The rotation of Zhen's firm is a big event for the merchants in Hepu County, but it is not too concerned about the people at the bottom, but the news of recruiting people has attracted widespread attention from the people of Hepu County.

Road construction has always been organized by the imperial court, in the past, the imperial court to build roads, the most common practice is to work instead of endowment, that is, how much tax you have to pay this year, as long as you participate in the road construction, then the tax can be reduced or reduced, in addition, this kind of road repair organized by the imperial court is almost compulsory, is directly recruited, even if it is a busy agricultural season, as long as the imperial court gives an order, then you have to go, there is no reason to talk about.

And this time it is Xishan Township to build the road, although it is still announced by the imperial court, but you can participate freely, this is the first time for the people of Hepu County, in addition, to repair the road and also take the money to eat, this is also the first time, if it is not for the court to speak, it will definitely be considered a scam.

After confirming that this matter is true, many people have calculated in their hearts that they have to pay two or three hundred yuan a day just for food, and one hundred yuan for reprocessing, which means that they can earn three or four hundred yuan a day.

The most important point is that it is Xishan Township that builds the road.

There are hundreds of villages under the jurisdiction of Hepu County, if before, Xishan Township was not famous at all, and even some people didn't know where it was, but since the matter of the demon dragon spread in Xishan Township, although there were very few people who saw Linbei except for the people of Xishan Township, the news continued to spread out, from the beginning of Xishan Township people to catch locusts, and then the school of Xishan Township recruited students, and then went to Fushan to repair the school, and then caught the proboscis beast, everything is talked about, and people gradually discovered, The life of the people of Xishan Township is getting better and better, and they are more spiritual, which makes outsiders extremely envious.

Now Xishan Township is ready to build roads, including food, housing and wages, this treatment itself is already very attractive, plus many people want to see the legendary demon dragon in Xishan Township, so they are more enthusiastic.

In the early morning of the second day, the drum of Mao Shi had just been beaten, that is, at about five o'clock, there were already people in Hepu County who had turned on the lights, which was ready to go to the city gate early to wait.

Normally, at this time, the city gate will not be opened, and the city gate will not be opened until seven o'clock when the hour is obtained, but today is obviously different, the city gate has been opened a corner, and there are already small officials guarding the city gate to restrain the people who come.

The people who arrived early suddenly felt very lucky, glad that they came early, if they came late, I am afraid that the people are full.

An Zhongzhi took the paperwork, let these people who arrived one by one come forward, first looked at their health, there are strict zhòng defects do not accept, in addition, although there is no child labor in this era, but the age of An Zhongzhi will not accept, if they are all qualified, An Zhongzhi will write down the name of the people, and let the people put a red handprint on the paperwork, in order to pay money, which is like paying wages in modern times.

Xu Shu didn't know that there were so many people who wanted to be a people's husband, he didn't get up to wash until more than half of the hour, and there were two people with him, these two people just wanted to have a good time, to see if they could see the demon dragon, and when the three of them came to the city gate, it was exactly Chenshi, and then they were startled.

"Why are there so many people?" Seeing the crowd of people in front of him, a merchant was startled, they were still nearly twenty zhang away from the city gate, but they had been blocked, but the crowd in front of them was quiet, but someone kept shouting the next one, presumably the little official who recruited people.

This situation made Xu Shu very helpless, he used to fight as a sword ranger, if he wanted to squeeze, he would also squeeze forward, but if he really did this, it would not be Xu Shu, so he could only follow the crowd honestly.

The friend on the side stood on tiptoe and looked towards the city gate, "It seems that hundreds of people have been recruited, and I don't know if we will be full of people, if we know this, we should have gotten up a little early." ”

Xu Shu didn't speak, just waited quietly.

With the sound of 'next' and 'next' kept ringing, the crowd slowly moved forward, Xu Shu could already see the officials in front of him, what he saw was An Zhongzhi, An Zhongzhi's face was still very good, looking at it gave people a more upright feeling, although many people had been recruited at this time, but An Zhongzhi's face did not have the slightest impatience, Xu Shu nodded secretly, although he didn't know what kind of official An Zhongzhi was, but with this expression, Xu Shu also felt that Xishan Township was quite reliable.

Just thinking about it, he saw An Zhongzhi in front of him smiling bitterly and said to the person in front of him: "This little brother, you also want to be a people's husband?" I'm afraid not. ”

"Why not? I have a lot of strength. Xu Shu heard a voice, it sounded a little immature, as if he was very young, Xu Shu couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, but he didn't see the person at all.

But I heard someone in front of me laughing in a low voice: "Little doll, how old are you?" Scholars are people's husbands, this is road construction, heavy work, you little arms and legs, don't be hit by stones. ”

"I'm ten years old, I have a lot of strength, how can I not do it." The immature voice said urgently.

An Zhong smiled bitterly and looked at the little doll in front of him, this little doll said that he was ten years old, but An Zhong was very skeptical, because even if he stood on tiptoe and tried to raise his head and chest, he was only four feet tall, that is, less than one meter, and skinny, like a gust of wind could blow away, this kind of child wants to be a man to build roads? Can you pick the ground?

An Zhongzhi was not angry, and said warmly: "This little brother, you are too young, go back, let your father or brother come." ”

"I don't have any adults in my family, my lord, I can stir things, let me go, I don't need to be paid." The kid held his head high like a fighting, but his weakness was exposed in his words.

An Zhong was stunned, and suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Which of you knows this little brother?" ”

At that moment, someone said: "Listen to this voice, it seems to be Ah Shui? My lord, I do. ”

"Oh, come here."

The crowd separated, and the man stepped forward, looked at the little baby, and nodded, "My lord, this is indeed Ah Shui." He said to Ah Shui again: "Ah Shui, what are you doing here, don't go back quickly, so as not to bump into the adults." ”

An Zhong waved his hand: "It's okay, you tell me about him." ”

"My lord, Ah Shui's father's surname is Zhang, and he used to open a tofu factory, but three years ago, he and his wife died of the fever epidemic, because of the treatment, the tofu workshop was also sold, leaving only a hut for Ah Shui.

"How old is Ah Shui?"

"I should be eight years old this year." The man thought for a moment.

"Brother Dali, I am nine years old this year, and I am ten years old." Ah Shui retorted with a flushed face.

An Zhong thought about it and looked at Ah Shui: "Zhang Ah Shui, right?" Since you are so persistent, then I will tell you first, this time it is a road repair, and during the road construction period, you will be in charge of your food and accommodation, and you will be paid 100 yuan a day, and if you agree, you can come and press your handprint. ”

An Zhongzhi agreed happily, Ah Shui was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Thank you, my lord." He kept reading, then walked to the table, stood on tiptoe, and pressed his handprint with difficulty.

Xu Shu looked at the whole thing, and had a good impression of Xishan Township.

PS: The salary in the previous chapter was written incorrectly, it was a hundred dollars, not three hundred dollars.
