Su Cheng suddenly mentioned in the lobby of the government office that women from the private sector should be used to make up for the labor shortage. How could Su Tao not understand what he meant? He coughed twice and said, "You can't tolerate such things."
Su Cheng lowered his head and said, "A civilian girl knows that her words don't count, they are just words."
Su Tao was so worried that she choked to death, and was shocked: "How outrageous!" Su Cheng looked at her nose and heart.
Yang Guotai hid behind the pillar and couldn't help laughing: "Master Su, please don't let this girl die of anger."
Su Tao glared at his daughter angrily, and said to Xiaoque's father: "The marriage agreement must be based on the law of three matchmakers and six hires. I will investigate and investigate the matter of robbing civilian women in detail in the future."
The little bird's father shrank and said calmly: "Um...Isn't this little man a failure..."
Su Cheng suddenly asked from the side: "Do you know whose family is successful?"
Before Xiao Que's father could speak, the eldest brother rushed to say, "I know! The wives of Liu Ermao and his three brothers were all cheated. The two brothers of Gao Shitou and Fang Da Fang all got their wives..." Counting all the treasures from the family.
He went down and counted more than 20 people in one breath. At the end, he said enthusiastically, "There are many more people I don't know."
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll repeat it to you, please listen." He repeated it once.
The elder brother nodded repeatedly: "Yes, they are all right! And the King Monkey on Mahua Street..." He counted again. After listening, Su Cheng repeated and checked.
Yang Guotai asked curiously: "Can this girl remember what she heard?"
Li Guopei said: "She is smart, and now that she has concentrated her mind, she will naturally remember it clearly."
Yang Guotai said: "If you check these, you will know." Li Guopei glanced at him. Yang Guotai suddenly understood, "Ouch! Little girl film."
Brother Hou Xiaoque couldn't think of anything else. Su Cheng nodded and clasped his fists at him: "Thank you very much."
Su Tao coughed twice and said, "Go back and bury your daughter safely." Then he wanted to send them away.
Seeing that Su Cheng was acting very arrogantly in front of the government officials, the little bird girl knew that the daughter-in-law could not be obtained, so she still shouted: "You broke our family's vat!"
Su Cheng's expression was complicated: "If you bury the little sparrow well, I will give you a good vat."
Xiaoque Niang wanted to speak, so her man grabbed her and shook her head vigorously. The family then left. Xiaoque's second brother frequently looked back at Su Cheng, which made Su Tao so angry that he slapped her in the face again: "How outrageous!"
As soon as they left, Su Cheng got up immediately. Su Tao was so angry that his face was like gold paper. Su Cheng didn't wait for him to get angry and said first: "I haven't finished talking about many things just now. Please listen to me first."
Su Tao smiled angrily: "Say!"
Su Cheng then stood in the hall and recounted everything he had seen in the past few days from the beginning, without even pulling down the dried meat from the Bodhi Corner. Suddenly, the whole hall was filled with the sound of vomiting, including Li Guopei. Only Yang Guotai did not vomit, and slowly walked out.
He walked out from behind the pillar and sighed: "It's really the King of Yan who doesn't know how to hire people."
Su Cheng said solemnly: "It's not that he is ignorant of his employment, but he is sincerely sacrificing the people of this province."
While Su Tao was vomiting, he immediately understood that she was referring to the rumor that King Yan hid the Supreme Emperor in Jinggang Mountain, so he steeled himself and shouted: "Shut up!"
Su Cheng said softly: "My chocolate recipe has been improved in the past two years and can be mass-produced. I want to open a chocolate factory."
Su Tao took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "You have endured so much hardship outside and are still not honest when you come back. I will send someone to build a factory for you."
Su Cheng shook his head: "I will do it myself. There are so many women who have been robbed, and their parents' families must have lost their food. My factory only recruits this kind of female workers."
Su Tao thought: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for my husband's family to let him go."
"How can they let it go?" Su Cheng sneered, "If we don't get married in a serious way, can we still count it as the in-laws' family? If there is a fluke, there will be no chance of snatching the bride. How much money can be saved? These people are poor and used to it.
They will not spend the money they can save - depending on Xiaoque's father's wishes, he is even prepared to save the money for the coffin. Not to mention the bride price? Besides, they just stole it. If their men become rich in the future,
We don’t even need a letter of divorce.” Nai gritted his teeth and said, “We can’t leave even one instance.”
Su Tao knew that she was a creature of his own kind, and for a moment he forgot to blame her for being naughty, and said with relief: "How can you be the same as them?" Su Cheng's eyes turned red, and he shook his head. Su Tao frowned and said, "Since a family is like this, we might offend the people.
Change."
Su Cheng said: "No. As long as they have a civil uprising, Xie Jing has changed that time. Xie Jing still doesn't have troops. Don't we have General Li and Uncle Tugen?"
Li Guopei and Yang Guotai immediately walked out from behind the pillar. Yang Guotai first said: "Don't worry, sir, we still don't pay attention to the few criminals who robbed civilian girls."
Su Tao thought: "As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment in two years, this kind of thing will naturally disappear."
Li Guopei said: "Not necessarily. Your Excellency, please don't forget that Xiaoque's eldest brother just now. Someone else snatched his wife but it was fine. He felt that he suffered a big loss if he didn't snatch her." He paused, "I think that what the eldest lady just said is extremely
Yes. Women have to come out to work, otherwise the manpower gap will be huge. If the robbery continues, female workers will not dare to go out - it is not only the girl's family who will be robbed, but also the daughter-in-law. The only way to save the bride is to resort to thunderbolt means.
By robbing women, you can frighten the people who are accustomed to robbing their relatives, so that you can get female labor. Sir, we also need to control the water, and the people are really not enough."
Su Tao thought for another long time, but really had no other way, and sighed: "That's it, let's leave this matter to General Yang." Su Cheng and Yang Guotai have been friends for many years. By entrusting Yang Guotai, he tacitly allowed Su Cheng to mix in.
. He looked at his eldest daughter and said sternly, "It's just this one time, it won't happen next time!" Su Cheng simply agreed. Yang and Li snickered. Su Tao glared at her again, "Why don't you go back and see your mother!
"
Su Cheng agreed, ran a few steps and came back: "Dad, that Doctor Mei!"
"I'm going to investigate right now. If it's true, I'll pardon him immediately."
"Mr. Su is mighty~~The civilian girl resigns——"
When Su Cheng returned to the Su Mansion, the disciples laughed when they saw her: "The eldest lady is back so soon?"
Su Cheng jumped off the horse and asked with a smile: "Did my grandfather change all the locks in the house?"
Menzi replied: "It will be changed the day the eldest lady leaves." Su Cheng snorted and thought to himself: Wouldn't I be worthy of the change...
She went straight to see her mother Zhang, comforted her and acted coquettishly, and withdrew to Su Zheng's courtyard.
The old man didn't expect her to come back so quickly. He looked at her carefully and said, "Why are you back?"
Su Cheng smiled bitterly: "I've been sued, so I have to come back."
Su Zheng snorted: "How about outside?"
"Now we know that in the past we were a frog at the bottom of a well, trying to get a better idea." Su Cheng sighed, "Traveling thousands of miles in a big carriage is not really traveling thousands of miles."
Su Zheng asked curiously: "How can you even understand this in just three days? These three days must be wonderful."
Su Cheng thought about it for a moment, and sighed with sadness: "It's not wonderful at all. It's very uncomfortable." Then she told her grandfather the story from the beginning.
Su Zheng was shocked after hearing this: "Has it reached this point?"
Su Cheng said: "I'm going to see Dr. Mei this afternoon."
Su Zheng stroked his beard and thought for a moment: "That's fine. If you can't persuade me, I will go."
Su Cheng said solemnly: "I can persuade him." After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Today I know what it's like to carry a burden on my shoulders. It's not easy for my father." Su Zheng nodded and ordered people to go out and fight.
Find out where Dr. Mei lives.
Little did they know that the clerk from Jia's Horse Racing Shop was at Doctor Mei's house at this moment. He looked at Doctor Mei and said apologetically: "Mr. Mei, I can't help you. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
Dr. Mei was packing up her belongings at home and waiting for them to be distributed, and asked casually: "Have you gone to see Magistrate Su's daughter again?"
The waiter said: "I just met you this morning. She said that I will not let you go. You are a good person, and it is rare that you are sober in your medical skills. As long as you stay here, you will do something good for the people."
Doctor Mei was speechless. He stopped what he was doing and said after a while: "This Su Tao is actually different from what he heard."
The waiter sighed: "If I had known, I wouldn't have led her there."
"I don't blame you. You have good intentions." Dr. Mei simply turned back and sat on the bamboo rocking chair. He kicked the green bricks on the ground with his left foot, and the rocking chair began to creak and rock. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Su Tao
If you don't let me go, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." The man apologized again. Doctor Mei waved his hand and thought for a while, "At least I can keep close relatives."
"Miss Su said that you have made great contributions in preventing and controlling the plague. It is not a problem to deny the credit."
Dr. Mei sighed: "North America is so far away that we are the most susceptible to diseases on the ship." He sat upright, holding on to the armrests of his chair, and looked at the waiter, "You always advise me to join your revolutionary party, and I agree."
Guy’s surprise: “You agreed?!”
Doctor Mei said firmly: "As you and Shopkeeper Zhou said, overthrow them." He hit the handrail again, "Let them no longer have the ability to decide where 'I' want to go."
The clerk also responded: "That's right! We make our own decisions about our own destiny!" He stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to Dr. Mei. Doctor Mei smiled and stretched out his own. The clerk shook it hard, and then held his left hand up, "Comrade
,Welcome to join the revolution!"
That afternoon, Su Cheng came to Dr. Mei's door as expected. This time she simply wore official robes.
After all, the Jin Yiwei was worthless for a long time, so Su Cheng ordered the maid to make a suit based on Chen Ruijin's Jin Yiwei Feiyu suit. Seeing that she wore it well, Chen Ruijin gave her a badge of 100 households. Su Cheng still thought Guan'er was too young.
She complained that she was only "up to the sixth grade". Chen Ruijin said: "Master Jia Xu is from Qianhu." He blocked her mouth with one sentence and asked her to wash it a few more times, lest it would look brand new and wear it out and not fool anyone. Su Cheng's
The maid remembered and understood, so she washed and dried the clothes and made them into new ones.
How could Dr. Mei guess these details? He thought the visitor was really a guard in royal robes. He was shocked for a moment before handing over his hand: "My lord, may I ask?"
Su Cheng smiled and cupped his hands: "My surname is Su. Mr. Su Tao is my father."
Doctor Mei took a breath, bowed, and invited her into the study. He pointed to a list on the desk and said, "That is the family member I want to keep."
"It seems that someone has come to tell Dr. Mei." The maid who was following Su Chengming took the list and came over to look at it. Fortunately, it was not much, and they were all important relatives of Dr. Mei. "North America is a long way away.
, every ship is equipped with a ship's doctor, Doctor Mei can rest assured."
Doctor Mei was surprised: "Is there a ship's doctor?"
"I'm afraid that the young, old and the infirm will get seasick or acclimatized. Every immigration ship has a ship's doctor." Su Cheng smiled, "After all, what we want is for people to come and occupy the land there. And the gold mines in California are really good.
There are so many of them, your people’s survival is not a problem.”
Doctor Mei hurriedly asked: "Gold mine? Is it in the west of North America?"
"yes."
"Isn't it going to the east?"
"No. Bandits and Green Foresters are sent to the east." Su Cheng said, "There are many Europeans in the east. If we send the helpless people there, what if they are beaten to death by their troops and people? Isn't it in vain?"
"I see." Dr. Mei nodded, "If it weren't for my own family members who left their hometown, I would have praised him twice for his wisdom."
Su Cheng glanced at him: "They want to leave their hometown, isn't it because your Mei family's aunt colluded with bandits and almost bloodbathed Nanchang City?"
"Therefore, I did not cry out for injustice."
"Come on, come on." Su Cheng pursed her lips, "I'm afraid you have never met Mei, and what she did has nothing to do with you. The guilty ones will all be killed, and the innocent ones will be punished. However, the national law is
So, what does it matter if my father is an upright official?"
Doctor Mei smiled bitterly: "I didn't complain about your father." Su Cheng had disbelief written all over his face. Doctor Mei said, "Although I don't recognize that aunt, and I never participated in the bandits' attack on the city, I studied ethnic studies when I was young. These things
Over the years, I have received many benefits from the clan. Once you have received benefits, you cannot be considered innocent."
"Doctor Mei is a sensible person." Su Cheng cupped his hand and said sternly, "Now we know that there will be floods in the spring and summer this year, so my father will have to work hard to control the floods; there is a lot of robbery in the market, and I want to rescue those people.
The woman who was robbed; the victims of Bodhi Point asked Dr. Mei to resettle her."
Dr. Mei wondered: "Prefect Su already has all the officials and government officials under his command. Wouldn't it be great if we asked an official to take care of this matter?"
"I don't trust them enough," Su Cheng said. "Although they are just relocating the victims, there are few benefits to be gained from it. Doctor Mei has a Bodhisattva heart and will never be greedy for the money and food given to them." She said with a wry smile, "The victims are really real.
They are too weak. Their food rations have been deducted and they are unable to tell the truth. And they are too weak. A slight mistake may not be fatal." She said sincerely, "Doctor Mei, there is really nothing we can do. It's not that we don't have talents. It's just that people's hearts are hard.
It’s an emergency. If you really want to go to North America, that’s fine. Once all the victims have settled in and there are no new victims of this year’s floods, I will get you a ferry ticket next year.”
After hearing this, Dr. Mei looked at her for a long time and said, "The eldest lady is quite thoughtful."
Su Cheng said honestly: "I was scared. They were really miserable."
Doctor Mei nodded and said with a smile: "Miss, do you still remember the little girl who gave you flowers yesterday?"
Su Cheng was stunned: "How do you know?" Nai hummed, "That guy has such a long tongue."
"That's not what he said." Dr. Mei said, "I was at Bodhisattva Corner that moment. I recognize that girl. I asked her to send you flowers."
Su Cheng understood immediately. At that time, he didn't know that the clerk would intercede on his behalf. He thought that he would be sent overseas with his clan members, and he couldn't worry about these victims. He taught the girl to please him in order to attract the prefect's attention.
Feeling pity, I couldn't help but clapped my hands: "Sure enough, these people can only be cured by being handed over to Dr. Mei. I'm sorry, I have to break my promise. Mr. Mei, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave next year, the year after, or the year after." Mei.
The doctor was startled when he heard the words "Mr. Mei" and then smiled.
