Chapter 240 is placed in Liuye Village

Seeing a girl next to his sister, he asked, "Who is this sister?"

Nangong Anshan said: "Second brother, I saw her looking for a job on the street, so I brought her back, and she will take care of me from now on."

Nian Pingping respectfully said: "This servant has seen the second young master."

Nangong Sheng said: "You know the rules, have you ever served in a rich family's house before?"

Nian Pingping said: "The servant used to be from the capital city. The whole family escaped from disaster and served the young lady of a big family in the capital. Later, the young lady of that family died unexpectedly. The master and wife were afraid of seeing the servant girl sad, so she sent the servant girl Released from the house."

"I see."

Nangong Anshan asked her second brother to drive the carriage to the cooking oil workshop and the sugar workshop to unload the goods. She took Nian Pingping home and introduced her to her family.

Li Wangfu

After listening to what his son said, Li Wang looked at the iron and iron ore on the table in shock.

"Axu, have you really found the iron ore? We just discussed looking for iron ore yesterday, and you found it today?"

"Father, I didn't find it. It was Ashan. She raised two white tigers. The white tigers found it and told her. After she went to confirm it, she told me. I also checked it myself. It is indeed iron ore. , and the range is not small, I guess, enough for our use in the past few years."

Li Wang was very excited immediately, this God is so kind, what he needed, he actually sent him something.

"Okay, okay, this is really a happy event. Ah Shan is really too timely. These days, my father is so anxious that I can't sleep. With this iron ore, the big stone in my father's heart, it can be regarded as fell."

Dugu Huanxu repeated the suggestion that Nangong Anshan had given him.

King Li thought for a while after hearing the words, and said: "Ashan's words are also reasonable. How many iron ores are dug out every day is indeed a confidential matter, and the people should not be informed. Also, mining iron ore will indeed cause damage to the surrounding environment. Huge impact, from this point of view, there is no way to keep people there.”

"I think so."

Li Wang found a map from the bookshelf and said, "Point me out the location of the iron mine."

Dugu Huanxu pointed with his finger.

Li Wangdao: "The village near the iron ore is Changshui Village. Recently, I am checking the population of the villages around Blue Cloud City. I happen to have everything about that village here."

After speaking, he turned around and took out a bamboo slip, and spread it out on the table.

Dugu Huanxu stepped forward and took a look, "Changshui Village was originally our village, with a total of 200 people, a total of 40 households, a total of 400 mu of cultivated land, and an average of 2 mu of land per person. "

"If the village is moved, it is not difficult to redistribute the land, and it does not cost much money."

"The forty families, each of which is a mud-brick house, each needs at least five taels of resettlement fees. A total of two hundred taels of silver is needed, which is not much money."

"But if others lose their house, they must be given the house money. I can also pay for it here."

Li Wang nodded, "We need to give them tax exemption for one year. If they are allowed to farm again, they must be the same as the people in Liuye Village before. They can only start from the wasteland."

"Yes." Dugu Huanxu said, "It's just a question of where to place it."

Li Wang thought for a moment, then suddenly pointed to a location on the map.

Dugu Huanxu said: "Liuye Village?"

Li Wang nodded: "Isn't there a shortage of people in Ashan? Then I will send a group of people to her. I believe she will be happy to accept them. People in Changshui Village will also have jobs in the future. I guess they will be willing to move there too. .”

Dugu Huanxu said: "My father said that Liuye Village is also very big, so let's leave this matter to the child."

King Li said: "Okay, if the villagers in Changshui Village don't want to move, it's better to show courtesy first and then go to war. Otherwise, it's okay to raise all the resettlement money to eight taels of silver. Also, it's winter now, although it's not kind to let them move, but In order to deal with the war next year, they can only be sacrificed. Before moving to Liuye Village, let the soldiers temporarily build wooden houses. Each family will send charcoal to them once a day before the spring, so as not to freeze them at night. gone."

"Yes." Dugu Huanxu said: "Father is benevolent, as long as the people in Changshui Village are obedient, the child will do what father says."

In other words, if the people in Changshui Village are disobedient, then he will not be polite.

Li Wang said: "Okay."

Dugu Huanxu said: "Father, the matter of cotton has been settled, and Ah Shan is willing to sell all the cotton in her family at the price of fifty cents a catty."

"But does she have that much cotton at home?"

"She said that she has stored a lot. If the quantity is small, we can mix other wadding into it. This will be much warmer than clothes full of wadding."

"That's right, you should do it yourself."

"Yes, Father."

At this time in the Nangong family, Nangong Anshan handed Nian Pingping over to the four servant girls of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then went to do her own business.

From the time she arrived at Nangong's house until the evening, Nian Pingping was always in surprise.

Surprised that although this home is an ordinary rural courtyard, plus she has nine servants.

I am surprised that this family still has a workshop. The oil that is very popular in the city is actually made by this workshop.

Surprised that this family still has a white tiger.

She was even more surprised that Nangong Anshan didn't have the airs of a young lady, and she even cooked for the family herself, and her cooking skills were even first-class.

Some of the dishes cooked were returned to their servants, and they were really as good as her previous master.

There is also the dish made with oil, the life of King Li's fiefdom is actually better than the life in the capital, and her previous employer, the Prime Minister's Mansion, did not have this kind of cooking method.

Nangong Anshan put the deed of sale in front of Nian Pingping, and said: "Everyone who enters my house must sign the deed of sale. If you really want to stay in my house, sign the deed of sale. From now on, Even if it's your husband's family, they can't do anything to you anymore. After you sign it, give me the household registration documents, and I'll go to the government to file for the record some other day. "

Nian Pingping didn't have any objections when she heard the words, obediently took out the household registration documents and handed them to Nangong Anshan, then began to write her name on the slips and pressed her fingerprints.

Nangong Anshan put away the deed of sale and household registration documents, and said, "Yingqin."

Yingqin stepped forward and said, "Miss, what are your orders?"

"Let me introduce again. Her name is Nian Pingping. She will serve me exclusively in the future. If you can sleep in your room, let her live in the same room with you. You and the other three should get along with her in harmony. Don't bully her, or I'll sell you all, understand?"
