"Lady, you have to be careful at home, go out and ask Lao Liang to follow you, don't let the bad guys succeed." Song Wenjian looked at this delicate beautiful lady and felt a little uncomfortable.

If he was killed in Yangqing Township, then Mo Xintong might have to remarry.

Thinking of such a beauty as someone else's woman, Song Wenjian felt even more uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention." When Mo Xintong heard Song Wenjian call "lady", her heart softened, and she didn't push Song Wenjian again, letting him hold it.

Mo Xintong felt that her heart was beating very hard, as if she was about to jump out.

Although she has been married to Song Wenjian for so long, she has never been intimate. Today, Song Wenjian is like this, which makes her extremely shy.

"Click", footsteps sounded outside.

Mo Xintong blushed and nudged Song Wenjian: "Xiaoqing is coming." ”

Song Wenjian reluctantly let go of Mo Xintong, smelling the fragrance on her body, he actually had the urge to take her to Yangqing Township.

However, Song Wenjian just thought about it, Yangqing Township was too close to Luogang Mountain, and he was not fully sure to protect himself, let alone Mo Xintong.

"Miss, the porridge is here." Xiaoqing put the meat porridge on the table, and Mo Xintong beckoned Song Wenjian to eat it while it was hot.

Xiaoqing looked at Mo Xintong and then at Song Wenjian, and always felt that something seemed wrong with them.

Song Wenjian, Wu Guanhai and Jian Yuping hurried, this time Song Wenjian used his own carriage, Jian Yuping drove the car, and Lao Zhuang stayed in the yamen to help his father catch the car.

At that time, the old horse dragged the broken car to Yangqing Township.

At the very edge of the polder town where Yangqing Township is located, there is a large courtyard with several buildings, the vermilion gate is closed, and a large stone dog is placed on each side.

The stone dog is a major feature of Leizhou, and it is one of the beliefs of the local people, and many people regard it as a guardian saint and a master of ceremonies.

Jian Yuping said strangely: "It's all this time, why don't you open the door yet?" ”

Wu Guanhai frowned and said: "Since ancient times, the helpers in the township have been recruited by the township chief, and the wages are also paid by the township chief. Now that Mo Weibao has an accident, of course those people will not be here. ”

Song Wenjian said with a smile: "It seems that I only have the two of you to help now, Yuping, you go over and open the door, and let's go in and talk." ”

When Jian Yuping wanted to bang on the door, the door opened, and an old man came out to look at them. "Who are you?"

"We are from the county yamen, Mo Weibao has been removed from the post of township head, this is our Song Wenjian township head, and now we have come to take over Mo Weibao's errand." Wu Guanhai shouted loudly.

"Ah, that second fool township chief is here." The old man cried out in surprise.

He saw that Wu Guanhai was wearing poor clothes and a waist knife at his waist, and he also believed a little.

Yesterday, the helpers of the township office heard that Mo Weibao had been removed from his post and imprisoned, and that the new township chief was the second fool of Songhua County, and he would not pay them, so they left overnight.

The old man Hong, who was the gatekeeper, was a desperate household, that is, the current five-guarantee household, and he had no relatives and was homeless, so he continued to stay in the township to guard the door.

"Did you talk like that?" Jian Yuping angrily pulled out the waist knife from his waist and shouted.

"Ah, sir, don't be angry." Old man Hong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Song Wenjian stopped Jian Yuping's impulse and asked, "Tell me about the situation in the township." ”

Old man Hong hurriedly told Song Wenjian about the situation, "My lord, can I still stay in the township?" I can watch the door, as long as you give me fifty dollars a month. ”

"Is fifty dollars enough for you to eat?" The help of the township office is generally not covered with food, and when there is something to do, come to help, and you can go home to do your own work if you have nothing to do.

A gatekeeper like Old Man Hong has to stay in the township and can't leave.

"I'll save some food." Old man Hong said helplessly.

Song Wenjian also needed help from someone familiar with the township now, so he asked Old Man Hong to stay and watch the door.

Song Wenjian and the others went inside and found that several buildings in the township office had a lot of space, and the documents in the archives were thrown on the ground indiscriminately, and these were all relevant notices and official documents issued by the county.

Song Wenjian took Wu Guanhai and others to clean up the inside, and they were all sweating profusely.

"Township Chief, Captain Dai Wangli has come to look for you." Although Old Man Hong doesn't have much ability, he has been guarding the door here for many years, and most of the people who go in and out of the countryside know him.

Dai Wang walked out with two villagers, and when he saw Song Wenjian, he hurriedly shouted: "Engong, I thought you would come to office in two days." Today happened to be the polder day, we came to buy something, and when we passed by here, we found that the gate was open, and I asked Old Man Hong, only to learn that you were coming. ”

Song Wenjian knew that Yangqingwei Day was 147, and today was 17th, which was the Wei Day.

"Dai Wang, you're just in time, I'm looking for you." Song Wenjian said happily. "Now that I'm coming to Yangqing Township, my eyes are dark, the former helpers in the township have left, I want you to come over as a helper, are you willing?"

Even if those helpers don't leave, Song Wenjian will drive them away, Mo Weibao's people, how dare he use them.

Dai Wang frowned and said, "Help?" I'm going to go back and talk to my family. ”

Song Wenjian said with a smile: "You go back and think about it, I heard Old Man Hong say that the former township helper was 300 yuan a month, and I will add 500 yuan to you." If you don't have anything to do in the farm, how about you go home and help? ”

Old man Hong said that the helpers in the former township were actually Mo Weibao's family. Song Wenjian was unfamiliar with this life, so he had to recruit people from outside.

"Young Master, is this true?" Dai Wang's eyes lit up.

Although Song Wenjian is his father-in-law, he also has to think about his family. If you don't have much money to help, it's better to go out and work part-time to earn a little money.

But this month's five hundred dollars is different, and there are six taels of silver in a year, which is enough to pay their family's taxes and grain.

And Song Wenjian also said that when the farm is busy, the township can let them go home to help, which is a big pie falling from the sky.

"Seriously, we can make a statement." Song Wenjian said with a smile. "However, I will be paid first this month."

"Hehehe, I must believe in Engong, don't make a document." When Dai Wang heard that he was paid first this month, he laughed so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

The villagers in the back two miles asked, "Young Master Song, are you still recruiting helpers?" We have the strength, and we can do it. ”

Song Wenjian shook his head and said: "I still have to recruit fourteen helpers, but I won't recruit eight miles." There are fifteen miles in Yangqing Township, and one mile recruits a helper, and the treatment is also 500 yuan a month. ”

"What? Young master, you recruit so much? Dai Wang exclaimed in surprise.

A rich man like Mo Weibao only recruited a few helpers, but Song Wenjian is good, recruiting more than a dozen at once, how much does it cost?

Dai Wang did not know that Song Wenjian's township management method was based on the practice of one village cadre per village in later generations.

There is a helper in one, and if there is any announcement or news in normal times, it can be quickly transmitted back to his village through these helpers.
