Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

When Chu Ci heard this, she quickly winked at her husband.

Seeing this, Fan Jingrui smiled and said, "I agree with grandma..."

When Chu Ci heard this, he became extremely anxious and pinched the soft flesh on Fan Jingrui's waist hard, as if to say, "If you dare to ruin my business, I'll give you a taste of it."

Fan Jingrui knew that he couldn't tease his wife anymore. If he teased her too much, he would suffer. "But since ancient times, a woman's dowry has belonged to her alone. Ci'er, do whatever you want."

After hearing that Fan Jingrui supported him, Chu Ci's eyes suddenly became bright as stars, shining with dazzling brilliance. Fan Jingrui felt that the light seemed to have a unique warmth.

Chu Ci didn't know what Fan Jingrui was thinking. At this moment, she was eager to confirm with Old Lady Fan, "Grandma, my husband has agreed."

"I agree, I agree. It seems that we are really old, and maybe we should really let go." Although she was responding to Chu Ci, Mrs. Fan stared at Mr. Fan with a smile in her eyes.

Although Mr. Fan was upright, he was easy-going. "No problem, I will run the private school alone. You guys can each find a suitable livelihood for yourselves."

When the old man said this, Mrs. Fan wanted to learn from Chu Ci and let the old man experience the power of the "Dragon Drill". Even if you want to let go, you can't let go all at once! Unfortunately, the words have been spoken, and it's hard to take them back.

So, after leaving the old couple's room, Chu Ci bought enough bricks and tiles as quickly as possible. The next morning, these bricks and tiles were delivered to Jingtian Village in a mighty manner.

Jingtian Village suddenly became very lively, and some curious people even ran to the empty homestead of the Fan family, as if they could see the elegance of the large blue brick and tile house in advance.

Even the village chief watched from afar, full of envy.

Of course, there are people who envy, and there are always people with bad intentions. "What is the origin of this Fan family? Why do they make such a big show when they arrive in the village? Did they bribe their superiors?"

"It's hard to say. On the day that the Fan family settled in the village, didn't two families go to the Sin Village? I heard that they came together. Maybe..." The woman did not say the rest of the words, but everyone present knew the meaning.

For a moment, the originally bustling place fell into a brief silence.

After a long time, a brave woman said, "It seems that we should stay away from the Fan family in the future."

Chu Ci just walked over and said, "Mo Yan, remember these people. My Fan family workshop will recruit workers in the future. These ladies and their families don't need to come."

"Yes," Mo Yan agreed, and was actually memorizing their appearances.

These women realized that gossiping also had its price. They wanted to apologize, but Chu Ci had already led his men towards the village chief's house.

"What should we do? We won't really offend the noble man, right?" Seeing Chu Ci taking the servants and going to find the village chief, these women were really scared.

But they still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts. "Where are we? This is a barren exile place. How can there be any noble people here? Is she trying to scare us?"

"Even if he is not a nobleman, he is still much better than us country folk who have nothing." A clear-headed person retorted casually.

This sentence was like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of everyone present. Yes, even if he was poor, he could afford to hire servants and build a big brick and tile house, which was better than everyone in Jingtian Village.

Chu Ci was completely unaware of all this, nor did she know that today's scene had shocked many people in the village who had ulterior motives.

At this time, Chu Ci had already arrived at the door of the village chief's house. The village chief, who had received the news, hurried back in a hurry. Chu Ci couldn't help but laugh. Could the village chief be among the crowd of people watching the excitement just now? "Village chief, what are you doing?"

"Just now, Erzhu's sheep ran away, and I helped chase it. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, madam." In order to prevent Chu Ci from thinking that he was a gossiper, he made up an excuse.

Chasing sheep? If Chu Ci hadn't seen the village chief meowing in his yard, he would have believed it. But Chu Ci didn't expose it, "The village chief is really good to the people."

Chasing sheep? If Chu Ci hadn't seen the village chief's eyes rolling around, searching for his target, she might have believed it. But Chu Ci didn't expose it, "The village chief really cares about the villagers."

The village chief accepted the compliment with shame: "No, no. Madam, please come in."

Walking into the yard, the ground is compacted soil, with only a few commonly used paths paved with stones. It is clean and tidy, showing the love of its owner.

Walking into the main room, the furnishings were extremely simple, with an old wooden table leaning against the wall and a few equally worn wooden stools randomly placed around it. There was no decoration on the table.

After we sat down, a little girl about eleven or twelve years old came in with a bowl of coarse tea. "Madam, please have some tea."

Chu Ci nodded in thanks and then said, "Village Chief, I'm sure you've seen it. My house needs a lot of manpower, but I'm not very familiar with the village. Therefore, I have to trouble you. I wonder if you're willing to help?"

The village chief was naturally happy to do so, but he still had some concerns. "How many people are needed?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci immediately gave the other party a reassurance. "As long as the work is done diligently, there is no limit on the number of people. The wages are 15 cents a day. Village chief, for your hard work, I will give you 20 cents. What do you think?"

When he heard that he could earn more than the workers in a day just by following the arrangements, the village chief could no longer sit still and stood up, rubbing his hands unconsciously: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely select some reliable people for you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, village chief. Here is a hundred coins. Please help take care of the bricks and tiles on the homestead." Chu Ci said, and Mo Yan handed over a purse.

The village chief weighed the money secretly for a while and felt that it was very important. Even if it was less than 100 coins, it was probably not much different. The village chief was secretly happy about such a generous gesture. He was still polite, "It's just a small matter. Why would it cost so much money?"

Chu Ci smiled calmly: "Is it a lot? Twenty cents for one brick, but it's just the price of five bricks. I think it's cheap. But don't think I'm stingy, village chief."

The village chief didn't expect that the account could be settled in this way, and was slightly stunned. "How dare I, how dare I. Madam is generous."

The business was done, and Chu Ci had no intention of continuing the polite conversation. "I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Chu Ci wanted to leave, and the village chief did not dare to stop him. He respectfully sent Chu Ci away. But just as Chu Ci and his group left, the village chief's wife came running in and asked anxiously, "Old man, I heard that the lady wanted to build a workshop in the village. Is it true? Tell me quickly?"
