Why marry someone when you are reborn?

As soon as Xu Yun said this, those people who were already in a difficult situation looked even more miserable.

Three days of hard work...

Xu Yun added: "If you don't want to do hard labor, you can also be beaten with a stick."

Someone immediately decided: "I'll register! My name is Chen Sanli!"

"My name is Xu Dazhuang!"

There was an endless stream of people signing up: after all, compared to being beaten with a stick, doing hard labor was better. At most it was a little tiring, but it didn't hurt, and it didn't hurt your muscles or bones.

Things have come to this point, and even the few leaders who were elected can no longer control the situation.

They looked at each other and finally sent one person back.

As a result, after just a few steps, the man shouted in surprise: "Mr. Zhu is here! Mr. Zhu is here!"

When Xu Yun heard the tone, he guessed it was almost right - he was probably afraid that Mr. Zhu was the one who gave them the advice.

I just don’t know what this Mr. Zhu is like.

You'll know in a moment.

Xu Yun stood on the carriage and turned to look over.

Hmm, it's a bit hard to see.

Xu Yun gave up decisively.

Anyway, the person coming is coming for you, so just wait.

Mr. Zhu was riding a horse, followed by the yamen runners.

The group was panting - mainly there were only four horses, the others were running.

When they arrived at Xu Yun's motorcade, the traveler tactfully dismounted his horse and strode up to Xu Yun.

Xu Yun gradually saw clearly.

This Mr. Zhu is quite tall, but skinny. As skinny as a bamboo pole.

He had single eyelids, very white eyes, and wore a long gown, but it was very different from the wide sleeves of scholars. The clothes he was wearing were washed white and looked a little old.

Xu Yun thought: This person is either really poor or he is just pretending to be poor.

When Mr. Zhu came to Xu Yun, he immediately bowed breathlessly and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! It's all my fault. I, I said the wrong thing, and they misunderstood! I'm late! I'm late!"

The tone of this series of words was full of regret and anxiety.

Xu Yun examined Mr. Zhu and simply asked him, "Who are you?"

Anyway, I didn't respond to Mr. Zhu's words at all.

Mr. Zhu answered quickly: "My name is Zhu Qing, and I am the county magistrate of Lingtai County. I am a native of Lingtai County. Before you come, I will be in charge of all matters in the county."

This is not beyond the point or strange.

County magistrates are basically transferred. Locals cannot serve as local magistrates, and the best they can do is to go to the next county.

In the middle of a transfer, there will inevitably be times when you can’t keep up, so who will take care of things at this time?

Generally, it is the county magistrate who is in charge.

The people behind Zhu Qing also bowed and said, "Master Liu An."

"County Lieutenant Chen Yun."

"Registrar Zhu Shan."

Xu Yun looked at them one by one and had a general understanding in his mind.

Then, she finally became curious: "Your name is Zhu Shan? Then what is the relationship between you and Zhu Qing? Are you relatives?"

Zhu Shan was very tall and had a beard. He looked nothing like Zhu Qing. He clasped his hands and answered solemnly, "We are relatives. Zhu is a big family name in this area."

Xu Yun nodded, no longer curious. She looked back at Zhu Qing: "Why did you bring someone here?"

Zhu Qing bowed his head and apologized: "I received your message and knew that you were coming, so I was preparing to welcome you. Suddenly I heard that these people were blocking the city gate to stop people, so I hurried over."

His tone was full of guilt: "It's a pity that I'm still a step too late."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "It's not too late. You're here just in time. Just take over the registration. Three days of hard labor per person, or ten strokes of the cane. Also, arrange for someone to take us to settle down."

Zhu Qing raised his head abruptly: "Xu County Magistrate! The law does not punish the masses!"

Xu Yun looked at him, and then his smile faded: "Zhu Qing, you are not responsible for rebellion?"

Zhu Qing's face turned pale.

But Xu Yun observed carefully, his hands covered by his sleeves must be clenched - his arms were tense. This would only happen if he clenched his fists.

Obviously, Zhu Qing was dissatisfied with this decision.

But! So what if Zhu Qing is dissatisfied!

Xu Yun looked at Zhu Qing coldly, wanting to see what he would do.

Finally, Zhu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Yes. I'll do it right away."

Xu Yun didn't say anything and turned back to the carriage.

Luo Li went out and talked to the person sent by Zhu Qing.

Gao Yu whispered to Xu Yun: "Ah Yun, this guy is definitely not a good person."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry. Let's wait and see."

It doesn’t matter whether they are good or bad people, only those who can be used are useful.

Gao Yu's eyes sparkled, and he pulled Xu Yun's arm and shook it, "Ah Yun, you look so handsome today! It makes people happy to see you! You are so majestic!"

Xu Yun couldn't help but smile when he was praised: "I was afraid that I didn't do well enough and couldn't control others."

Fortunately, it was a success.

Just like that, Xu Yun's motorcade, led by the county lieutenant and the chief clerk, marched through the city gate and settled in the county government office.

The county government office is not big and is divided into two parts, front and back.

The front is for office.

The backyard was for the county magistrate and his family to live in.

There is also a small garden.

It's about the same size as Xu Yun's, but it can't be compared with Luo Zhan's.

The backyard is now vacant, but it has been simply cleaned up and can be considered clean. However, if you want to live here for a long time, you still need to take good care of it.

Chief Clerk Liu An was a little embarrassed: "The county has no money, so we really can't do better. This is all the furniture we have."

There are quite a few pieces of furniture missing.

Only a few rooms in the main house have beds, cabinets and tables, and the other rooms are empty.

Xu Yun looked around and didn't say anything disdainful. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's good."

Luo Li asked Xu Yun: "How do we distribute this?"

There are many of them.

There were more than a hundred people in total, including the guards, thirty craftsmen, two teachers, and the people brought by Gao Yu.

There are more than a dozen rooms, including the kitchen. What should we do?

You can't sleep on the floor.

Xu Yun asked the chief clerk Liu An, "Are there any other vacant houses in the county?"

Chief Clerk Liu An said in embarrassment: "Yes, there are, but they are all private, not public."

Xu Yun nodded, "Then pick two that are closest to the county government office, and then take my people over to ask. We won't use them for free, we'll pay rent. See if they're willing."

When the chief clerk Liu An heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Pay rent?"

"Yes. Pay the rent. Follow the normal rent." Xu Yun nodded again: "Go quickly."

It's almost dark. If I don't settle down, I won't even have a place to sleep on the floor tonight.

Let Luo Li handle this matter.

Xu Yun carefully inspected the county government office and then made a plan.

She would definitely need a bedroom among the several main houses, but she would also need a study - after all, sometimes she needed to entertain guests or something, so she always needed a place.

Then Gao Yu and Luo Li must have at least one room each.

There are only seven or eight rooms left, excluding the kitchen and bathroom.

These seven or eight rooms... ten people can sleep in one room, which is not enough to accommodate the people she brought.

Xu Yun: ...I should have brought less. I'm renting a house now, and I feel a little sad.
