Li Qi said with emotion, "In the six places I visited today, a total of three elderly people and two babies died, and many others were injured, but none of them involved human lives.

There is nothing we can do about it. I heard from the village heads that they are too poor and there is nothing they can do. Almost every year when it snows, people die. First, they are easily buried, second, they are easily frozen to death, and third, they are easily starved to death.

We brought food over today, and even though we had to work to get it back, they were extremely grateful, saying it was life-saving food, and they kept kneeling and kowtowing to us. "

It’s difficult for ordinary people!

Who says it's not true? "After working hard for a year, not only do we not have enough to eat, we can't even afford to build a normal house. How about this, when the snow stops, send some people to teach the people in these villages how to make a kang for free.

They are allowed to learn and make money with this skill. Moreover, there are mountains near these villages. If they collect more firewood, as long as each family has a kang, they will not freeze to death in the winter.

"Master, righteousness."

"What do you think of the customs of the people in the villages you visited?"

“I went to a village near the other courtyard, and I felt it was okay. There were a few troublemakers, but they were not bad or evil people.

When we arrived, the village head had already led people to work together, knocking on doors one by one, looking for people in the snow."

"Yeah, that's fine. If anyone is willing to save themselves, we'll lend a hand if we can.

Forget about those who don't save themselves. There's no need to save them. If they don't save themselves, who will save them? We are not saviors."

"I understand, Master. I also told them that our manor will need a lot of workers after the New Year. Let them get well and prepare."

"Yeah, very good."

"I'm afraid it will snow again tomorrow. I heard from some old people in the village that based on their experience, it will snow again. No matter what, we have distributed food today, so at least no one will starve to death."

"This is the only way for now. We will take it one step at a time. We will continue to recruit workers according to the previous standards after the New Year. If we find someone who is particularly capable, we will increase his salary. We will ensure that more work will earn more, and less work will earn less."

"Okay, Master."

"Once we finish this wave of work after the New Year, we won't care about food, and we'll just increase the wages. You can calculate the cost by then, and pay the wages according to the amount regardless of food.

We raise their wages right after the New Year, fearing that they will not be able to afford food after returning home, and their bodies will not be able to bear it, so they should eat first to recuperate and then adjust. "

"Okay, Master."

Shen Ruyi then changed the topic, "How are those martial maids? Have you observed them?"

Li Qi praised with satisfaction, "Master, I've been paying attention. It looks pretty good so far. They have no complaints about today's situation.

Once told to get started, she doesn’t ask too many questions and just gets started. She’s more capable than many men. After all, she’s specially trained. She listens to orders, doesn’t ask too many questions, and just gets started.”

"Yeah, that's good, this is the best. Don't worry, let's wait and see. You've been tired all day, go to bed early. As for other things, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

It’s fine as long as it’s useful, Shen Ruyi said, and went straight back to the inner courtyard.

Returning to Changle House, seeing Changle and the others watching Sun Wukong, Shen Ruyi went straight back to the house to practice.

I have been planting for a day today, but I haven't practiced kung fu yet. Now I feel relieved and I will practice kung fu directly.

When I woke up the next day, there was a thick layer of snow in the yard. I don't know when it started snowing, but the snowflakes were still falling sporadically.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Chen Liang came over.

As soon as he saw Shen Ruyi, he said, "Young Master, Shen Ni just passed away.

Yang Ninghao plans to keep the funeral a secret and bury the body in two days. When I came here just now, our people had already informed Shen Huai of the news. "

"Okay, once the message is passed, have people withdraw immediately. This matter is over, there's no need to follow up anymore. This is the final payment for your hard work." Shen Ruyi handed over an ingot.

"Also, young master, Shen Wu's leg was broken."

"Oh? Because of gambling?" Is it that awesome?

"Yes, young master. The person who was following us found out accidentally from the gambling thugs.

Up to now, the gambling house has come to collect the debt three times. The first time I paid it back the quickest, but the second time was more difficult and it took a long time to get the money back.

Those people had given up on Shen Wu because they saw that he had no money to make. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation to make up for his losses and went to gamble on his own.

As a result, the situation got bigger and bigger, and there was no one in the Shen Mansion to clean up his mess. Seeing that Shen Huai didn't care about his own brother, the gambling house broke his legs. His life was completely ruined."

Shen Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, "Good, very good."

Getting closer and closer to my goal.

Shen Ruyi likes to take revenge quietly like this, without anyone knowing. How great it is! After she dies, she won’t even know who to ask for revenge.

As for standing in front of people and arguing with Shen Huai and the others? How tiring it would be.

Shen Ruyi had never thought about it this way since she came here, and felt that it was something only a fool would do.

Face them, confront them? I'm not sick, isn't it better to live a peaceful life? I'm not a jerk, there's no need, absolutely no need.

Li Qi added, "Also, Madam Shen Huai asked the housekeeper beside her to beat up Shen Huai's concubine, but Shen Huai caught her in the act. Shen Huai directly ordered the housekeeper to be crippled. It is said that she is unable to get out of bed and is hanging on for life.

Madam Shen Huai has become extremely irritable due to her disfigurement, and gets easily irritated. She and Shen Huai are now at loggerheads, fighting every day. "

Beautiful! Is it that great? It's getting better and better!

"The concubine Shen Huai has good fighting ability. She is a smart one."

It seems that the storybook has to be put on the shelves in advance. It’s impossible for Yang Lishu to die before the storybook is out.

"Keep watching. How much of the storybook have you copied?"

"Back to Xiao Dong's house. As of last night, they have copied more than 80 books. Apart from sleeping and eating, they have been copying books for the past few days."

"Yeah, okay, when you go back, ask them all to copy the book of romantic affairs, I need it urgently.

How many shelves did you have delivered in total? Was it 120?"

"Yes, young master, they are all the same length, but slightly different in width. A total of 120 were given away. The total cost was 68 taels. The housekeeper has already helped to pay for the remaining money."

"Yes, please help me order some large vats and urns to store grain. There is no limit on the quantity. Order more.

I want another batch of flower pots. I want all sizes, ordinary ones, expensive ones, and I don't want too many flower pots. Here's a 200-tael deposit. You can allocate it as you see fit." Shen Ruyi handed over a silver note.

"This time we'll deliver it to the second courtyard in Huaihua Hutong. We can order from a few more stores and wait for the snow to stop before shipping. There's no rush to use these two items."

By the way, I asked again, "Is there anything else new these two days?"

"There was a heavy snowstorm yesterday, and many old houses that had been in disrepair for a long time on the outskirts of the South City and the North City were directly crushed.

Many people were buried there, and the soldiers have been investigating and rescuing them these past two days. A large number of people are homeless, and are waiting for relief food from the court, but it is estimated that it will be difficult. "
