Chapter 31: Recruiting Servants
readx; When I returned to the county office, it was past noon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Hai and the others sat in the car and did not show it, and all the officials running on the ground had sweat stains on their foreheads.
Mu Hai looked at the embarrassed appearance of the servants who were bent and weak, and shook his head secretly, but now he had no intention of rectifying them, and let them disperse to rest after pretending to be a two-sentence lecture, and he took Wood to go away to select the servants who came to enlist.
Xiang'er also wanted to follow, but was ordered by Mu Hai to go back to the house first to finish the reply to Qin Yanze.
Wood is far away from the county, and it stands to reason that he should not be allowed to choose such trivial matters as domestic servants, but Mu Hai intends to win him over as a cronie, and he will do special things. Wood is hungry to do things for Mu Hai, but his heart is full of joy, he has been in the officialdom for many years, where does he not know that since ancient times, those who can help their bosses do private affairs will be relied on by their superiors.
Wood fell half a distance behind Mu Hai and whispered, "My lord chooses a domestic servant this time, I don't know what the requirements are?" ”
"Requirements? There are two requirements: first, the heart is not bad, and the second is not to run two steps and breathe. ”
Wu Yuan heard Mu Hai's dissatisfaction with the servants, but seeing that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he had a smile on his face, he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
After experiencing last night's incident, Wu Yuan had a great feeling for Mu Hai's perseverance and ruthlessness, and he no longer dared to treat him as an ordinary gentleman.
The place where the servants were selected was at the back door of the county government's inner house, and I saw a notice that there were more than 30 people who came to apply.
A group of old men stood together and chatted, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Everybody's quiet, quiet." Wood Yuan paced two steps forward at Mu Hai's signal, stood on the edge of the steps, and said loudly, "The new official of the county magistrate has taken office, and there is a shortage of manpower in the house, so post a notice and call for domestic servants." ”
"The monthly money is clearly written in the notice, and the monthly money given by the adults is not unique in Surabaya City, but it is definitely the top. I can't make you rich, but it's more than enough to feed your family. In addition, your lordship will never deduct your money for no reason, and I hope that you will do your best to do your best. ”
"Don't worry, Lord Xiancheng."
"That's nature." More than 30 people below shouted and agreed.
Wu Yuan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, paused, and said: "The adults choose servants, the first thing is morality, and the cunning and cunning people can only eat bitter fruits." I'll explain the ugly words first, if anyone is found out of misconduct in the future, he will be severely punished! Although Woodyuan is thin and short, he has been in a high position for several years, and his momentum is not weak.
The more than thirty big men were taken by the majesty of Woodyuan, and their hearts were awe-inspiring, and they all nodded yes.
Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you understand, besides, since he is a servant of the family, he naturally doesn't want the sick seedlings who can't help the wind, so ......"
"I'll take care of the rest." Mulking the sea came forward to interrupt Wood's words.
Wood bowed and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
Mu Hai looked around at everyone in the audience and said, "My name is Qin Jianzong, and I have been the county magistrate of Surabaya County since yesterday. Today's list of servants, first of all, you must understand one thing, I am recruiting domestic servants, not government servants, so you must have the strength to work, and you can't think about living in vain. ”
The more than 30 big men at the foot of the stairs were dumbfounded, are the officials all living in vain?
"Secondly, it is the most hateful to deceive the upper and lower levels. Such a person, Lao Tzu... I, uh, this officer found one and punished one severely! If you can't control your own hands, you might as well consider quitting, and don't let us embarrass each other, after all, friends...... Once you get acquainted, buying and selling is not benevolent. ”
"Yes, sir." The big men in the audience looked at each other, and muttered to themselves in their hearts, how can they feel like joining a third-rate gang in the rivers and lakes.
Mu Hai paused, stroked his palms and said, "Okay, what should be said is almost finished, let's assess our physical strength first." The sun is slanting, and after noon, have you eaten? ”
"I didn't eat, my lord."
"Well, it's just right if you don't eat it, and you can only try the depth if you don't eat it." Mu Hai waved his hand, "You run along this road to the west of the city, touch the west city wall and return, and if you can complete the task within the specified time, you have passed the first level." ”
"Yes."
Mu Hai said: "If you have any questions, you can ask them. ”
"How many domestic servants do you recruit?" The audience hesitated and asked
Mu Hai stretched out his palms and said, "Whole number, ten people, is there anything else to ask?" After waiting for a while and no one spoke, Mu Hai smiled: "Okay, the timer has begun." ”
Everyone was already ready, and when they heard the order, they hurriedly spread their feet and ran desperately towards the west of the city, scrambling to be the first, and disappeared at the corner of the street in a puff of smoke.
Wood said from afar: "My lord, I'll go and prepare incense sticks." ”
Mu Hai smiled: "Incense? What do you want it to do? Which Bodhisattva do you want to worship? ”
"Xiaguan doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, don't you want to time?"
Mu Hai said with a smile: "When you remember something, do you know how long it takes to go back and forth to the west of the city to be qualified?" If you don't know, what's the point of timing? I said that the time limit is just because I am afraid that they will be lazy, and I don't need any incense sticks, just choose the ten people who run back first. ”
Wood said from afar: "Your Excellency is wise. ”
Mu Hai shook his head and smiled: "Just be careful......" Looking up, he suddenly saw a burly man with a baby face running briskly from the street.
The burly man ran at a speed far beyond ordinary people, as fast as the wind, and in a blink of an eye, he came to Mu Hai, stretched out a big fan-like hand to wipe the sweat beads on his face, and said, "Is the county commander recruiting servants here?" ”
Wood Yuan was stunned when he heard this, looked the burly man up and down, and asked, "You are also here to apply?" ”
The burly man nodded, "Yes." ”
Mu Hai looked at the burly man's dark baby face and said with a smile: "You didn't read the time on the notice?" ”
The burly man scratched his head and said, "Look, but there is something on the road that has been delayed for a while-can you still apply if you are late?" ”
Mu Hai smiled: "Yes, but the chance is a little smaller." ”
The burly man perked up, patted his chest and said, "Please command." ”
Mu Hai said with a smile: "Run to the west of the city, touch the city wall and return, I only need the first ten people, you come a little later......" Before he finished speaking, the burly man pulled his legs and ran west.
Mu Hai was stunned.
Wood Yuan smiled: "This person is a good seedling, adults should not let go." ”
Mu Hai glanced at Wood Yuan and said, "What do you say?" ”
Wood Yuan said with a straight face: "This person is burly, has a strong physique, runs like the wind, and is a rare jade. Moreover, his eyes are black and white, and he does not squint when he speaks, which shows that he must be a simple-minded person. This man is a servant, faithful, and will not waver repeatedly. ”
Mu Hai also had a good impression of the dark and sturdy baby-faced man, and said with a smile: "Does Wu Xiancheng still know how to read faces?" ”
"Humble and talented, slightly dabbling."
Mu Hai said casually: "How about taking a look for me?" ”
Wood Yuan glanced at Mu Hai deeply, and said, "The face of the adult, I dare not say it. ”
Mu Hai's heart jumped, he wouldn't see anything, Lao Tzu was so cheap, he had nothing to say. Glancing at Wood Yuan, he said tentatively, "What do you mean by not daring to say?" ”
"It's expensive."
"Unspeakably expensive? Hey, scammers say that, right? Besides, can human life really be unpredictable? ”
Wood Yuan said with a straight face: "Knowing life and death, breaking yin and yang is naturally nonsense, and it is not enough to believe it. The way of fortune-telling is actually to predict the future according to people's temperament and the timing of world events, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an unpredictable prophet. ”
It turned out to be a subjective assumption, not an open eye to know the past and the future, so it shouldn't be possible to find out Lao Tzu's act of hiding the sky and crossing the sea, right?
Mu Hai remembered Wood's meaningful eyes just now, his heart responded, and he cleared his throat and said: "You must also understand my character, you can calculate my numerology, I really want to predict the prophet once." ”
"I don't dare."
The more he didn't dare to say it, the more Mu Hai wanted to know what he could say, and he didn't hesitate to say: "Wu Xiancheng, you don't have to be modest, there are only you and me here, and whether you are allowed or not, you will not smash your signboard." Besides, the county government should be okay, you don't need to set up a stall to tell fortunes, right? ”
"My lord laughed." Wood Yuan hesitated for a moment and said. "If the adults really let me be ugly, I will only say four words."
Mu Hai smiled: "I would like to hear about it." "I secretly said in my heart, as long as I don't be Li Dai Taozhuang, just hide from the world.
"Helping the world and the people."
Mu Hai was stunned, but he didn't expect Wood Yuan to give such an evaluation.
It is recorded in the Book of Tang - Taizong Benji: "The posture of the dragon and phoenix, the watch of the sky, will be twenty years old, and it will be able to help the world and the people." ”
This is the evaluation of Qizhou scholars to Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
To help the world and the people, you can't do it if you are not an emperor!
