Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

A vigorous scrubbing! Chen Siwu was scrubbed until his whole body was red.

After a simple wash with the soapberries in the bathhouse, he came out.

After coming out, he felt light as a feather... not sure how many pounds he had lost.

The people behind him also finished washing one after another and returned to the changing room.

A group of people stood in the changing room, staring at each other for a while, then tacitly sat down on the long benches, speechless.

No one wanted to put on their clothes, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

The reason for not wanting to put on clothes was simple.

The old clothes were too dirty. Having just finished washing, no one wanted to put them back on.

A group of people sat together, bare-assed, feeling waves of discomfort in their hearts.

Before long, someone spoke up: "Didn't they say... we'd get new pants?"

"Yeah! I heard that too. I don't know if they're still giving them out...."

After these two sentences, everyone fell silent again. Chen Siwu also sat blankly in the crowd, sighing softly.

While they were silent, they suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the entrance.

Then they saw someone come in, carrying a pile of clothes.

Upon entering the changing room, he said loudly, "The new clothes are here! Make some room for me to put the clothes down!"

Joy erupted in everyone's eyes, and they all dodged away, standing on the ground.

The low-ranking official laboriously placed the large pile of clothes on the long benches, panting. "The new clothes and pants are here! Change your clothes. If you want your old ones, you can take them. If you don't, we'll throw them away for you!"

"Put on your clothes first. Your bare asses are an eyesore! Shoes will be delivered later. After you change, don't rush to leave. We'll arrange everything!"

Chen Siwu's eyes burst with joy, and he said anxiously, "Isn't it just pants?!"

The low-ranking official waved his hand: "That was just the first batch. Lord Fang thought it was unseemly, so now we're giving out full sets!"

The people in the room were immediately excited when they heard this, kneeling down and saying excitedly, "Thank you, Lord Fang! Lord Fang is a good official!"

The low-ranking official said impatiently: "Get up, get up. You can't reach Lord Fang by yelling here. If you want to yell, go yell on the street!"

The low-ranking official had seen this situation several times and had even reported it to Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng personally instructed on the correct way to say it: Let the people yell on the streets!

Chen Siwu got up and happily put on the new clothes.

After changing, everyone looked at each other, noticing all kinds of colorful words printed on the clothes and pants.

"Huh? What's printed on this! It's quite nice-looking. Lord Fang is truly dedicated to the people!"

"Such good clothes and shoes, with words on them too. This must have cost a lot of money."

"Wuwu... I haven't worn new clothes in years....."

Listening to the chatter around him, Chen Siwu's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but rub them.

Before long, the shoes were also delivered. Like the clothes, they were covered in colorful patterns.

And there were also words on them.

In the simple minds of the common people, anything with words on it was definitely a good thing! No mistake!

Once everything was worn, some people said they didn't want their old clothes anymore!

Lord Fang indeed kept his word. He said he would lead everyone to get rich, and he had already given them such a good set of clothes before even starting.

To hell with the old rags!

However, most people couldn't bear to part with their old clothes and carried them away.

Under the guidance of the low-ranking official, they walked out of the bathhouse gate and headed towards another place.

This new location had nothing but a few tables and a few clerks.

Behind them was a mountain of wooden boards.

Chen Siwu curiously started to queue up again.

When it was his turn, the low-ranking official grabbed his hand, glanced at the contents of the hand牌, and pulled out a wooden board from behind.

With a thick brush, he dipped it in ink and wrote two large characters.

【Laborer】

Then he handed the wooden board to Chen Siwu and said, "Alright!"

"Take this board and go to the city. Go wherever you want. Squat in a corner and wait to get rich!"

Chen Siwu took the wooden board and fell into thought as he looked at the two characters on it.

Could it be... that these two characters could make him rich?

It couldn't be that wealth would just fall from the sky!

So, he plucked up his courage and asked, "M.. Master, what do these two characters mean? Can you tell me?"

The low-ranking official's face turned red, and he said vaguely while looking at the wooden board, "Um... never mind, you just need to know it's useful! The people above said that this can make you rich!"

While speaking, the next person's sign was already written.

It was written with the three characters 'Bricklayer'.

Chen Siwu glanced at it, and his brow furrowed deeply.

I have two characters, and he has three characters. Wouldn't that mean he'll get richer than me?

He continued to ask, "Then... then Master, why does he have three characters, and I only have two characters? Can you help me write two more?"

The low-ranking official glanced at Chen Siwu and smiled, "Hey! You're quite interesting! Why do you have so many questions?"

Seeing that his attitude was good, Chen Siwu continued to ask, "Master, can you write them? Can you?"

The low-ranking official smiled and beckoned to him: "Okay, come, come, I'll help you add two strokes."

Chen Siwu beamed and handed over the wooden board.

The low-ranking official quickly added two more characters: 【Premium Laborer】!

Looking at the four characters on the wooden board, Chen Siwu's heart burst with joy.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

After speaking, he walked away with the wooden board as if he had obtained a treasure.

After wandering around the city for a while, he saw many people squatting by the roadside with wooden signs like his, and their clothes were also newly changed.

Chen Siwu followed suit, found a crowded place, and squatted by the wall.

Holding the sign, he waited to get rich.

Before long, a person in brocade robes appeared on the street and shouted, "The Sun family needs a batch of people to level the streets. Are there any suitable people?"

The "workers" beside Chen Siwu rushed up.

"Sir! See if I'm good enough?!"

"I'm good! I'm good! I eat less and work more!"

Steward Wang answered the crowd's questions, and suddenly saw Chen Siwu squatting under the wall with the words 'Premium Laborer' on his sign. His eyes lit up.

He walked up to Chen Siwu and asked, "Oh! Premium Laborer, this is the first time I've seen that. How 'premium' are you?"

Chen Siwu raised his head and looked at Steward Wang timidly, "What's 'premium'?"

"It means how capable you are!"

Looking at the group of people beside Steward Wang looking at him with envy.

Chen Siwu's heart warmed up. Was the opportunity to get rich here?

"I... I can work like an ox without eating, and after eating, I can work like three oxen!"

Steward Wang chuckled: "Oh! I can't tell. You're so capable for such a small frame and this age?"

"Then come with me!" Then he said to the people behind him: "Don't make noise! We're hiring a lot of people this time, the Sun family wants all of you!"

Chen Siwu licked his lips and asked expectantly, "Then... if I work for the Sun family, can I get rich?"

Steward Wang had heard this question too many times.

He answered with a smile: "Not now! Look, who has money now? In the future! You will definitely get rich in the future. Just work hard in my Sun family!"

"Okay! Alright!"
