Zhang Xutuo looked at Luo Feng, who was very calm at the yamen, and said to the county magistrate Zhang Yichen, "This son was not panicked when he met a robber, he was brave and scheming. He was not proud of his rewards today, but he was so young. It was really rare." He smiled and said, "If this son was not young, he would have thought of taking him back to the county."

As the county magistrate, he was in charge of county soldiers and was responsible for suppressing bandits and catching bandits and maintaining public order. He was the second-in-command in a county. He was considered a high-ranking and powerful young man who could make him look at him differently. It was indeed extraordinary.

Zhang Yichen nodded, thinking.

In the past two years, the imperial court has built a lot of construction, and the people have heavy classes and local public security problems have become more and more serious. The eighteen ghosts on the blue face are not an exception.

Although Zhangqiu County is not big, it has more than 20 townships and a population of nearly 10,000 households. However, the only rank officials in the county are him, the county magistrate and the chief clerk. The records of the outside world are more than ten officials, and although there are more than 30 yamen runners, they have to be divided into three classes. The ones who really maintain public order are actually ten constables in the fast class.

Each of these ten constables had a group of gangs and strong men under his command, but just like the previous Constable Zhao, they were all sluts and were useless.

"This boy is indeed a talented person. He is young, energetic and courageous. I heard that he had read books and could read and learn words. It is very rare. The county intends to let him enter the yamen as a constable, and also to fight against the lazy atmosphere of the yamen runners today."

"I think it's feasible." Zhang Xutuo said to caress his thumb.

Zhang Yichen actually liked Qin Qiong even more. If Qin Qiong was willing to stay in the county, he would even want to ask Qin Qiong to be the chief inspector. However, Qin Qiong was a soldier in the Guard Mansion. Although he had no official rank, he heard that he was a personal soldier under the tent that the general came to Hu'er valued, and he was also the legitimate son of the Qin family in Licheng. He would not have the position of constable, unless he was asked to be a county lieutenant, but the county lieutenant was a ninth rank, and he, the county magistrate, had no power to serve as a private position.

"Luo Wu!"

Zhang Yichen asked, "I saw that you are brave and resourceful, able to read and write, and this time I was successful in capturing the thief, so I deliberately promoted you. Zhao San from the third fast class of the county government has been resigned. There is a vacant position, so I want you to fill the vacancy. Are you willing to accept it?"

Luo Feng in the hall was silent for a moment.

Zhao San was originally one of the ten formal constables in the fast class. He was considered a formal servant in the county. Although this kind of servant was not an official or an official, he was also a very popular position in the county town. He was considered a public family. Compared with the people who took turns to work as poor people in the county, he was a formal civil servant. The benefits were visible.

There are advantages and disadvantages for being a constable, that is, the constable can only be classified as a servant, and in the eyes of those nobles and bureaucrats, they cannot be regarded as the prestigious officials.

But then again, what is Luo Wu’s identity now?

A poor countryman was almost jingling at the jingle of his family. Moreover, because of labor, all five of his family members had been recruited to serve. There were only a few elderly, weak, women and children in the family. He had just been serving in one service and digging two months of the river.

No one can be sure of one day to be recruited for military service. If you become a constable, it is actually equivalent to no longer worrying about being recruited for other constables. Even the constable has a very good income and it is not a problem to support your family.

Luo Feng didn't care about his status or not at this time, so it was the most important thing to gain a foothold first.

It's not bad to be a constable, after all, this is a formal worker, not the kind of temporary workers' joint defense team or something.

"Thank you for your kindness in the county magistrate, and the young one is willing to serve the court." Luo Feng said with great sensibility.

Seeing that the young man was so sensible about the current affairs, Zhang Yichen was very satisfied. He made an exception and promoted him. If the other party didn't know the situation, it would make him lose face.

"Very good, then this county will officially give you the chance to be the constable of this county. You are allowed to go home on ten days off and report back to the county government in ten days."

Luo Feng bowed and thanked him, "Thank you for the promotion of the county!"

The following was a voice of envious discussion. In the eyes of those noble officials, a constable was of course extremely mild, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this constable in soap clothes was a public official and ate imperial grain. Not only was it majestic, but it was also a strong rice bowl.

Luo Feng is so young that he has been personally appointed as a constable by the county magistrate, which is amazing enough.

However, he was able to capture the blue-faced thief, and everyone was envious and convinced. Although he was young, he was capable.

Everyone even had some expectations for this young constable, hoping that the county will be more secure in the future, and the arrogance of the bandits will be killed, and the county will be more peaceful.

When he came out of the county government, Luo Feng and his third uncle each carried a bag, which was filled with the money they had just received.

"Go home?" There was a heavy weight on his shoulder, but Xiaoqi was very happy, and his eyes were very alert, for fear that others would steal his reward. Yes.

Luo Feng looked at the money bag on his shoulder and asked Qin Qiong, "Did you go back to Licheng first?"

"I'm not in a hurry for a while. I plan to go home with you today and visit my aunt."

"Thank you, my mother would definitely be very happy if she saw her."

Luo Feng thought for a while, "I plan to buy some food first and then go home, how about it?"

"Okay." Qin Qiong had no objection.

Uncle Luo San and the others also said quickly, "I want to buy some food too."

"I'll go too." Several other fellow villagers also said.

Everyone kept giggling on the way. Although the bounty was finally discounted, they all received an eight-point bounty.

This is a lot of money.

"If all the money and money were exchanged for food, it would be enough for our family to eat for one or two years." Uncle San sighed.

The county is not big, and several shops are all concentrated in the market in the east of the city. It is a closed market. A cross street divides the market into four, and there are various shops along the street. Although the sparrows are small, they are all complete and all kinds of shops are complete.

Qin Qiong first went to a gold and silver shop. This shop created gold and silver jewelry for sale, and also did business such as gold and silver exchange and loan mortgage.

When they came in, the shopkeeper immediately came to greet him.

"Shopkeeper, please help me replace all the silk and cloth with copper coins."

When he was out, Qin Qiong felt it was troublesome to carry silk and cloth, so he asked to exchange it for copper coins.

In this dynasty, silk and cloth were actually circulated as money, while gold and silver were not money. The main reason for both money and silk was that the Central Plains dynasty had always been that there was little copper mining and the cost of minting was that the total amount of copper coins was too small and the money was not enough, so they could only use both money and silk.

"Okay, I'll check the quality first." The shopkeeper was very polite.

Qin Qiong's bounty of 110 guan actually only received ten guan copper coins and silk and cloth worth hundreds of guan, but the silk cloth was given at the official price, while the market price was actually only one fifth.

The silk and cloth were put out one by one, and the quality was very good. The people in the county did not fool them.
