Chapter 193: To the Officer
Yang Zeshi has nothing to say about Li Yan's family, whether it is from his awareness of history in his previous life, or from the recognition of the Dafang Empire in this life, he didn't expect that the former prince would live this kind of life, and the little princess was so open, she was a wild girl!
Shaking his head, Yang Ze went to the county office, because the previous county magistrate was dead, and because he was a liuguan, he didn't bring his family when he took office, so there was no one else in the county office, and there was no way to talk about the handover, just after a while, he went to the state to meet the assassin history, go to report, and get to know the assassin history, and it was okay, and there was nothing else.
Yang Ze found the big seal of the county order from the dusty main hall case, wiped it clean, patted the shocked wood, and ordered the promotion of the hall, he was about to exercise the authority of the county order.
It is very convenient to ascend to the hall in Zhenxi County, Cheng dΓΉ is extremely simple, Hao Weifeng, who was helping to move things outside, trotted into the hall, went to the next stop in the hall, and looked at Yang Ze with a blank eye, even if it is over, it is as simple as that, if you can find a simpler promotion process than this, it means that Yang Ze has become a bare pole county order!
Yang Ze looked at Hao Weifeng from above, and Hao Weifeng also looked at him, the two stared at each other for a long time. Yang Zeqi said: "Why are you the only one who comes, aren't you the county lieutenant, what about the county magistrate?" β
Hao Weifeng immediately said: "If you go back to the county lord, there used to be a county lord in our county, and after the previous county lord died of illness, he ran away, so he is the deputy county lord." β
Yang Ze sighed, and said, "What about the head catcher?" There are a few headcatchers in this county, why don't they come? β
"Because there is no one, the head of the recruitment is to pay for work and food, and the former county lord wants to save money, so he did not recruit the head of the arrester, and he is also represented by the lowly position!" Hao Weifeng replied again.
Yang Ze was taken aback, got up from his chair, and said hurriedly: "What about the scribe." And the catcher, and the ...... It won't all be you, right? β
Hao Weifeng nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, they are all lowly and alone, and there is no one else!" β
"What are the men outside who follow you out of the city for?" Yang Ze was surprised, and couldn't help but raise his voice and ask.
"They are all helpers, and they don't have to pay for their work and food, and when the county goes out to collect taxes, they are called. After the tax is levied, they give them some hard-earned money, and usually let them earn their own living, but they can't be taxed for a while, so everyone is having a hard time. By the way, last time, the former county took everyone to the grassland to collect taxes, but they didn't collect anything, and after coming back, the former county zun died of illness, so I still owe everyone hard money, or the county will respect you. Helped to pay? Hao Weifeng asked cautiously, there were already rats running in the county's warehouse, there was not a penny, and there was not a grain of grain. If you want to pay for the food of those idle workers, Yang Ze has to pay out of his own pocket.
Yang Ze listened, was stunned for a long time, and said angrily: "Hurry up." I'm just a subordinate like you! Annoyed in my heart, I sat down on the chair!
I heard a click, and the chair was not strong. He was scattered by him! Hao Weifeng shouted: "Be careful, that chair is what it looks like!" He trotted forward and helped Yang Ze up from the ground.
Yang Ze's buttocks hurt, and he complained bitterly in his heart, this Zhenxi County is really a good place, it has reached the point of doing nothing, there is nothing to do, even the chair where the county order sits is just a decoration!
Yang Ze said angrily: "Go, find a better chair!" Also, tell everyone outside to come in, and all come in to arrange for their own officials! β
The people who were moving things outside listened, and they all ran in, standing in two rows in a chaotic manner, all looking at Yang Ze who was standing behind the big case with their faces raised, waiting for the county magistrate to speak!
Hao Weifeng ran out with a bump, but he didn't find a good chair, so he had to move a high bench back and put it behind Yang Ze's buttocks, and Yang Ze had no choice but to sit down!
There was another shocking sound, and Yang Ze said: "The official position in this county is vacant, and the official plans to promote a group of people to be officials first, you don't have any opinions!" β
What can be the opinion of this, the people in the hall are happy, with an official position, you can have a good fortune, you can support your family, and you can be majestic and majestic when you wear official uniforms, this kind of good thing, who can not want it!
Yang Ze said: "Fu Bingrong, this official appointed you as the county commander of this county!" β
Fu Bingrong was overjoyed, and stepped forward and shouted: "Listen to the order, thank Master for promotion!" β
Tan Zhengwen's eyes lit up, the senior brother has become an official, it's his turn, some time ago, he prepared several pieces of cloth, the kind of satin specially used to make official clothes, it is enough to make a few bodies, it can be regarded as usable!
Yang Ze said again: "Tan Zhengwen, this official appointed you as the head of the county!" β
Tan Zhengwen was overjoyed, he finally became an official, and he was still the lord of a county, and he was busy saying: "Master, do you want to write an official document of appointment now, and the apprentice will send it to the state for you to find Lord Assassin Shi to file and record!" β
"Don't worry, it's not too late to talk about this tomorrow!" Yang Ze said again: "Hao Weifeng, you are still the county lieutenant of this county...... After thinking about it, he didn't give anyone any benefits, and he didn't give him a promotion, so he added: "The money you owe before will be settled for you, and you will be rewarded with ten yuan as a reward for defending the county during this time!" β
Hao Weifeng is overjoyed, he can make up for what he owes him, this is already thankful, and there is a reward, this is an unexpected joy!
Yang said: "Yan Chenghou, you are the history of the county, and you also serve as the treasurer and householder, you have a heavy responsibility, and you should be diligent and public!" β
Yan Chenghou was also overjoyed, and stepped forward to thank Yang Ze and show his loyalty.
Yang Ze glanced at Mugen again, this kid is too young to be an official, but everyone else has an official, don't give him a job, I'm afraid that this kid will complain in the future, so he said: "Mugen, don't you want to be the head catcher, now this official will be appointed as the head catcher of the county, listen to the orders of the county lieutenant!" β
Mu Gen jumped three feet high, he pointed to those big men in tattered clothes, and said, "Are they under my control?" Let them all be caught quickly! β
Hao Weifeng said hurriedly: "Don't be, just let them be helpers, if you let them be fast catchers, they will have to pay the full amount of labor and food, so many people have to spend at least twenty yuan a month, such a large amount of money, our county can't afford it!" β
Those ragged men were quite excited, but when they heard Hao Weifeng call him like this, their faces showed a look of disappointment, it is not easy to make a living in the northwest, if they can have a regular job and a stable income, it is okay for them to work hard, but unfortunately, even if they want to sell their lives, others have no money to buy it!
Yang Ze glanced at the ragged men, checked the number of people, estimated the number of people to be about fifty, he said: "How can there be so many people, there are not so many people outside the city just now!" β
Hao Weifeng said: "Not all the people went out with the lowly position just now, there are still some left in the city, and they have to protect the prince, and now they are all here, if they don't count the lowly position, there are a total of fifty-five!" β
Yang Ze nodded, in such a big Zhenxi County, there are only fifty-five alternate civil servants, to be honest, it is really a few, but it is better than nothing!
He looked at the ragged men, and saw that these men were all strong, almost all of them were strong men in their twenties, and there were some Hu people among them, but they all had vegetables on their faces, and it was obvious that they usually lived a hungry and full life, which was quite not moisturized!
Yang Ze said: "How much money do you owe them in the past? β
Hao Weifeng said: "The front and back add up, it's almost sixty times, but you don't have to pay them all, you can pay thirty percent!" β
The ragged men don't expect to get the full amount of food and labor, they are unemployed vagrants in Zhenxi County, if they are put on the grassland, they are wandering herdsmen without sheep, and they can have a full meal to eat, even if it is the New Year, how dare they expect anything else!
Yang Ze looked at this group of big men who were looking at him with blank eyes, and said: "All of them are left, all of them are considered officers and soldiers of this county, and they are under the personal control of this county, and the money owed before will be compensated twice, and in the future, everyone will be paid 200 wen every month, and they will never be in arrears!" β
Hao Weifeng was taken aback, so that the labor and food money to be paid would be 120 yuan, and in addition to the monthly military salary, it would be equivalent to spending more than ten yuan, which was a fixed expenditure, how could Zhenxi County, a poor place where birds don't, afford such a large amount of expenses.
If in Chang'an, the expenditure of more than ten guan is simply drizzle, catch and go to the street to extort merchants, more than this number a day, but this is not Chang'an, it is a bitter cold place in the northwest, and more than ten guan is a lot of money!
The ragged men roared to the ground and cheered in unison, they didn't expect that the newly appointed county magistrate would give them a fixed salary, and they didn't even expect to receive the full amount of the money they owed before, but now they have doubled, many of them have lived for half their lives, and they have never seen the coherent money, which is really great news!
Hulala, the hall knelt down, and the ragged men were full of gratitude, all lying on the ground, kowtowing to Yang Ze!
Yang Ze said: "Everyone must have new clothes to wear, and there must be standard knives and guns, this must be purchased in the state immediately, where is the history?" β
Yan Chenghou didn't react for a while, and it wasn't until Tan Zhengwen reminded him that he thought that the history of the canon was himself, and the county lord was calling himself, so he was busy stepping forward to obey orders.
Yang Ze estimated that he was not very rich, but Yan Chenghou had money, and this time he followed him to the northwest and brought two thousand yuan, so he could only be cushioned by Yan Chenghou first, and he would pay him back later.
Yang Ze said: "You take people to the state to purchase and buy all the items you need." Also, look at what goods are lacking in this place, recruit some craftsmen in the state, any craftsmen can do, as long as they are willing to come, recruit them! β
Yan Cheng nodded heavily, agreed, immediately turned around, and was about to run outside.
Yang Ze stopped him from behind and said, "It's not too late to go tomorrow." You go to the other side and ask, what items the prince's family needs, and buy them back, especially the items for women, rouge gouache, and clothing materials, pick the best to buy! β
Yan Chenghou agreed, and said secretly in his heart: "Why do you buy things for women, could it be that Lord Yang has taken a fancy to that little princess and wants to please her?" (To be continued......)
