Chapter 1181： Give up your pick

Chapter 1181 It’s time to give up!

These words touched Li Laoer's heart, and he responded, "I have thought about this in the past two days, but it is difficult to find a breakthrough. The pressure on that person is too small, and it will not work. It is easy to do bad things if you go too far..."

Just halfway through speaking, Jiaan came in angrily from the door.

Li Laoer and Liu Zhiheng were both surprised. Li Laoer quickly asked, "What happened?"

Jia'an finished the matter in one breath, and then lowered his voice and said, "Second uncle, we can no longer take care of these refugees! We usually pity them because they have no fixed place to live and are far away from home, and we have never treated them badly.

Unexpectedly, they are the ones making the loudest noise now!

“Our Li family is not lacking in this merit, but they can’t do it without me, the Li family.

“Simply find an opportunity to abandon this job, teach these refugees a lesson, and also create some trouble for those in the palace and court!

"Save them from being too idle and focusing all their thoughts on plotting against our family!"

Li Laoer and Liu Zhiheng looked at each other and both smiled.

Li Laoer took his nephew to sit down and said, "I was a little worried when I told you Uncle Liu about this just now, but I thought you gave me a good excuse to come back.

"I will immediately write a sick leave note and send it to the Yamen. You will also ask for leave. No one in the court cares about the Quanzhou Foreign Affairs Department anymore. They are all fighting for power or Mingzhebao."

Jia'an nodded and responded hurriedly.

"It should have been like this a long time ago. Everyone still thinks that our family is taking advantage of a thankless job. Let's see who takes over in the future and who will have a headache!"

Immediately, Li Laoer asked people to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Li Laoer's official position is now in the Department of Husbandry, and his family is in the Department of Personnel.

After the book was written, Zheng He took it and set off with a smile.

Liu Zhiheng also said, "As long as the family has a countermeasure, I will go back and talk to my old man first so that he won't worry about it."

"Okay," Li Laoer said with a smile, "When the matter is over, I will ask Fu Niu'er to steal two jars of good wine and have a drink with him. Now, I am 'sick', so I won't send it to you!"

Liu Zhiheng smiled and cursed, didn't care, waved his hand and shook his generous shoulders and left.

The weather is hot, and the cicadas on the trees are lazy and no longer sing without straining their necks.

The willow tree at the door of the Hubu Yamen has its branches hanging listlessly, and two equally listless clerks are leaning on it below.

When Zheng He got off the carriage, the two of them looked over and greeted each other with smiles.

“Hey, why is little brother Zheng here? I didn’t see my uncle coming today!”

“Yes, Brother Zheng saw that we were working too hard, so he sent us food to relieve the heat?”

The two of them were half joking and half hoping. After all, among the official families, the Li family was the most generous.

Whenever Mr. Li comes on a business trip and brings something to relieve the heat at home, everyone can benefit from it.

He didn't want to, but Zheng He waved his hand, "I'm sorry, brothers. I will bring you something good next time. I'm in an emergency this time. Our uncle is sick and he sent me to ask for leave."

"Hey, what's going on? Is it serious?" The clerk asked with surprise and concern.

Zheng He shook his head and replied, "The weather is too hot. Our uncle has been taking care of the refugees outside the city all day, so he collapsed!"

After chatting for a few words, he hurried in.

The Department of Hubu is a large yamen, with people coming and going, and small matters such as asking for leave are not handled personally by important ministers such as the Minister or the Minister.

So, Zheng He handed the leave application form to a doctor who was responsible for attendance and left.

He rushed to the Libu Yamen and did the same thing.

The difference is that because the person is unfamiliar, the clerk stuffed a dime of silver into the door...

In this way, Li Laoer and Jia An put aside their problems and stopped caring about the refugees, and such a big thing was easily accomplished!

Outside Xindu City, the thatched shacks were bustling with activity, and porridge was boiling in big iron pots. The refugees were holding pottery bowls and chatting together, instead of stretching their necks and looking into the hut.

The village chief only wore a coarse cloth gown, a straw hat on his head, and a cloth hanging around his neck, which he pulled up from time to time to wipe the sweat.

Occasionally, when villagers came to ask questions, he would shout a few words.

Screaming until his voice was dry and hoarse. Just when he was looking for a place to drink a few sips of water, Zheng Wu arrived with a few boys.

“Grandpa, the village chief, my uncle has given orders.”

Zheng Wu held the old village chief's arm, found a quiet place and talked carefully for a long time.

The old village chief slapped his thigh excitedly and cursed at the top of his voice, "That's it, everyone is going to be so angry. If the master hadn't given the order, we would have wanted to go home and stop serving these white-eyed wolves!"

Having said that, he couldn't wait a moment, so he turned around and went to find the villagers.

“Everyone, put down your work and quickly pack up all the things we brought home. Let’s go home!”

go home?

All the villagers were puzzled, and someone asked, "Uncle village chief, are we done here? Are we going to go home and not come back again?"

The village chief nodded heavily, waved his pipe and pot, and shouted, "Originally, this job belongs to my uncle. We came here just to help. We didn't get a penny in wages and even gave him a lot of good things.

“Now my uncle and the fifth young master are both tired and sick, and no one is grateful. So, we won’t do it anymore! We will go home and go to our fields when we have the strength, and we won’t have to serve anyone anymore!”

The villagers’ eyes widened when they heard it, and they all understood.

“Okay, go home, go home quickly!”

"Yeah, I've long been homesick. It's so close, and I don't even have time to go back and take a look."

“That’s right, we don’t get paid, so why bother running here?”

As he spoke, everyone dispersed and began to stir.

Wood barrels filled with water, wooden carriages filled with barrels, pots and pans, tables, chairs and even pots for cooking porridge were all brought down.

As for the half-cooked porridge in the pot, pour it on the linoleum removed from the shed!

In short, whatever the village brings, regardless of whether it is used or idle, take it all away!

The hundreds of wounded soldiers didn't know what was going on, so they came forward to ask.

The village chief took them back to the village directly.

There is no shortage of food for them, and it would be better to have more people to protect their homeland...

The refugees didn’t know what was going on at first, but they finally came to their senses when they discovered that the people and soldiers in Broken Gold Beach were about to retreat.

Someone asked loudly, "Where are you going? No more porridge, we haven't eaten yet!"

The man from Broken Gold Beach was also a good talker, so he fought back at that time.

“We are not your parents, we don’t care whether you eat or not! Aren’t you amazing? You talk about the world with your mouth shut, then just take care of your own stomach!”

The refugees became extremely anxious when they saw that the temporary camp was quickly becoming empty.

They got together and blocked the carriage's way, and some even tried to **** things away!

“No, you can’t leave! What will we do if you leave?”

"Yes, weren't you brought here by that high-ranking official named Li? You follow the court's orders to take care of us, you can't just abandon us!"

"Yes, yes! If you dare to leave, we will sue the Yamen!"
