Chapter 18 Talent Preference
Yi Shuyuan did not wait until the day after tomorrow to leave. Instead, he packed everything and prepared to leave for Yuanjiang County at dawn the next day.
As for the luggage, there wasn't much. Yi Shuyuan only brought the mottled mahogany box and a few spare clothes. It can be said that he traveled lightly and simply in the true sense.
Yi Shuyuan believed that even if there was a shortage of bed sheets and quilts, he could discuss it with the chief clerk and make up for it. Even if the county government did not have it, it would not be a problem to advance a little salary or even borrow it from others.
Today, Yi Shuyuan did not ask Yi Yongan to follow him. After all, he was not a child anymore. If he knew the way, there was no need for him to go all the way back and forth.
Early in the morning, chickens and dogs were heard in the village, but not many people came out for activities.
The family arrived at the gate of the hospital, while Yi Baokang and Yi Yong'an and his son sent Yi Shuyuan to the village.
"Okay, don't send me away, go back."
Yi Shuyuan turned around and urged the father and son to go home. Yi Baokang looked behind him, took out a bag from his arms and stuffed it into Yi Shuyuan.
"Brother, even if you have found a job, how can you survive before you are paid if you are penniless? This money is not much, so just keep it!"
Yi Shuyuan did not refuse, let alone say any polite words. He nodded and took Yi Baokang's money bag.
"Uncle, don't forget us, please come back often!"
Seeing Yi Yong'an's reaction, Yi Shuyuan was happy.
"Yong'an, I'm not going far away, and I won't run away from the county seat. If you miss me, just come and find me. Do you remember what I said?"
Yi Shuyuan blinked his eyes, and Yi Baokang suddenly remembered the scene where his uncle wanted to treat him to some hard food, and his face suddenly burst into smiles.
"Uh, just me?"
"You can bring as many people as you want, as long as I can afford your uncle! Take care, Yong'an, and remember to help your father more."
"Why!"
After Yi Shuyuan finished speaking, he left amid the reminders of Yi Baokang and Yi Yongan.
After walking about a mile away, Yi Shuyuan opened the money bag and took a look. There were dozens of copper coins and two pieces of broken silver as big as fingernails, which was not a small amount for the Yi family.
------------------
Without the burden of Yi Yong'an, Yi Shuyuan's footsteps were much faster than last time. It should be quite some time before noon, and he had already arrived outside the county town.
Because he arrived earlier, Yi Shuyuan saw more people entering the city at the city gate this time than last time. Some farmers came in carrying some goods, and there were even some oxcarts carrying wooden barrels with living water inside to raise fish.
.
Things like this type of vegetables and fresh seafood must be found before they can be easily sold.
The last time he came to Yuanjiang County, Yi Shuyuan was somewhat cautious, but this time his attitude was much more relaxed, well, at least that was the case before arriving at the county government office.
As people flowed into the city, Yi Shuyuan did not wander around, but immediately rushed to the direction of the county government office.
At the side entrance of the Yuanjiang County Yamen, the two people on duty were still the same, and Yi Shuyuan's recognition was still relatively high. What's more, the two of them had been paying more attention recently after being warned by the chief clerk, so they found him carrying a baggage all the way.
Yi Shuyuan came over.
"Is that Mr. Yi?" "I think it looks like him!"
"You stay here and I'll go over there!"
The officer who took Yi Shuyuan into the county government office last time gave instructions to his companions, then left his post and hurriedly walked towards Yi Shuyuan. The closer he got, the clearer he could see him. Before he got there, he was already walking with his hands in his hands and saluting.
"Mr. Yi, I thought it would have to wait until tomorrow. Come and let me get it for you!"
"No, no, no, it's not heavy at all."
Yi Shuyuan hurriedly refused. He was a civil servant and not an official. It was impossible for him to be out of breath after being polite.
The two of them quickly came to the county government office, and then quickly went inside. It was still the same room. Before anyone arrived, the officer had already announced loudly.
"Master Registrar, Mr. Yi is here!"
Last time, Wu Minggao allowed Yi Shuyuan to be brought in, but this time the other party hurried out to greet him and handed him over as soon as he walked out.
"Mr. Yi can come early, which really makes me put my worries aside. I was worried that he wouldn't come. If he doesn't come tomorrow, I will definitely go to Xihe Village to find you in person!"
Yi Shuyuan didn't dare to be negligent and was busy returning the favor.
"I didn't want to keep the Registrar waiting for a long time, and I had nothing to do at home, so I came one day early. If it's convenient for you, you can send someone to take you down to see where you work. Well, there is also a place to stay...
..."
Yi Shuyuan still hopes to settle down as soon as possible.
"What Mr. Yi said is true, please come with me..."
As he said this, Wu Minggao looked at the guard beside him.
"Go and make preparations for me. Check whether the bed, bedding, etc. are all available. If not, go and get it done as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
The officer went quickly.
Yi Shuyuan finally came to his senses. Wu Minggao called himself "I" in front of him, and "my officer" in front of the guards. It seemed that he really valued himself very much. Fortunately, it took some effort to write that day!
"Mr. Yi, please! Let's go see the library first, and also talk to Mr. Yi about various places in the county government."
"Oh, thank you, sir!"
Yi Shuyuan followed Wu Minggao. He didn't know under what circumstances the chief secretary would personally act as a tour guide, but it was obviously not common.
It wasn't until he went deep into the county government office that Yi Shuyuan realized that the situation inside was not as simple as what he had understood while watching TV.
If you are used to watching the royal family and court officials in TV dramas, you may think that it is just a small county government, but for the land and water of Yuanjiang County, this is the sky above your head.
The organization of the county government is not simple. There are sixty or seventy rooms of various sizes. There are three classes and six rooms, divided into three classes: Zao, Zhuang, Kuai, and six rooms for officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers.
, Yuanjiang County is not an important military location, and the barracks are empty, but there are also five rooms.
On weekdays, the government officials who guard the city gates, those who stand in court and shout "mighty", those who track down and apprehend prisoners, those who guard the cells, etc. look similar in the TV series, but in fact they are all different, and Yi Shuyuan is considered to be the one who
Among the ceremonial rooms.
Of course, the money and food available to the county government is limited, and there cannot be too many people in each place. Sometimes, when mutual help is needed, it is not too clear.
Wu Minggao explained to Yi Shuyuan as he walked. When passing through some places, he would be seen by officials within the government office. Some people couldn't help but chat in private. Who actually asked the chief clerk to personally introduce the county government?
As he went deeper into the yamen, Yi Shuyuan also gradually understood the weight of the word "official".
Many people in their previous lives had never even heard of the term "chief registrar". Perhaps only the county magistrate was "qualified" to hear it, but here, the entire county government actually only has four types: the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county captain, and the chief registrar.
An individual is an "official" with a real rank, establishment and salary, and all others are "officials" who are recruited and supported by the county government independently.
"Here we are, this is the library, where your husband will work in the future. All the four treasures of the study are available!"
Wu Minggao took Yi Shuyuan into a spacious and bright room. There were many bookshelves filled with various books. On the desk in the middle, there were the four treasures of the study. There were six pens on the pen shelf.
Different pens.
Wu Minggao gently stroked his beard on one side, observing Yi Shuyuan's reaction, and thought to himself, I spent some effort to arrange it, so it should still be able to catch his eye.
However, Yi Shuyuan didn't offer any special reaction, he just looked around and turned around.
"Uh, Lord Registrar, if Yi remembers correctly, the notice said that two people were to be recruited. Where is the other colleague, but he has not been recruited yet?"
Wu Minggao smiled slightly awkwardly, and after thinking about it for a moment, he told the truth.
"Actually, since my husband came here, I have ordered people to put up the notice. I hope that you can compile the county annals on your own, and I also ask your respect!"
After reading Yi Shuyuan's calligraphy, how could Wu Minggao still have the thought to ask someone to help? Is that help? That is a disservice! I am Yuanjiang County, and a county chronicle can be a treasure, so why do I have to write out two words?
A face?
Yes, it’s just a treasure, that’s what Wu Minggao thinks. It’s hard for others to find a single word of famous works, but my entire "Yuanjiang County Chronicle" is full of them. Isn’t it awesome?
Thinking of this, Wu Minggao couldn't help but smile.
Yi Shuyuan saw Wu Minggao stroking his beard and smiling after he finished speaking, so he didn't say much more. Just be alone. It's good that I make all the money, but it might be a bit boring.
"That being the case, I will be working here from today on."
Wu Minggao also came to his senses, pointed at the book case and added.
"If you have any other needs, sir, please be sure to let us know and I will try my best to help you!"
"must!"
Yi Shuyuan salutes you, talents are still given preferential treatment!
