If only all examiners were so generous.
There is no need for Huang San and his people to act like bad guys every day and exploit the poor people who have nothing left.
Even though they were outside, all the lower-class people had to call him "official master".
In fact, only inside the government office did they know that the inside was extremely dark.
Huang San and other yamen runners in remote areas have become the main targets of deductions. The yamen has already owed them half a year's wages.
Moreover, the monthly salary of a yamen runner was not the full amount. Out of the 800 wen a month, you actually only received 400 wen, and almost half of it was taken up by your superiors. You could only bear it helplessly. After all, if you didn't do the job, there were plenty of people who would do it. Many people paid money to get a job as a yamen runner.
Therefore, the government has no shortage of yamen runners. Even if their wages are withheld, there are still a lot of people trying their best to get in.
After Huang Sancheng became a yamen runner, he was always a bad guy because he also slipped in twenty taels of silver.
At this moment, Xu Qiu glanced at all the yamen runners and said, "If you are dissatisfied now, you can leave. I will not stop you."
All the yamen runners shook their heads immediately.
joking.
Xu Qiu gave them two taels of silver every month, which was more than what they earned on the street.
Beihe Street is a well-known slum. They work hard but only earn a few hundred coins a month, which is not even as much as the change given by Xu Qiu.
"No, we will listen to the adults from now on!"
The bailiffs all shook their heads.
His eyes towards Xu Qiu were even more scorching.
joke.
Now Xu Qiu is their God of Wealth.
Just giving two taels of silver every month is like giving you another parent!
The yamen runners imagined that life would be better in the future. If they had no money, who would risk exploiting others? If they offended the wrong gangs, they might not even know where their bodies were.
At this moment, Huang San also happily walked to the old man Qian who was selling buns.
He casually handed the copper coins on his body to Old Man Qian and said, "I am sorry for offending you in the previous incident. I hope you can forgive me."
At this time, old man Qian, who was selling buns, had never seen such a scene before.
The official who had done all kinds of evil before now apologized to him politely.
"No, no!"
Old Man Qian immediately waved his hand and handed him a few meat buns, saying somewhat flattered.
But Huang San didn't take it.
Because he knew that Xu Qiu didn't like people who exploited the lower class people.
There is no need for Huang San to continue to be a bad guy. Not everyone wants a bad reputation.
Xu Qiu was very satisfied with his results.
Carrot in one hand and stick in the other.
If these yamen runners did evil while he was on duty, Xu Qiu didn't mind teaching them how to behave.
At this time, Xu Qiu asked the old man Qian who was selling steamed buns: "Old man, besides making steamed buns, can you make other food?"
The old man who sells buns doesn't understand why.
But he still nodded, "Yes, sir, I can make a few noodles and rice noodles besides steamed buns."
"Then you can keep all this money. I plan to hire you as a cook to prepare three meals a day for us. This is the deposit."
Only then did Xu Qiu state his purpose.
The Daqian Wei Suo Yamen does not provide lunch and dinner like the Public Security Bureau in the previous life.
All officials in the garrison need to prepare their own food.
Therefore, petty officials were not only poor, but also had to provide their own dry food, so it was normal for them to eat and free meals.
Unlike in the previous life, even as an auxiliary police officer, he could eat meals in the canteen of the police station, so the pressure of life was not too great.
Besides, Xu Qiu was too lazy to eat out, so he could just hire a cook.
It’s not much money anyway.
When the old man Qian, who was selling buns, heard this, he was immediately delighted, "Thank you very much, sir! Thank you very much, sir!"
The other yamen runners also showed joy on their faces when they heard this.
No official has ever thought of paying for their meals.
The money that the yamen runners earned was not enough for food, not to mention that they had a family to support, so the money was even less than enough.
Now that Xu Qiu takes care of all the meals, they can save a lot of money at once. In the future, it will be easier for the family to eat meat every month.
"Don't be polite, let's start today."
Xu Qiu said calmly.
At this moment, the people around were all in disbelief when they saw this scene.
It is impossible to understand what Xu Qiu did. There are officials who do not want their salaries and just give their salaries to the people below.
At the same time, he had to restrain his subordinates and not allow them to exploit the people at will.
It was the first time that all the people in Beihe Street encountered such an official.
They were incredulous and shocked, and some even couldn't help but smile and praised him directly, "Mr. Guan, you are really the glory of our Daqian! Our Daqian has never had an official like you."
"Yes, it's not too much for the Lord!"
"It is a blessing for the people of Beihe Street that you work here!"
"Yes, of all the officials in Daqian, I only obey you!"
The people were talking about it in a flurry, and the sound of praise was endless.
Everyone looked at Xu Qiu, their eyes full of hope.
Some people even clapped wildly, and the sounds of celebration continued.
Who doesn't want the officials who manage them to be honest? After all, the people at the bottom have been exploited by the officials above for too long and have long become numb.
Xu Qiu is like a breeze, or a mudslide, in the officialdom.
Let them regain hope in the numb officialdom.
At this moment, some people were still whispering behind the scenes.
"This official seems to be the son-in-law of the Qin family."
"Yes, I heard yesterday that the emperor personally appointed a procurator to help the emperor find evidence of the fourth prince's rebellion, and he was rewarded for it."
"Now that you mention it, I really remember that the son-in-law of the Qin family has been very popular recently. He is not only on good terms with the princess, but also familiar with the prince."
"It's a pity that such a good official is married into the family. The Qin family is too blind."
When the people who were talking about this said this, they couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Qiu.
Look at the bustling streets.
It was not a good idea to have so many people gathered here, so Xu Qiu said to the other yamen runners, "Let's go, let's explain the other work processes as well."
Huang San and Zhou Liang nodded.
He said to the people around him: "Disperse, disperse!"
Then he took Xu Qiu and continued to introduce daily work.
The yamen runners became more well-behaved than before. They no longer knocked over the belongings of small vendors or extorted their money, and they turned a blind eye to the lower-class people.
After all, Xu Qiu can support the people, so they dare not act presumptuously.
At the same time, on a corner of the street.
Not far behind Xu Qiu.
A beautifully embroidered sedan stopped by the roadside. The curtains beside the sedan's window were drawn open, revealing a very pretty woman who slowly came into view. With a hint of curiosity on her delicate face, she looked from afar at Xu Qiu, who was surrounded by the people.
The scarlet lips opened and closed like a blooming rose. "What an interesting guy."
The maid next to her said, "Master, do you need me to call him over?"
"unnecessary."
The head of Xinyue Pavilion, Youqin Xuanya, gently shook her head.
