Liu Feifei didn't know how to express herself. She could only listen to Xiaobei and nod her head.
She had a lot of thoughts in her mind. This was an official. Her brother was bullied by an official when he was selling dolls in Jiangzhou. Perhaps the official who bullied her brother wasn't even a Level Seven official. A Level Seven official was already a county magistrate.
With an official position, he could do whatever he wanted. If he wanted people to build drains, he could do so. If he wanted people to plant willows, he could do so. If he wanted people to plant willows, he could plant willows. If he wanted to plant any species, he would have to ask the experts in the village.
"Xiaobei, don't worry. I'll do my best. If you don't know how to do it, you can ask Third Grandpa first. Our group is rich, and I'll get a lot of money in the future. I promise that I won't be greedy when I become the supervisor. If … if I use my power for personal gain … I, I …"
"Bring me your head. We're sisters, so I'll give you a quick death." Speaking of this, Xiaobei seemed to be a different person. "I asked Uncle Emperor for an official position because I want to use his favor for personal gain. But since I want Old Willow Village to develop well, and I can't guard it myself, I can only arrange it for you.
If you do something wrong, I won't say that the world is righteous. I'll only say that for Uncle Emperor's trust, even if you don't deserve to die, I'll impeach you. You know that all the officials we impeach are innocent and have five grades.
So, Sister Feifei, if you need anything, tell me first. We'll help you think of a way. You can't do it secretly. "
Liu Feifei didn't think that Xiaobei was wrong at all. She still nodded. "I know, I know. When you investigate officials, you'll have the help of your family's intelligence network. So, you can't be wrong. I won't learn from Yan Zheng. I heard that he's still alive and is on the street outside the palace.
At most, yes! If I can't make a decision in the future, I'll ask Third Grandpa. If Third Grandpa can't make a decision, he'll ask you. If you can't make a decision, you can ask Brother Xiao Bao and Sister Cuckoo. Can they do it? "
"That's right. My brother and sister are very capable. Uncle Emperor and the civil and military officials have to ask my brother and sister for help when they can't figure it out." When Xiaobei heard others mention her brother and sister, she immediately became proud.
When the two of them talked, they did not avoid the people around them. The people in the village and the people in the market listened and watched. They found that they could not find Xiaobei even if they wanted to.
This was because they discovered that Xiaobei was very calm. She did not mention the righteousness of the world, nor did she talk about the morality of the past and present. They only thought that she had selfish motives. She liked Old Willow Village, so she used her connections to directly ask for an official position from the current dynasty's Emperor. If she said it was a seventh rank, then it was a seventh rank. If she said it was a real position, then it was a real position.
They didn't fear her authority, but they couldn't accuse her of having bad intentions. Moreover, she was so cute and beautiful, and she was also the little sister of Xiao Bao and Cuckoo.
Not far away, Xiaohai stood up. He was relatively calm. He held his sister's shoulder and said to the surrounding people, "There are rules in every trade, and every country has its laws. Even if you are a thief, you are not allowed to rob if you can't steal. Those who sell things, don't play dirty tricks, such as pouring water into the meat. You should earn the money you earn, but when you shouldn't, don't let me see it."
"Who dares?" A butcher continued Xiaohai's words. His voice was very loud. It was not that he was not afraid, but he found that the nine children were very reasonable. Therefore, he gathered his courage and said what he wanted to say.
"The pork that I, Ding Yidao, sell are all pigs that I carefully selected. Those who buy my meat know that when the pigs are driven by me, they are so hungry that they are crying out. Pour water? Even if they want to drink, I won't let them drink, right? "
The person who called himself Ding Yidao shouted to the side.
Those who had bought meat in the surroundings also shouted, "Yes."
Xiaohai ignored him. His character had always been like this. He turned around and walked to his mother's side.
Xiaoyuan was more easy-going and always took the blame. He stood up and agreed with the other party. "Yidao, I think it's a knife in and a knife out. His skills are good."
Ding Yidao didn't care about Xiaohai's attitude. He didn't mention Xiaohai's identity and only said that he was a businessman. He had encountered many buyers who were difficult to talk to, so he was already used to it.
However, when Xiaoyuan praised him, he was happy. Although he was a butcher, his mind was still alive. He knew that when Xiaoyuan praised him and he worked hard, Ding Yidao's title would be set.
There was no need for the Emperor to praise him. As long as one of the nine people praised him, he would be able to stand in the Tang Empire. After all, Xiaobei casually asked for a seventh-rank official.
Thinking of this, Ding Yidao turned around and ran. His legs moved so fast that he almost knocked the two people down. Just as Xiao Yuan was wondering why he was running away, Ding Yidao came back, dragging a fat pig that looked like it weighed about two hundred pounds.
"There's still one alive. I'll kill it for you. If I can't kill it with one knife, I'll bite it to death." As Ding Yidao spoke, he took out a two-foot long knife from his waist. It was a narrow knife, not a chopper. The knives used to kill pigs were different from those used to cut meat and bones.
He didn't dare to hold the knife to Xiaoyuan to show that he was not aggressive. If he held it like that, his hand would definitely be broken. Instead, he bit the back of the knife with his teeth, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Xiaoyuan.
"Stand down." A person stood out from behind Xiaoyuan. It was Zhang Qiang. He asked the two fast gunmen to step back and said to Ding Yidao, "Where's the blood basin? I'll help you with the blood. Don't waste it. Some people like to eat blood tofu. "
Ding Yidao was stunned for a moment. Because he was trusted, his eyes turned red. Tears welled up in his eyes. He spat the knife on the ground, turned around, and ran again. When he came back, he held a basin with blood inside. He shook it vigorously and handed it to Zhang Qiang.
"Walk east from here. About fifteen to six li. Ding Village is my home. My name is Ding Da Sha. The people standing here know me. I have a father and a mother. My wife is also from my village. I also have two children. Da Wa is five years old and Er Wa is three years old."
Ding Yidao picked up the knife and rubbed it twice on the three layers of pig skin belt that reached his thigh.
Xiaobei smiled and said, "Well, I can tell that your skills are good from the way you wipe the knife. Sister Feifei, in the future, if you want to buy good meat, you can go to his village and ask him to choose good meat for you. If he doesn't choose good meat, he won't pay."
The originally tense atmosphere eased up after Xiao Bei's words.
Zhang Qiang didn't hesitate. He carried the basin to the pig. The pig found that the situation was not right. He didn't move.
Ding Yidao didn't stop. He held the handle of the knife and pulled the pig's ear. When the pig raised its head and struggled, his right hand suddenly stabbed the pig's lower left neck.
'Ow!' the pig cried out miserably. Ding Yidao flipped his wrist half a circle and threw the knife to the side. He rode on top of the tied up pig, whose four hooves were lying on the ground. His right arm wrapped around the pig's neck, while his left hand pulled on his right hand and tried to lift the pig's head up.
The pig's blood splashed into the basin that Zhang Qiang was holding. Zhang Qiang said that he wanted to get the pig's blood, but he couldn't free his hands. It was Xiaoyuan, who hated blood the most, who grabbed the chopsticks and mixed it with the water mixed with wine.
The blood foam had piled up to an inch high in the basin, and the blood below could hardly be seen. The strangled pig reflexively struggled a few more times, but in the end, it stopped moving. Zhang Qiang had a hard time holding on to half a basin full of blood. He sat on the ground and gritted his teeth.
"Okay, remove the pig's hair." Ding Yidao loosened his hand and shouted to the people next to him. A person who looked like his disciple took the pig and pulled it to the side.
"It's so fishy." Xiaobei came over and sniffed. She looked scared. "It's too cruel. I'm afraid of seeing blood. The pig is so pitiful."
Xiaoyuan, who was splashed with blood, threw away the chopsticks. "Okay, don't pretend. Are you afraid of pig's blood? Haven't you seen human blood? Ding Yidao is really a knife. The pig only struggled twice. Unfortunately, its heart was broken. "
"How can it be the same? I eat pigs, not humans. When I eat pigs, I think of the scene when I kill pigs. I'm the most soft-hearted, right? "Xiaobei seemed to be saying to Xiaoyuan, but also seemed to be calling on the people around to support her.
However, no one said anything because they all thought of Yan Zheng.
After almost three seconds, the people in the inner courtyard near the Zhang Qiang and Wang families suddenly shouted, "Yes!"
"See, many people agree. Regardless of whether it's true or not, I'm happy to hear it." Xiaobei said with a smile. She didn't have high expectations.
Of course, the happiest person was Ding Yidao. The three treasures of the Zhang Qiang and Wang families were so close to him just now and even helped him. He had to brag about this trust when he returned to the village. He would brag about it every day and for a year, others would crowd around him to listen.
Liu Feifei, who had just become a Shangguan, saw that the killing was over. She carefully came over and looked at the blood in the basin. She asked puzzledly, "Can't we just cut the blood vessels? There's no need to use such a long knife. "
Ding Yidao rubbed his hands on his body and answered, "Okay, but pigs live a long life. When we kill animals, we pay particular attention to one cut. We kill as fast as we can. One cut to kill a chicken, one cut to kill a pig, one cut to kill a cow, one cut to kill a cow, one cut to kill a chicken, one cut to kill a pig, one cut to kill a cow.
Liu Feifei nodded in understanding. She looked at the blood on the ground and where Ding Yidao's disciple was. She pursed her lips and worried.
Ding Yidao's disciple was there to remove the pig's hair. There was a stove made of mud and a big pot boiling water. The dead pig was placed on a wooden board. Ding Yidao's disciple was splashing hot water on it while removing the hair.
His movements were skillful and fast. Someone was standing nearby. It seemed that he wanted to buy a piece of meat after he was done. He didn't think about the taste first. He only thought about the fact that it was Zhang Qiang's children who helped to kill it.
Ding Yidao followed Liu Feifei's gaze and found this matter. He shouted, "Don't wait. I'm not selling. I'll give it to Old Willow Village. I'll let the officials divide it. What do you think, Official Liu?"
Ding Yidao's joking words didn't make Liu Feifei laugh. She looked at the water on the ground and shook her head, "This won't do."
"Why not? I don't need a pig. "Ding Yidao said generously.
"It's not a pig. I want a pig. It's the blood from killing the pig and the dirty water from cleaning the pig. After a few days, it will be warm. Won't it be full of flies? There are also the vegetable leaves and fish intestines from the market.
Previously, I told Xiaobei that we should dig a drain and flush it into the river. Now it seems that it won't work. The blood and the fishy smell can't be washed away. Third grandfather, what should we do? "
Liu Feifei became an official and began to exercise her power. She had the right to decide, but she couldn't do anything. She could only ask the village chief, who was also the village chief.
Old Man Liu had been in a special state of excitement ever since he saw that the little girl in his family had become an official. The Liu family of Old Willow Village had first produced him, a person who could get money from the government every year, and now they had produced a seventh rank official.
There were many children who did business with Xiaobei. If he died, he would have something to say to his ancestors. When he returned, he would take Fei 'er to the ancestral house to worship the ancestors. Fei' er's branch would also be promoted.
While he was thinking, Liu Feifei had asked him twice. She touched him again, and he came back to his senses. After listening to her again, he waved his hand generously.
"It's okay. Just throw it away. The market will disperse and go to the river. What's there to be afraid of? They won't kill people. "
"Why won't people die? I learned in school that flies will make people sick. Even if they don't die from the bite, they will die from the illness. It can't be like this. I'd rather not go to the market. "
Liu Feifei became a senior official, and her temper became worse.
Xiaobei listened to them and was also worried. She was not worried about the market in Old Willow Village. She had a way to deal with the problem of a village. She was worried that there were many villages in Tang like this, and many people had the same idea as Third Grandpa.
Liu Feifei said that she did not want to go to the market. Xiaobei walked to her side and pulled her arm. "It's easy. I'll ask people to build a big methane pool. Throw the dirty things in, but don't throw the wood. It's just like the one in Old Willow Village. Zhengzheng Construction should have built it for us, right?"
"It has been built, but it hasn't been used yet. We have to wait for the first thing to turn into gas. Then, who will take care of it after it's built? We have to allocate some people to collect the methane pool. Then we can't work and earn less money. "
Liu Feifei said a very practical problem.
"You're right." Xiaobei also thought of this problem after hearing Liu Feifei's words. It was not good to rely on the people who sold things. There had to be specialized people to do it.
However, this kind of market did not collect taxes. If you charged them one coin per month as management fee, they would not accept it.
"Wait. It's time to eat. Let's eat first. I'll discuss it with them." Xiaobei first asked people to distribute the food one by one. After greeting herself and Xiaoyuan's mother, she asked the maids to serve them. She asked Xiaoyuan and the other eight people to sit together. They did not want to be disturbed. They discussed things while eating.
Xiaoyuan and the other eight people had been used to the meeting. They gathered together and whispered, not in the mood to eat.
Those who were invited to eat ate quickly. After a quarter, many people finished eating and went back to where they were supposed to be. The people who sold things in the market cleaned up consciously. Liu Feifei had just said this, so they could not go against her.
At this time, the group of nine people finished their discussion. Xiaobei hurriedly finished half a bowl of rice and came to Liu Feifei's table. She said with a smile, "Well, the problem is solved."
Liu Feifei's table was full of important people with the surname Liu in Old Willow Village. Old Liu, as the patriarch, sat in the north and faced the south. It was the main seat. Liu Feifei sat in the first seat on the left. From today on, her status changed.
The people around the table were all sitting on folding stools to eat. When they saw Xiaobei coming, they all stood up. Liu Feifei went to the front, held Xiaobei's hand and asked happily, "What should we do?"
"Find a person in charge of our village and pay him a salary every month. As for the money, let the Sinongsi Temple pay for it, or let the people who sell things do it. What do you think? Awesome, right? "
Xiaobei showed a look of "I am awesome."
Liu Feifei smacked her lips and shook her head gently. "Why should the Sinongsi Temple pay for it? The people who sell things are even more unwilling to pay. "
"Let's talk about the people who sell things first. There are people who sell soup pancakes in the market, right? There are people who sell tea, pancakes, fruits and other things. Even if they want to kill a pig, they have to shed its hair. They bring firewood to burn. It takes time to pick up the firewood. They can use this time to do other things, such as buying firewood, which is also expensive.
Let's do it like this outside our village. In the market next to the Hongnong Amusement Park, there can be a night market at night. Whoever lights it with methane will pay. "
Xiaobei stretched out a finger and said while shaking it.
Not only Liu Feifei, but also the people who heard it nodded to show their agreement.
"Secondly, why should the Sinongsi Temple pay? Because they need to try planting all kinds of seeds in various places. They can't ask people to bring fertilizer from the capital. If they use the fertilizer in our methane pool, we will charge them.
The Sinongsi Temple will research good seeds suitable for local planting and sell them to the farmers. The farmers will increase their food supply and earn more money. Isn't this a good idea? "
When Xiao Bei mentioned the second point, the number of fingers on his finger increased from one to two.
The people who heard it were all stunned. It should have been a difficult problem to deal with, but after hearing Xiaobei's words, they felt it was a good deal.
"Xiaobei, you are so awesome. Do you want to do this in all places in the Tang Empire? You have to tell His Majesty first. "
Liu Feifei jumped happily and looked at Xiaobei with admiration in her eyes.
Xiao Bei was very embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "What's so great about it? I was just bragging. When we discussed it just now, we found that there were many problems. There were problems with the specific construction, management, rules, laws, and follow-up development.
Anyway, you know there are many problems. We can't figure them out. Later, we will send a message back to the capital and ask my brother and sister. I will pay to build the methane pool in the market of our village. "
Everyone was stunned by Xiao Bei's words. It was just building a methane pool. Why did it become so troublesome in Xiao Bei's words?
*****
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also felt it was troublesome. Xiaobei sent the message to them.
When they saw what was written on the paper, they immediately had a headache.
"This is a system of independent departments, and at the same time, there must be contact with other departments. Who will pay for the methane pool? How to recover the cost? How to calculate the extra profit after paying the management staff? Who will be responsible for collecting the money? This alone is a special arrangement, not to mention other problems. "
Zhang Xiaobao had never thought that so many things would happen when his younger brother and sister went out.
Wang Juan snatched the paper and gestured for Zhang Xiaobao to look at the sand table. "There's no need for us to think about it ourselves. Let them worry about it first. Come and look at the sand table. Where is the main force of the enemy's vanguard?"
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the model left behind by the last message from his side. He really wanted to get a sand table of the enemy and compare the two. That would make things easier.
"If it's not in the south, then it's in the north. In any case, it can't be in the middle. The fire is still burning."
Zhang Xiaobao said.
Around the same time, Zhang Shougui said the same thing as Zhang Xiaobao.
However, there was someone called Wang Yi who said something different. "My camp is still lying in ambush within the forest fire region. I request for the referee group to show me the detailed data of the forest fire within our field of vision in theory. My camp still has people there."
