Chapter 37 The Three Heads

After everyone had eaten and drank the soup, the team deputy came to Wang Xuezhai and said to him: "Follow me."

Wang Xuezhai didn't know what to do, so he got up and followed the team deputy to the captain.

The captain said to Wang Xuezhai: "I am the captain of this team, with a surname Luo Dan and a name Ji. This one is the team deputy, named Liang Guancheng. I am from Yingyang County, Henan Prefecture, and the deputy of Team Liang is from Dengfeng. The above instructed that there must be three people in each team in charge of affairs. In addition to the two of us, there is also a bookmaker who is responsible for reading various official documents and reading letters to the people in the team. Team Liang said that you have been studying in the family since you were a child. I think you have some knowledge. So I asked you to ask if you would be a bookmaker in this team?"

Bookkeepers are widely present in various government offices and even in the army. The most common one in the countryside is naturally the village bookkeeper. However, this is an official position. Wang Xuezhai is a scholar who is not very willing and difficult to refuse. He asked: "I don't know what else to do except copy and copy? Another thing is that as a bookkeeper, do you have money and food?"

Luo Ji smiled and said, "It's not just copying, but the three of them discuss the matters in the team. Team Liang and I both read a few big characters, and we haven't read two books, and we can't do things like copying and accounting, so we need a bookkeeper to do it. From now on, our team members have worked together and received money and food together. In addition to the money and food he received, there is also a little compensation. I have 300 documents per month, and team deputy and bookkeepers are 200 documents per month."

Liang Guancheng hurriedly added: "This is an extra fee, so much more money than others, and it's all full money!"

There are 200 citations a month, which is not a small amount. You can buy two kilograms of meat to eat, and you can eat rice for half a month. Wang Xuezhai thought about it and said, "This year, I encountered a disaster, and today's field, how can I be picky? I just want to hide it from you. I have to take the initiative to study since I was a child. This bookmaker is also an official position."

Luo Ji smiled and said, "We just said here, I'm afraid you have this concern. You don't have to worry, this bookmaker is not considered an official position. We were recruited into the Transportation Commission, and the officials of Ducai said in particular that we are not considered an official position."

Wang Xuezhai didn't believe it very much, looked at Luo Ji and said, "Are you serious about this?"

"Of course it's true! The officials of Ducao are in charge of Caoxian all the way. How could they coax us with lies? Don't worry about this."

Wang Xuezhai breathed out: "Since that's the case, I'm not as respectful as I'm better obey my orders!"

Public officials can also take the imperial examination, but they must leave their post for three years before they can take the exam. It is not possible to be on duty. How can public officials be an iron job? They can get rich and grain every month, and becoming a Jinshi is a vain thing. How many people can make up their minds to prepare three years in advance? Moreover, generally speaking, it is not easy to find a guarantor from a public official.

Such regulations have realistic considerations, because many children of officials will become public officials if they cannot get the job. After all, they are official people, with a fixed income and can also make some benefits from time to time. If they are asked to do the work of public officials, they can also take the imperial court's money and food to take the imperial examination, which is obviously unfair to ordinary people and it is easy to form a family of officials. The local area is controlled by powerful people, which is something that the official does not want to see.

After three years of resignation, it is actually equivalent to becoming an ordinary person, and these people can respond as civilians.

After dispelling Wang Xuezhai's concerns, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious. Although Jingdong Road is a hometown of saints and has developed education, there are not many scholars in this era even in Zou and Lu. It is not easy for Wang Xuezhai to have a well-read poetry and books in the team. Luo Ji and Liang Guan are very concerned about it.

Henan Prefecture is also a hometown of poetry and books. Many famous scholars in later generations started by recruiting apprentices here to give lectures. In addition, at this time, the people were frequently moved, and there were many people doing business. There were still many people among the people who roughly read a few big characters. But if you really want to read the text and read official documents, there would be very few people like that, which is also the value of Wang Xuezhai.

Seeing that everyone in the team had eaten and chatted there, their complexion was obviously much better. Luo Ji took out a booklet and the paper in front of it and handed it to Wang Xuezhai: "When you have time now, you will go and record all the people in the team in this book. You will copy a copy of the booklet in the back. By the way, I will take you to the Transportation Office tomorrow to listen to the instructions of the officials. Also, your mother will make a booklet separately. After making the booklet, you will naturally come to gather with you, so don't be anxious."

At this time, the meat that was eaten in my stomach began to digest. Wang Xuezhai felt that he had heat on his body and was in a good mood. He took the booklet and the words and paper, and asked the names, hometowns, family backgrounds, and previous shoes next to the table. The content was much more detailed than when I was picking up the porridge just now. I just asked it, and it was divided into various teams. Now I asked it again, and it was officially compiled for these people. From then on, they were truly the wing army under the Three Divisions, and were temporarily managed by the Transportation Commander.

The first time the handwriting and the booklet behind must be handed over together. After copying it, it is printed and sent out. This is not only solemn, but also for review. If there are really random names in it, it may be caught.

Yang Gao and Wang Yaochen walked side by side in the rows of sheds. Seeing that the victims were full and full of food and drink, they were in a stable mood and nothing unexpected happened, they let out a sigh of relief. Everything was difficult at the beginning. Nothing happened these days, and this time it was successful.

After walking around, Wang Yaochen asked Yang Gao: "So many people gathered together, I feel panic when I see them. I said, how many people are there in this group?"

"About 8,000 people. I have asked just now that it can basically be formed into a family of two to three. Alas, there are fewer elderly, weak, women and children in the disaster victims, which is inevitable."

Wang Yaochen nodded silently. On the way to escape from famine, there is a struggle for a glimmer of hope, so it is natural that young and middle-aged people are prone to survive. This is because Chinese people have always emphasized respecting the elderly and loving the young, otherwise they would not even have this scene.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Wang Yaochen told Yang: "It's not too early, so it's time to arrange for people to take these victims to where they live. You must make arrangements and leave one by one. Don't rush up and cause trouble."

"Du Cao has given instructions that we have made arrangements for how to do it step by step, as long as we do as expected."
