Zhang Xutuo looked at Luo Feng, who was very calm under the ya, and said to Zhang Yichen, the county commander, "This son is not panicked when he encounters robbers, he is brave and strategic, and he is rewarded with money and silk today and cannot get carried away, but he is so young, it is really rare." He smiled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that this son was still young, he would have intentionally wanted to take him back to the county." ”

As a county officer, he is in charge of the county soldiers, responsible for suppressing bandits and catching thieves to maintain law and order, and he is the second-in-command in a county, which is considered a high-ranking young man who can make him look at him differently, which is indeed unusual.

Zhang Yichen nodded, thoughtful.

In the past two years, the imperial court has built a lot of buildings, the people have heavy labor, and the local security problem has become more and more serious, and the blue-faced eighteen ghosts are not a special case.

Although Zhangqiu County is not large, it also has more than 20 townships and a population of nearly 10,000 households. But the quality officials in the middle of the county are only him, the county cheng, and the chief bookkeeper, and there are more than a dozen officials outside the stream, and although there are more than 30 of the remaining officials, they have to be divided into three classes, and the real maintenance of law and order is actually ten of the fast class.

Each of these ten catchers has a group of helpers and strong men, but just like the previous Zhao catcher, they are all bastards and are useless.

"This son is indeed a talent that can be created, young and energetic and courageous, I heard that he has also read and read, it is very rare, this county intends to let him enter the yamen to do a quick catch, but also to rush the lazy atmosphere of the current officials."

"I think it's possible." Zhang Xutuo stroked his beard.

Zhang Yichen actually liked Qin Qiong more in his heart, if Qin Qiong was willing to stay in the county, he even wanted to ask Qin Qiong to be a head catcher. However, Qin Qiong is a soldier of the Weifu, although he has no official rank, but I heard that he is a personal soldier under the account that the general comes to protect his son, and he is also the son of the Qin family in Licheng, and people will not look at the last post of catching fast, unless Qin Qiong is asked to be the county lieutenant, but the county lieutenant is the position of the ninth grade, and he has no power to serve privately as a county commander.

"Luo Wu!"

Zhang Yichen opened his mouth and asked, "This county sees that you are brave and strategic, and can read and write, and this time you have captured thieves and meritorious, so I intend to promote you, Zhao San of the third class of the county government has been dismissed, and there is a vacancy, so I want you to fill the vacancy, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Luo Feng in the hall was silent for a moment.

Zhao Sanyuan is one of the ten official catchers in the fast class, and he is considered to be the official errand officer in the county, although this kind of errand is not an official or an official, but it is also a very popular position in the county, which is considered a public family, compared to the people who take turns to be on duty in the county, this is a formal civil servant, and the benefits are visible.

There are advantages and disadvantages of catching fast, that is, catching fast can only be classified as servitude, and it is not on the table in the eyes of those aristocratic bureaucrats.

But then again, what is Luo Wu's identity now?

A poor man in the countryside, the poor in the family are about to jingle the bell, and because of hard labor, all five members of his family have been conscripted to serve, and there are only a few old and weak women and children in the family, and he has already gone to serve a service and dug the river for two months because of hard labor.

No one is sure when they will be called up to do military service again, and if they do fast hunting, it is actually equivalent to no longer having to worry about being called up to do other services, and even, catching fast still has a very good income, and it is not a problem to support the family.

The status is low, Luo Feng can't take care of it at this time, and the most important thing is to stand firm first.

It's not bad to be a quick catcher, after all, this is a regular job, not the kind of temporary worker to cooperate with the police joint defense team or something.

"Thank you for the love of the county order, and the little ones are also willing to serve the imperial court." Luo Feng knows the way of lifting very well.

Seeing that the young man is so familiar with current affairs, Zhang Yichen is very satisfied, let a sixteen-year-old young man be a fast catcher, this is his exception to promote, if the other party does not know each other, it will inevitably make him lose face.

"Very good, then the county will officially let you catch the county, and allow you to go home on a ten-day holiday, and then return to the county government to report and do things after ten days."

Luo Feng bowed his hand and thanked him, "Thank you for the promotion!" ”

There was a sound of envy below, in the eyes of those aristocratic officials, of course, a fast catch was extremely slight, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this soapy fast catcher was an official and a public servant, and he ate the emperor's grain. Not only majestic, but also an iron rice bowl.

Luo Feng is so young, and he has already been personally awarded by the county order to catch fast, which is enough to make people marvel and envy.

However, he has the merit of catching the blue-faced thief, and everyone is envious and convinced, although they are young, they have the ability.

Even everyone has some expectations for this young man's arrest, hoping that the security in the county will be better in the future, and the arrogance of those bandits can be killed, and the county will be a little peaceful.

When they came out of the county office, Luo Feng and the third uncle carried a bag with money and silk that had just been rewarded.

"Go home?" The shoulders were heavy, but Xiao Qi was very happy, and his eyes were still very vigilant looking left and right, for fear that others would steal his bounty Yes.

Luo Feng looked at the money bag on his shoulder and asked Qin Qiong, "Did my cousin go back to Licheng first?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry for a while, I plan to go home with you today and visit my aunt."

"Thank you, cousin, my mother would be very happy to see my cousin."

Luo Feng thought for a while, "I'm going to buy some food first and then go home, how about it?" ”

"Okay." Qin Qiong has no opinion.

Third Uncle Luo and the others also hurriedly said, "I'm going to buy some food too." ”

"I'll go too." Several other fellow villagers also said.

Everyone kept smirking on the way, although the bounty was discounted in the end, but one of them finally got the bounty of eight times.

That's a lot of money.

"With so much money, if it is all exchanged for food, it will be enough for our family to eat for a year or two." The third uncle sighed.

The county seat is not big, several shops are all concentrated in the market in the east of the city, it is a closed market, a cross street divides the market into four, there are all kinds of shops along the street, although the sparrow is small, it can be complete, and all kinds of shops are complete.

Qin Qiong first went to a gold and silver shop, which was to create gold and silver jewelry and utensils for sale, and also did business such as gold and silver exchange, and loan mortgages.

When they came in, they were greeted by the treasurer.

"Shopkeeper, help me exchange these silk and cloth for copper coins."

When she was out of the house, Qin Qiong thought that the silk and cloth were troublesome to carry, so she asked to exchange them for copper coins.

In this dynasty, silk and cloth were actually used as money as currency, while gold and silver were not currency. The main reason for the combination of money and silk is that the Central Plains Dynasty has always had little copper mining and high coinage costs, resulting in too little copper and not enough money, so it can only be used for both money and silk.

"Okay, I'll take a look at the condition first." The shopkeeper is very polite.

Qin Qiong's bounty of 110 guan actually only got ten guan of copper coins, as well as silk and cloth worth 100 guan, but the silk cloth was given at the official price, and the market price was actually only one-fifth.

The silk and cloth were laid out one by one, and the condition was good, and the people in the county did not fool them.

"The color is good, if it is all changed to meat, it can be exchanged for twenty times, if it is exchanged for white money, it can be exchanged for thirty times, I don't know which kind of military master to change?" The shopkeeper asked.
