Guge wanted to know how Zhaojiazhuang arranged it.
But the queue was too long, and I didn’t know when it would be his family’s turn and how Zhaojiazhuang would arrange them.
Thinking of this, he became a little anxious and stared at the moving team.
It was strange to say that later on, the queue kept moving faster and faster.
Guge didn't believe it at first. He rubbed his eyes and realized that this was true.
Is it really because of the blessing of Bodhisattva that the speed increased? Guge thought this way.
The Guge family is now well fed, in good spirits, and looking forward to the inside of the wall.
After a stick of incense, they finally arrived at the gate of the Jianguo Mansion.
Guge finally understood the reason why the speed was getting faster and faster. There were two queues outside, and eight queues inside.
There is a table at the end of each queue. Han Chinese wearing scribes' clothes sit next to the table, asking questions and registering at the same time.
There was no time for tea, and the Guge family quickly came to the table.
This person is Xiao Huadong, the chief registrar. Because so many people came, he participated in the registration.
The people who came today were all Tubo chabas, and their whole bodies exuded a strong smell, which made Xiao Huadong frown.
In fact, Tubo people bathe once a month in December of a year to choose auspicious days. They choose auspicious days to bathe every month.
But these can only be enjoyed by nobles. How can they enjoy these without even having enough food and clothing?
While Xiao Huadong looked at these bad guys, he unknowingly recalled every detail of his departure from the capital.
From the capital to Xixian, and then from Xixian to Tubo, Xiao Huadong felt that great changes had taken place in his life.
He was just a small official in the capital, and there were also officials above him, not to mention officials.
It was precisely because he was a low-ranking official that he wanted to try his luck.
It turned out that he had pinned his hopes on Xi County, but he didn't expect that Xi County was already full of talents and had already made arrangements.
Although Xi County did not get the ideal location, it was not without gains.
Here, he met the young lady he loved and made a lifelong commitment.
Under the arrangement of Zhaojiazhuang, he came to Tubo and was promoted to an official position almost overnight.
Xiao Huadong's superior handled the crisis of Jialuo's frame-up extremely well, exposed Jialuo's conspiracy in broad daylight, and maintained the good image of Jianguo Mansion and Zhaojiazhuang in Tubo.
As a result, he made meritorious service and was transferred from the official position to the chief register in advance.
Only then did Xiao Huadong understand that although the rank of the officials was also ninth grade, one was temporary and the other official.
According to the regulations of Zhaojiazhuang, it usually takes one year to transfer from the official to the main bookkeeper.
But there is a special situation, that is, there is a major meritorious service.
Xiao Huadong appeared in Tubo for the first time. He handled the crisis extremely well and made great achievements.
Of course, there is another reason for Xiao Huadong to become a regular employee, and that is his fiancée Ren Xiaoniang.
Mrs. Ren is a distant relative of the little saint's aunt, so Wang Wenxiu has to consider her more or less.
However, if there is gain, there must be sacrifice. Tubo and the Song Dynasty are completely different worlds.
Although Zhaojiazhuang has established a firm foothold here, the situation here is complicated.
There is no real government here. The nobles, large and small, are the government of their own territories, and they are the local emperors. Zampu is just a puppet in name.
Zanpu is somewhat like the Emperor of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period. Below him are nobles of all sizes, and there are vassal kingdoms one after another.
Unlike the weak Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, the Little Saint was extremely strong.
Not only did they supervise the country of Tubo, but the security team also defeated the original prime minister Ge and the current right prime minister Jia Luo. At the same time, he gained many followers and became Manjushri Bodhisattva. It can be said that he has firmly established himself in Tubo.
What's even more gratifying is that, less than a month after I came here, I have been promoted to the position of principal.
You should know that Pu Yi who came with him was still a pian official with the title of ninth grade official, and had not yet become the chief registrar.
He was extremely happy, feeling that the smell emanating from these Tibetan people was no longer so unpleasant.
Not only that, Xiao Huadong also edited a letter for Mrs. Ren of Jingyuan Restaurant in West County, hoping that she could share his joy.
After Miss Ren received the letter, her only maid Cuihua also watched.
Of course, her literacy is not as good as Miss Ren's, and she can only recognize some words.
But it didn't matter. She couldn't understand the words so she asked Miss Ren.
Cuihua finally finished reading the letter and couldn't help but twist her mouth: "Official Xiao looks so proud."
"I was promoted to the position of principal in less than a month. I am already a formal official. Of course I am happy." Mrs. Ren thought for a while and finally said.
Cuihua saw the smile on Mrs. Ren's face and couldn't help pouring cold water on her: "Without Mrs. Ren's support, would he be able to become a regular employee so quickly?"
"Of course there is some support from the family." Mrs. Ren nodded and acknowledged this.
Seeing the proud smile on Cuihua's face, Miss Ren smiled lightly: "If Mr. Xiao is not capable of handling crises, even if Mr. Wang wants to promote him, he can't find a reason."
"Sure enough, girls are outgoing, and the ancients would not bully me." Cuihua suddenly said a sour word, making Miss Ren stunned.
Miss Ren put down the letter in her hand, and stretched out her teeth and claws towards Cuihua's arm: "You are neither big nor small, and you are planning to be your master. Let's see how I punish you."
After saying that, she took a breath with her hands and stretched them towards Cuihua's armpits.
Cuihua was most afraid of being tickled by others, and her face turned pale when she saw Miss Ren's actions.
Although it's winter now, the sweater I'm wearing can't resist being tickled by the little lady.
"Help, help, help." Cuihua yelled and ran away desperately.
With Miss Ren chasing after her, the master and servant were filled with joy.
Xiao Huadong naturally didn't know that Cuihua, the maid, was arranging for him. He was now arranging for Guge's family.
When Guge saw Xiao Huadong, who was dressed in a scholar's attire and was gentle and elegant, he couldn't help but lower his head in shame.
Their family members all wore paper clothes and kept chattering.
Especially compared to Xiao Huadong, who was clean and tidy, his four children seemed to have come out of the stove, all black and dirty, with mud on their faces.
Although Xiao Huadong was a little unhappy, the customs here were like this, and these bad guys just fainted because they had no food, so naturally they couldn't ask for too much.
He took a sip of Zui Chunfeng and felt better.
Xiao Huadong had a smile on his face and glanced at Gu Ge. He was tall and strong.
He nodded and asked in a deep voice: "Guge, can you carry the load?"
"Tell me, my lord, I have no problem carrying a load or carrying a basket." Guge didn't know why Xiao Huadong asked these questions, so he bowed and answered honestly.
YY
He asked Jianshen who was sitting next to him: "Jianshen, what do you think of this person?"
Jian Shen was extremely happy now. Not only did she get a ten-guan delivery card that fell from the sky with a bowl of black petrolatum, but she also sold a land with almost no harvest for ten-guan delivery card.
With these 20 pick-up cards, the life of the whole family has changed drastically.
He originally only had four mud houses, which were not only leaky but also unsafe.
Now he directly gave these four mud houses to relatives and friends, and spent a ten thousand pick-up card to buy a three-story Shiche building.
He also spent five copper coins to buy a yak.
Yaks are not only convenient for transportation, but also a reflection of status. Only nobles have yaks.
Living in a high-rise building and having a yak, what can we do without new clothes?
Another twenty copper coins were spent to buy new clothes for the seven members of the family, including his parents and children.
Now that winter is here, of course paper clothes cannot withstand the cold, so I have to put on a full sweater set.
Of course, it would cost a lot to buy new clothes for the whole family. Fortunately, he is now from Zhaojiazhuang and can enjoy a 10% discount.
He still had five guans of copper coins at home, which he put to use to buy five dans of highland barley, enough to feed the whole family for a year.
All the money Zhaojiazhuang gave him was spent, what should he do?
This is easy to handle. Three children are admitted to Zhaojiazhuang for free.
More importantly, Zhaojiazhuang gave him a way to survive, which was to work as a foreman looking for petroleum jelly, no less than four times a month.
If you find petroleum jelly, there will be a reward, at least four strings, or even more.
His Namadawa also has a job, weaving sweaters in the Zhaojiazhuang sweater workshop, earning more than two thousand dollars a month.
It can be said that, except that there is no Lanson in his family, he has basically entered the ranks of the minor aristocrats.
His whole family believed that they were able to transform from a poor poor man into a semi-noble man because of the care of Manjushri Bodhisattva (Zhao Ping).
In order to be grateful, they also spent 50 coins to buy a baby-sized statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
This statue of Zhao Ping is placed at the highest position on the third floor. The first thing you do when you get up every day is to burn incense to Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Now Xiao Huadong is asking for his opinion, which is to find him men who can search for petroleum jelly.
Jianshen looked at Guge, nodded, with a smile on his face, bowed to Xiao Huadong, and said: "Master, this person is strong and strong, not bad, not bad."
Searching for petroleum jelly requires, of course, strong physical strength and a good carrying ability.
"Guge, you are working with Jianshen now to help him find petroleum jelly. As for the salary, it is two copper coins in the first month, and it will be upgraded to three coins after you become proficient." Xiao Huadong looked at Guge and made arrangements immediately.
Gu Ge couldn't help but be overjoyed. His harvest this year was extremely poor, and his income for the whole year was only two or three times. He didn't expect that his income in one month here was basically equivalent to the previous year.
It seems that those rumors are indeed true. If you worship Manjushri Bodhisattva, you will be happy in this life.
There is a statue of Zhao Ping next to the desk. He and his family bowed respectfully to Zhao Ping's statue.
Guge was happy, but someone was not too happy.
This person is none other than Nama Puchi from Guge.
After all, there are four children at home, and now they basically have no food or clothing.
The key thing is that I am still young, less than thirty, and only twenty-five.
She thought for a while, and finally stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Huadong: "Master, I'm not thirty yet, so I can still do things."
Although Pu Chi had the courage to say it, he was still embarrassed and lowered his head after speaking.
"Dawa, what do you think of this person?" Xiao Huadong nodded and asked Dawa, who was also sitting next to him.
When Pu Chi looked at this woman who was similar to himself, he didn't know what she did, and he suddenly became nervous.
After all, Zhaojiazhuang has found a good living for his Awo, and their family has solved the problem of food and clothing.
Dawa is the one who made ginseng, and she was also the woman who discovered petroleum jelly.
Zhaojiazhuang did not treat her badly, and now she is also a foreman in a sweater workshop.
Weaving sweaters is much easier, with a monthly salary of three guans.
She looked at Pubu's hands that had become rough due to long-term work, and nodded: "This person is diligent and should get started quickly."
After hearing this, Pu Chi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know how much this salary was, so he thought uneasily.
"Pu Chi, you will learn to knit sweaters from Dawa now." Xiao Huadong smiled at Pu Bu and said very kindly, "As for the salary, it is one copper coin in the first month, and two coins after you become proficient."
What is a sweater and how to knit it? Pu Chi felt that his brain was at a loss.
If you don't know how to knit, Zhaojiazhuang won't drive you out.
Pu Chi immediately knelt down with a bang and almost cried when he faced Xiao Huadong: "Master, the slave family has never seen any sweaters, let alone knitting. Don't you want to leave the slave family?"
After saying that, she kept kowtowing to Xiao Huadong. She cherished this way of survival too much.
Even if you were a novice, not to mention a seasoned person, your income would be better than growing grain for Jialuo.
"It doesn't matter. Dawa is your teacher and your foreman. She will teach you how to learn to knit until you know how to do it." Xiao Huadong helped Pu Chi and motioned her to get up.
Pu Chi couldn't help but be overjoyed. He took his family to the statue of Zhao Ping and knelt three times and bowed nine times.
Then, she herself kowtowed respectfully to Xiao Huadong and Dawa, expressing her deep gratitude.
While she was happy, she suddenly thought that she had four children.
The four children are of different sizes, the eldest is ten years old and the youngest is only three years old.
There are no parents at home because their parents have died. What will happen to these children now?
Pu Chi thought for a moment, then knelt down to Xiao Huadong again, kowtowed and said, "Master, I don't have these four children with me. I want to take care of them while working."
"This won't work. If they are around you, they will affect your work." Xiao Huadong shook his head and sighed.
Pu Chi couldn't help but burst into tears. This man was right. With four children, how could he do good things?
She kowtowed to Xiao Huadong and said sadly while sobbing: "Master, I won't do anything anymore. Go home and take care of your children in peace."
"No, this won't work." Xiao Huadong shook his head, looked at her and said.
Why doesn't this work and that doesn't work? Pu Chi couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Xiao Huadong with tears in his eyes: "Master, why not?"
"Of course you still do your job. Zhaojiazhuang will naturally have arrangements for these four children?" Xiao Huadong said kindly.
What kind of arrangement is this? My child will not be regarded as Langsheng, right? Pu Chi suddenly blurted out: "They also have to do work?"
If I had known this, I wouldn't have thought it would be safer to let them work at home under their own supervision.
Guge stood aside and turned pale when he heard this, with an angry look on his face unconsciously.
"They are too young, of course we won't let them work." Seeing Pu Chi's expression, he knew she had misunderstood, "They should study."
"Studying. Only noble families can study. Can the children of the slave family study?" Pu Chi couldn't believe his ears.
When Gu Ge heard this, he thought he was in a dream.
He pinched himself hard and hit his back. It was very painful before he believed it was true.
Xiao Huadong nodded, with a smile on his face, and his tone was still kind: "Since you believe in Manjushri Bodhisattva, of course it is true."
"But the slave family has two children who are not young. Can they also study?" Pubu said while looking at the two younger children.
She only saw the two eldest ones looking very happy when they heard the reading. It was obvious that they liked reading.
But when the two little ones heard that they wanted to study, they burst into tears: "Well, we don't want to study, we want to be with you."
