Chapter 167 Reading Ten Lines at a Glance, Never Forgetting
Su Ying opened the door.
"Ma'am, Manager Tian and his men dug up something when they were laying the foundation."
Su Yingmei's heart skipped a beat, wondering if they had dug up someone else's coffin again. "Let's go and take a look."
When Su Ying rushed back, Tian Mu and his men had already carried out everything from the field.
"My lady is here."
Su Ying looked at the boxes that had been dug out and couldn't help wondering, "Were these all dug out from the ground?"
"Yes, there are more underneath."
Su Ying looked into the pit and saw several people digging hard inside.
"Everyone step back, I'll go see what's inside." Su Ying took out a cloth from her body, covered her mouth and nose, and slowly walked to the boxes.
Because it had been buried underground for too long, the surface of the box had been corroded, and when you got close to it you could smell the earthy smell of corroded wood.
She picked up a sickle, cut off the lock on the box, and slowly opened the box.
Everyone looked at the box curiously, perhaps hoping that it contained gold, silver and jewelry. However, the result was bound to disappoint them, as what they saw were neatly stacked books.
Su Ying picked up a book and opened it to take a look. She really couldn't understand the obscure language in it.
Then she opened the other boxes, all of which were filled with books. This result disappointed many people present, because in this place, these books were the least valuable.
But Su Ying didn't think so. She didn't know who buried these books in this place, but since they had already dug them out, she would keep them for the time being.
"No. 10, go to Tiger Camp and ask them to bring a few vehicles over to bring these boxes back to me."
"Yes, ma'am."
What Su Ying didn't expect was that there were as many as thirty or forty boxes dug out.
She really found it hard to imagine how an exile could bring so many books to this damn place.
There were too many boxes, so they were sent over to be placed, and Su Ying followed them back.
When they returned to the yard, everyone was shocked to see Su Ying pulling back so many boxes at once.
"Chu Yun, come down." Su Ying shouted upstairs from the yard.
Chu Yun heard the noise and walked out of the house. He was very surprised to see the boxes all over the yard.
He walked downstairs to the boxes and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Su Ying opened the box beside her, "It's all books."
Chu Yun was shocked. He picked up the books in the box and started flipping through them. The more he looked, the more shocked he became, as if he couldn't believe it. He opened the boxes one by one. The books in some boxes were corroded, but most of them were still readable.
"I didn't expect to see these books in this place. It's really..." It's such a surprise.
For so long, the expression on Chu Yun's face has always been indifferent, as if Chu Yun was humble and polite to everyone except Xiao Jin, but in fact he was not sincere and would keep a certain distance. It was rare to see him show a happy expression.
"What are these books?"
Chu Yun's eyes were filled with surprise as he said, "Many of these are rare and precious books. I thought some of them had been lost long ago, but I didn't expect to see them here."
Su Ying had no interest in studying these obscure and rare books. Seeing that Chu Yun liked them, she let him arrange the books on his own.
Chu Yun naturally agreed.
"Have you finished writing the legal code I asked you to write before?"
Chu Yun held the solitary copy and nodded, saying, "I've finished writing it. I'll go give it to Madam right away."
Su Ying's expression paused slightly. This was the first time this boy called her Madam.
Chu Yun went upstairs and took down some booklets. "These are just rough outlines. There are many more detailed ones that cannot be completed in a short time, but I will further improve them."
Su Ying nodded, "Okay."
She took the booklet into the house and slowly looked through it.
She had told Chu Yun before that it would be best to use easy-to-understand words when writing the first version. After all, most of the people in the Tiger Camp were uneducated, and they were afraid that they would not understand if the awkward words were used.
Su Ying had just read half of it when Xiao Jin and the others arrived.
The light in the room was blocked by a tall figure. Su Ying looked up and saw Xiao Jin walking in.
"What are you looking at?"
"You should also take a look at the laws and regulations written by Chu Yun." Su Ying handed the other booklets to him. Her eyes hurt from reading so many words.
Xiao Jin took the booklet and started flipping through it.
Su Ying found that he flipped the pages very quickly. Often, before she finished reading one page, he had already read several pages. This made her feel that he was just skimming through the pages without paying attention.
He snatched the booklet from his hand and asked, "Have you read all of it?"
Xiao Jin nodded inexplicably, "I saw it."
Su Ying frowned, "I don't believe it."
Xiao Jin chuckled, "You ask."
Su Ying looked at the content he had just read with doubt, "What does Article 67 say?"
"Those who break into houses and steal should be sentenced to five to ten years in prison."
Su Ying deliberately flipped to the front, "Article 50."
"Whoever rapes a woman shall be punished with thirty lashes and three years' imprisonment."
Su Ying asked several more questions, and Xiao Jin could answer them all word for word. Now she had to believe that he had really read it.
Good guy, not only can he read ten lines at a glance, but he can also remember them. So Su Ying threw the booklet to him and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. If you have any questions, just tell Chu Yun."
Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't want to watch it anymore?"
"I'll go back and take a closer look." She could already smell the aroma of braised pork coming from the kitchen. She decided to wait until she was full before talking about anything.
Xiao Jin shook his head helplessly as he watched her leave, then picked up the booklet on the table and continued flipping through it.
The next morning, Mengzi and two middle-aged men found Su Ying.
"Why is Uncle Meng here so early in the morning?"
Mengzi smiled and said, "Your Aunt Meng made some rice cakes early in the morning and asked me to bring some to you. I heard that you have two children. These rice cakes are sweet, just what the children like."
"Aunt Meng, you've really taken a lot of trouble." Su Ying invited them into the house.
Bai Shuang quickly brought up the boiled hot water.
Mengzi took a sip of water and said straight to the point, "I came here today to tell Madam Su that our North District has agreed to merge with the East District."
Su Ying guessed that Mengzi and the others would eventually agree, but she didn't expect them to agree so quickly.
"It just so happens that we have already written out the booklet of rules and regulations yesterday. Uncles, please take a look at it." Su Ying handed the booklet to them.
After taking the booklet and reading it, a few people showed approval on their faces. If these systems are implemented, they believe that Tiger Camp will definitely get better and better.
After roughly reading the booklet, Mengzi closed it and said, "Madam Su, can you tell me in detail how this great fusion is to be achieved?"
