Chapter 404: Working at the County Office
Hu Li couldn't help but glance at Shu Yu, cleared his throat, and said, "Our county office is currently short-staffed. The officials are impressed by you and know that you are courageous, meticulous, and responsible. So he intend to recruit you to work at the county office. What do you think?"
Work at the county office?
Apart from the County Magistrate and the County Tutor, there were also the Three Divisions and Six Houses at the county office. He couldn't fit in as a scribe in the Six Houses, and he hadn't studied much and didn't know many characters, so it wouldn't be suitable.
Regarding the Three Divisions...
Yuan Shanchuan hesitated and asked, "Are you suggesting I become a constable at the county office?"
"Of course not," Hu Li waved his hand with a smile.
In the Daqi Dynasty, being a constable was considered a lowly profession, and their descendants were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations. So some of the constables at the county office were beggars who couldn't even afford to eat.
Of course, under the management of Weinan, Jiangyuan County didn't have such a situation.
But Yuan Shanchuan was a good citizen. If he had the ability, his future son could even study and take the imperial examinations. Why would he willingly engage in a lowly profession?
Hu Li smiled and said, "The County magistrate want you to become a 'douji.'"
"Douji?" Yuan Shanchuan was stunned.
The other villagers were also in an uproar. Although they didn't know how much the salary of a douji was, this was a job at the county office, and it was a lucrative position.
Whenever grains were delivered to the warehouse, each douji in charge of the warehouse could receive an advance of one dou. They wouldn't have to worry about food.
Moreover, this job was stable and not a labor-intensive one. They would also have connections with the officials at the county office.
If they performed well in the future, who knows, they might catch the attention of the officials and get promoted. Even his infant son could study and take the exams. It was truly a dream job that they couldn't even hope for.
The crowd couldn't help but stare at Yuan Shanchuan with eager eyes, as if they were staring at a fat piece of meat. They wished they could immediately strike up a good relationship with him.
Village Chief Chen was especially delighted. Yuan Shanchuan was from their Da Xu Village. Having someone they knew working at the county office would be very convenient for the village.
Just like this time, because they didn't have any connections at the county office, they couldn't find a way to inquire about Yuan Shanchuan's situation. They had been standing at the county office gate without any progress, unable to even enter.
Great, great.
Village Chief Chen was overjoyed. Seeing that Yuan Shanchuan was still in a daze, he quickly nudged him gently.
Yuan Shanchuan suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at Hu Li.
Hu Li asked him, "What do you think?"
Yuan Shanchuan was more than willing, a hundred times willing. He was excited beyond measure.
But when he thought about the ten taels of silver he still owed Ah Yu, he hesitated.
Yuan Shanchuan couldn't help but look at Shu Yu. Hu Li noticed and leaned in, whispering in his ear, "Actually, it was your niece who proposed this idea. The officials initially planned to give you silver, but Miss Lu said that having a stable job is more important for your family."
Yuan Shanchuan was stunned. Ah Yu suggested it?
He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and smiled as he nodded heavily. "Alright, I'm willing."
