Chapter 229: Old Man Grows Stronger

After clocking in and getting off work, Ning Changrong walked home briskly.

"Da Niu, you go and inform the heads of each family that after dinner in the evening, my family will gather and find them if there is something." Ning Changrong said.

"Good!" Ning Da Niu said concisely.

After sending Ning Changrong home safely, he went to work.

After dinner, Ning Changrong's family gathered another group of people.

"Is there anything good that Evergreen is looking for us?"

"What do you want? Now that everyone's work is arranged, what more good do you want? ”

"I really envy that Da Niu can follow Evergreen every day, Da Niu is now eating public meals, once I saw Da Niu passing by, those soldiers who supervised our work were respectful to Da Niu."

"Who's to say it isn't? When we, the Evergreen fellow villagers, went to work, those soldiers were very polite to us. ”

"Yes, we don't have to worry about being deducted money for this job, and no one dares to deduct money from us."

"It's not a thing, when I went out to sell tofu, I met a person who didn't have long eyes, and I didn't want to pay for my tofu when I broke it up, and the soldier who passed by heard that I was a fellow villager of Evergreen, and after asking the reason, I didn't say a word and let people compensate me clearly, if we encountered this kind of thing before, where to find reason? Those officers and soldiers won't care about us! ”

Ning Changrong listened to the sparse voice below, and felt that the person was almost there.

"All the housekeepers are here, right?"

"It's coming, it's all here, Evergreen, you can tell me what you want."

Ning Changrong smiled, "This time there is something good to look for everyone." ”

"Hahaha, I knew that Evergreen was looking for us for a good thing!"

"Okay, let's listen to Evergreen quietly!" Although Village Chief Ning is no longer the village chief, he is the oldest, and everyone still respects him very much.

Ning Changrong watched everyone quiet down before continuing to speak.

"Everyone also knows that after the beginning of spring, a lot of people have come to our county one after another, many of them are from the north, and some are from the south, most of the places we live in are military families, you may not feel so clearly, other ways of population are mixed, there are more petty thieves, there are more people, and there are not enough people and it is not easy to manage, so our county is ready to recruit some reserve officials."

"If you are literate, you can also be a small official."

As soon as everyone heard that they could be officials, they immediately exploded.

Later, when they heard that they could become a clerk if they were literate, they knew that the clerk was probably in a better position than the servant.

But no one of them can read, no, there is one person who is literate.

"Evergreen, can I be a small official if I am literate?" Village Chief Ning raised his hand and asked.

Ning Changrong originally wanted to recruit these people as small officials, but later he didn't think well of this precedent, after all, these people are illiterate, and they still have to know some words as officials, so they directly recruited them as officials, saying that they can be established, but it is just to give these people a hope and make them more literate.

But I didn't expect that Village Chief Ning would not accept old age even when he was old.

Ning Changrong couldn't cry or laugh, "Uncle, you are already in your fifties." ”

Village Chief Ning was not convinced, "What's wrong with that?" My body is also quite strong, and I carry crutches on weekdays because the road is uneven, and there are bluestone slabs in this county, so I don't even need crutches. ”

"Changrong, I know what you mean, you want us people to probably want to reconcile the situation in the county, I am old and have the advantage of being old. Being old proves that I am experienced, and you also know that I have been the village chief for so many years, and I also have some experience in managing these trivial things, you can rest assured, you let me be this little official, I will designate me to do a good job! ”

Village Chief Ning is full of expectations, Nan Chen's village chief is not an official, he is a small official who can be exploited at will, and now there is this opportunity to be an official, although he is only a small official, but it is also a pie in the sky for Village Chief Ning.

Ning Changrong felt that what Village Chief Ning said was quite reasonable, he didn't want to suppress that group of people by force, if he really wanted to use force to suppress them, he didn't need them, and those officers and soldiers could go directly.

It is mainly a reconciliation and management, and the village chief Ning has been in charge of the people of a village for so many years, and he has some experience in the relationship between people.

"Okay, uncle, I'll give you this opportunity, but I'll say okay first, if you don't do a good job, I'll be sued to me, and I won't release the water!" I'll say ugly things first, don't say that I'd rather Changrong be unsympathetic. The same goes for everyone else. ”

Village Chief Ning's face was flushed with excitement, and Ning Changrong looked at him worriedly, for fear that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage.

Fortunately, Village Chief Ning is indeed as he said, and his body is quite strong.

After getting Ning Changrong's permission, all his happy teeth were exposed, revealing the gums that only had a few teeth left.

"Okay, Evergreen, don't worry, I will do it well, if you don't do it well, you will do it officially."

The others are boiling, the village chief Ning is an old man, and he can still be a small official?!

The little officials are also great officials to them, and they are in charge of their taxes, forced labor, household registration, and land......

If they use the grain to pay taxes, if they are not satisfied, they can kick off half of your grain at will and let you make up for it.

You can only swallow this bitterness.

Many people are beginning to regret why they are illiterate? When Ning Qingxi was in the mountains, he also said a few times that everyone should learn to read and write, but they were so busy at that time, where could they take care of it? Later, no one mentioned it again.

Fortunately, there are still officials to be servants!

"Evergreen, what do you want from the officials? Do you think I can do it? Lai's youngest son was the first to speak.

Ning Changrong smiled angrily, "You are lazy in everything, you can't be a servant." ”

And he suspected that if Lai Pozi's youngest son really became a servant, he would become a bully who bullied the market, and if someone stabbed him at that time, then he would really lose face.

"It's just, why aren't you lazy? Being a servant is not one of those ordinary jobs, you can't do it, and you can't even hold a knife with your little arms and legs, right? Evergreen, I have a lot of strength! I'll go! ”

Ning Changrong raised his hand to suppress everyone's voices, "Being a servant may face petty theft, so it takes some strength, but you must also be able to speak, be smart, and deal with problems such as quarrels in the county, as long as fifteen." ”

As long as there are fifteen, then many people will not be able to get the position of servant.

"What? Only fifteen? Evergreen, I have a lot of strength! I usually talk! I should! ”

"Who doesn't have the strength? None of you are dumb! ”

After getting along with these people for two years, he still knows everyone very well, and he already has the answer in his heart.

"Okay, okay, let's stop fighting, the Li family's eldest brother Li, second brother Li, third brother Li, Ning Miao, Ning Husheng, Ning Changgui......"

Ning Changrong said fifteen names in one breath.

"For the time being, these are the people. Don't be too happy that you've been chosen, and if someone says you're not doing well, I'll always be able to get you back! ”

"Don't be too sad if you don't get selected, if these people are returned, you may be put on alternate."

In fact, Ning Lao Er is not suitable, the other party has a lot of strength, but there is still some lack of communication, but who let the other party be his second brother? Ning Changrong decided to give him a chance.
