There are almost fifty or sixty officials in Taixi County, plus a few people from Ning Husheng, which is barely enough.

The officials selected this time were all his own fellow villagers, but Ning Changrong was not worried that someone would say that he was cronyistic.

The population of Taixi County was originally not much, and even if he was willing to choose those people to be servants, he was afraid that Bai Yunliang would not be at ease.

Ning Husheng and the others followed their respective leaders to patrol the streets and solve trivial matters.

In fact, they don't need to solve it, these days, ordinary people are afraid of wearing official uniforms, often when they find a quarrel, the other party has stopped before they have walked in.

The leader familiarized them with the territory and then let them patrol on their own.

Ning Husheng and the places they were assigned to were mainly the official grain stores opened by Chang Yuan.

The people who can enter Taixi County have some silver, and those who are penniless can only be outside the city.

There are porridge sheds outside the city, and if you can't eat enough, you won't starve to death, and if you want to be full, you can only make efforts to build roads.

Only letting those people who have the ability to survive in Taixi County come in is also for the sake of the security of Taixi County, if these people run in and are penniless, then what do they live on? Naturally, you can only rely on robbing, and if you don't dare to rob the official, then ordinary people will suffer, and the county will naturally be in chaos again.

Ning Husheng patrolled to the grain store, and there was a long queue at the door of the grain store, directly lining up two streets.

Inside the procession were merchant lords dressed in silk, as well as commoners dressed in ordinary linen.

The only thing that is the same is the glint of hope on his face.

There were already two officials guarding here, and when they saw Ning Husheng and a few people coming, they handed over their shifts and left.

Maybe it was the appearance of these officials in official uniforms around them, and no one in the team dared to cut the line.

But after a while another group of people came, and these people looked at the long line and blamed each other.

"It's all your fault, I said I came early, you're still grinding, and now the queue doesn't know when it will be ready to buy."

"What does it have to do with me, don't you agree with it? I'm not the one who is grinding on the road! ”

"Forget it, think of a way, I don't want to queue up for such a long time, this has to wait until the Year of the Monkey?"

A young man in a fancy costume looked ahead, the official who maintained law and order, and he pulled a man in front of the line.

"I'll give you a penny, and you'll give me this place." The young man in a fancy costume said and took out a penny of silver from his pocket.

The man was a little moved, and his eyes flashed with struggle, but he looked back at the long line and shook firmly.

"This little Langjun should find someone else." In normal times, he would definitely not dare to refuse these decently dressed nobles, but after glancing at the officials in front of him who maintained law and order, he felt a sense of security in his heart, and finally chose to refuse.

No matter what your identity is, as long as you don't line up according to the rules, you will all be taught a lesson, and if you don't change your ways, you will be dragged outside to repair the road.

Although the officials were a little irritable, they made ordinary people like them feel a sense of security.

The young man in the costume didn't expect this person to refuse him, and just as he wanted to get angry, the man next to him pulled his sleeve, obviously he also knew that this place was different from other places, and finally suppressed the anger.

Glancing at Ning Husheng, who was already staring at them in front of him, he barely squeezed out a smile, "I'll give you a tael of silver, you give me this position, one or two pieces of silver is already a lot, I just buy your position, you continue to row again, at most you can buy food in two days, if you don't want to, I'll find someone else." ”

Ning Husheng saw that the people were surrounded by several men in fancy clothes, and his face was entangled, and he walked over with a flat tone.

"What are you doing here?" he asked. "If he had faced a nobleman in such a gorgeous costume before, he wouldn't even dare to approach, maybe it was the clothes on his body, or maybe it was what he had seen and heard in the past year or so, which made him grow a little courageous.

He touched the knife on his waist and the clothes on his body, full of confidence.

The man in Chinese clothes looked stunned, "This big brother, I'm spending money to buy a place with him, and we didn't forcibly cut the line." Then he said to the man, "Am I right?" ”

The people were a little trembling, secretly looked at Ning Husheng's face, and said cautiously: "Yes, they want to exchange positions with me for silver." After looking at the one or two pieces of silver, he was really reluctant, and he added: "Poor master, can I sell my position to them?" ”

Ning Husheng glanced at the young man in fancy clothes suspiciously, and said to the man: "Yes, as long as you don't buy and sell, the rules are clear, right?" You give up your place to him, and you yourself can only go to the back. ”

The man nodded happily, "I know, I know, I know the rules." ”

After Ning Husheng left, the man took a tael of silver and happily ran to the back to line up. He promised one step later that the people in front of him would agree to sell the position.

The few people behind the man in Washington didn't line up with him, after all, they only bought a place for one person, and they couldn't let the man in Chinese clothes buy it for them, there were rules for buying food, and each person could only buy a maximum of five buckets of rice per month.

But they could do the same, and they also spent a tael of silver to buy the queuing seats of those people next to them.

"I didn't expect this place to be pretty good." The seats bought by several people are all together, and they talk as they row up.

"What's good? Even the amount of food you buy is limited, and there is nothing fresh to eat. ”

"Then you don't want to think about how many times you've fought here before? It's nice to be able to recover so far. ”

"Yes, the road outside is parallel and neat, and I don't know what they built it with, and the carriage won't bump when it travels on it."

"I've seen it from afar, and the things that lay on the ground are mud, and when they dry they are hard as stones."

"Everything else is fine, but there is one point, the management is too strict, no matter who commits a crime, they will be dragged to build roads, and the money is not good."

Although a few men in fancy clothes are not from a family of eunuchs, they are also rich businessmen, and their families are not bad at food, clothing, housing and transportation, although they have no status, and they cannot take the science exam, but they still live a very good life after spending money on the local magistrate.

At least I didn't suffer much.

……

"Milk, what are you looking for?" Ning Qingxi went home and saw Wang Xiujuan rummaging things in her room, and asked curiously.

Wang Xiujuan straightened up from the warehouse, pointed to the pile of things she turned out in the corner and said, "Isn't the weather about to get warmer?" I thought I had to plant all these seeds. For the other fruits and vegetables, it is better to say that the rice and pumpkin have to be planted on the ground. ”

Wang Xiujuan is still thinking about her rice field and fish farming.
