Five days later, Bai Xiaoshan and several other candidates with good grades participated in the last palace examination.

On the Jinluan Palace, the emperor came up with three questions in a row, allowing everyone to answer them on the spot, which was also a debate.

After all, Bai Xiaoshan grew up in a farming family, and his family ran a business, so he had his own views on agriculture and economic development, which made some ministers have to look the other way.

But when it comes to political issues, Bai Xiaoshan is a little inferior, and a noble son talks about it eloquently.

In the end, the aristocratic son won the champion, not because he was really much better than Bai Xiaoshan, but because he was old enough to be an official, coupled with family factors, the emperor was a little biased.

A student who is not confused is given an example, Bai Xiaoshan has become the youngest Tanhualang since the founding of the country, and the remaining candidates who can enter the Jinluan Hall to defend are the top ten Jinshi, and they will definitely make a difference in the future.

The emperor arranged official positions for a group of people on the spot, and the best one was the compilation of the six grades.

"Bai Tanhua, what official position do you want to get?" The emperor looked at Bai Xiaoshan, the only one who had no official position, and actually had a somewhat teasing tone.

It's really Bai Xiaoshan who has always maintained a calm posture, which makes people feel interesting, and I want to see him show a demeanor that matches his age.

"Back to the emperor, the students are still young, and they want to go out to travel, increase their knowledge, and see the great rivers and mountains." Bai Xiaoshan replied respectfully.

The ministers only regard Bai Xiaoshan as self-aware, and at his age, he can't be an official.

"Bai Tanhua is a person from a village under Zidong City, have you heard of Ruyi County?" The Emperor asked with a stroll of heart.

Bai Xiaoshan didn't know why, but he still nodded and said, "The student has heard that during natural disasters, there were the most disaster victims and many bandits. ”

The emperor's question already made the civil and military officials have different thoughts, and when they heard Bai Xiaoshan's straightforward answer, they all pricked up their ears and waited to see a good show.

"Since Bai Tanhua knows Ruyi County so well, then I can rest assured." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the eyes of the people in the palace who didn't understand what he was relieved of, and his heart was even more proud, "Bai Tanhua listens to the order." ”

Bai Xiaoshan knelt on the ground, but his brows furrowed slightly.

"The student takes the order." Bai Xiaoshan bowed his head.

"Bai Tanhua has outstanding knowledge, a thorough understanding of people's livelihood, and has the virtue of sympathy for people's livelihood and the talent of governance. As the transfer period of Ruyi County is approaching, I order you to take up your post in Ruyi County in three months. At the end of the three-year period, if Ruyi County can be prosperous and rich, and the road will not be left behind, I will transfer you to Beijing to write and repair the five products, and thank you. The Emperor waved his hand.

For other people's official positions, the emperor will symbolically ask if it is agreeable.

When he arrived at Bai Xiaoshan, he didn't give anyone a chance to speak.

Bai Xiaoshan's tone was calm and thankful, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but his heart was extremely complicated.

Finally became an official, although it was only a county order, but it was also a serious official, not far from home, and I wouldn't worry about not being able to support my sisters in the future.

But what the emperor said, does it have anything to do with him? What is called the virtue of sympathy for the people's livelihood and the talent of governance, this is clearly to praise those meritorious local officials.

Bai Xiaoshan couldn't understand the emperor's intentions, that is, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and how many people could really understand the emperor's heart?

No one dared to ask the emperor, so they all focused on Bai Xiaoshan, but they all had their own ideas in their hearts.

No matter what others think, after Bai Xiaoshan returned home, the whole family was mixed.

How many people want to get ahead in their lives, and they can't even get famous, Bai Xiaoshan is already a county master when he is only ten years old.

But can the ten-year-old county master serve the public?

Bai Xiaoshan is a child after all, how can the family rest assured that he will take office by himself?

"Originally, I said that after the spring festival was over, I would go on a study tour with my cousin. Now that my cousin has been selected as a county magistrate, I have to wait for the appointment of the imperial court, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go. Liu Xusheng said with regret.

It's just that he didn't say anything worried, and he also believes that Bai Ling won't ignore it.

"Does the little brother have any plans?" Bai Ling pondered for a long time, and roughly guessed some of the emperor's intentions, but he didn't dare to say that he could completely understand the emperor's heart.

No matter what the emperor's true purpose was, Bai Ling would never let his younger brother go.

"I have to trouble the second sister, help me find a master who is sleek, and a few subordinates who can be used with confidence, it is best to know some kung fu." Bai Xiaoshan sat slumped in his chair, not at all happy.

Although Bai Xiaoshan had never been to Ruyi County, those who heard about it knew that this county order was not easy to do, so they naturally asked for help at this time.

"I think the emperor just likes the second sister that you can make money, and wants me to be the county order is a pretense, and it is true to let the second sister help bring the wealth of Ruyi County. said that after three years, if I can do well, I will be transferred back to the capital and promoted to a five-grade cultivation, but it is equivalent to asking the second sister to donate an official to me.

If there are no achievements in three years, or if the emperor's political achievements are not enough, it is estimated that I will not be allowed to stay in office, and it is possible to throw me to a poor place for a few more years. Anyway, with the second sister here, if I don't do it, I can also drive the local economy, right? ”

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaoshan also saw through this, Bai Ling rubbed his hair with pity and said, "You can do whatever you want, the second sister will fully support you." I'm afraid that others will think the same way, and in the future, there will be obstacles in your career. ”

"Don't worry about this second sister, as long as I can really make political achievements, what do others think? As an official in the court, the satisfaction of the heavenly family is the last word. Anyway, if I leave, I won't take a piece of silver, but I won't let the second sister lose money. This kind of opportunity is not available to everyone, and when I become a big official in the future, let others envy me. ”

Bai Xiaoshan was very open-minded, and he snorted arrogantly, making the family laugh.

But Bai Ling understands that Bai Xiaoshan may be able to go smoothly in his career at the beginning.

But once Bai Ling married Shangguan Yu, with the royal jealousy of the Han Palace, he did not dare to give Bai Xiaoshan too high an official position, so that he would have too much authority.

Not everyone in the Bai family understands this, but Bai Ling understands it, and Bai Xiaoshan also understands it, but the sister and brother didn't say it, because they didn't want to put pressure on each other.

If one day the emperor wanted to use Bai Xiaoshan to deal with the Han Palace, Bai Ling would not ask Bai Xiaoshan to give up his future, but at that time, ......

"The second sister shouldn't be reluctant to give up the money, right?" Seeing Bai Ling running away, Bai Xiaoshan shook her arm vigorously, pretending to be sad and asked.

It was rare to see Bai Xiaoshan like this, Bai Ling smiled and said: "You are the county master, if you let the people under your jurisdiction know that you are still a coquettish boy, how can you serve the public?"

Your sister and I don't lack money the most, but I don't want to be wronged, this matter will be sent to Ruyi County to investigate, and then plan, I will never miss your future for the sake of silver, now rest assured? ”

"If the second sister wants to do something, you can take me." Bai Xing said on the side: "The younger brother is an official and can't do business. Ruyi County is now poor, but it also has a big benefit, and the price of buying a property is also low. When Ruyi County becomes rich in the future, I will not have to make a lot of money, and the money I have saved in the past few years should come in handy. ”

"Yes, they're all shrewd people, I'm afraid of you." Bai Ling raised his hand in surrender, turned to Second Uncle Liu and said, "Second Uncle might as well think about it, my cousin will be an official in the future, and he will have to pay for it with money."

In the jurisdiction of the cousin, if the second uncle is doing business, he will not be allowed to be involved. But do something at the bottom of the hill, as long as we don't make a big deal, it's okay. ”
