Chapter 2 Wanling County

Early the next morning, before Li Changxian had finished his breakfast, Li Zhu hurried over and said, "Master, the second master has asked you to be appointed as a county magistrate. I guess the Ministry of Civil Affairs will send someone to inform you today."

Li Zhu was indeed the inquisitor in the courtyard. As long as everything happened in Li's house, big or small, he would describe it in detail.

It seems that the second uncle was very helpful and applied for the position of county magistrate, which already surprised Li Changxian.

Uncle-nephew relationship? High family expectations?

How could I get a seventh-grade official position when I was just a supervisor? How could this make Jinshi and others embarrassed?

"Go out and find out again, where to become a county magistrate?" Li Changxian thought deeply and asked Li Zhu.

In the afternoon, before Li Zhu came to inform him, someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs came and informed Li Changxian that he would leave Beijing and take up a post in Wanling County within one month.

After the officials from the Ministry of Personnel left, Li Changxian felt unnatural all afternoon. He didn't know why. Thinking about the officials who came to inform him, they looked very strange to him.

But it didn't affect the fact that many people from the Li family came to congratulate him. Li Changxian had no intention of taking care of it, so he had to send Li Zhu to deal with the crowds of people who came to congratulate him.

There was no map of Wanling County in ancient times, and Li Changxian didn't know where it was. It would be great if he had a mobile phone to look it up.

In the evening, when the second uncle came back from the court, the old man and the second uncle called him over.

"The family has done their best for you and arranged the official position of seventh-grade county magistrate for you. This is also your luck! Don't live up to the family's high expectations for you!" The old man looked satisfied and happy, and he agreed with his second uncle's statement.

High hopes, indeed high hopes!

What Li Changxian is thinking about now is where is Wanling County? In the past ten years, the Jin Dynasty has been expanding, reaching Annan in the south, the Persian Gulf in the west, and Congling in the north. This has exceeded the national territory of the original world during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Already.

"Wanling County is a large county in the Lingnan area, close to Lingnan Prefecture and south to the Shibo area of ​​Annan. I heard that the local area is evergreen all year round and the crops are ripe three times a year." The second uncle told Li Changxian that this was what he saw in the official document.

The information about Wanling County has arrived.

Li Changxian was still confused. He really couldn't imagine that good things would happen to him! He couldn't imagine that his second uncle would be so kind and seek a good official position for himself.

"Wanling County is the southernmost county of Lingnan Prefecture. Although it is close to Lingnan Prefecture, it is separated by two large mountains and the straight line is less than a hundred miles. However, the mountain road from Lingnan Prefecture to Wanling County is rugged and there is no way to go.

It will take two to three days to go!" Li Zhu hurriedly dissuaded him and said: "Young master, you must not go. It is said that there is miasma and poison there, and people will most likely not be able to come back. In those days, the ancient prince took three

An army of 100,000 troops captured Lingnan Prefecture, and more than 200,000 people were lost near Wanling County alone. The atmosphere here is fierce and barbaric!"

Li Changxian was speechless. According to this statement, in ancient times Wanling County was still in the barbaric growth stage and had not been developed.

Li Changxian is not afraid of miasma poisons. He just needs to bring the necessary medicine and pay more attention to it.

What he couldn't figure out was how this official position fell on him, and it was a seventh-grade official position.

Li Changxian was married and was assigned an official position. The old man was also very happy and immediately lifted the ban on Li Changxian and allowed Li Changxian to go out.

At noon, Li Changxian took Li Zhu to drink tea in Yingchun Tower, feeling the atmosphere of the ancient teahouse while listening to the information coming from all around.

"I heard that a big fool was selected and took a job in Wanling County! Don't you think about where to go? At that time, the emperor and his subordinates aimed to select the Kyoto area. Within three years, ten Jinshi were selected. It is said that eight died in the local area.

, one returned to Beijing injured and is still disabled at home."

"Yes, there is also a nephew of the Minister of War who was poisoned locally. I heard that he is dying now. The sister-in-law of the Minister of War comes to the Minister's house every day to cause trouble."

"No, the emperor issued an order to select again a few days ago. Not to mention the candidates for Jinshi, even the candidates did not dare to show their faces. Some people simply pretended to be crazy, some used illness to escape, and one of the selected ones committed suicide.

In the end, there was no other way. The emperor had no choice but to issue a decree saying that people should sign up voluntarily, and as long as they went, they would be given a seventh-grade official position. Only then did people sign up."

Li Changhao wanted to stand up several times and say that I was the fool. But he calmed down as he figured out what was going on.

He didn't go anywhere, and he didn't expect his second uncle to find a good place to work. Originally, he was destined to be a minor official, but he got a seventh-rank official position. The seventh-rank official position may have been the biggest official position he had ever received in his life.

Reviving your own life is already your greatest gain, so don't ask for more.

Afterwards, Li Changxian took Li Zhu around the capital and stopped what Li Zhu wanted to say several times. I was just here to hang out today, so why bother thinking so much?

The costumes of the Jin Dynasty are what Li Changxian complained about the most. They had wide-sleeved shirts and robes, leather belts and fish charms. In his original life, Li Changxian often wore casual clothes and looked smart and smart, but now he feels very uncomfortable. He just wears them.

She wears a short-sleeved jacket, cloth shoes, her hair is randomly tied into a knot, and a hairpin is inserted into it. As for her face, there is no need to apply powder. It is impossible to be a "white face" in this life.

This kind of dress is no different from Li Zhu's dress. Even if you meet an acquaintance on the street, you will be ignored.

When I got home in the afternoon, before I even entered the door, the maid informed me: "Master, the fifth lady is here."

My younger sister, Li Lin, is the second to last among the sisters, and everyone in the Li family calls her the Fifth Miss.

After entering the door, she saw her younger sister Li Lin and her lolita wife talking together. When Li Lin saw Li Changxian coming in, she burst into tears and threw herself at Li Changxian.

Although Lee Chang-hyun is usually arrogant and domineering outside, he loves his fellow sisters.

Seeing her sister Li Lin crying, she hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Look at me peeling him off!"

"No, no, it's..." The more Li Lin explained, the more tears she shed.

"Yesterday, your brother and I got the seventh-grade official position. This is a great thing. You didn't come to congratulate me yesterday. Why did you start crying when you came today?" Li Changxian teased his sister.

"Brother, can you not go? I heard that the people in Wanling County are brutal and ferocious, and there is a poisonous miasma. People rarely come back alive. Brother, I don't want you to die!" Li Lin cried.

"What's wrong with you? Your brother's fate is at stake." Li Changxian wiped away Li Lin's tears and said, "Don't worry, your brother will be fine. I will come back and visit you every year."

Li Changxian then tried to persuade Li Lin for a while, until Li Lin stopped crying. Li Lin leaned against Li Changxian. Li Changxian stroked Li Lin's hair, rubbed his sister's brow, and said with a smile: "You are so young for your age.

You also frown, it’s easy to look unattractive like this.”

Looking at his beautiful sister, Li Changxian also felt a lot of reluctance. He couldn't shirk the orders from the officials. If he left by himself, the one who felt most worried was this lovely sister.

She has no feelings for her father, and she has not seen him twice in more than ten years, let alone miss him. The second aunt is usually kind, but has a weak temper and cannot refuse the arrangement of the old man and the second uncle.

When his sister gets older, he will take her away to avoid being subject to the marriage arrangements of the feudal era.

Li Lin came crying, but was finally persuaded by Li Changxian to leave with a smile on her face. Before leaving, she made a hook with Li Changxian and agreed that Li Changxian would often visit her in the future.

In the following days, everyone in the Li family knew something. When they saw Li Changxian, they no longer went to congratulate him, but looked at Li Changxian with a strange look when passing by the courtyard. Everyone knew that this dandy young master wanted to

There is no going back.

Although my grandmother complained a few times during this period, it was resolved with a few jokes from my second uncle and second aunt.

No one pays attention to Li Changxian anymore. In the eyes of everyone, Li Changxian is just an abandoned young master!

At this time, Li Changxian was wandering on the street with Li Zhu just like yesterday, and from time to time he brought bags of things from different pharmacies and markets. Finally, he hid in a room by himself, not knowing what he was messing with.
