In this windy and dusty day, I’m afraid communications have been cut off. This means that this guy didn’t even report to the court and directly dismissed me from my official position.
Let me put it this way, the person who had tricked Shen Lang and others and asked them to come here to explore the way was the captain. He only had a military position, not a civil position.
All in all, Shen Lang received two salaries, and he was on equal footing with him just by going out once, except that his cultivation was not as good as his.
I have to say, there are really a lot of opportunities during a war.
"I will definitely live up to your trust!" Shen Lang saluted.
…………
Shen Lang received the token and official seal and took office immediately.
The first thing he did was to replace the county magistrate's job of dispatching laborers.
Shen Lang did not act rashly, but instead transferred all the scholars in the city to his place.
Looking at the scholars in front of him, Shen Lang couldn't help but be speechless.
I saw that some scholars were now extremely tired. They were wearing coarse clothes, and their hands were shaking from the wear. Many of them were even injured.
The scholars looked at Shen Lang with trepidation, their eyes dull.
Scholars, even in the days of monks, had a very high status. Nowadays, many of them have some honors and are serious scholars, and some are even juren who are taking the imperial examination.
A juren can become an official. Although the ones he can become are minor officials of the eighth or ninth rank, such as instructor, county magistrate, and chief clerk, whose rank is not as good as Shen Lang's, he is also a senior official in the county. As long as he becomes the official, he will have power, money, and the best food and drink, and drink Maotai every day.
Unfortunately, they encountered a period of war.
In this situation, as long as they do not hold any public office, no matter how high their status is, they will have to be dispatched by the county magistrate.
Moreover, the north is different from the south. The King of Zhenbei is a martial artist, and there are various small-scale wars in the north all year round. The study environment is not as good as that in the south. Therefore, in terms of fame and attention, the status of scholars is not as good as that of scholars in the south.
If one wants to hold an official position, in addition to studying, one must also have a certain level of accomplishment. Unless one is ranked very high, one can obtain an official position without any accomplishment.
This also led to the world's officials becoming more greedy, and people from poor families having even less chance to rise to prominence, as official positions were all monopolized by the big families.
Relatively speaking, businessmen have money to let their children practice martial arts and study. If the children are successful in their training, it can improve the status of the family, so the status of businessmen is actually quite good. This is also the reason why those businessmen can enter the Zhenbei Palace to watch the show.
It's just that this is a relatively strange era.
"You are all scholars who have learned the six arts of a gentleman and have some skills, but I guess you are not good at physical work." Shen Lang sat in the temporary office vacated for him by the county government, with Lu Fengxian guarding behind him.
"Sir, I am a scholar, a scholar. Even if I have learned some methods to strengthen my body, that was twenty years ago..." An old man stood up and said, "It is really beyond my ability to ask me to move bricks."
He felt a little scared when he thought about the environment. If he hadn't arrived late, he would have been beaten to death by those constables.
Ever since the county magistrate executed the two constables, those constables have become even more disrespectful of human beings. As long as they make the slightest mistake, they will be beaten to death. This is the consequence of increasing penalties.
Ji Wendi gave the order, the county magistrate tried his best to pretend, and the constables, fearing death, also tried their best to deal with the people.
Even so, it is still the people who suffer.
"Well, what you did before may not be reasonable..." Shen Lang said: "So, I transferred you here."
"All candidates, take a step forward."
pat, pat...
Three people stepped forward.
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows.
Three juren, that's a bit too many...
Come to think of it, they might have fled from other places or came into the city because of the war.
"Let me tell you what I am going to do." Shen Lang said, "All the civilians need to be broken down into categories."
"Those who demolish houses should be dispatched in a unified manner. We need to find those who are good at demolishing houses. You are responsible for this."
Shen Lang pointed at a scholar and said, "During the deployment process, you need to divide them into three echelons: the strong and healthy, the normal working ones, and the weaker ones."
"The weaker ones are responsible for delivering tools, delivering water, and demolishing the houses that are easy to demolish, etc. The normal workers are responsible for demolishing the larger buildings, and the strong ones are responsible for demolishing the more difficult and complex buildings that use larger stones. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Sir, I can!" The scholar had tears in his eyes when he heard Shen Lang's words.
I never thought that I could have a proper job and no longer have to carry bricks!
He had protested and resisted at the time, but the only answer he got was the constable's whip.
In desperation, he could only run and move bricks like a laborer.
He can do this kind of work because that's what he studied, but how can he carry bricks?
"You, assist me." Shen Lang pointed to another candidate: "Write down everything I say later, and write down everything else about these people."
"Yes, sir." The scholar was already fifty years old. Seeing that Shen Lang could use his knowledge, he quickly ran to a table not far from Shen Lang, picked up paper and pen skillfully, and began to take notes.
His hands were a little unusable from moving bricks, but the moment he picked up the pen, his whole person changed, as if he had become more dignified.
"After that, you..."
Soon, Shen Lang gave orders bit by bit.
Simply put, we need to subdivide the laborers, let them sign up and say what they can do, and then modify the transportation routes.
Not only that, Shen Lang also had to get a chef out to cook for the laborers, bring them water, and replenish their energy.
All the working laborers had to be given rice. They determined their own rank, whether it was first, second or third class, and the amount of rice each rank could receive was different. This was a world of difference from the rough orders given by the county magistrate.
Do people hate work? No, they don't.
As long as they are paid, they will be very motivated.
Just like modern people, do they hate working overtime? They hate not being paid overtime!
With a monthly salary of 3,000, the boss is nothing; with a monthly salary of 30,000, he is my bread and butter; with a monthly salary of 100,000, the boss’s words are like an imperial decree, and I will never go west if the boss tells me to go east!
In times of war, what is the most valuable thing? Food!
Money is not as tempting to them as food.
So, Shen Lang gave food directly.
In this way, there is no need to force civilians to work, as they will find ways to find work themselves.
Shen Lang has also strictly prohibited the use of torture, unless it is appropriate to use torture on someone who has signed up for high-intensity work and then tried to cheat.
And just like that, the whole city was mobilized.
Seeing that all the scholars were being mobilized by Shen Lang, Lu Fengxian couldn't help feeling a little confused.
He remembered that his adoptive father once said that scholars are the best people, so why are so many scholars following Uncle Shen's orders?
Those people have studied for so many years, and Uncle Shen was just an ordinary monk in a monk camp before. How come his status is higher than theirs all of a sudden?
"call……"
After Shen Lang finished arranging everyone's work, he wiped his sweat.
Fortunately, these scholars are not fakes, and Shen Lang’s role is to put their abilities to use.
Just as Han Xin said, his mission is not to lead the troops, but to lead the generals.
Shen Lang also followed the example of his previous company's general manager and assigned all the tasks.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Lang couldn't help but ask when he saw that Lu Fengxian looked a little confused.
"Uncle Shen, they are all scholars and should have a high status. Why do they all listen to you..."
Seeing that the child could think, Shen Lang couldn't help but praise him in his heart.
As expected of the future Shura, not only is he powerful in combat, he also has a desire to learn.
Learning how to use talents is one of the required courses for becoming a leader...
Come to think of it, what kind of hatred did we have according to the original timeline that made him give all the difficult tasks to me...
Chapter 130 Are you teaching me how to do something?
"This is the characteristic of wartime." Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh.
These people now have studied hard for ten years and taken exams for three years after another, but I just broke out halfway and got a higher position than them.
In fact, Shen Lang’s purpose of coming here was not to become an official. He just felt sorry for the people and wanted to help them.
It was just right that at this time he made a contribution and was appreciated by an important figure, so he was given an official position.
There are many people who have made greater contributions than Shen Lang, who have worked harder than Shen Lang, who are more talented than Shen Lang, and who are loyal to the people, but they do not have Shen Lang's luck.
Just like Director Qi, a hero, a big shot, one word from him can make him fall into ruin forever.
Shen Lang, on the other hand, just got in touch with a big shot and then he rose to prominence.
"In wartime, outrageous things can happen. An eighth-rank officer may only need one year to become a third-rank officer." Shen Lang said, "Your ability determines your lower limit, and your luck determines your upper limit."
"They are studying in the city and don't have many opportunities, but we are leading troops outside and have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. As long as we seize this opportunity, we can take advantage of it."
Whether in ancient times or modern times, there are always people who take advantage of the situation and reap some benefits.
Lu Fengxian nodded, not quite understanding.
He is still too young, and it will take time for him to figure these things out.
…………
Shen Lang has Ji Wendi backing him up, so it's easy to execute his orders.
For a moment, the whole Cannes was in action.
I saw that there were some signposts near each city gate, which stated where to apply for certain jobs.
Due to the high level of cultural literacy, there is an official under each sign to give explanations.
In front of a table.
"My Lord..." A commoner cried with joy, "With so much food, the county magistrate is like my second parent..."
He was a first-level worker. After registering, he only had to undergo a strength test and then received a portion of food.
Looking at the rice in his hand, the two white flour buns and a bowl of porridge that had just been given to him, he felt like he was dreaming.
Many people had hidden themselves before, for fear of being drafted.
After various places started to recruit people by paying them, people started to show up.
"This is not the order of the county magistrate." The scholar said sarcastically, "It is the order of Lord Shen."
Even in the past, they had achievements and honors, and they did not kneel when meeting officials, so the county magistrate could not do anything to them openly.
Although speaking ill of the county magistrate here may cause him to make things difficult for them in the future, the scholars were already exhausted when they were moving bricks before!
The deadly feud has already been formed, who cares what happens to the county magistrate in the future?
The reason we are still alive now is all thanks to Shen Lang.
"Lord Shen?" The people were stunned for a moment: "Who is that?"
"Shen Lang, Shen Changshi."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, thank you, Mr. Shen..."
For a moment, people on the street were singing Shen Lang's name.
All the laborers had put down their work, and were then led by professionals to dismantle the houses and transport the materials.
After such unified dispatch, the efficiency has been increased by more than double?
However, half an hour was spent on publicity, queuing, and distributing things, and all the laborers seemed to be standing still, with no output.
The current process is like sharpening a knife. You have to wait until the knife is sharpened before you can chop wood...
…………
At the same time, the county government office.
The county magistrate looked unhappy.
He was doing his job well when suddenly a chief secretary was parachuted in.
Theoretically, the county magistrate is of the seventh rank, and Shen Lang is of the seventh rank. A higher rank means a lower chance of being defeated. But the difference with Shen Lang is that he was appointed by His Highness!
In this case, it is impossible to talk entirely based on rank.
The first thing this airborne chief secretary did was to slap the face of the county magistrate!
