Chapter 404: Working at the Office

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio   Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Hu Li couldn’t help but look at Shu Yu. He coughed lightly and said, “Our county government is short of manpower now. Our Excellency has a deep impression of you. He knows that you’re bold, careful, and responsible, so he plans to recruit you to work in the county government. What do you think?” Working in the county government?

Other than the county magistrate and the advisor, there were also three shifts and six households in the county government. He could not get into the six households ‘scribes. He had not studied and did not know many words. He was not suitable.

As for Class Three…

Yuan Shanchuan asked hesitantly, “Will I be a constable in the county government?”

“Of course not.” Hu Li smiled and waved his hand.

In the Dasu dynasty, constables were considered lowly occupations, and their descendants were not allowed to take the imperial examinations. Therefore, some of the constables in the county government were scoundrels who couldn’t even eat.

Of course, under Xiang Weinan’s management, there was no such phenomenon.

However, Yuan Shanchuan was a good citizen. In the future, if he had the ability, his son could still study for the imperial examination. Why would he take the hard way and engage in a lowly industry?

Lord Xiang wasn’t such a wicked person. If that was the case, then this wasn’t a reward, but a punishment.

Therefore, Hu Li smiled and said, “Lord’s meaning is to let you become a Dou Level.’

Dou Level is in charge of the official warehouse, business field, and bureau courtyard service officials.

There were two types of bailiffs. Other than constables, people like Dou Level and Kuding were good citizens.

Yuan Shanchuan was stunned. Dou Level?

The other villagers were also in an uproar. Although they did not know how much the salary of a Dou Level was, they were working in the office, and this was a lucrative job.

As long as the grain arrived at the warehouse, the Dou level of the warehouse could withdraw one bucket per person. In any case, he did not have to worry about food.

Moreover, this job was stable and not hard work. He could also have connections like the county government officials.

If he did well in the future, he might be promoted by the Lord. His son was still an infant, but he could also study and take the exam. It was simply a wonderful job that they could not even dream of.

Everyone couldn’t help but stare at Yuan Shanchuan with burning eyes as if they were staring at a piece of fat meat. They wished they could go up and befriend him at this moment.

Village Chief Chen was even happier. Yuan Shanchuan was from their Daxu Village. It was very convenient for the village to have people they knew working in the office.

Just like this time, because there were no acquaintances in the office, they couldn’t find any way to find out about Yuan Shanchuan. They stood at the entrance of the county government, unable to even enter the door.

Alright, alright.

Village Chief Chen was extremely excited. Seeing Yuan Shanchuan still in a daze, he quickly gave him a gentle push.

Yuan Shanchuan suddenly came back to his senses and raised his head to look at Hu Li.

The latter asked him, “What do you think?”

Of course, Yuan Shanchuan was very happy. He was extremely excited.

However, when he thought about how he still owed Yu ten taels of silver, he was somewhat hesitant.

Yuan Shanchuan couldn’t help but look at Shu Yu. Hu Li saw this and whispered into his ear, “Actually, this idea was suggested by your niece. His Lordship had originally intended to give you silver, but Miss Lu said that having a stable job was more important to your family.”

Yuan Shanchuan was stunned. Did Yu say that?

He paused and took a deep breath. Yes, with this job, he would be able to earn money very soon. At that time, he would return it to Yu as soon as possible.

Their family would be able to be stable in the future.

Yuan Shanchuan smiled and nodded heavily. “Okay, I’m willing..”
