Chapter 356 Feeling guilty for my husband

"Xu Yuanbin, come with me quickly. Oh, what are you doing? Your father knows a big shot from the capital. Our new county magistrate wants to get your whole family out. He also said that he will hire a doctor for your father. That's so good of you.

The family has managed to get through well, but don’t forget about me, brother." Among the onlookers, one of the people who was close to Xu Daochong’s eldest son stopped working and immediately ran over to tell him the good news.

Xu Yuanbin was stunned, "A big shot from the capital? You know my dad? You want to hire a doctor for my dad?" His ears aren't broken, right? He has been sent to the quarry for three years. This is the biggest pain he has ever suffered since he was a child.

It was the imperial examination, and those few days in the cell almost cost him half his life.

But compared with the hard work in the quarry, it was nothing and nothing worth mentioning. He could not imagine that there was such hard work in the world. Such days were simply despairing. If it were not for his parents, he would

You may not be able to survive until now.

"Yes, our newly appointed county magistrate knows your father. From the tone of his voice, he seems to admire your father quite a lot. Brother Yuan Bin, don't forget us when you go out!" Envy, so envious.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

The younger brothers and sisters shouted together, but the expressions on their faces made Xu Yuanbin sad, showing that he hoped it was true, but he couldn't believe it.

My sister is sixteen this year, a grown-up girl with good looks. He doesn't dare to let her stay alone in the shack when working, for fear of offending someone, so he always takes her with him.

When she was exiled, my sister was thirteen years old and had already made an engagement. Later... the family came to cancel the engagement.

There is also the younger brother. He was only nine years old when the crime was committed. He was already spoiled by his mother. During his exile, his parents spent all the money they had hidden to save him. After three years in the quarry, then

The squeamish little brother has never cried or been unwilling to work. He is so thin that his ribs are clearly defined.

Looking at this pair of siblings, Xu Yuanbin didn't even dare to die. If he died, what would happen to his parents? What would happen to his younger sister and younger brother?

"Brother, is it true?" Xu Yuanzhi's eyes were filled with color.

"Let's go find our parents." Xu Yuanbin made a decisive decision.

Seeing that his friend was leaving with a pair of younger siblings, Zheng Erlei quickly followed him, "Go back to the shack directly, your mother has to go back and pack her things."

Not to mention how pleasantly surprised the Xu family was, let’s talk about Wen Jiuxiao. He first called all the stewards to question him, and then asked for a roster to look at. He casually walked around the top of the hill and took a look, and found that there were loopholes everywhere.

If the number of people currently in the quarry does not match the number on the roster, it cannot be justified if even the names of the people do not match. Where are the people? Where are the missing people?

The manager asked questions and asked: Who is in charge of the quarry? Where is the stone transported? How often is it transported? I don’t know anything.

I don't know if it's a lie, but it's true if I don't tell him! Even if they showed fear, they still didn't take him as the county magistrate seriously.

Don’t want to say it? Then don’t say it. There are so many people in the quarry, and the stones are not gadgets. How could they be transported out without knowing it? Someone will always know.

"Qingfeng, go back and call thirty guards here." Wen Jiuxiao didn't care who was interfering in the quarry. From now on, he would take over the quarry and take it over forcefully. Anyone who has any objections would be free to come over.

By the way, let Qingfeng take the Xu family away as well. Xu Daochong has been ill for three days and can't delay any longer.

As soon as Xu Daochong saw Wen Jiuxiao's posture, he knew that he wanted to reorganize the quarry, and insisted on letting his eldest son stay to help, "Sir Xiaowen, Quanzi has been here for three years after all. He knows something about the situation. Let him stay. You

It's good to have an investigator. If there are tasks that need to be recorded, I can teach him. After studying for more than ten years, I can still read a single stroke."

These words were modest. If Wen Jiuxiao remembered correctly, Xu Daochong, the eldest son, had won the imperial examination and ranked very high. Wen Jiuxiao thought for a moment and agreed.

At this time, it was time for lunch. Wen Jiuxiao looked at the food in everyone's hands. It was something like a pancake. The color was black or green. It was said to be made of rice. Wen Jiuxiao took a bite and there was nothing.

The rice flavor was just there, but it also had a musty smell that made it hard to swallow.

In addition to a piece of pancake, each person also had half a piece of salted fish as big as a child's palm. This was their lunch. This kind of salted fish was not available every day.

The labor intensity in the quarry is so intense, and the food is so poor and the food is so little, how can you have the strength to work? No wonder the people in the quarry are all skinny.

Originally, Wen Jiuxiao wanted to slow down, but now he has changed his mind. Damn! The quarry must operate according to his wishes. There is no good road in Shanyun County, and the city walls are in tatters.

There are a lot of rocks, but it can't be cheaper for some people's pockets.

Wen Jiuxiao gave everyone a holiday and stopped working in the afternoon. He asked Dahu to take Xu Yuanbin to re-register people. Dahu was responsible for questioning and Xu Yuanbin was responsible for recording.

When a family is together, remember where they are from, whether they are exiled sinners, what crimes they have committed, what they do for a living in their hometown, whether they are good at a certain craft...all must be remembered.

Zhuo Zhengyang went to interrogate those dishonest stewards. He had stayed with Wen Jiuxiao for a long time, and he was quite familiar with him. He was extremely skilled at torture.

Wen Jiuxiao was responsible for chatting with everyone to understand various situations in the quarry, so that he could corroborate the confessions from the trial later. During the chat, he also paid attention to who was worthy of the big responsibility. Later, he would have to re-appoint the big and small managers.

.

At the beginning, when facing the county magistrate at such a close distance, the young nobleman with such sharp eyes and awe-inspiring aura made everyone feel uneasy and no one dared to open their mouths to speak.

Wen Jiuxiao was not in a hurry and said directly: "I was born in Houfu and grew up in Jinxiudui. I came to Shanyun County to serve, firstly not for fame, and secondly not for money. I just want to change the current situation of Shanyun County and be down-to-earth.

I really want to do something for the people. When I first came here, I didn’t understand the real situation in the quarry. Only if you tell me, can I re-establish the rules."

He looked around at everyone and continued: "For example, re-elect the stewards; for example, stewards are not allowed to hit people at will; for example, the working time should not exceed four hours a day, with an hour's break at noon and a day's rest; and another example is

Improve food treatment, etc.”

Wen Jiuxiao doesn't like to make superficial remarks. He always makes it clear what he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do.

As Wen Jiuxiao gave "examples" one after another, everyone's hearts were moved. If they could really do what the county magistrate said... well, let's go all out! Say, they must tell, and tell the county magistrate everything they know.

If one person takes the lead, the rest will be much easier to handle. When we get to the back, everyone is scrambling to talk.

As a result, the work efficiency has become higher. In just one afternoon, everything in the quarry has been sorted out. A new steward has been elected and new rules have been formulated. As for the promised improvement of food, it will be announced tomorrow.

Bring the ingredients.

Wen Jiuxiao didn't take away the original stewards. After taking the testimonies, he released them all. If you can't serve as stewards, let's go to work and reform them.

Wen Jiuxiao looked at the four Zhang Yan, Ma and Song families in the testimony and was not surprised at all. In a small quarry, all four families were involved. Is this taking advantage of the power to take advantage of the county magistrate's loophole?

Wen Jiuxiao felt very sorry for Lan Huanping. As long as he had some backing, he wouldn't have been tied to Shanyun County for twenty years, and he wouldn't have been able to exercise the power of the county magistrate.

Wen Jiuxiao estimated that he would have to put a lot of money into just one quarry.

Oops, Zhi Zhi, I feel guilty for my husband, and I have to spend your money again.

We set off at 3:40 in the afternoon. On the way, Hehe saw a friend post from a colleague, saying that there were too many people going to Taierzhuang and the traffic was restricted, so we couldn’t get in. We decisively pulled over and wanted to wait. Later, we gave it to a friend

When I called him, he said he was stuck in a traffic jam and couldn't get in or get out.

Let’s go back home. Alas, because of the epidemic, I’m almost going crazy at home, and it’s hard to come out like this. He He told her husband that she had to find a place to eat hot pot, barbecue, spicy hotpot, etc.

If not, I'll have to eat a bowl of rice noodles.

As a result, on the first day of junior high school, no one opened the door.

Finally, I saw an informal barbecue stall at the corner of a town. I picked some vegetables and each of my family of four rolled a steamed bun. The vegetables were not fried in oil, but stir-fried on an iron plate.
Chapter completed!
