Xu Ping put down the paper in his hand and rubbed his eyes.

It was another leap year, and it was the year when local officials had to peel off their skin. Every leap year, local governments would give the court a leap year map, including geographical household registration and taxation and registration. Last time, Xu Ping had just arrived, and most of his predecessors had already done it. The place in Yongzhou was not much changed, and there were also public officials to help him, so the workload was not large. This time it was different. Yongzhou had turned upside down, and Xu Ping also had both Yongzhou and sugar business, and almost all the books and registrations had to be started again. Xu Ping only regretted that he had no clone skills and wanted another person to help with these things.

On the desk next to him, Duan Yunjie was lying there, and two public officials were concentrating on drawing pictures.

Many maps of this era are freehand, which is good enough to express the general direction. You cannot do detailed data analysis. After all, Xu Ping was educated in his previous life. Although he could not remember geography knowledge completely, there is a basis for good or bad. He understands the meaning of scale and legends, and remembers the concept of contours. Of course, he would not be satisfied with freehand maps. Originally, this kind of map was just convenient to use, but he was just a little bitched about burning bags. Shi Quanbin was stunned when he came and reported to him using various charts before leaving. He was stunned. When he left, he packed a lot of information and said that he would take it back for the official to take it.

As a result, the imperial decree came down soon and asked Yongzhou to use the leap year chart according to the last legend, which made Xu Ping a bad move. Don’t show off when doing things, as if you pretend to be lightning. Xu Ping knew it was too late to come over.

When the public officials under him gathered together to draw pictures and make tables, they could not learn it in a moment, and they were so busy that they were busy. Fortunately, most of the manpower of sugar business came from Fujian, and there were many people who could read, and many jobs were divided, otherwise they would not be able to be handed over on time no matter what.

Duan Yunjie participated by chance. Her understanding was far beyond others and soon became indispensable. Xu Ping felt embarrassed. She was a non-staff member, but she was entangled here every day and had no normal salary. She only barely made up for some rewards.

He stretched his arms and stood up. Xu Ping walked to the door and saw that there were dark clouds outside. The sun was hiding where it was, and the sky and the earth were dark.

There was no wind, and the outside of the room was like a steamer, with hot air coming to my face, entangled with the cold air in the room on Xu Ping, and the taste was indescribable.

"It's going to rain heavily again!"

Xu Ping sighed, fortunately the sugar-boiling season is over, and the rice has been planted, so it can't delay anything.

Duan Yunjie looked up and looked outside, responding casually: "Yes, it's time for rainy season."

After saying that, he still buried his head in drawing pictures.

In April of the ninth year of Tiansheng, nothing happened between China and abroad, everything was as usual. Yongzhou was covered with dark clouds, and it was rainy season.

The eunuch hotel opposite Zuojiang, in the small pavilion on the second floor.

Liu Dahu kept slapping the wind with his open clothes, looking at the depths of the pavilion with a dark face.

There was originally a folding screen there, but it had been put away at this time. Behind the screen was a small bed with a man and a woman on it.

The man's shirt was scattered, revealing his strong and dark chest, and his whole body seemed to be washed, and he was sweating profusely.

Next to it is a woman in her twenties, with a bit of beauty. Her hair is scattered and her clothes are not tidy. Her pink shirt and skirt are full of fine skin and white flesh, revealing a bit of beauty.

The pavilion opened the window towards Zuojiang, but the wind had stopped. The air seemed to solidify, so dull that it made people breathless. The pavilion was full of powdery smell, and there was a strange smell mixed together, which made people feel upset.

After calming down, Liu Dahu said to Tian Er on the couch: "Second brother, our account will be cleared from now on."

"I'm clear, I'm going to give you a hundred quotations, just treat it as my second brother's reward." Liu Er smiled evilly, "This time, you got a bargain for Liu Da. It's all a loss for Madam Qiu to be very kind, and she won't bother with you if you suffer any loss."

Mrs. Qiu said lazily: "What are you taking advantage of? Since I follow him, I can tell you clearly. I can only blame myself for being incompetent and blind."

"You are not married to him with three media and six certificates. It's still time to regret it now. Although I, Tian Er, have not grown up, there are still three thatched houses across the river. I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I never lack change. It's better to go back to Yun with me, and I'm following Liu Da, and I have to show up here."

As Tian Er said, he reached out to tease Niangzi Qiu.

Madam Qiu covered her clothes and slid away from Tian Er in no trace. She stood up and said, "In Taiping Village, you are not as good as Liu Da. I followed Liu Da. No matter how humble I am, no one would bully me. If I follow someone like you, I will be swallowed up by someone's skin and my bones will not be spit out."

After hearing Daqi, Tian Er looked at Liu Dahu sitting by the table and shook his head: "Just this one? The lady is really joking. Which is better than me?"

Mrs. Qiu sat down next to Liu Dahu, poured a cup of tea and drank it, and said to Tian Er: "So you don't know? Liu Dahu has a sister who works in the Sugar Service and has to appreciate it for several officials under him. In Taiping Village, who dares not give face to the Superior Office?"

"He? Is there a sister in the Tiju Sect?" Tian Er seemed to have heard a huge joke. "How could he get involved with Tiju Sect? How could he get into this way? Do you make jokes to tease me? Besides, he is a barbarian, even if he has a sister, how could he get into the Tiju Sect? Where is the Tiju Sect!"

Madam Qiu sighed: "It's because Liu Dabing has gone on for a long time. He offended this sister and refused to take care of her. Alas, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this kind of business here."

Tian Er looked at Miss Qiu, then at Liu Dahu, and suddenly felt a little bit of trust. Besides, due to his family affection, with Liu Dahu's temperament, he could sell his own father, and it would be no big deal to turn his eyes into a grudge. Even Miss Qiu would rather be Liu Dahu's mistress than marry him, because he was afraid that he would be sold at any time.

After thinking for a while, Tian Er asked Madam Qiu: "Why are you talking to me about this? I took care of your business by Liu Da and you. Could it be that I would use the title of Tijuan to cheat me?"

Liu Dahu reached out and wiped his chest with sweat, and said in a muffled voice: "Women's mouth cannot be idle, so don't worry, second brother. I, Liu Dahu, also has a reputation and can't do that kind of thing. It's cloudy outside, and it may rain at any time. Since the account is over, second brother will go back."

Seeing that Liu Dahu was speaking seriously, Tian Er felt relieved. No matter how unbearable Liu Dahu was, he was all his own family. He had never heard of him attacking heroes in the world, of course, it was mainly because he did not dare. A barbarian who came out of the mountain was helpless and dared to provoke them who had traveled all over the country after eating leopards.

Taiping Village is developing rapidly, and not only horse gang merchants gathered here, but also idle men like Tian Er who cause trouble everywhere. The emerging local rules have not been established and the management is not strict, which is most suitable for them to scramble for the waters.

People like Tian Er are most afraid of dealing with the government. I heard that Liu Dahu also has a background, so I couldn't help feeling guilty and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong early.

Standing up and tidying his clothes, Tian Er said to Madam Qiu: "If you have no other instructions, you will say goodbye."

Mrs. Qiu just drank tea, frowned slightly, as if she didn't hear it.

Tian Er shook his head and walked out.

When I arrived at the door of the pavilion, I suddenly heard Madam Qiu behind me say, "Brother Tian, ​​I have a wealth here, which is within my mind. Are you interested?"

Tian Er took one foot that had already stepped out of the door and did not turn around, and said in a deep voice: "What we have been thinking about day and night is just the word "wealth and honor, how can we not take it? I might as well explain it clearly."

"The second brother came over and sat down and said."

Tian Er thought for a while before turning around and sat down at the table.

Liu Dahu was already impatient when he saw Tian Er come back to sit down, and said to Madam Qiu dissatisfiedly: "Why did you call this fool again? Wasn't it enough just now?"

Madam Qiu ignored him and just drank tea, her eyes drifting.

Tian Er couldn't help but ask, "What kind of wealth, please tell me clearly, my wife."

Only then did Liu Dahu understand that it was a way to make money. He felt excited and grabbed Niangzi Qiu's hand: "Madam, as the saying goes, couples have a hundred days of kindness. Why don't you tell me such a good thing? Just tell an outsider that you don't want to share money from outside?"

Niangzi Qiu said, "You can't do this alone."

Tian Er laughed and said, "Liu Da, you don't know anything about yourself, and you don't look at your body and look like a tuberculosis. What can you do? No matter how much money Madam Qiu makes, what's the use of telling you?"

After saying that, he smiled at Madam Qiu and said, "It's different if I'm here! As long as Madam has a way, the money will come to our hands!"

Mrs. Qiu put down the teacup in her hand and sighed: "Everyone loves money, but this matter is a bit risky. You have to think about it."

"No risk in anything you do! A few days ago, Old Tan, who sells vegetables on the street, drowned when he took a wrong step by step by the river. Wuda, who sells cakes, choked to death with a mouthful of tea at the tea stall! He would prevent choking when eating and walking and falling. He would inevitably be struck by God by lightning! What's more, he would try to fight for wealth!"

Tian Er is even more timid than his closest relatives. No risk is a big deal in his eyes. He said this with a bead of saying it. Liu Dahu next to him nodded repeatedly and agreed.

Madam Qiu raised her head and looked at the two of them slowly and said, "You two have thought about it. Although this matter cannot be violated by the official, the people who are required to do it are neat and clear-headed!"

Tian Er laughed: "My wife doesn't care about a woman. If we are still afraid, wouldn't we be laughed at by others? As long as we don't go to the official position, I, Tian Er, will also scrape two taels of oil from him! My wife said that I, Tian Er, also took the knife mountain oil pot!"

Madam Qiu nodded and turned to look at Liu Dahu.

Liu Dahu hesitated a little: "Can we both want to grab it? I can't make any profit if I start to do it. I can't do it without doing it, but I can do it without doing it."

Tian Er cursed: "Are you a man? You are so stupid as a pig, you have to use your brain with others! You have two arms and two legs, why are you afraid of others? If you want me to tell me, Mrs. Qiu is provoking men here, is it because you are not responsible for it in bed?"

This kind of thing is done, and it always makes people feel ashamed. When Madam Qiu heard Tian Er’s words, her face turned red and said to Liu Dahu: “It’s not that you want to fight and kill, just bluff.”

Liu Dahu was skeptical: "My wife, please tell me clearly."

"Before you two came in, I had two guests here-"

Speaking of this, Liu Dahu suddenly interrupted: "Would you like to answer two guests at a time?"

Madam Qiu finally got embarrassed and annoyed: "If you don't want to listen, you can go out! I can't find a man here. Don't mess around here and disturb us good things!"

After thinking about it, it was still Qian Qin. Liu Dahu stuttered: "Okay, I won't ask anymore, just say it."

"Those two customers have also been here before. They are merchants who come here from Qinzhou to purchase goods. According to their words, most of the goods sold are prohibited by the government here. In the past, they only thought they were small businesses, and I didn't take it to heart. Who knew that this time I had done a big deal, and the bags were full of gold and silver, and there was a lot of oil and water. If you are interested, cut a piece of fat from them!"
