After the cabinet meeting was over, the cabinet elders sent someone to pass the news to Li Chunfang, who was compiling the book, and when Li Chunfang heard the news, the brush in his hand suddenly did not hold it steady, and fell to the ground with a 'click'.

"It's... Are you looking for the wrong person, the chief examiner of the imperial examination in previous years was all from the Ministry of Rites? How can it be ...... this year" Li Chunfang looked anxious, and couldn't even speak.

"My lord, we are also acting on orders, and the cabinet has decided, and you will be the chief examiner!"

Li Chunfang saw that the matter was irreparable, and sighed helplessly: "I'm too long a young secretary, how did I become the chief examiner of the imperial examination?" ”

Just as Li Chunfang felt something in her heart, her inspiration exploded, and she was about to recite a poem, but she was interrupted by the next news from the visitor.

"Master Li, don't be too frustrated! Let me tell you secretly, your candidate for the chief examiner is appointed by His Majesty. The person who came to deliver the news to Li Chunfang saw that no one was paying attention around, and lowered his voice.

"What?" Li Chunfang was taken aback when she heard the news.

"Shhhh

The visitor was frightened by Li Chunfang's sudden increase in volume, and hurriedly looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying attention.

"Uh-oh."

"Is the news true?"

"It's true."

"In the coming day, I will be the east, please don't shirk."

"You're polite, Master Li, we still have official business, so we'll leave first."

"Walk slowly."

After the person who came to report the news left, the colleagues next to him surrounded him, and his eyes were full of schadenfreude: "Lord Li, what's wrong?" ”

I saw Li Chunfang's expression gloomy, and he was silent for a long time before he responded: "The cabinet has asked me to be the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination, and it has been decided." ”

"Alas, don't be too upset, what's wrong with being the chief examiner of the imperial examination? Those who are admitted are all "protégés"! Seeing that Li Chunfang was so depressed, the colleagues on the side couldn't help but comfort him.

"Well, I hope so! Colleagues, I will have to go to the dark room in a few days to think about the test questions for this year's imperial examination. ”

"Master Li, cherish!"

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang's Governor's Palace.

Since Hu Zongxian handed over the affairs of the entire Governor's Mansion to Xu Wei, the officials of the Governor's Mansion felt that this move was a little inappropriate at first, and they had some doubts about Xu Wei's ability, after all, Xu Wei had always been only Hu Zongxian's staff and had not been in contact with too many things related to government affairs.

But later, when everyone saw that Xu Wei not only did not make any mistakes in handling government affairs, but was even much more efficient than when Hu Zongxian was still there, these doubts disappeared completely.

Soon, the disaster relief funds and food allocated by the imperial court were in place, and Xu Wei completed the distribution with extremely efficient efficiency, which caused a burst of amazement among the officials of the Governor's Palace.

"This is the last batch of excerpts, you better rest a little longer, don't be so tired." The official Xu sent the excerpt to Xu Wei's mansion and opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Well, I'll pay attention, just put it there, and here's the fold that's been completed, take it." Hearing this, Xu Wei raised his head and spoke.

"Yes." After Xu finished speaking, he left with the pile of folds that Xu Wei had already dealt with.

Xu Wei was born in a big family that was almost in decline, the birth environment was extremely bad, when he was a child, his biological mother was kicked out of the house, and the family also pinned the hope of revival on him alone, he also lived up to the family's expectations, and was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twenty!

Just when he and his family thought that this was the beginning, they didn't expect this to be the peak, and after that, they failed to take the exam six times and failed once, but Xu Wei defected to Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, in the 39th year of Jiajing, and became his staff.

Hu Zongxian recognized Xu Wei's ability, and the two often talked about their family and country ambitions together, and Hu Zongxian introduced Xu Wei as a confidant.

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to be an official, to be able to do something practical for the people! For one term of office, for the benefit of one party. ”

This is Xu Wei's biggest feeling in the days when Hu Zongxian was away, and at the same time, his heart that had long been extinguished burned again, he wanted to wait for Hu Zongxian to come back, and then he was ready to participate in this year's township examination and pass the exam in one fell swoop!

At the same time, Xu Wei also secretly decided in his heart that this would be the last imperial examination in his life, and it was incumbent on Xu Wei to recast the glory of the family!

……

Zhejiang, Chun'an County.

Since the imperial court's disaster relief funds and disaster relief food have been distributed, there are many fewer hungry people on the streets, and the porridge shops on the streets are still open, but only a small amount is supplied every day, and sometimes some dust is mixed with the porridge to prevent some lazy people from taking advantage of the porridge of the government.

Gradually, there was a trace of popularity on the street, and some small vendors began to come out of their stalls, shouting and bargaining, and the sound of public security was also guaranteed.

Chun'an County, county government.

After the county government repairs were completed, Hai Rui moved his wife and the remaining property to the inner courtyard of the county government, which could also reduce some unnecessary expenses.

Due to the large number of objects, Hai Rui and his wife could not finish moving, and later had to hire a few porters who were moving goods on the dock to carry them together.

After moving everything to the county office, when Hai Rui gave them money, they refused to ask for it, but they kept saying: "The county magistrate sought justice for the people of Chun'an County, this is a life-saving grace!" How dare we ask for money? ”

After that, they wanted to make a gesture and leave, but in the end, Hai Rui threatened each other as the county magistrate to make them accept the money.

……

Today, Zhao Qing, who has been a doctor in his family for generations, was invited to the county government by Hai Rui, at first, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and later when he heard that the county lord came to him to prevent the disease, he was relieved.

"Come, Dr. Zhao, drink tea."

Zhao Qing didn't wait too long before Hai Rui appeared in front of him and spoke.

"Thank you for the tea!" Zhao Qing said that, and bowed to the ground.

"Get up, I came to you today to discuss with you about the prevention of the epidemic, now that the flood has passed, the epidemic will surely follow!"

"The county magistrate can be regarded as finding the right person, my family has been a doctor for generations, and I have unique insights on how to prevent and control epidemics." Seeing that the magistrate mentioned what he was good at, Zhao Qing was a little proud, and hurriedly spoke.

"Oh, please speak up." When Hai Rui heard this, he couldn't help but be interested in it.

"As the old saying goes, after a great plague there will be a great plague! In order to prevent the disease, the infected people should be separated from the healthy people, separated from the surrounding area with lime powder, and not allowed to meet in private, and secondly, the bodies of those who died because of the plague should be buried on the spot. ”

"Let the people not drink raw water, but only boiled water, supplemented with some healing herbs, and the number of deaths due to the epidemic can be greatly reduced."

"Well, that's great! According to Dr. Zhao's words. After listening to the explanation of the doctor Zhao Qing, Hai Rui felt quite feasible and exclaimed.

"Where, there are very few things that I can do as a doctor, far less than the feat of the county magistrate asking for the lives of the people of Chun'an County."

"As long as it can benefit the people, no matter how small it is, it is also a big thing! If it can't benefit the people, no matter how big it is, it's a small thing. ”
