperial examinations and the court did not pay them salaries. In order to make ends meet, they had no choice but to collude with the officials, create unjust, false and wrong cases, or impose excessive taxes on the people.

, and he is not popular among the people.

When I watched a certain domestic animation, I thought this position was cool, but now that I have experienced it myself, I realize that it is really not a good word.

No matter how prosperous the world is, there will still be such shadows. This is the limitation of ancient production relations. Qiao Yun increasingly feels that it was great to be able to live in the modern world in her previous life.

It's a pity that she traveled through time.

Although she is a merchant and has saved a little money, she is essentially the same as this group of people.

"I saw that the snow on the street over there has been shoveled. I'm afraid we have to get up early, right? Have you guys eaten?"

"It's not very early. I just got up to shovel at the beginning of the day. There is still half a county, so there is no need to rest at noon. I can finish shoveling early and finish the work early, and then treat them to a good meal in the evening."

Good guy, Qiao Yun calls him good guy.

A total of fifteen people plowed the streets of half the county in one morning? This team leader really used these government servants as messengers!

Each of these government officials was panting, exhaling clouds of white smoke. The water vapor was so thick that it even reflected some colorful colors in the sunlight. Everyone's forehead was sweating, and their fingers were red from the cold, and their hands were

I had frostbite on my upper body, with pus oozing out in blue and purple areas.

Although it was tiring, the faces of these young people showed they were enjoying themselves.

Also, if you can do good things for the fellow villagers, who would want to make yourself infamous in front of the neighbors?

Qiao Yun couldn't bear it and wanted to do a good deed, so she said: "Since there is still half a county, why don't you gentlemen take a rest and move to the shelter. I will treat everyone to a bowl of hot wontons to warm you up."

Will you continue shoveling your body?"

"Isn't this... inappropriate?" Tang Bantou hesitated, "Your family must also make a living by selling wontons. These ten or so people can eat like rice buckets. If the adults in your family know that you are doing such a big favor,

, watch your ass blossom."

"It's okay!" Qiao Yun smiled and made an invitation gesture, "My wontons are big and have a lot of meat! A bowl of wontons with soup and water, and some mung bean vermicelli, it's warm and filling, you guys are

Now, how many bowls of wontons can one person eat? Don’t worry, I can still afford this wonton meal."

The government officials who had been hungry all morning stopped shoveling the snow when they heard the word "wonton". They put their shovels and shovels on the ground as walking sticks, their eyes glowed green, and they stared straight at Bantou Tang.

Someone yelled: "Boss! This lady sincerely invites me, so don't try to spoil her face!"

"Yes, boss, you said there would be good food and wine in the evening, but I'm afraid I'll faint from hunger before the evening!"

Bantou Tang laughed and scolded: "Look at your ability! It's just a wonton. Which of you hasn't eaten it before?"

He turned around and bowed to Qiao Yun with a rather respectful cross-hand salute: "Then I will shamelessly lead the brothers to bother you!"
