Chapter 53 Beginning to take shape
"My lord, try the side dishes made by Zhen Niang herself."
"It tastes good." Ouyang praised and asked a little puzzled: "Zhen Niang, your craftsmanship is no worse than Fumanju's, but why is the business several grades worse?" ”
"Small shop. Besides, I'm a widow with a ten-year-old doll, and the business is really good, and I can't spare time. Zhen Niang said: "Adults use it slowly, if you need to greet it." ”
"Yes! You're busy with yours. Ouyang drank and thought about things by himself. If you want to say that there are too many things to think about, these days I have been busy calculating with Liu Sinu, so I haven't calmed down and thought about it. The most important thing to think about is whether the princess's usurpation can be successful. The second thing to think about is that you don't have enough money. The third thing to think about is that the place where you live is too indiscriminate. As for Liu Sinu, Ouyang didn't think much about it. It's not worth it to hurt your brain cells against such a rich nouveau riche.
He doesn't hurt brain cells, but Liu San and Liu Sinu can be injured. I thought that this hand Tai Chi was good, but people really couldn't do it behind closed doors. Although it seems that Yangping still makes his own decisions, it is because people have not recruited anyone yet. The more Liu Sinu thought about it, the more she couldn't do it, and she couldn't do it so blatantly. The previous magistrate was pedantic and stupidly ran to reason with himself. And this person is small but shrewd, he doesn't reason with himself, and burns the roster first, so that the group of people he thinks he controls have all become people with no identity. Then recruit people to increase the salaries of the officials tenfold, and if he increases it, he will have to pay these salaries to the officials. But if one day someone really recruits someone, what's the use of raising a bunch of scoundrels by yourself? But if this group of scoundrels is not raised, they will definitely have to bite themselves back when the time comes.
Liu San also felt that it was reasonable. He also understands that his lord's control of county politics is taboo. It is not Ouzhi County, but it may also be Wangzhi County and Li Zhi County. In addition, this kid is too difficult to fight.
So an invitation was sent to Wang's Restaurant.
"Master Liu invited me to a banquet?" Ouyang smiled and put the invitation on the table: "I'm sorry, there are still a few families here who haven't made the appointment." This is the truth, even if it is an empty head to know the county, the day after he arrived, he received four invitations. Either it is a big family in the city, or an influential family, and he euphemistically states that he will definitely visit him when the county affairs are stable. These people also expressed understanding. Now the Liu family has sent an invitation...... Ouyang was not interested in dealing with the Liu Mansion.
When Liu Sinu heard that Ouyang was so faceless, she was very resentful. Liu San's eyes rolled, and a poisonous plan was immediately released.
……
In the afternoon of the next day, Opin returned from a nearby township. The head of the household and the elder are very cooperative, but it is very difficult for Ouyang to know a thousand words. Here, if you want to know so many words, you are generally a scholar, and a scholar can do some tent or something, but he is absolutely unwilling to be a servant. You must know that if you become a servant, you can't participate in the imperial examination for three generations. Even if a scholar can't get into it himself, he still thinks about his descendants and glorifying their ancestors.
Ouyang didn't expect Ou Ping to come back alone, which couldn't help but make him face up to this problem. But he didn't want to lower the bar. Fortunately, the interview two days later was attended by a lot of people.
If you want to say that the education level of the county is the high point, you generally have studied in private schools. In many cases, after two or three years, parents find out that it is not the material for studying, so they stop studying. However, no one applied for the post of female servant, and it was too difficult to find a few women who were willing to be officials and could read and write. Of course, there are also some small land~ ruffians who want to mix in it.
Ouyang looked at the twenty or so young people selected and said, "Everyone knows that the official was originally very low. A large part of the extra is posted by the county itself. So for the time being, only ten people remained. As for how to choose these ten people, the county also has a charter for everyone to be convinced. Everybody come with me. ”
When he arrived at the inner courtyard of the yamen, Ouyang took more than 20 people to visit his dilapidated residence with three entrances and three exits, and said: "When the official is fast, he is quick to catch and fast. I have more than two dozen paper balls on my side, and each paper ball has a responsible area. Whoever can organize the area on the paper ball the fastest and best is the person who will stay in the county. Of course, due to the different regional difficulties, the county will give extra points at its discretion. ”
Ou Ping took out a basin, and there was a pile of paper balls in the basin and said: "The roof repaired must not leak rain, and the cleaning room must not have dust." The best performance will be rewarded with 500 wen on the spot, 300 wen for the second place, and 200 wen for the third place. The cost of the materials required for the repair can be registered with me. ”
"I'll leave it to you." Ouyang explained to Ou Ping and went out. He believes that Opping will do a good job. Ouyang is now going to see the temporary cell next door to the county office.
watched a lot of TV, and the county official threw a sign and shouted: "Chop! "Actually, it makes a lot of sense. In the Great Song Dynasty, the profession of a county official is actually quite a police station. You can be detained and fined. But when it comes to imprisonment, confiscation, and beheading, it is a state decision. If there is such a prisoner, the county will send a prisoner to escort the prisoner and bring the paperwork to the state to hand over the errand. The state has set up a criminal department, which will review the conviction, and if the sentence is above the 'flow', it must be submitted to the criminal court for review. Not to mention the county level, even the state level does not have the right to directly cut people.
Temporary jails, on the other hand, are detention centers for prisoners who have not been admitted to the courtroom, or prisoners who need to be examined for a deferral of the circumstances of the crime and decide whether to send them to the state. Ouyang went in to see that it was dilapidated and had become a paradise for rats. Ouyang turned his head, still waiting for the next batch of people to be recruited.
Then Ouyang went to the blacksmith shop, and the blacksmith looked at the handcuff picture drawn by Ouyang and said that this thing could be made, but he couldn't make the lock. And if you want to be of good quality, the price will be high. Ouyang said that he could not use the lock, and the quality should be good, so he ordered two pairs. Then Ouyang went to visit a few casinos, played a few casually, and won a few hundred wen and left. For the time being, he won't start on these places, he just came to see, and the professional name is stepping on points.
Then I went to two green buildings, Fengyang Building. It sounds like a restaurant, but every time I open it, I understand the meaning. There are two brothels in Yangping, and Ou Ping, a drama phoenix building, has been there before, which is quite average.
There are no official slaves on these two floors, but there are many civilian slaves. After Ouyang inquired, he learned that most of the parents could not afford to pay off their gambling debts or for other reasons, so they sold their daughters into the Qinglou. There are also those who sell themselves to support their families, and there are those who pursue a comfortable life voluntarily. Although the two are ashamed to be inferior to Master Li and Mingqing in a big city, they are not bad.
On this day, I also visited various rice shops, shops, and even Yizhuang in the suburbs. went out early in the morning, and Ouyang returned to the county government at the first light. When I arrived at the inner hall, my eyes lit up. Rather, they are all talents, and more than a dozen large small houses have all been repaired neatly, the pond has been expanded to the back door according to the requirements, and all the debris in the well has been cleaned up.
Ouyang explained to Ou Ping: "The ten people who have been selected will go to work tomorrow, and each person who is not selected will be paid 300 salaries." ”
In this way, the prototype of the yamen was finally established. The next day, Ouyang arranged a two-shift system, announced some bottom lines, and was fired on the spot after the bottom line. All the officials were convinced.
On the third day, after the healing of his wounds, Ganxin began to take on the duties of the chief bookkeeper. In this way, Yangping County Ya has finally begun to take shape.
"Young master, it's not a way to post money like this." Although he had some savings, although it was not yet the end of the month, Ou Ping began to worry about it first, and the salary of this official was too high.
"What's the hurry. Let's hold on for a few months. Ouyang said unhurriedly.
"My lord, it's not good." Gan Xin hurriedly took a document and ran in and said, "Something is wrong, my lord." ”
