A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 211 Huang Haolin's Test

"Let's go back and report this to my sister and see if there is a better arrangement."

"......Yes."

The three of them felt uneasy when they heard this.

I wonder if something unexpected will happen tomorrow after Huang Haolin says this when he goes back.

After all...she is the county lord of Qiling County.

The two Huang brothers left, leaving behind three people looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Boss, what should I do?"

One of them asked, looking a little anxious.

They had been working in the government office for many years. Although the salary was not much, it was easy and they had some power. They also received some offerings from the townspeople. It was the best job in Linhai Town.

Now Huang Mulin asked them to manage the sudden influx of population and be responsible for checking the files, which means they will be held responsible if anything happens in the future.

So they were unwilling.

The leader said nothing; he was thinking of a strategy.

The group of people sat down again, with their heads down and no words spoken, until the officer who had gone out came back.

The official's name was Yu Kai. He had some background and was a distant relative of Jia Yuanwai's wife's family. Jia Yuanwai used his connections to get him into the yamen, so other people were quite respectful to him.

Yu Kai is not the kind of person who would make trouble, so everyone gets along well with him.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Kai, who had just returned to the yamen, noticed that their expressions were not right and was a little surprised, so he asked.

"The county lord's brother just came."

The leader was called Gu Jun, a native of Linhai Town. His father was also an official in this yamen, so he was brought into the yamen.

"They said they wanted us to go to the dental clinic to take turns registering and checking the foreign population."

Yu Kai was stunned when he heard this, and something in his mind was running fast.

He had heard a lot about Huang Mulin from Mrs. Jia, and knew that she was bold, progressive in her thinking, and always made surprising moves that brought great benefits.

Mr. Jia praised Huang Mulin highly, and even said that she was a very practical person who knew how to understand human nature and human hearts.

"Head..." Yu Kai hesitated for a while and said, "Could it be a good thing?"

Gu Jun looked at him: "Good news?"

The other two also looked over.

"I have heard a lot about the county lord from my relatives. I guess that the county lord's brother came to say hello today just to see our attitude. In fact, the county lord already has a way to deal with it..."

"You mean?" Gu Jun was a little uneasy: "Replace us?"

Yu Kai knew he had misunderstood, and quickly said, "No! It's to give us a way out!"

Otherwise he wouldn't say anything good!

"How to say?"

Yu Kai and the other two officers were instantly alert.

"Boss, think about it, we have been in Linhai Town for so many years, how could the county lord not know what the customs are?"

"Since she became the county lady, she has never caused trouble for us, nor has she cared about us. Today, she just asked her two brothers to come and ask us in person. I guess she just wanted to test our attitude and she has no intention of getting rid of us."

"However, there are too many foreign populations recently, which does pose a hidden danger. The county lord must want us to take over the job."

"This may be my personal opinion. Instead of living a muddle-headed life with such a small salary, it is better to work for the county lord and earn some money to improve your life."

"Because..." Yu Kai didn't dare to say it too sure, "I learned from my relatives that the county lady is a very graceful person. If you do things for her and do a good job, you should get a lot of rewards..."

At this point, everyone else understood.

His words hinted that he might get paid if he worked.

This conclusion is really touching.

Gu Jun thought about the situation at that time, and probably thought that their performance made the county lady’s two brothers dissatisfied, so they didn’t say the rest of the words?

oops.

The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little regretful.

"The two young masters said they would come tomorrow?"

Yu Kai still remembers this.

"Yes, yes, yes." Gu Jun clapped his hands and became happy again. "The two young masters said they would go back and report to the county lord and come back at the end of the morning hour tomorrow."

It seems there is still room for maneuver.

Yu Kai added: "What I said just now is just my guess, don't take it seriously. Boss, let's be more polite tomorrow and try it out. What do you think?"

"Okay, let's do it like this."

The four officers waited expectantly for the next day.

Huang Haolin and Huang Xilin went to look for Huang Bo and the others, and discovered that the three of them had abandoned them and ran to the county town. They had no choice but to rent an ox cart to return to Xiushan Village.

After arriving home, they found Huang Mulin chatting with He Huiniang and Yang Lijun in the main hall and told them about the reactions of the people from the pawnshop and the government office.

"As expected."

Huang Mulin was not surprised by the officer's behavior.

It is normal for people who have been idling around to behave this way when suddenly asked to take responsibility without any promise of benefits.

And because she had never disciplined them and had never imposed any severe or serious punishment in this regard, they had reason to hesitate.

Huang Mulin thought that it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to change the work style of the officials.

Yang Hui proposed that direction because he wanted Huang Mulin to pay attention to this matter, although he did not say it explicitly.

Huang Mulin is smart enough to learn from his experience and do better than he thought.

"Brother, you didn't tell anyone about giving them bonuses based on their performance at the end of the year. You're really patient~"

Huang Mulin appreciated this very much.

"I see that they are all unhappy and feel unhappy, so I naturally won't let them be too happy." Huang Haolin remembered that their attitude was still not very happy. "They are clearly eating our food, but they still want us to beg them to work for them. This kind of atmosphere cannot be allowed to continue."

"You're right."

Huang Xilin chimed in from the side.

"Well, we can also rectify the atmosphere of the Linhai Town government this time."

The three siblings gathered together again to discuss something. Yang Lijun and He Huiniang looked at each other and continued chatting about their own topic.

There are five sons in the family who have grown up.

The next day, Huang Haolin and Huang Xilin went to the town government office again.

Five officers were already waiting outside the yamen, all of them looking energetic and smiling.

The two brothers looked at each other suspiciously, wondering why these people's attitudes changed so drastically in less than a day.

"Master Haolin, Master Xilin, please come in."

Gu Jun warmly invited the two men into the yamen, poured them a cup of tea, and then the five of them stood upright without saying a word.

He stared at them intently, like a child about to listen to instruction.

"Ahem." Huang Haolin felt a little weird and cleared his throat unconsciously, "What I said yesterday..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jun immediately took over: "No problem, no problem."

Huang Haolin paused and stared at him.

Gu Jun found himself too excited and interrupted the conversation. He cursed himself for not keeping his composure and felt a little uneasy. "We thought deeply about it all night yesterday. The county lord wants to expand Linhai Town. We can't fall behind. Please give us this opportunity to contribute to it."
