Although all the remaining six illegal buildings were demolished, Yun Chao did not spare their owners lightly. Each family was fined one stone as punishment for not demolishing the illegal buildings within the time limit.
What, there’s no food left at home?
It doesn't matter. I'm dragged to work on the construction site. I don't care about food. I'll be paid two liters of food a day. I'll wait until I can collect the fined food.
These guys are the biggest thorn in the side of Sanshui Town. Seeing that they were all demolished and fined with food, how could the owners of the remaining ordinary illegal buildings dare to neglect them? A notice from the Inspection Department for demolition within a time limit was sent to them. All were demolished before the stipulated deadline was reached.
After demolishing the illegal buildings, Yun Chao began to level the road in the town again. This time, not only did Xiang Yong be used, but every household in Sanshui Town had to hire someone.
Yun Chao still said that Sanshui Town is a Sanshui Town for the people of Sanshui Town. All people of Sanshui Town have the obligation and responsibility to contribute to the construction of their homeland.
Without the thorns, the work would be much easier.
The common people are not fools. Of course they know that building roads and walls is good for them.
The reason why no one was willing to do it before was just unfair. Why should we be allowed to do it while some people wouldn’t?
For example, the Xia family has a son who works in the inspection department. They are all scoundrels. Not only have they never served in the corvee, but they even bite off a piece of flesh from other corvees.
The other corrupt officials whose heads were beheaded by Yun Chao were all the same. Their families often ran rampant in the countryside, but most of them were not as bad as the Xia family, but they were still able to laugh at the same time. .
These people have become the focus of the inspection department. For this reason, Yun Chao also held a secret meeting for the cleaning ladies, asking them to keep an eye on them. If anyone behaves abnormally, they should immediately and secretly report to the inspection department. .
Yun Chaoxuan's cleaning ladies all come from poor backgrounds, and their families can hardly make ends meet. Almost every family has been oppressed by corrupt officials, and they are natural class enemies.
Therefore, as soon as they received Yun Chao's "secret order", the aunts felt like they had been given a shot of blood. They could not wait to stare at those people for twelve hours a day, eagerly waiting to discover their criminal acts!
…
Yun Chao was working at the Inspection Department, and the boy guarding the door brought in a gift note, saying that shopkeeper Wu from the grain store in the city was here, waiting outside the Inspection Department, and wanted to see Yun Chao.
Yun Chao was stunned. What was Wu Deli from the grain store doing here? Isn't this guy a member of Wu County Lieutenant? Did he know the cause of Wu County Lieutenant's death and come to him to question him?
Thinking of this, Yun Chao himself laughed.
It is impossible not to mention that Wu Deli knew that Lieutenant Wu died in his own hands. Even if he knew, he would not dare to cause trouble unless he did not want to live anymore.
What's more, Wu Deli also sent a gift. How could anyone give a gift before asking for a crime?
Yun Chao took the gift list and looked at it: ten pieces of silk, ten pieces of brocade, ten sheep, ten chickens, five pounds of Shuangjing tea, five pounds of Longjing tea, four-color snacks, and one hundred taels of silver.
Not to mention silk brocade. Even in China, which is rich in silk, it is an absolutely high-end product. Ordinary people may never even touch it in their lives.
Just five pounds of Longjing tea and five pounds of Shuangjing tea are not accessible to ordinary wealthy people, and their value is far higher than that of silk brocade.
The Dawu Dynasty was not the era of Yun Chao's previous life. The productivity was backward and materials were not generally scarce.
Tea, especially famous tea, is a luxury item among luxuries. Even ordinary officials cannot drink many famous teas.
Of course, it’s not that ordinary people can’t afford to drink any tea, it’s just that the ones they drink are inferior, commercial products.
Well, the ordinary people I'm talking about here are ordinary wealthy households, not ordinary people like the villagers of Wolong Village. They don't even have enough to eat, and they drink tea for a fee.
Ever since the young woman, Mrs. Wu, arrived in Wolong Village, Yun Chao often asked her to make tea.
The young woman once worked as a maid in a wealthy family and learned the art of tea.
There were no drinks in Dawu Dynasty, so Yunchao could only drink tea.
However, the tea was not bought by Yun Chao. It was seized from a bandit's den. It is unknown whether he robbed some unlucky egg tea merchant.
It turns out that in the Wu family, the young woman could only brew some inferior tea among inferior teas. After seeing the tea seized by Yun Chao, she felt like she had found a treasure. No one except Yun Chao would brew it.
While making tea, Yun Chao once heard the young woman talk about some famous teas from the Great Wu Dynasty, including Longjing tea and Shuangjing tea.
Let’s not talk about Longjing tea. Yun Chao had heard of it frequently in his previous life.
As for Shuangjing Tea, Yun Chao had only heard of it in his previous life and didn’t know much about it.
However, in the young woman's mouth, she praised it to the sky.
Although the young woman has never seen what Shuangjing tea looks like, it does not prevent her from knowing the reputation of Shuangjing tea.
It is said that a famous scholar-official called Shuangjing tea the best herbal tea in the world, which shows the extraordinary nature of this tea.
According to Yun Chao's estimation, the value of these five pounds of Longjing plus five pounds of Shuangjing would not be less than a hundred taels of silver, and it might even be more.
As for ten sheep, ten chickens, and four-color snacks, they are just a match. More gifts will look good in terms of appearance.
The last hundred taels of silver is...
Well, it’s just a hundred taels of silver, nothing to say.
Yun Chao touched his chin. This gift was heavy enough. It was definitely not a gift that should be given during a normal visit. If Wu Deli was looking for trouble, he would not be able to give such a heavy gift.
A few houses in the city are worth a lot, can they be considered cheap?
"Well, let him in."
Soon, shopkeeper Wu of the grain store followed a boy from Yun Chao's staff and walked in.
As soon as they met, before Yun Chao could say anything, Wu Deli bent his legs and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Inspector, help!"
Looking at Wu Deli with a haggard face and gray temples in front of him, Yun Chao couldn't help but think of the first time he entered the city after time travel.
Shopkeeper Wu back then was so high-spirited. He owned a large grain store and had countless assistants. It would be no exaggeration to describe him as someone who responded to everything at once.
Back then, I had to work hard to have enough food and clothing. Personal safety was not even a concern, and my life could be taken away by the government and thieves at any time.
Only a short time had passed, but the status of the two people had undergone earth-shaking changes. Shopkeeper Wu, whom he could only look up to back then, was now kneeling in front of him like a pug.
Of course, Yun Chao is not blinded by this so-called achievement. For Wu Deli, perhaps he is now superior.
But for county magistrates, prefects, and even higher officials, their status is almost the same as that of Wu Deli. They can be rounded and squashed at any time, or even crushed to death like a bed bug!
"Shopkeeper Wu, what are you doing? Get up quickly and say what you have to say."
Yun Chao winked, and a boy walked over, helped Wu Deli up, and asked him to sit on a stool.
"Shopkeeper Wu, we are old acquaintances. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it. No need to be polite."
Yun Chao saw that Wu Deli was hesitating and hesitated to speak, so he was too lazy to chat with him and went straight to the topic.
With Yunchao's current status, there is no need to quarrel with a grain shop owner anymore!
