Chapter 031 Recruitment
The two entrances to Pingnan County have sent more personnel and strengthened the inspection of people entering the city. Notices for the recruitment of righteous braves by county government officials have been posted in prominent places throughout the city. After the people learned the news, they gathered enthusiastically at the gate of the county government to queue up to sign up because they wanted to earn money to feed the lives of the whole family.
Since Zhang Chi took office, all kinds of harsh and miscellaneous taxes have drained almost all of the people. Naturally, the people will not let go of the opportunity to make money in order to make a living. Although they all know the danger of being brave, it is hundreds of times better than starving to death. Those who have followed Lin Zi to guard the wall know that he is a loyal man, so he can always get the money he deserves.
The county government is surrounded by thousands of strong men gathered. They know that the number of places recruited this time is very limited, so they are more or less worried. Chu Dalang, dressed in fast official clothes, led more than a dozen of his unofficial subordinates to maintain the order at the gate of the government office.
"You all line up for me. If that one dares to mess around, he can be disqualified." Chu Dalang pressed the handle of the knife with his left hand and scolded vigorically, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I was saying?"
After saying that, he stood on the steps of the county government gate and looked around at the people who wanted to sign up. Suddenly, he had a sense of superiority in his heart. Nowadays, people will be called 'Master Fast' by others. Thinking of this, Chu Dalang cleared his throat again and held his head high.
"Little rabbit, don't you start to know me after wearing an official coat?" A slightly old, low voice came from behind Chu Dalang, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction with him.
Chu Dalang, who suddenly became angry, turned around and cursed loudly: "TMD's search..."
Before the word 'death' came out of his mouth, an angry face instantly turned into a smiling face and said, "It turned out that Dad is here. I thought it was that ignorant bastard!"
Chu Da, with his hands behind his back, slowly walked to him accompanied by his second son.
"You don't always stay at home and come here to join in the fun." Chu Dalang, who did not dare to neglect, took two steps forward and looked at his brother and said, "Is it possible that Dad wants his second brother to be brave?"
"This is what I mean. Even if you can become a catcher, you can't see your own brother continue to work hard for the big families in the city. There is no doubt in Chu Da's tone.
Chu Dalang, who is inconvenient to say here, brought his second brother and his own father into a corner of the government office and said in a low voice: "It's hard to work for a large family. After all, there is no life in danger. It's a dangerous job to be brave. You're always going to harm Erlang, are you? I advise you to take him home."
Chu Da, who was stubborn by nature, suddenly became angry and said, "If Zimo hadn't given our face to the Chu family, would you have this official dress? When you eat the emperor's grain, you begin to disrecognize your own brother and father. Don't forget that Zimo is my son-in-law. As long as I go to him and say it, I will make you unable to eat royal rice and wear royal clothes.
Chu Dalang had a feeling of being wronged and said, "Dad, look at what you always say. How can I not recognize you and Erlang? Yiyong's job is really difficult to do. After all, his life is in danger. I also have to face life and death, and your boss doesn't want to wait for you to wear filial piety for you a hundred years later, do you?
"Don't make it difficult for the eldest brother." Chu Erlang hurriedly persuaded his father, "Let's go home, and I still continue to do my old business. I'll buy meat for your old wine and show you good respect.
Chu Da pointed to his second son and scolded, "You are really a useless stupid thing. You are fooled by your eldest brother in a few words, and you don't know what a good opportunity it is in front of you. You have a far-hit future for the rest of your life. Look at your father, I don't know everything."
"However, the eldest brother is also reasonable. It is always dangerous for him to eat with a knife. If you really have a long time, you can't do it if there is no one nearby. Chu Erlang, who is simple and honest, told the truth.
Chu Da shook his head and taught his second son, "Now, there is someone in our government. You are afraid of a ball!" If you become a hero, it's just a matter of going through the motions. If you really behave a little better, your brother Mo will definitely promote you. Your eldest brother just walked around the wall with your brother Mo, and was immediately promoted to the position of fast arrest by him. I won't believe that Zimo is willing to let you do dangerous things. As for me, you don't have to worry. There is still your unskilled third sister at home, and your little sister is always from the Lin family. She should take care of you.
Chu Erlang is not afraid of eating with a knife, but can't worry about his father. However, Chu Dalang is not as filial as his brother. After all, he knows that it is better to be taken care of by Lin Zimo alone than to share it with his second brother. He didn't want his brother to steal his weight in and out of the Lin family and the limelight outside.
"Dad, you really are. Since the second brother doesn't want to, why do you have to embarrass him? Chu Dalang said with a little worry in his heart.
Chu Da knows his eldest son, after all, that's his seed. His eldest son seems to be thick, but there are many small ones in his heart. I love my youngest son very much and definitely want to give him a good future. The filial Chu Erlang knows his father's intentions, and the depths of his heart are also looking forward to making a career to better filial to him.
"That's it." Chu Da was resolute: "Erlang will follow your brother Mo to eat the imperial grain."
Hearing this, Chu Dalang's heart was half cold, but he didn't continue to stop it. After all, he was really afraid of angering his own father. At home, although Chu Hanlu liked his eldest brother very much, his status and weight in his little sister's heart still could not surpass their parents.
Chu Dalang was at the front and led his father and brother to Lin Zimo's government office. Lin Zimo, sitting in the circle chair, saw three people coming in at the same time. Although I didn't see them speak, I already have a general idea in my heart. I believe that it is impossible for the Chu family to come here to chat with him.
He didn't get up and motioned Chu Da to sit down on the chair next to him, and he seized the time to read the text in his hand. Chu Da, who kept a smile on his face, slowly sat down and looked at his son-in-law's office. He never dreamed that he could become a guest of the county government office. The two brothers of the Chu family were not qualified to sit down, so they stood behind their father.
Lin Zimo called the little man to make a cup of tea for Chu Dalang, and Chu Da, who entered the county government for the first time, was very excited and said, "This place is really good."
"Since you always feel good, come and sit more when you have time." Lin Zimo, who picked up the teacup, smiled.
"This is not a place where villains can often go in and out." Chu Da, who knows his own name, holds the tea ceremony in his hands.
Lin Zimo, who had known his intention for a long time, knew that the consultant said, "What's wrong with you? If I can do it, I will do it for you immediately. If you can't do it, don't blame me. After all, I'm not the only one who has the final say on things in Pingnan County. At my top, there is also Lord Zhang of Zhixian County.
Chu Da, who put down the tea in his hand, turned sideways and pulled his second son closer and said, "The purpose of my coming here is to hope that you can accept our little sister's un talented second brother. Although my son is a little thick and stupid, he is very obedient. If you leave him to do things for you, it will be your kindness to our Chu family.
Since he has said this, if Lin Zimo doesn't accept the second brother of the Chu family, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to face the Chu family in the future. Even if Chu Hanlu is only his concubine, and Chu Da is not his righteous father-in-law, he still wants to accept the teenager in front of him who looks a little dull.
"There is no problem leaving him." Lin Zimo took a good look at the second brother of the Chu family and said, "I'll give you two choices. One is to stay by my side to run errands for me, and the other is to go down and practice bravely. Let me know when you think about it."
Chu Erlang, who couldn't make up his mind, looked at Chu Da and asked for advice, "Dad, which one do you think I should choose?"
"You have to decide for yourself." Lin Zimo seemed to blow the tea in the cup leisurely and said, "Do you stay to do errands for the government office to listen to your father's words or your boss?"
"Since your brother Mo has already said something, you dare to choose it." Chu Da was anxious about his loyal son and said, "Listen to your father's words, but your brother Mo's words are even more important."
Chu Erlang, who seemed to get the answer, said cautiously, "Then I will choose to be brave below."
"Yes, ambitious." Lin Zimo, who put down the teacup in his hand, encouraged him, "As long as you work hard, you will naturally have a day to rise, and building achievements can be regarded as a real man's sweat."
Chu Erlang, who was moved, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him and said, "I will definitely do it well and won't humiliate you and your father."
Lin Zimo, who didn't like this set, immediately called him to get up. Chu Erlang, who is full of warmth in his heart, is not a confused person. He understands that Lin Zimo is interested in cultivating himself, otherwise he would not have said the above words.
After the matter was successfully completed, the father and son of the Chu family did not dare to disturb Lin Zimo's work any more, so they left gratefully.
