Li Jing frowned: "Is it related to me? Please let Mr. Sun speak clearly."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Master Sun arrived here early in the morning. I wonder if you have had breakfast. Why don't you sit down and drink some tea, eat something and then chat slowly?"

"Haha, Mr. Gao is so polite, then the subordinates will be troubled a lot." Sun Yuanwailang smiled brightly and thought to himself, look at Gao Changqing, he is very young but he is very good at conducting himself, while Li Jing, who is only several decades old, is actually

He is not as smart as others, so it is no wonder that he has been on the bench for more than ten years. However, this guy must have stepped on shit recently, and his fortune has turned around.

The three of them sat down at the table and asked the shopkeeper to serve tea and some breakfast again. Sun Yuanwailang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then he took out a document from his sleeve and said: "This time, the official

I came to see Mr. Gao specially to deliver the appointment documents to you."

Gao Bufan said in astonishment: "Didn't my appointment document be completed yesterday? This is such an appointment document."

Sun Yuanwailang chuckled and said: "It's Mr. Li's appointment document. It was finally completed yesterday. Since the lower official didn't know where Mr. Li lived, he had to come to see Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao is Mr. Li's sworn brother. He must know.

Mr. Li’s residence, I didn’t expect Mr. Li himself to be here, so it saves trouble.”

Li Jing was shocked and looked at Gao Bufan with doubts. Seeing that the latter also had a confused look on his face, he became even more puzzled. Gao Bufan's heart sank slightly. Could it be that Hu Sizheng had killed him first and acted later?

Brother Li Jing was relieved and asked for the official appointment document that he had been holding back?

"I see, thank you for your help, Mr. Sun." Gao Bufan thanked him, took the official document from Yuan Wailang, opened it, and found that it was indeed true. It was Li Jing's appointment document, and it had been stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. All he had to do was take it

With this document, Li Jing could take office, but the position on the document was a bit different, from Mayi County Magistrate to Shanggu County Magistrate.

Gao Bufan handed the paperwork to Li Jing and said with a smile: "Congratulations, second brother, for being promoted to the post of County Magistrate of Shanggu County."

"Shanggu County Magistrate? Isn't it Mayi County Magistrate?" Li Jing took a look at the document and found that it was indeed Shanggu County Magistrate written on it. He couldn't help frowning and looking at Sun Yuanwailang.

Gao Bufan raised his hands and asked, "Master Sun, what's the explanation for this?"

Sun Yuanwailang coughed slightly and said: "There has been some adjustment from above. Mr. Li is now the magistrate of Shanggu County."

Although they are both county magistrates, Mayi belongs to Shangjun. The county magistrate's rank is the third rank, and Tongshou's rank is the fourth. The Jun Cheng who is an assistant officer also has the fifth rank, and Shanggu County is a lower county, so the rank of the county magistrate is also one level lower.

, only the sixth grade.

Gao Bufan frowned and said displeasedly: "Who made this adjustment? Mr. Wei, the Minister of Staff?"

Mr. Sun coughed slightly and said, "Master Gao, please don't make blind guesses. This is a normal personnel adjustment. If Mr. Li has any objections, you can continue to wait for vacancies in the Ministry of Personnel."

After all, Li Jing had more official experience than Gao Bufan. He knew that his position as Mayi County Magistrate had been undecided for a long time and must have been occupied by someone else. As the saying goes, every carrot is a pitfall, so now he can only transfer himself to Shanggu County as County Magistrate.

"I have no objections. I would like to thank Mr. Sun." Li Jing stood up, clasped his fists in a salute, collected the documents and put them in his arms.

Sun Yuanwailang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, Li Jing understood the situation and did not make a fuss. He smiled and said, "Master Li, you are too polite. Congratulations to Master Li for your success and your great success."

Since Li Jing has no objections, Gao Bufan naturally has no objections either. They are all county magistrates anyway. There is nothing to argue about if they are only one and a half grades below. Moreover, the official position in the Sui Dynasty only lasts for a few years. Everything will be overthrown and restarted.

With the talent of the second brother, there is no need to worry about not being able to shine.

Mr. Sun sat for a while, ate some refreshments and then stood up to leave. Gao Bufan and Li Jing sent him out of the inn and asked tentatively: "Master Sun, my second brother's appointment document has been pending, why did it suddenly become

?”

Sun Yuanwailang did Tai Chi and said: "There has to be a process. It needs to be reviewed and discussed above. Some people are faster and some are later. It's normal."

Gao Bufan paused for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. At this moment, Sun Yuanwailang rolled his eyes and whispered: "It turns out that Mr. Gao needs to be appreciated by the King of Yue. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Haha, Mr. Gao is really hiding his secrets, and his future life will be terrifying!

"

Gao Bufan was stunned for a moment, King Yang Tong of Yue? When did he appreciate me? What's more, isn't King Zhao Yang Tong only nine years old? What can he appreciate me? Does he appreciate me even more than he does?

Gao Bufan looked confused, while Sun Yuanwailang kept his expression secretive. His expression seemed to say, you are really good at pretending, keep pretending!

Sun Yuanwailang got on the carriage and left. Li Jing asked in a low voice in confusion: "Third brother, when did you know the King of Yue?"

Gao Bufan shrugged and said, "Second brother, if I say that I don't even know what the King of Yue looks like, would you believe it?"

Li Jing's frown deepened, but he still nodded and said: "I believe that Third Brother will not lie to Brother Yu, and there is no need."

Gao Bufan was confused now, but in any case, as long as it was not Hu Sizheng's greeting, then everything would be easy. He smiled and said: "Never mind it, anyway, the second brother's appointment documents have been obtained, and it is worth celebrating.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Second brother will go back and call his sister-in-law. How about we find a big restaurant to celebrate?"

A smile appeared on Li Jing's face, and he was very excited. He had been practicing for many years as a driver in the driving department, but he couldn't put his skills to use, let alone feel aggrieved. Now he can finally put them to use.

Fist and kick.

Although Shanggu County is just a lower county and not as prosperous as Mayi County, Shanggu County is right next to Zhuo County and borders the Turks. Moreover, Shanggu County has high mountains and dense forests. There are countless bandits entrenched in the Taihang Mountains. It is a perfect place to show off your skills and make meritorious deeds.

There are many opportunities, unlike the driving department member Wailang, who does nothing all day long, and can't even think about making meritorious deeds.

When Li Jing thought of this, his heart swelled. He had to say that his third brother was really his noble man. With this, he had obtained the appointment document that had been delayed for half a year. Although there were slight discrepancies, it was very important to him.

It didn't matter to him. On the contrary, he felt that Shanggu County was more suitable for him.

It is worth mentioning here that although the county magistrate is only the assistant officer of the county governor, he is the commander of the soldiers and holds the military power. On the contrary, the county governor does not command the soldiers and only manages politics. This is also a way for local officials to check and balance each other.

Shangjun also has the post of Tongshou. Although the official rank is under the county guard, he controls the troops and horses of one or several counties. For example, Zhang Xutuo is the Tongshou of Qijun and has great power.

"It's too expensive to go to a restaurant to eat and drink. It's better to go to Brother Yu's house. Your sister-in-law's craftsmanship is not bad. Buy some ingredients and cook them yourself. It's safe and saves money." Li Jing has been poor for so many years, and he has become very frugal.

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "That's fine, but the elder brother doesn't mind if the younger brother brings a few more people, right?"

Li Jing smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. The third brother's friends are the second brother's friends, so there is a reason why they are not welcome."

"In that case, let's change it to tomorrow. I'll ask a few more friends to go together so that I can liven things up for you, second brother." Gao Bufan said with a smile.

Li Jing was in a good mood and full of energy. He nodded and said: "That's perfect. We just got excited about chatting. Let's continue chatting and have a drink tomorrow to celebrate."

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "No more chatting. Second brother should go home quickly and tell his sister-in-law the good news, and make her happy."

When Li Jing thought of his wife Hongfu Nu, he couldn't help but feel tender in his heart. He felt distressed and ashamed. She had really suffered these years, so he nodded and said, "Brother Yu, take your leave now and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Li Jing left happily. Gao Bufan stretched himself and was in an inexplicably good mood. He was just confused because according to Sun Yuanwailang, it was the Yue King Zhao Tong who had spoken, and the appointment document for his second brother Li Jing was successfully issued.

What's the reason for this? I don't know this little kid Zhao Tong at all, and I guess this little kid doesn't have time to talk to me.

Come on, never mind it, it’s not just Yang Xuangan’s path, it’s really nerve-wracking to think about it!
Chapter completed!
