Chapter 86 Is Sha County good?
Xie Lingquan seemed to be doing his best for the children. If he refused directly, it would appear that Xie Wenwan was unkind.
Xie Wenwan didn't want to make the relationship too tense with this cheap dad, so she said.
"I'm very touched that my father has worked so hard for us brothers and sisters. I wonder what official position he wants to be?"
When Ms. Liu heard that this was a big deal, she hurriedly said: "Actually, the county magistrate of Sha County is very good. Your father has never been an official before. It is quite suitable to start as a county magistrate."
Xie Wenwan suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that dad wanted to replace uncle, but dad is gone, what should uncle do?"
Although that was what he meant, Xie Lingquan was still a little embarrassed to have his daughter say it so bluntly.
Mrs. Liu said: "Tell the prince, let your father go first this time, and your uncle will wait for the next time."
This tone is as casual as going to the vegetable market. Today I will go and you will go tomorrow.
Xie Wenjuan also said proudly: "Of course, my father is a serious father-in-law. If there is a good opportunity, I should naturally let him go first."
Xie Wenwan looked at Xie Wenjuan and praised: "You are a good daughter."
Xie Wenjuan raised her head: "You think everyone is like you, unfilial and ungrateful."
Xie Wenwan: "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. My daughter is a good daughter, but she is a bit stupid. If you let your father go to Sha County to be the magistrate, you are not helping him but harming him."
Xie Wenjuan: "Are you talking nonsense? Xie Wenwan, if you don't want to help, just say so and don't make excuses for yourself."
Xie Wenwan rolled her eyes at Xie Wenjuan and asked Xie Lingquan directly.
"Dad, if you want to be a county magistrate, do you know what a county magistrate should do?"
Xie Lingquan was stunned. It was only today that he had the idea of becoming a county magistrate. He had never thought about this issue. In fact, Xie Lingquan has never done anything in these years. He is not only a county magistrate, but also other things.
.
"What's so difficult about this? There are masters and county magistrates under the county magistrate... If your father doesn't know how to do it, they can help." Mrs. Liu said.
"Besides, with your father's intelligence, as long as the prince asks him to go to Sha County, he will be familiar with it immediately and will know what to do in a short time."
Seeing Mrs. Liu's confident face, Xie Wenwan admired her very much. It is true that the ignorant are fearless.
"What Madam Liu said makes sense, but does dad know where the last Shaxian County Magistrate is now?"
Xie Lingquan shook his head.
Xie Wenwan: "Tao Cheng, the previous magistrate of Shaxian County, had his whole family captured by the Waler people when he took office. When he came back, all his family members were killed, and he was the only one left."
Xie Lingquan was frightened, and Mrs. Liu turned pale with fright, but she didn't believe it.
"Who are you lying to? You wouldn't deliberately make up such a scary story to scare your father in order to prevent him from going there, right?"
Xie Wenwan: "I wouldn't dare to make up a story about a court official."
Taocheng, the previous magistrate of Shaxian County, was indeed captured by the Wale people. This happened three years ago when Wale was at war with Daqing. It was also because of this incident that Daqing decided to go to war with Wale. The war lasted for two years.
, ended with Valer's defeat.
Later, there was a coup within Vale. After the second prince ascended the throne, he sued for peace with Daqing, so he made the plan to open the market now.
Because Tao Cheng betrayed Daqing during his capture, the Daqing people lost at least 5,000 elite soldiers.
Later, in order to seek peace, the Wale people sent him back to Daqing, where he was executed on the spot.
Before the execution, he cried and complained that he was also a victim and that all his family members were dead.
But he still couldn't be spared, because his betrayal caused the death of so many soldiers in Daqing, and not killing him would not be enough to make the people angry.
Of course, these were not made public. After all, after Daqing officials were kidnapped by the Waler people, it was a bit embarrassing to betray Daqing.
Therefore, what was said to the outside world was that he was beheaded because he had shaken the morale of the army during the war. Only the top brass knew the truth.
As for why Xie Wenwan knew about it, Liu Wenxiu told him this, because the official department had already begun to contact Liu Wenxiu, and the true situation in Sha County would naturally be told to him.
"Dad is going to be the magistrate of Sha County. Are you ready to sacrifice your life at any time?" Xie Wenwan asked coldly.
Xie Wenquan broke out in a cold sweat. He was not willing to risk his life as a county magistrate.
Mrs. Liu still insisted: "Who are you trying to scare, Second Master? The battle is over now, it's very safe."
Xie Wenwan nodded: "Yes, the border is indeed peaceful now, and the security factor is much higher, but just in case, Taocheng will be captured again. After Taocheng was captured, he informed Valer of the situation in Shaxian County. I heard that anyone who goes to Shaxian County to do the medicine is signed by the county magistrate.
Under the state of life and death..."
Xie Lingquan's face looked a little pale: "What is the state of life and death?"
Xie Wenwan: "The situation of life and death is to hold on to the determination to die."
Ms. Liu was also frightened. They were signing life and death certificates so neatly. Where on earth were they going?
Seeing that Xie Lingquan and Liu were so frightened that they could not speak, Xie Wenwan smiled sarcastically, even though she had the courage to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
"Is this kid joking? I have been in the civil service department for many years, so why don't I know that foreign officials have to sign a life and death certificate?"
Following the sound, Liu Kuo walked in with a smile.
Just now, the Liu family had been eavesdropping next door. After hearing Xie Wenwan's few words, which rendered Xie Lingquan speechless, Liu Kuo couldn't help but stand up.
Mrs. Liu was delighted: "Yes, my father is a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Service. He knows these things best. If he doesn't know about them, then he must not have them."
"I think you just deliberately scared us, thinking that the second master would give up on his own initiative."
Xie Wenwan glanced at Lu Kuo coldly: "Isn't it normal for him to know? What rank is he? From the fifth rank?"
Liu Kuo was so embarrassed by Xie Wenwan's ridicule that he couldn't help but say.
"The fifth grade of my official position is the fifth grade."
Xie Wenwan held back her laughter and said, "I'm sorry, Zheng!... Lord Liu of the fifth rank."
When he mentioned the word "positive", he also emphasized the tone of his voice. The playful words made Liu Kuo blow his beard and stare in anger, but Xie Wenwan's next words almost made him burst out of anger.
"People, you have to be self-aware. Sha County is special. If it is like other places, does the Crown Prince need to pay so much attention? Therefore, Mr. Liu doesn't know if it is shameful. I can only say that he does not have the authority of a fifth-rank official."
Liu Kuo's face turned red. Not to mention that Xie Wenwan was right. Just because Sha County was special, their officials couldn't reach in.
Although the appointment of officials in Sha County comes from their official department, their official department only goes through a process. The real personnel arrangements are made by the Lu family, which is the Duke's office.
