I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Chapter 126: Didn’t we agree to live and work in peace and contentment?

Hundreds of people swallowed their saliva and looked at Jiang Yuan at the same time. Some people even couldn't help but take a step forward and greedily sniffed the fragrance in the air.

"Brother, where are you from? Why are there so many of you?" A young man spoke to Jiang Yuan with his throat moving.

Jiang Yuan took a look at the young man. Not only was he skinny, but his face was also sallow, which was obviously caused by malnutrition.

"We, we are from Taiping County." Jiang Yuan said, and then he stopped talking. He walked through several streets in a swaggering manner and found a cool place to rest.

In the afternoon, the people sent by Sun Xin arrived and led everyone to each street to select houses.

These were the houses left behind by the elderly, the weak, women and children after they left. They were dilapidated. Jiang Yuan was lucky enough as he and Wang Gang, Bai Jingyun, Ergou, and Wang Kun were assigned a house with a small courtyard.

After settling everyone, the officers left.

Jiang Yuan and his companions, along with more than 200 people, walked out of the house again. The food from Taiping Restaurant had already been delivered.

"This time, everyone will split up and form groups of ten to cover the streets of the entire Taizong County!" Jiang Yuan said, picked up the roujiamo, and found a small alley to go into.

In the alley, as the weather was already hot, the people who had worked all day were sitting on the doorsteps of their homes drinking porridge, with the evening breeze blowing on their faces. Some of those with more financial resources could even have some pickles, and their lives were pretty decent.

But suddenly, a bunch of street urchins appeared in front of everyone and said to a young man holding an empty bowl, "Hey, young man, what are you eating?"

The young man looked at everyone in confusion, trying hard to recall who these people were, but he still couldn't remember.

"Just, porridge." The young man said in a low voice.

"Oh." Jiang Yuan hummed, then took a big bite of the roujiamo.

The young man couldn't help but take a look. It was a white flour bun, with the thick slice of meat in the middle shaking in the bun, and the juice soaking in the bun. He would swallow his tongue after taking a bite!

"you……"

"Oh, we're from Taiping County," Jiang Yuan said quickly, pointing at the roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo) and saying, "You're talking about this? Oh, this is what our county magistrate insists on giving us every day. We're so sick of it."

youth:"……"

Who the hell asked you!

Although Jiang Yuan's answer was irrelevant, the young man still stared at the roujiamo and swallowed his saliva.

The people around were all like this, and the porridge in their hands suddenly lost its flavor.

"It smells so good! The meat melts in your mouth, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth after you take a bite." Jiang Yuan munched on the roujiamo as he walked.

"It seems that the people in our Taiping County live a good life." Ergou said, shaking his head.

Wang Kun behind him was not willing to be left behind and immediately said, "I heard that our county magistrate needs more people. If anyone comes, not only will he get two taels of silver per month, but he can also eat meat every day."

Jiang Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said, "Not only that, we will also be allocated houses and farmland, all free of charge. Moreover, our children can go to private schools for free, and the government will pay our taxes for us."

"I have inside information. It is said that the county magistrate will soon stop accepting people from other counties. The houses and farmland have almost been distributed. It's just first come, first served."

As soon as the conversation between the few people came out, dozens of people in the alley looked at each other in surprise.

The young man who had just been spoken to by Jiang Yuan flushed, suddenly stood up and smashed the empty bowl in his hand.

"I'm going to give it a try! I'm alone anyway, so I won't suffer any loss if I try. If they really need me, I won't have to eat porridge all year round!"

After saying that, the young man ran straight to the room. Not long after, he walked out of the room with a bag on his back, closed the door and was about to leave.

"Erdan, you really believe it! How could it be our turn if such a good thing happened?" An old man shook his head while smoking a pipe.

The young man named Erdan gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, my parents died young. I'm already 24 today, 25 in real time, 26 in visual age, 27 in hindsight, and will soon be 28. I'm almost 30, and I still don't have a wife."

"With the small piece of land at home, I won't achieve anything in my lifetime. I might as well go out and try my luck. What if something happens?"

"Even if it doesn't work, I can just come back. It's no big deal!"

After saying that, Erdan strode away.

This made the dozens of people watching the excitement around eager to make something happen.

"Erdan is right. Even if it doesn't work out, we can just come back. If it does work out, we won't have to live such a hard life." Several young men who were as carefree as Erdan spoke up.

Such scenes did not just happen in one alley. During dinner time, such scenes were happening simultaneously in dozens of alleys in Taizong County.

Those who had nothing to worry about packed up and left without hesitation, while those who could still make a decent living mostly remained skeptical.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and the legend of Jiang Yuan and his group was spread almost everywhere in the alleys of Taizong County.

Sun Xin, who was still in the dark, was still happily drinking tea because of the sudden appearance of three hundred young men.

Until an officer came over with a wronged look on his face.

"Sir, please make the decision for me!"

Sun Xin frowned and said calmly, "What's wrong? You're being bullied even though you're wearing your official uniform?"

"It's the group of people who came from Taiping County a few days ago!" the officer said aggrievedly.

Sun Xin's eyes fixed, and he quickly stood up: "What's going on? Are they disobeying discipline?"

The officer nodded and described the whole thing in detail.

Sun Xin was a little dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?

"Lead the way, I'll go over and take a look!"

After an incense stick of time, Sun Xin was dumbfounded when he saw the crowds of people sitting under the eaves to escape the heat.

"What are you all doing here? Didn't I send someone to tell you that you were going to work today?"

Ergou said leisurely, waving a palm-leaf fan, "Sir, it's too hot. I'm trying to escape the heat."

Sun Xin was silent for a long while, almost hurting himself: "But you have to work too, how can you not work?"

"Why do we have to work?" Wang Kun asked with a squint.

Sun Xin was completely stunned. After a long while, he stammered, "How can you settle down in this county and not work?"

"Why do we have to work?" Wang Kun shrugged.

"Didn't you guys agree to live and work in peace and contentment?" Sun Xin said almost angrily.

Wang Kun blinked and said, "Sir, haven't we settled down?"

"Then you have to enjoy your work!" Sun Xin stared at him, almost wanting to eat him.

Wang Kun propped himself up and moved his butt a few times, then said confidently, "My lord, this is not right. My lord, think about it. Leye, since it has the word 'le' in it, does that mean I have to be happy?"

"That's right." Sun Xin answered patiently.

Wang Kun immediately spread his hands and said, "The key is that once I start working, I'm not happy!"
