The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 84
A group of people gathered around the bulletin board of the county government office.

A middle-aged man is constantly explaining to the illiterate people.

"Cement porters, at the age of ten, the monthly fee is [-] yuan, there is no limit to the number of people."

"Cement mixers, aged over ten years old, the monthly fee is [-] yuan, the number is not limited."

"Porters, at the age of ten, the monthly fee is [-] qian, and the number of people is not limited."

"Another blacksmith will be recruited with a high salary, with a monthly fee of [-] yuan, and there is no limit to the number of people."

"."

More than a dozen recruitment tasks were read out by the middle-aged population.

He touched the sweat on his forehead and continued to explain to the people.

Undoubtedly, these jobs were released by Song Wei.

Because after Cai Hu left, he found that the manpower he recruited was simply not enough.

If you want to pave all the roads in Zhen'an County, you don't know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

So Song Wei openly recruited people, and by the way, he also recruited future blacksmiths.

The middle-aged man looked at the jobs. Although he didn't know what Song Wei wanted to do, there was no doubt that a large number of people would sign up for these jobs after they were released.

Before Song Wei recruited people, he had requirements, and he would recruit batch after batch of people, but this time there were no other requirements.

As long as the age is ten years old, there are too many people who meet this condition.

And other illiterate people are more and more surprised.

What is the county magistrate going to do?Want so many people?

"Old Xu, is everything you said true? Does the magistrate actually want so many people?"

"Yeah, there is nothing to do now except for the autumn harvest."

"If this is true, I'll sign up."

Old Xu smiled slightly: "Of course it is true. The stamps on it are all from the yamen, so can there be any fakes?"

Hearing what Lao Xu said, the common people no longer discussed the authenticity of this matter.

"Okay, I'll go to the yamen to sign up!"

"Wait for me, I'll go too!"

"Don't squeeze me! I'm going to sign up!"

The common people are in a mess at this moment, rushing to the yamen to sign up.

At the moment, Song Wei, who was in the yamen compound, looked at the people who came one after another, and smiled slowly.

Although only a few hundred people were recruited at the beginning, after finding that there were not enough manpower, Song Wei directly recruited people publicly.

First, there will be enough people, and second, let others know what they are doing.

What's more important is to be able to pave the road faster, and the rest is also to prepare for building a house.

In other words, as long as there is news from Huang Baifu, this side can immediately operate.

Looking at the busy yamen servants, Song Wei didn't continue to read, but returned to the room.

A yamen servant followed him back to the room.

Song Wei picked up the blueprint of the stove and handed it to the yamen servant.

"Later, you can find someone to make the things on the blueprint with cement. Remember, it must be kept secret. And the content on the blueprint must also be kept secret. Now I don't want to let others know about it."

Song Wei looked at the yamen servant and said slowly.

The remaining yamen servants in the yamen are all people who swear to follow Song Wei, so Song Wei also trusts them and is not worried that they will reveal the news.

The yamen servant took over the drawing and nodded directly without looking at the content on the drawing: "Yes!"

Song Wei waved his hand and told the servants to go down.

Sitting in a chair and pouring myself a cup of tea, everything is now on track.

This also made me a lot easier.

This is also a rare rest time for Song Wei.

Naturally, you have to enjoy it.

Wu House.

In a room, Wu Zhenkun was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.

Ah Feng knelt in front of Wu Zhenkun.

"Master, the above words are all about Song Wei's movements in the past few days. Today, Song Wei spread the word on the bulletin board to recruit a large number of people. So far, we still don't know Song Wei's intentions."

Ah Feng reported all of Song Wei's actions in the past few days to Wu Zhenkun in front of Wu Zhenkun.

Wu Zhenkun kept squinting his eyes, as if nothing could bother him.

"Hmm." Wu Zhenkun closed his eyes and responded, "What does Song Wei want those people to do?"

"Master, there are more than a dozen jobs on the bulletin board. It seems that Song Wei is going to build something."

Ah Feng lowered his head and told Wu Zhenkun what he knew.

"Build something?"

Wu Zhenkun let out a light sigh.

What does Song Wei want to do?
It's only been a few days and you're going to do something again?
Wu Zhenkun naturally didn't know what Song Wei was thinking, Wu Zhenkun didn't take this matter to heart.

"Keep watching, and report back if you have any news."

"Yes!"

Ah Feng nodded.

"By the way, what happened to the food collection?"

Wu Zhenkun asked suddenly.

Ah Feng was taken aback and then replied: "Master, everything is normal. Butler Wu personally brought people to collect the grain. In just a few days, nearly half of the grain in Zhen'an County has been bought back, but some of it is still on the way back."

"Well, everything is fine."

Wu Zhenkun said slowly.

Collecting food was his last move. If something happened to this matter, then he would lose completely.

So Wu Zhenkun took this matter as the top priority, and spent a lot of energy on it.

Since it's all right, he can rest assured.

Ah Feng did not speak, it was not suitable for him to say anything at this time.

And just when Ah Feng was about to leave, there was another knock on the door.

Wu Zhenkun, who had his eyes closed, half-closed his eyes, and said, "Come in!"

squeak.

The door opened and a spy entered.

This spy is Ah Feng's subordinate, and Ah Feng was a little surprised when he saw him.

But A Feng didn't say anything.

"whats the matter?"

Wu Zhenkun closed his eyes and asked again after seeing the person coming.

"Master, we have been following Cai Hu to leave the county government. Not long ago, Cai Hu blocked some roads and led many people to start construction. It seems that he is going to pave the road."

The visitor knelt beside Ah Feng and said to Wu Zhenkun.

"paving?"

Wu Zhenkun opened his eyes and sat up straight.

Why is Song Wei paving the way?

Did he already know?

Shouldn't it be?

The grain brought back by his subordinates was kept away from people, so no one would know that he was harvesting grain secretly.

Wu Zhenkun thought of it now.

This news is definitely not good news for him.

The carriages he brought in to collect grain all entered the city secretly, and they did not take the main road, but avoided the small roads that people walked.

At this time, Song Wei actually wanted to start paving the road, which meant that his people not only had to avoid the main road, but also Cai Hu and others.

But Song Wei is recruiting people now, who knows where they will be.

As long as there is a mistake, after being seen by Song Wei's people, Song Wei will definitely guess what he is going to do.

Then his plan might be useless.

Wu Zhenkun can now say that he wants to hate Song Wei to death, what kind of road do you pave the way for nothing.

"Where are they paving now?"

Wu Zhenkun asked.

"Report to the master, they are all in the south of the city now."

The visitor replied.

South of the city?

Wu Zhenkun said in his heart.

Hearing this news, Wu Zhenkun can be said to be relieved, because his people will not go to the south of the city.

The Wu Mansion is in the east of the city, and they usually go from the north or east of the city, so the south of the city does not pose any threat to them for the time being.

Moreover, Wu Zhenkun knew that road construction was slow, and even having enough manpower would not help.

"Keep an eye on them and report as soon as you have news."
