In the study, after Tan Jiaoyu and Han Yan sat down as the guest of honor, they first said a few words about the situation of the Wenhui Dabi, and Han Yan went straight to the point.

"In a while, Lord Xianzun will return to Beijing to report on his work, I don't know what Lord Tan's plans are?" Han Yan asked with a smile.

Tan Jiaoyu didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "What can I do, as usual, temporarily take over the affairs of the county order, and wait patiently for the new county order to arrive!" ”

For him, this kind of thing is already familiar and easy to come by.

Han Yan saw that Sectarian Tan really didn't think much about it, so he leaned over and asked, "Doesn't Lord Tan want to be the lord of this county himself?" ”

Sectarian Tan was shocked when he heard this, stared at him and was silent for a long time, then sighed and said with a wry smile: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, of course I want to go further."

"However, you also know that although our Kangping County is only a small county seat, it has become an important border town because of its connection to Warat.

"Now that Warat is ambitious and eyeing the Central Plains, in a vain attempt to annex our Central Plains, under such circumstances, how can the imperial court rest assured that a local man who has not made any achievements will serve as the county commander?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in the position of a priest for so many years, and he has never been able to go further.

"Who said that Lord Tan didn't have any achievements?" Han Yan said with a smile, "Lord Tan is dedicated to running Confucianism in the county, and has cultivated generations of outstanding talents for my Great Zhou, isn't this the greatest contribution?" ”

When Tan Jiaoyu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be it!" Among the students of Confucianism in the county, only half of them are talented, and even fewer are lifted. Looking at Da Zhou, there are only a handful of county Confucianism with worse grades than this......"

Saying this, I feel that I have been an official for many years, and my political achievements are really dismal......

Tan Jiaoyu couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt.

Han Yan heard this, but he didn't think so.

"That's not how the accounts are calculated." Han Yan said with a smile, "Before Master Tan was appointed as the county Confucian teacher in Kangping County, there were no more than ten talents in the entire Kangping County, and it was even more rare to lift people, and even the Lingnan Miasma was no worse than here.

"But you see now, there are more than 20 Xiucai who have studied in the county Confucianism alone, and there are even six people, and some people have been admitted to the Jinshi ...... a few years ago."

Before Han Yan finished speaking, Sect Tan hurriedly corrected with a smile: "It's Tong Jinshi, Tong Jinshi." ”

Although he smiled a little awkwardly, his expression was no longer depressed.

He knew that reading could change his fate, and he did change his own fate by reading, so after taking up the post of county Confucian teacher, he has been conscientious and conscientious, helping more people like Mr. Tan helped him at the beginning.

Of course, it is undeniable that he also did this for his personal achievements.

However, there are thousands of ways to show off his political achievements, but he chose the hardest middle school, taught diligently, and used knowledge to change the fate of more people.

"What about the same jinshi?" Han Yan said with a smile, "With the same Jinshi, how many Jinshi are there in the entire Liaodong Mansion?" ”

Because Liaodong Mansion is located on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Wara, it has always admired martial arts and light literature, even if there are few wars in the border areas now, there are not many people who are dedicated to Xi Wen taking the road of imperial examinations.

Sectarian Tan nodded in agreement, as a county advisor, he couldn't be clearer about the cultural and educational situation in the entire Liaodong Mansion.

It can be seen that Tan has made outstanding contributions to the cultural and educational undertakings of Kangping County. In this way, he also said that he had not made achievements, Lord Tan was really modest. Han Yan smiled brightly, with a look of admiration.

After listening to it for a long time, Tan Jiaoyu finally figured out what to do, leaned over and asked Han Yan in a low voice, "Do you have any gossip, that's why you asked this question today?" ”

Han Yan has a great fellow brother, and he says it in Liaodong Mansion, could it be that there is any hint from Zhenguo Gong?

Thinking like this, Tan Jiaoyu's whole heart couldn't help but get excited.

He served as a county Confucian teacher in Kangping County for many years, and has not been able to move again, although he has accumulated a lot of contacts in the county through this, and is also quite prestigious, but in the end it is difficult to settle.

If he can take another step, then there will be no one to suppress him, and it will be easier for him to develop a cultural and educational career in Kangping County in the future.

Seeing that Sectarian Tan had guessed, Han Yan nodded with a smile and responded in a low voice: "When I got married, Grandpa Guo saw Lord Tan once, and he had a good impression.

"It just so happened that the county lord was about to return to Beijing to report on his work, and the post of Kangping county order was vacant, so I recommended Lord Tan to Grandpa Guo.

"Lord Tan has been an official in Kangping County for many years, with a high reputation and political achievements, and after careful consideration, Grandpa Guo told me to ask Lord Tan in advance.

"If Lord Tan has no objections, the grandfather of the country will send someone to contact him in person, and after confirming that it is correct, he will recommend it to the imperial court, and after the county lord resigns and returns to Beijing to report on his work, Lord Tan will succeed him as the county commander of Kangping."

Sectarian Tan was very excited when he heard this, his eyes that had always been calm and gentle were full of light at this time, and he was full of ambition, and it took him a long time to find his voice, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

Although what Han Yan said was that Zhen Guogong had a good impression of him, how could he not understand that even if Zhen Guogong had a good impression of him, if there was no sincere recommendation from a person like Han Yan who was deeply trusted and respected, how could Zhen Guogong, who was in a good situation, be happy with the change of a small county order.

Among them, I am afraid that Han Yan will say good things for himself in front of Zhen Guogong.

In the past, he thought that he was just helping a down-and-out young man, but he didn't expect that one day, this young man would bring him such a rich return.

"Lord Tan is polite." Han Yan smiled sincerely, "If it weren't for Lord Tan's selfless help at the beginning, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'm just repaying the selfless help I received from the adults at the beginning. ”

If Tan Jiaoyu hadn't looked at Mr. Tan's face and personally sent him a post to invite him to participate in the annual Wenhui competition in Kangping County, then he would not have walked from the small badger village to Kangping County so smoothly, blooming his brilliance, meeting more and more people, participating in more and more things, and finally establishing a lifelong friendship with his fellow senior brother Zhen Guogong, laying a solid foundation for Xiao Wangzhi's future return to Beijing.

Those who love love to return, and those who are blessed are blessed.

……

A few days later, Liu County, who packed his bags and was about to return to Beijing with his family to report on his work, was personally summoned by the Duke of Zhenguo.

After Liu Xianling was stunned, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, could it be that on the day Han Yan got married, the Duke of Zhenguo, who only had a one-sided relationship, admired him very much and deliberately wanted to promote him?

If this is the case, then returning to Beijing to report on his duties and waiting for him this time must be promoted!

Liu Xianling left with a heart of ecstasy.

A day later, he returned dejectedly.

Zhen Guogong did meet someone who was quite suitable when Han Yan got married, but that person was not him, but Tan Jiaoyu.

Zhen Guogong summoned him this time, and asked about the situation of Tan Jiaoyu, to see if he could be qualified for the post of Kangping County Commander.

Alas, rejoicing in vain......
