Chapter 390: Rent and Catch Quickly
"You're right, it's not too early to make enemies!" Wei Xianyun nodded and said, "Bao'er, I don't know what errand you want to do?" ”
"Let's catch fast, I want to start with catching fast!" Zhang Baoer said what she thought. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Huh? Catch fast? Wei Xianyun and Ji Wen glanced at each other.
"What's wrong with being fast?" Zhang Baoer looked at the two in surprise.
"It's a cheap slave to catch fast!" Givin explained: "Prostitutes, elites, subordinates, and pawns under the common people are all lowly servitude, and this includes catching fast. ”
"So you can't climb up any longer?" Zhang Baoer asked puzzled.
"That's not true, but people who enter the county government are generally unwilling to do fast catchers and government servants."
"That's the end of it!" Zhang Baoer said indifferently: "As long as you can climb up, it doesn't matter if it's a cheap servant or not, it's just a stepping stone, why care too much?" ”
Ji Wen couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this: "It's because we're a little stubborn, or Ding'er is right, it's just a stepping stone." ”
Wei Xianyun said again: "But Bao'er, if you want to go through the people of the county government, it may be a little difficult to try to enter the yamen to catch fast!" ”
Zhang Bao'er said strangely: "You don't say that catching fast is cheap labor, what is the difficulty of catching fast, it's a big deal that I spend more money!" ”
Wei Xianyun explained: "The amount of food given by the government is very small, only a few taels of silver a year, and it is difficult to eat enough if you only rely on these silvers. Many of those who are willing to serve as quick servants do not do so for the poor money, but for the sake of oppressing the good, acting as a prestige, and doing all kinds of business with the people. Therefore, it is not something that can be done if you want to do it, you have to wait in line for a seat. As far as I know, there are only sixteen people on the regular duty of the Qucheng Capture Fast Economic System, and their positions are currently not vacant. ”
"There are only sixteen arresters in a county office? No way? Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened: "I have seen more than sixteen catchers in the county government alone!" ”
"Sixteen, yes!" Wei Xianyun affirmed: "Although the people you saw were also wearing fast catcher clothes, they were not necessarily fast catchers, most of them were deputy servants or white servants!" ”
"What is a deputy white servant?" Zhang Baoer became more and more incomprehensible.
"Generally, there are only a dozen to dozens of people in the county yali who are on regular duty, and these people are obviously not enough, so some helpers are set up to help the regular servants perform official duties, also called deputy servants. Many scoundrels who want to be fast hunters voluntarily follow the fast catchers to run errands to help, which is called white labor. Often, a regular officer has two or three deputies, and each deputy has two or three white servants. So, Bao'er, you've seen far more than sixteen people. ”
"So, I don't have much hope of being a fast catcher?" Zhang Baoer was greatly frustrated when she heard this.
"Not really!" Seeing that Zhang Bao'er was a little discouraged, Wei Xianyun hurriedly said: "We can spend money to rent this fast-catching position from the rich, but I don't know if we can rent it for a while!" ”
"What?" Zhang Baoer was taken aback: "Can you still rent the position of catching fast?" ”
"Bao'er, that's it!" Ji Wen has been working in the yamen for a long time, and he explained for Wei Xianyun: "Although the Kuai Ya Servant is a pariah, and his official income is very small, he can be exempted from other servitudes, so some well-off households will buy a seat for the Kuai Ya Servant to avoid other servants, and then rent out this seat to collect rent." ”
"So that's what happened!" Zhang Bao'er suddenly realized, and he said to Wei Xianyun: "Sir, let me pay attention to inquire, if there are any rich people willing to rent out the position of fast catcher, let's rent one!" If it really doesn't work, let's buy one from them at a big price! ”
What can be done with money is a piece of cake for Zhang Baoer, who has a lot of money.
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible!" Wei Xianyun nodded.
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Bao'er seemed to remember something, and he asked, "Elder Wu, where are they now?" ”
"The twenty people brought by Wu to ward off evil spirits, I have already scattered and placed them in various places in Qucheng County, and I can gather them at any time, but I ......" Wei Xianyun stopped when he wanted to speak.
"Just what?" Zhang Bao'er saw that Wei Xianyun's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
"It's just that on the third day after Wu Gui arrived in Qucheng, he lost contact, according to his subordinates, he went to the mountains around Qucheng to find out the news of the bandits, and there has been no news for more than 20 days!"
"What? No news for more than 20 days? Zhang Bao'er's heart tightened: "Elder Wu won't have any accidents, right?" ”
"Probably not!" Wei Xianyun analyzed: "With Wu's ability to ward off evil spirits, those bandits are not his opponents at all, even if he encounters bandits, it is not difficult for him to retreat with his whole body." ”
"Did you send someone to find it?" Zhang Bao'er frowned.
"I've sent several people, but there's no news!"
"No news is probably the best news!" Zhang Bao'er muttered: "Sir, don't give up, continue to send people to find it until there is news!" ”
"I see!" Wei Xianyun nodded.
"Gu'er, how are they doing?" Zhang Baoer asked again.
Hearing Zhang Bao'er mention Gu'er, Wei Xianyun smiled: "Of course Yan Gu is still his beggar, this is already familiar to him, and he helped find out a lot of news here!" ”
Zhang Bao'er shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Gu'er is addicted to being a beggar!" ”
Ji Wen asked on the side: "Sir, when we came in just now, Song Langzhong seemed to be very angry, complaining that he couldn't do his old job, what was going on?" ”
"Oh, that's it!" Wei Xianyun explained: "After Zheng Muye came to Qucheng, he issued an order that all Langzhong people must have a medical license issued by the county government to see a doctor, otherwise they will be treated as quacks, and the light ones will be fined, and the heavy ones will be sent to prison. Not to mention Song Langzhong, it was originally seven or eight Langzhong in Qucheng County, except for one person who had a medical license, the others did not have a medical license, and they had all changed careers. ”
"Only one person has a medical license?" Zhang Bao'er asked, "Could it be that this person is a relative of Zheng Muye?" ”
Wei Xianyun stretched out his thumb: "You really guessed, this person is Zheng Muye's eldest brother, his name is Wu De." Wu De is a langzhong, relying on his sister to be Zheng Muye's concubine, and took over the business of seeing a doctor in the county. People in the city can only look for Wu De when they are sick, and Wu De will admit money when he sees a doctor, as long as you are sick, you have to prepare the money first. ”
"The name of this guy is not wrong, it is really virtuous, it seems that this Zheng Muye is not a good bird!" Zhang Baoer scolded hatefully.
