Chapter 106: Remote Water Village Cannot Be Dispersed
"You misunderstood. I'm not dissatisfied. I'm very satisfied with you." Lin Changyu looked at him with a smile, "Brother Shu, are you interested in joining us?"
"Ah?" Shu Mingzhi was confused, "Do you mean the same thing as what the common people think?"
Lord Zhizhou personally asked him to become an official. Is there such a good thing in the world?
Lin Changyu continued to smile, "It should be the same meaning, so are you willing?"
"Yes! I am willing!" Shu Mingzhi nodded frantically, "Being able to serve Master Zhizhou is a blessing I have earned in my three lives!"
"Okay, after we go back and look for the refugees, I will personally draw up a contract. After taking my fingerprints, you will be the governor of the state."
Lin Changyu patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "Do a good job and your benefits will be indispensable in the future."
Shu Mingzhi's heart was beating wildly, and he was so excited that he couldn't even speak. He kept nodding his head with tears in his eyes.
In the past, people in the village always said that he only talked words and did not do real things, and was of no use. Facts have proved that even good words can lead to big business!
Zhizhou Mansion! That is a Zhizhou Mansion that no one can squeeze into even if they have a sharp head!
Shu Mingzhi was so happy that he turned around to tell the villagers the good news.
Hei Dazhuang stopped him midway and started hesitating and gesticulating, his dark face turned red from holding back, "Zhizhou Prefecture...it's actually not very good, it's tiring, it's really tiring..."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness!" Shu Mingzhi confidently patted his chest, looking like "I'm going to go all out to do big things."
Hei Dazhuang glanced at him, then looked at Lin Changyu who looked unkind in the distance, and swallowed what he said, "Then do your best, come on."
"Same for you, come on!"
Shu Mingzhi gave him a cheering gesture with a smile, and then rushed into the crowd to announce the news that he was favored by Master Zhizhou.
When they learned that there was an official in their village, everyone in Yaoshui Village immediately became excited, and they poured out compliments in baskets:
"This kid Mingzhi has been smart since he was a child. I've known for a long time that he will have great potential, and I was really sure of it!"
"It's wise, don't forget us poor relatives when you go to Zhizhou Mansion in the future. Come back often to see us, so that we can also benefit from it."
Old Shu was so excited that he burst into tears. He hugged Shu Mingzhi's hand and couldn't bear to let go, "Fourth, you are so good, you will really make dad proud!"
Several other Mings also expressed their righteousness: "Don't worry about your career outside. With us at home, everything will be fine!"
The anger had reached this point, and Shu Mingzhi was moved and squeezed out a few tears, saying that he would work hard in Zhizhou Prefecture and strive to make a name for himself.
At this time, the upright Qingsong answered: "Fourth Uncle, are you sure you can become famous in Zhizhou Prefecture?"
Shu Mingzhi: "Huh? What do you mean by that?"
Qingsong turned around and pointed at Hei Dazhuang, Wei Pang and others, "Aren't they working in Zhizhou Mansion? They don't look very powerful."
"Not only is he not great, but he seems to be miserable. He can't even afford new clothes. It's so pitiful." Yan Yan added.
Shu Mingzhi was poured cold water on his head. Not only did he not wake up, but he even got drunk, "I am a talent personally invited by Master Zhizhou, so my treatment must be different from theirs!
And based on my intelligence, wouldn’t it be easy to work with that group of people and become the leader or something like that?”
"But Master Zhizhou wears such shabby clothes, even if you become a steward, how can you..." Qingsong was strangled in the cradle by Sun before he could finish his words.
Mrs. Sun covered her eldest son's mouth with a serious expression, "Qingsong, you can't imitate Uncle Chang Shun. People like that are likely to be beaten when they go out."
Shu Changshun, who was passing by, moved his lips, trying to say something. When he was about to speak, he remembered the slap he had just received. Forget it, stop talking. It is easy to get slapped if you talk too much.
Due to the fact that Shu Mingzhi was admitted to the magistrate's office as an exception, everyone in Yaoshui Village was particularly motivated to work the next day.
What if Lord Zhizhou saw that they were hardworking and diligent and took them all under his wing?
When we first arrived at the place, everyone was relatively reserved. Before greeting people, we had to think about it for a while. Only when we were in the right mood did we dare to move forward.
Later, I became more proficient in it, and I would approach people whenever I see them. My big brother and big sister would call each other very affectionately, and I would probably chat with any dog I met on the roadside.
After everyone's unremitting efforts, the more than 2,000 refugees stranded outside Qizhou City were basically persuaded. Each one of them enthusiastically found Lin Changyu and expressed their determination to go to Qiongzhou.
Faced with this situation, Lin Changyu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and wanted to say something to encourage everyone.
When he had sorted out his words and prepared to give an impassioned speech, Hei Dazhuang behind him burst into tears, a heart-rending cry that was earth-shattering.
Lin Changyu suppressed his anger and turned around to tell him to shut up. It was okay if he didn't say anything. After saying that, he started howling.
"Woo, I'm so happy. After so many hardships, I finally found everyone. It's not easy... When I get home, I must burn incense sticks with my great-great-grandfather. Thank him for his blessing..."
Hei Dazhuang couldn't stop talking as soon as he started talking. Lin Changyu was impatient with waiting and had to give up the idea of talking.
After a busy day, the sun has set to the west. It is obviously inappropriate to board the boat and go back at this time, but it is not in line with his style to be idle and do nothing.
After thinking about it, Lin Changyu simply arranged for his subordinates to register the refugee information in advance to facilitate unified management later.
The people in Yaoshui Village were led by the village chief and were at the front of the queue. The person in charge of registration was a young man who was unfamiliar to everyone. However, this did not prevent them from getting close.
As soon as we met, my brother called me and put his shoulder on my shoulder. Everyone, male, female, old and young, smiled like a flower.
"Brother, after you register the information, do you want to assign places according to this in the future?"
My brother is also a sensible person. When he heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have marked it. I will give you a good place later."
The village chief grinned with big teeth, "On the one hand, it's a good place, but more importantly, can we not separate the people in our village?
Along the way, we have developed feelings for each other. We are not better than one family, so breaking them up would hurt our feelings."
"That's right, little brother, please help me and assign us to the same village." Others also begged for mercy.
When I arrived in Qiongzhou, apart from my family, the people around me were the closest to me.
If we live close together, if something happens to one of our families or they are bullied by the locals, we can all take care of each other.
If it was torn apart and something happened, would anyone you don’t know be willing to help you?
Everyone knows this truth, so when the village chief took the lead, everyone joined in.
After all, it affects the quality of your future life, so you can’t be cautious.
The man who was surrounded by more than a hundred people was in a dilemma, "If you only have three or five families, it would not be difficult to arrange them together, but if there are more than ten families... it will be difficult to arrange."
This is how to do?
The village chief sighed, looked back at the fellow villagers who were sharing the same hardship, and glanced at Old Mrs. Zhang.
This sight made the old woman's legs weak. "Village chief, you can't throw me away. Am I not obedient enough?"
