Although Zhang Jian arrived in Jiangdu for the first time, he still had the status of a county magistrate. Having this status as a county magistrate meant that the people in the Jiangdu county government had to obey his orders.
Moreover, this young county magistrate could land in Jiangdu at this time. It is obvious that he has a strong foundation behind him. Therefore, the people of Jiangdu County Government could not disobey his orders. They could only carry the sedan chair and transport Magistrate Zhang. He was sent all the way to the gate of Ganquan Academy outside the city.
After arriving at Ganquan Academy, Magistrate Zhang ordered the bearers to wait at the door. The servants of the Zhang family immediately went to the door of the academy to report. After a while, a young man appeared at the door of the academy, bowed his head slightly to Magistrate Zhang, and said : "I've met the county magistrate."
"In the name of Mr. Lu, I came here to welcome the county minister in."
Zhang Jian looked at the young man in front of him up and down, then smiled and said, "Are you Master Lu's student? What's your name?"
"I dare not call you Mr. Lu's student."
The young man looked respectful and said: "Back to the county magistrate, my surname is Shen Mingyi. I am a student of Ganquan Academy and a disciple of Mr. Lu. I was listening to Mr. Lu's teachings just now. It happened that the county magistrate came over, and the gentleman asked me to greet him. Welcome to the county honor."
Magistrate Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "Just lead the way. I haven't seen Uncle Lu for four or five years."
Shen Yi nodded quickly and walked in an orderly manner with the young man leading the way. When he passed the corner, he glanced at the county master behind him with his peripheral vision.
He is a young man who looks very clean. Because he is young, he has not yet grown a beard. At first glance, he looks a bit like those self-proclaimed romantic scholars in Jiangdu City.
However, most of the scholars in Jiangdu City are just scholars, and some are not even scholars. However, the young county master in front of him has already completed the imperial examination at a young age and is a serious Jinshi master.
Being able to pass the scientific examination at this age and fill the position of Jiangdu County Magistrate means that this County Magistrate Zhang has been in the capital for several years.
In other words, this is a serious child prodigy. He may have completed the single-plank bridge of the scientific examination and jumped over the dragon gate by the age of about twenty.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart.
"The third brother is about the same age as him, why are there so many differences..."
Shen Yi's third brother Shen Ling should be about the same age as Zhang Xianzun, but Shen Laosan is still idle so far. He is either at home with his wife or wandering around Jiangdu City every day.
Just when Shen Yi was thinking wildly, Master Lu's study was already in front of him. Shen Yi stopped, looked back at County Magistrate Zhang, then lowered his head slightly and said: "The magistrate will wait a moment, the student will go and report."
"No need to be so polite."
Zhang Jian smiled at Shen Yi and said, "My teacher was born in Ganquan Academy. Now that I am in the academy, I am no longer a county official."
Shen Yi nodded, turned around, pushed open the door, and whispered to Old Man Lu in the room: "Sir, Mr. Zhang is here, he is outside."
"Invite him in."
"yes."
Shen Yi turned around obediently, opened the door, and said to Magistrate Zhang who was waiting outside: "Your Majesty, sir, please come in."
Zhang Jian lowered his head slightly, straightened his clothes, then walked into Master Lu's study, bowed to Master Lu who was sitting upright, and said, "Zhang Jian has met Uncle Lu."
Master Lu was currently correcting Shen Yi's policy. Hearing this, he put down the brush in his hand, looked up at Zhang Jian, and then sighed slightly: "Sit down and talk."
Zhang Jian nodded and found a chair in the study to sit down.
After seeing him sit down, Master Lu glanced at him and asked, "How is Brother Changping doing lately?"
Hearing the words "Brother Changping", Shen Yi standing aside moved his eyebrows.
He remembered the name.
At that time, he had just been in Master Lu's study and saw Old Man Lu writing a letter to someone. He didn't know the content of the letter, but he could clearly read the words on the envelope.
Zhao Changping of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
That is to say…
Shen Yi glanced at the young county magistrate and thought to himself.
It seems that this county master... is the student of the big boss from the Ministry of Revenue.
If that's the case, that's really a great thing.
In a few months, the county examination will be held. Shen Yi will sign up to participate, and the new county magistrate will also preside over this county examination!
Although the county magistrate cannot influence the results of the prefectural examination, generally the county magistrate who selects the prefectural examination will definitely pass the prefecture examination. In other words, if the county magistrate, who has connections with Ganquan Academy, selects Shen Yi's prefect , Shen will be directly recommended to the hospital for examination!
Gyeonggi's academic examinations were held in the capital.
Shen's thoughts flew to the sky, and Zhang Jian on the other side had a smile on his face and replied with a smile: "Thank you, uncle, for caring about me. Everything is fine in Kyoto. I just miss Jiangdu occasionally and talk about going back to Jiangdu from time to time." , teaching in the academy with my uncle."
Hearing these words, Lu Anshi should have smiled on his face, but at this moment Master Lu looked at Zhang Jian and sighed: "Yi An."
Zhang Xianzun immediately lowered his head and said: "Uncle Master."
Master Lu frowned and said, "Originally, Brother Changping wrote to me saying that you would come to Jiangdu to serve as a parent official for one or two terms. I was very happy in my heart. After all, you are also half a student of the academy. Today I I also had some food and wine prepared to greet you when you arrived, but before your sedan arrived at the academy this morning, I heard..."
When Lu Anshi said this, Zhang Xianzun interrupted him and said with a smile: "I heard that the disciple did not go to pay a visit to the Fu Zun, so he came to pay a visit to you?"
Hearing Zhang Jian's words, Lu Anshi just frowned slightly, while Shen Yi beside him was already stunned.
He first looked at Zhang Jian, then swallowed and subconsciously took half a step back.
The reason why I took a step back was not to distance myself from the county magistrate Zhang, but because I didn’t want to be familiar with the county magistrate!
If he offends Shangguan like this as soon as he takes office, even if Shangguan can't do anything to him, he will definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart!
What if Mr. Zhang is really familiar with Shen Yi and points out some cases for Shen Yi during the county examination? When it comes to the government examination, Mr. Shen may not even have tears to cry!
"That's not what being an official is like."
Lu Anshi frowned and said slowly: "You passed the examination as a teenager and worked as an editor in the court in your early twenties. It is normal for you to be a little arrogant, but now that you are in the local government, you must abide by the local rules no matter what.
When you arrive in Jiangdu, the first person you should meet is Chen Fuzun, not me, a teacher."
"The teachings of the saints are the master of the king of heaven and earth."
Magistrate Zhang looked calm and smiled at Lu Anshi: "Shangguan is not among them. Uncle, you are my commander. When I arrive in Jiangdu, I naturally want to see you first."
Master Lu frowned again. He looked up at Zhang Jian and asked, "Did...Brother Changping tell you this?"
Zhang Jian shook his head and smiled slightly.
"Uncle, don't worry. My nephew didn't come to Jiangdu to offend anyone. I naturally have a reason to do this. The elders in the court don't want my nephew to get too close to Chen Fuzun. In this case, my nephew
Just make a gesture to show them."
"My nephew will make it clear to Mr. Chen in person in the afternoon."
Hearing Zhang Jian's words, Master Lu frowned at first, then shook his head and sighed.
"That's all, I haven't been an official for a long time, and I can no longer clearly see the situation in the court."
Zhang Jian had a smile on his face.
"Uncle Master, Your Majesty will be in charge of the affairs for a month or two."
