Chapter 167 167 The new king's book

The road was bumpy and everyone was very tired. An Chuxia and the others didn't have long chatting, so they asked Liu Xiang to take Bai Yunduo to the cleaned room to rest.

An Zixi and Zuo Wang accompanied An Jinchen to his room.

There were only two people left in the hall. No one spoke for a while, and only heard the crackling sound of charcoal fires burning in the stove.

The wind outside was raised and hung on the door. The coarse cloth was filled with a door curtain made of weeds, and a hint of chill blew in through the gap.

Wang Libin held the warm teacup, and waves of warmth came from the palm of his hand to his body.

"Have you ever thought about upgrading to another level?"

"Click" the sound of the tea lid falling on the cup, Wang Libin looked at An Chuxia in surprise, "Junior sister, what did you say?"

Wang Libin simply felt that his personality was not suitable for being a teacher, so he never went to the Ministry of Personnel to ask for errands. However, he has been studying since childhood and he is not good at doing other things.

He has been in the capital for a long time. With his background as a Jinshi, he has no tough background, so it is difficult to find a better job than a teacher.

Sometimes, it is worse than a juren who is not as good as a jinshi and a juren. Even if you want to start with an eighth-ninth-rank county magistrate and a chief clerk.

When you are the county magistrate who is in charge of the position of the court, you are still afraid that you will easily replace him, so you would rather promote a person from a juren.

He would not accept the same title as him and would do such a position as Jinshi.

This is also the reason why most county magistrates and chief clerks in county government offices are all juren.

No matter how outstanding they do, it is difficult for them to become county magistrates because of their lack of background.

When Wang Libin was almost at the time of being disheartened when he received a letter from An Chuxia, he knew in his heart that it was his junior sister taking care of him.

Mo Ziluo and Chen Han also said that he could help his junior sister when he came, and the brothers and sisters decided to come here after discussing.

Unexpectedly, the junior sister said something that surprised him again at this time.

Wang Libin, a senior brother and sister who had been with a few years, knew that An Chuxia was not a lie, so he told me: "What does junior sister mean? Is the senior brother not understanding?"

An Chuxia saw that Wang Libin had no face, because she heard that she could be promoted to the next level of official position, and she felt more happy that she was more in agreement with her senior brother's character.

So he said: "A while ago, the county magistrate in the county government office was taken to Jizhou City for committing an accident and beheaded.

Isn’t the position of the county magistrate now empty? If my senior brother is interested, I, the county magistrate, still have the right to report it to you to promote it.”

"No!" Wang Libin frowned slightly but.

"Senior brother knows that the junior sister is for my own good, but have you ever thought that the county magistrate was executed after not long after you came here.

I came here as the chief clerk through the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel. Even if others know that we are fellow townsmen, others can't say anything.

But if I take over as the county magistrate now and you report to the promotion, it will easily make people say that you are dissidents and nepotism."

An Chuxia suddenly realized that she was just a pity for her senior brother. As a fellow Jinshi, she could be the county magistrate of a small county town.

However, the students they got admitted from remote places were not paid enough money and had no background.

Even if they go to some government offices and do some small stories of eight or nine ranks, it is not their turn.

An Chuxia suddenly smiled, "I'm too anxious."

How could Wang Libin not know the junior sister’s intention? Their brothers and sisters have a good relationship. When they came, Mo Ziluo and Chen Han even told Wan to take good care of their junior sister.

If he really dragged his junior sister down because of his own, he would not have the face to go back to see the other senior brothers.

The brother and sister no longer discuss this topic.

Wang Libin talked about the seeds An Jinchen brought along the way, like a treasure.

Since Wang Libin has come here to be the chief clerk, he will sooner or later know the use of these seeds.

So she sent her a letter to ask An Jinchen to bring the high-yield corn seeds to the caravan. An Chuxia didn't expect her brother to send the seeds in person.

“It’s really so productive?

If so much food can be collected per acre of land, it would be a major event that benefits the country and the people. Reporting to the court at that time will definitely be a great achievement."

"We will know whether it can be high-yield or not next year, and we will plant it."

It has not been planted in the north on a large scale yet. What An Chuxia can be sure of is that corn is definitely more productive than other grains. As for how high it is, she really can't guarantee it.

The brother and sister chatted for a while. What happened to the teacher Gu Tongsheng's family, An Chuxia knew that everything was fine.

Seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Wang Libin went to the county government to report. He was carrying the appointment document issued by the Ministry of Personnel. No one knew that he was An Chuxia's senior brother.

The two of them were not called brothers and sisters in the yamen, and Wang Libin would also salute An Chuxia and call him Master.

On the surface, An Chuxia would not take special care of Wang Libin, but under her control, there were much less intrigue in the yamen, at least on the surface.

Wang Libin took over his own affairs smoothly, and An Chuxia also asked him to take over what the county magistrate had to do.

Wang Libin did not refuse either. He knew that there was no county magistrate in the yamen now, so if he didn't help with these things, he would have to work hard on the junior sister.

On the one hand, he came here to make a future for himself, and on the other hand, he really wanted to help his junior sister so that she, the county magistrate, could do more smoothly.

When the stove was still cold when entering the lobby where the yamen was doing business in the twelfth lunar month, An Chuxia wrapped in a thick fur coat, but still felt that her legs were frozen stiff.

Wang Libin, who was in the same office lobby with her, brought a fire barn from somewhere and placed it on her legs under the desk in her office.

An Chuxia raised her head and said to Wang Libin: "Master Wang, you can take the official business here, sit here and work!

The desk is so big, sitting together to work does not prevent it.”

He said to Koe, who had been promoted to a master, "You come here too, sit here!

Wait for a while, Zhu Ban head will come back on patrol. It’s so cold that it’s nothing to do, so go back early.”

Koe smiled intimately, moved the chair to the brazier to keep warm, took out a handful of dried fruit from the cloth bag he brought and placed it on the stove.

After a while, a burst of fragrance came over.

Koe took the roasted fruit with a thumb and placed it on the table, saying, "Take it, sir!"

An Chuxia picked up a dried fruit that was burned black and peeled it. There were white kernels inside. It tasted like a chestnut fragrance in her mouth.

“It’s delicious!”

Wang Libin also put down the brush in his hand, broke apart and started eating.

In winter, because the weather is cold in the north, every family stays at home to keep warm. In fact, there are not many things in the yamen.

But even if you don’t have much trouble, An Chuxia still comes to the yamen every day, just like when you go to work in your previous life. You can’t get off work early or not come because you don’t have much trouble today.

If her leader, she would not come if she had nothing to do, then the other officials in the yamen would follow suit, and the county government that originally performed their own duties would gradually become loose.

When something really needs to be done, it will lead to the inability to find someone.
