Chapter 29

What do petty officials do?

In a nutshell, a petty official is a minion who does things for you, carries a pot for you, breaks his leg when he has something to do, and has nothing to do.

Of course, petty officials also had some power in their hands. But this power is good for ordinary people. If he is a petty official with an evil mind, he can really cause a lot of things by relying on his power.

Master Xu is talking about the family of farming and reading.

Although old Xu and second Xu have no talent for studying, they have been in school and are sensible.

The brothers also understood what petty officials did.

So when Zuo Qiu said that he was going to work as a petty official, they both shrank back. Fortunately, their father has not been confused and has not been squinted by the petty interests in front of him.

"My Lord, the two sons of the grass people, you see, they don't know anything except their strength. If you really let them go to the yamen, you will be in trouble! "

"Besides, what the grassroots do is what they should do!"

"You can't be rewarded!"

……

When Mr. Xu refused Zuochu's reward, Mr. Guan's eyes were filled with hatred. However, in front of Zuochu, Mr. Guan did not dare to interrupt.

Zuo Qiu thought for a moment and said, "brother Xu, I'm an official. I've always been clear about rewards and punishments. How can you not appreciate the great achievements you have made today? "

"Well, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver in the name of the county government!"

"My Lord, I can't, I can't, too much, too much!"

On hearing Zuo Qiu's words, master Xu waved his hand.

One hundred taels of silver. If his family suddenly gets one hundred taels of silver, can they live in peace?

"My Lord, the grass people should not be rewarded like this. Why don't you use this hundred taels of silver to build roads for our village? "

If you take this hundred taels of silver now, it will definitely be hot.

Although Mr. Xu has some means, his family has more than one hundred taels of silver, which will really cause a lot of disputes. At this time, more is better than less!

Don't look at Mr. Xu's disdain for the remaining evils of the previous dynasty in front of Mrs. Xu, but in his heart, he still doesn't want his family to be targeted by those people.

Therefore, he can't accept all these rewards, such as money and other things.

Wealth is the bane!

Finally, under the repeated entreaties of master Xu, Zuo Qiu agreed to his proposal, and the county government paid money to build roads. On the labor side, in addition to the normal Ding service, the village people who are involved in road construction can get a certain amount of money according to their daily work.

After this, Mr. Xu succeeded in gaining a reputation in Lingshui village.

After all, it's a good thing for everyone to make money, but every family can benefit from it.

Then there is the road repair, the village people have followed the convenience.

When everything was done, Mr. Xu took the village leader and called for several residents in the village. Then he renovated a table of wine and vegetables at home and gave a warm reception to Zuo Qiu and his party.

Chicken, duck and fish are very rich.

Chicken is pheasant, duck is wild duck, fish is caught by villagers from Taohua River, meat is rabbit.

In addition to the chicken, duck and fish, there are all kinds of vegetables and eggs.

In a word, this meal is really of high standard.

When Zuo Qiu and his party were sent away, Mr. Xu went to see Mrs. Xu.

"Daughter in law, I have an idea!"

Mr. Xu came close to Mrs. Xu, "I'll tell you something, and you can count it for me!"
