Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 253 Rumors

Xia Dalang has a dignified appearance and a steady personality, and because he has encountered great changes one after another, his temperament is naturally different from others.

In addition, he studied very hard, had a good foundation, and was somewhat talented. He quickly won the love of most of his classmates and teachers in the academy.

Xia Dalang heard the same rumor one after another from his classmates and teachers who had a good relationship with him:

The new county magistrate of Jixiang County, Mr. Yang, has a little-known hobby:

His old man likes to build city walls.

So far, Mr. Yang has traveled to six different counties and served as county magistrate for a maximum of three years and a minimum of one year.

But the very strange thing is that no matter how long he has been a county magistrate in a place, he will definitely recruit civilians and build city walls during his tenure.

Some people wonder if this is a new way to enrich one's own pockets? However, Mr. Yang is not without political opponents, but his political opponents have never attacked him from this angle.

It can be seen that although this is a well-known hobby, there is really not much room for making money here.

However, although he didn't know why Lord Yang had such a hobby, Xia Dalang heard that every time Lord Yang built the city wall, he would call on merchants to donate.

If you donate 10,000 taels, he won't think it's too much.

If you donate a hundred cents, he won't think it's too little.

Some people say that since we have the money donated by this merchant, shouldn’t we be able to use it as we please?

But in Mr. Yang's case, he has a public account. Every time a merchant donates money due to something, he must make it clear where every penny is spent.

No matter what the situation is under the water, at least above the water, Magistrate Yang is keeping things clear and clear.

It leaves you with nothing to grasp.

Xia Daohua thought about it carefully and felt that Master Yang was somewhat of a time traveler.

Then I thought about it, why do you have to be a time-traveler to come up with these methods? Not only the natives, but also a few smart people?

Xia Daohua laughed at herself and put the matter down.

She didn't feel bad about donating money or materials, and she had nothing to worry about. Instead, she just took this opportunity to try and see how this Master Yang was different from his predecessor, Master Xie.

But since then, Mr. Yang has been silent.

Xia Daohua almost thought that the rumors Xia Dalang told her were just rumors.

At this time, notices were posted on the bulletin board outside the county government office and at the city gate, calling on merchants and wealthy families to donate money and materials, and to recruit civilians to build the city wall.

To this end, the county magistrate’s wife Wang specially organized another flower viewing party.

Xia Daohua was also invited.

She couldn't help but be curious for a moment, and found an opportunity to ask Wang why the notice was posted now.

The answer I got was unexpected:

"A few days ago, it was the time to harvest wheat. If we conscripted the people, wouldn't we miss the farming season?"

Xia Daohua was shocked, but also had a new understanding of the county magistrate and his wife - at least this couple was not the master who was indifferent to the four bodies and five grains.

If you have some understanding of people's livelihood and don't have any major flaws in your character, you won't be too exploitative.

The ladies who came to attend the flower viewing banquet all donated some jewelry and silver coins on the spot. Seeing this, Xia Daohua followed suit and donated twenty taels of silver and two pearl flowers.

The snacks purchased by Yangji Teahouse from her "Daohuaxiang" alone far exceeded this amount. Although Xia Daohua didn't want to be in the limelight, she was really embarrassed to donate so little.

Fortunately, this number is quite satisfactory among the ladies and ladies, not out of the ordinary at all.

Including the two pearl flowers, it was also because she was afraid that the twenty taels of silver would be the least in the audience...

Xia Daohua doesn't really like to wear jewelry on weekdays, mainly because it's too heavy. But she quite likes to see others wearing it.

Pearl flowers and fresh flowers are relatively light in weight and very convenient.

If it is dropped, it will be less likely to cause an accident if it is not tagged with your name.

Therefore, when she goes out on weekdays, she wears men's clothing whenever possible.

If it doesn't work, women can wear silk headbands.

Just occasionally put one or two pearl flowers on the hairpin, or small flowers, that's all.

It is often only during formal occasions such as flower viewing banquets that Xia Daohua wears decorations such as beads and flowers.

This time, she wore two beaded flowers and kept them all on the spot.

Wang looked at Xia Daohua's bald hair and couldn't help but smile and narrowed her eyes:

"You kid, you are really a real person!"

Then he called his personal maid and brought a box of pearl flowers for the inner court:

"It's useless if I keep it here. Why don't I give it to you and wear it for fun on weekdays?"

Xia Daohua blushed and declined politely twice. Wang pretended to be angry:

"Given by the elders, you cannot refuse!"

The summer rice flowers have just been harvested.

Xia Daohua didn't feel that her performance was outstanding, but it seemed that this was not the first time that Wang showed her favor towards her.

After returning from Magistrate Yang's house, Xia Daohua couldn't help but think about it - what should she do to be able to live up to Wang's kindness?

Before Xia Daohua could think of a proper solution, notices from the county government recruiting civilian laborers had been posted all over the city.

There was a lot of excitement in every room of the Xia family for a while.

This time the civilian husbands were recruited, and all four rooms of the Xia family, from the second to the fifth, did not escape.

Because County Magistrate Yang emphasized that unless there were very special circumstances, his subordinates were not allowed to use the money for service, and they had to send people to do the work.

The second room planned to send Sanlang, but was rejected, so Xia Yougui had to go in person - because it was Erlang who went there last time, and this time Erlang refused to go again, and the official refused to accept Sanlang, so Xia Yougui had no choice but to go in person.

.

Brothers Xia Youxi, Xia Youtian, and Xia Youliang also went to the third, fourth, and fifth rooms in person.

Because Xia Daohua became a single female household, she had to pay more for the labor service.

Fortunately, the labor this time was just to build the city wall, so it wasn't particularly hard work, and it wasn't like sleeping in the open - as long as you worked for five hours a day, you could still go home and sleep.

Xia Daohua thought twice and decided to donate a batch of mung bean soup to the construction site.

In fact, she originally wanted to set up a stall selling mung bean soup.

But looking at Magistrate Yang’s behavior, I always felt that if I really dared to do this, Magistrate Yang might be able to overturn his own business...

Therefore, Xia Daohua turned her business into a donation very conscientiously.

When County Magistrate Yang heard about this, he smiled broadly at Xia Daohua.

Look at that posture, if Xia Daohua was a young man, he would slap her on the shoulder!

Magistrate Yang secretly thought that Xia Daohua was a favor to his wife Wang, and she was reciprocating the favor.

If Xia Daohua knew what he was thinking, she would definitely say: This is a beautiful misunderstanding!

Only now did I know that I was recommended, and I actually stopped updating during the recommendation period... I really feel sorry for my dear editor sister Lu Wei... please give me a vote. ε=(ο｀*))
