Lussey watched a green donkey, blindfolded, spinning around the mill, and the white bean juice flowed down the mill and into the large wooden barrel below. After looking at it for a while, he said to Du Zhongxiao, who was standing on the side: "Official, what are you doing when you ask the slave family to come and see this?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "In the past few days, the county officials have sent people to scrape together some money to set up some industries and earn some money to supplement their errands. The capital is not much, I thought about starting a small business, and I went to the dock outside the city gate to ask for some small shops. Most of the people who beg for a living on the water are hard, and they have little food and lack of oil and water. I think about it, the most suitable and cheap food for their taste is not as good as tofu. Now there are two errands, one is to open a tofu factory, and use the government's capital to make some tofu every day and sell it to those small shops. Although it has worked hard, fortunately, the money is stable, and it is not difficult to become a well-off family if you do well. The other is a small wine shop, which buys wine on credit from the official wine storehouse and sells foods such as tofu. ”

Hearing this, Lussesai's face fell, and he said for a while: "I have been singing and performing since I was a child, and my ten fingers do not touch the spring water, how can these businesses be done?" To do these things, it is better to sing at the docks. ”

Du Zhongxiao sighed in his heart, sure enough, this Lusesai is a person who can't endure hardship. With himself in the background, the tofu workshop will be able to monopolize the business in that area, and it will be very profitable to do a good job, but I didn't expect Lucersay to refuse.

Seeing Qu Wuniang's face embarrassed, Xiaoqing was a little anxious, after all, she couldn't bear it, Du Zhongxiao said: "Then let's do it, the city gate will be reorganized from the dock to open some shops." You go to pick up a small restaurant, as long as you pay the quota, the rest of the profit belongs to you. In the restaurant business, as long as you recruit two supervisors who can do things, and a few clever little guys, it is not difficult to make money, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Lu Saisai became happy and saluted Du Zhongxiao: "Thank you, official." ”

Du Zhongxiao sighed slightly, and asked again: "The Chen Qin who is with you, must he live with him?" ”

Lucesay covered his mouth and smiled: "He's just a porter, if he lives with me every day, won't he make people gossip?" ”

"That's the best. There are cattle and sheep in the county, which need to be taken care of by individuals. It's hard work, but it's a serious job, and I want him to do it. Recently, there has been a shortage of cattle in the fields, so I have bought some cattle from elsewhere and am about to send a reliable person to watch them. ”

Lusay Circuit: "Thank you so much. He's an old acquaintance of mine after all, and it's always good to have an errand to do. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, thought for a while, and said, "In the next few days, we will go to the dock outside the city, and when the store is selected, I will take you to see it." Don't worry, I'll send someone to help you then. As long as you do business with peace of mind, why worry about food and clothing? ”

Lussey said yes, but it was not the same thing. I have been working in various restaurants since I was a child, and that kind of business is not the best.

Qu Wuniang took Lu Saisai away, and Du Zhongxiao said to Han Yueniang beside her: "You must watch me arrange a livelihood for this woman, yes, now I see it." I don't know what this woman will be like in the future. ”

Han Yueniang said: "What she looks like is her own fate, why should we bother with that!" If there is a serious line to do, we will be worthy of Wu Niang and Xiaoqing. If Wu Niang has always been diligent and calm, Xiaoqing is well-behaved and obedient, who cares about this Lusaisai! Okay, I don't care about the future, just do it. It's just that I think that Jingjing has a simple temperament, don't follow Lusay's bad learning, and still be good with Xiaoqing in the future. One plays the piano, the other sings, and I am also relieved. ”

asked Chai Xin to send Han Yueniang back to the back office, and Du Zhongxiao returned to the front hall, and ordered someone to find Cheng County Lieutenant, Dong Zhushu and Wang Zhusi, and said to them: "The money of the public officials has been paid yesterday, I have taken a look, and the number is correct." Alas, it is not always a good thing to collect money, and it is rare that they can understand our kindness and not miss the deadline. Today, let's discuss how to do it. ”

At this moment, an errand officer came in to report that Yao Anle, the owner of the village who was inspecting outside, asked to see him.

Yao Anle strode into the official hall, saw that Cheng County Lieutenant and Dong Zhushu were there, and saluted the two of them, before saying to Du Zhongxiao: "Sir, the county collects money, and I want to do something big, why don't you say a word to the inspection village?" When I heard the news, I discussed it with the two heads of the village and scraped together more than 100 yuan. The county has to do things, and we should also contribute. ”

As he spoke, Yao Anle asked the two soldiers outside to bring in a large basket of money.

Du Zhongxiao looked at Yao Anle, then at the big basket of money, and was stunned for a while. The inspection village and Yongcheng County are institutions at the same level and do not belong to the jurisdiction of the county. Du Zhongxiao didn't want them to participate in this matter, but he didn't expect Yao Anle to make his own decisions and bring the money himself. With this guy's temperament, he never thought that this was really a good deed for the county officials, but he was afraid that it would be used as an opportunity to flatter himself. It's just that the money has already been sent, and you can't help but accept it, otherwise when it's time to divide the money, won't it cool the hearts of the soldiers? He brought his soldiers and horses to prison for duty.

Coughing, Du Zhongxiao said to Dong Zhushu: "Master, count the money clearly and write down the accounts." Which soldier is it and how much money it has paid this time, you must remember it clearly. When the time comes, if you want to repay the money according to the account, you must not be confused. ”

Dong Zhu promised to look at Cheng County Lieutenant and smiled, went out and ordered two officials, and stepped forward to count the money.

At this time, there were only two people in the county, Cheng County Lieutenant and Dong Zhushu, who knew better what was going on, and everyone else was confused. With Du Zhongxiao's ability to make money by cultivating fields and making fireworks, this money will definitely not lose the capital, and how much you earn depends on everyone's luck.

After ordering the money, Du Zhongxiao asked Dong Zhushu to record the accounts clearly. Remembering that there is some trouble in the inspection village, Yao Anle thought that this was Xinzhi County's appointment to collect money for himself, and he only managed to collect it, and he didn't remember some people's names very clearly. Fortunately, the soldiers who came with him had a clear mind and remembered the accounts clearly, and the Dong master bookkeeper wrote down the accounts accordingly.

Du Zhongxiao said to Dong Zhushu: "Make a single book for the inspection of the village, let the owner of Yao Zhai take it back, and the people who pay the money will confirm the number one by one and keep the account." ”

After speaking, he said to Cheng County Lieutenant and Yao Anle: "This account is the basis for repaying the money in the future, and it must not be confused." Each of you signs and draws on it, and I will sign it. If there is a mistake or omission, I will trouble you then! ”

Everyone agreed in an uproar, and each stepped forward to sign and draw without any hesitation. For them, this is not a big deal, even if there is something wrong in it, can it really find their heads? Based on previous experience, it is categorically not. But he didn't expect that here in Du Zhongxiao, the previous experience was completely useless, and he was exploring a new way of S county governance for this era.

Everyone signed and drew the pledge, Du Zhongxiao read them one by one, picked up the pen, and signed his name.

In the words of the previous life, this time it is to raise funds to set up enterprises and develop the local economy. If the development is good, the localities will benefit, the people will benefit, and those who are officials and officials here will benefit. If it's not good, you will lose your capital, but you will have to take your reputation. Although in this era, it is difficult to lose a good reputation as an official, and no one in the officialdom really cares, Du Zhongxiao is still cautious.

I have a thousand years of experience, and if I can't make a name for myself in business with my capital, it will be a shame. And as long as you make money this time, all the problems in the county will be solved, and any trouble can be piled up with money.
