Last time, Yan Ji proposed that Xu Wen compete for the chief official of "that big thing".

At the time, he didn't say what the big deal was, but now it's written in the letter.

Three years later, an envoy from a Western country was about to come to the Great Zhou to meet the saint, which was the first time that such a western country had come here, and the imperial court attached great importance to it.

In order to show the prestige of the great country and welcome foreign envoys, the Great Zhou Emperor decided to leave a deep impression on the other party at the beginning of the Great Zhou.

That is to build a new palace at this end of the Hexi Corridor, leaving it for the envoys to settle down, and at the same time to experience the glorious national prestige of the Great Zhou.

In order to welcome one person to build a palace, it is still in a place like the West Desert.

Undoubtedly, this is a very extravagant and wasteful behavior, but it is normal in this era, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not oppose it, so it was decided.

Three years seems like a lot of time, but it is actually very intense for building a complete palace.

Not to mention the exact location of this palace has not yet been officially determined.

For this matter, the service craftsmen sent to the Western Desert this time are different from previous years, and after special selection, there is no shortage of candidates with strong strength and good at overall planning.

They certainly have the right qualifications and the power to choose where the palace will be built – although the final location needs to be further decided.

In addition, once this chief officer is appointed, he will also be responsible for the overall planning and management of the entire Western Desert service craftsmen, and the corresponding materials, materials, money and food are all under his control, and he only accepts the supervision of the corresponding personnel.

This is what Yan Ji said before, "It is about 10 million taels of silver and more than 100,000 servants".

A palace built with all the strength of the Western Desert should indeed have such a handiwork!

Of course, in addition to power, there is also a heavy responsibility at stake.

In this era, the power is handed over to you, and if you don't do it well, you will be killed.

This letter was given to Yan Ji, and it also had the double seals of the Ministry of Industry and the Inner Pavilion.

Xu Wen held the letter in his hand and suddenly thought of something.

The Inner Pavilion carefully selected so many people to form a team to come to the Western Desert, and it cannot be said that they did not attach importance to this matter.

But on the other hand, there are so many people, if you don't count Xu Wen, who is incognito, only one Jiang Wangfeng has passed the three apprenticeship examinations, which can be regarded as meeting the qualifications for the selection of chief officials.

Jiang Wangfeng is romantic and cute, and has a very good personality, but it is obviously not the material to be the chief official, and if he was selected from the beginning, it would be a little unreasonable.

But Xu Wen's appearance was an accident, and the Inner Pavilion would never take his unexpected situation into account......

If the Uchimonokaku sent a team over, it would be impossible to give up the competition for the chief officer. Not to mention that as Yan Ji said, their team must be twisted into a rope in order to exert their maximum strength.

Time was passing fast, and Xu Wen was entangled.

Even if he didn't care about these things, Yan Ji obviously wanted to push him to the throne now.

But on the one hand, the position of chief officer represents not only great power, but also great responsibility.

Does he really have what it takes to shoulder such a big responsibility?

Attached to the letter is an application form, with a blank space for the core team and the intended location of the city.

At that time, the relevant links of the chief officer competition will be linked to the content of the application.

Obviously, this is the method that Yan Ji gave him to deal with.

As long as he designated the core team under his command as the one that Nanyue was to be punished, he was temporarily given the right to dispose of it and could change their fate.

If he wins the competition, he will be in charge of all the Western Desert craftsmen when the city is officially built, and the core team can be adjusted.

But in the early stage of competition, the team he used could only be designated by him, and could not be replaced.

The palace is a large building, which cannot be completed by one person, and requires a lot of overall planning and coordination in the process of construction.

The Yueling team was brought out by him, and the two sides already have a tacit understanding, this team in Nanyue has never known anything, and he still doesn't know what kind of situation it is.

Even if he really wants to compete, with a team of moon ages has a better chance of winning than with such a team!

And with what he is doing along the way now and the tacit understanding he has reached with Yan Ji and others, even if he does not participate in the competition, the future is very promising.

And if he wins the competition with the Moon Age Team and takes on that heavy responsibility, he will be even more invincible, with huge financial resources and power, and an extremely rare opportunity to challenge his ability.

And excluding all factors, there is also the reason why he rejected Yan Ji before.

If he wants to compete, he can only expose his identity as "Xu Wen".

This is related to Lian Tianqing's whereabouts, and he can't do this without the permission of the other party.

Now as long as he stays here and waits for time to pass, everything can be solved.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with him, and even if he doesn't do anything, no one will say anything about him.

To make it clear, he came to this world to learn things, he didn't belong to this world in the first place, what does the life or death of that group of Nanyue craftsmen have to do with him?

In an instant, countless thoughts passed through Xu Wen's mind, as if the tide was surging up and gradually fading away.

He clenched the letter, turned to Qiu Yueming and asked, "Do you have a pen?"

"Yes!" Qiu Yueming hurriedly replied, took one from the side, and handed it to him.

"The team outside, do you know their number?" asked Xu Wen.

"Nanyue Sixth Team. Qiu Yueming's expression was a little strange, but she answered quickly. He answered quickly and didn't check, as if he had been prepared.

Xu Wen wrote quickly, and quickly filled in the name of the Nanyue Sixth Team in the reserve team.

Behind is the location of the preparatory building of the palace, and the tip of Xu Wen's pen paused slightly, and fell down again.

Spring City!

While Qiu Yueming could see clearly, her eyes shrank slightly, and she glanced at Xu Wen, with an expression of admiration on her face.

Xu Wen chose the most difficult, but also the most helpful people!

Xu Wen quickly filled it out and signed his name.

Xu asked.

Name.

He took a deep breath, pressed his fingerprint as requested, and returned the pen to Qiu Yueming.

He walked out.

Now that the decision has been made, there is nothing to regret.

The only thing I can't stand is Master, but in comparison, human life is more important.

When the time comes, let's plead guilty to the master.

Try not to contact them until then, so as not to reveal his whereabouts.

With some faint melancholy in his heart, Xu Wen walked out of the door of the United Office.

"You're here. As soon as he went out, a voice came with a smile, a very characteristic voice, and Xu Wen instantly heard who it was.

"Master Wu!" he looked up in surprise.

"You're in a hurry, aren't you, as you go. Wu Keming walked over with a smile and followed him out, his feet were fast, and he obviously knew what he was going to do.

"Why are you here?" Xu Wen was really surprised.

"Let's not talk about this for now, shouldn't you apologize to me?" Wu Keming looked at him with a smile and asked, "In order to protect your master, you almost sent me to Jiangnan?"
