Hearing his father-in-law's explanation, Yang Yifu naturally continued to speak.

Fan Yaochen was not at ease, but said: "Although you are a staff officer, it does not prevent you from doing more and listening more, now Xiangzhou is moving, everything is in ruins, many things have to be reorganized, whether it is a displaced person or a disaster victim, you need to take care of it, you can't just raise your head to be an official, but you won't bow your head to do things." ”

"What you lack now is not only qualifications, but also merits, the few people I am looking for you are all my hands-on in front of me, ordinary affairs, you can't deal with them without them, as long as you stay in Gucheng County for a year or two, as long as you can get by, the DPRK will have another appointment."

He instructed: "Good life and work! ”

Yang Yifu was respectful on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart.

What can a county staff officer in the lower state do?

He took a few old staff members given by Fan Yaochen, and the old people in his own clan followed, and he went to a county, so he really didn't have to pay attention to it at all.

If there is anything that will worry him, it is just that after a year or two, when he returns to the land of Gyeonggi, his father-in-law will arrange a place for him.

He was born as a second-class jinshi, and it takes at least two turns to enter Beijing, no better than Gu Yanzhang......

Thinking of this, Yang Yifu felt a little hateful in his heart.

In the past, those who were among the best in Jixian County are now all among the top ones, and Gu Yanzhang and Zheng Shixiu, who are similar to him, are even more champions, and one is on the list.

And originally himself, he should also be the eye of the example!

I just hate to get married too early!

Wouldn't it be good if the palace was finished and then married to the Fan family? !

Compared with the ranking of the second class and these who are sent out to be staff officers, the dispatch of the first class is simply a world of difference.

Needless to say, Gu Yanzhang was sentenced to Shangzhou, although his father-in-law said that it was not a good place to go, and it was difficult to make meritorious contributions, but as long as he was the champion, he would be able to return to Beijing to report on his work after a year.

According to the usual practice, as long as the champion returns to Beijing to report on his work, he will be left in the capital by the Son of Heaven and appointed by another person, and with Gu Yanzhang's eloquence, even if he has not made any merits in this year, he just went to perfunctory, Yang Yifu still believes that once he meets the Son of Heaven alone, he will definitely be able to get his blue eyes.

If you give him a chance, he can do it! And even better!

It's a pity that God doesn't open his eyes!

In addition to Gu Yanzhang, there is also Zheng Shixiu.

I can't believe that he was actually hand-picked by the Son of Heaven into the secretary province!

This is a treatment that can't even be compared to the champion!

Yang Yifu was simply jealous and hateful.

Zheng Shixiu and Gu Yanzhang, one is irrigating the garden, the other is a copper smell, one is worse than the other, but the life of the partial official is better than the other!

If you get a champion for yourself, and you have your father-in-law behind you, why worry about a bad career?

I can't say it, I can enter the cabinet before I am forty!

While thinking about it, Yang Yifu's heart was like overturning the five-flavor jar, bitter, spicy and sour, and the pickling made him extremely uncomfortable.

I can't show it on the partial side yet......

Forget it, don't think too much, get through the past two years earlier, and talk to your wife during the period, tell her to be more conscious, and write more letters from the family, reminding your father-in-law that this son-in-law is still suffering from the disaster in Xiangzhou, don't forget!

He listened to Fan Yaochen's explanation respectfully, and went to say goodbye to his mother-in-law and brother-in-law, and then took his wife out with him.

Outside, a dozen carriages were already waiting in a line, and when the two of them got into the carriage, the procession began to move forward slowly.

***

From June to September, it was the peak period for the new science and technology jinshi to take office, not long after Yang Yifu left the capital, Gu Yanzhang also took Ji Qingling, three staff members and their families, and a girl, a total of only about 20 people, so he took office.

Rao was in a hurry, and when he arrived in Ganzhou City, it was already late October.

On the day of arrival, Gu and Ji were divided into two sides, Ji Qingling led the girl and the little girl to the post house to settle down, and Gu Yanzhang went straight to the state government with his staff.

Among the state officials, the governor of Ganzhou was nowhere to be seen, and only the old Ganzhou general judge was leading a group of officials to wait at the door.

As soon as he saw Gu Yanzhang, the general judge arched his hand and said with a smile: "Is it the champion Lang?" ”

And said: "I've heard of your literary name for a long time!" I am the eighth of the Xinjiake, and I am called Tang Fengxian. ”

Gu Yanzhang hurriedly returned the salute, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while and walked into the inner office.

Tang Fengxian had already prepared the big seal and various account books in the state, and as soon as Gu Yanzhang arrived, he took it out and was anxious to hand it over.

Gu Yanzhang didn't want to pick it up so quickly, he said with a smile: "I have just arrived, and I am a new official, and I have never been to a state or county, so I really don't know how powerful it is, and I have to correspond to it one by one, but you don't have to dislike it." ”

Tang Fengxian saw that he refused, but his smile seemed to be deeper, he nodded, and said: "It's time to be a good student, but it's getting late today, but I'm not in a hurry, why don't you pick up the wind and wash the dust first, I have already held a table of wind reception, and now the wine and food are ready, and I am waiting for you!" ”

As he spoke, he led the way in front, and sure enough, he entered the inner office.

After eating a table, the guests and hosts are really happy.

Tang Fengxian not only introduced Gu Yanzhang to the important officials in the state government one by one, but also explained to him in detail the strengths and weaknesses of everyone at the wine table.

In addition, he also specially mentioned: "I don't know if you have heard of Yanzhang, the origin of the current Ganzhou Zhizhou." ”

Gu Yanzhang put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "I only heard that the name is Shangmeng Xia Ling, and the people from the capital are the brothers-in-law of the three kings, but the rest don't know much." ”

The three kings he said in his mouth were the younger brother of the current saint Shangxingsan, Zhao Li, the king of Ji.

King Ji is a relative of the late Hanlin bachelor Meng Qi's family, Meng Qi had a lot of heirs before his death, but not many survived to grow into adults, and now, there are only two people left in that lineage, one is Princess Ji, and the other is Meng Ling, who is the governor of Ganzhou.

Tang Fengxian reminded: "Meng Zhizhou has passed the sixtieth year this year, he likes to be quiet, he doesn't like to toss, you are in the state government on weekdays, what is there to do is only your own decision, report to him every day, just do it, don't mess with him from time to time." ”

He added: "But he is very kind, so don't worry." ”

After eating a table until almost two watches, Gu Yanzhang returned to the post house with a full body of wine.

Ji Qingling had already ordered the kitchen to make a sobering soup, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly asked someone to bring it up, fed him to drink, and asked someone to send it to the three staff rooms.

Gu Yanzhang drank two bowls of sobering soup and another cup of strong tea, still looking drunk.

Ji Qingling had no choice, so he had to help him go to the inner room and give him a simple bath.

Fortunately, although he was drunk, he was not unable to exert any strength, but he reluctantly helped him in and out again.
