Ham is very happy to be the team leader, his ancestors have been officials for the first time in five or six generations, this is a rare experience!

Although there is no salary to be the leader of the group, you can be a leader!

Therefore, since the title of team leader was added to his head, Ham feels that he has more energy to walk, and the whole person is a lot younger and has more face.

After sweeping the last garbage on the streets, Ham inspected more than 20 streets in the four hundred-household districts, and found that the garbage ponds and streets were clean and tidy, and there was no garbage.

Coming to his own neighborhood, Ham slowly puffed up his chest and strutted with his head held high, and the whole person had the style of a team leader.

Of course, this is what he thinks himself, and what others think, very majestic.

The big girls and young men who walked down the street cast envious glances at him, which greatly satisfied Ham's vanity, which made Ham, who had been bowing his head for decades, very happy.

Looking ahead, Ham saw his neighbor Raul coming back out of breath, and Ham looked up to see that the sun was already yellow, and it was almost dark, so he hurried to complete the task.

"Raul!" Ham shouted.

"Huh!" Raul was about to go home to rest, when he suddenly heard Ham's voice, turned around, and agreed.

"Ham, what's the matter?" At a trot, Raul came to Ham's side and asked suspiciously.

"Wait a while and go to the district chief's house, you know the district chief's house!" Ham said, looking at Raul's sweaty forehead.

"Hey, hey! Know! I'll take a drink and go right away! Raul nodded, hurriedly responding.

"Hurry up, I'm afraid the district chief has something to announce today, don't be late, I'll leave first, and someone else will notify me!"

Ham warns Raul and leaves.

Raul looked at Ham, who was slowly leaving, with envy and jealousy in his eyes, he had a stable job, and he was also a petty official, so he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

"Jack, go to the mayor's house before eating, don't forget!"

"Xiao Ram, tell your father, go directly to the district chief's house for dinner!"

As he walked, Ham shouted a few words when he saw his subordinates, and in less than ten minutes, all the people had been notified, and when they went back to change their shoes, Ham walked to the mayor's house in high spirits.

At this time, at the district chief's house, a middle-aged man with a hat was sitting in front, and three young people in their twenties were standing behind him, well-behaved and a little restrained.

Then, Lemuel walked in with light steps, and bowed to the middle-aged man who was sitting: "Your Excellency, I have already notified you!" ”

"Yes! Got it! The middle-aged man bowed his head lightly and said slowly.

Lemire then stood aside, like the other three young men, looking around boredly.

Rodney sat in his chair, silently thinking about his thoughts.

As the owner of a grain store, Rodney's reputation for generosity has spread in this generation, and he has also received the name of "Rodney the Generous".

After inheriting the grain shop from his father, Rodney occasionally made bread from moldy sprouts and distributed them to poor people, and sometimes invited people to drink a glass of rye wine in the tavern......

Compared to other stingy businessmen, Rodney is generous.

These things brought him great fame, and made him extremely influential in this generation of the district, so to speak, in a few years, he could go to the city council and become the envy of everyone.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, and at the beginning of this year, His Majesty the King actually canceled London's autonomy, and more importantly, he actually promised the city councillors to serve for life, my God, after getting the news, Rodney was drunk, and his dream of being a councillor was shattered.

However, a few months later, the peak turned around, and because of his good reputation and influence, he was appointed by the mayor as the mayor of the district.

After knowing the good news, he immediately used his rights to name this 100-household district Sweet (sweet) 100-household district, and then transferred the name to His Excellency the Governor-General, and finally, the city government recorded it, and this 100-household district became Sweet 100-household district.

This is just the privilege of his first mayor of 100 households!

As the mayor of a hundred households, the city government paid him a salary as much as one pound (two hundred and forty pennies), which was one-third of the profit of his grain store.

When he first learned that he was still paid, Rodney still remembers his surprised expression.

This morning he was summoned by His Excellency the Governor of the District, along with ten other District Governors, to carry out the order of the municipality - to record the population.

To be honest, after learning about this order at that time, he felt that the city government was purely full of food and had nothing to do and nothing to have fun.

There's no way, for the sake of his official position, it's nothing to be busy.

Before he knew it, Rodney's house was full of men, and the smell of sweat was concentrated together, creating a special smell.

Rodney woke up from his memories at the smell of this, covered his nose, and grimaced, feeling the urge to vomit.

"Jean, Howl, Asak, Lemuel, the next task is up to you, don't let me down!"

Covering his nose, Rodney's voice changed a little, and he spoke to the four young people beside him.

"I'm not feeling well, I'm going to rest first."

Seeing District Chief Rodney running away, the four Lemuel looked at each other helplessly, and could only shrug their shoulders, sigh, and start to get busy.

Lemuel and the four of them took away a dozen or so palm-sized small books with red and white covers from the baskets on the ground, the covers were thickened, and seemed to be mixed with a piece of wood.

Turn to the thickened cover, the first page is arranged from top to bottom, county/city ......, district ......, area code ......, head of family ......, population .......

Turn to the second page, which lists the head of the family ......, gender ......, age ......, date of birth, .......

The rest of the pages are like this, except that they are family members. Do you feel very familiar, isn't this a pirated copy of the household registration book!

The servants of His Excellency the District Chief had already brought out four tables and chairs from the house, and Lemire sat on them separately.

Although they didn't know what to do, the people were still lining up at Lemire's orders, starting one by one.

After hearing the orders of the four Lemire, Ham very consciously lined up at Lemire's table, ranking first.

Lemire looked up, then looked down, picked up a quill, and prepared to take notes.

As a clerk under the head of the 100 households, he was trained for three months before he took office, and he was able to read and write more than 3,000 words, which was barely qualified, of course, in English.

"You're the head of your household, aren't you?" Lemuel asked, without looking up, "Name?" ”

"Ham," Ham replied honestly.

"How many people are in the family?"

"Five, this year my family has added a daughter to me!" Ham laughed.
