Thinking about the stall owner's attitude toward people just now, he looked at the lady beside him, Han Mu, without saying a word for a long time.
Although both of them were wearing bamboo hats and veils, it was impossible to see Miss Han Muxin's face, but the maid Cen Rong, who had followed Miss Han Muxin for many years, still knew her more or less.
"Don't worry about what happened just now. Your hands are not dirty at all." The maid Cen Rong said.
Although there was no title in this sentence, Han Muxin knew that the maid Cen Rong was doing this for his own safety.
After a long time, Miss Han Mu said in her heart: "It's okay, people are good and bad."
Listening to the young lady's words, the maid Cen Rong felt relieved.
After all, for such a Han Muxin who has never been on land, it is still a bit of a big blow to his heart.
In fact, if Miss Han Muxin had taken off her hat and veil just now, the attitude of the stall owner might have changed for the better just because of her beautiful appearance, and maybe he would have given her the sachet that Han Muxin couldn't put down. , but Han Muxin never did this.
The temperature in Liangcheng Mansion is constantly rising, and it is already the highest temperature of the day.
In this unbearably hot world, you can see that almost everyone passing by has large beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Some pedestrians' sweat has dripped onto their cheeks. If they wipe it with their hands, their unwashed faces this morning can be washed away. Haha, just kidding.
Despite the hot weather, Cen Rong and Zhu Han Muxin had not taken off their hats and veils. Only they knew whether it was hot or not.
At this time, by coincidence, Han Muxin and Cen Rong walked to the government office.
In fact, the two of them are still unfamiliar with this city. The roads in this city are also a bit complicated. If you don't pay attention, you may get lost.
I saw that there were several wooden tables and benches placed in front of the government office. There were also several officials and government servants busy, and some people were attracted around them.
"Rong'er." Miss Han Muxin called out.
After hearing the young lady's voice, the maid Cen Rong turned her head.
"What are they doing?" Han Muxin asked.
The maid Cen Rong looked hard, but because of the veil, the scenery she saw was not very clear and was mostly dark.
Cen Rong shook her head: "Why don't you take a look again."
Now, the two of them stood in front of the Yamen together with the people who had attracted them, watching what the Yamen would do.
Fortunately, Han Muxin, Cen Rong and the other common people who joined in the fun were not kept waiting too long. They saw the prefect Gu Jiantong walking out with a smile on his face.
The people of Liangcheng Prefecture were used to seeing the appearance of the prefect Gu Jiantong, but the outsiders were not used to seeing the appearance of the prefect Gu Jiantong. They couldn't bear to comment on his appearance.
No, look, before the official of the government office could say a word, the people standing in front of the government office were whispering about the appearance of the prefect Gu Jiantong.
However, the distance was not very close, and the words that no one was talking about were different. The prefect Gu Jiantong did not hear them talking about him, and all he heard was a lot of noise.
Even with the veil, it was difficult to cover the face of the prefect Gu Jiantong. Miss Han Muxin couldn't help but said: "Why is this person so ugly?"
Hearing the lady's words and the noise around her, fearing that the officials might hear what the lady Han Muxin said, the maid Cen Rong hurriedly advised her: "Shh, don't talk, just take a look."
Just when Miss Han Mu was thinking about asking why she couldn't speak, the prefect Gu Jiantong shouted.
"Fellow fellows! Be quiet! Be quiet! Listen to what I have to say!" Magistrate Gu Jiantong shouted.
Although the prefect's face did look a bit careless, after all, he was an official, so the people kept their mouths shut for this reason.
Seeing that he was speechless, the prefect Gu Jiantong shouted: "Dear fellow citizens of Liangcheng Prefecture! The imperial court has issued an order for us officials to form a militia team! Stationed at various coastal ports to strictly guard against foreign Japanese pirates , keep the people of our country safe!"
"Today! Here! Several tables have been set up, and everyone has seen it. The court said that after joining the militia, the family will not have to pay taxes for the rest of their lives! The court has a condition. The person who joins must be an orphan. Either you have only one relative in your family or is still alive! In other words, your parents are still alive in the family. Except for you, the only ones who can work in this family are your parents. If you have a brother in the family, you cannot join, but if you have a sister, Or my sister, you can’t join either!”
After saying this, and because the sun was really hot, the prefect Gu Jiantong had to stop talking and take a sip of tea from the table.
At this moment, seeing that the prefect Gu Jiantong was still drinking tea and not talking, a bold commoner asked: "What if I have parents, grandparents, and grandparents in my family?"
After listening, the prefect Gu Jiantong calmly put down the tea and said: "The imperial court has regulations. If you are in this situation, your grandparents cannot do heavy work, but you can still join. I will tell you later. To explain, you are the only one in your family who is motivated to work, and the rest are not. Anyone who has no brothers or sisters can join, but not vice versa. Also, you can join if you are an orphan."
After listening to the explanation given by the prefect Gu Jiantong, the common people finally understood and started discussing in private.
Seeing that no one had asked again for a long time, the prefect Gu Jiantong looked at Wen Tongzhi beside him and said, "Let's get started."
After hearing the voice of the prefect, Wen Tongzhi raised his head, looked at the common people with his eyes, and said: "Now, those who meet the requirements, come forward and write down your name and your family situation!"
I saw that after Wen Tongzhi's words, many people came forward and sat on the benches. Those who could write would do it by themselves, and those who couldn't would be helped by petty officials.
"What's your name?"
"Cen Yong."
"Who is at home?"
"My parents."
"Is anyone in poor health?"
"My dad."
"What's wrong?"
"My father's legs are disabled and he can't work."
"Where's your mother?"
"My mother is in good health."
"Can you do heavy work?"
"cannot."
…
Looking at the people sitting on the benches in front of the yamen, they were talking about the situation in their homes and were ready to join in. The young lady Han Mu, who was standing in the crowd, said to her heart: "Follow me."
"Where to go?" The maid Cen Rong didn't understand.
"Try it."
Seeing this, Miss Han Muxin said something and then walked away, and the maid Cen Rong hurriedly followed her.
