270. Get to know Dong Ye
Feng Chufei's dishes came up, and she looked at her six dishes, which seemed to occupy a little too big space. She smiled apologetically, "Otherwise, let's eat together, the left and right want to go to the government office, maybe they will go together in the future." ”
"Oh? Do you also want to work in the government office? So what position do you want to do? ”
"I, I want to be a guest, and I don't know if I can do it. What about you? ”
"We all want to be a servant, in fact, I originally wanted to be a master of Shuqi, and I thought that I was still young and might not be qualified enough, so I wanted to be a servant first, and then I would find an errand first, our Yunzhou, too poor, first find a position to earn some silver, and then think about other things when it is stable."
"I don't know if I can apply, there are not too many people who apply today, that's because there is a master, some people don't dare to come out, but there are a lot of people who want to come out to work."
"You be quiet, Dongye just went upstairs." Feng Chufei reminded that it was not that she was afraid of him, but that this person had a lot of eyes, and it would not be fun to cause trouble, and besides, she came out this time mainly to investigate the situation, and did not find out the culprit or punish someone. The reason is very simple, there is no one around, she thinks that she is not the opponent of those people, hehe, this is a very big truth.
"Yes, let's wait until we finish eating and go to a place near the government office to talk about it, and then observe the person who applied for the afternoon in the afternoon, regardless of whether he can be hired, observe it first, and then have a bottom in my heart, if it can't be used here, I have to find a way to do something else." This year's harvest is not good, and if I don't find something to do, I see, I don't know how to survive this winter. ”
"Who doesn't say yes, Tai Shou is leaving, and he has added a tax of 10%, alas, I don't know how to say this, the new county lord, if you come to the tax again, I see, this people don't know how to live!"
"Didn't you hand it over this year? How can the new county lord still give up? Feng Chufei was also puzzled, could it still be like this?
"When the former Taishou first came, we also paid taxes, and after he came, he paid it again, saying that it was for the predecessor, and he was new here, so he naturally accepted the new Taishou."
"The former Taishou has actually done such a thing?"
"What? Brother, aren't you from Yunzhou? People recruit but said, only Yunzhou people can work in the government office. ”
"I am, I am, it's just that I haven't moved here for a long time, more than half a year, and I have already entered Yunzhou, and now I should be from Yunzhou."
"That's right, so that's the case, I'm afraid you won't be able to apply."
"I hope this county lord can think about the people, you look at the life of Yunzhou, it's simply impossible to live."
The man shook his head and sighed.
"What do you two call them?"
"My name is Wang Yong, his name is Li Yong, the two of us grew up together, and we are closer than brothers."
"My name is Zhao Yong, what a coincidence you see." Feng Chufei is funny, hehe, these two people are really good, simple, kind, and very upright, if they are officials, they are also good.
"Although they don't have the same surname, they have the same name, which is really a coincidence."
"Why don't you join us too, we will live on the side of the City God Temple in the east, and there is nothing we don't know when you inquire about the two of us."
"Okay, it would be better if we could serve together in the future."
"Let's eat together, since it's such a coincidence, you don't have to be polite."
"Hehe, then I'm sorry, Brother Zhao ordered more dishes, and the two of us ordered less."
"Why bother, besides, I can't eat so much alone."
The three of them had nine dishes, and in the end, they were all paid by Feng Chufei, and the two of them ordered the cheapest dishes, and they didn't spend a tael or two, and even this was the two of them who came to eat such a meal in order to ask for a lottery for the applicants.
"Let's go, please go to the teahouse."
"Brother Zhao, you look at the food money, you have paid us, let's not go to the teahouse, the two of us have a total of one or two silver, I really can't afford to invite Brother Zhao, I heard that the teahouse is a pot of several taels of silver for good tea." Otherwise, let's go to the street square and sit down, it's noon, and there are not many people. ”
"Oh, okay then, let's go and sit down."
Feng Chufei didn't shirk it, she was willing to associate with such an honest and unpretentious person. Besides, it's better to find two people to understand the situation than the ones that are hearsay.
There are really not many people in the street square, and even when they apply for jobs, they are only two guards from the Tianji Battalion watching there.
The three of them found a vacant lot not far away, and there happened to be a tree, and the three of them were in the shade of the tree, and they were not so particular, so they sat directly on the ground.
"No one applied at noon, so we're here to talk for a while."
"By the way, what's going on with that master?"
"Uncle! That's a powerful character, anyway, in Yunzhou City, there are really not many people who dare to mess with it, brother, you've been here for half a year, haven't you heard of Dongye? ”
"I'm going to take next year's scientific expedition, so I haven't been out much." Feng Chufei made an excuse for himself.
"No wonder you moved to Yunzhou, you must be thinking that it will be convenient for the scientific expedition next year, right?" Wang Yong said. He had heard of this kind of thing before, saying that there were far away places, and he had to set off to the capital a year in advance to prepare for the exam, and it was estimated that Zhao Yong was too.
"I really let you guess right, my home is far away, I am here, and I have to walk for two or three months, I am afraid of any accidents on the road, so I came to join my relatives, thinking that it would be convenient to go to Yunzhou when the time comes, but I didn't expect to go here, and my relatives were not found."
"Seeing that you are pitiful alone, it is better to move to our City God Temple, although the people there are very poor, but they help each other and care for each other, and the people are very good."
"I'll really want to consider moving there when the time is right. By the way, that master, I'm very interested, you two might as well talk about it. Seeing that these two people were off topic, Feng Chufei hurriedly turned the topic around.
"By the way, talk about that master. ”
Zhao Yong drank saliva, and then continued, "I don't know what Dongye's full name is, I only know that people have called him Dongye since I can remember, and he is about forty now, and he is a powerful person in Yunzhou." People say that Yunzhou is the Taishou of flowing water and the owner of iron. Dongye has a good relationship with the previous Taishou, and I don't know what method people use. And I don't know what he does, and he always has an endless supply of silver. In short, no matter how hard the people lived, Dongye had never suffered, and they all said that they lived the same life as the people in the capital. ”
"Don't know what to do?"
"Yes, there is no land to plant, no business to do, but people just have silver."
"So what does it mean that he Guan Yunzhou signed up to serve in the government office? 》”
"We don't know about this, but yesterday I heard that if you don't sign up, you can go to him to get the silver, and if you apply, you can get a hundred taels if you don't go."
"So what do you guys think?"
"We still want to go to the government office, the one hundred taels given by the grandfather, there will always be a time to spend it, right? But if we succeed in applying, then we will have the money every month. After a long time, isn't it much more than a hundred taels? Besides, if I give you a hundred taels of silver for no reason, I don't think it's so easy. Do you think, why should the government office have a hundred or ten people, if it is one hundred taels per person, it will be 10,000 taels according to a hundred people, even if his grandfather has more silver, can he give people 10,000 taels for nothing? I don't think it's credible anyway. Maybe you will lose your life if you take the money. ”
"Do the people around you have other ideas?"
"Yes, Jia Shuren said that he should be recruited to go to Dongye to get the silver."
"Didn't you tell them what you thought?"
"No, then Jia Shuren and we are not all the way, relying on a little kung fu, rampant in the countryside all day long, didn't he be a thug for Taishou before? When collecting taxes, I don't know how many people were kicked by that Jia Shuren. ”
Li Yong disdainfully, thinking about Jia Shuren is disgusting, but he can't beat others, and there is no better way.
"Anyway, he's not a good person, since he thinks so, we won't say it to him, we want to go. If it doesn't work, it's none of our business, and if he's the kind of person, I think it's better to die early. ”
