Chapter 110 Arriving in Jiamusi and Recruiting a Chief Constable and a Cook
As the night deepened and the dew became heavier, everyone went their separate ways. Shangguan Wanjun and Concubine Wu - Xuanhua Feng returned to Showa Palace together.
The two woke up together, washed and changed their clothes together, and finally went to court together.
Shangguan Wanjun was not sleepy this time and kept thinking about the problem silently.
She dreamed again, in which she saw people displaced and various disasters happening all the time.
Jiamusi County
Jiang Chengkun and others looked at the dilapidated county government office and couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.
Jiang Chengkun was the first to walk in and look around. He felt that the county government office was a little precarious and was afraid that it would suddenly collapse.
Thirteen people stayed there, and the belongings from both cars were taken back to their rooms.
Jiang Chengkun assigned rooms to everyone and started cleaning.
An hour later, he was so tired that he saw stars, and he quickly found a chair to sit down and relax.
Cleaning is so tiring.
After Sheng Bai finished his work, he went to the adults' room.
"Sir, do you need my help?"
Jiang Chengkun waved his hand: "No, everything is fine."
He was really exhausted, and most importantly, he was hungry.
After cleaning the room, Master Zhou was so tired that he could hardly straighten his back.
Although the ten guards were martial artists, cleaning the room still exhausted them.
"I'm exhausted."
"my waist."
"I'm so tired and hungry."
……
Sheng Bai went for a walk outside, but didn't see any food stalls. He didn't dare go to some restaurants either, as they didn't have enough money to spend carelessly.
Seeing that he returned empty-handed, Jiang Chengkun closed his eyes.
"Sir, I didn't see any food stalls."
Master Zhou took out the cold steamed bread and said, "Just eat this for now."
After eating, he needs to catch up on some sleep as he has been too tired lately.
After lunch, snoring sounds could be heard in the backyard of the county government office. Fortunately, no one woke up, otherwise it would have been terrible.
Everyone who woke up at 3 p.m. in the afternoon began to clean the county government office. After all, this was where they would be living for a long time, so they had to be careful.
Jiang Chengkun and Mr. Zhou toured the county government office. Faced with the language of the Xie language group, they looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Sir, this...we won't recognize it either."
Jiang Chengkun had a headache moving all kinds of files away.
"How about hiring someone?"
Mr. Zhou continued to familiarize himself with the county government office, while Jiang Chengkun took Sheng Bai for a stroll outside to learn about the situation in Jiamusi County.
Sheng Bai saw that there were few people on the street and looked at his master helplessly.
"Sir, this..." Can you see anything?
Jiang Chengkun looked up at the sky, feeling deeply despair.
The guards were stunned when they saw the two men coming back with extremely bad expressions.
Jiang Chengkun sat in the courtroom thinking about life, while the guard went to Sheng Bai to inquire about the situation.
"What's wrong, sir?"
Sheng Bai shook his head: "We walked around for a long time, but there were no people on the street."
"Didn't we see this when we came here?"
Sheng Bai raised his head and sighed: "I miss the life in Beijing."
How can they survive in this deserted place?
Jiang Chengkun thought a lot by himself and came up with some rules in his mind. He was going to discuss it with everyone.
"Recruit the captain of the police?" Master Zhou was puzzled.
Jiang Chengkun nodded: "Not only that, we also need to find someone to cook. I don't know what the situation is like in the countryside."
On the second day, Mr. Zhou and a guard were kept at the county government office, while everyone else went to the countryside in a carriage.
Perhaps it was the influence of the post-war period, there was no life anywhere, which gave Jiang Chengkun a headache.
Sheng Bai was stunned when he saw the little boy who was almost naked: "Sir, this..."
When faced with strangers, the Xieyu people showed fear, especially when these people were carrying big swords.
Looking at the old man digging tree roots, Jiang Chengkun walked over.
"Hello, old man." Perhaps because of the boundary reasons, the old man could understand what he said.
"You... have something to say?" This man looked like a Yuan Dynasty person.
His questions were filled with caution, fear, tension and anxiety, which made Jiang Chengkun feel very uncomfortable.
"Can you understand me?"
The old man nodded: "Yes."
"That's great. I'd like to meet the village chief."
The village chief, Samuye, looked to be in his thirties.
"Hello, village chief. I am Jiang Chengkun, the county magistrate sent by the imperial court." It would be more appropriate for him to introduce himself.
The village chief was shocked: "County...magistrate."
He thought...
"Yes, could you please ask the village chief to call the heads of all the villages?"
An hour later, all the village heads in their town came to his house.
Jiang Chengkun looked at the older people and motioned them to sit down.
"I came here today to inquire about the situation in each village. I also have something to inform you. Our county is planning to recruit ten constables and a cook, a total of eleven people. What do you think?" He looked at the village heads.
The village heads looked at each other.
"The county government will provide a monthly salary, paid by the court, and it will be paid on time every month. However... Jiamusi belongs to the Yuan Dynasty, and we pay it in Yuan silver. From now on, Jiamusi County will also use Yuan silver for daily expenses."
Not all village heads believed his words, but they all went back and gathered the villagers to tell them about the matter.
"The empress of the Yuan Dynasty sent a county magistrate here today. She said that the county government needs to recruit ten constables and a cook. If it is convenient for you tomorrow, you can go and try." Although he didn't quite believe it, it was better to have hope than not.
After all the trouble, everyone returned to the county government office feeling very tired and went to bed early.
At dawn, the villagers were waiting at the county government office.
"Do you think this trick of the head constable is real?"
"I don't know."
"We're also hiring a cook."
……
A guard opened the gate of the county government office and was shocked to see the people. "You..."
The people said, "We are all here to apply for the position of Constable."
Sheng Bai hurried to the backyard: "Sir."
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
"Um... the people have arrived."
Jiang Chengkun was startled and quickly got up and went to the gate of the county government office.
When the people saw two more people coming out, they were a little at a loss.
They are now criminals of the Yuan Dynasty, and no one knows how the Yuan Dynasty will treat them.
"Why are you all here so early?"
Liu Lin bowed and said, "Sir, they are all here to apply for the job."
Jiang Chengkun understood as soon as he heard it. Nowadays, the Xieyu people are very sensitive to everything.
"Come in with me."
Everyone looked at each other, and Liu Lin couldn't help but urge them.
"Why don't you go in quickly and make the adults wait for you?" These people were too scared, which really affected their efficiency.
The other guards cooked porridge with wild vegetables, and they also fried a few dishes of wild vegetables.
Seeing the people suddenly coming in, the guards were stunned.
Jiang Chengkun saw everyone swallowing their saliva and understood what was going on.
"Let them have a meal with us."
The people looked at him in confusion, and Jiang Chengkun sighed deeply.
They started to cry while eating the hot vegetable porridge.
Jiang Chengkun, Master Zhou and others were all stunned: What’s going on? A group of men are crying in public?
Master Zhou began to select the captains of the police and found that everyone's expressions were more excited than before he came.
Master Zhou looked at the registration book and said, "Those who stayed behind include Namuqi, Endianli, and Yuzhaqi..."
Those whose names were not called out felt a little disappointed, and Jiang Chengkun looked at everyone.
"Can anyone cook?"
None of them are good at cooking.
