"This Zhao Yun has taken Zhao Jinlian to Tongren Mansion for half a month, and there has been no movement yet. Are these two people colluding and running away with the money?"
The fifth man shook his folding fan and muttered depressedly.
Soon, all fifty-one women bought from Shaanxi jumped off the carriage and lined up in three lines as required.
The fifth person began to lecture them: "Our place is called Chang'an Town. There is no shortage of food, drink, clothes, and housing."
"You will be selected by outstanding men in this town. Once you are selected as your wife, you will be assigned a wooden building, fifty kilograms of pork, twenty kilograms of liquor, two hundred kilograms of polished rice, five bolts of silk cloth, and salt. A few, and become official residents of our Chang'an Town."
Hearing that the treatment was so generous, all the women nodded: "We are willing to obey the eldest master's orders."
The fifth person explained: "I am the boss of this town and am in charge of all government affairs. You can call me the fifth boss or the fifth master, but please don't call me the big boss. There is no big boss here!"
"Yes, sir!"
"We remember it, sir!"
These women left their homes and were nervous after arriving in a strange place. The fifth woman did not blame them and continued to declare her demands.
"Now you come with me to live in the inner city. Ten people will live in a building temporarily. Each person will receive two pieces of cloth and one tael of silver. The cloth will be taken to a tailor shop to make clothes, and the money will be used to dress yourself."
"In addition, each house will provide you with bathtubs, bath towels, grain, vegetables, pork and other supplies. Just dress up and wait for the people to choose."
"As long as you are elected by Minzhuang, you can move out and live in your own house, start a new life, and become an official resident of our Chang'an Town."
After the fifth man finished his lecture, he led these newly arrived women through the bustling outer city and entered the inner city where there were many buildings and houses.
After the road construction was completed, the people who were practicing in the school field heard that the town committee had bought a group of women who would give everyone wives in the near future. They immediately started talking and expressing their opinions.
"The number of bachelors in our town is now close to 500. I heard that the number of women we have bought is only over 50. There are too many monks and not enough food to make ends meet!"
"What's the rush? Once this group comes, there will be the next group. Sooner or later, all the bachelors in the town will get wives."
"I don't want to marry a wife, otherwise I will have to support her with the work points I earn. I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry. The money I earn goes to Yihongyuan for whoring, and I can sleep with whoever I want. All the women in Yihongyuan belong to me. daughter in law!"
"Hehe... Liu Laoqi, you are really not ashamed to say this. You can have sex with others, but you can't? Is your wife willing to let others have sex?"
"When assigning daughters-in-law this time, we will definitely give priority to those brothers who are active and have solid kung fu. Liu Laoqi will not say sour grapes."
"Sigh... I wonder who will be lucky enough to be the first to choose a wife? We, Captain Jiang and Commander Liu, are both bachelors, why shouldn't they, who are officials, choose first?"
"You guys, Commander Jiang and Commander Liu are talented and powerful. Can they be compared with bachelors like us? They just don't want to find a woman. If they do, there are plenty of women to throw themselves at!"
"Okay, stop talking so much. If the company commander catches you, you will be punished again. If you want to get a wife, start practicing now!"
The fifth man was anxious to go back to the Senate for a drink, so he handed over the task of arranging these women to Chen Huang and Xu Youliang.
The current population of Chang'an Town has exceeded 3,000 people, and the existing number of people in the town committee is no longer qualified for the tedious work. Therefore, during this period, Fifth Place recruited 16 more literate people to join the management team.
Four of them were dispatched to "Chang'an College" as teachers, and under the leadership of the dean Chen Zhili, they performed the task of teaching and educating people.
These four people, plus Chen Zhili, Qi Lingwei, and Zhang Shusheng, brought the number of teachers in the college to seven, and Xu Youliang was transferred back to the town committee work.
In addition, the fifth person sent two intellectuals each to the Warehouse Bureau and Horse Breeding Bureau, and the remaining eight people followed Xu Youliang to serve in the town committee.
"Fifth Master, you can go and meet Commander Liu as soon as possible with peace of mind. Just leave the placement of these women to me."
Xu You was secretly happy when he received the fifth place order. He just took this opportunity to choose the most beautiful woman among them.
In Xu Youliang's view, he has taught conscientiously for two months, rain or shine, is kind to the children, and actively supports his leadership in everything.
There was a shortage of people in the college, so he was transferred to the college. The town committee was short of people, so he was transferred to the town committee. Just like a brick in Chang'an Town, it can be moved wherever it is needed.
The whole town selects activists, and I will definitely be on the list. If I don't take this opportunity to choose a wife, when will I wait?
Xu Youliang was choosing from left to right and fell in love with a woman named Yan. He gave various hints that he was attracted to her and planned to choose her as his wife.
This woman was not stupid. She knew that Xu Youliang was an official, so she promised that she would not suffer any loss if she followed him. She immediately reciprocated the favor and flirted with her.
Xu Youliang divided the fifty-one women into five groups according to the requirements of fifth place. Except for the fifth group with one more person, the other four groups were all ten people.
Each group has a dormitory, which is divided into upper and lower floors. Each dormitory has a group leader who is responsible for managing the group. This woman named Yan was directly appointed as the leader of a group by Xu Youliang.
After the arrangements were made, Xu Youliang took everyone to the warehouse to collect supplies and settled down.
"Sister Yan, come with me. The town committee has something to give you." Xu Youliang said to the woman named Yan without paying attention to the wine.
"Okay, Brother Xu."
The woman agreed and followed Xu Youliang meekly out of the crowd.
Everyone in the banquet hall exchanged glasses and toasted to each other.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhu Renxia said: "Brother Gongfu, you may not know that our new prefect of Liping Mansion is your Bole Li Yao Li."
"Oh... my benefactor has come to Liping to be the magistrate?" Liu Gongfu couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Zhu Renxia said: "A quick calculation shows that it has been almost a month and a half since Governor Li took office. However, because Liping has just experienced the baptism of war and is too close to Bozhou, Governor Li has been busy with defense and has not been able to take care of us. Chang'an Town."
"Why don't I take the time to go to Liping and pay a visit to Mr. Li?" Liu Gongfu stroked his beard and volunteered.
Zhu Renxia said: "You rest at home for a few days, and I will accompany you when you go to Liping. The warehouses in Liping City were looted by the rebels. I guess Mr. Li is short of money and food. I will donate some and invite Li on the way." The prefect officially upgraded our Chang'an Town to a town."
Everyone said: "This is a good idea. Magistrate Li has received money to meet his urgent needs. Our Chang'an Town has been recognized by the government and has been officially upgraded from a village to a town. We no longer have to worry about being troubled."
Zhu Renxia added: "The silver in the warehouse is less than 3,000 taels. I'd like to thank Fifth Master for going to Guilin to exchange for 10,000 taels."
"Okay, I'll be familiar with the road again, so I'll take care of it." The fifth person agreed.
Zhu Renxia added: "The women purchased from Shaanxi have been arranged. The first batch of women to be selected will be selected by the town committee and the Zhuang Committee through consultation. We must choose some people with a positive attitude and upright character, and let those who are not selected Be speechless and be convinced, so as not to cause any disputes.”
Everyone agreed: "We know, we will draw up a list today and tomorrow."
After the banquet was over, everyone dispersed.
After two days of consultation, the list of wife selection jointly formulated by the Chang'an Town Committee and the Zhuang Committee was officially released. Those on the list will be able to participate in the wife selection meeting in a few days and choose the woman of their choice to get married.
For a time, Chang'an Town was boiling.
The place where the notice was posted was crowded with people, and there was a lot of buzz and discussion.
"Ding Xiao, Xu Le, Hou Jie, Zhu Junjian, Ouyang Feng, Zhao Yun, Xu Youliang, Xu Youliang..."
The chosen ones were beaming with joy, while some envious ones sighed and were distressed.
Soon word spread among the crowd that company commander Ding Xiao, town committee member Zhao Yun, company commander Xu Le and others had no plans to choose wives. They could transfer their places to others.
As a result, some daughter-in-law fans began to beg their grandfathers and grandmothers to ask for help, hoping that someone would transfer the quota allocated to their wives to them.
Unfortunately, there were too many monks and too little food, and in the end, only seven or eight people succeeded in getting a spot to choose a wife.
