Mr. Liu was very conscientious in his work. Before dawn, he got up early and told the original words of Xiao Chengyu and those insiders of the yamen, such as clerks and bosses who were sick at home all the year round.

There is nothing terrible about coming to the new prefect, the key is that this prefect also brought his family members here, so it is not easy to be fooled, he is going to camp here for a long time.

As soon as those people heard this, they rushed here. They are public officials anyway. Although they don’t have much salary, it’s better to have something than nothing. They usually play tricks because the higher-ups don’t care about it. Of course you have to be serious.

Early in the morning, before Xiao Chengyu got up, those people went to the yamen in their respective positions and busily opened, and there was a little life in the silent yamen.

Ah Li got up early and made breakfast with the old lady, and brought it to Lin Xueman's house. Although it was still rice porridge, it was obviously much thicker, and there was also a plate of small pickles, which were shredded radishes pickled in winter.

"Drink some porridge first, and I'll go out and buy some more food." Xiao Chengyu looked at the food that came in, and said apologetically. Before leaving, Mrs. Yang repeatedly told him that no matter how busy he was when he was away from home, You must take good care of your daughter-in-law, otherwise, if there is no milk, the child will also suffer.

"It's okay to have a meal or two. I'll watch it by myself at noon. You are busy with your work!" Last night, he didn't close his eyes all night, tossed and turned, and looked preoccupied. Lin Xueman naturally saw these things in his eyes. Such a mess, many It seemed that Nalan Yunxuan took a lot of brains to find such a place for Xiao Chengyu to come.

Before Xiao Chengyu went out.Mr. Liu rushed to report that the Sixth Son of Song had run away last night. He looked at Xiao Chengyu and said, "My lord, that Sixth Son of Song has no father or mother and is wandering around. I'm afraid he has already disappeared by now." , if you want to investigate, I am afraid it is..."

It seems that these people are really not afraid of the government.Under the nose, you can still escape!

"Forget it, let's let this go for now, and talk about it later." Xiao Chengyu stopped, thought for a while, and said again. "How much money do those mine owners give to those guards for a month?"

"My lord, as far as my subordinates know, those people don't have any money to get, they just follow along to make their mouths fat and full. Of course, they will get some rewards during the festivals. Count it. They don't have a few taels of silver, otherwise They won't do some road robbery." The teacher looked at him suspiciously and answered truthfully.

In the morning light, his face looked all sorts of vicissitudes.

"Put up a notice now, saying that the government is recruiting guards, let's recruit a hundred first! Each person is one tael of silver a month, and the requirements are young and strong, with good conduct. The specific matters, you can discuss it. Within two days , all personnel must be in place!" Xiao Chengyu obviously thought about it for a long time, he looked at Master Liu, he was a little surprised, and asked again, "Is there a problem?"

"There are people, but it's just the money..." Mr. Liu was a little embarrassed. There was not a single copper coin in the warehouse. The place was poor and couldn't collect much tax. Even the people inside the yamen couldn't support them. How could they afford to recruit so many people? people?

"I'll pay the money myself, you just have to do the work!" After Xiao Chengyu finished speaking, he strode out.

Master Liu stood there with a face full of surprise. The others obviously heard it too. They opened their mouths wide and looked at the prefect's back in disbelief. They really took it as their own business!

Don't say anything, let's work!

All the people immediately threw themselves into the work of recruiting guards as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

Lin Xueman was not idle either. She walked slowly in this yamen alone, looking at the new environment. In fact, this place is bigger than the government yamen in Yuzhou, but the house has been in disrepair all year round, and it looks very dilapidated. The wing house was crumbling, with wind leaking everywhere, it was really uninhabitable, and the back yard had been refurbished into several vegetable plots, with a little greenery emerging from them.

The place where the family lives now is actually used as an office, but the backyard can't live in people, so it can be used as a bedroom.

She went back and forth several times, and had some plans in mind.

The weather was fine, and Ah Li had already taken out all the quilts to dry. This girl is very thoughtful, her hands and feet are also very diligent, and she has no complaints, which makes Lin Xueman very pleased.

Apart from being kinder, the old lady remained calm and said nothing.

As soon as the notice was posted, there was a sensation in the city of Bingzhou. The government wanted to recruit guards, and there was still a tael of silver every month.

Although the folk customs of Bingzhou are tough, but their hearts are simple, the news spread quickly, and two or three hundred young people came all of a sudden, and surrounded the government office. I don't know, I thought these unscrupulous people were going to besiege the government office!

Although the people in the yamen hadn’t gone to work for a long time, they were locals after all, so they had already made preparations, locked the door of the yamen in advance, moved a broken table, found an open space not far from the yamen, and interviewed and registered their names. The open space was crowded with people, full of voices, and a commotion.

In addition to those who came to sign up, there were also many people who came to watch the excitement. A few older people were looking around the gate of the yamen, recruiting nothing but guards?

The gray-clothed man guarding the door said expressionlessly: "Those who want to sign up go over there, idlers are not allowed to stay here!"

"Oh! I said Xu Er is stupid, you think you are a Buddha with a string of garlic around your mother's neck! Aren't you just a doorman? What's so great, I just want to come and see, how about it?" It was a red-faced man with big eyes and a full beard. He looked at him with disdain and sneered.

Who doesn't know who!Really can pretend!

The corners of Xu Erleng's mouth twitched, and he repeated what he said just now: "Idlers, etc., are not allowed to stay here!" He had already seen that since the new magistrate was recruiting guards, he was determined to stay here. The yamen has been rectified.

As a member of the yamen, it is natural to straighten your back and speak with a firm voice.

"We just don't leave, we just want to stay here, what can you do to us?" Those few people booed.

One of them took a stone and threw it towards the gate.With a bang, a hole was punched in the door. The door was not strong in the first place, but now it is really a broken door!

Xu Er rushed forward angrily, and grabbed the man's skirt: "You have the guts to throw stones at the yamen, do you know what crime it is to attack the yamen?"

"I just threw it away, what can you do to me?" The man stepped forward and pushed him without any fear!

The two fought.

Others also stepped forward to help.It's not helping to persuade the fight, but besieging and besieging that Xu Erlian!

There was a mess at the door.

"You really are a fool." In the yard, the old woman heard the noise outside, and sighed, when did this yamen become so lively!

She stood at the door for a moment, shaking her head.into the house.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid Guard Xu won't be able to beat those people." Ah Li lay on the crack of the door, watched for a long time, then ran back and said to Lin Xueman who was sitting at the door of the wing basking in the sun, "Four people beat one!"

"Is your lord outside?" Lin Xueman asked early in the morning.Xiao Chengyu went out to buy some food and came back, but he never saw him again.Isn't he busy recruiting guards?

"No, the horse in the backyard is gone, he must have gone out!" Ali said.

The door was still noisy and noisy.

"I'll go out and have a look." Lin Xueman got up and said.

"Ma'am, it's so chaotic outside and your lord is not here, you'd better not go." Ali heard the sound of punching and kicking outside.frowned.

"I'm going out because my lord is not here. If he is here, will he still use me?" Lin Xueman said calmly. She walked to the door and wanted to open it, but found that the door was locked from the outside. She looked through the crack of the door. Look, backed up again, and hurried out through the back door.

A lot of people gathered in the open space not far away, chatting and laughing around there, and beside them, there were also many women standing there in twos and threes, laughing a few times from time to time.

They turned a blind eye to the fights at the gate of the yamen, probably thinking that it was normal.

"It's so chaotic outside, why did Madam come out?" A faint voice came from behind, it was the old woman.

"We can't let them keep fighting for such a small matter! We have to find a way to stop it!" Lin Xueman said anxiously. She looked at the old woman in front of her and saw that there was no anxiety on her face. There were punches and kicks, but nothing moved.

"Madam is wrong. They are familiar with each other. It seems to be a trivial matter, but it is actually a conflict that has accumulated for a long time and is just about to explode. If there is no winner today, there will inevitably be disputes in the future." The old woman continued to say lightly, "So don't worry about it, madam, just let them solve it by themselves! Besides, how can we women stop men from fighting!"

"Xu Huwei is a member of the yamen, and he is on duty because of official duties. Whether it is personal grievances or public anger, if there is something wrong with him today, it is naturally the responsibility of the adults. I can't just sit idly by." Lin Xueman saw the old woman's expression clouded Unsure, he smiled at her.

The corner of the old woman's mouth twitched, she turned and walked away.

Those who recruited in the yamen were surrounded by the crowd who came to sign up, three floors inside and three floors outside, and there was a lot of noise.

Lin Xueman saw a few young people in front of them happily lined up outside the crowd, with a sense of superiority on their faces. Obviously, the guards they had just recruited, she walked over and said to them: "The few people at the gate are making trouble at the gate of the yamen. How can the guards of the yamen sit by and do nothing?"

Those people were stunned for a moment.

It's better to have one thing more than one thing less, just hit it, don't care about yourself!

This is not yet in office!

Seeing that those people were not moving, Lin Xueman stepped forward and said a few words in a low voice. When those people heard what they said, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward without saying a word, quickly resolving the fight at the door.

Seeing that the young men not only helped the injured Guard Xu in, but also tied up the troublemakers and brought them in, Ah Li looked at Lin Xueman in surprise and asked, "Madam, what did you tell them?" What? They are so obedient?"

"I just told them that I heard that this is also part of the interview. Those who turn a blind eye to the people in the yamen being besieged can't be hired even if they pass the interview, because they don't have the ability to adapt." Lin Xueman smiled lightly, "Even if they doubt, I will not be indifferent to such a statement, besides, it is better to do something that is easy than to do it well!"

"Madam is really your lord's helper!" Ah Li clapped her hands and laughed.

The old woman listened, the corners of her mouth moved, but she didn't make a sound! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
