A brick and stone hall was built outside the inner fort of Li Zhuang, which was open on three sides, and the front hall was a long counter, and hundreds of people were crowded in front of the counter, and they all stretched out their hands to the guys behind the counter, as if they were rushing to buy something.

"Line up! What is the line drawn on the ground for? Just let you stand according to the line! ”

A shout rang out, and a teenager led a group of people into the front hall, and the crowd settled down and lined up obediently as instructed.

Li Zhuang is a newly built Zhuangzi, and no one dares to despise the young people of Li Zhuang, not to mention the owner of the village, that is, Li Shi, the general director of Qingtian Company. This young man named Wu Ya is one of the two chief guards of the company, and he and the guards behind him are all ruthless people who fought on the battlefield with tens of millions of people.

"Brother Wu, it's thanks to you for coming, otherwise this mess ......"

Liu Xingchun wiped his sweat and said with relief, he is now the deacon of the Economic and Computing Department of the General Department, which is the cashier department of Qingtian Company, responsible for the payment of salaries to all "force" level company personnel. Today is not a salary, but to the new personnel who join the company to issue a "work certificate", the agricultural cooperative, the iron mill and the newly established lamp workshop have a lot of newcomers to join, busy Liu Xingchun and his subordinates who were originally the tent guys Liu Cun.

"The dirty boy who dragged his snot at the beginning is now angry......"

In the team, Tian Qing was looking at Wu Ya in a daze, and such a muttering sound sounded behind him, it was Liu Rui who had only dragged his family to move over at the end. Tian Qing still remembered that his family was trampled by the officers and soldiers from Guangzhou and had nothing left, so he escaped.

Tian Qing didn't say much, lined up quietly, got his work permit from the guy behind the counter, and went out to open this book-like thing, with a complicated look of joy and sadness on his face.

"Iron Workshop Positive Force? Two taels of silver a month, plus the monthly prize of the iron mill, there should be three taels of silver, right? ”

Liu Rui's voice sounded behind him again, and he squinted his eyes and saw Tian Qing's work certificate. Tian Qing only sighed, now he is much more silent.

"I was assigned to the farmer's cooperative, and I was given a cooperation, which is a long-term worker, hehe...... If you come late and admit it, you just see how many bonuses you can get from the farm at the end of the year. But your father is a director, so he didn't think about taking care of his son? ”

Liu Rui said meaningfully, Tian Qing's heart trembled, he was originally a furnace worker in the mine, but after moving to Zhuangzi, his father never let him enter the blacksmith shop, so he helped to do some small things in Zhuangzi, and only now did he allow him to enter the company.

Throwing away the messy thoughts, Tian Qing frowned and said: "Uncle Liu, my father is my father, I am me, if you do well, you will be promoted, and if you don't do well, you will have to be demoted, the fourth brother will read us the company's articles of association very clearly." ”

Liu Rui smiled weirdly: "Fourth brother...... Hey...... It's really going to happen, this company is really weird, how do you feel like it's going to screw us into a big family. ”

Tian Qing pouted: "Isn't this good?" ”

Liu Rui snorted: "Okay? Who knows? It's not that I don't want to go in because everyone is in. ”

Tian Qing felt that Liu Rui's speech was too awkward, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, so he took his work permit and entered the inner fort. On the way home, I met Guan Yunniang head-on, she was carrying a basket of food, and she was supposed to go to Li Xian's house.

Table ...... Cousin. ”

Guan Yunniang bowed her head and said hello.

"Cousin ......"

Tian Qing also drooped his head and couldn't say more.

The two passed by, and Tian Qing suddenly turned around and shouted: "I'm not the same Tian Qing as before, I'll show you it!" ”

Guan Yunniang's body trembled, and she continued to walk with her head down, but the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

"Sister, is it blowing outside?"

Entering Li Shi's yard, Guan Xuan asked casually, Guan Yunniang shook her head vaguely, and took Guan Xuan to set up the meal together.

"Yun Niang is here, come on, eat together."

Li Xi appeared, and when he saw Guan Yunniang, he greeted casually.

"This ......"

Guan Yunniang wanted to shirk it, but was pressed onto the chair by Guan Xuan.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, before the fourth brother retreats, let him teach me what he should teach me!"

Guan Xuan shouted brightly, which made Guan Yunniang wonder, retreat?

Li Xi wanted to retreat, but unfortunately was stopped by Guan Xuan. Two days ago, he came back from Pan Jinling, and after explaining how to make the horse lantern, he went back to the house to pack up his pen and paper and prepare for the "retreat".

Guan Xuan stopped doing it at that time, grabbed Li Xi's sleeve and said: "The fourth brother taught me how to quantify things into numbers, those tables, coordinate systems, or something haven't taught me yet, and more importantly, how to understand those things." Didn't the fourth brother say that numbers are meaningless if they are not based on reality? Grasping the truth is the most important thing, right? If you don't teach me, I'm going to suffocate during this time......"

Guan Xuan blinked his eyes wide, and his sincerity was pure and immaculate in the fluttering eyes: "When the fourth brother is in retreat, Guan Xuan and I don't think about food, I will definitely be hungry and thin." Wait for you to come out and rub your back again, don't scream when your bones hurt. ”

Threatened by her like this, Li Yan helplessly pinched the little girl's cheek and promised to teach her for a few more days before retreating.

"How can you guarantee that you can really touch the melon in the end?"

While eating, Guan Xuan asked Guan Yunniang a confused question.

"So you can't just touch one vine, at least two together, touch the intersection, and then go down. Remember, if there is only an orphan certificate, the real surname will be greatly discounted. ”

This is Li Shi's profession, and he answers extremely fluently.

So what is a quantitative criterion? It seems like a lot of difficulty. ”

"It's not difficult, it's about what kind of judgment you want to make, using judgment to set quantitative numbers, and at the same time understanding the background of the judgment."

"For example...... I wonder if Guan Xuan will grow strong and strong. Then I have to know that eating more meat and exercising more will make me grow strong and strong. Then I observed to see how Guan Xuan ate every day and whether she liked to exercise. If you set no more and no less to 5 points, then eat more and exercise more, you will add points, and subtract points on the contrary, the highest is 10 points, the lowest is 0 points, so that you can roughly know if Guan Xuan will ...... after a period of time"

"The fourth brother hates it, I don't want to eat a pig!"

Not only did she not understand what they were saying, but she also felt that the warm breath only belonged to them, Guan Yunniang lowered her head, and the tears were pulled into her mouth along with the rice grains, salty.

After eating, Guan Yunniang was about to leave, but Guan Xuan pulled her into her room.

"Let the fourth brother take a leave for a while, let the eldest sister take a look at the fourth brother, my crystal chain! It's beautiful! ”

While speaking, Guan Xuan took out a string of things that looked like bracelets, and the room suddenly lit up, Guan Yunniang covered her mouth to prevent herself from calling out, and more than a dozen crystal clear, waterdrop-like beads were strung together, making her eyes shine.

Shaking her hand and touching the bead, the corners of Guan Yunniang's eyes turned red again, this should be crystal glass, also called glass. I heard that a set of crystal glass cups costs a hundred taels of silver, such a string of crystal glass beads, it is simply ingenious, I don't know how much it is worth, any woman will scream when she sees it. Li Xian favored Guan Xuan to this point, and gave such a thing to a little girl who was not yet an adult...... "This is fate......

Tian Qing's words floated in her mind, Guan Yunniang sighed faintly, but the icy feeling of the crystal beads on the chain came in, and she scattered this thought, and she felt that it was her own flesh and blood, and she was reluctant to leave it behind.

"II...... Guan Xuan, can ...... Can you borrow it from me? ”

Guan Yunniang plucked up the courage to say.

"I still have it, the fourth brother said that this thing is not valuable, let me play with it, and the eldest sister will take it if she likes it."

Guan Xuan didn't take it seriously.

Guan Xuan really didn't think it was a rare treasure, and Guan Yunniang almost screamed happily.

"But...... The fourth brother said that this thing can't be seen by people, eldest sister, you must not take it outside. ”

Remembering Li Shi's explanation, Guan Xuan added, Guan Yunniang nodded repeatedly, of course she knew that this thing had to be worn out, and it was strange that she was not torn apart by other women.

"Eldest sister feels so lonely, I hope this thing can make her happier."

Seeing Guan Yunniang leave, Guan Xuan muttered to herself in a low voice.

"That's right! If I go to the fourth brother again, he won't teach me this science, so I won't want to go into retreat! ”

Then the little girl swore a curse.

Lee groaned weakly, he wanted to retreat...... Thinking about the road ahead was churning in his head, and he wanted to spend a few days alone tidying up, but he didn't have this opportunity.

Now it's not Guan Xuan who is stopping him, but there is another big thing coming to the door.

Luo Heng, Luo Huzi, no, Luo Tangyuan's father. A few months ago, the shanty people were instigated by Yang Chun and ran to Fengtian Village to look for food, but they were forced back by Li Shi and the villagers with spears. At this time, Li Shi realized that when he renamed Fang Tietou "Fang Tangheng", Luo Tangyuan's face was full of strange expressions.

"Master Li, please reach out to help us again!"

A few months ago, Luo Heng still had a trace of heart, but at this moment he had completely become a rickets ant people, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Li Yan.

"Lift your dad up."

Li Shi instructed Luo Tangyuan, and now he has been carrying two young guards by his side, except for Yu Hanyi, another person is on shift, and this time is Luo Tangyuan. There will be a pan Shiyu in the future, and he wanted to be a personal guard for Li Shi, so Li Shi threw him to the mountains to dig for gold, and walked the training route of the previous young guard.

Listening to Luo Heng, with Li Shi's "help" before, their group of shanty people from Hunan could barely survive, and Li Zhushou, the magistrate of the county, pressed the mountain owner to reduce the rent, so they continued to grow tea on the mountain. Yang Chun was coerced again, and they fled without going. Now that Yang Chun has been defeated, they have just helped the mountain owner collect summer tea and get some money and goods, but they were pointed out as bandits by the officers and soldiers of Qingshan, and after looting them to the point that there is no longer anything long, they admit that they are shanty people.

"Officers and Soldiers ......"

Li Xian sighed, although it is now a peaceful year, and the officers and soldiers are not as vicious as the troubled times, they are still a family of soldiers and bandits. He still remembered that even during the Kangqian period, the magistrate implicitly mentioned in the recital that he did not want officers and soldiers from other places to cross the border, especially the Eight Banners, saying that the small people were afraid of the "majesty" of the army, and this "majesty" seemed to be understood by Luo Heng.

The gang wants to help, and he also wants to absorb these homeless people into the company. The problem is that just gathering the people of Liu Village on Zhuangzi is very eye-catching. This is not the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, you can raise people and expand the city. He now has 1,500 or 600 people, and he can't grow longer before he sets up the umbrella.

With a bunch of things in his head, Li Shi didn't have a clue for the time being, and only promised Luo Heng that there would be a way, so that he could bring some food back to settle the shantytowns.

"Not going to send your father?"

Seeing that Luo Tang was far from following, Li Yan asked in surprise.

"Director-General, didn't I sell it to you......"

Luo Tangyuan's expression was extremely complicated, and Li Xian couldn't see through it, and he didn't know whether he had hatred for his father, or if he really regarded the deed of sale as a declaration of severance of blood.

"He's your dad anyway, go talk to him."

Li Yan raised his chin, Luo Tangyuan gritted his teeth and nodded, and hurriedly chased out.

"That's why I'm going to retreat, to condense the light, to show me the way, to show you the way."

Looking at the scene of the father and son getting together and crying in relative low voices, Li Xi muttered to himself.

But his retreat was blocked again, and Tian Dayou found him and said that a noble person had come to visit.

"I said that I was looking for Old Master Duan, I had to look for you, the man didn't want to say where he came from, but there were several guards around him, and he was very ...... is extravagant, like an official who is bigger than Li Zhushou. ”

Tian Dayou has some knowledge, but the level is still not high, so he can only see so much.

Looking for Duan Hong? Could it be...... Li Xian's expression also became complicated.
