Chapter 390: Looking for Manpower

"What can we do? He's stirring up trouble in Rong County, and he hasn't even reached out to us. What can we do to him..."

County Magistrate Hu suddenly stopped and slapped himself in the face.

Back then, someone gave me a handle, but I let it go because I thought it was too much trouble! Now I want to take action, but I can't find a reason.

"If there are no conditions, let's create them!" Su Ying said softly.

"?" County Magistrate Hu stared at Su Ying blankly, "Aying, what do you mean by that?"

"Has the caravan from the Fu family arrived?" Su Ying asked.

"Yes, it just arrived two days ago. A lot of brown sugar was needed this time, so Ade and the others are rushing to make it." County Magistrate Hu replied.

"Oh, by the way, they want all the mung bean vermicelli from your Huanggou Village, the more the better. It's great, it doesn't have to worry about being bumpy or spoiling!"

"Well, discuss with the caravan and send a few people to Rong County to purchase goods." Su Ying pondered.

"Going to Rong County? Aren't there notices prohibiting us from going? Other things are easy to deal with, but if we hurt their people, how are we going to explain to the Fu family? The Fu family is behind..."

Magistrate Hu pointed to the sky.

"Isn't this perfect? ​​The hole is too small, so it won't hurt! The abscess won't break, so the pus can't be squeezed out!" Su Ying sneered.

Fulu and Fuxi looked at each other silently without saying a word. They didn't treat us as outsiders at all, so we didn't hear anything.

I silently lit a candle for Wang Duanfang in my heart.

"Aying, what are you going to do when the caravan arrives?" County Magistrate Hu was worried.

"The more ostentatious and high-profile the caravan is, the better. How could Wang Duanfang let go of such a fat sheep so easily?" Su Ying smiled maliciously.

"You, you are cheating people, aren't you? What if someone dies?" County Magistrate Hu was worried.

Mr. Fu is a powerful family man, and it is unkind of him to try to cheat him.

"Hehe, it's not Mr. Fu's, so I don't need it. His is just right and convenient for me!" Su Ying said with a laugh.

"Aying, how about changing to my Hu family's..." County Magistrate Hu didn't want to ruin his son's future.

"Your Hu family is not qualified!" Su Ying smiled and shook her head.

"Just tell the caravan manager directly, he will know what to do!

Also, inform the Recorder and Military Officer, Lord Wang, that the Rong County Magistrate has detained the merchant caravan under the Ministry of the Imperial Household and the Ministry of Market without cause, and have the Sima dispatch troops to rescue them."

"Ah? Oh!" County Magistrate Hu was confused.

Before she could fully grasp what he meant, Su Ying stood up and walked out.

"Alright, Lord Hu, please make arrangements as soon as possible and try to get Rong County done within the next two days."

"Aying, where are you going?" County Magistrate Hu chased out, but saw that Su Ying did not go out.

"I have something to ask Mrs. Hu!" Su Ying had turned and walked into Mrs. Hu's meeting room.

"Hey, I haven't finished yet..." County Magistrate Hu wanted to say something.

"Sir, Lord Su's idea is good!" Fulu shook his head secretly, but since he was an aide, he still did his duty and gave advice.

"Will it cause too much trouble if we alert the provincial government and mobilize troops? If the imperial court knows, everyone will be in trouble!" County Magistrate Hu hesitated.

"Sir, if you delay making a decision any longer, Rong County will be in big trouble sooner or later.

It doesn't matter whether he's dead or alive; what matters is that Wu County must not decline because of him!" Fulu said bluntly.

This Lord Hu is really lucky. He has met many noble people in his life, including his wife, son, Su family, governor, military recorder, and Lin County Magistrate...

"Oh, are you done with your work, busy man? You finally come to me?" Mrs. Hu joked when she saw Su Ying come in.

"I was originally looking for you, and Lord Hu's place was just on the way!" Su Ying sat down with a smile.

"What's the matter? Why do you come here in person?" asked Mrs. Hu.

"Find me some help: two wet nurses, two able-bodied stewards, one male and one female, and two more to chop wood, make the fire, and do the odd jobs."

"You need so many at once? Madam Yang gave birth?" Madam Hu heard that two wet nurses were needed.

"Well, a boy and a girl are twins, so one wet nurse is not enough." Su Ying nodded.

"There are many chores at home. The male steward takes care of the outside affairs, while the female steward takes care of the affairs inside the house."

"Dragon and phoenix twins?" Madam Hu envied. "Oh my God, Madam Yang is so blessed to have a son and a daughter!"

"The Yang family has a tradition of having twins!" Su Ying explained, "I'm too busy at home to handle it, so I'm asking Madam for help in finding someone else."

"Oh, you mentioned it so suddenly. It's not easy to find a wet nurse right now. I have to ask around.

But I have a ready-made steward, I wonder if you mind?" Mrs. Hu patted Su Ying's hand and said kindly.

"Who are you talking about, madam?" Su Ying was curious.

Mrs. Hu smiled and picked up the teacup, smiling at Mother Huang beside her, "Mother Huang's sister and brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Su Ying looked at Mother Huang, who always followed Mrs. Hu. She was like an invisible person, never saying much and almost ignoring her existence.

Mother Huang smiled humbly at Su Ying.

"Can I meet someone?" Su Ying asked.

It seems that Huang's mother is no more than 40 years old, and her sister should be around 40 years old. She should be in her prime and have rich experience.

"Go and call your sister and brother-in-law! Let Lord Su see them!" Mrs. Hu said to Mother Huang.

"Yes!" Mother Huang went out.

"Her sister's child is Ah Fu, Erlang's personal servant! If he follows you and is brought back to Chang'an, it will be a great opportunity for their family to be reunited."

It was for this reason that Mrs. Hu recommended Xiao Huang's mother.

Su Ying smiled but didn't say anything. She couldn't make a decision until she met the person.

"By this time next year, you should be in Chang'an, right?" Mrs. Hu said with some emotion.

In July and August last year, a family of ragged fugitives came to Wu County. In just one year, they not only turned their lives around but also got promoted. This trip to Lingnan was like a spiritual practice.

"Almost!" Su Ying pointed at the two little girls.

“They have been clamoring to ride on a big ship and see the ocean, and with a large group of children and women, we should set off in late August or early September.

I'll be gone for two or three months, just in time to return to Beijing for the New Year! Didn't you say last time that my wife would come with me?"

"Okay, it's a good opportunity to go see Dalang and Erlang! And to see the Imperial College, as a person from Lingnan, I can also broaden my horizons!" Mrs. Hu said with a smile.

"Madam!" Mrs. Huang's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

Following Mother Huang came in, a couple came in. They were younger than Mother Huang, about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old.

Xiao Huang's mother is more extroverted and smiling, while her husband is like Pei Sanlang and doesn't talk much.

The two of them were clean and tidy. When they saw Su Ying, they lowered their eyelids slightly and stepped forward to salute, "Greetings, Master Su!"

"Did Mrs. Huang tell you the reason?" Su Ying asked.

"Replying to Lord Su, I have informed you!" Xiao Huang's mother replied.

"Are you willing to work in my Huanggou Village? Let's sign a contract and return to Chang'an in August or September next year. You can choose to work in August or September next year, and the wages will be paid according to the Hu family's salary.

You can also sign a five-year contract and go with us to Chang'an, and be paid according to the wages in the capital. You can discuss it and make a decision later."

Su Ying took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

The couple looked at each other with joy in their eyes, "Sir, we sign for five years!"
