Chapter 65: Planning the Population
"Let's go! Let's go to the county magistrate's mansion," Li Cheng said, and then the three of them slowly walked towards the county office.
This is not without purpose, he came with a purpose this time, when he just entered the city and saw those scattered people, he had some thoughts in his heart, these people are thin and yellow, at a glance, they know that they are not full, and it is caused by long-term lack of food, this kind of skin abnormality, and there are quite a few people, a cursory look, there are about 10,000 or 20,000 people.
Li Cheng doesn't lack anything now, he lacks labor, these people are simply free labor given to him by God, oh, no, it's not free labor, the wages must be given to them, and Li Cheng can't do the things that squeeze the workers.
But if you want these people to work in Xiaohe Village, it is not a matter that can be decided in a word, some necessary procedures are still necessary, among which the order of the county order is the most important, even in the remote place where the emperor is far away, the transfer of city residents must follow the law of the county official, otherwise it will be very troublesome to investigate afterwards, and it will be bad if you put on a big hat of rebellion.
Li Cheng came with sincerity, as soon as he saw the county order, Li Chengcheng took out 50 taels of white silver, didn't say anything, and let the county order accept it first.
It's a wonderful person.
Zhang Xian ordered to accept the silver taels, and commented in his heart.
"Little boy, what are you talking about today?" Sure enough, although money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible, money can make ghosts grind, this wisdom works no matter where it is, and the smiling look of the county order is the best proof.
If there is no 50 taels of silver to open the way, let alone see the face of the county order's hippie smiling face, even if you want to see him, I am afraid it will be difficult, Li Cheng has to sigh again about the decay and inadequacy of feudal society, but there is no way, you can't be in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
Even with the help of the Celestial Shadow System, in this era as vast as the sea, his weight is still not enough to reverse the pattern of the whole world, and the world values, outlook on life, and socialist core values from the whole world.
Therefore, at the moment, it is best to only live a good life, whether you can change this matter is not mentioned, even if you have the ability to change, it is not an overnight thing, maybe this thing can be done through the Sky Shadow system, but if you want to make it perfect in your lifetime, it is obviously unlikely, this kind of thinking has been put in people's thoughts, deeply rooted for thousands of years, where is it so easy to change easily?
Although this thing is a little unauthentic, but the county master does not agree, the fifty taels of silver are enough to make him crazy, this is a world that sees money, 50 taels of silver is enough for him to do a lot of things, as long as it is not a major event involving rebellion, he can almost call the shots, for the 50 taels of silver.
With the approval of the county order, Li Cheng didn't stay in the county government too much, this thread tooth is not so much faith, but a simple house, there is no second floor, and it is not even as exquisite as the first floor of Yuelai Restaurant, Li Cheng doesn't like to stay here, he will definitely not stay for a second longer if he can take a step earlier.
"Little Liuzi, Hongluan, you wait for me here." Li Cheng said to the two of them, he turned around and went back to Yuelai Restaurant, then took out a pen and paper, and squandered them seriously.
He was writing a notice, a notice to be precise, and this time, Li Cheng was going to recruit workers for the entire city.
Although the benefits are clearly written and obvious, Li Cheng can't help but be a little worried about whether this cross-era recruitment method can be recognized by people in this era.
About a moment later, Li Cheng finished writing a recruitment notice of more than 600 words, because it was written with a brush, and most of its words were regular, which is not to blame Li Cheng, but he didn't practice much calligraphy in his previous life, and it was already good to be able to write a word, where to ask for those neat things?
"Hongluan, you come in first."
"Yes, Childe." Hongluan responded to the call. "What do you command?"
Li Cheng looked at Hongluan and asked, "How is your calligraphy handwriting?" Can you give me a copy of this one, I'll be useful later. ”
He put the notice he had just written in front of Hongluan and gestured.
"This? Childe, who wrote this? Why is it so crooked? Hongluan took a look at the notice, and her disdain was undisguised, although she had now been sold into slavery, but once as a scholar, of course, her knowledge was extraordinary, and she had also observed many of everyone's masterpieces, which was a kind of sentiment and cultivation like mountains and flowing water. And the notice that Li Cheng gave him was written crookedly, and it was not even as good as that written by a beginner child.
Uh, that's not going to happen, is it?
Li Cheng's old face flushed, he couldn't see it at this time, Hongluan was disgusting his font, but he couldn't complain about others, who called him extremely poorly written.
"This is written by a little kid in our village, I originally wanted to copy it again, but now I don't feel much in my heart, I can't enter the realm of selflessness of writing, it just so happens that I see you are okay at this time, so I want you to help copy it, and we can use it in a while."
Li Cheng was really embarrassed to death, he didn't take it out if he knew it, and read it directly to Hongluan, why should he suffer himself.
"Oh, then please wait a while, the slave family will be fine for a while." Hongluan did not feel strange and suspicious of Li Cheng's words, because after all, no matter what aspect Li Cheng looked at, he was a perfect man, and this kind of ugly font would only come from the hands of such an ugly man, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy, and it would be impossible for Zhu Bajie to return to Gao Laozhuang.
A moment later, under Hongluan's pen, a beautiful notice reappeared in front of Li Cheng's eyes, different from the scribbled handwriting he wrote before, this is an article that looks extremely delicate and cool, making people just look at this word and say hello, which invisibly adds a lot of impression points.
"Childe, what kind of notice is this? Is all of the above true? Hongluan asked suddenly, her eyes were full of disbelief, she was completely shocked when she copied this notice, no matter what kind of light thing was written, it would make people bankrupt, but this kind of thing that can make people bankrupt, Childe He actually listed dozens of large and small.
That's not true, is it? Yes, that's not true. Hongluan thought to herself.
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Of course what is above is true, otherwise why would I let you copy it?" Let's go! Now let's get out, it's time for this notice to see the light of day again."
Hongluan can have such doubts, and he understands why, it's not a big deal.
In addition to others, the vision is different, the pattern is different, and it is meaningless to explain more, and it is troublesome to directly pick out the explanation of the province.
"Oh, by the way, little Liuzi," Li Cheng shouted, "put this paper out and spread it widely." ”
"Okay, don't worry, Childe, this matter is on me." Xiao Liuzi patted his chest and said.
Then, he found a wooden board, fixed the written paper on it, and then took the wooden board and went out of the restaurant, and put the wooden board on the small square.
Immediately attracted some curious people to look over, but no one dared to come, Xiao Liuzi smiled after doing all this, and left.
The sons are still around, he must go back to the son to serve, and he doesn't have to worry about things here.
As soon as he left, the people came over, looking at the notice and were stunned, this Nima looked left and right, looked up and down, although the handwriting looked like a beautiful work, but what is this writing?
"Hey! Anyone who knows how to read, read what is written on it? ”
In ancient times, there were many horses and scarce food and grass, especially for people in remote places, and it was a luxury to let a group of people who were struggling on the hunger line be literate.
At this moment, an old man walked out, it was Liu Lao, about fifty years old, one of the few people who knew how to read in Bicheng, and he was also a Beijing official who was exiled from the capital.
"Three copper coins a day? Eat and lodging, pay your salary?! ”
Liu Lao was really frightened, his beard was blown up, and his face turned red, it was a surprise.
"What, three copper coins a day? Mr. Liu, please read it quickly. ”
"Ahem, cough, that's the case..."Liu Lao came back to his senses slightly, and read aloud, "There is a noble son here, and he is now preparing to recruit six teachers who are literate and hyphenated, after the interview is successful, the monthly salary is fifty copper coins, one bucket of high-grade polished rice or three buckets of medium rice food, including food and accommodation, and those who are interested can now go to Yuelai Restaurant for an interview." ”
Liu Lao read this, although many people flocked to this rich reward, they could only smile bitterly, Mr. Teach, that is necessary literacy, but how can they who can't even eat enough to read such a noble thing? There is simply no possibility.
But there are always exceptions, there are many people who have heard this and are ready to move, although their family is not rich now, but they used to be a wealthy family, teaching and literacy is naturally not a problem, originally wanted to be a teacher in this city as a living, but however, this is a civilian kiln, people can't even eat, and who is willing to spend money to ask Mr. Jiaoshu to read and write?
What do you say literacy can do? Officer? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, people like us in exile can't participate in the imperial examination, but if you are exiled here, you can't even think about this kind of thing.
So, what's the use of being able to read? Isn't it good to have a few dollars to buy something to eat? Why spend on this wrongful study?!
