Chapter 3064 Dragon Pond

The servants' faces turned red, and some couldn't help but said: "How could you do this, sir?"

Li Zheng jumped to his feet, "Why don't you think about it when you are lazy? How could you do this? If you were in the army before, would you dare to be lazy? The yamen servants can't beat you to death with big whips. Now that the adults are treating you well, you slap your nose in the face...

…“

Li Zheng repeated the words he had used to scold them again, and scolded them again until his voice became hoarse.

The servants' faces were red, their heads lowered and they did not dare to say a word.

After Li Zheng finished scolding, he said: "Your Excellency is kind enough to repair this section of road and allow you a half-day holiday to go home and collect your luggage, and then you will go to Longchi to serve."

One person couldn't help but ask: "Li Zheng, we served for forty days, wouldn't it be true that we were going back just before the Chinese New Year?"

Li Zheng raised his eyelids and said: "Why, you still want to choose the day? Then why don't we just let you choose the place where you will be punished? Or just skip the punishment?"

Immediately no one dared to speak anymore.

Li Zheng looked at them with a sneer, "Build the road seriously, and you can just watch it when you finish it."

Although the servants felt ashamed at this moment, they didn't feel too deeply because everyone present had committed the crime together.

But Li Zheng's whole face was on fire, especially when he met with Magistrate Bai, Prime Minister Fang and others just now. He wished that there was a hole in the ground and he could jump into it and bury himself.

At this moment, I saw that although they were ashamed and had their heads lowered, their emotions around them were not much at first glance. Some of them even felt like they were broken.

Li Zheng looked at them and sneered.

In fact, the section of road they cut corners on was not very long, less than five miles, and it was in the last few days. They probably felt that this time the service was not as hard as before. When people are slack, they become lazy, and they can't help but perfunctory the next time they move.

.

The government officials didn't pay attention and let them fool them.

Although the road needs to be dug up and rebuilt at this time, it is easier than before. The bottom two layers are still compacted quite well. They only need to add a layer of stones and press two layers of soil to confirm that the foundation is solid.

.

It took less time than the first time to build the road, but it also took three days.

Bai Shan stood on the road and kicked the soil under his feet. The yamen servant next to him also took the tool to check and confirmed that the pressure was good. Then he nodded slightly and said to the servants standing aside with the tools: "It's accurate."

You have half a day off, and we will be waiting for you in front of Li Zheng's house when the time comes. If you are late for more than a quarter of an hour, you will be treated as a deserter."

In the past few days, Bai Shan no longer had the gentle smile when facing them at first, and said with a straight face: "Okay, let's go."

Everyone hurriedly ran back to their residence, picked up their packages and things, and ran towards home.

No one dared to doubt Bai Shan's words, and no one dared to escape from service.

If the monk can escape, can the temple also escape?

Who is not a family living in the village? No one can run away for such a thing, and they can't run away in half a day.

So Bai Shan can let them go home with peace of mind.

Of course, he is not taking this vacation because he feels sorry for them, but because when he goes to Longchi this time, the weather will get colder and colder. They have to go back to get more clothes and shoes, otherwise they will be sick and unable to do their work when they arrive in Longchi.

If you don't tell me, you still have to spend money for medical treatment, thank you?

In addition, it also allows them to feel the "love" of their families, so as not to commit crimes without any scruples outside.

Sure enough, when the servants ran home, they were greeted with beatings, curses and tears.

Most of the people who beat people were their grandfathers. They beat people and scolded them at the same time, "You have even thrown me into the county town. Who in the countryside doesn't know that you can even build a road by sneaking around? Let's see what your children will do in the future."

Say goodbye!"

Most of the scolders were female elders in their families, "It's okay for you to save effort when you were serving in the army before. Everyone knows that service is hard. You know how to save effort, and it's your ability to save money. But this time the county magistrate only asks you to do it every day."

I have been working for four hours, and I have deliberately missed the time when the sun is shining brightly, and I have given you enough to eat and drink. You are cheating and playing tricks at this time. Do you know what people outside say about our family? Your sister (daughter) hasn’t said anything yet.

Honey, you are trying to kill them."

As for the ones crying, it was naturally their wives, sisters, and daughters.

It's just a headache.

But this is not the most difficult part. The most difficult thing is when I go out. Although I can only go home for half a day, because it is the slack time for farming, most people in the village gather together to talk. When they pass by the door, someone rushes to them.

They pointed and pointed, not knowing what they said, and made unintelligible sounds one after another.

The clan brothers who had served with him in the village also came back, but now the two families could not share the same hatred, but instead complained about each other.

One said: "I don't know who you learned bad habits from. You were still diligent at home, so how did you learn these bad habits?"

One said: "This is not your first time serving in the army. I have never heard of you saving effort and being lazy. Why did you bring your cousin with you this year and turn him into a leper when you come back?"

Anyway, they didn't get any comfort when they went home. Instead, they felt even more uncomfortable and irritable. It was better not to come back.

They only had time to take a shower, eat a simple meal, take their repacked luggage and leave. This time they went out without any kind instructions, only shouted angrily: "If you are lazy and commit trouble this time, don't come back. Really."

I can’t afford to lose this person.”

Sixty servants, not a single one was missing, met in front of Li Zheng's house on time.

Bai Shan's face improved slightly when he saw it, and he said to Bai Erlang Yinhe: "There is still hope."

Bai Erlang said enthusiastically, "Let's go quickly, start early and get to Longchi early."

He wanted to go to the beach to see the sea, but at this time he no longer thought about Mingda.

The group of people transferred to Longchi. Because it was far away, they slept on the road overnight and arrived at Longchi in the evening of the next day.

Longchi has changed drastically.

The place where the salt farm used to be was full of people, and the stoves that were not dismantled were used for cooking, but they were not wasted.

Many houses have been built on some open spaces near the salt field. They are all simple thatched houses and are occupied by long-term workers who come to work here.

When the servants come over, they can directly choose a house and move in.

When they arrived, the long-term workers and craftsmen had just finished their work and were queuing up to get rice with their rice bowls.

Seeing the sudden arrival of so many people, everyone turned to look at them, but only once. After confirming that they were also here to do work, they looked away.

Bai Shan had already asked Mr. Cui to go back and only brought Fang Xiancheng with him.

This was the first time Prime Minister Fang County came to Longchi since Bai Shan took office. He was shocked for a moment. This was no longer the Longchi he was familiar with before.

Bai Shan left Yi Ding to him and took Bai Erlang and Yin You to find Master Cui.

"Master Cui is on the dock."

Bai Shan pulled the horse over and got on it. Seeing Yin standing there, he smiled and asked, "Do you want to ride a horse or a car?"

Yin You was very moved, hesitated for a moment, turned around and said to Changshou: "Go get the horse."
