In my spare time, I went to Chenyuluoyanlou to preach and teach with Lu Chuchu.
Life was going smoothly, and before I knew it, two months had passed.
On this day, Fang Yuan walked out of the Mohist Research Institute whistling, with a black crossbow in his hand.
Small Zhuge Liannu!
After three years of hard work by Fang Yuan and the Mohist Academy, the small Zhuge Liannu, which had been lost for many years, was finally restored.
It is flexible and lightweight, suitable for individual combat, and can fire ten arrows in a row. Even an ordinary person like Fang Yuan has a chance to kill an average expert.
"Your Majesty, a good thing, a great thing!"
In the distance, Zhang San came running in a hurry.
Yao Kaicheng followed behind, blushing with excitement as well.
"Why are you so nervous?"
Fang Yuan frowned and said dissatisfied.
This is the Mohist Research Institute, which belongs to the forbidden area.
Do not make loud noises around the forbidden area, otherwise it will interfere with the research inside.
"Official official, you will be promoted to governor!"
Zhang San said excitedly.
With trembling hands, he presented the document to Fang Yuan.
"Provincial Governor?!"
Fang Yuan couldn't help but be excited.
Although I have a bet with Li Daye, I don’t have much hope.
Unexpectedly, I was actually promoted to governor, which was a huge leap!
While talking, Fang Yuan stuffed the small Zhuge Liannu into Yao Kaicheng's arms and took away the document.
[After review by the Ministry of Officials, Fang Yuan of Wuling County has both talent and virtue, and outstanding political achievements. He will act as the governor of Liaozhou from now on, from the fifth rank, and will take office within ten days. The eighth day of the seventh month of the second year of Zhenguan.]
There are two big seals in the middle, one is the big seal of the official department, and the other is the big seal of the emperor.
"The governor is really the governor!"
Fang Yuan's breathing became rapid.
I looked at the two large seals in the document over and over again.
Yao Kaicheng and Zhang San on the side were also so excited that tears filled their eyes.
Only by understanding the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty can we understand the excitement of Fang Yuan and others.
Because those with official positions above the governor level were the real powerful people in the Tang Dynasty.
A county magistrate may remain a county magistrate for the rest of his life, but a governor will certainly not remain a governor for the rest of his life.
"Hey, acting governor?!"
After getting excited, Fang Yuan discovered the problem.
The document contains not the governor of Liaozhou, but the acting governor of Liaozhou.
"Don't worry, county magistrate. It's normal for a young man like you to act as governor."
"Although he is an acting governor, his power is completely the same as that of a governor. He can be promoted to a regular position in two or three years at most."
"And the advantage of being an agent is that you were originally employed for three to five years, but because of the agency, two or three years will be added to the original basis."
Zhang San explained from the side.
He still remembered that in order to stay in Wuling County, Fang Yuan used his connections to change the adjustment period from three years to five years.
Now that he was promoted to acting governor, it was more in line with Fang Yuan's wishes, and he was very happy for Fang Yuan.
"That's it."
Fang Yuan understood clearly and nodded heavily.
If the power doesn't make much difference, it doesn't matter.
I just didn’t expect that guy Li Daye to have such great energy, he is really the governor!
If I see him again next time, I will treat him well and take him around the ninth floor of the Mohist Academy... to the fourth floor.
"Your Majesty, do you want to reserve the venue?"
Yao Kaicheng asked excitedly.
It's a great thing to have a drink.
"There's no rush for now."
"Do you know where this Liaozhou is?"
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
After the excitement just now, he slowly calmed down.
We still don’t know where the Liaozhou in the document is, how many counties it governs, and how many people there are. How can we just celebrate like this?
Moreover, it is clearly written in the document that I will take office within ten days. I am pressed for time and I don’t know if I can even celebrate.
"Back to the county minister, Liaozhou is under the jurisdiction of Hedong Road and Xiazhou. It has jurisdiction over three counties, namely Liaoshan County, Yushe County, and Pingcheng County. They are all Zhong counties, with a population of more than 2,000 households in each county."
Yao Kaicheng calmed down his emotions and said seriously.
Obviously, Yao Kaicheng did a lot of homework before this.
Because after Fang Yuan is transferred, the magistrate of Wuling County will most likely fall on him.
When Fang Yuan was still the chief registrar, he was already the county magistrate of Wuling County, and his ability was not low.
But at that time, Fang Yuan was too powerful and won the trust of the former county magistrate. In the end, the post of county magistrate fell on Fang Yuan.
If five years had passed and he was about to have the highlight of his life, how could he not seize the opportunity?
"Is there any other information?"
"For example, how long does it take to get to Liaozhou? How are the customs and customs in Liaozhou?"
Fang Yuan asked.
He is used to fighting sure battles.
Now that it is confirmed that he will be transferred to Liaozhou as acting governor, let’s first get to know Liaozhou.
Once you arrive, you can take drastic measures and start to enjoy life again after reorganizing yourself.
"This... subordinates haven't understood that deeply yet."
Yao Kaicheng lowered his head and said sorry.
He only briefly understood the situation in various states and counties in the world, without going too in-depth.
After all, we are not sure where Fang Yuan will be transferred, and we don’t have enough energy to understand everything.
"Then let's go find out first and have a meeting at my home in the evening."
Fang Yuan ordered.
"Yes!"
Yao Kaicheng and Zhang San responded one after another.
Both of them thought about Fang Yuan's position and worked hard to do things.
......
Chang'an City, Duke Cai's Mansion.
"Dad, don't you value Fang Yuan very much?"
"How to transfer Fang Yuan to a place like Liaozhou?"
In the study, Du Miaoyan expressed her confusion to Du Ruhui.
Liaozhou was controlled by the Hedong family, and the situation was complicated. Several governors died mysteriously during their tenure.
The imperial court sent people to investigate many times, but no good results were obtained. The people who went there either died or found nothing.
"A twenty-four-year-old governor has to shoulder heavy responsibilities that ordinary people cannot bear."
"Dad is optimistic about him. He is not someone who died young. Liaozhou will undergo major changes because of his arrival."
Du Ruhui looked calm and said calmly.
The twenty-four-year-old governor was so shocking that as soon as his name was mentioned in the official department, he was opposed by the officials.
Even if Li Shimin and himself brought their words to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it would not be easy, and the opposition was still very strong.
In the end, it was Du Ruhui who went to the official department in person to get the official department to stop objecting, but he only acted as an agent for the Liaozhou governor.
"Dad actually thinks so highly of him?!"
Du Miaoyan found it difficult to understand this optimism.
In my memory, my father has never been so optimistic about a person.
Even if the current prince is benevolent, filial and pure, his father is not very optimistic about him.
"Hehehe...you will know later."
"Daughter, when Fang Yuan is transferred to Liaozhou, you will get to know him."
"At that time, you can go as the young master of the royal caravan. Dad has already said hello to His Majesty."
Du Ruhui chuckled.
There is strong self-confidence in the smile.
But only he himself knows what he is thinking.
"Okay, listen to dad."
Du Miaoyan smiled helplessly and nodded gently.
This smile makes the spacious and bright study pale in color.
......
Night.
Wuling County Fangfu.
Fang Yuan, Yao Kaicheng, and Zhang San gathered together.
The information found during the day made Fang Yuan's heart sink slightly.
No wonder being promoted to governor is not necessarily a good thing.
However, the documents have arrived, and Fang Yuan has no reason to refuse, and Liaozhou cannot block his way.
"Time is urgent, so I will not stay in Wuling County for too long and decide to leave in three days."
"At that time, the post of Wuling County Magistrate will be temporarily replaced by Yao Kaicheng, Zhang San will be resigned from the post of chief bookkeeper, and he will follow me to Liaozhou."
Fang Yuan arranged for personnel changes after leaving.
In the Tang Dynasty, the chief registrar did not join the post, and was appointed or dismissed within a sentence of the county magistrate.
Zhang San was a talent discovered by Fang Yuan before, so he was invited to take his place.
"This..."
Yao Kaicheng was extremely excited.
After all, my long-cherished wish finally came true.
However, Zhang San was able to follow Fang Yuan, which greatly reduced his happiness. For a moment, he actually envied Zhang San.
"Thank you, Lord County!"
"No, thank you, Lord Governor!"
Zhang San's mood happened to be the opposite.
When he heard that Fang Yuan asked Yao Kaicheng to be the acting county magistrate, he felt disappointed.
But when I heard that I could follow Fang Yuan, I was so excited that I almost jumped up.
I am just the chief registrar, and it is very reluctant to be promoted to the county magistrate. After all, not everyone is sponsored by noble people like Fang Yuan.
But following Fang Yuan is different. The future may not be as simple as being a county magistrate.
"Work hard, keep in touch, and don't be depressed when you are frustrated."
Fang Yuanyu patted Yao Kaicheng's shoulder seriously.
There are about 20,000 households in Wuling County with a population of 80,000, which is comparable to Zhongzhou. There must be a lot of people watching.
Three days later.
Fang Yuan organized his rituals and took the members of the Mohist Research Institute and everyone in his house to set off.
On this day, the streets in Wuling County were deserted. People walked out of their homes and watched Fang Yuan leave on both sides of the street.
During this period, someone cried loudly: Thinking that the people of Liaozhou will live a good life, I feel more uncomfortable than living a hard life.
