Working at the post station, it seems to be idle, but it is actually a chore.

In particular, the head of the post station, although he was named a court official, also had a detailed register in the official department.

However, the post chief has no rank and no title.

It is equivalent to a temporary worker in the imperial court.

But in such a temporary position, people rushed to rush in.

Because no matter how hard and tired it is, the term of office is only five years, and once the term expires, if you have not made a mistake during the management of the station, there is a high probability that you will be transferred and become a regular worker.

For example, Shanhu was born as a post chief at the earliest.

For the children of families with identity and background, or the second generation, it is natural to look down on the lowly job of the post station.

But for ordinary people, it's completely different, except for the Enko way, being able to work for the post station, even if it's just an errand to pour night pots for people, it's also a dream of a great errand.

Old Feng Tou may not be yet fifty years old, but he has been in the office for more than thirty years.

In other words, Lao Feng Tou was less than twenty followers, and he obtained the excellent errand that other people coveted and could completely change his fate.

According to common sense, he will be more active in the future, and strive for the opportunity to be promoted one day later, but he has been here for more than 30 years.

This is also too unreasonable.

I would like to ask which temporary worker does not want to become a regular worker.

But the world is not absolute, maybe Lao Feng Tou is pure-hearted and has few desires, and he is not interested in the so-called fame and fortune, so he may love to be a temporary worker.

Xiao Qin can only think like this, otherwise it won't make sense.

Back to the crux of the problem, through Lao Fengtou's remarks, it can also be learned that the Baihe Duan Post Station has been in the post for more than 30 years and has not been officially repaired.

Successively served as the prefect of Yunzhan Prefecture, but he didn't take this post station to heart.

This has also caused a ruined scene that now looks like an abandoned and dilapidated temple.

For this conclusion, Xiao Qin is fully able to understand and accept it.

The current status quo of the official road of the Dragon Kingdom is not only greedy, but also greedy.

Those bigwigs in the court are greedy, and the prefects of the various state capitals under the court can be any better.

Isn't Yao Qinian a ready-made example?

A prefect can sit in a private mansion of dozens of acres, and there are nearly 1,000 slaves in the mansion, just say that those 1,000 slaves, counting on the little money sent by the imperial court, I am afraid that they will starve to death long ago.

Therefore, Xiao Qin can almost conclude that the imperial court should regularly issue a special amount of silver for the repair of each section of the post station.

It's just that this special silver money has been consumed by the corrupt officials from top to bottom, and there may be little left in the hands of the prefect.

Even if it's just the meat of a mosquito's leg, when it comes to the prefect's hands, the prefect can't let it go.

As for how to repair the post station in the future, some prefects or local officials may be a little pretentious.

In the case of the White Crane Duan Station, then I didn't even do the appearance, and I didn't plan to rebuild it at all.

Xiao Qin estimated that the prefects were not afraid of this matter stabbing the court at all, after all, you are a little post master who is not even a regular worker, and you can still turn the sky upside down.

For such a situation, Xiao Qin could only sigh secretly.

The more I experience, the more deeply I can feel that the root of the disease in the Dragon Kingdom is not a day or two, and it has already been terminally ill.

Among the five major dynasties, the Dragon Dynasty, which ranks among the best in terms of economy, can represent the post station of the dynasty's façade, but it is as dilapidated as a deserted temple, such a fact, it is really difficult for outsiders to imagine.

Shanhu asked again: "Old Fengtou, according to what you said, since Yunzhan Mansion doesn't care about the post station, how has the post station been maintained for more than 30 years?" ”

Lao Feng shook his head: "I didn't say that it didn't matter, as long as there are still people at the post station, the money that should be issued will still be issued, and I will take these money to repair the post station ...... over the years."

"Then after the mother-in-law came, she planted some vegetables and fruits, and she would sell them when she came to the county market."

"Fortunately, the location of our post station is biased, and the officials passing by will not notice it, even if they come, seeing that this is the case, most of them turn around and leave, and go to find the next post station with a better situation."

"So the expenditure of the post station is actually not much, and we can barely make ends meet."

"Don't say it." Shanhu pointed in the direction of the bamboo forest: "The bamboo forest in front of you was deliberately planted by you, just to cover the post station, in order not to be discovered as much as possible that there is a post station here, so that's right." ”

"If you want to say that, my lord, you are really wronged by the old man." Lao Feng waved his hand again and again: "That bamboo forest, the old man has long wanted to cut it down, but the old man doesn't have that ability." ”

"It costs a lot of money to ask someone to cut it, and the old man is really powerless, so he has no choice but to do it."

Xiao Qin didn't speak, and he really had a biased rhetoric in his heart.

The bamboo forest is very dense, and at first glance it is not naturally formed, and it is very old.

Besides, even if Old Feng Tou is now old and can't do it, he can't afford to hire someone to cut it down.

What did you do when you were younger?

Even if you cut one a day, for so many years, it won't make the post station so tightly blocked by the bamboo forest.

But then again, even if the old Feng Tou deliberately did this, what's wrong?

The post station is different from the inn, and those who can rest at the post station are basically passing officials.

Officials and officials naturally do not need to pay for food, drink and housing.

In other words, the less the Baihe Duan Post Station is disturbed by the passing officials, the less pressure Lao Fengtou will have.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for being poor and being forced to a certain extent, who would do this?

Not only can you not blame Lao Feng, but this person is very admirable to a certain extent.

Staying in such a broken place, one guard is more than 30 years, without regrets, and even completely regards the post station as his home, and it is very likely that he will die of old age in this job in the future.

In Xiao Qin's previous life, don't you comment on the heroic deeds of a great country that moved a big country, like words?

Therefore, Xiao Qin felt that the bamboo forest should not only not be cut down, but also had to continue to expand.

This post station should not be on behalf of the official, no one cares anyway, it is best to erase it directly from the official roster.

Then the salary that should be paid to Lao Feng Tou cannot be less.

Lao Feng Tou is willing, so he will let the old couple live here and spend their old age in peace.

Love what's going on.

Why let the old Feng Tou and the old couple not only have to stay in this bitter place for the imperial court, but also have to sell vegetables to catch the market, get up early and make money greedily to stick to the post station.

I don't get a word of praise when it's over.

Mention it, oh, just that old Feng head, know a little.
