Chapter 7: Heading to Daimyo Prefecture
"To Han Mo, this is the appointment probationary letter of the Ministry of Officials, the matter of your appointment to Daimyo County as a county commander has been decided, but you still need to try it for a while. Once you get there, you can just follow the rules. After the election was over, a minister handed Han Mo two paper trial books and said.
"Daimyo?"
Hearing these three words, Han Mo was stunned, and his talent of "proficient in ancient and modern" told him that Daming County belonged to Handan City, Hebei Province, although it was relatively prosperous in the Tang and Song dynasties, but since the Qing Dynasty, it has gradually fallen into a small county town, and it is also very poor.
"What, don't want to?" The officials of the Ministry seemed to see the dissatisfaction in Han Mo's eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"No, the grass people are just curious, why did they choose Daimyo County for me?"
"Because it's above... Because the Daimyo Prefecture prefectural order is temporarily vacant. The official seemed to have realized that he had almost said something wrong just now, and hurriedly frowned and urged: "Hurry up and take it away." ”
Hearing this, Han Mo didn't dare to ask more, as long as he could become a county commander, his talent would have a chance to fight, as for which county it was, it didn't matter.
So he hurriedly took over the letter of appointment from the officials of the ministry.
"Alright, you can go to work."
After Han Mo thanked him repeatedly, he took Ye Qingming out of the ministry and walked outside.
Out of the official department, his wife Ye Qingming, who was standing at the door, took Han Mo's hand and asked, "Xianggong, what are the people inside talking to you about for so long just now?" ”
"The matter of my appointment to the local area has been decided."
"Great! Or is it still in Wuchang County? ”
"No, it's going to Daimyo Prefecture."
"Daimyo? Is it the poorest county in Hebei Province? Ye Qingming asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"After you go, will you go directly to the county magistrate?"
"Sort of, now the new county order of Daimyo County has not yet been determined, so I will take over for a while for the time being." Han Mo replied truthfully.
"Xianggong, you have become a county magistrate, so haven't I become a county magistrate? Hee-hee. After Ye Qingming listened, he took Han Mo's hand and laughed.
Hearing Ye Qingming's words, Han Mo couldn't help but stroke his forehead.
Han Mo glanced back at the Imperial Palace City behind him, his eyes were dark, and he muttered in his heart: "I must take back the river that belongs to our Han family." ”
……
After Han Mo and Ye Qingming got into the carriage, they drove in the direction of Daming County.
Kitakamikyo is more than 900 miles away from Daimyo Prefecture, and the average speed of horse-drawn carriages in ancient times was 50 to 70 miles per hour. Finally, after two or three days of two or three days, I rushed to Daimyo Prefecture.
Daimyo Prefecture was more dilapidated than he had originally thought, with many shops lining the streets, but few shops were open for business, and the streets looked dirty.
Since it was getting late, Han Mo did not plan to report to the yamen today, but found an inn on the street.
After searching for a long time, the two found an inn that looked a little more like.
"Two guest officers, do you need food or accommodation?" Xiao Er stepped forward enthusiastically and asked.
"Prepare a normal room for us, and then prepare a table of meals." Han Mo touched his stomach and responded.
"Do you want two guest rooms or one room?" Xiao Er was not sure about the relationship between the two, and asked cautiously.
"We're husband and wife, so of course we want a room." Ye Qingming blinked his beautiful eyes and said impatiently.
"Don't, don't!" Han Mo hurriedly waved his hand, "I still want two." ”
Thinking back to the wedding night, Han Mo's body couldn't help but be scared.
"Two rooms? Why two? Too much money to spend nowhere? Ye Qingming said angrily.
"I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Guest officer, otherwise, the two of you can make a decision after discussing it." Xiao Eryi watched the couple have an argument, and was a little embarrassed.
"No need to negotiate, just one!" Ye Qingming's attitude instantly hardened, and he said word by word.
"Okay, okay..."
Seeing this, Han Mo knew that he couldn't resist her, so he nodded helplessly and agreed.
...
Go north to Beijing, the Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
"Master, is it really good to let the fourth elder brother go to Daimyo County to be the county magistrate? The slave heard that this county is not rich, and it is quite troublesome to govern. Li Wei, who was standing in front of the imperial couch, lowered his head and said worriedly to Yongzheng.
"Dog, how did you get to this position? Didn't you climb out of the poor county step by step? The more poor the county, the more he can kill his sharpness and exercise his ability. Yongzheng took a sip of the tea on the table and said sharply.
"What the master said is that the dog is not well considered." After Li Wei heard this, he nodded hurriedly.
"Okay dog, I ask you, when Han Mo's kid went to the Ministry of Officials to draw lots today, did he have any clues?" Yongzheng suddenly asked about Han Mo's participation in the election.
"If you go back to the master, you can rest assured that the people in the ministry have been arranged by the slaves. The people from the Ministry also wrote back and said that the fourth brother was not suspicious at all. Li Wei replied truthfully.
"Okay, that's fine, it's best for our master and servant to know about this matter, understand?" Yongzheng's eyes suddenly darkened, and his eyes were full of murderous aura.
"Master, if you put ten thousand hearts, the slave will never leak secrets." Li Wei patted his chest and reassured.
"By the way, you must send someone to secretly protect Han Mo's safety, now that Han Mo has just arrived in Daimyo County as a county magistrate, with his enthusiasm, he may do something stupid." Yongzheng was immediately worried about returning to Wuchang County that day, and Han Mo kept shouting about the rebellion.
"Master, are you afraid that the fourth elder brother will do something rebellious?"
"Yes, I just casually promised him that day, if he really took it seriously when he fell, it would be troublesome."
"Master, what you said is that the slave will find someone to continue to monitor the fourth elder brother, but he will not let him have any accidents."
Li Wei patted his chest again and reassured.
"Okay, I know, it's so late, you can go back and rest first." Yongzheng waved his hand and signaled that Li Wei could leave.
After Li Wei left, Yongzheng's cough in his throat and eyes all erupted, and a piece of blood coughed out of his handkerchief.
"Alas, my time is running out, Mo'er, you must carry this Qing River in the future."
