Borrow the day to change the day

When Lu Xiangsheng reported the achievements in North Korea to the capital, Daming's own disaster relief work was also in progress.

Only a part of Guangdong near Hainan was affected by the hurricane, but even so, countless refugees were caused.This can be seen from Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong Province.

There are already many refugees in the city begging, or looking for work to make a living.There are even more refugees outside the city, especially in the Pearl River Estuary area, which has formed a refugee concentration area.

In this place, cargo ships are full of docks, and the middle-aged laborers carry all kinds of goods on and off the ships.Merchants and hawkers look at the goods and talk about business, which is very lively.

The inns, restaurants, and restaurants by the pier are even more lively.It is also the easiest place to hire refugees, or in other words, it is also the easiest way for refugees to find a way out here, so they all gather here.

Of course, the main reason is that the government has set up a porridge factory here, one in the morning and one in the evening.But the porridge can only pad the stomach, and it is impossible to get full.

Fortunately, it is not winter, otherwise it would be difficult to say how many of these refugees would survive.

While these refugees were sitting and conserving their strength, bored, a group of soldiers suddenly came from a distance.The leading civil servant rode a horse with high spirits.

Some refugees who probably knew the rank of officials were shocked when they saw it, as if they had a lot of background and were high-ranking officials.

The steward of the porridge factory also saw it, and quickly went up to him and said, "I have seen Mr. Sun."

The official who came on horseback was Sun Chuanting, the new Guangzhou Municipal Commissioner of Civil Affairs.

The original Shibo promotion department set up one person to be promoted, from the fifth rank, two deputy promotions, from the sixth rank, and one subordinate official, from the ninth rank.The promotion, or special appointment, or concurrently by the procuratorate and the salt department promotion department, the Shibo department is subordinate to the chief secretary.

But the current Shibo Lifting Department is different. First of all, the Shibo Lifting Department is directly managed by the Imperial Household Department.The grade of the promotion also mentioned the fourth grade, and a two-way anti-smuggling team was established, and the promotion even had the right to call the navy to participate in the anti-smuggling.

The promoted position suddenly became high and powerful, and became extremely popular.

Because of Sun Chuanting's merits in going to Japan, and Zhong Jinwei said that he was also well-known in his hometown, Emperor Chongzhen transferred him to the largest and busiest Guangzhou Shipping Department.

Sun Chuanting sat on the horse and did not dismount, but asked blankly, "Where are the middle-aged men in the refugee camp?"

"The villain will take Mr. Sun there." The man was not dissatisfied at all, and still replied with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he turned sideways to lead the way, and led Sun Chuanting to walk not far away.

The middle-aged men in the refugee camp were gathered together for the convenience of merchants and wealthy customers.When they saw a high-ranking official approaching, none of them were as excited as they were when they saw a merchant and a tycoon, rushing to surround him to show themselves.Because they didn't think that this high-ranking official would hire him, and more just came over to inspect like some previous officials did.

But who knew that this official was different. First of all, he was riding on a horse, with his upper body upright, exuding a stern aura, which was not comparable to those officials before.

When the official arrived in front of them, he stopped at the horse instead of continuing to patrol.

Sun Chuanting glanced at the many strong men expressionlessly, and then said: "This officer is the Tiju of the Guangzhou Municipal Ship Lifting Division. Now I am recruiting the anti-smuggling soldiers of the Municipal Ship Lifting Division. They are required to be strong, able to endure hardships and stand hard work. The family is small, and those who can read and write are preferred!"

As soon as he said this, it was like a thunderbolt exploding on the heads of these refugees.

First of all, for Cantonese, especially the coastal Cantonese who have suffered from typhoons, they know how the anti-smuggling soldiers of the Shibo Lifting Department are doing.That is a lucrative position that all merchants and high rollers bow down to, and everyone envies.Although they are soldiers, they are completely different from ordinary soldiers.

Unexpectedly, this court official would come to recruit anti-smuggling soldiers from among them. How could they not be excited when the news came out!

The second is the condition put forward by this promotion, the body is strong, this is easy to understand, but why do you have to be homeless, and even literate?

Those who had a family couldn't figure it out at first, and shouted: "Why can't you have a family?"

"My lord, the grass people only have parents and parents, is that okay?"

"My lord, Caomin only has one son, is that all right?"

"..."

Not only these, but more people are booing because of illiteracy: "My lord, I have a lot of strength, and I am the best at catching people. Why do I need to be literate?"

"Yes, my lord, I usually run much faster than others, even if I can't read, it's okay, right?"

"..."

Naturally, there were also some strong men who had no family, or who could read a few words, happily raised their hands and patted their chests to attract Sun Chuanting's attention.

"My lord, grass people don't have small families."

"My lord, the grassroots went to a private school."

"..."

Sun Chuanting didn't say anything, just looked coldly at the refugee area that turned into a vegetable market.

After a while, he suddenly waved his hand, and the soldiers who followed him immediately stepped forward, using the knives and guns in their hands to isolate the refugees who crowded in front of him out of excitement.

Because of the actions of the soldiers, the refugees also restrained themselves, and no longer aggressively promoted themselves or questioned Sun Chuanting's conditions.

"I'm doing things, do I have to explain to you?" Sun Chuanting looked at the group of strong men in front of him coldly and shouted.

Sensing Sun Chuanting's coldness, and fearing to offend the court official, the refugees fell silent and did not dare to make any more noise.

"Those who meet the conditions and intend to be anti-smuggling soldiers come out." Sun Chuanting announced when he saw that the scene was quiet.

The reason why he insisted on that seemingly ruthless prerequisite was that before he came to Guangzhou to take office, Emperor Chongzhen had already talked with him.

The Shibo Lifting Department will be a major source of revenue for the imperial court in the future, and it is necessary to do a good job in this lifting work.Anyone who neglects their duties and embezzles others will be severely punished.

Sun Chuanting also understands that this position is a very oily position, if one is not careful, he will slip into the oily water and drown.

He was still in the capital, right after his appointment came out.The originally sparsely populated residence suddenly became a bustling city full of guests.These people who came to visit suddenly wanted him to raise his hand so that they could evade taxes.

Because of this, Sun Chuanting was particularly aware of the importance of maintaining integrity in this position.Therefore, he is cold and cold to everyone. First of all, he tells others clearly from the appearance that I am not easy to get along with, so don't bother me.

As for his two prerequisites, it wasn't that he was cold-blooded, or that he was harsh, but that he had a necessary reason for doing so.
