Shen Jingcheng took the paperwork and swept it from beginning to end, raised his eyes to look at Lin Hu suspiciously, and asked, "Lord Lin, do we know how old I am?" Villain, I've just tied my hair now, is it too young to be a grain chief? And I don't know about those fish scale books or anything, what if the errand is messed up?"

"Ambiguous, Shen Xiaogongzi's words are serious." Lin Huhun waved his hand indifferently, and said unhurriedly, "Although Shen Xiaogongzi is young now, he can do things reliably, just like last year's locust plague and the resettlement of refugees, which one is not beautiful? Besides, Shen Xiaogongzi has opened a lot of land this year, right? Even according to the field you have now, this grain chief should also be you, as for the things you don't understand, you can come and ask me, or you can ask us the county magistrates, we must know everything and say everything, and do this well with Shen Xiaogongzi."

Shen Jingcheng's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he was very embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he still shook his head and politely refused: "Lord Lin, I still think this is inappropriate......

"What's wrong, it's very proper, come here." Lin Hu didn't allow him to refuse at all, and raised his voice to greet the little guy waiting outside the door: "Bring the box in."

As his words fell, the little guy immediately walked in with a wooden box, Lin Hu pointed at Shen Jingcheng and said to him, "Give it to our grain master."

Shen Jingcheng saw that the wooden box did not take it, but looked at Lin Hu again, with rejection in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Hu directly got up and took the box from the little servant's hand and stuffed it into Shen Jingcheng's arms, and said, "This is the fish scale book of the area you want to manage, and from now on, the taxes of these villages will be handed over to you and the various lieutenant chiefs. In addition, before the 20th, you have to go to the capital internal affairs office to get Kanhe, Lu Yin I have already opened it for you in the box, the time is a little tight, you go as soon as possible, I still have something to do and leave first."

After Lin Hu finished speaking, he took the little servant to leave, and Shen Jingcheng quickly got up and pulled him with the box: "No, Lord Lin, I really can't do it......."

"You haven't done it yet, how do you know you can't? Besides, isn't there still me and our county magistrate, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come to the county government to find us, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, stay and stay." Lin Hu said and pulled away his hand and hurried away, as if he didn't know how many times he had rehearsed.

"My lord, my lord......" Shen Jingcheng chased a few more steps, until Lin Hu's shadow was gone, then he stopped, the helplessness and anxiety on his face disappeared in an instant, his eyes were dark and dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gu Jin came out of the main house and saw him standing in the courtyard with a suitcase, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"

Hearing Gu Jin's voice, Shen Jingcheng immediately came back to his senses, asked her to wait first, went to the door and ordered Zhou Quan to find Jiang Zhengshu to come over, and then went back to the house and told her what Lin Hu told him.

"W-That's too child's play, isn't it? Today, I rushed to the capital before the 20th, where is the time?" Gu Jin was a little angry.

Although she didn't know how far away from the capital was here, the place she stayed in her previous life was so much closer to the capital than here, and it was thousands of miles away, how could she catch up?

"I guess there's something going on here, or it wouldn't be in such a hurry." Shen Jingcheng thought about it and said.

But now he didn't have time to inquire about what was going on, and with Lin Hu's attitude, it was estimated that there was no room for him to refuse, so he could only set off for the capital as soon as possible.

Originally, he planned to work hard to cultivate more fields first, and then go to the position of grain chief after two years when the capital was almost saved and the books were almost read, but he didn't want God to play such a joke on him.

But fortunately, although this errand came abruptly, it also saved him the trouble of fighting for it in the future, the only disadvantage is that now he is building a house and looking for a hired worker, and the family property is only gone. Moreover, he didn't know if there was any other conspiracy behind this errand, but there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, so let's take one step at a time.

Shen Jingcheng didn't hide his guesses at all, and talked to Gu Jin about the pros and cons, Gu Jin frowned slightly when he heard it, but he also knew that there could be no best of both worlds in the world, since Shen Jingcheng wanted to do it, then she supported it.

While the two were talking, Jiang Zhengshu also came, and after hearing the news that the two of them told him, he opened his mouth in shock, and then took a deep breath

In one breath, he said, "Since you have decided, you have to leave quickly, this place is far away from the mountains and rivers of the capital, and if you don't hurry up, you will be delayed."

"yes." Shen Jingcheng nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Jiang Zhengshu with a solemn face and said, "It's just that sir, Ah Jin and I are gone, and I have to ask you to take care of these things at home."

"That's fine." Jiang Zhengshu smiled, he had already regarded these two children as his own children after half a year of getting along, so he naturally wouldn't shirk this little thing, but ...... "Do you know how to get to the capital?"

"I don't know, I'll buy a map on the way and watch it." Shen Jingcheng took a deep breath, there are still a lot of things to prepare, not only fast but also light, and what to bring has to be carefully calculated.

"I have a map from here to Xingyang County, which I usually draw from memory, it may not be so accurate, but it should be about the same, you can get it later and use it first." After Jiang Zhengshu finished speaking, he thought about it and said, "I still have a few students who are staying in Beijing, but I don't know if they are still there, I will go back and write a few letters for you to take with you, and when the time comes, you can find who counts, and it is better to have someone to show you the way than nothing."

Shen Jingcheng didn't expect this surprise, and immediately gave Jiang Zhengshu a deep salute: "Student, thank you, sir."

"Hey, thanks for what." Jiang Zhengshu waved his hand, and said as he walked out, "Hurry up and think about what you need to bring with you on the road, I'll go back and write to you, and you can come and get it later."

"Hey." Shen Jingcheng promised to wait for Jiang Zhengshu to leave, and immediately began to discuss with Gu Jin what he needed to bring on the journey.

In the end, the two agreed to bring only a kettle, a change of clothes, enough silver and household registration guides, after all, the time is too urgent, they must travel lightly to get to the capital as quickly as possible, the only drawback is that the food on the road has to use silver, which costs a lot more than the usual rush, but this is also a helpless thing.

"Why don't I go, you'll be able to travel faster." After deciding what to bring, Gu Jin discussed with Shen Jingcheng.

"No, I'm not worried about you being home alone." Shen Jingcheng rejected her proposal without hesitation.

"How can it be alone? Isn't there Mr. Jiang, Ah Xiu, and Zhou Quan, Uncle Zhao ......?"

"That's not going to work, you have to come with me." Without waiting for Gu Jin to finish speaking, Shen Jingcheng interrupted him, his eyes full of determination.

No matter how important the matter of going to the capital is, it is not as important as her, and it is impossible for him to leave Gu Jin alone.

Gu Jin originally wanted to say something, but when he met his dark eyes, he had no words to refute, so he could only agree.

"Okay."

After everything was discussed, the two of them took out the road guide from the box brought by Lin Hu and put it away, and then took a general look at the regional villages he needed to manage on the fish scale book, and hid all these things and some account books in the secret room between the two granaries.

After that, Shen Jingcheng went to the courtyard next door to get the map and Jiang Zhengshu's letter, and Gu Jin told Gu Xiu about himself and asking Shen Jingcheng to go out, afraid that she would be afraid in the courtyard alone, and asked Zhou's family to temporarily move over to accompany Gu Xiu.

That night, the two of them had a rare early rest, and before dawn, the two had breakfast and embarked on the road to the capital in the white morning fog.
