Chapter 517 Lower your guard

Qin's fourth sister-in-law Su Jing is good at martial arts and can help train a group of female guards. Well, Alice can also help with this matter.

After Lu Songli arranged the women of her husband's family, she thought about it and talked to her eldest sister-in-law Tian.

Tian was also a little confused. She didn't expect that she would have to go out to work one day?

If her mother-in-law is going to manage the Charity Bureau, then she should stay at home to manage the household.

"Sister-in-law, several sisters-in-law in my husband's family have decided to accept the suggestion to go out to work. Each of them is responsible for a job. Are you sure you don't want to go out?"

Tian was silent for a while, "Go." They all went out to work, so she would go too.

"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Xue and ask him to arrange it for you."

"Mr. Xue?"

"Yes, he is responsible for the establishment and promotion of the street management office and the neighborhood committee."

"Am I working with your sisters-in-law?"

"No, they are all responsible for different areas. Sister-in-law, you can just be an officer, okay?" Lu Songli explained, "Officers are more relaxed, without responsibility, with more time, and can take care of the old and young at home."

Lu Songli knew that she loved the two children, Lu Xiao and Lu Dan, very much. If she let go of them all of a sudden, she would be at a loss, and the children would not be able to adapt.

It sounds good, Tian nodded, "Okay."

Happiness is all about comparison.

Lu Songli felt that the sister-in-law might be too idle, so she was prone to daydreaming. It was necessary to go out more to see the world and experience the sufferings of the world.

After all, happy people are mostly the same, and unfortunate people have their own misfortunes.

The more you see, the broader your horizons will be, and the wider your heart will be.

The next day, three red lists were posted on the white wall next to the governor's mansion again.

The first one reads "Liaodong Academy adds agricultural colleges, engineering colleges, medical colleges and military colleges and related enrollment requirements".

The second one is a notice that Pingzhou and Youzhou will add a special department - Women's Federation, as well as two grassroots departments - Street Management Office and Township Yamen.

Later, a charity bureau, a health center and a school will be established.

The third one is a public notice of the performance of duties by Jiang, Qin's mother, Cai Xue and others.

The three red lists, especially the contents of the first two red lists, have a profound impact on the people of Pingzhou and Youzhou, but few people can see it at this time.

Many middle and upper class people just think that Lu Songli is like a new official who has to burn three fires and toss around.

These people's reactions to the first two red lists are not as good as the third one.

The news that the women of the Qin and Lu families walked out of the inner house and were about to take up public office triggered a lot of discussion.

Many people are muttering, "Can women be officials these days?" They dare not speak loudly, because the current ruler of Pingzhou is a woman.

Mainly the Charity Bureau and the Women's Federation, which sound like places with little power and little money. They just grumbled and did not oppose fiercely. Of course, even if someone opposed, Lu Songli would not pay attention.

Now, many people think that the positions held by the women of the Qin and Lu families are not important, and they don't want to offend Lu Songli for this matter, so the matter was settled peacefully.

This is the brilliance of Lu Songli. Sometimes, if it is not necessary, don't make drastic reforms.

With a big momentum, resistance will come.

Starting from the subtle points, moistening things silently, or there may be unexpected effects.

As Lu Songli issued the official document with the seal of the governor of Pingzhou, Pingzhou moved from top to bottom.

First, personnel were drawn from various prefectures and departments to assist the new policy in building two grassroots organizations, the street management office and the township government.

Lu Wei received a transfer order, asking him to take charge of the construction and promotion of the township government and the village committee.

He read the official document in detail. The document stipulated the size of the village. The maximum size of the village could not exceed 2,000 people. Villages with less than 300 people needed to merge with the neighboring villages. This was all for the convenience of management.

Then each village had a village chief, a production team leader, a militia leader, an accountant, and a women's officer.

The official document also made relevant provisions for the duties of these people.

At the same time, Xue Xu was responsible for the establishment and promotion of the street management office and the neighborhood committee.

The street management office was approved by the county government and was responsible for managing the neighborhood committees within its jurisdiction. The street management office and the neighborhood committee were in a hierarchical relationship.

The members of the street management office were recruited locally and required relevant assessments. The members of the neighborhood committee were composed of representatives of members within the jurisdiction.

The street management office was a good starting point. Xue Xu arranged for several clansmen who he thought performed well to go in.

Although Pingzhou did not give large rewards to the officials under its jurisdiction during the rebellion, it was a fact that the Li people made great contributions this time. Lu Songli handed over the establishment of the street management office to Xue Xu, which was not without the intention of rewarding them.

In the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, Ding Jun, Zhou Yi and other managers were also transferred.

Those who knew them well congratulated them.

People were transferred from the breeding workshop, planting workshop, clothing workshop, etc.

With this two-pronged approach, Lu Songli hoped that both sides would complete the establishment of the two grassroots organizations of the street management office and the township government as soon as possible.

Pingzhou officials have always been efficient, and Xue Xu is also resolute in his work. As soon as the personnel arrived, he started the work.

Tianshui New Village

A group of people gathered in front of the comprehensive ancestral hall, and everyone's faces were filled with laughter.

These people are all those who have applied for positions in the Street Management Office and have passed the assessment. There are 20 of them. These people are not only from Tianshui New Village, but also from nearby villages. They are all gathered here.

The most important thing is that there are two girls among these 20 people.

At that time, the Street Management Office came to recruit, and it was written that the applicants were not limited to men or women, and there was no age limit. With the attitude of giving it a try, they went, but they didn't expect that they would actually be hired.

There were also many people watching enviously.

The mother with children pointed at one of the girls and said to the children next to her, "Did you see it? Study hard, and you will be like your sister Yang in the future-"

Yang Panpan next to them heard it and smiled at them.

They are leaving today to participate in the on-the-job training.

Yang Wei's wife Mi stopped talking when she saw this, and didn't tell her sister-in-law about anything.

Not long after, a carriage came to pick up Yang Panpan and her group.

Meng Yu looked at them enviously, and then his ears were twisted by his mother.

"I told you not to study hard! You were rejected for the job, right? You really bring shame to our Meng family!"

"The Meng family is not a wealthy family." Meng Yu muttered. He was not without regrets in his heart. If he had known, he would have worked harder.

Seeing that her son refused to repent, Qiao used force on her hand, "The face of our Meng family is not important, but what do you say if you embarrass your brother-in-law?"

"Mom, stop pulling, your ears are going to be pulled off." Meng Yu begged for mercy.

Seeing her son grimacing in pain, Qiao let go.

After Mi sent her sister-in-law and her group away, she saw her neighbor Qiao teaching her useless son a lesson.

When they first came to Houcheng together and were placed in Tianshui New Village, there were many bachelors, but in the past two years, many of them have started families here.

Qiao was considered lucky. She was a widow with a pair of children, which was difficult. Later, her daughter married Ding Guishan, and she and her son also moved to Tianshui New Village.

Mi walked forward and said with a smile, "Auntie Qiao, please don't scold Meng Yu. If it doesn't work this time, just try harder next time. Besides, there are more ways for boys to go."

Qiao just felt it was a pity. Facing Mi's comfort, she could only smile.

Meng Yu's eyes lit up when Mi said, "Yes, mother, at worst I will join the army when I'm old enough!" Anyway, there is more than one way out.

Join the army? Qiao thought of her son-in-law Ding Guishan, who was already a centurion, and thought it was okay. After entering the barracks, at least his brother-in-law would take care of him.

"Let's see."
