Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After eating noodles at Yang Bo's place, Zhao Hao and Lu Guangzu went to the Literary and Selection Department to do business.

    ¡°I¡¯m here to exchange resources today, how come it¡¯s related to the railway?

    Lord Tianguan enthusiastically sent Zhao Hao out of the holding room, and loudly ordered Lu Guangzu: "You can choose any nephew Zhao Xian you want, if the place he likes is not vacant. Come and tell me, I will move my seat."

    Wang Bengu on the side quickly praised him and said: "Zhao Xiuzhuan, the top scholar, was demoted and sent abroad, and he also brought the God of Wealth with him. Wherever he goes, the people will be blessed."

    "Yes." Lu Guangzu also nodded and smiled: "I hope that Zhao Zhuangyuan can go to our Huzhou to serve as an official."

    "It depends on what the person wants. Zhao Zhuangyuan has been wronged enough. We can't add any more trouble to him." Yang Bo winked at Zhao Hao and said, "If my nephew doesn't mind, how about letting your father go to our Shanxi? I  Make sure he rises to prominence smoothly!"

    "My father and son can't get what they want, but it's not enough for two thousand miles, so what can we do?" Zhao Haoxin said, "Fuck you, you're a big-headed idiot."

    "Oh, haha, slick." Yang Bo patted Zhao Hao's back hard and said, "Before I leave, I will hold a banquet to see you and your son off. Let you know that we Shanxi people are not just noodles eaters."

    Lu Guangzu was surprised when he heard this.  He secretly thought that this old man could actually invite people to dinner. How much favor did he owe the Zhao family and his son?

    ??~~

    Back at the Literature and Selection Department, Lu Guangzu took Zhao Hao into the Jiage Library.

    In the cabinet warehouse, a file rack with a height of more than ten feet is arranged neatly.

    The outward facing side of each file rack is engraved with the names of the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the country, as well as the names of local government offices such as the Metropolitan Salt Envoy Department, the Salt Class Tiju Department, and the Shibo Tiju Department.

    Lu Guangzu led Zhao Hao to wander in the ocean of local official files.

    "According to the decree, your Majesty will be sent to serve as an official two thousand miles away. Don't consider Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan. The rest of the places are up to you."

    With that said, Lu Quancao smiled and said: "I sincerely suggest that you, father and son, consider going to Zhejiang."

    "Zhejiang is a good place." Zhao Hao smiled apologetically: "But my father already has his heart set on something, and I hope you will fulfill it."

    "Of course it depends on your father's wishes." Lu Guangzu has been the doctor of literary anthology for so many years, and he has never been so easy to talk to.

    There is no other way, who makes Mr. Zhao have a big background?  In addition to the Lord of the Ministry and Wang Shilang, even Mr. Zhang, Lu Guangzu's concubine, also came to him specifically.  Please ask him to help Zhao Hao.

    ¡®Hey, I¡¯ve never seen such a tough seventh-grade official backstage.  ¡¯ Lu Guangzu sighed secretly, but this should be a problem that Zhao Zhuangyuan¡¯s future bosses will worry about. Why is he so worried?

    Zhao Hao¡¯s eyes passed over a row of file racks, and finally landed on the row belonging to Nanzhili.

    "My father has always wanted to go to Wuxian."

    ??~~

    Chunsong Hutong, Zhao Mansion.

    Zhao Shouzheng had had lunch and was lying on the mat basking in the sun.

    Although the swelling in his buttocks has gone down, he can¡¯t go out until he leaves Beijing for the full set.

    The weather was so good, but he couldn¡¯t go boating to enjoy the flowers or watch the mandarin ducks playing in the water. Mr. Zhao couldn¡¯t help but feel bored and asked Fan Datong who was accompanying him:

    "You said, what official will my son choose for me?"

    "Who knows." Fan Datong replied vaguely while eating the ripe plums: "Anyway, it doesn't matter what my brother said, just do whatever you like."

    "That's what I said," Zhao Shouzheng raised his head and rolled his eyes at him.  "I don't want to worry about it. A good man has his ambitions everywhere, and it doesn't matter where he goes to become an official."

    Fan Datong gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, your level is getting higher and higher now."

    "But it's best to choose a remote place with simple folk customs, few people and few things to do, and a quieter place." Zhao Shouzheng himself said sadly: "Never go to a big city."

    "What's wrong with big cities?" Fan Datong asked puzzledly: "Big cities are the fattest ones."

    "Are I a man who is short of oil and water?" Zhao Shouzheng rolled his eyes at him and said seriously:

    "My brother has always been kind to others and doesn't like intrigues. The people in big cities are unruly, contentious and litigious. There are countless powerful families, and they may even have higher-level yamen. The county magistrate is like a rat in a chimney, with both ends  How does it feel to be offended?¡±

    "Brother sees so clearly?" Fan Datong was shocked. How could this be what his brother said?

    "I heard it all from my peers." Mr. Zhao suddenly said with innocent eyes: "How could I think so much?"

    "But since my brother thinks so, why don't he mention it to his nephew?" Fan Datong wondered.?.

    "Hey, my son has great ambitions." Zhao Shouzheng shook his head and said with a proud smile: "Although I don't quite understand the books he wrote and the words he said, I know that this child is doing  It¡¯s a big deal. How can a parent hold back a child? We will do whatever he asks us to do"

    "My nephew is so lucky to have a father like my brother." Although Fan Datong didn't understand, he didn't stop him from flattering him.

    "Of course." Zhao Shouzheng had a look on his face, and suddenly stretched out his hand to scratch his butt, and said happily: "It's so itchy. Fortunately, my son only had twenty strokes, otherwise my butt would have bloomed."  ¡±

    "Hey, one hundred taels of silver per plate, my brother's butt is so valuable now." Fan Datong also expressed emotion.

    ??~~

    The Department of Literary Selection and the Cabinet Library.

    "Wuxian County is just over two thousand miles away from the capital." After hearing Zhao Shouzheng's choice, Lu Guangzu thought for a moment, and then said with some confusion: "But who wants to be an official in a place like that?"

    Is Wu County good? Of course it is. It is Fuguo County in Suzhou!

    Who doesn¡¯t love Suzhou, the richest city in the Ming Dynasty, a paradise on earth?

    But being a county magistrate in Suzhou is a different story

    "I'm afraid that the father and son simply yearn for paradise on earth and don't know the hardships of officialdom.  Lu Guangzu kindly reminded Zhao Hao again:

    "My official family is in Huzhou, which is adjacent to Suzhou. I often hear that there is a proverb in Suzhou: 'Gold Taicang, Yin Jiading, Tong Changshu, Tie Chongming, Tofu Wujiang, Beggar Kunshan, Zhi Changzhou, Hollow Wuxian', which is easy to say.  It is the merits and demerits of official shortages in the seven counties of Suzhou Prefecture."

    "Oh, how do you say this?" Zhao Hao asked enthusiastically.

    "Of course it is best to be an official in Taicang. Taicang is known as the granary of the Ming Dynasty. It is the land of fish and rice. Not only is it very rich, but it is also far away from the government officials. The only people you see every day are coastal defense officials. Being an official there can't be more nourishing Of course  , Your Majesty is demoted according to the decree and cannot go to Taicang Prefecture."

    Lu Guangzu explained to Zhao Hao: "The situation in Jiading is similar, only slightly inferior. If your father must go to Suzhou, I highly recommend it."

    "Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded. Jiading is indeed an excellent place to go. Unfortunately, Suzhou City is calling him, so he can only feel wronged by his father.

    "The third place is 'Tongchangshu'. It is also a good place. It has fertile soil, no floods and droughts, and is close to the golden waterway of the Yangtze River. It is actually richer than the first two places." Lu Guangzu then commented:  "But the people in Changshu are unruly, the gentry and common people are extremely cunning, and the county magistrate is like being roasted on the fire so it is not as comfortable as the first two."

    Hearing this, Zhao Hao suddenly remembered what Wang Wuyang had said about the misdeeds of his family and Wang Xijue's family in Taicang.  It is simply unimaginable what Changshu, which is even more outrageous than Taicang, would look like.

    Could it be possible to turn the world upside down?
