The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Looking at Shang Mingzhi, whose attitude had become unusually enthusiastic again, Lu Tianming felt even more confused.

Shang Mingzhi seemed to see their doubts, and after glancing at Xu Wenshan with disdain, he said with a smile:

"Brother Tianming, my name is Shang Mingzhi. I work with that hypocrite Xu Wenshan as a clerk in Yining County.

I've always been straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush, so I'll just tell you everything!"

At this point, Lu Qingqing noticed that Xu Wenshan's face had begun to turn red and he was staring at Shang Mingzhi.

Shang Mingzhi ignored it and continued:

"You may be wondering why we are so enthusiastic.

All this was due to the call for talents issued by King Huai.

His Royal Highness King Huai has great ambitions. In order to make life better for the people, he actively recruits talented people.

If the recommendation is successful, the reward will be generous."

As he spoke, he bowed to Lu Tianming and the others and said:

"I'm telling you the truth. You all have come all the way from Yidu County to Yining County.

Not only were they able to arrive safely, but they were also able to keep so much wealth. They must be capable people!

His Royal Highness Prince Huai is eager to recruit talents and is in urgent need of all kinds of talents.

Let me be frank, I, Shang Mingzhi, want to recommend you to serve King Huai!

I can make a promise that if you are successfully hired, I will not take a penny of the reward money."

Hearing this, Xu Wenshan couldn't hold it back anymore and said angrily:

"Shang Mingzhi, do you think you are the only gentleman in this world and everyone else is a villain?

What you said makes people think that I am a greedy and mean person.

Let me tell you, I have donated dozens of taels of silver to the Salesian Church over the years!

Even if I really get the reward money, I will continue to donate it to help those children have food to eat.

What about you? How much did you donate?

Do you know how pitiful those girls abandoned by their families are in the Salesian Church?

You only talk big all day, appearing to be a gentleman, but you are actually a corrupt scholar!"

After Xu Wenshan finished the call, his chest heaved with anger and he was breathing rapidly. He looked extremely angry.

After hearing this, Shang Mingzhi rarely stopped arguing with Xu Wenshan.

The two have been fighting against each other for all these years, and he still understands Xu Wenshan.

What this person said at this time is true!

He used to be a little skeptical, wondering why this man, who was so materialistic and shrewd, and his family often lived in such poverty.

Now that I hear him say this, it makes sense.

Next to him, Lu Tianming heard this and roughly understood what happened between the two. He stepped forward and said:

"Brothers, how about we complete the household registration first?

As for the recommendation, we will discuss it in detail later.

To be honest, my brother Yao and I had been working in the county government for many years before we fled the famine.

Now that I have come to Yining County, I also want to serve His Majesty King Huai.

Not only the two of us, there are also some people in the team who are proficient in martial arts!"

Hearing what he said, Xu Wenshan and Shang Mingzhi no longer cared about fighting and ran over together.

The two men pulled Lu Tianming and Yao Xiancheng respectively to the table, and each sat on half of the chair.

But they refused to touch each other and only rested their buttocks on the stool.

The two men turned their heads and bodies to the side, refusing to look at each other, and picked up their pens and began to copy down.

When two people work together, the efficiency is indeed high.

Soon, the hometowns of everyone in the team were registered.

During the period, everyone in the team discussed for a long time and finally decided to go to Baoshan Town, which has mountains and rivers.

When Lu Tianming informed Xu Wenshan and Shang Mingzhi of his decision, the two also agreed with their decision.

Xu Wenshan even secretly told Lu Tianming that he had good friends in Baoshan Town.

If you encounter any problems, you can go to him.

Seeing that he was serious, Lu Tianming also thanked him seriously.

Next to him, Shang Mingzhi called on the yamen runners not far away to help him watch over the stall.

He and Xu Wenshan led the team into the city.

The group went straight to the county government office and went to the household registration office to apply for new household registration.

I don’t know if it was because King Huai simplified the process, but the entire household registration process was very efficient.

In about half a minute, Lu Qingqing got her and Qin Lang's new household registration.

There is a specially made anti-counterfeiting mark on the household registration. This anti-counterfeiting mark is slightly different from that on banknotes. I don’t know how King Huai made it.

However, no matter what, the fiefdom given by King Huai really gave her one surprise after another!

While everyone was waiting to get their household registration, Lu Tianming saw Xu Wenshan and Shang Mingzhi go to the recruitment office which was dedicated to recruiting talents, so he took the opportunity to ask everyone.

If anyone wants to serve King Huai, please step forward.

If you don't want to, just stay in the team honestly.

Most people in the team are now confused and still thinking.

Only Lu Tianming and Yao Xiancheng have decided to continue their official careers.

Among them, Master Yan had the most conflicted look on his face.

Before fleeing the famine, he taught martial arts to the son of the county magistrate and had a general understanding of the interpersonal circles in the county.

In his opinion, wherever there are people, there are always people who want to dominate others.

If you don't want to be bullied, you have to stand taller.

But after fleeing famine for so long, he was really tired of the days of fighting and killing.

I just want to find a secluded place and be with my wife in peace.

On weekdays, I teach my disciples martial arts and my life is very beautiful.

But when people live in this world, how can everything go as they wish?

At this time, several of Master Yan's apprentices stood up together.

Senior Brother Luo Zhengye stood at the front and took the initiative to speak:

"Master, my fellow apprentices and I have learned a lot of martial arts and we all want to try them out."

Master Yan subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But looking at the disciples' energetic faces full of expectations, I suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the same when I was a teenager just starting out as an apprentice.

Young people always have infinite aspirations and want to make a career.

In the end, all the worries and warnings from Master Yan turned into a sigh.

"Ah! If you want to go, go and try.

However, now that we are in the midst of war, the battlefield is often filled with human lives, and there are too many casualties.

If possible, I hope you will choose one that is less dangerous.

You also know that your master's wife is always thinking about you, don't make her sad!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of several fellow disciples were red.

The master was not only talking about his mistress, but also himself!

Beside, the mistress saw that everyone from Luo Zhengye to Li Rui was going, and she knew that she couldn't stop them, so she could only embrace Lu Qingqing and whispered:

"Daya, your brothers have all grown up and are about to fly away.

You, Xiaolang, and Shufu are still young and will have many years to grow up. You can't go, understand?"
