He said it was on the road, but Lin Xuezheng didn't speak until they got on the carriage, "It was a good thing that you didn't go yesterday afternoon, but now you just happened to give orders together."

Tang Que was confused by this, "What are you asking?"

"The position of county magistrate!" Lin Xuezheng said in a leisurely voice: "I thought about it carefully yesterday afternoon. When it comes to marriage, I can only guarantee that you can talk to Zhao Laohu. Zhao Laohu is a mature person and may not be willing to work hard for you, a niece whom you have never met. If you want to move him, there must be real benefits. Well, after you meet Zhao Laohu tomorrow morning, you might as well explain directly when you talk to him that as long as he can solve Erlongzhai before August, the county magistrate will ensure that he will be the county magistrate of the county afterwards."

In the Tang Dynasty, the county magistrates were the head of a county magistrate, followed by the county magistrate, and then the chief clerk in charge of civil affairs and the county magistrate in charge of military affairs. However, although this is the system, because Yunxi County is small and there are not many things, this vacancy has been kept since the county magistrates two previous terms retired. There are county magistrates above, and Yao Zhubu and Zhao Laohu, who are in charge of specific civil affairs, are also busy with it. After four or five years, it has become a habit, so that almost all the people in the county magistrates have forgotten that there is still such a vacant.

Although the Yao Zhuan, who was the first to be a county magistrate, was not known as a county magistrate, he was actually doing the work of a county magistrate. Over time, everyone got used to it.

However, although Zhubu Yao had the right to be equivalent to the deputy county magistrate in later generations, he did not occupy this position after all. By the way, he did not want this useless position, but instead set his goal directly on the top leader.

County Magistrate Zhang discussed with Lin Xuezheng for a whole afternoon, and it was clear that he had seized the omission of Yao Zhubu. He wanted to use this vacant position as the county magistrate to force Zhao Laohu to work hard.

Although the county magistrate is a legitimate second-in-command in a county, this position itself cannot attract Zhao Laohu. Its biggest advantage lies in its expectations for the future.

There were few mountains and lands in the east and west of Shannan. In the entire Tang Dynasty, Yunxi was a small county, so there were not many foreign officials who were willing to come here on their own. According to the practice of the decades of founding the country, they mostly adjusted themselves within the east of Shannan. However, they had already been transferred to the previous one, and there were really no suitable people who were sent here. It was in this context that Yao Zhubu, a foreign official, was determined to be promoted. In fact, if you change the place, such as Jiangnan East Road or Huainan Road, a county chief would definitely be a person with fame and fortune. Those who are like Yao Zhubu would not even think about it.

After the term of the county magistrate expires, if no foreign officials are airborne and dispatched to promote officials from the local area, the county magistrate is the well-deserved first person. This is a custom in the officialdom. If the situation is not really special, no one is willing to break this custom.

It is already a barely forced to transfer Zhang County Magistrate here. It may not be possible that the next term will be transferred from another place? The Zhang County Magistrate himself has a fame and fortune. He will move no matter what after the term is over. If this is considered, if he can become the county magistrate now, he will almost be able to choose the next county.

From now ranked fourth to the government, Zhao Laohu may not have any interest in the position of a county magistrate, but when this position is directly connected to the top-ranking county magistrate, if he is not moved, then the past few decades of officialdom will be in vain.

County Magistrate Zhang’s offer is indeed a long aftertaste, and Zhao Laohu is afraid it will be difficult for him to not be moved!

After Tang Que understood this, he sighed slightly: "Zhengbu Yao is also a slight insightful person. If he could tolerate it, wouldn't the next county magistrate be a natural thing? Why should he fight as hard as he is now?"

"His age is not allowed!" Lin Xuezheng replied with a word, "He is five years older than Zhao Laohu, and he is the same year as the horses in the city. He is already fifty-seven this year. When the term of the magistrate Zhang's term expires, he will be fifty-nine. This dynasty is required to resign at 60. If he wants to take over the county magistrate at the age of fifty-nine, he will want to take over the county magistrate at the age of fifty-nine? At that time, the state and Daoli agreed, and the Ministry of Personnel will not approve it after reporting it. It is not forgiving people at the age of no one, so Yao Zhuzhu worked so hard. If he wants to take the position in his life, either this year, next year at the latest, if he missed these two years, even if the magistrate Zhang left, he would not be his turn."

This is the same in later generations, and Tang Que naturally understood it as soon as he heard it.

After talking about Yao Zhubu's affairs, Lin Xuezheng asked again: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the boy from the Zhang family in the Nanjie Street in the county school?"

"Zhangjia, Nanjie? Are you talking about Zhang Xiangwen?" Tang Que didn't ask him how he knew. Lin Xue was the head of the county school, which was equivalent to being the principal of later generations. It was so easy for him to know about the students.

"Yeah, that's him. Tell me, what's the relationship between you two?"

"It's not bad," Tang Quidian nodded, "A few days ago, he had to take me to his Taoyuan to become a sworn brother. Now it's still a sworn brother."

"Okay, okay, okay," Lin Xuezheng laughed out loud and patted Tang Que's shoulder and said, "It seems that County Magistrate Zhang was right yesterday afternoon. You, Tang Cheng, are a great lucky star, just like Duke Lu, who founded this dynasty."

"Yeah? What?".

"I will host Zhang Wensheng at Sanhe Building tomorrow night. Then you will come with Zhang Xiangwen." Seeing that the carriage had arrived at the door of Lin Xuezheng's house, Lin Xuezheng smiled while lifting the curtain and adding: "Zhang Wensheng is the chief inspector of the county, that is, Zhang Xiangwen's third uncle. You should understand now."

After Lin Xuezheng finished speaking, he ordered the coachman to take Tang Cheng home and got out of the car.

I understand, I really understand it very much. I have to nod my head when I wiped out Erlongshan, but the one who really put in the effort was Zhang Wensheng, who was doing the specific matter. The move of County Magistrate Zhang clearly was to fight with both hands and take action together.

Seeing that Lin Xuezheng had arrived at the door of the house, Tang Que, who had opened the curtain of the car, rushed to ask: "Who is Duke Lu?"

"The surname of Duke Lu is Cheng Wei Zhijie." After Lin Xuezheng finished speaking, he smiled and said, "That is to say, Cheng Yaojin in the words of the bookmaker."

While Lin Xuezheng answered, the carriage carrying Tang Que was driving forward with the sound of the sound of...

……………………………………

That afternoon, Tang Que stayed at home with a rare experience and learned from last night's lesson. After he got up at noon, he started to complete the tasks assigned by the old monk.

Although it only had two hundred words, it took Tang Que almost two hours to complete it. On average, it took one minute to write a word. Moreover, his brain and mental strength were consumed. However, he would naturally give more rewards. Tang Que obviously felt that his understanding of Zhongshu was much faster than before during the whole process.

The woman and Lan Jie'er had never come in the whole afternoon. This situation was rare in the past. I don't know what they were busy with outside. Tang Que asked specifically during dinner, but the woman only smiled.

Because it was something the next morning, Tang Que slept earlier that night. He got up in the next morning and opened the window, but saw that the door of the inner courtyard, which was closed on weekdays, was rarely open. The woman's carriage was parked in the yard. The Gao family and the daughter and two newly bought little girls were busy loading something into the car.

After washing, Tang Que left the room and went to the carriage. He saw that there were many patterns of gift boxes inside. He opened a box with the words "Five Colors" and saw that there were five pieces of silk inside, and these five pieces of silk were exactly five colors. Some of the other boxes contained rice and flour, some of them contained wild game, and as for oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and even pepper, ginger, onion, garlic, etc., they were all the same for daily use at home.

"This is..." Tang Que asked, holding the girl who came over with a box.

"This is a letter gift when sending a letter to the intermarriage letter. The lady arranged it for a day yesterday." When she caught up with such a happy event, the girl also smiled, "Hey, the lady is dressing up in the room! Tsk tsk, it's so beautiful."
