Chapter 176: Recruitment

Chen Jing is not short of money, so it is not difficult to recruit officials. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Zhou Ping'an posted the notice, the entrance of the county government was crowded with people who wanted to apply.

However, since Chen Jing wants to recruit officials, he is not allowed by everyone.

Among these applicants, there are some people who are obviously very thin, and their faces are yellow and thin, and they are not people who can fight at first glance.

So Chen Jing restricted some conditions, such as height, knowledge or something.

If you are a scholar, you can relax in terms of height and weight, after all, there are many things in the county government, and it is convenient to deal with them if there are scholars.

In addition to these, physical strength is also one of the conditions.

Chen Jing will test their strength, if they can't even pull a bow, then let's go back obediently.

After such a selection, Chen Jing finally admitted fifty officials.

A small county government actually doesn't need so many government officials, but Chen Jing feels that Qinghe County is too special, and some armed forces will be relatively better.

In addition to the fifty regular officials, although they were unsuccessful, but the conditions were relatively good, Chen Jing also found them a job, called assisting the officials, they usually do things, but mainly to assist other officials.

With the official servant, it is not possible to start Chen Jing's work as a county order.

Because these officials are not formal, although they were selected, but they don't understand many laws, rules, or anything, Chen Jing needs to let them read through the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and only by understanding the laws of the Great Song Dynasty can they become qualified officials.

And they must also obey orders.

Moreover, although they have good strength and relatively good physique, they have not fully exerted their advantages, so every day, Chen Jing will train them in the county government to make their combat effectiveness stronger.

Of course, it was just that Chen Jing helped train a few days ago, and after that, all the training matters Chen Jing handed over to Xiang Hu, Xiang Hu was infinitely powerful, and these officials were afraid of him, so Xiang Hu said whatever he wanted, and these people quickly learned the rules.

After being recruited, Chen Jing began to familiarize himself with some things in Qinghe County.

He found that there were not many people doing business in Qinghe County, and there were not many rich people, and these people did not have a strong concept of the imperial court and county government, they were just like the people who did not have the imperial court.

In this case, it is naturally related to the fact that the county government has not established its prestige, but if you want to establish prestige, you have to let the people recognize it, if the county government does not do things for the people, the people will recognize you?

Therefore, after recruiting the officials, Chen Jing ordered people to publicize the laws of the Great Song Dynasty in Qinghe County, and let the people here know that from now on, the county government should act fairly, and the people can come to avenge their grievances, and they can report any disputes.

Of course, in addition, the most publicized is that the county government wants to crack down on crime, and no one cares about any theft before, they can be unscrupulous, but now that the county government has a county order, things here have to follow the rules.

After these news were first sent, they did not arouse the concern of the people, they may be precarious at any time, so why bother with this?

Many people live their lives in a mess, and those who steal petty are still petty thieves.

They thought that life would go on like this, until one of the robbers was caught by the county officials.

One day in late autumn and early winter, the weather in Qinghe County suddenly became cold, as if it was about to freeze people, and a woman finally got two catties of noodles to prepare for cooking at home.

As a result, one of the robbers robbed him on the street.

At that time, two officials were patrolling the streets, and when they found this, they immediately chased after them, and they caught the robber very neatly, if it was before, no one cared about this kind of thing at all, and even if someone did, they would only return the things to the owner.

But now it was different, the two officials caught the robbers and brought them into the county office.

Chen Jingshengtang, after asking about the situation, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, he was beaten a few times, and then put in prison.

This verdict made the people of Qinghe County immediately understand that they, the new county magistrate, were playing for real, and if anyone violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, they would never have their good fruit to eat.

And what happened after that proved their conjecture.

If someone steals, or does something other contrary to the law, as long as it is discovered by the officials, or someone reports it, the people of the county government will take care of it, and the management is very fair, and no one wants to bargain.

After the people found out about this, they naturally learned a little more about the rules, and they also had some awe for this new county government, but even so, everyone just stopped stealing or doing illegal things, and there was no change in other things.

The people are very good at adapting, there was no county government before, so they can adapt to this chaotic life, if there is any problem, they will solve it themselves, even if there is a fight on the street, it can be regarded as a solution.

But now that we don't let fight, then everyone won't fight, anyway, as long as we can adapt, although occasionally there are people who go to the county government to comment, but there are not many.

Everyone is more afraid of the county government, and they are in awe.

In this case, it is naturally easy to understand that although the county government popularized the laws of the Great Song Dynasty and curbed the occurrence of many evil things, the county government did not do much practical things for the people.

It's just that there are fewer sneaky people, but these people don't affect their lives, right?

The most important thing about the county government is that people feel scared.

Chen Jing naturally knows this situation, but there are many problems in Qinghe County, and what Chen Jing can do can only come step by step.

The weather is getting colder, Chen Jing, the county magistrate, wants to see how the people keep out the cold, so he and Xiang Hu came to the street to wander around this day, there are not many people on the street, after all, the weather is cold, and few people are willing to come out.

But there are not many people, but there are many beggars, these beggars have nowhere to go, they can only wander the streets, they are shivering with cold, their eyes are irrelevant, as if they are just waiting for death.

Seeing this, Chen Jing was very helpless, thinking about what way to solve this problem, and just when he was thinking like this, someone in front of him suddenly ran in a hurry, and the man shouted while running: "Oh no, run away, run away, the Xixia soldiers are coming, the Xixia soldiers are coming, the Xixia soldiers are coming......"

Hearing that the Western Xia soldiers were coming, Chen Jing frowned slightly, the weather was cold, and the materials of the Western Xia were even more scarce, they were already short of all kinds of things, and in winter, the most direct way for them to get the materials was to grab them.

It's just that now, as a county magistrate, how can he tolerate this kind of thing happening?

Chen Jing called out a servant patrolling the streets and asked him to gather the other officials at the city gate, while he and Xiang Hu hurried to the city gate.

After coming to Qinghe County, Chen Jing considered that there might be an enemy attacking the city, but he didn't have time to repair the city gate recently, and only sent ten assistant officials to guard there. (To be continued.) )
