The casual life of the flat space

"But, that's more than 2,500 people!" General Zhao hesitated.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao. I can definitely arrange it, and the timing is perfect."

"But Tieying..." General Zhao wanted to ask where the 600 people were arranged, but then he remembered that this child was not simple, not to mention Mu Qingqiu, so he swallowed his words back.

"Okay! General Li, go back and assist Tieying and send all the soldiers away tonight."

"Uncle Zhao, I actually want to ask you for a favor..."

……

After leaving the county government office, Bai Tieying and the other person followed General Li to the Military Command Headquarters first. Not long after, a captain named Ji and a group of soldiers followed them to the small ravine south of the county town.

When they were almost there, they saw Xing Lao Da and Li Laonian waiting at the intersection. They rode their horses forward, greeted Bai Tieying, and were introduced to Ji Du Tou. When Ji Du Tou and Li Laonian went to take over, Bai Tieying went aside with Xing Lao Da and asked him to bring people to check the cash.

Gold and silver were piled up so haphazardly in the carriage that when Boss Xing opened the carriage, he thought something was wrong with his eyes. He also asked his brothers to tow out the remaining, more or less defective carts. How could they take them back?

"Uncle Xing, is there something wrong?" Bai Tieying asked curiously when he saw Boss Xing lift the curtain and did not move for a long time.

Boss Xing came to his senses after hearing this, and quickly lowered the curtain. He looked around and saw the soldiers guarding the intersection, and he felt a little relieved.

"Tieying, how can you let me take these back?" Boss Xing laughed bitterly. He is still a child after all! But didn't anyone remind General Zhao? He didn't even give me a box?

When Boss Xing saw that it was General Zhao's men who came to pick it up, he thought that the money was also paid by him, but it might be difficult to bring it to the table for some reason, so he used Bai Tieying's hand.

But he never thought that it was not General Zhao who was stingy, but Bai Tieying who had to bear the blame - because Bai Tieying did not have any boxes to put them in! The boxes for gold and silver in the secret room of Xuanqinglu were fixed by mechanisms, while the boxes in the space were automatically formed by the space. She was just a porter, so why would she need boxes?

Now that Boss Xing said this, Bai Tieying also reacted. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Uncle Xing, there are some things. They are in that car!"

So she turned to another carriage, stretched her hand inside, opened the curtain, and pulled out a pile of sacks to show to Boss Xing. Boss Xing was even more amused and confused when he saw it. If she hadn't thought of it in advance, he would have thought that the child was reluctant to leave the box!

It’s not that Bai Tieying was reluctant to part with it, but the car was filled with lime that she had bought for Dongfeng Village from the stone shop when she came back, and there was really no place to put the boxes.

When the owner of the stone shop saw that the soldiers were following behind him, he was very happy to sell the stone to the girl who was willing to pay cash. Seeing that she only had one cart to carry the stone, he said that he could deliver the stone himself, hoping that the girl would buy his shop.

It's no wonder that the shopkeeper is so enthusiastic, because now all the resources in the city have been "voluntarily" collected by the county government, and being able to get anti-insect supplies in advance can be regarded as Bai Tieying's reward to Boss Xing and others.

Although the county government promised to repay the money in the future, who could say for sure when and how much it would repay? So when Bai Tieying came to buy with real money, the shopkeeper was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. Maybe this was the last money their shop would see?

In fact, when Bai Tieying gave the idea, she really called on everyone to donate money and materials. She didn't want to fleece anyone, nor did she want to ruin Shang'an's economy, and she didn't want to abuse her power. But ideals are beautiful, but the reality is that who can volunteer like her? Who can make money as easily as hers?

But now General Zhao is the acting county magistrate. If it were someone else, especially a civil servant, even if this matter was to be done, the means would not be so tough.

But General Zhao was a military commander after all. Although he was shrewd and calculating, he had the idea of ​​enforcing orders. And those cunning people in the county government only calculated how much benefit they could get from it...

So when those big merchants and guild presidents learned that they could not leave unless they agreed on a specific amount, they knew that this matter had to be "voluntary" and full of "sincerity"!

There are pros and cons to things. Although the means are not glorious, the efficiency has indeed been improved. In the less than two hours from the time Bai Tieying came up with the idea to the time he returned, General Zhao and his men had already allocated manpower and allocated supplies. When Bai Tieying went to the Commandery, many people had already assembled.

That's why Bai Tieying was able to take Jidutou and others to receive the horses and vehicles so quickly. Even the stone shop was led by Jidutou. However, the owner of the stone shop didn't expect Bai Tieying to give him cash.

"Uncle Xing, these are limes. When you go back..." Bai Tieying explained this and that, and Boss Xing was naturally happy.

"Uncle Xing, I just asked you to count the people who can go to the county government to help. Have you greeted everyone?"

"Okay, okay. We've thought it through. There isn't much land in the village anyway, so during this time, the elderly, women and children in the village will look after the house. The men, except for those few lazy and unpresentable ones, will go to the county government to help."

"Haha, let me give you a tip. General Zhao has agreed to pay those who come out to help a hundred coins a day. Although it's not much, Dongfeng Village is different from other villages. Isn't it better to just sit there and do nothing?"

In addition, after this is over, in addition to exempting Dongfeng Village from one year's taxes, the county government will also give two places in the third shift. You can discuss who to send when the time comes."

"Really?" Boss Xing was so excited that his legs suddenly went weak. Fortunately, he still had his senses and quickly held onto the carriage to stand firm.

"Of course it's true, but it's also true that only our Dongfeng Village can mobilize so many men, and other villages have to send people to support us. They have the will but not the ability! And other people who can be recruited will no longer have these benefits, and they will no longer be paid so much. Uncle Xing, you have to seize the opportunity!"

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you Tieying!" Boss Xing's eyes were red with excitement. He knew that General Zhao could give him such a good condition as a "stinky horse dealer" because Bai Tieying must have been the one who arranged it.

"Okay, Uncle Xing, please tell the uncles and aunts to come and move the things. Tomorrow at 3:00 pm, as soon as the city gates open, you will report to the county government! I have to go to Xiahe Village later!"
