After clocking out of get off work, Ning Changrong walked home quickly.

"Daniu, go and inform the heads of all households that my family will gather after dinner tonight, and if you need anything, you can find them." Ning Changrong said.

"Okay!" Ning Daniu said concisely.

After Ning Changrong was safely sent home, he went to work.

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

"Is there any good thing for Evergreen to come to us?"

"What do you want? Now that everyone's work has been arranged, what more good things do you want?"

"I really envy Daniel that he can follow Evergreen every day. Daniel now eats at the public house. Once I saw Daniel passing by. The soldiers who supervised our work were very respectful to Daniel."

"Who says it's not? When we fellows from Changrong went to work, those soldiers were very polite to us."

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

"It's not so bad. When I was selling tofu, I met a man who didn't have long eyes. He knocked my tofu apart and didn't want to pay for it. When the passing soldier heard that I was from Changrong, he asked why. If you don't say anything, let someone pay me for it. If we had encountered such a thing before, where would we go to seek justice? Those officers and soldiers would not care about us!"

Listening to the sparse voices below, Ning Changrong felt that he was almost there.

"Have all the people in charge come here?"

"Come here, come here, everyone is here, Changrong, just tell me if you have anything to do."

Ning Changrong smiled, "This time I have something good to ask everyone."

"Hahaha, I knew it was good for Evergreen to find us!"

"Okay, everyone just listen to Chang Rong!" 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 knows that after the beginning of spring, many people have come to our county one after another. Many of them are from the north and some from the south. Most of us live here are military members. You may not feel so clearly. Others The population is mixed, and there are more thieves. There are too many people and there are not enough manpower, so our county is going to recruit some more reserve yamen servants."

"If you can read, you can also be a petty official."

When everyone heard that they could be government servants, they immediately exploded.

Later, if they could read and write, they could be a petty official. They knew that a petty official was probably a better position than a yamen servant.

But none of us can read, no, there is one person who can read.

"Evergreen, can I be a petty official if I can read?" Village Chief Ning asked, raising his hand.

Ning Changrong originally wanted to recruit these people as petty officials, but later he couldn't think of setting a precedent. After all, these people are illiterate, and they still have to read some words to be officials, so they were directly recruited as government servants, saying It can be established, but it is just to give these people a hope and let them be more literate.

But I didn't expect Village Chief Ning to refuse to accept his old age.

Ning Changrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle, you are already over 50."

Village Chief Ning was unconvinced, "What's the matter? I'm pretty strong. I usually use a walking stick because the road is uneven. The county is full of bluestone slabs, so I don't even need a walking stick."

"Changrong, I know what you mean. You want us people to reconcile the situation in the county. I am old and I am old. Old age proves that I have rich experience. You also know that I have been the village head for so many years. Now, I have some experience in managing these trivial matters, don't worry, if you let me be this little official, I will assign me to be able to do it!"

Village head Ning's eyes are full of expectations. The village head of Nanchen is not an official. Also pie in the sky.

Ning Changrong felt that what Village Chief Ning said was quite reasonable. He didn't recruit government servants to suppress those people by force. If he really wanted to use force to suppress them, they didn't need them.

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

"Okay, Uncle, I'll give you this chance, but I'll say it first. If you don't do well, you will be sued to me, and I won't let you down! Let me talk about my ugly words first, and don't say that I would rather Evergreen doesn’t show affection. The same goes for everyone else.”

Village head Ning blushed with excitement, and Ning Changrong looked at him worriedly, fearing that he would collapse from a cerebral hemorrhage.

Fortunately, Village Chief Ning is indeed in good health as he said.

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

"Okay, okay, Changrong, don't worry, I appointed you to do it well, and if you can't do it well, you will do business."

The others are boiling over, Village Chief Ning is so old, how can he still be a petty official? !
Small officials are also very important officials to them, in charge of their taxes, corvee, household registration, fields...

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

You can only swallow the bitterness.

Many people are beginning to regret, why are they illiterate?When they were in the mountains, Ning Qingxi also said several times that everyone should learn to read and write, but they were so busy at that time, how could they care about it?No one mentioned it anymore.

Fortunately, there are government servants available!
"Changrong, what do you want from the yamen servant? Do you think I can do it?" Mrs. Lai's youngest son was the first to speak cleverly.

Ning Changrong laughed angrily, "You are lazy in everything you do, you can't be a government servant."

Moreover, he suspects that if Mrs. Lai's youngest son really becomes a yamen servant, he will become a bully who bullies the market. If someone stabs him at that time, he will lose all his face.

"That's right, why don't you be lazy, boy? Being a yamen servant is not an ordinary job, you can't do it, and you can't even hold a knife with your small arms and legs, right? Evergreen, I have great strength! I'll go! "

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

As long as there are fifteen, it is impossible for many people to get the position of Yamen servant.

"What? Only fifteen? Evergreen, I am very strong! I can also talk at ordinary times! I will!"

"Who doesn't have much strength? Everyone is not 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, everyone, stop arguing, big brother Li, second brother Li, third brother Li, Ning Miao, Ning Husheng, Ning Changgui of the Li family..."

Ning Changrong said fifteen names in one breath.

"For the time being, these are the people. Don't be too happy about being selected. If someone says you can't do a good job, I can send you back at any time!"

"Don't be too sad if you are not selected. If these people are returned, you may be made alternates."

In fact, Ning's second brother is not suitable, the other party has a lot of strength, but still lacks some communication, but who makes the other party his second brother?Ning Changrong decided to give him a chance.
