Chapter 138 [Large project commanding tens of thousands of people](1/2)

The ancients woke up very early, and those who slept were lazy. The poor got up early to work, while the rich also had something to do.

In short, the plan for a day lies in the morning. Whether it is the common people, princes and nobles, or even the emperors who own the world, they also do not have the bad habit of sleeping in.

Anyone wants to sleep when he is lazy. It is definitely more comfortable to lie down than to stand. However, the ancients deeply understood one truth, that is, people have to do things when they are alive.

What is a living thing?

The people farm.

Scholars read.

The wealthy families work hard on the family business.

Kings, princes, generals and ministers participated in the morning court.

As for the emperor with great ambitions, he may have risen earlier than everyone else.

...

Guo Ziyi yawned, gently tucked the corners of Yang Yuhuan's quilt, grabbed Ling's delicate calves again, and carefully stuffed them into the quilt.

This girl doesn't look like a princess at all, but rather a wild girl from a farmhouse. She never sleeps peacefully, and her bare calves often stretch out from the bedding.

Although it is March now, the climate in the early morning is still cold, and if you don’t pay attention, you will catch a cold. Colds in this era are not a joke.

The rooster started to crow twice, but the sky was still not bright. Guo Ziyi tiptoed to the door, but Yang Yuhuan on the bed had been awakened.

"Why don't you sleep for a while? It's not dawn now."

The pregnant woman was sleepy and yawned while asking questions. She lifted her warm quilt in a daze.

The next moment, I couldn't help but sneeze.

Guo Ziyi hurriedly walked back to the bed, tucked the corner of the quilt again, and whispered: "It's getting late, the chicken has been screaming for the second time. Today I'm going to start building a city, and I guess the refugees have gathered long ago."

Yang Yuhuan shrank his head to the quilt and said softly: "Then you add some clothes before going, it's still a bit cold in the morning of this season."

Guo Ziyi waved her hand and said, "I don't wear it or not. I have to take it off when I go to the place. The refugees are doing ragged clothes, and I'm a bit unreasonable in thick clothes. Besides, I'm not afraid of the cold, and I don't feel cold in winter."

Yang Yuhuan nodded and said softly, "Then you go, remember to get angry less. Although we are having a hard time at the moment, it's better to get through this level. Don't worry about food, food will definitely be transported to you at noon."

At this time, Linglong muttered and hummed sleepily: "The green forests under my grandma are more likely to grab things than those who are in the army. They have already figured out the other side of Maling Mountain, so Li Guangbi and the others will definitely not return empty-handed."

Guo Ziyi nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the door, opened it and leaped out, closed the door again, and reminded him: "It's still early, you two will sleep for a while. Don't wake up, and let the two little maids take more sleep... Our family will not be a landlord and old fortune, and do not do anything to bother with the servants."

Yang Yuhuan's laughter came from the room and joked: "It sounds nice to you, but you still feel sorry for the two maids. Men, eating the bowl and looking at the pot."

Linglong continued to mumble and murmur.

At this time, the chicken began to crow for the third time, and Dongfang finally showed a little white belly. Guo Ziyi coughed dryly and said, "Let's go, you sleep for a while."

...

After leaving the back house of Jianyi County, the front yard was in a few steps. The manager Guo Qi had already waited, and there were twenty servants standing next to him.

The dew was heavy in the morning, and the clothes of these people were wet. Obviously, they all got up very early, and maybe the chickens had already gotten up before they could chirp.

Guo Ziyi frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "Didn't I say it? Our family is not going to be a wealthy family. Lao Qi, what's wrong with you? Why are everyone yawning?"

Guo Qi smiled with his face. Although he was scolded, he didn't care. Instead, he yelled and made excuses, he said, "I got up early, I am full of energy, and the yard is still a little messy. I will take them to clean up a little..."

After saying that, before Guo Ziyi spoke, he quickly changed the topic: "The head of the family got up very early. Can you eat breakfast first? I know that you are busy today, so I asked my wife to prepare the meal in advance. Don't worry, this time I didn't add meat, I cooked porridge with ten pancakes. Eat a little bit so that you can have experience to work after eating."

Guo Ziyi glared at him and asked, "Didn't you force your wife to stay up late?"

Guo Qi's head was like a rattle, but his tone of answering was vague, saying, "I slept for a while, but I didn't stay up late, it's not considered staying up late. The head of the family ate breakfast first, okay? I'll have the energy to do business after the meal... Or I'll ask my wife to bring the meal over to ensure that the porridge and pancakes are still hot."

Guo Ziyi had no choice but to say, "Stop tossing, I'll go over and eat."

When Guo Qi heard his agreement, he immediately led the way happily.

In a room not far away, Guo Qi's wife was leaning out. When she saw Guo Ziyi coming, she quickly started to handle it. She quickly served a table of dishes, which was steaming and smelled.

Guo Ziyi frowned again, turned to question Guo Qi and said, "Is this what you said to eat a little bit?"

Guo Qi smiled again and said, "I will pay attention next time, and I will pay attention next time. These women are always disobedient and always cook too much."

Guo Qi's wife next to her also smiled apologetically: "Master, don't be angry, I will pay attention next time."

The couple admitted their mistakes, but the expression on their faces was obviously unchanged. Anyway, when Guo Ziyi had dinner next time, she would be the same as before.

Without any help, Guo Ziyi could only sit down, grab a pancake, swallow it in a few bites, then pick up a bowl of thick porridge, and pour it into her mouth with a sensation.

The rice was just right, obviously counting the time he got up, and just from this level of attentiveness, Guo Ziyi felt warm.

So when he grabbed the second pancake, he pointed to the stool beside the wall and pretended to be angry: "Transfer it to me and eat with me. You couple really don't know what to say."

Guo Qi laughed and came over with half a stool with salivation. He was a retainer of Guo and was qualified to be a member of the head of the family for dinner.

But Guo Qi's wife refused to serve the table. She just picked up a little bit of food with her bowls and chopsticks, then thanked her quietly, and squatted at the door with her bowl and squatted at the door to eat sweetly.

This is the rule of the ancients. Guo Ziyi could not change the orders several times, but he had no choice but to smile and continue to eat his cake and drink his porridge.

Since his time traveled, his strength has become stronger and stronger, and his appetite has naturally increased. Often, ten or eight pancakes have been eaten in a blink of an eye.

However, he usually can't eat too much breakfast, because Guo Qi and his wife stubbornly believed that eating less breakfast was needed to keep healthy. So even if Guo Ziyi gave him advice and asked him to increase the amount every time, the couple still controlled his food by themselves.

There were only ten cakes in the morning, and there were no more porridge. Only two bowls were given. If you wanted to drink more, Guo Qi would sigh. His wife would wipe her eyes and tears. She looked at Guo Ziyi with a eager eyes and apologized occasionally, thinking that she could not control the food of the head of the family.

The couple is definitely not stingy and want to occupy Guo Ziyi's food, but are actually loyal and really want to make Guo Ziyi good.

There is no way, it is the pedantic of the ancients. I don’t know which sage started, and the subtle rules of eating less breakfast were passed down. Guo Ziyi wanted to scold people, but she couldn’t scold them.

If he scolded, Guo Qi's wife would definitely wipe her eyes and tears again. Once the woman started crying, she would be sobbing that it would make people upset.

...

Ten pancakes were quickly eaten, and two bowls of porridge were quickly drunk. At this time, it was already dawn, and Guo Ziyi stood up and stretched his muscles.

He glanced at Guo Qi and found that the guy was stuffing his last bite of cake into his mouth, obviously trying to finish it quickly and follow him to do things.

Because of the rush to eat, I rolled my eyes so hard that I saw it. Guo Ziyi wanted to laugh, and couldn't help but glar at him, scolding: "No one is forcing you, why do you do so quickly? If you choke to death one day, where will the head of the family find someone loyal? Eat slowly, don't hurry..."

However, Guo Qi had already swallowed the pancake viciously and said in a rough manner: "To build a city today, the head of the family must be busy. How can I, a retainer, let the head of the family wait for me?"

Guo Ziyi snorted, seemingly not giving him a good face, but she was extremely satisfied. She felt that this guy was really considerate.

After the master and ministers finished their meal, they walked out of the house one after another. Guo Qi's wife gave her a greeting, and kept nagging that Guo Ziyi was wearing too little.

When Guo Ziyi walked far away, she heard Guo Qi's wife scolding in the room. She became used to it and started scolding the child again: "This is the gift from the head of the family. You little thing are enjoying great fortune. Don't drool first, wipe the table and stool three times..."

"You guys think you have a conscience. You know how to pay your respects to your wife first. Do you want to remind me? I will naturally remember that the head of the family is kind and the wife is kind, so we should remember the rules we should do as servants."

"I said it several times, don't drool. The pastry was made by my wife. I heard that I accepted a child bride last night... The pastry is very expensive, don't worry about you, a brat."

"You said the wife would give you food?"

"Mrs. I'm not allowed to eat it if I give it to you."

"Pastas are very expensive. The head of the family is now spending a lot of money. He has raised so many refugees. You guys think about how much pressure the head of the family is."

"Remember, if your wife gives you a pastry later, you will refuse to say that you are full and you eat the meat pie that the owner of the family gives you."

"Son, we must be conscientious in life. Your father can become a retainer and bring us three mothers over. This is the love of the head of the family, and we will repay us for the rest of our lives."

"That's right, this is a good and sensible child. Be good, mother wants to prepare breakfast for the wife. You shout your sister, help put on your clothes, go to the wife's side to greet you first, and stay there for a good service."

"If your wife teaches you knowledge, you must kneel down and kowtow to thank you. That is a very powerful knowledge. If you learn it, you will become a talent."

"If you have the ability in the future, you can better help the head of the family. Unlike your father, who is incompetent in the name of a retainer. Even my mother is lazy to say that he will be like this in his life. Apart from being loyal to the head of the family, he has no ability at all."

"What? What do you guys say? Is it called ability to manage a servant? It is only when you can help the head of the family to be able to do things."

"Get out of here and call your sister to get up, go and pay tribute to your wife, and stay there to serve. Remember not to be naughty, otherwise I will kill you with one stick."

...

After walking far away, you can still hear the voice of Guo Qi's wife. This typical Guanzhong woman has a strong personality.

Guo Ziyi shook her head helplessly, glanced at Guo Qi following behind her, and reminded: "You take the time to talk about your wife, don't always scold the child like this. Especially when you are assigned to work, I think this is completely unnecessary. If we don't build a wealthy family, my wife and I don't like to mess with the servants."

Guo Qi laughed with her, as if she had heard it.

However, this guy was very stubborn and explained in a long and long-lasting manner: "He is not young anymore, he is already ten years old this year. He should learn to do some work to avoid laziness. Besides, it is not a tiring job, just to serve his wife. The wife is about to give birth, and she needs to pay attention to walking, sitting and lying down. The child reacts quickly and is suitable to support him."

Guo Ziyi was helpless and snorted coldly, "What about your daughter? What can she do when she is only three years old? Three-year-old Xiaoniu, are you willing to let her serve others?"

Guo Qi was scolded, but he remained unchanged and continued to salivate and said, "This is what the wife has chosen. The wife likes to let Niu Niu accompany her."

Guo Ziyi snorted coldly again, but no longer insisted.

Guo Qi was very proud and laughed: "Master, don't be angry. This is actually two little things taking advantage of this. They serve their wife and learn things every day. It's amazing, they are all great things. For example, the homework my boy did last night, I didn't understand it even though I thought about it... The chicken and the rabbit were in the same cage, counting from the top, there were 35 heads, and counting from the bottom, there were 94 feet..."

This guy started to talk again.

Guo Ziyi thought he was too long-winded and suddenly accelerated his pace. The master and servant kept moving forward along the street and soon saw the crowd in front of him.

The refugees had already gathered together.

...

Although it was early morning and the weather was still chilly, the county magistrate Wang Yue was busy and sweating profusely, leading a group of clerks to write quickly.

"Name?"
