Chapter 1147 is progressing smoothly
After the Jingnan defense war, Zhu Pingan's prestige was at its peak in Jingnan, and he won the love of the people in the county. Many people who survived the disaster even secretly paid tribute to Zhu Pingan at home. Enshrined in the living temple.
Thanks to Zhu Ping'an's good reputation, Liu Mu's preparations went very smoothly.
Jingnan is our home, and everyone has the responsibility to protect Jingnan, but not Taiping County. Rushing to aid Taiping and rescuing neighboring counties is not the vital interest of the people of Jingnan County, but the county government recruits young people notices After they were released, people in Jingnan County enthusiastically signed up to participate. It was originally planned to recruit 500 people, but the number of people who signed up exceeded the planned quota soon, and more and more people came to participate in the recruitment excitedly after hearing the news. .
“The county magistrate defended Jingnan and saved the lives of tens of thousands of people in Jingnan. The reason why you, me, and our whole family are still alive is all because of the county magistrate. , Now the county magistrate is recruiting young men to rescue Taiping County. If you, Ergouzi, dare not to apply, I will not have a son like you!”
An old man with a white beard on crutches couldn't help but tap his crutch after hearing the notice read, and shouted to his son Ergouzi.
"Dad, of course I'm going. I signed up to defend the city last time. The county magistrate said that I have seniors and juniors, so I won't be allowed to participate. There are no restrictions on the notice this time. I will participate no matter what." Ergouzi replied excitedly, paused briefly, and then said firmly, "It's just, Dad, if your son doesn’t come back this time, you and my mother should take better care of your health.”
“Don’t worry! Your dad and I are in good health, so you don’t have to worry about it, just go and sign up!”
The white-haired old man was leaning on a cane and waved his hand impatiently, as if to chase people away.
“Dad, my son is gone.”
Ergouzi kowtowed to the white-haired old man on the spot, stood up and squeezed in towards the direction of the crowd.
There are many more scenes like this. Although Taiping County had little to do with them, just because this was a notice issued by Zhu Pingan, they actively supported it from the bottom of their hearts and signed up enthusiastically.
Of course, after all, it is a rescue of a neighboring county that has nothing to do with his own vital interests. The number of people who signed up is much less than the number of people who signed up to defend the city when the Japanese pirates besieged Jingnan. However, Liu Mu made a rough count and found that there were seven It was over a hundred, far exceeding the number of people planned to be recruited, so Liu Mu quickly terminated the recruitment.
For this reason, Liu Mu was scolded by many people who came late.
Liu Dadao's recruitment was also very smooth. After taking out the county government documents, Liu Dadao didn't need to say anything. People who owned carriages actively donated their own carriages. Not only that, people were donating their own carriages. When they arrived, they also put a lot of food, meat, eggs, fruits and other food on the carriages, so that no carriage was empty.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Liu Mu and Liu Dadao's preparations went very smoothly. However, Liu Dagang's work was not good. His work of inspecting the six houses of the county government and recruiting the subordinate staff of the six houses met with obstacles at every turn.
The subordinate officials who came back to work shamelessly and nonchalantly in the morning turned pale with fright when they heard Liu Dagang's purpose. When they heard the meaning of the recruitment, it was like hearing the call of death.
"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that there is a life-threatening emergency at home. I have to go back and deal with it. I am here to ask for leave today. Oh, look at my brain. It's really close. Forgot, sorry, sorry, Xiao Ke Excuse me, excuse me." When a subordinate official heard what Liu Dagang conveyed about the recruitment, his face turned pale immediately and he was stunned for three seconds. Then, like his butt was on fire, he gave a bunch of excuses that were full of loopholes, and with lightning speed, The tendency to hide one's ears is gone.
After I received the letter and Jingnan was guarded, I boldly returned to the county government office. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ping'an, a stupid young man, even risked his life and rushed to help Taiping! Just kidding, what's the difference between this and dying? After Zhu Ping'an, this stupid young man, guarded Jingnan, he was so bloated that he didn't even know his last name. You were able to guard Jingnan County because of the city wall. The city wall blocked it. Here you go, smashing rocks and splashing gold juice from a high position. Just like that, a whole wall of people died before you were lucky enough to defend Jingnan County and go to fight the Japanese pirates. Are you crazy! The Japanese pirates are demons who kill without blinking an eye and eat people without adding salt. Killing people is like chopping melons and vegetables. Without a city wall to serve as a barrier, your stones and gold juice are useless. What can you use to fight against the Japanese pirates? The young and strong people who had never been touched by swords and swords several times, oh, even the regular soldiers of the guard station were killed by the Japanese pirates. How many heads of those mud-legged people were enough to be chopped off by the Japanese pirates! If you want to commit suicide, I won't stop you, but don't pull me away, my dear, I haven't lived enough yet, so I won't commit suicide! Want to recruit me? ! Bah! I won’t accompany you to death!
"Ahem, me too, I also have a life-threatening emergency at home, ah, what's the emergency? I, my mother-in-law is about to give birth, hey, what a coincidence, today is the due date. , Po Wen has already said that I must be in labor today. You have to worship your ancestors outside the house, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and I'm sorry too." After Liu Dagang looked at him, a subordinate next to him gave up a lame excuse and followed the first A subordinate official slipped away at the same quick speed.
When Liu Dagang rushed to the next public house, there were originally two subordinates who came to work in this public house. However, when Liu rushed to this public house, his face turned dark and he had already gotten the news and ran away.
It is estimated that the first subordinate said hello to these subordinates before running away. After these subordinate officials heard the news that Zhu Ping'an wanted to recruit them to help Taiping, they ran away just like they heard the news that the Japanese pirates were attacking the city!
Well, the sixth room of the county government office is empty again!
The few subordinates from the sixth floor who came back shamelessly and boldly disappeared again.
Liu Dagang inspected the last public house, and as expected, it was empty again. He saw someone coming in the morning. Liu Dagang clenched his fists angrily, wishing to catch the person who had sneaked away. Give it a beating.
"I'm sorry, sir, I messed up my errand," Liu Dagang replied truthfully to Zhu Ping'an with a guilty look on his face, "Originally, six subordinate officials came here in the morning, but after hearing the news that they were recruited to help Taiping, they all made excuses and ran away. , running faster than a rabbit, no one is willing to respond to the call."
"Haha, Brother Dagang, it's okay, I expected this. "I didn't include them in the plan originally." After hearing Liu Dagang's report, Zhu Pingan was not surprised at all. He smiled and reassured Liu Dagang, "To be honest, after hearing the news about their escape, I was not surprised at all." I feel relieved, but I still can’t bear to give the credit to people like them." (End of Chapter)
