[Chapter 2131 Tie Kui Fanwai (55)]
Hongbo went to the county seat, and it didn’t take much effort to find out that Wei Jinbao lived in the county government office.
After handing over Ning Hai’s famous post, Wei Jinbao quickly met him. Looking at Hongbo up and down, Wei Jinbao asked, “Who is Ning Hai from you?”
If you say uncle directly, I am afraid of causing misunderstanding. After all, Ning Hai was the Queen’s uncle, and the whole world knew this. At the moment, Hong Bo said euphemistically: “Ning Hai is the adopted son of my grandfather and my uncle.”
This post will not be given casually, but just in case, Wei Jinbao asked the guard in military uniform: “Brother, is what he said true?”
The guard nodded and said, “Old Master Tie is indeed my uncle’s adoptive father.”
Wei Jinbao then asked Hongbo: “What are you looking for from me?”
Hongbo said: “I want to find a job in the yamen, so that I don’t have to dig food in the mud in the future.”
Wei Jinbao smiled. With an uncle like Uncle Anyang, even if he didn’t find an errand in the county government, he didn’t need to farm in the countryside. But after hearing this, I knew that Hongbo was a real person.
“You can read, right?” If you can read, you can arrange a good errand. If you don’t know how to read, you will only be able to do an unpopular position like a fast catcher.
Hongbo nodded and said: “I entered the school at the age of five and studied for more than eight years. Unfortunately, my qualifications are limited, and I didn’t even pass the exam, so I didn’t continue to study.” He was completely clueless. Then she didn’t want to continue reading, Chunni angrily told him to go home to farm. As a result, he really packed up the bed and went back to farming. Chun Ni was so angry that her nose almost crooked.
After reading the book for so many years, although there is no fame, but all the words must be recognized.
If this reputation is so easy to test, then there will be no white-haired children.
Wei Jinbao said with a smile: “The position of the master book is still empty now, so let’s do it for you!” Originally, he planned to only give Hongbo a history of Liufang, but because Hongbo liked him very much, he gave the master book to him. He did. Whoever takes this position is the same for him.
The master book is an official of the ninth grade, and there is a grade. In the entire county, except for the magistrate and the county magistrate, it is the largest. Moreover, this is a person with real power, in charge of the county’s grain tax, household registration, document handling and other matters.
Hong Bo was stunned, he originally thought that it would be good to get a quick catch. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became an official of the imperial court.
Seeing his stupid appearance, Wei Jinbao said: “The responsibility of the chief clerk is not light, it affects the livelihood of the people in a county.
Hong Bo said quickly, “Don’t worry, my lord, I will definitely do this errand well.” Although he didn’t know what to do, he wouldn’t foolishly push this great thing out.
Wei Jinbao patted Hongbo on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Then I’ll give you two days to prepare and take office the day after.”
“good.”
Hongbo excitedly returned home and told the good news to Tiehu and Chunni.
For the Tie family, this was like a pie in the sky, Chun Ni and Duan Dongzi were so happy they just laughed.
Tie Hu said with a straight face: “You must do it well, otherwise you will lose your uncle’s face.” He also did not expect that Kui Zi’s face would be so great. It can be seen from this that Kuizi’s officials are indeed very large.
He didn’t know that, in fact, there were dozens of marquis and earls in the court. If it was someone else, Wei Jinbao might not care. But Uncle Anyang was different. He was the Queen’s uncle. You know, the emperor has to listen to the queen. Since he handed in a famous post asking for work, if he refused, he would offend Uncle Anyang. Besides, he is not familiar with this place, and it is better to sell Uncle Anyang as the master bookkeeper for other people he does not know.
Hongbo nodded and said, “Grandfather, don’t worry, I will definitely do my best.”
Although Wei Jinbao said that he would take office the day after tomorrow, Hongbo still packed up and went to office the next day. And Cai Datou also followed. If the rest can’t be done, it is still no problem to protect Hongbo’s safety.
As for Mrs. Fu and the children, because Hongbo is not at ease with Iron Tiger. So I plan to pick up the whole family when he buys a house there and settles down.
On the second day Hongbo left home, there was actually snow in the sky. Although the snow is not big, it is scary enough.
Chunni hurriedly asked Ashao and others to help, and collected all the vegetables and other crops in the vegetable field. If you don’t take it now, it will all rot in the ground.
Looking at the dishes placed in the main room, Tie Hu said worriedly: “Sudden change, the common people are not prepared, and I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.” snow. Of course, there has been snow in September, but it’s rare in August.
A Shao said: “Master, don’t worry, the court will definitely provide relief.”
Iron Tiger has no expectations. It’s not that he didn’t suffer from it before, but the court never took care of it.
A Shao smiled and said: “Master, the Holy Master and the Queen love the people like sons. If you know that there is a disaster here, you will definitely send someone to rescue the disaster.” .
Tie Hu thought about the new dynasty now, and the queen is still Kui Zi’s niece: “If this is the case, the people will be blessed.”
After two days, Cai Datou came back. He told Tiehu that Hongbo had taken a fancy to a large mansion with three entrances in the county town, and it cost three hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Cai Datou said: “Master, that house has a big backyard. If you have nothing to do, you can grow vegetables.” It’s fine to grow flowers. Farmers don’t pay attention to these stupid things. What they pay attention to is Affordable.
Chunni said, “Such a big house only costs 350 taels of silver? Wouldn’t there be a problem?” She remembered that the three-entry house that Shao Li bought, the back garden was only the size of a palm, but it cost more than 400 taels silver.
“The original owner of that house was from a wealthy family, and his property was confiscated because he was rich and unkind. We want to buy it directly from the county government.” After a pause, Cai Datou said, “Because the government has saved a lot of houses, these houses are now All have to be sold, and the price is a lot cheaper than usual.” In addition to the fact that the house has to be sold more than usual, the price is 20% cheaper than usual, and Hongbo is the head of the county. He can also get an internal price.
Chun Ni was a little moved, and turned her head to look at Tiehu. She has this heart and doesn’t have so much money.
Tie Hu said: “Buy.” The house is bigger, and the whole family can live in it in the future.
After a pause, Tie Hu said towards Cai Datou: “Besides the house, I still have two hundred taels of silver in my hand. Let’s see, can this money buy a shop or something?”
Chun Ni hurriedly said, “I still have one hundred and eighty taels of silver.” This was all she had on hand.
Cai Datou said with a smile: “For more than 300 taels of silver, I should be able to buy a shop with a good location.” Buying a property now is the most cost-effective. Pavement.
After Tie Hu nodded, he asked again: “Big head, is the county government still recruiting people? It doesn’t matter what errands you have, as long as you eat public meals.”
Cai Datou asked, “Who is the grandfather trying to get an errand for? Second Master?”
Tie Hu shook his head and said, “No. Ershui has helped our family so much. If it is possible, I would like to find a job for Dazhi as well. But if it doesn’t work, then forget it.” I will think of other ways in the future to repay Ershui.
Cai Datou said with a smile: “The county government has three classes, namely the soap class, the strong class and the fast class. The soap class is responsible for matters such as standing shifts and executions when the magistrate is promoted to the court to inquire about the case; the strong class has poor capacity, tax collection, etc. ; Kuaiban, which is what you call catching kuai, is responsible for arresting rape and robbery, solving cases, releasing prisoners, etc. Dazhi people are tall and strong, and they have a lot of strength, and they are competent for these three errands.”
“Are they all recruiting?”
Cai Datou said with a smile: “These places are not recruited externally, they are all set by the internal master. Now the county magistrate is in charge of this matter. It should be no problem for the uncle to say hello to him and put someone in.”
Chunni said with some puzzlement, “Shouldn’t the county magistrate be in charge of these things?”
“Wei Baihu doesn’t have the power to appoint magistrates. The magistrates have to be appointed by the imperial court. Even today’s magistrates are only temporary representatives. If they don’t do well, they will be dismissed.” Can keep doing it.
Chun Ni stunned: “So, if Hongbo doesn’t do a good job, he won’t be the master bookkeeper for long.”
Cai Datou said with a smile: “If you are not competent, you will only harm others and yourself. But the second aunt can rest assured that the uncle can do this job well.”
After a pause, Cai Datou said: “Master, I suggest that Dazhi be a catcher. To be a catcher, not only will you get a salary, but you can also get some extra money. The money you get is more than that of the Zaoban and Zhuangban. .”
“Then let Dazhi be the catcher.”
On the same day, Tiehu called Ershui. After talking to him about this, Tie Hu said: “Let Dazhi go to the county first, and if he is selected, then tell your wife and daughter-in-law.”
Er Shui rubbed his hands together and said, “Brother Huzi, how can you let me thank you!” No matter if he can be selected or not, the Tie family is willing to give him this opportunity, which makes him grateful.
In fact, Ershui helped the Tiehu family purely because they had a good relationship and never thought of repaying them.
“When it’s done, it’s not too late to thank me again.”
Hongbo made this talk to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate naturally wouldn’t refute his face, and immediately agreed to let Dazhi come in as a quick arrest. However, the county magistrate also said: “Master Wei only asked me to recruit half of the staff first. Except for Zuo Zuo and Wen Po, the other people’s quotas are already full.” Can’t.
It is also that Ershui has helped them a lot, and Hongbo has a good relationship with Dazhi. Otherwise, how could he sell this face.
Hearing that Dazhi had become a catcher, Ershui brought the wine he had been reluctant to drink to Tiehu.
Chun Ni laughed and scolded: “Are you asking for a beating? My father is too old to drink. Wouldn’t you be arousing his greed if you brought the wine?” , Tiehu has to drink a bowl of wine every meal. As I get older, I drink a small glass every now and then.
Lin shi said with a wide-eyed smile: “I told him for a long time, but I didn’t listen. I also said that Brother Tiehu has been jealous of his wine for many years.”
Several people were joking and laughing when they saw Hong Lang and Weishi walk in from outside with their two children.
Chun Ni looked at the second son’s family, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
Er Shui and Lin Shi looked at each other, put down the gift in his hand, and said, “Chun Ni, let’s go back first.” When Dazhi came back, the whole family came to thank him.
