Chapter 481: The County Magistrate
The setting sun is warm.
Supplementary Han General's Mansion, front yard.
Those who entered and exited were all officials and soldiers, and in the corridors and at the doors were full of war soldiers wearing spears and swords.
These soldiers showed a tiger and wolf look, and everyone seemed to be assassins.
The solemn and murderous aura soared into the sky.
If you don’t know, you would think something happened. In fact, this is just the daily life of the General of the Han Dynasty.
Wu Nian was also an enemy of the Mongol Yuan and Chu. The Xiang Shangwang was worth ten thousand gold and was granted the title of Marquis. If the guards of the General Supplementary Han were not stricter, they might have been involved in the assassin.
As Wu Nian's personal general, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and his soldiers, absolutely not allow such things to happen.
At the gate.
An official in green stood in front of the door, looked up and looked anxious. Suddenly his eyes lit up, he walked forward and said, "Mr. Zhang. You are here. The other two have been sitting for half an hour."
The person who came was twenty-seven or eight years old, with a delicate face, fair skin, slender figure, and a gust of wind. He wore a blue long gown, which was very gentle.
Behind him were two long followers, one holding a small donkey, the other carrying a book box, and a team of eleven guards.
The visitor clasped his fists at the Qingyi official, bent over and apologized: "Mr. Li. I'm so sorry. I encountered something on the road and delayed the journey."
"Stop talking about it, come in quickly. Generals and chief officials are busy every day. It is not easy to take time to see you."
The officials in the green-clothed state seemed to have a good relationship with the visitor. While speaking casually, they grabbed the visitor's hand and went to the general's mansion.
As for Changsui and Guards, they were all settled by others.
The person who came was Zhang Haiping. He was 28 years old this year and was born in Huanglong Mansion in Liaodong. Before the Mongols and Yuan people invaded Liaodong, they were a scholar.
After the Mongols and Yuan invasion, they fled to Beishan Fort. Because at that time, there were too many refugees in Beishan Fort and it was difficult to manage.
Wu Nian reorganized the refugees and established the most basic official pavilion leader.
Zhang Haiping was the head of the pavilion at that time. Later, Wu Nian led troops to fight with four ten thousand households and captured nine castles. After the war, he was promoted to the lord of the castle.
Although he is young, he has very rich experience in grassroots governance.
This time, Wu Nian asked Liu Zhixing to recommend an official and promoted him to county magistrate. Zhang Haiping was one of them.
Of course, there is not a single word of the eight characters yet. Whether it can be successful will be different.
After all, Liu Zhixing only has the right to recommend, but does not have the right to decide.
Power is in Wu Nian's hands.
Zhang Haiping was eager to get this opportunity. Although he was a scholar, his talent for studying was not outstanding. If he followed the normal life trajectory, the possibility of him being admitted to the imperial examination, Jinshi, and becoming a county magistrate was slim.
The Mongols and Yuan people went south, which was undoubtedly a disaster for the people of Liaodong.
But the auxiliary Han general Wu Gong led them to fight against the Mongolian Yuan.
He did his best to support him. He also unexpectedly discovered that he had the ability to be an official. This was a change of fate.
He hopes to seize this opportunity.
"Hu." Zhang Haiping took a deep breath, his expression became extremely serious, and his thin body tried to hold his head up as high as possible to make himself look more energetic.
Soon, Zhang Haiping, under the guidance of the Qingyi official, came to a small living room.
There is no one in the main seat.
There was one person sitting on each of the Taishi chairs on both sides. One person was thirty-seven or eight years old, with a round face and looked very kind.
A man looks like aged 25 or 26, with big eyes and sword eyebrows, and his lips are tightly closed, which makes him not very easy to mess with.
Both of these two people are known to Zhang Haiping. The one with a round face is called Lu Sheng, who has a kind personality and outstanding ability. The one with a big-eyed sword-eyed eyebrows is called Wang Youxiao, who has a strong personality and outstanding ability.
The three of them were all officials who were appointed by Wu Nian during his time in Beishanbao. They had frictions and cooperation in work.
After Zhang Haiping came in, he clasped his fists at the two of them and said hello, then came to the second chair on the right and sat down.
Lv Sheng and Wang Youxiao also held his fists and returned the favor.
Lu Sheng and Zhang Haiping sat next to each other. He looked up at Wang Youxiao first, then turned around and joked to Zhang Haiping: "Mr. Zhang. You are here. I sat with the guy opposite for half an hour, but I really suffocated me to death."
Zhang Haiping couldn't help laughing. Lu Sheng was kind and talked a lot. Wang Youxiao had a strong personality and talked little.
These two guys sat together, only staring at each other.
And only Lu Sheng is uncomfortable. Wang Youxiao is not talking too much, so he can sit for a day without saying anything.
Wang Youxiao looked up at Lu Sheng and said nothing.
Zhang Haiping smiled and said, "Mr. Lü. It's not that I'm talking about you. You can't hold back and want to speak because your practice is not enough. And Mr. Wang is like a Buddha. He can increase your ability and endurance against him. He has helped you. How can you blame him?"
Lv Shin-wen Yan rolled his eyes and muttered, "What a fallacy."
The two of them became the lords of the castle and hadn't seen each other for a long time. After this, Lu Sheng couldn't stop talking and chatted with Zhang Haiping.
"Mr. Zhang. This time we are both competitors. Now the General of the Supplementary Han Dynasty's Mansion is like a fish in water. Lord Changshi recommended us. Although the eight characters are not yet drawn, I guess that our county magistrate's seat is already nailed to the iron plate."
"But they are both county magistrates. Jiang County, Yuan County and Ding County are very different."
Lu Sheng looked up at Zhang Haiping, showing a meaningful expression.
"Yes. Jiang County is the big county. I want to be the county magistrate in Jiang County and show my ambitions. Lord Lu. Just like you said, we are competitors now. Please don't talk to me."
Zhang Haiping smiled and joked.
Lu Sheng rolled his eyes. This was a very serious matter. Should this guy's tone be so relaxed and pleasant?
"Don't really treat me as a clay sculpture in the temple." Wang Youxiao suddenly spoke, and hit the nail on the head. "I also want to be the magistrate of Jiang County."
Zhang Haiping and Lu Sheng were both stunned. Did this wooden sculpture actually speak?
But then, a serious look appeared on the two of them.
No matter how ridiculed it, Wang Youzhao is also very capable.
You should know that there are currently many officials under the General's Mansion of the Han Dynasty, and the county magistrate has only three positions. They can stand out from so many officials.
There are only four words of the reason.
Outstanding.
"There is a saying that those who are capable occupies the position. The decision is in the hands of the general. When we meet the general, we will rely on our abilities to fight for the position of the magistrate of Jiangxian County."
Zhang Haiping showed a serious look on his face and hugged and clasped his fists at the two of them.
"Don't worry. The county magistrate of Jiang County must be mine." Lu Sheng showed a confident look on his round face.
Chapter completed!
