After everyone had eaten and drunk the soup, the deputy of the team went to Wang Xuezhai and said to him, "You come with me." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Wang Xuezhai didn't know what to do, so he got up and followed the deputy to the captain.

The captain said to Wang Xuezhai: "I am the captain of this team, and my surname is Luo Dan. This one is the deputy of the team, named Liang Guancheng. I am a native of Yingyang County, Henan Prefecture, and the deputy of the Liang team is from Dengfeng. It was instructed that there should be three people in each team, and in addition to the two of us, there was also a scribe, who was responsible for copying and reading all kinds of official documents, and writing and reading letters to the people in the team. Deputy Liang said that you have been cultivating and reading heirlooms, and you have been studying since you were a child, so you think you have some knowledge. I'll ask you, would you like to be a bookmaker in this team? ”

Scribes are widely available in various government yamen and even in the army, and the most common in the countryside is naturally the village calligrapher. However, this is a servant, and Wang Xuezhai's scholar, a little reluctant, and difficult to refuse, asked: "This calligrapher doesn't know what else to do except copy and write?" Again, do you have money to be a bookmaker? ”

Luo Ji smiled: "It's not just copying and writing, it's the three of them who discuss the things in the team." Deputy Liang and I both know a few big characters, and we haven't read two books, so we can't do things like copying and bookkeeping, and we need a calligrapher to do it. From now on, our team will work together and receive money and food together. In addition to the money and food they receive, the captain, the deputy and the clerk also have a little subsidy, I am 300 wen per month, and the team deputy and the clerk are 200 wen per month. ”

Liang Guancheng hurriedly added: "This is extra, so much more money than others, and it is all full money!" ”

There are 200 wen a month, which is not less, you can buy two catties of meat to eat, and you can eat more than half a month by buying rice. Wang Xuezhai thought for a while before saying: "This year's disaster, how can I pick and choose from today's field?" It's just that I don't hide it from the two of you, and I have been studying since I was a child, and I have to be promoted, how can this calligrapher also be a servant-"

Luo Ji smiled: "We said here just now, we were afraid that you would have this concern. You don't have to worry, this clerk is not a clerk. We were recruited into the Transit Mission, and the Ducao officials specifically said that none of us were officials. ”

Wang Xuezhai didn't believe it, looked at Luo Ji and said, "Is this true?" ”

"Nature is true! Du Cao officials are in charge of Cao Xian all the way, how can they coax us with lies, don't worry about this matter. ”

Wang Xuezhai sighed: "In this case, I might as well obey my fate if I am respectful!" ”

Public officials can also take the imperial examination, but they must leave their posts for three years before they can be promoted, and they cannot be incumbent. How can it be said that the public official is also an iron rice bowl, and he has money and food every month, and the Zhongjin Shi is an illusory thing, how many people can make up their minds to prepare three years in advance? And generally speaking, it is not easy to find a guarantor from a public servant's background.

Such a regulation has its own practical considerations, because many children of officials and eunuchs will become public officials if they can't get an official position, and they are also official people, have a fixed income, and can also make some benefits from time to time. If they are allowed to do the things of public officials, they can also be admitted to the Jinshi with the money and grain of the imperial court, which is obviously unfair to the ordinary people, and it is easy to form a family of eunuchs. The localities are controlled by the powerful, which the officials do not want to see.

After leaving office for three years, it is actually equivalent to becoming ordinary people, and these people can respond as civilians.

dispelled Wang Xuezhai's concerns, and the atmosphere became harmonious all of a sudden. Although Jingdong Road is the hometown of saints and has developed education, in this era, there are not many people who study in the land of Zoulu. It is not easy to have Wang Xuezhai in the team, who has read poetry and books since he was a child, Luo Ji and Liang Guan are quite concerned.

Henan Mansion is also the hometown of poetry and books, how many later generations of famous Confucianism is from here to accept apprentices to teach, coupled with the frequent flow of personnel at this time, there are many people who do business, and there are still a lot of people who know a few big characters in the folk. But if you really want to read and hyphenate and read official documents, there are very few people like that, which is also the value of Wang Xuezhai.

Seeing that the people in the team had eaten and chatted there, their complexions were obviously much better, Luo Ji took out a booklet and handed it to Wang Xuezhai along with the writing paper in front of it: "While you have time now, you go and record all the people in the team in this booklet, and copy a copy of this booklet and send it to you." By the way, tomorrow I will take you into the yamen of the transfer envoy and listen to the instructions of the waiting officer. Also, your mother wants to make a book alone, and after finishing the book, she will naturally come to meet with you, so you don't have to be anxious. ”

At this time, the rice and meat in his stomach began to be digested, and Wang Xuezhai felt that his body was warmed and he was in a very good mood. He took the booklet and paper, and asked the team next to the table about their names, places of origin, family history, and previous resumes, etc., which were much more detailed than when they took the porridge just now. If I asked again just now, it was divided into teams, and now I ask again, it is to officially compile a register for these people, and from then on, they are really the box army under the three divisions, and they are temporarily managed by the transfer envoy department.

The first paper and the following booklet must be handed in together, and after the transcription is completed, it is printed and then sent down, which is both solemn and reviewed. If there are really random names in it, it may be found out.

Yang Xue and Wang Yaochen walked side by side in this row of sheds, and saw that the victims were in a stable mood after eating and drinking, and nothing unexpected happened, so the two breathed a sigh of relief. Everything is difficult at the beginning, if nothing happens in the past few days, this time it will be considered a success.

After walking around, Wang Yaochen asked Yang Xu: "With so many people gathered together, I feel panicked when I look at it." How many people have arrived in this batch? ”

"About eight thousand people. I've already asked, and it's basically two or three people who can form a family. Alas, the victims, the old and weak, women and children in it seem to be less, this is inevitable. ”

Wang Yaochen nodded silently, on the way to escape the famine, it is a battle for a glimmer of life, and it is naturally easy for young adults to survive. This is still the Chinese have always emphasized respecting the old and loving the young, otherwise there would not even be this scene.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Wang Yaochen said to Yang: "It's not early, it's time to arrange for someone to take these victims to their place of residence." It must be arranged, leaving one by one, and must not rise up and cause trouble. ”

"Du Cao has instructed, there are arrangements for how to do it step by step, as long as it comes as expected."

Today's situation, Xu Ping had conducted many rehearsals before leaving, and prepared various plans for the situation encountered, and the transfer envoy had made all preparations. It is necessary to have a plan before doing things, to do things according to the plan when doing things, and to have a summary after the end of things, which is the principle that Xu Ping has always adhered to. This principle is very simple, but if you can do it seriously and persistently, it is much more reliable than relying on a wit of inspiration when the time comes.
