Chapter 231 Queue up
There are about 60 to [-] government servants in Taixi County, including Ning Husheng, it is barely enough.

The yamen servants selected this time are all his own fellow villagers, but Ning Changrong is not worried that some people will say that he is nepotism.

The population of Taixi County was not much in the first place, even if he was willing to choose those people who joined later, Bai Yunliang would not be at ease.

Ning Husheng and the others followed their leaders to patrol the streets to 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 out that they are arguing, the other party has stopped before they walk in.

After the leader took them to familiarize themselves with the territory, they let them patrol by themselves.

Ning Husheng and the others were assigned to the official grain store opened by Chang Yuan.

Those who can enter Taixi County have some money, and those who are penniless can only live outside the city.

There is a porridge shed outside the city. If you can't eat enough, you won't starve to death. If you want to eat enough, you can only work hard to build roads.

Only those people who are able to survive in Taixi County are allowed in for the sake of public security in Taixi County. If these people come in and are penniless, then what do they do for a living?Naturally, we can only rely on robbing, and dare not rob the official ones, then ordinary people will suffer, and the county will naturally become chaotic 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.

There are merchant lords in silk and commoners in plain linen.

The only thing they have in common is the hopeful light on their faces.

There are already two yamen servants guarding here. Seeing Ning Husheng and a few people coming over, they took over with them and left.

Perhaps it was because of the covetous look of these government servants in official uniforms, no one in the team dared to jump in line.

But after a while, another group of people came. These people watched the long line and blamed each other.

"It's all your fault. I said I came earlier, but you are still dawdling. Now that it's done, the team doesn't know when they will be able to buy it."

"What does it have to do with me, don't you agree? It's not me who is dawdling on the road!"

"Forget it, think of a way, I don't want to wait in such a long line, this has to wait until the year of the monkey?"

A young man in a fine attire looked ahead, the yamen servant maintaining law and order, he pulled a man in front of him.

"I'll give you a denarius, and you will give me your seat." The young man in Chinese clothes took out a denarius from his pocket as he spoke.

The man was a little moved, and there was a flash of struggle in his eyes, but he looked back at the long line and shook his head firmly.

"Young gentleman, please find someone else." Normally, he would not dare to refuse these well-dressed nobles, but he took a look at the yamen guards in front of him and felt a sense of security in his heart, so he finally chose to refuse.

The yamen servants here don't care what your status is, as long as you don't line up according to the rules, you will be taught a lesson, and those who refuse to change will be dragged outside to build roads.

Although the yamen servants are a little irritable, it makes ordinary people like them feel a sense of security.

The young man in Chinese clothes did not expect that this person would reject him. Just as he was about to get angry, the man next to him tugged at his sleeve. Obviously he also knew that this place was different from other places, so he suppressed his anger in the end.

Glancing at Ning Husheng, who was already staring at them, he forced a smile, "I'll give you a tael of silver, and you give me this position. One tael of silver is already a lot, I just bought your position, You continue to line up again, and you can buy food in two days at most, if you don't want to, I will find someone else."

Ning Husheng saw that the common people were surrounded by a few men in fine clothes and were tangled in their faces. He walked over with a flat tone.

He asked, "What are you doing?" If he had faced such a nobleman dressed in such a fancy dress before, he would not have dared to approach him. Maybe it was because of the clothes he was wearing, or maybe it was because of what he had seen and heard over the past year. Let him grow some courage.

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

The man in Chinese clothes froze, "Brother, I was buying a seat with him, and we didn't forcefully cut in 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." After seeing the one or two silver, he was really reluctant, and he added: "Master, I Can you sell your place to them?"

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

The man nodded happily, "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.If he agreed one step later, the person in front of him would agree to sell the position.

The few people behind the man in Washington did not line up with him. After all, they only bought a seat for one person, and they couldn't let the man in Chinese clothes buy it for them. There are rules for buying food, and each person can only Buy five buckets of rice.

But they can learn from others, and they also spent a tael of silver to buy the queue seats of those next to them.

"I didn't expect this place to be pretty good." Several people bought seats together, and they talked while queuing.

"What's wrong? You have to limit the amount of food you buy, and there's not much fresh food to eat."

"Then don't you want to think about how many times you played here before? It's pretty good to be able to recover to the present."

"That's right. The road outside is parallel and neat. I don't know what they used to repair it. The carriage will not bump when driving on it."

"I've seen it from a distance. Those things that are spread on the ground are just some mud. After drying, it becomes as hard as a rock."

"Everything else is good, but there is one thing, the control is too strict, no matter who commits a crime, they will be dragged to repair the road, and the money is not easy to use."

Although the men in Chinese clothes are not from a family of officials and officials, they are also wealthy businessmen. The basic necessities of the family are not bad. Although they have no status and cannot take science exams, their lives are still very good after spending money from local officials. of.

At least I didn't suffer.

……

"Grandma, what are you looking for?" Ning Qingxi asked curiously when she saw Wang Xiujuan rummaging through things in her room when she returned home.

Wang Xiujuan straightened her back from the warehouse, pointed to the pile of things she dug out in the corner, and said, "Isn't it the weather is getting warmer? I think these seeds have to be planted. Other fruits and vegetables are okay to say, this rice And pumpkins have to find land to grow."

Wang Xiujuan is still thinking about raising fish in her rice fields.
