Chapter 70

Li Zhen did find Lu Daxiong and asked for a quota, and several rich and respectable lords in the town also approached Lu Daxiong.

After Lu Daxiong considered it, he also took out two quotas, which was considered to be a little face for them. After all, everyone in the family has talented masters, so it is better not to offend others if they can not offend others.

As a result, besides Lu Xingwang and Sanbao, Lu Daxiong still had a spot in his hand, and was thinking about giving it to his cousin, but he didn't want the mayor to invite him to drink again.

There is no rank for the mayor of the town, and it is usually recommended by the gentry, and then a letter of appointment from the county is enough.

In terms of power, at most it is to help organize the people when collecting taxes and food, and then it can play a role when it is necessary to serve Yao or conscription.

Of course, these functions are quite important to ordinary people.

At the beginning, Lu Daxiong was only 12 years old and was able to go to the border to serve as a soldier. Naturally, there was also the handwriting of the previous mayor.

If he hadn't benefited from others, how could he be so blind that he let a 12-year-old kid join the army?
The current mayor was newly appointed the year before last.

As for the previous mayor, I heard that he was dismissed by the county magistrate because of a scandal in his family, and was later reported to the county government. He has been ill since he was boarded.

He lost his job, was fined a lot of money, and was beaten. It can be said that the former mayor lost all face.

The newly appointed mayor is also a scholar and has a reputation as a scholar.

Perhaps it was because of this that the county magistrate directly appointed him as the mayor.

Although he is newly appointed, the mayor is not young, already in his early forties.

"Lord Lu, I'm really sorry, I don't think it's strange to invite you here rashly today."

"The mayor is polite, you may as well speak up if you have anything to say."

"That's right, the inspection department in our town is about to be set up. I have a son who is useless, and he can't be a martial artist. I just hope that Mr. Lu can give you some advice, so that he can teach him the principles of life and affairs. .”

Lu Daxiong raised his eyebrows, he wanted a job as an errand!
Lu Daxiong is actually a little curious. Generally speaking, scholars are not willing to let their children and grandchildren follow this kind of martial arts path.

The mayor was a bit unexpected.

Anyway, he is the mayor of a town, and some things in the future still need the cooperation of the mayor, so Lu Daxiong naturally wants to give him this face.

At this time, Lu Daxiong couldn't help but be thankful that he had listened to his wife's words, otherwise, once the matter of this quota was exposed, it would be difficult for him to be a man in Lujia Village.

"I don't know how old young master Ling is now?"

As soon as the mayor heard it, he knew there was a door.

So with a wave of his hand, someone called his son in.

After some introductions, it was considered acquaintance.

Lu Daxiong saw that the young man was quite upright and in good shape, so he nodded and said: "Well, after two days, all members of the inspection department will gather, and then everyone will have to do a preliminary After the inspection, the young master will prepare well after returning, and if there are no accidents, this matter will be considered as a success."

"Okay, thank you, Master Lu!"

Ordinarily, the mayor's power is not less than that of the inspector. After all, he is the mayor who upholds justice.

It's just because he has no rank and no official uniform, so naturally, he humbles himself a little in front of Lu Daxiong.

This time, Lu Daxiong has obtained two official quotas for his clansmen, one is Lu Xingwang, and the other is Lu Sanbao.

In addition, after discussing with the village chief, he gave the job of guarding the gate to the sixth uncle at the head of the village. This sixth uncle is considered Lu Daxiong's clan uncle. I lost my leg, so I walked with a limp, but it didn't delay my work.

The reason why the village chief chose him was because the burden on his family was not light, and he had to support five or six children!
Secondly, it's also because this job is relatively light and easy. The sixth uncle's legs can't do the work that is too strenuous. Usually, when he goes to the field, he is mostly his wife and two sons.

Now after a month, I can have a stable income of [-] Wen, and other family members work hard on the land, at least I can guarantee that I won't go hungry.

In this way, there are four people in Lujia Village who joined the inspection department.

Because of his elder sister-in-law, Liu Erzhuang from Shangliu Village also joined the inspection department, which made others envious.

According to the rules of the village, after Lu Hehua finished confinement, she also invited the full moon wine, and then she will take the child to stay at her mother's house for a few days.

As soon as Lu Hehua came back, she even said that her eldest brother was doing well, and that her life in her in-law's house was very smooth.

"Mom, you don't even know that after Er Zhuang's errand was settled, someone came to propose a kiss to Er Zhuang the next day. It's not like before, when they heard that it was Er Zhuang, the girls didn't even want to hear it! "

For country people, if they are looking for a man to marry, they naturally want to find a strong and powerful man.

And Liu Erzhuang's strength is not enough, and he is born thin. The first impression he gives is that he is powerless. If he gets married in the future, he may not know how to live.

So all along, the big strong lady has been worrying about Er Zhuang's marriage.

This is all right, Er Zhuang joined the inspection department, no need to farm, and has a stable income after a month, and can even save a lot of money on clothes. The girls in the eight neighboring villages heard it, and naturally someone moved Thoughts.

Of course, when people knew that Er Zhuang's sister-in-law was the sister of the town inspector, they were even more moved.

Although Lu Hehua was confinement, when she arrived at her mother's house, the Qi family still made her a tonic soup every day.

Sometimes it is to help with breastfeeding, and sometimes it is to nourish the woman's energy and blood. In short, the soup is continuous every day, and it is not the same every day.

Lu Hehua drank another bowl of soup and said, "Sister-in-law, you make people stew like this every day, I don't want to go back."

Chen Xingyan also smiled and said, "If you don't want to go back, you can live here. Anyway, Da Zhuang is busy with the work in the town now, and he can't take care of you at ordinary times, so why not stay longer."

Mrs. Wang was naturally the happiest to see the harmony between their aunts and sisters-in-law.

"You guys rest first. I'll go and see how the hawthorn cake and hawthorn sticks are doing. I'll be here tomorrow to receive the goods."

"Mother, you rest, let me go and have a look. You are here to help take care of the child."

After Chen Xingyan finished speaking, he went directly to the west courtyard.

The hawthorn cake business is relatively stable now.

There are other people in the town who have started to make this stuff, but the taste is not as good as theirs.

When it was first made, Chen Xingyan expected that someone would follow suit.

It's just that I didn't expect that the speed at which the ancients imitated was something that people dare not ignore.

too fast!
