Chapter 171: Announcement of Election of Officials
Not long after the recruitment notice was posted, the manpower to rebuild the county office was found.
When Su Hengyu's drawings were finished, he chose an auspicious day to completely dismantle and rebuild the old county office.
The old county government had been abandoned for many years, and most of the wood inside had rotted, and a group of young and strong men could easily demolish them as soon as they started.
The next step is to remove weeds and level the land, because it will take many years for the county government to follow, and it is the façade of a county seat, Su Hengyu is very concerned about this.
Considering the problem of warmth and scarcity of wood, Su Hengyu had planned to use bricks and cement to build a new county office.
However, she did not publicize these in advance, but waited for the old county government to be demolished, and transferred half of the manpower to build a stone factory near the outskirts of the city.
There are many stones that can be used near Nanyicheng, and even the raw materials of cement can be found here.
Su Hengyu quickly led someone to make cement, and her idea was to use the construction of the county government to let everyone know about cement.
When the county government is built, it is estimated that the people of Nanyicheng will be interested in cement, and it will be much easier for her to turn cement into Nanyicheng's fist product.
She didn't tell anyone else what she thought for the time being, and although the rest of the people felt that Su Hengyu's instructions were a little strange, no one took the initiative to question them because of the daily salary of twenty yuan.
They wish the county government had been repaired for a longer period of time, so that they could also make more money.
Big Tree: They are one of them.
Originally, a few people wanted to work harder and apply for the government than the work of repairing the county government. But now that the county government has not been repaired, Su Hengyu obviously has no idea of forming a team of officials in advance.
The official is secondary, and what she needs now is an assistant who can help her with the affairs of the county.
Wang Mingxi did not follow Su Hengyu to Nanyi City this time, but went to Chaozhu City to manage the salt industry cooperated by the Wang family and Su Hengyu.
This was the task assigned to him by the Wang family, but it was only because he wanted to learn modern calculation methods by Su Hengyu's side, so he delayed it for so long.
Now that Su Hengyu is going to Nanyi City to take up his post, he plans to finish the work at hand first, explain the results to the Wang family, and then go to find Su Hengyu.
Therefore, Su Hengyu temporarily left the position of "master", the special assistant of the county, and waited for the other party to come back later, and then see if he was willing to take over.
In addition, Su Hengyu also needs to find talents suitable for serving as county officials, chief bookkeepers, canonical history and patrol inspections.
Nanyicheng has not even had a county magistrate in these years, and the serious academy has not been a shadow.
If you want to find some great talent in this kind of place, it is better to dream faster.
Fortunately, Su Hengyu never thought about such an unreliable thing, she didn't ask for anything else, just to find a few literate Puyu.
Even if the other party's writing is not very good, as long as the brain is flexible and knows how to learn and progress.
She will teach the rest slowly, and the other party can also slowly explore.
Because this time she came to her fiefdom to be an official in isolation, Emperor Wei gave her a lot of authority, and she could make many changes to Nanyi City without crossing the line.
Choosing a team for himself is also one of the preferential treatments Su Hengyu receives.
Those courtiers were not optimistic about Nan Yicheng, so even if they knew this, they didn't say much.
In their opinion, sooner or later, Su Hengyu would return to the capital in disgrace and personally kneel down to beg to take off his official position.
Therefore, in the construction of the county government in full swing, there is another big character on the notice board in front of the county yamen, which is gradually valued by everyone.
Yan Shen, who temporarily took on the position of head catcher, led his subordinates to maintain order at the scene while explaining the contents of the notice to everyone.
"Our county magistrates cherish talents, regardless of men and women, as long as they are literate and capable, feel that their own ability is enough, or are willing to improve themselves and continue to learn, they can go to Zhang's house to participate in the selection."
"Whoever passes the first round of selection, even if he fails to get an official position in the end, can still take away one or two pieces of hard-earned money. But remember, it can be both men and women, regardless of status, regardless of age. As long as there is talent, we adults are willing to give them a chance. ”
The people on Yan Shen's side had a very loud voice, and Su Hengyu asked someone to make a temporary loudspeaker, and the sound was transmitted a little more, so when he heard the news, there were suddenly more people around.
When someone heard the phrase "one or two pieces of silver", he instantly thought about it, and immediately asked the guards: "This little brother, are you telling the truth?" Even if you are not elected to be an official, as long as you go, you will be given a tael of silver? ”
"It's not that you will give silver when you go, and you will take care of the food when you go, but after the first round of assessment, you will be given one or two silver." The guard explained in a loud voice.
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, the person who asked him felt that it was not bad to be able to eat a meal for nothing.
The rest of the people naturally heard this conversation, and immediately decided to try their luck in the courtyard of the Zhang family that day.
None of the people present asked which "Zhang family" this was, after all, in the entire Nanyi City, the family surnamed Zhang and had a big courtyard that everyone knew about was too easy to recognize.
The Zhang family is the richest family in Nanyi City, and the old man of the Zhang family was originally a centurion in the Xie family's army.
The other party was wounded in a battle with the Xiongnu and could not continue to stay in the barracks, so he went home and began to do business.
The old man of the Zhang family himself did not expect that he would be so talented in business, but in just a few years, he made a lot of money with the pension silver taels given by the Xie family to the disabled soldiers.
He is a native of Nanyi City, and he is deeply grateful to the general for his great kindness, and has a deep love for this land that raised him.
So even later, his family had a lot of money, and it was clear that he could go to a more prosperous and wealthy place to buy a house and buy land, but Master Zhang did not leave, but continued to stay in Nanyi City, and sent grain, grass and clothes to Xie Jiajun from time to time.
The Zhang family is a well-known local family, so the people of Nanyi City have always had a very good sense of the Zhang family.
Now I heard that the assessment location is in Zhang's house, and this notice also said that the master of the Zhang family will also be a member of the judges.
This made many people who were still skeptical of Su Hengyu have a little more trust in the fairness of this election.
They thought, anyway, they are idle on weekdays, what if they really have that luck and become an official?
So, a large number of people secretly made up their minds and prepared to try it in the courtyard of the Zhang family.
The news of the notice was deliberately spread by the people, and it didn't take long for everyone to become known.
When the news spread far enough, in an ordinary courtyard in Shuijing Lane, accompanied by a heart-rending coughing sound, a young female voice spoke firmly:
"Dad, the day after tomorrow, I will also go to the Zhang family's courtyard to participate in the election of officials!"
