After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Chapter 265 We won’t fight with the villagers

Old Man Mu and the others were stunned by Doctor Deng's sudden words and couldn't react for a long time.

what? !

Aren’t you talking about the disaster relief supplies being stolen?

Why are you talking about this again?

Doctor Deng could understand why Old Man Mu and the others were like this, so he mentioned it again, "You can give it a try."

"Baby gave the county magistrate an idea, so the county magistrate will choose someone from Xingzi Village first."

When their own children were mentioned, Mu Laodi and the others immediately came to their senses.

"Baby gave the county magistrate some advice? This kid is really smart."

"The baby has always been smart, and she has so many ideas in her little head."

Doctor Deng smiled and said, "You can give it a try. Although it's a bit tiring, you won't lose money in silver and food."

But Father Mu said, "No, no, our family won't compete with the villagers for such a good job."

He thought clearly, "My family has a business and we are living a good life now. If I continue to compete with the villagers for such jobs, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among some villagers."

"We have always lived in the village. There is no need to create conflict with the villagers over this matter."

The closer you are to the village, the more attention you should pay to these places.

Doctor Deng felt emotional. The more he got along with the Mu family, the more he found that they lived a transparent life.

"also."

He nodded. "You have your own business and are not short of money for the time being. There is no need to compete with the villagers for such work."

"However, you can tell the villagers about this and consider it a token of gratitude."

Old Man Mu thought that this was a good idea and that building good relationships with the villagers would be of great benefit to his family.

So, before long, the whole village knew about it.

The county magistrate wanted to recruit villagers to clear the snow and ice, and the reward was silver and food.

Now, the whole village was excited, and everyone wanted to get such a good job.

"I'm good at clearing snow. Every winter, I'm the one who clears the snow outside my house."

"Come on, let's go to the town now and see if we can get a job right away."

"Didn't you hear what Uncle Mu said? It hasn't started yet. We have to wait for the county magistrate to send someone. In this cold winter, you have to walk to the town. What are you going to do when you come back?"

"The Mu family is a good family. They didn't keep such a good thing to themselves and told us everything."

No matter how anxious the villagers were, they could only hold their temper and wait for the people sent by the county magistrate to arrive.

Fortunately, the people sent by the county magistrate arrived the next day.

He was an unfamiliar yamen runner who came riding on a donkey.

Most of the villagers surrounded the yamen runners, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

The yamen runner cleared his throat and shouted, "The county magistrate is looking for people to clear the snow and ice. The salary is five copper coins and two taels of grain for ten days."

"The magistrate said, the more you work, the more you get."

"Is there anyone willing?"

Before he finished speaking, a large group of villagers had already signed up.

"Master Yamen Runner, I... my whole family is willing! We are a family of five and we are all capable of doing things."

"Master, our family is willing. Please give us a chance."

Basically, all the families in the village join in the fight.

Except for children and the elderly and weak who do not meet the requirements, more than 80% of the villagers in Mujia Village have signed up.

Many villagers were very grateful and sent some eggs to the Mu family.

"Mu family, you must accept it. If your family hadn't told us about this in advance, we wouldn't have had time to prepare."

"My family is really grateful to you. With this job, our winter will be easier."

The Mu family was not willing to accept it, and they had to persuade the villagers to go back after much persuasion.

Not to mention that they have no shortage of eggs at home, even if they do, they cannot take eggs from the villagers for free.

In the winter, life is hard for everyone.

The county magistrate asked people from each village to clear the snow and ice, and soon he recruited hundreds of people.

On every section of the official road, there are more than a dozen villagers working hard.

The people using shovels, hoes, and carts... everyone was doing their own thing, chatting from time to time.

"The county magistrate is such a good man. He thought of us for such a good job."

"That's right. Whenever the previous county magistrate had something good to do, he would only think of the wealthy families in town, not us."

"Do you want copper coins and grain? My family wants to exchange all of it for grain. It's safer to exchange it with the county magistrate than to buy it."

"Your words remind me. Indeed, it is much safer to buy from the county magistrate."

The county magistrate felt a little relieved when he learned that the snow clearing was progressing smoothly.

He took a sip of hot tea and then said to the master, "You have worked hard during this period."

"You should take a good rest these two days, and we'll talk after these two days."

The master was very touched. "Your Excellency, what you said is not true. It is my honor to work for you."

Then he added, "Sir, I can't rest yet. The riots by the disaster victims have not been fully investigated."

As a result of the notice, more than 80% of the victims received money and food and returned home.

Most of the remaining victims have bad intentions.

These disaster victims wanted to eat and drink for free in the town, and also wanted the adults to arrange a good place for them to live.

Mentioning this matter gave the county magistrate a headache. "Tell me, who would be so bold as to do such a thing?"

The lawyer asked tentatively, "Sir, could it be related to the looting of disaster relief supplies?"

He learned from the adults that the relief supplies were stolen and that the emperor had ordered a strict investigation.

The county magistrate's eyebrows twitched violently, his heart trembling. "You mean...?"

The lawyer subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Sir, some people want to take advantage of the disaster to gain benefits for themselves."

"Since ancient times, haven't there been some people who, for their own benefit, are willing to do anything?"

The master's brows knitted together, and he nodded slowly, "You are right."

"If that's the case, then we have to be careful."

"We can't deal with those people."

The lawyer had a different idea. "Sir, if we can't handle it, can't Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng handle it?"

"Those two must have guessed the problem long ago."

The magistrate suddenly realized something and patted his thigh, "You've enlightened me."

He looked at his mentor with admiration and said, "If I have the opportunity to be promoted in the future, you will follow me."

"If you choose to stay and be the county magistrate, I will help you."

"Whether it will succeed or not is hard to say."

The master made a decision in an instant and bowed quickly, saying, "I am willing to follow you, sir!"

It would be nice to stay and be a county magistrate, but there is a better way out if you follow the promoted people.

The county magistrate said with a smile, "Don't worry, if I have a sip of soup, you will definitely have one too."

The smile on the master's face brightened a little, "I will always remember your great kindness."
