The leader looked at it:
"You're quite pretty, how did you get yourself so dirty?"
Hyun grinned:
"Sir, I have spent a lot of money all the way from this small place. But when I get to Longxi, I have almost no money. I just came here begging."
The leader didn't ask any more questions. He didn't take a small businessman seriously and gave her the list and some single tickets:
"These are people who have been recruited. Calculate the daily expenses for each person."
Hyun looked at the individual tickets. They were what everyone ate every day. What were they eating? Porridge, pickles, and steamed buns were all rationed. Do you want to eat more? Sorry, no! These laborers are here to do physical work.
, she just ate these, and within a few days she lost her energy, but it was hard for her to say anything. After all, her status and the things she wanted to do now definitely did not allow her to be too busy.
Nodding and bowing, she came out of the captain's room and took her things to the small room prepared for her. It was actually a mud house with only a hard bed, a square table, and a bench. There was only one window next to the door, and there was no oil lamp.
That is to say, if things are not illuminated after nightfall, sort them out and do it as soon as it gets light.
The next day, the leader had just had breakfast, and Hyun brought the things over. The leader was very satisfied when he saw it, and found that although she could count, she didn't know much about words. She basically didn't know anything except numbers, so he completely decided to keep her here.
around.
For several days in a row, I didn't find anything. I spent all day thinking about how to flatter the commander and make him relax his vigilance. I tried my best.
In fact, everyone can do flattery. It depends on whether you are willing or not. Now Hyun is very willing to do it, nodding and bending, with a charming smile on her face. My mother used to say that Hyun is a bead in the abacus. If you move it a little, now Hyun
It belongs to the earth. It not only revolves but also rotates! When the tea is cold, he rushes to change it before the servants do. When the captain is about to write something, Hyun rushes to grind the ink.
Hyun can clean the room of the chieftain 800 times a day. After more than a month, the square table in the chieftain's room has been polished and polished. It is very beautiful and seems to be very high-end. For those who don't know the situation, come here
, always praised this table, which made the commander feel very respectable, and he was very pleased with Hyun and Yan.
After observing her behavior for more than a month, it was somewhat effective. The commander was much less wary of her. Sometimes he would not let Hyun leave after reading the letter. This was exactly what Hyun wanted, but she still had to pretend to be stupid.
If you don't know how to pretend to understand, say how well you can write, etc., the headman doesn't say much and just takes it as a joke.
Nearly two months have passed like this, but the project has made little progress, because Yu Ai wants to take this opportunity to make money. How can he really use the money he finally made on the project? The leader and the other leader You are both Yu Ai As his confidant, he can naturally delay the project as long as he can.
Hyun now seems to understand why the laborers are so poorly fed. He hardly works all day. After eating, he would sleep, brag, or go for a walk. When he gets bored, he would start a gambling game; the captured coolie Not much. Even though there is not much freedom, it is still easy. It is truly the easiest life in history.
Obviously there is not that much labor, and the total number of people who came voluntarily and those who were arrested is only a few dozen, but Yu Ai reported dozens of times the number of people to the court. Hyun really can't figure out how awesome the people behind him are. Yes, he was so blatantly taking advantage of his salary. Although he told Ning Sheng, Ning Sheng and the others couldn't find any clues at all. This super-big moth was hiding deep enough.
What is this project? Yu Ai said it was to repair the old palace of the Hao Kingdom. When Ning Fang attacked the Hao Kingdom, he did not use any swords or guns along the way. The palace, except for a few places ordered by the emperor, was basically It was intact, and in order to remember the importance of a good emperor, Ning Yan did not repair the burned places. Now Yu Ai is repairing these places.
