Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 512 What's Inconvenient
After Cai Rong left, Qi Renli asked Meng Changqing what to do. Should he pick four relatively better papers from the remaining papers? Or should he reduce the difficulty of the questions and choose again?
"No need to go through so much trouble." Meng Changqing sighed and tapped the three answer sheets placed aside. "We will only recruit these three this time. The remaining seven will be selected again in the second half of the year."

Bafang came in with the food, "My lords, please have lunch quickly. The kitchen has heated the food three times. If we heat it any further, the food will turn into a paste."

Qi Renli took the bowl with one hand and held the answer sheet with the other hand but refused to put it down. He said worriedly, "The three people hired this time are all women. Will it be inconvenient?"

"What's the inconvenience?" Meng Changqing said, "Since you said that there is no gender restriction when recruiting, there must be women among the selected people. Why do you have to say this now?"

Qi Renli took two bites of rice, hesitated and finally said, "Sir, in fact, from the beginning I wanted to say that the school can teach girls to read and write, which is your intention.

Beishan County has a smaller population than other counties. Women work outside the county just like men. They learn some knowledge, which will be useful for them whether they work outside the county or raise children at home. They can work in the county government...

The county government office, especially the front office, is full of men, so it would be somewhat inconvenient for women to come in."

"Brother Qi, you support women's work and study, which is more than many people in this dynasty." Meng Changqing first affirmed him, and then said, "As you said, their study is more conducive to their work. However, even the county government cannot provide them with job opportunities, so who can we expect kind-hearted people to provide such opportunities?
In places where there are many men, they all say it is inconvenient. Is it true that women can only do embroidery? Why?

Besides, speaking objectively, we selected people based on the results of the written test.

They have passed your test and met our employment requirements. How can you eliminate their opportunities just because of some inexplicable inconvenience?"

Qi Renli looked guilty, "Thank you for your advice, my Lord. I don't think as far as you do."

Meng Changqing waved his hand. "Well, your concerns are reasonable. If there is anything inconvenient, please let us know and we will gradually improve it."

"Yes." Qi Renli took a few bites of rice and asked, "When will these three people come to the county government to work? What specifically will they be asked to do?" "Are the ten people under you enough?" Meng Changqing asked him back.

"It's barely enough for now." Qi Renli said, "I'm afraid I'll have more and more things to do in the future."

"Then I'll let these three people help Cheng Guang. Let them do the registration, accounting, and inventorying of items, and Cheng Guang can save a lot of effort.

As for when to have them come to the county government, we will wait until the results of the martial arts test come out tomorrow, and then inform them of the results together, so that they can come on the same day for centralized training. "

That’s how it was decided.

Let’s talk about Luo Sanmu’s family. After Luo Yun handed in the answer sheet, he asked Zheng Hongyu how she answered.
"I wrote down everything I know, but I don't know if the answer is correct." Zheng Hongyu asked her, "What about you?"

Luo Yun looked up at the sky and said, "I don't remember what I wrote at all."

Zheng Hongyu patted her on the back and said, "No matter what the result is, we have tried it once."

"You're right. My dad has to take part in a martial arts test tomorrow. I don't have classes tomorrow anyway, so come with me and watch it!"

"it is good!"

Luo Sanmu stayed with his wife and daughter for the entire day, comforting them from morning till night. But when he lay down on the kang and realized that it would be his turn tomorrow, his mood changed instantly and he was so worried that he couldn't even sleep.
