Li Laoer gritted his teeth angrily, "It's true that the same rice feeds all kinds of people. Those seriously ill old people know how to struggle, sweep the yard, and burn a kang. These people are better off. They go out to wander during the day, and come back to eat and sleep when they are hungry. , Do you really think this is his home?!"
"Have a heart like a Bodhisattva and use thunderbolt methods." The Marquis responded calmly, "When it's time to show kindness, you must show kindness, but when it's time to establish your authority, you must also do this all at once. Everyone was shocked. Don't be afraid if something happens. I'm back. Even if the sky falls, no one can touch the Li family."
These words were really domineering. Although Li Laoer had no intention of killing everyone, he couldn't help but get excited.
It feels so good to have someone to support you!
As for Jiayin, she was already holding up a piece of snack and looking at her adoptive father, her eyes filled with adoring little stars!
Noble status, handsome appearance, domineering, these are the standard features of the protagonist!
But such a good man doesn't want to get married yet, and there are countless women in Xindu who angrily tear their veils off behind their backs...
Mr. Hou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the little girl, and he raised his hand and knocked her in confusion.
Then, he said to Li Laoer: "We won the battle this time. The emperor was very happy and gave the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command the name of the Northern Expeditionary Army. All food, drink, clothing and supplies must be given priority by the Ministry of War.
"I will give it to you in a few days . Find a way to share some small jobs like shoes. You can lead people to do them well. Maybe there will be a day when you can do all the jobs.
"But it can't be done for the time being. The military supply business involves too many interests and can easily cause trouble for you and your family."
"Okay, okay!" Li Laoer was so happy that he nodded in agreement.
He didn't look down on this "little job" at all!
You know, tens of thousands of people have shoes. Even if they distribute a few thousand pairs, it will be enough to keep the young and old at the Relief Department busy for a month!
This is a good start. If the news spreads, the Relief Department may receive other jobs in the future.
After all, for the same amount of money, or even cheaper, you can do the work you need to do and do good deeds. Everyone is willing to give it a try, right? !
After sitting for a while, the Marquis took the good news back to Suijintan.
Li Laoer stood in front of the door and didn't turn back to the yard until the carriage was far away.
An old man who was blind in one eye came out of the kitchen, smiled and said to Li Laoer: "Master Li, the porridge is ready, when will the bell ring?"
The yard of the Relief Department is too big, and there are too many houses. The bell must be rung every time a meal is served, so that when people from all over the place hear the sound, they will rush to line up.
If someone is really sick and unable to move, someone in the same room will take him back.
Because money and food were limited, there were more than 700 people eating.
Therefore, the Relief Department recently has two meals a day. Breakfast is served at three o'clock in the morning, and dinner is served in the middle of the afternoon.
Li Laoer ordered, "Now that the porridge is ready, let's ring the bell."
The old man hesitated for a moment, quietly pointed to the lazy men under the wall, and asked: "Sir, do they... also want to give them porridge?" ? Yesterday they shouted that the porridge was too thin and asked for an extra bowl.
"And the porridge sent to the back for the patients was also snatched away by them. It was really shameful. Not only that, they occupied a house and refused to allow others to live in it, but they also had others to burn the kang. If we don't take care of it anymore, I'm afraid the relief department will have the final say. "
The old man didn't know whether he was angry or afraid that Li Laoer didn't care and his words were unpleasant.
Li Laoer smiled and said calmly: "Go to work, I have my own arrangements. "
The blind old man laughed dryly and hurriedly entered the kitchen...
Not to mention what was going on at the Relief Department, I just said that Mr. Hou and Jiayin bought a lot of snacks on the way and returned to Suijintan. I happened to meet the naughty boys after school. When they saw Mr. Hou getting out of the car, they all rushed forward to salute. They all smiled coquettishly and honestly, completely losing their previous naughty look.
The Marquis was so funny that he guessed what they were thinking, so he gave them some snacks and told them: "If you want to ride a horse, let my soldiers take you for a few laps, but you can't ride secretly, or you may break your leg. You know ?!"
"Got it, thank you, Lord!" the boys shouted in unison, going crazy with joy.
They took the snacks and ran home like crazy, threw down their schoolbags and rushed to cut the freshest weeds, and then sent them to the Ye family yard to bribe the war horses.
When the war horses are full and happy, they will no longer reject them. They can ride on them for a while or help wash them.
Jiayin doesn't have this hobby. She ran home long ago to hug her grandma's lap.
Mrs. Li is taking Wenjuan to do needlework. Wenjuan may have just finished vomiting and is a little weak.
Jiayin quickly broke off a piece of the sweet-scented osmanthus candy she bought and brought it to her sister-in-law. She then coaxed her and said, "Sister-in-law, my second brother is coming back to stay tonight, and he just said he was going to the south of the city to buy you pickled plums!"
Sure enough, Wenjuan immediately opened her eyes and said angrily: "He is so busy and tired, and he still cares about what I do!"
Jiayin widened her eyes and shouted: "Why can't you care about me? My sister-in-law is pregnant with my second brother's child. Well, after working so hard, of course my second brother should be nicer to my sister-in-law."
Wenjuan's face turned even redder, she hugged her sister-in-law, tidied her slightly messy hair, and finally said to Mrs. Li: "Grandma, you know, When I got married into our family, I was most happy to have a sister-in-law called Fu Niuer.
"My sister-in-law would try every possible means to steal things from her sister-in-law, beg for money, and would go to her mother-in-law to complain if anything happened. Not only is our Fu Niuer not like this, she also gives me, my sister-in-law, clothes and jewelry, and she even has a small business that makes money!
"Ever since I became pregnant, she has treated me like a baby. Grandma, I really woke up laughing in my dreams. If I tell you such a thing, others will probably turn red with envy."
Mrs. Li heard this . When the granddaughter was praised, her heart was sweeter than honey. She couldn't help but echoed: "This girl is a born sensible child. When she was just born, our family was fleeing on the road. How miserable it was.
" The child never cried once, even when she was very hungry at night, she didn't cry. She just felt sorry for her mother who was tired during the day and wanted her mother and the rest of the family to sleep a little longer.
"Tell me, whose child is like this? How can the whole family not feel sorry for her?!"
Jiayin blushed as she listened, and hurried over to hug her grandma's neck, acting cute and cute, "It's all my grandma's teachings, Fu Niu'er I learned it all from grandma."
"Oh, grandma's fat girl is the best at making grandma happy!"
Old Mrs. Li smiled brightly, turned to see Mr. Hou coming in, and remembered the half-carriage of fabrics that had just been sent from the city and said quickly: "Master Marquis, why did you bring so many things to my family? If you need it at home, just go and buy it. But it's not good that you always suffer a loss..."
"Auntie, we are all members of the same family. There is no such thing as suffering a loss and taking advantage. ." Mr. Hou sat next to the old lady and said with a smile: "You also know that there are no women in my house, so those materials are lying around for nothing, and we have to worry about being damaged by insects and mold, so why not take them all and use them."
Old lady Li couldn't help it . , could only respond: "Hey, okay, in a few days, Hongying will take the women in the village to bake mooncakes. When the time comes, let them bake more and send them over, and don't buy extra from the Hou Mansion, you know? ?"
"Okay, aunt. You don't need to tell anyone else about this. Just tell Fu Niu'er. I left the Hou Mansion to her today. From now on, I will ask her to go to the city every few days and visit the Hou Mansion. That's it."
The Marquis said casually, not realizing how shocking it was to hand over such a large Marquis mansion to a child...
