Chapter 815: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 815: Xu family, Xu Dali
Shu Yu was stunned. She was being asked to choose the person who would replace her?
"Sir, the estate's management should naturally be chosen by someone of your rank. How can I have the qualifications for that?"
"You do have the qualifications. I have recently arrived in Heichang County, and especially when it comes to Zhengdao Village, I am not familiar with the matters here. It's not easy to find someone who meets the requirements. Moreover, the county government is short-staffed, and there are many vacancies that can't be filled."
What do you mean by "can't be filled"? She was just a small record-keeper in the estate. There was no need to make things difficult like this.
Shu Yu understood that the County Magistrate was trying to leave a good impression before he left.
After all, he wouldn't lose anything, but he could establish a good relationship.
Since that was the case, Shu Yu stopped declining.
However, she had only been in Zhengdao Village for about half a year, and she didn't know many people.
The ones she had good relationships with were the Zhang family, Ma Lu, Fang's family, and Xu's family.
The first few families might be fine for other tasks, but for the job of record-keeping, at the very least, they needed to know how to read.
The Zhang family, Ma Lu, and Fang's family might recognize a few characters, but it was clearly not enough. Moreover, the handwriting they produced might not be very legible.
After thinking it over, the most suitable person was Xu's family.
Xu Dali had one hand amputated, Xu Zhensheng was still a young child, and Lin Shi was weak and frail. Although the three of them worked hard together, their living conditions were still quite difficult due to their physical limitations.
However, Xu Dali knew how to read. His father used to work for a certain noble who wanted to rebel. At that time, their family conditions were still good, and Xu Dali had received an education.
He didn't need to write articles and pursue a career, so recording simple matters would not be a problem for him.
Moreover, the hand he had lost was his left hand.
If Xu Dali worked in the estate, the Xu family would definitely have a much easier time, and even Xu Zhensheng wouldn't need to go to the wasteland to pick up pieces of dirt every day.
After going through her thoughts, Shu Yu said to the Prefect, "There is a candidate, but this person had one of his hands amputated while hunting before. I don't know if his handwriting is good now."
"The amputated hand is not a big deal. As for the handwriting... why don't we call him back and give it a try?"
After saying that, the County Magistrate looked at Wang Changdong, who was by the side.
Wang Changdong quickly said, "I'll go and get him."
The County Magistrate didn't actually intend for him to go personally, he just wanted him to make the arrangements.
But Wang Changdong was an honest person. After saying he would go, he immediately ran out.
The County Magistrate looked at his figure and said to Shu Yu, "I wasn't lying. The county government is indeed short-staffed."
After the previous County Magistrate was dismissed, some of the government officials who were involved with him were also dealt with.
The remaining constables were used to doing things in their own way, and they weren't very efficient.
"Wang Changdong is an honest person. He is diligent, doesn't make excuses, and is quite clever."
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Big Brother Wang's wish to transfer to the county town might come true?
She nodded, "Indeed, Zhengdao Village used to be under master Lan's management, and it was chaotic back then. It gradually improved after Wang Changdong took charge."
"Well, I'll take another look. If he is suitable, I will transfer him to the county town." The County Magistrate rubbed his chin. "But in that case, Zhengdao Village will be short of someone in charge."
Shu Yu said, "Sir, this time I really don't have any candidates."
