  Ham is very happy to be the team leader. It is the first time for his ancestors to be an official for five or six generations. This is a rare experience!

   Although there is no salary for being a team leader, you can be a leader!

  So, since the title of team leader was added to his head, Ham felt that he could walk with strength, and his whole person was much younger, with more face.

After sweeping up the last **** on the street, Ham inspected more than 20 streets in the four hundred-household districts, and found that the garbage pools and the streets were clean and there was no rubbish, so he went back with confidence and went to work. My team leader's buddy.

  When he came near his home, Ham slowly puffed up his chest and strode with his head held high. He looked like a team leader.

  Of course this is what he thinks, and what other people think, too. It's very majestic.

  The girls and boys along the street cast envious glances at him, which greatly satisfied Ham's vanity, and made Ham, who had bowed his head for decades, very happy.

  Looking ahead, Ham saw his neighbor Raul coming back panting. Ham looked up and saw that the sun had turned yellow and it was getting dark, so he hurriedly completed the task.

   "Raul!" Ham called out.

   "Hey!" Raul was about to go home to rest when he heard Ham's voice, turned around and agreed.

   "Ham, what's the matter!" After a trot, Raul came to Ham's side and asked suspiciously.

   "Wait a while to go to the district chief's house, you know the district chief's house!" Ham looked at Raul's sweaty forehead and said.

   "Hey! I know! I'll go as soon as I drink my saliva!" Raul nodded and responded hastily.

   "Hurry up, the district chief may have something to announce today, don't be late, I'm leaving first, and someone else will notify you!"

  Ham gave Raul a warning, and then left.

  Raul looked at Ham who was slowly leaving, with envy and jealousy in his eyes. He had a stable job, and he was also a small official, with no worries about food and drink.

   "Jack, go to the district chief's house before eating, don't forget!"

   "Little Ram, tell your father to go directly to the district chief's house for dinner!"

  While walking, Ham saw the people under his command and shouted a few words. In less than ten minutes, all the people had been notified. Going back to change a pair of shoes, Ham went to the district chief's house full of energy.

  At this time, at the District Chief's house, a middle-aged man wearing a hat was sitting in front, and behind him stood three young men in their twenties, well-behaved and somewhat reserved.

  Afterwards, Lemiel walked in lightly, and bowed to the middle-aged man who was sitting: "Your Excellency, District Chief, I have already notified you!"

   "En! Got it!" The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said slowly.

  Lemir then stood aside like the other three young people, looking around boredly.

   Rodney sat on a chair, thinking about things in silence.

   As the owner of a grain shop, Rodney's reputation for generosity has been passed down through this generation, and he has also been nicknamed "The Generous Rodney".

  After inheriting the grain store from his father, Rodney from time to time made moldy and sprouted grains into bread and distributed them to some poor people, and sometimes invited people to drink a glass of rye wine in the tavern...

   Compared with other stingy businessmen, Rodney is generous.

  These things brought him a great reputation and made him extremely influential in this generation. It can be said that in a few years, he will be able to go to the city council and become the envy of everyone.

But there was an unexpected situation. Starting this year, His Majesty the King actually canceled the autonomy of London. More importantly, he actually promised the city councilors to serve for life. My God, after getting this news, Rodney got very drunk, His MP dreams were shattered.

  However, a few months later, things turned around, because of his good reputation and influence, he was appointed by the mayor as the head of this district.

After learning the good news, he immediately used his right to name this 100-household district as Sweet (Sweet) 100-household District, and then handed over the name to the chief district chief. Finally, the city government recorded that this 100-household district The residential area has become the Hundred-Household District of Sweet.

   This is the privilege of his first Hundred Household District Chief!

  As the mayor of a hundred-household district, the city government paid him as much as one pound (two hundred and forty pence), which was one-third of the profit of his grain shop.

   When he first learned that there was still a salary, Rodney still remembers his surprised expression.

  This morning, he was called by the Chief District Chief, and together with ten other district chiefs, he carried out the order of the city government—to record the population.

  To tell the truth, after he learned of this order, he felt that the city government was simply full of food and had nothing to do, and had nothing to do to have fun.

  No way, for the sake of my official position, it's nothing to be busy.

  Unknowingly, there were men standing in front of Rodney's house, and the smell of sweat gathered together, creating a special smell.

   Smelling this smell, Rodney woke up from the memory, covered his nose, grimaced, he felt an urge to vomit.

   "Jin, Hal, Asak, Lemir, the next task is entrusted to you, don't let me down!"

   Clutching his nose, Rodney's voice changed a bit, and he gave orders to the four young men beside him.

   "I'm not feeling well, I'll go in and have a rest first."

  Seeing the District Chief Rodney who ran away, the four of Lemiel looked at each other helplessly. They could only shrug their shoulders, sighed, and started to work.

From the baskets on the ground, the four of Lemir took away a dozen or so small palm-sized red and white covers. The covers were thickened and seemed to be mixed with a piece of wood. The words "hukou book" were written on them. There are red and white rose pictures painted around it, which looks beautiful and moving.

  Turn over the thickened cover, the first page is arranged in order from top to bottom, county/city..., district..., area code..., owner..., population....

  Turn to the second page, which lists the head of the household..., gender..., age..., date of birth....

  The rest of the pages are the same, except that they record family members. Does it look familiar to everyone? Isn’t this a pirated version of the account book?

  The servants of His Excellency the District Mayor moved out four tables and chairs from the house, and the four of them sat on them respectively.

  Although they didn't know what to do, the people were still ordering by Lemire to line up and start one by one.

  After hearing the orders from the four of Lemir, Ham consciously lined up in front of Lemir's table, ranking first.

  Lemir looked up, then lowered his head, picked up the quill, and prepared to record.

  As a clerk under the mayor of Hundred Households, he had been trained for three months before taking office, and he was able to recognize and write more than 3,000 words, barely qualified, of course, in English.

   "Are you the head of your household?" Lemir asked without raising his head, "Name?"

  "Ham" Ham answered honestly.

   "How many people are there in the family?"

   "Five, my family gave me a daughter this year!" Ham laughed.
