After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Zhou Houfang also smiled and said to Pang Xiaohua: "Speaking of which, I am still the third to last person who came in. No matter how we came in, even if we are the last one to come in, as long as you come in and work well for the city lord, who cares whether you are How many?"

Qian Zhenniang smiled and said: "Secretary Zhou makes a lot of sense. We don't look at test scores here, only your grades after taking office. Song Luo, where are you going to get a job?"

Song Luo said with a smile: "My grades are in the middle and lower reaches, so now I can only go to Xiaoshui Village to be the first village chief."

Qian Zhenniang raised her eyebrows, "The job of the first village chief is not easy. What's more, you are still a little girl, can you control the people in the village?"

Song Luo patted his chest and said, "Secretary Qian, don't look down on people. The city lord didn't say not to bring relatives to take office, right? I'm going to bring my grandma with me. Anyway, I have to fulfill my filial piety to her, so I just took her to take office. My grandma When I was young, I was the most famous shrew in our village. If there was anyone who disobeyed discipline, I would deal with it. As for me, I would be the bad guy, and my grandma would be the red face. I would make sure that the villagers behaved and listened to me. of."

The people at the table were shocked.

What, how else can this be done?

Even Qian Zhenniang was speechless at this moment.

You want to say that Song Luo did something wrong. It seems to be true. There is no rule that he cannot bring his relatives to the office. Besides, people brought grandma with them and settled her in a household. Nai became a local villager. The local villagers helped the first village chief maintain public order and so on. I couldn't tell what was wrong.

You have to say that she is right. This sounds serious and sounds like using power for personal gain.

What kind of selfishness is there to seek?
Isn't it for the sake of publicity?

This going around and around made everyone dizzy.

Qian Zhenniang thought about it, but she couldn't find anything wrong with Song Luo, so she could only smile and said: "You are quite good at taking advantage of loopholes. If you were someone else, you would definitely be reprimanded, but because you are young, I am afraid that you will go there If you can't control it, I won't criticize you. Just don't make any noise!"

"Hey!" Song Luo responded happily.

Zhou Houfang was very curious about Pang Xiaohua. She had met Pang Xiaohua’s father-in-law and husband, so she knew how difficult it was for Pang Xiaohua to become an official from the countryside, so she always felt sorry for her. Two points of affection.

"Sister Pang Pang, what about you?"

Qian Zhenniang immediately clicked her, "Secretary Zhou, you have to get used to addressing each other by title when working, otherwise others will think that we are distant and distant from each other."

Zhou Houfang immediately learned the lesson and changed his words: "Propaganda Pang."

Pang Xiaohua said a little shyly: "We were selected based on scores. When it was my turn, there was only one propaganda person left in Chaoyun Village."

Zhou Houfang expressed that she had never heard of this place, "Chaoyun Village? Where is it?"

Song Luo also had the same expression.

Qian Zhenniang said slowly: "At the border of Ye County, close to Xingyuan Mansion. They climbed over a mountain and reached Xingyuan Mansion. It is considered a wealthy village. The disaster situation last year was not very serious. But that location is more Sensitive, after all, it relies on the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the Great Zhou Dynasty sends troops, they will definitely pass through Chaoyun Village. Propaganda Pang, the responsibility on your shoulders is not light."

Zhou Houfang was a little surprised. It seemed that Qian Zhenniang knew the topography of Jinzhou Mansion well.

Not only is the location of Chaoyun Village clear, but also its internal conditions are well understood.

It seems that the Jinzhou Government has done a very solid job in government affairs.

In this aspect alone, the Zhou Dynasty was far inferior.

Zhou Houfang added another task to herself. She had to familiarize herself with the situation in Jinzhou Mansion as soon as possible, at least to be like Qian Zhenniang, who could talk about every corner of Jinzhou Mansion fluently.

Pang Xiaohua obviously didn't expect this level, and she became a little nervous.

Qian Zhenniang asked again: "Chaoyun Village is two days' journey from your Fanjia Village. Can your husband support you?"

A red cloud appeared on Pang Xiaohua's face, "My father-in-law asked him to accompany me to take office. Today, after he reported in with me, we went there together."

Song Luo said: "Prosecutor Pang, your husband is really kind to you!"

Pang Xiaohua blushed and said nothing.

Zhou Houfang, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.

Qian Zhenniang was thinking that this Pang Xiaohua seemed too quiet and reserved, and wondered whether she could hold such an important position.

Song Luo was carefully checking Qian Zhenniang's expression. Her little thoughts were clearly visible. Qian Zhenniang really liked this shrewd little girl and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't look at me like that." , I can hardly eat anymore."

Song Luo scratched his head and smiled "hehe", "What, Secretary Qian, can I ask, what exactly do we people do when we go to the village? I looked at the first village chief, isn't that what he did? Is it the village chief’s job?”

Qian Zhenniang slowly took two mouthfuls of rice.

Zhou Houfang instantly felt that half of them seemed to be quiet all of a sudden. Everyone was listening with eager ears.

This is key information.

Qian Zhenniang cleared her throat and said word by word: "There are many things that can be done. Soon, we will study the corresponding assessment standards and issue them to you for implementation. But I can give you some advice first,"

Zhou Houfang now felt that everyone on the second floor of the cafeteria was quiet.

"We now have several main assessment indicators. The first one is the per capita tax. You should know the per capita tax. It is the total tax of a village divided by the living population in the village. It is used to measure the wealth of a village. You The first indicator can be regarded as an economic indicator, used to evaluate whether you have increased the income of villagers. I don’t care what method you use, whether it is to discuss cooperation with breeding plants, discuss sales with cement manufacturers, or engage in planting, in short Let the villagers get rich. Whether the villagers have money in their pockets is the most important assessment indicator."

"Secondly, it is to promote education for all. Literacy rate and literacy class passing rate are the second important indicators."

"The third one is planting. You have to manage all the yields in the land. What is produced in the land, what is produced, how to increase production, and how to make the villagers eat well are the third important indicators. As for the fourth and fifth , we are still studying it. The complete assessment details will be sent to you soon, please remember to study it carefully."

"Also, we will have an assessment ranking at the end of the year. If you and your village can be at the top, just wait for promotion and salary increase." Qian Zhenniang smiled and patted Song Luo, who had a petrified face, "Young man, try hard."

After Qian Zhenniang finished speaking, she started to eat calmly.

Zhou Houfang clearly felt the "crackling" heartbreaks of the people around her.

Even Zhou Houfang herself swallowed hard and shed tears of sympathy for the incoming county magistrates, village chiefs, and propagandists.

We are both fallen people from the end of the world.

Song Luo felt that the meal in front of him suddenly became tasteless.

But soon, she suddenly started to eat the rice quickly, as if she was going to fight. Facing the curious eyes of others, Song Luo gritted his teeth and said, "It's too late. I'll go to Director Ming now and ask him." Standardized breeding. I must grab the quota for the first pig farm in our village!"

As soon as Song Luo finished speaking, the man named Lu Shiwen who had spoken to Zhou Houfang earlier put down his plate and walked out quickly.

The man next to him asked him: "Brother Lu, why don't you eat?"

Lu Shiwen, however, seemed to be fleeing, rushing out faster and faster.

"No!" Song Luo yelled and quickly threw down his plate, "Mr. Lu, you are despicable, you actually took the lead from me——"

After that, both of them ran outside.

This was a big deal. Seeing this, the others came to their senses and looked at each other. Then they all lowered their heads and started eating rice frantically, as if they were in a hurry. Then they only heard the sound of plates being placed on the dining table one by one, and then a dozen or two Ten young people rushed out.

Zhou Houfang heard the woman guarding the door of the cafeteria shouting: "Why did you confiscate the plate and run away again——"

Zhou Houfang felt her scalp numb, and then looked at Qian Zhenniang in confusion, "These people...won't they all go to the person in charge of the breeding plant?"

Qian Zhenniang was a little gloating, "It's over, Director Ming doesn't want to go anywhere today."

Pang Xiaohua looked a little at a loss. She didn't seem to know what she should do. Qian Zhenniang ordered her: "Don't be afraid. After you go, the propagandist will cooperate with the village chief's work. If you go, the previous section will If you really don’t know what to do with time, you can go to the villagers’ homes and get to know the situation. What is the situation in each villager’s home? How many children do they have, how many chickens and pigs they raise, and whether they meet the conditions for work. You should find out first. This way, you will know immediately what policies Jinzhou Government has and who they apply to in the village."

After being pointed out like this, Pang Xiaohua immediately found the direction. Her uneasiness on her face eased slightly, and she said with some emotion: "Thank you, Secretary Qian."

After lunch, Zhou Houfang felt even more stressed.

The people below are all working so hard, let alone her, who ranks last in overall grades? Sure enough, the people under Xu Zhenying are very different.

Although each of them is young and immature, they are ambitious, willing to learn and brave, and full of brand-new vitality!
This made Zhou Houfang feel his blood surge and his scalp numb.

She looked at Qian Zhenniang next to her, seemingly lacking in confidence, "Secretary Qian, when will I become as handy as you?"

Qian Zhenniang smiled. She looked at Zhou Houfang who was a little at a loss and seemed to be reminded of her former self.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I am the least qualified among the old people brought out by the city lord."

Zhou Houfang was stunned. Seeing her disbelief, Qian Zhenniang continued: "Seriously. At that time, I was even softer than the Pang Xiaohua you just saw. I was just a mess, and anyone could step on me a few times. .When something happens, I have no idea, I just blame others."

Qian Zhenniang couldn't help but smile when she talked about the past, "It was the city lord. She didn't think I was vulgar and never gave up on me. She spent several times more time than others teaching me to be self-reliant and self-reliant. So I am very grateful to her."

Zhou Houfang was speechless for a moment.

At the same time, she also discovered that the people under Xu Zhenying were completely loyal to her.

"Eat quickly. There is a conference the day after tomorrow. We have to prepare materials in advance."

Zhou Houfang's heart was pounding, "What do I need to prepare?"

"First of all, you take out the list of participants and make sure everyone is notified. Secondly, there is the conference work, arranging the seats and venue, and posting the seating list outside. Finally, you have to be familiar with the topics of discussion this time. The city will be planning to discuss it in the near future. The administrative system of Jinzhou Prefecture will be sorted out clearly. Everyone will have to speak when the time comes, and it will be fully discussed at the meeting, so you need to be familiar with the administrative structure of past dynasties, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with other people's speeches. "

Zhou Houfang nodded and remembered this matter again.

"Also, you must become familiar with writing with a pencil as soon as possible. You must also carry the booklet I just gave you with you. Write down anything in time. The City Lord sometimes has a bad memory, and you need to remind you of many tasks. There are also meetings. , you have to take meeting minutes, which are the focus of everyone's speech, and materials must be formed afterwards. Only by straightening out the administrative system can the people below start working. So in the next ten days, you probably won't be able to rest. "

Zhou Houfang felt cold sweat break out behind her back. She quickly took out a pamphlet and pencil from her arms and wrote down everything Qian Zhenniang said.

Qian Zhenniang saw that she was struggling to write crookedly and said, "There is no way, just practice more. There is no skill in pencil calligraphy, but practice makes perfect. You can even write calligraphy with brush, pencil calligraphy will definitely not be a problem for you, you can master it after a few days of writing. ”

Zhou Houfang struggled to write down the words about meetings, familiarity with the administrative system, and seating charts in the booklet.

"Hey, I don't want to put pressure on you, but I guess I won't be able to stay for a few more days, so I have no choice but to teach you as soon as possible. By the way, there are also soldier management rules and medical industry management rules later, you remember Urging the city lord, Doctor Qiu has written to me several times."

Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Houfang's forehead.

Facing the completely unfamiliar words that popped out of Qian Zhenniang's mouth, she had a hard time parrying them.

Qian Zhenniang patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be too anxious, just take it step by step. Don't worry, the city lord is a very easy person to get along with. You will know it after a while."

Zhou Houfang could only smile and nod.

But how could I not be anxious?

Although Zhou Houfang is a woman, she has always been high-spirited, especially in matters of talent and learning. She thinks she is as good as a man.

When she was in her boudoir, she often thought that women just didn't have a chance to get ahead. If there was a chance, she would definitely be able to prove that women are no worse than any men.

Now the opportunity has come, but on the first day she took office, she discovered how incompetent she was in handling government affairs.

Late at night, Zhou Mansion.

Amber held the pinyin book boredly and yawned constantly.

When she took a breath, the light swayed several times.

Zhou Houfang, who was sitting opposite, was in high spirits.

She took the pencil and filled the entire booklet with a whisper.

The desk was full of books. As soon as Zhou Houfang came home, he ordered the maids and servants to dig out all the books in the house.

Amber watched helplessly as Zhou Houfang's writing became smoother and smoother from the beginning. Finally, she was distressed to find that her young lady's fingers were all red and swollen!
Amber felt extremely distressed, "Miss, I have never seen you working so hard. This month's monthly payment is only five taels of silver, and I can't even buy a piece of clothing or jewelry. Why do you seem to be selling yourself?" ?”

Zhou Houfang smiled slightly when he heard this, "Although five taels of silver is not much, it is money I earned by myself. Besides, it has nothing to do with silver."

Amber held her chin, "What is that?"

Zhou Houfang stared at the fire and pondered for a moment, "I don't know either. Ever since I entered that government office, it was as if someone cast a spell on me and was pushed forward. I don't know where I got this urgency from. Feeling, I feel that I, Zhou Houfang, am no worse than anyone else!"

Amber nodded in understanding, "Miss, what I want to say is that there are both men and women in the government office, and Miss doesn't want to embarrass us women!"

Zhou Houfang smiled, "You can say that. More importantly, I also want to see if I can do these things well."

"My good lady, it's almost the third night. Don't you have to go to practice early tomorrow morning? If you don't sleep now, can you get up tomorrow morning?"

Zhou Houfang rubbed her sore eyes, looked at the densely written booklet, raised her swollen arms, and murmured to herself as if sighing, "You can't be serious, Amber, don't say it, in my heart It’s really scary.”

"Miss, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that I won't understand anything during the meeting and will be looked down upon."

"Miss, you are the eldest daughter of Master Tongpan. Who dares to embarrass you in person?"

Zhou Houfang smiled, "Hubo, we are already in the territory of the rebels. My identity can no longer scare people. Xu Zhenying has a saying that is really right. Identity is given to myself. If I don't work hard, I will be accused tomorrow. Scratching your nose and scolding those who walked out the back door. Your young lady has never suffered such grievances in her life. Hum, I can do even what Pang Xiaohua can do."

Amber sighed.

Sure enough, her young lady has a strong desire to win.

Zhou Houfang did not expect that the challenge would come the next day.

Because the protons from Qianzhou have arrived at Jinzhou Prefecture.

Because she was used to welcoming and sending off people in the back house, Xu Zhenying sent her to take the lead in welcoming the protons in Qianzhou.

Zhou Houfang got up early and practiced for half an hour. Her calves were so tired that she didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she hurried from the government office to the outside of the city gate.

From a distance, I saw about a dozen carriages coming from the official road, including young people, children, and women.

When the car curtain was opened, Zhou Houfang realized that these were half-grown children.

The eldest one is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest is only six years old.

At this moment, the little kid was wearing a Miao costume, a headscarf, his skin was a little dark red, and there were silver anklets on his feet that jingled as he walked.

At this moment, he looked at the gate of Jinzhou Fucheng with fear and fear, and hid behind his sister timidly.

However, his sister was only about ten years old. The two little ones were very weak, and they were followed by two women taking care of them.

Zhou Houfang was naturally not timid when faced with a scene she was familiar with. In just a few words, she got involved with the children and figured out their respective identities.

The eldest one is the village's grandson, named Atao.

Also on this trip was his sister, Yao Niang.

There were eight people in front and behind, plus those who took care of daily life and security, there were a total of thirty-six people.

Naturally, these people went to see Xu Zhenying first.
