There are already many ordinary people and hawkers and merchants on the streets of the county town, and the popularity is much higher than when Li Mo first came.
Although the first two major evils in Ruyang have not been eliminated yet, many people firmly believe that it will only happen sooner or later.
Nothing else, just because this county magistrate is strong enough and considers the people wholeheartedly. He is a true parent-official.
How could he watch the two evils continue to harvest the people?
Moreover, since the new county magistrate has been stationed in the county government, it is obvious that the county magistrate and boss Ke have restrained themselves a lot, and the servants in their government do not dare to come out to do evil again.
"Old Wang, why is it so early today?"
On the street, there were vendors and people greeting each other.
"I'm going to the fields. The weeds in the fields haven't been hoeed for a long time. I hope there will be a good harvest this year. After that, I can sell some grain and save some money to buy new clothes for my grandson."
The old man replied cheerfully, with light in his eyes.
Once upon a time, they neglected their work, not because they were lazy but because they had lost hope.
What's the use of managing the fields well? In the end, it won't be a wedding dress for those bandits.
"That's right. When everyone has more money, I can sell a few more steamed cakes every day."
The vendor laughed and said.
Just when the old man who was out farming was about to say something, a hawker suddenly ran up from a distance. He was extremely excited and shouted as he ran,
"Big news...big news...there's news from the county government."
"What happened to the county government?"
Upon hearing this, many people on the street immediately gathered around.
Today's county government is different from before. It has begun to concern poor people like them.
Many people even thought that something happened again at the county government.
"Just now, a notice was posted at the county government office, saying that one hundred people need to be recruited to work, both men and women. Each person will be given twenty cash per day, and they will be given in the evening."
The hawker ran in a hurry and was out of breath.
"What? Twenty cents a day? Real or fake?"
Hearing this, many people breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but get excited and ask again.
What is the concept of twenty coins a day?
In other words, if you work there for five days, you can buy a bucket of rice.
A bucket of rice is enough to feed a family of four for ten days.
"It's absolutely true. The county government has already posted a notice. Our new county magistrate will definitely not deceive me and other people. You don't have to worry about wages."
The hawker was so excited.
Although he will not go back, the reason is very simple. As long as the people in the county have money on hand, his business will naturally be much better.
"Then what are you waiting for? Go over and have a look."
"That's right! We're recruiting a hundred people in total. If you arrive late, there may be no spots."
Wow!
The next moment, many people flocked to the direction of the county government. Even the old man who had just been about to go out to work also had some thoughts.
It’s true that he wants to farm, but there are still people at home, right?
male or female?
If both members of the family can earn some money, how can life be so difficult?
.......
At the same time, the county government
In the front hall, the police officers gathered together in twos and threes, a little listless, chatting without a word.
Ever since Zhang Yuanwai was imprisoned, they felt like outsiders.
It seemed as if everything in the county government had nothing to do with them anymore. Everything was handled by the ten attendants of the new county magistrate, even when cases were opened in court.
"Boss, this is not the way to go..."
Finally, one of the detectives couldn't hold it back and said helplessly to the head catcher.
"That's right, I just saw a notice posted outside the county government office, saying that people are being recruited to work, and the salary is twenty cents a day... which is much higher than our previous wages. I want to do this job."
Soon, many policemen gathered around.
"Can....."
Hearing this, the head catcher had a bitter look on his face.
He knew very well that the new county magistrate would treat them like this.
They had done a lot of bad things for Hu Luo before, but they had no choice but to work as county magistrates. The county magistrate had been absent for a long time and could only take orders from Hu Luo.
"Boss, how about we go find the county magistrate and admit our mistake! We will work for him steadily from now on..."
After hesitating for a moment, one of the detectives whispered.
"Do something for him?"
Catching the head.
"Boss, he who knows the current affairs is a hero! This county magistrate is different from the previous ones. Look at the two personal guards around him. They are both martial arts masters. With one move, they cut off the limbs of the martial arts warriors in Zhang Ji's mansion. How cruel is that?
In this way, I'm afraid even the warriors in Boss Ke's house can't do it! Moreover, our county magistrate has his back to Yibo Tower.
What level of power is Yi Bo Lou?"
The policeman looked around carefully and said,
"Boss, I have a feeling that our new county magistrate will deal with Hu Luo and Big Boss Ke sooner or later, especially Hu Luo... If we continue, he may also deal with us, and others will deal with us.
It’s no different than crushing an ant to death.”
"this..."
The arrester was silent, and for the rare moment he did not refute.
"Also... I heard from the gossip that a mysterious force took over the cottage at the west entrance of Ruyang the day before yesterday. Nearly a thousand people were slaughtered overnight. If you say this has nothing to do with the county magistrate, I will believe it even to death."
"But before we...this county magistrate would really accept us?"
After a long time, the catcher let out a long sigh, still a little hesitant.
In fact, he understood what the police officers said, but he had indeed done a lot of things to help others in the past.
"Boss, as long as we sincerely repent and work for our county magistrate in a down-to-earth manner from now on, I believe the county magistrate won't embarrass us too much. He doesn't seem like the kind of unreasonable person."
One of the detectives advised in a low voice.
"That's right, how will you know if you don't try?"
"But what if the county magistrate still doesn't believe what we say?"
"Then we will make a blood oath!"
"Sake a blood oath like the Jianghu people?"
"Well! To be honest, the fact that this county magistrate can stand up for the people is enough to prove that he is worthy of following. Aren't you and I also born from the common people?"
"Okay, let's try it!"
Finally, the head catcher no longer hesitated.
"Walk!"
"Walk!"
One person took a step forward, and soon all the detectives in the front hall followed him.
...
Just when the situation in Ruyang began to slowly reverse, Chang'an, Jinluan Palace,
Zhou Yuan, the Minister of Rites, bowed and stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have a secret mission to report."
"Oh? Qing's family, please tell me."
Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Longji yawned, looking a little impatient, but still nodded slightly for the sake of face.
In the past few days, Li Longji went to the Lishan Palace again, playing music every night, and his body was already a little overwhelmed.
He also pays less and less attention to the affairs of the court, and even thinks that as long as there are a few ministers around, there will be no problems.
"Wei Chen wants to join the Ministry of Works Minister Shen Jin!"
