Chapter 289 Bringing the villagers to get rich together (4) Choice
When the temperature was almost the same, as everyone's envy and desire were about to overflow, Zhang Ran, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted Sankui and announced to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, this time I'm back, I just want to take everyone to the Shaofu to be an official! Who would you like to go with me?"
"What? Can we also become officials?"
"Brother Ran, are all the words true? Can we be officials even if we are like this?"
......
As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, the crowd immediately exploded. Everyone abandoned Sankui with a "swish" moment, rushed up one after another, and asked around Zhang Ran in a verbal way!
"Uh!" Looking at the people in front of them with excitement and extremely excited expressions, Zhang Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly, and had to speak to stop everyone and said, "Everyone is quiet!"
"Don't talk, listen to me! If anyone makes trouble again, get out and calm down!" Zhang Shan, who was in the crowd, saw this, quickly shouted and scolded everyone harshly.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Shan’s scolding, everyone shrank their heads and quickly covered their mouths, not daring to say another word!
"Haha..." Seeing this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but give Zhang Shan a glimpse of praise, and then smiled at everyone in front of him, "Don't be anxious, listen to me tell you slowly! In the past, because I had just become an official, I was not very familiar with official affairs, so I could not take everyone to work in the Shaofu.
However, after more than two months of hard work, the situation has finally been opened up... I am able to take care of everyone! Therefore, I came back this time to take everyone to become an official!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Ran paused slightly and said to everyone: "But there is one thing I want to explain to you in advance. Because now I am just a 400-stone Forbidden Purchase Chief, and his official position is not too great, so his ability is limited... Even if I take you to the Shao Mansion, at most I can only do the job of a certain food stakeholder!"
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, everyone looked at each other and fell completely silent... But just a few seconds later, someone in the crowd couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Brother Ran, don't think we don't know! The official who fights food is also an official with a salary of rice, which is bigger than our Zhangli Lizheng! Is this still small?"
As soon as Zhang Ying finished speaking, Zhang Dian beside him echoed: "Yes, yes, I heard that the head of our Xiting is only a hundred stones. The assistants under his command are just food-fighting officials! If we can be a food-fighting official, it is already a smoke from the ancestral tomb!"
As soon as Zhang Dian said, it immediately resonated with everyone present. Everyone said you and I agreed with each other: "That's right, even the officials who fight for food are no longer small. If we had not been taken care of by Brother Ran, we would never have achieved such a good thing in our eight lives!"
"Uh" Zhang Ran was slightly surprised when he heard everyone's words. He felt that he underestimated the weight of the fighting official in the eyes of everyone! He also underestimated the official... Even if he was a minor official, he would have a huge attraction to everyone!
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Zhang Ran quickly poured a pot of cold water on everyone and said, "Two and three sons, it's okay if you want to be an official! I can arrange the same errands for you as Sankui! However, the assistant officials in this young mansion are different from ordinary assistant officials in the county. The freedom is very small, and they are not as prestigious as the assistant officials in the county!
To put it bluntly, this young man is a specialist in managing royal property for His Majesty. Although he has a high status, his daily work is not much different from that of servants from wealthy families or powerful families. This is especially true for the officials with lower positions!
Working in the Shaofu, not only should you be careful in your words and actions, but also, in order to prevent you from leaking royal secrets, most people must stay in Weiyang Palace or Shanglin Garden and do not leave at will... This means that once you go to the Shaofu, you will lose your freedom to a large extent!
Even for months or even years, you should not leave the Shao Mansion at will, let alone go home...so, you must be mentally prepared!"
"Ah? Can't you go home?" Everyone exclaimed when they heard Zhang Ran say this, because the scene described by Zhang Ran was too different from the scene they imagined!
Therefore, after Zhang Ran finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but feel silent, with a slight difference in expressions. Some people were eager to try, some were depressed, and some were unpredictable...
Some people even gave up because of this. For example, Zhang Shan’s face was not very good-looking. As one of the pillars of the family, he also had his old mother and several younger brothers and sisters to take care of. It was obvious that it was impossible for him to stay outside for many years!
Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, the enthusiasm subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh softly and said in his heart: "There is a way that cannot be separated from his hometown, and it really hits the point, not just a casual talk!"
After waiting for nearly five minutes, seeing that everyone had almost digested the news he brought, Zhang Ran looked around and asked everyone in front of him again: "It's almost the same. Who else do you want to go to Shaofu with me now... stand up by yourself!"
"I'll go!" As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, a person suddenly strode out of the crowd and came directly to Zhang Ran, saying to him very seriously: "Brother Ran, I am willing to work with you in the Shaofu! Even if I can't go home for three to five years, I will follow you!"
"Okay!" Seeing Zhang Ying's firm expression, Zhang Ran nodded happily, then looked around and said, "Zhang Ying has decided to go, are there anyone else?"
"I'll go too!" As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, someone in the crowd stood up and clasped his fists at Zhang Ran and said, "Brother Ran, I have two brothers in my family, so I don't need to worry too much about the family matters! I'm willing to go out with you!"
"Okay!" Zhang Ran nodded, then looked at the rest of the people!
"The opportunity is rare, I'm willing to give it my best! I'm the only one!"
"And me!"
With the example set by Zhang Ying and Zhang Dian, several people couldn't help but stand up and expressed their desire to follow Zhang Ran.
.........
Finally, Zhang Ran counted that a total of eight people were willing to go to Shaofu to become officials, and most of these people have one thing in common, that is, they have many brothers and sisters at home, so they have much less worries. Even if they cannot go home for a short time, it will not have much impact on the family.
