Chapter 180 Buying a Cattle and a Car (February
I don’t know if the refugees were afraid that after one night, the county government regretted not handling the matter, and no one was willing to leave. After handling the matter, one came one after another, and there was no need for children to shout.
"Qingtian, you go to eat. After dinner, go find your Grandpa Song."
It had already gotten dark, so Qingyun estimated that he sent the children back around seven or eight in the evening. The children were also hungry and ran away when they heard it was time to eat.
As soon as Qingyun showed her intention to quit, the refugees looked at her with a sad face. That pitiful look made Qingyun unable to drive them away, so she had to do it on an empty stomach.
We took turns eating, and continued working after eating. We worked all night, and it was not until noon the next day that everyone's household registration was completed.
In the afternoon, there were no traces of refugees in Guanshan County, and they all went to the villages where they had settled.
"I'm exhausted." Qingyun shook his hand that was numb from the stamp, "Mom, it's finally over."
Crazy Wolf Black Bear Du Zhubo and the others were also tired. They all sat down on the ground with their eyes covered with red threads open.
"I don't want to stay in Guanshan anymore. You guys finish what you are doing and let's leave. It's not a place for people."
Everyone nodded, but no, if another refugee came, would they still die? There would be no money or food for them.
"What should I do with the extra money?" Mad Wolf looked at Qingyun and asked.
Above the lobby, there are seven or eight large boxes containing silver. Of the one hundred thousand silver, only half was spent, leaving fifty thousand left.
"We will count our people, give them ten taels per person as change, and keep the rest of the money first. We have at least four to five hundred people, and they will be resettled when they arrive. The money will come from here."
Qingyun has already thought about it, she can't keep it all to herself, everyone is watching! Anyway, the money is not hers, so she can spend it without heartache.
"You are more thoughtful, so let's do it. If you are starving, go and eat." Crazy Wolf asked someone to carry the box back.
This is a good idea and no one has any objections.
Qingyun opened the box and grabbed five silver ingots and stuffed them into Du Zhubo's hands, "You have worked hard too. This is your hard-earned money. They have it and you have it. They are treated equally."
Then he took the people away.
Du Zhubo stared at the young man's back in silence for a long time. He looked down at the silver ingot in his hand and stuffed it into his arms. He sorted out all the books, put them back in the county government document library, locked the door and went home.
Having been a boss for more than ten years, these past few days have been the happiest things in his life. He is tired but happy at the same time.
It's a pity that they are leaving. I won't meet such interesting people in the future.
Qingyun and the others went to catch up on their sleep after eating. They didn't even eat lunch and didn't wake up hungry until the next day.
After washing up and going to the back hall, Tian Duoliang and the others had already eaten and were almost finished. Qingyun didn't even have a place to sit, so he went to sit down. Just when he was about to get a bowl to cook, Aunt Li brought a basin over.
"Master, your food."
Qingyun: "..."
It doesn't matter if she picks up, or if she doesn't pick up.
Seeing Qingyun's embarrassment, Tian Duoliang and the others burst into laughter without any sympathy at all.
"Aunt Li, I will prepare my own meals from now on. You are also very busy. You have to prepare the dry food for the road and take care of me. How embarrassing!"
Qingyun wanted to say that she was really not a foodie. She ate out of a basin before, but that was because she had never eaten enough and only ate so much when she was very hungry.
I usually take a big bowl and eat about four or five bowls. Thinking that this was Aunt Li's wish, Qingyun still didn't refuse, and picked it up to eat with black streaks all over his head.
After dinner, everyone went to do whatever they were supposed to do. Qingyun called Tian Duoliang, Mad Wolf Black Bear Miao and others to go to the front hall to discuss things.
"Crazy Wolf, of the remaining silver from last night, set aside a thousand taels of silver. Take the rest to the bank and exchange it for banknotes for easy portability."
"Okay, I'll go then." Crazy Wolf took the people there.
"Master Qing, the granary is out of food. There is not much dry food prepared on the road. The weather is hot and it goes rancid easily. It is best to bring rice and food on the road, bring a pot and cook it yourself on the way." Boss Miao reported about the granary. He had been thinking about it yesterday.
I told you that there was no chance. When Xiang came back after distributing food, all the people were gone.
"You have a good idea. Tell Aunt Li not to prepare too much." Qingyun agreed, then turned to Black Bear.
"Black Bear, take the people on the list and go to their homes one by one to collect food. If you don't give them to them, if someday the refugees break down the door and rob them, we won't rescue them."
"I like this job." Heiying touched his head, smiled naively, and led the people away. He was a gangster, and what he did most was blackmailing wealthy businessmen, and he was very familiar with the business.
"Both granaries are empty?" Qingyun frowned. After eating up the two full grain bins, those refugees were too good to eat, right?
Fortunately, they all left. If she stayed for another day, she wouldn't know where to get food.
"It's empty. Let's leave eight carts of food for us to eat on the road and put them in another place." This is Qingyun's attendant. He should keep close contact with his own people first, and then outsiders.
"When Black Bear and the others ask for the food back, they fill up a warehouse and we take away the excess." Qingyun finally realized his conscience.
They killed the county magistrate, brought disaster to the county government, stole the county magistrate's money, and ate up all the grain in two granaries. It seemed that they could not justify not accompanying the grain in one granary.
There must be a way for the next county magistrate to survive.
"Okay, I'll go help Heineng. If you want to go to the grain silo, go directly to the granary." After Boss Miao finished speaking, he also took the people away. The only one left in the main hall was Qingyun Tian Duoliang.
"Daliang, go buy a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-cart, and ask the old man to get the money." Qingyun looked at Tian Duoliang for a long time and suddenly said.
"There are bullock carts in the team. A few days ago, you arranged for me to buy carts and you still have to buy them! Why do you need so many carts?" Tian Duoliang looked at him in confusion.
Old elm bag!
Qingyun was so angry that he kicked him.
"Which of the bullock carts in the team belongs to me? Half of them belong to Wang Chaoming and his friends. If they want to leave, they must return them to him. They are all acquaintances. Are you embarrassed to ask for them?"
Qingyun also vomited blood, so she took great pains to bring him on board, and her brother Qingtian tried his best to feed him every day, but in the end he got the advantage of Wang Chaoming.
"The remaining heads belong to Boss Miao and the others, and Boss Miao and the others are also taking them away. The ones I sent people to buy back belong to the public, and will be put into the public treasury in the future. What I bought is my personal property, and no one can take it away.
, do you understand?”
The public treasury Qingyun mentioned belonged to her county government.
Tian Duoliang rubbed his nose. There was a reason why he didn't like to deal with literati. He was too conceited.
"Don't be so whiny, go quickly." Qingyun kicked him again, and Tian Duoliang covered his butt and left with "ouch" and "ouch".
Qingyun rolled his eyes, what kind of butt was she covering with her kick?
Qingyun was fine, so he went to find Heiba. The books, paintings, antiques, etc. that Heiba found were also worth a lot of money and had to be put away properly.
She muttered something about buying money, but the old man happened to hear it. He chased her and scolded her for being a prodigal, and he had to let Qingyun promise not to buy it before he let her go.
Old Man Song was so talkative that Qingyun couldn't stand it, so he casually said that he would give it all to him, but the old man said that he would keep it for her and give it to her when he takes office.
