Arrange them in the courtyard where the servants lived before, plus the courtyard where Grandma Tian’s free clinic is. The two courtyards should be enough. They can take turns to rest, not all at the same time, so they can be opened on a turnover basis.
Everyone had something to do, so Magistrate Lu hurriedly asked his staff to go back and buy food to bring over. There were at least two hundred people escorted on this trip, and these meals were a big expense. He also asked the officials from the Yamen to come over and help.
As a result, Xiaojia Village was extremely lively; it took him a day and a night to count all the cement, and the number of kilograms was indeed 60,000 kilograms, or even a little more.
Magistrate Lu's face was haggard, but he was in good spirits; his eyes were astonishingly bright; Guard Feng, who had just woken up from a nap, looked at him with admiration.
"Lord Magistrate, has the inventory been completed?"
"It's been counted, and there's still some more. You see, how much extra money there is. I'll have someone prepare the money and send it over." Magistrate Lu said tentatively.
Feng Shiwei said: "Anything more is considered a gift. The young master did not ask for your silver. However, the total transportation cost during our journey was one thousand two hundred taels. We only paid nine hundred taels. Therefore, please ask the county magistrate." Let’s settle the rest.”
"Okay, okay, easy to say, easy to say." Magistrate Lu immediately took out three banknotes from his body, one hundred taels and two fifty taels. "Feng Weiwei, I only have these in hand for the time being; I am ordering people now." Go back and get it, do you think it’s feasible?”
Only two hundred taels, a difference of one hundred taels.
"Okay, let's wait for the county magistrate in Xiaojiacun." Guard Feng looked at the people who were sitting together to rest. These were the only people who didn't sleep last night. Half of them had gone to sleep and got up. I wonder if there’s breakfast now?”
"Yes, it has been prepared." Seeing this, Staff Wang, who was beside Magistrate Lu, said with a smile: "Sir, it is ready now. You and the other bodyguard brothers can just go and have breakfast; the place is making arrangements for you. There is a kitchen in the other courtyard, which is convenient for cooking."
Feng Weiwei nodded, bowed slightly, turned around and called his brothers who were sitting on the ground to rest. The group of people went to another courtyard. After walking in, they found that everyone in this courtyard was awake and were in the courtyard. Sitting and eating breakfast.
"Captain Feng." The person who spoke was the bodyguard. Two teams of bodyguards were hired among the escorts on this trip.
Because they knew they could build a relationship with the Ji family, the two escorts didn't charge much this time. One family only charged three hundred taels. Of course, except for food, the guards from the Ji family needed help.
If you take a escort trip, you can get involved with the Ji family; there will be more business in the future, so why not do it.
"Yuan Biaotou." Guard Feng cupped his fists and saluted.
Captain Yuan smiled and saluted, "Servant Feng, you are here to have breakfast too! How is it outside?"
"We've almost finished counting. After we've eaten and drank enough, we can set off and leave." Guard Feng immediately took out three hundred taels of silver notes and gave them to him, and stuffed another portion into the other bodyguard's head, "I'll settle the money with you first." Clearly, if you are willing to take escorts on the way, we will not stop you."
"Shiwei Feng is very generous." Captain Yuan and the other leader Chen smiled happily and took the banknotes with both hands. They were quite convinced of Weiwei Feng in their hearts. Along the way, everyone got to know each other somewhat. Regardless of his youth, Weishi Feng , is quite capable and has great skills. ….
They didn't encounter any robbers along the way. Their escort trip was the easiest one.
"You two guards are welcome, let's eat first." While they were talking, the people hired by the Yamen to help cook had already brought out hot porridge and steamed buns for them; a full steamer had just come out of the pot and was very white. .
Magistrate Lu also put a lot of effort into entertaining them well, providing them with delicious food and drinks.
Feng Shiwei and others each brought a bowl of hot porridge and gathered in front of the steamer to eat. One bite of steamed buns and one mouthful of hot porridge made Xilihulu happily eat.
After breakfast, the people who Magistrate Lu sent back to the Yamen to collect the silver also came back. They came out after breakfast. Magistrate Lu immediately handed over the remaining one hundred taels of silver notes to Guard Feng, which was considered complete.
When Feng Weiwei opened it, he saw that it was not a hundred taels, but an extra fifty taels of silver notes.
Guard Feng was accustomed to this and accepted it calmly.
.
"I don't know if the County Lord is getting up. I was in a hurry last time, so I have to pay my respects to the County Lord now." Guard Feng asked County Magistrate Lu.
Magistrate Lu shook his head, "You have to ask the people serving in the courtyard about this matter. I know nothing about it."
"Okay, you guys are busy. We will pass by the county town later. Let's load the cement into the truck first. We will unload it for you at the county town and then drive back." Guard Feng bowed and left.
Magistrate Lu stood there and watched him go away, and he was about to reach the entrance of the courtyard where Minghua was. Two other middle-aged men caught up with Guard Feng. Magistrate Lu didn't know what they were going to do, but he knew These matters are no longer beyond his control. He wisely turned around and called to the official in the Yamen to put the cement back on the carriage, waiting for Guard Feng and others to come over.
He wanted to pay a visit to the county lord and thank him by the way; however, he didn't have any gifts of thanks now, and he couldn't give him any thanks.
Guard Feng knocked on the door of Minghua's house, and this time it was a little maid who opened the door.
"Has the county chief risen?"
"The county master should be up. Please wait a moment. I'll go and call my grandma." The little girl, who is about ten years old, came with her family. She usually only does things within her power, such as cleaning with the adults, Cooking, etc.; therefore, she got up earlier, and it was she who opened the door now.
"Okay." Guard Feng nodded and handed her a few coins.
The little maid was so frightened that she threw the copper plate to the ground and said with a mournful face: "Sir, please don't embarrass me. My mother has said that we have enough to serve the county master. We can't take other people's money."
Guard Feng:......
Yuan Biaotou:......
Biaotou Chen:......
Is the legendary Lord of Zhaoyang County so strict?
"Don't panic. If you don't want it, don't do it. Could you please go and inform the nun next to the county lord." Guard Feng bent down and picked up the copper coins on the ground. He couldn't let anyone embarrass him; he also really didn't expect the servant next to the county lord. , even though she is an inconspicuous little maid, her rules are so good.
Not accepting other people's things without permission, including money, shows that these slaves are truly loyal to the county master. There will be some slaves in other people's homes who take advantage of their masters, even around the masters.
Should he talk to the young master from time to time?
Zhaoyang County Lord's method of controlling his subordinates is really advisable.
The little maid was so frightened that she no longer dared to say another word to the three guards Feng; she ran towards Minghua courtyard as if running away.
Knocked on Minghua's door, "Aunt Chen, Aunt Tian, Aunt Luo, has the county master washed up?"
"What's the matter?" Grandma Chen asked.
"Guard Feng is coming outside, and there are two people I don't know. They say they are here to pay homage to the county lord, and they are already waiting outside the courtyard gate."
