Luo Wen was in a good mood with twenty Wen coins in his pocket.
For the past two years, Luo Wen has been working as a guide for vendors. Being a guide is quick and easy, but he often cannot open a store for a few days. When he heard that the new county magistrate was coming, Luo Wen was worried about it.
"Luo Wen, have you seen the new magistrate!" A man who was blind in one eye asked with a smile.
On one of the man's eyes, there was a terrifying scar, which was cut in the previous battle.
Luo Wen nodded, and said: "I showed him the way when I saw it. He seemed to be frightened by the appearance of the county government."
The blind man smiled and said: "These county magistrates only know the fish and meat people, so I really don't know why the superiors must send someone here."
Sha County was originally poor in supplies, and often invaded by enemy bandits. There used to be a county magistrate in Sha County. He thought the officials were small and the place was not good. He wanted to transfer them away. The people are not easy to provoke. If they are provoked, they will kill the stupid official.
Luo Wen shook his head and said, "I don't know, it would be nice if we have a general here."
"Uncle Tian, you are well-informed. Do you know the origin of this new official? I think he brought his family with him!" Luo Wen asked.
The blind man smiled, his originally hideous face looked even more terrifying.
"Our new county magistrate is not simple. I heard that his official position was not obtained through imperial examinations, but directly bought." The blind man laughed and said.
Luo Wen frowned, and said, "Buyer!"
The blind man nodded, and said: "Yes! There is a saying that money can make ghosts go through the mill. This official should be a big businessman. When he has money, he starts thinking about pursuing status. This county magistrate , I’m afraid I’m going to be disappointed, our county doesn’t have much money to fish for, most of this person is greedy for cheap, when he bought an official, he didn’t inquire well and bought a cheap one.”
Luo Wen rolled his eyes and said, "I think this new county magistrate seems to be a good official."
The blind man glanced at Luo Wen with great interest, and said, "You can still tell the difference between a good official and a bad one!"
Luo Wen grinned and said, "This county magistrate has a pretty good temper." Moreover, he was generous with the money.
The blind man curled his lips and said, "This is a newcomer, if he has gained a firm foothold, it will be hard to say."
After Lu Lin bought the official position, he sold the business and house in the town, dismissed his subordinates, and left more than 1,700 taels of silver.
So much money is enough for a period of time.
Lu Lin sent the father and son of the Qin family to find someone to repair the house, and soon Qin Yi called them.
Although the people in Shaxian County are strong and strong, they always have to eat. Lu Lin's wages are high, so more people come here.
When Qin Yi came back, he secretly told Lu Lin that the labor cost in this place was cheaper than that in Lin Town. Originally, he went to someone to say that he wanted to work for the county magistrate, and the villagers here were not very happy. As a result, for twenty-five Wen a day, many people are willing to come.
The current season is about to enter late autumn, Lu Lin is eager to build the house, this Sha County is too poor, there is only one dilapidated inn, Lu Lin is a little eager to live in the mansion.
"Uncle Qin, you are so amazing that you called so many people so quickly." Lu Lin said.
Qin Yi smiled, and said: "It's also thanks to that boy Luo Yuan, that guy looks like he can be made!"
Qin Yi inquired about Luo Yuan's life experience, and found that this kid was also pitiful, his father died in the war, and the sick mother and son were often hungry and full.
The children of this poor family have been in charge of the family for a long time. Luo Yuan often ran out to make money at a young age. He is just a child and can't find much work to do.
When Qin Yi was going to the countryside to find someone, he met Luo Yuan, and when he heard Luo Yuan said that he wanted to find someone to repair the house, he volunteered and said that he could help find someone, but he had to pay.
The father and son of the Qin family have been with Lu Lin for several years and have made a lot of money. Qin Yi thought that he didn't have much money, so he agreed. Qin Yi also found a few people before. His status didn't add much credit to him, and it was very difficult for him. After meeting Luo Yuan, it became much smoother.
The boy Luo Yuan seems to be very popular. With this guy as a buffer in the middle, Qin Yi found someone easily.
Lu Lin bought a large number of bricks and tiles to repair the house. Although the county grandpa's mansion is a bit dilapidated, it has three entrances and is still very spacious. It is enough for them.
The house was being repaired at home, and Chen Maimai also went to help.
Chen Xiaomai lifted up a large box that weighed several tens of kilograms, startling the people who came to help.
Lu Lin saw that Chen Maimai was showing his supernatural powers, and guessed that Chen Maimai and Chen Xiaomi's strange powers had begun to show their power.
Chen Xiaomi was disliked because of his strange power back then. Seeing Chen Mai's appearance, Lu Lin sent Chen Xiaomai away to play.
Seeing his hard work, Chen Maimai didn't get any praise from Lu Lin. Instead, he was rejected and ran away a little dissatisfied.
Although many helpers were hired, Lu Lin and the others were not idle.
Chen Xiaocai and others all came from hardships in the early years. Although life has been better in the past two years, they are still very hardworking and hardworking in their bones, and they are good at work.
The more people worked, the faster the work came. In the evening, they got off work, and a few workers left the county office.
"Boss Zhou, what do you think of the new magistrate!" Wang Er asked.
Zhou Yuanhe squinted his eyes and said, "I can't see it for the time being."
Wang Er scratched his head and said, "I think this lord is not bad, he still takes care of lunch."
Lu Lin firmly believes that eating is the best time to connect with each other. Therefore, when it comes to eating, he has never dared to neglect Lu Lin. He just came to Shaxian County, and there are no good conditions. At lunch, he cut some bacon and yams and boiled them. A big pot of porridge was served to the people who came to build the house.
The products on this side of Sha County are relatively poor, and the few people are very happy to eat.
Zhou Yuanhe glanced at Wang Er helplessly, and said, "I bought you off after a meal."
Wang Er scratched his head and said, "Isn't this meat?" Although it's just some shredded meat, it's still meat anyway!
"According to what the magistrate of the county said, it seems that he wants to make a bed." Zhou Yuanhe said.
Wang Er was a little excited and said: "I've heard about Kang, it seems to be very remarkable. Our new county magistrate will enjoy it very much!"
"Looking at the appearance of our county magistrate, he should be able to."
"If the county magistrate really knows how to cook a kang, we just follow suit. If we learn this, then this winter may not be so uncomfortable."
Lu Lin was willing to spend money, and repaired the house in a few days.
Lu Lin has built kangs in the main hall, left and right wing rooms and other rooms.
The first kang in the government office was repaired, and the workers who came to help would sneak over to try it out.
Regarding the fact that the workers who came to help secretly went to sit on the kang, Lu Lin was very clear, and the weather was not very cold at the moment, but Lu Lin still set the kang on fire for the convenience of these workers.
This Lu Lin is in Dashi Village. After the kang was built, the reputation of the kang in the surrounding villages and towns spread very quickly. Many places have been built on the kang one after another. However, the dissemination of this ancient information is still not perfect. Not many people have repaired kangs. Of course, it may be that the people in this place are too poor to afford repairs, and there are no houses, let alone repair kangs.
Lu Lin thought that after the completion of his project, the kang would spread in the county one after another.
In the evening, several workers received their wages and left the county office.
"Our county magistrate is really nice. The money is settled every day without any delay."
"The members of the county magistrate's family seem to be quite diligent, and they don't seem to be pampered."
"Yes, I heard that our county magistrate's official was bought. I thought it would be a fat profiteer."
"This kang is really good. I sat down for a while today, and it's warm. If I have this thing in winter, I'm afraid it will be much better."
"I heard from Master Xiaocai that this kang is good for bone injuries. I don't know if it's true."
"This one should be true. I don't think this young master is a liar."
"Many people in Sha County suffer from arthritis. When it rains in winter, they suffer a lot."
Chen Xiaocai had no airs, and soon got along with the workers who came to help. Everyone had a good impression of Chen Xiaolai.
Border Patrol Battalion
"General, the new magistrate has arrived."
Ji Chengkang said indifferently: "Have you come? What is the origin?"
"He's a businessman. I heard that he paid three thousand taels of silver for this official position."
Ji Chengkang shook his head and said: "No business, no evil, the newcomers are probably not good people."
"The imperial court is short of money, otherwise these idiots can't be allowed to be county magistrates. However, when he understands the situation in Sha County, he will naturally retreat in spite of the difficulties." Liu Yun said gloatingly
Ji Chengkang squinted his eyes and said: "As long as he doesn't bully the people, let him stay here. If one leaves, there will be new ones, which will be troublesome." Let's go, the above probably has something to say.
"What the general said is that this new county magistrate seems to be very rich. He found a lot of people to repair his house as soon as he arrived, and the wages are settled immediately, so he keeps his word." Liu Yun said.
Ji Chengkang nodded and said: "If he is honest, then it would be great."
"Yuanhe went to work for that Lu Lin." Liu Yun said
Ji Chengkang sighed and said, "This guy is just too stubborn."
Zhou Yuanhe was originally a soldier in the army. He became limped during the war and left the army. He built a house in Sha County and lived in poverty. Ji Chengkang visited him twice and took out his salary. Zhou Yuanhe refused to help his former companions. Zhou Yuanhe felt that he could support himself and did not need Ji Chengkang’s help. It is often very embarrassing.
"Yuan He said that the new county magistrate can repair the kang." Liu Yun said.
Ji Chengkang frowned, and said, "It's about repairing the kang. I've heard that it can resist severe cold. I don't know if it's true. Many soldiers in the army have cold legs. It’s a problem, and this problem is very difficult to endure in autumn and winter.”
"Zhou He and the others made several kangs for the new county magistrate, and they have already learned the skills. General, do you think our patrol battalion should try to make a few too!" Liu Yun suggested.
Ji Chengkang nodded and said, "That's fine."
