The officials broke into the county hall in a chaotic manner, and saw the new county magistrate Sun Chuanting sitting in the center, while the county magistrate, the master bookkeeper, and the canon history were collectively absent. Next to the huge public hall bookcase, there is also a side seat, and there is a young man with a hippie smiling face, who must be the new Master You.

Under the bookcase, in addition to these officials, there are also many people standing, all of whom are clerks, account offices, porters and other officials of the county government, and there are dozens of people. Coupled with the officials, there were more than 100 people, and the lobby was packed.

Although Long Si was arrogant and domineering in front of the people, when he saw the magistrate, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he knelt down and kowtowed first, and shouted in his mouth: "I've seen the magistrate!" And all the servants also saluted after him.

"Who are you?" Sun Chuanting asked majestically.

"Lord Yuzhi County, the villain is the head of the fishing squad Long Si." Long Si flattered and said, "These people are all officials, all of them are honest and obedient, how many years have they worked in the county government, and they have never made a mistake..."

"Long Si, you should have read the master's notice, right?" Zhu Youzhen suddenly interrupted him with a smile, "The lord wants to re-elect the officials and officials of the county government, no matter what position you held in the past, it will not count from now on." As for whether you can be the leader of the team in the future, it depends on whether you have the ability to listen to the master's orders. ”

Although Long Si was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to offend this little master, so he had to smile and say, "The villain must obey the orders of the county lord." ”

"I didn't expect a small county government to raise so many people, and it is almost impossible to stand here." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, "It seems that we have to move to the street for selection." I'm going to ask you to move this bookcase out so that the master can use it. ”

In fact, Long Si had already made arrangements, if any ordinary people wanted to enter the county government, he would send someone to stop him, so naturally no one would compete with him for a job.

But he didn't expect Sun Chuanting to suddenly go to the street, the market was full of people, and it was not so easy to stop it. And if Sun Chuanting saw him making small moves, it would be even more troublesome, so he was so anxious that he was sweating at that time.

Seeing that Long Si and the others were not moving, Sun Chuanting immediately sank his face and said, "Didn't you hear what Master You said?" also kept saying that he obeyed the master's orders, could it be that this table could not be carried by the county himself? ”

Long Si was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Master, let's move now!" Come here and carry the court case down the street! ”

"Wait!" Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a sneer, "You used to be the head of the hunting team?" ”

"Exactly!" Ryusi replied respectfully.

Zhu Youzhen nodded lightly and said: "The arrest squad is the most important among the three classes, and it is up to you to arrest prisoners and escort prisoners in ordinary times. As the saying goes, you need to be hard to strike iron, and those Jiangyang thieves and vicious stubborns are very strong, and they have to be more powerful than them, first of all, they have to have strength. Long Si, since you are the leader of the team, you must be extraordinary, why don't you move this table out by yourself and let the master see your methods, how about it? ”

Long Si had already scolded the eighth generation of the ancestor of this little master in his heart, but at this time, he was under the eaves and had to bow his head, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Okay, villain come and try!" ”

As he spoke, he lifted the case with all his might. But the case was made of hardwood, and it was big and heavy, and it was difficult to focus on. And although Long Si is usually like a fierce god to the people, his body and bones have long been hollowed out by wine, and his strength is not as great as that of ordinary people. He used his strength to breastfeed, and his ugly face was red, and the bookcase didn't move at all!

Zhu Youjian saw it and laughed: "With your little strength, you still want to be the head of the team?" Get out of the way! ”

As he spoke, he took a step forward, shook the sleeves of his robe, and gently pushed the bookcase with his hand. Unexpectedly, the extremely heavy bookcase was touched by his hand, and it flew forward like a fallen leaf in the wind! Long Si was caught off guard, and was slapped in the face by the bookcase, smashed with a snort, and immediately fell unconscious!

"Ah, it's a bit heavy, look at this trouble!" Zhu Youzhen pretended to regret and said, "What, don't be recruited as a servant at this level, carry him home to rest!" ”

Everyone in the lobby was terrified, and no one dared to believe that this seemingly weak little master had such divine power under his hands.

In fact, how can Zhu Youzhen know martial arts? This one just now was designed at all, but in fact, Lin Youkun, who was standing behind him, took advantage of the fact that when he shook the sleeve of his robe, he hid his palm behind the sleeve and hit it on the bookcase like electricity. It's okay for these officials to bully the common people, but they don't know anything about martial arts, so no one can see it.

Zhu Youzhen stood up with his palm, and those officials were completely dumbfounded. Originally, they also wanted to make a fuss with Long Si and give the magistrate a dismount; How do you know that Long Si "died before leaving the school", and when he came up, he was put down by Master You, and he ate this Ma Wei firmly. Therefore, no one dared to make trouble anymore, and honestly followed Sun Chuanting and Zhu Youzhen to the street.

In fact, although many ordinary people were dispersed by Long Si and others, they did not go far, and they all wanted to see how the new magistrate re-elected the officials and officials. At this time, seeing Long Si standing upright and entering, but he came out lying down, although he didn't know what was going on, he all felt very relieved, and immediately surrounded him.

This is what Zhu Youzhen wants. He immediately shouted: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, this is the new county magistrate Sun Chuanting Sun!" Below is Lord Sun's master. Jingyang County Ya selects Xu officials and officials, and now it officially begins, as long as anyone feels that the position is suitable, they can participate in the election, and Sun Daren will be admitted on the basis of merit! The first thing to do is to choose the six-room scribe! ”

As soon as his words fell, the original scribes hurriedly squeezed out and said, "The villain is waiting for the application!" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, and asked deliberately, "You also served as a scribe, right?" I don't know what the duties of these six-room scribes are, and how many people are there? ”

One of the older scribes thought that he was the oldest and familiar with the business, and no one could replace him, so he said triumphantly: "The six rooms of the county government correspond to the six departments of the imperial court." The chief of the house is responsible for the personnel and manages the county government documents; The household is responsible for collecting land endowments, managing household registration, warehouses and financial revenues and expenditures; The ceremonial room is in charge of sacrifices, examinations, county studies, and educating the people; The owner of the barracks is in charge of recruitment, and is also in charge of the post station and the three classes of servants; The Torture Chamber is in charge of the Prison; The workshop is responsible for water conservancy and engineering construction in Tuntian. There are more than 20 people in each room, and the total is more than 100 people..."

"Stop, stop!" Zhu Youzhen immediately interrupted him, and said sarcastically, "Forgive a small county town, how much business can you have?" There are more than 20 scribes in one room, so many people are crowded in the government office, I'm afraid there is no place to stand! ”

"Master You doesn't know, the affairs of a county are extremely complicated, and there are fewer people who can't be busy!" The scribe leaned on the old man and said: "And the scribes are on duty in shifts, and only half of them are usually in the county office." ”

"Oh, I see!" Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and laughed, "One person's work is done by two people, and you can also change shifts, your life is quite comfortable!" ”

He suddenly changed his face and said in a fierce voice: "You are so leisurely, but what kind of life are the common people living!" Lord Sun is here to get rid of the accumulated shortcomings and eliminate the idlers! Only four people are selected in each room of the six rooms, and the salary is five taels of silver per month. ”

As soon as these words came out, those scribes immediately turned red-eyed, and you pushed me to rush to register, without any usual Sven.

It turned out that although the officials did not have official positions, their power in the yamen was very great. Although these people were well-read in poetry and books, they did not know anything about specific matters such as money, food, punishment, and names, and did not care about it, so they delegated power to these officials.

These officials have no hope of being promoted, and their conduct is poor, so they often use the power in their hands to blatantly engage in **. Don't look at the monthly salary on the books, which is only one or two taels of silver, and it does not go from the finances, but from the "small treasury" of the county government; But the actual gray income is extremely staggering, more than 100 times more than salary.

When Zhu Youzhen announced that only four people would be selected for each room, who of these scribes didn't want to squeeze out others and sit firmly in their seats? As a result, they are scrambling to register, fearing that they will be left behind and lose their precious opportunities.

After these people had registered and were guessing how to select, Zhu Youzhen suddenly shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "Is there anyone else who wants to register?" As long as you can write, write quickly and well, you are eligible to apply! ”

When he asked, there was another commotion in the crowd, but few dared to come out to register. Because there are only a few people who can read and write, and the second is that the incident of being beaten by the government officials at noon is still fresh in my memory. If you go up to apply for a job, but the magistrate's decree is repeated, it will be a chicken and egg beating, not only will you not be able to earn a salary, but you will also offend the original gang of officials and servants, and it will be difficult to guarantee that you will not be retaliated against in the future.

Zhu Youzhen asked a few times, but when he saw that no one answered, he was also a little disappointed, so he had to retreat and want to be selected among the original scribes first. At this moment, suddenly a young man rushed out of the crowd and said resolutely: "I want to apply for a job as a scribe!" ”

All the scribes glared angrily at this person, but Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed and said, "Okay, go and register!" What is your name? ”

"Student Wang Wenbin!" The young man said with tears in his eyes, "Today, at noon, the students were beaten at the gate of the county government for no reason, and many villagers can testify!" The head of the class, Long Si, bullied the student is a poor talent, and he humiliates the students in every way, which is unbearable! That's why students want to apply for scriveners, but I want to see if I become a scrivener, then Long Si still dares to bully students! ”

"You're not right!" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, "If you have any grievances, just send a complaint to Lord Sun." This has nothing to do with whether you are a scribe or not, is it okay for the team leader to bully the common people? However, if you want to be a scribe, you have to have real talent and learning, and you can't just choose it based on a momentary whim. ”

"But it's up to Mr. to take the test!" Wang Wenbin is full of confidence.

"The main job of a scribe is copywriting, let's take the copywriting test today!" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, "I have an account book here, and whoever applies for a job, whoever can copy it quickly and can find out the mistakes in it, will be selected!" ”
