Mu Qianyu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "How do you say this?"
"All the scientific examination scholars in our dynasty are assigned to the lower levels for training, and the highest is only a seventh-rank official. Although you are the number one in the Tianban, being able to give you a sixth rank is already the highest."
"But he took a trick and assigned you to a government office that no one wants to go to, so even if you are a high-ranking official, there is no reason for me and the emperor to disagree." Ji Lin said.
When Mu Qianyu heard this, he became interested and asked, "I would like to know where no one wants to go."
"Anping Mansion is the boundary between Daxuan and Ten Thousand Beast Mountains. There are many spiritual beasts in Ten Thousand Beast Mountains. Therefore, there are always one or two beast tides every year."
"Every time the beasts invade, the people suffer heavy casualties, causing the people to be miserable and extremely poor." Ji Lin also let out a long sigh when he introduced.
This place can be said to have been a concern for the rulers of the Daxuan Dynasty.
Mu Qianyu asked in confusion: "Then why not send a large army to station to resist the beast tide?"
"Senior, what I don't know is that the scale of the beast tide is very large, and the time of attack every year is uncertain. If you want to keep Pingfu safe, you can only send 500,000 soldiers to guard it all year round."
"Calculate, if half a million soldiers guard only one mansion, how much supplies will it consume for the imperial court? Even the most prosperous and powerful imperial court cannot afford it." Ji Lin sighed again.
Mu Qianyu nodded: "That's the same truth, but without a large army, wouldn't you be afraid of the beast tide devouring more towns?"
"No, all the beasts only attack that one mansion. In order for the dynasty not to lose so much, we have no choice but to give up on that one Anping mansion."
Ji Lin said in a deep voice: "In the final analysis, I, the Prime Minister, am useless. I haven't found anyone who can manage the place well in so many years."
"I understand, so Mr. Cai chose such a place for me because he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people." Mu Qianyu touched his chin and said.
Ji Lin nodded and said: "It is indeed too dangerous there. According to the junior's wishes, I would like to find a sixth-grade official in the Imperial City. Although the official position is small, there are many opportunities for promotion in the Imperial City, and it is very stable."
When Mu Qianyu heard this future, she felt that it was not her future. There was nothing wrong with the people's description of her. She just didn't know how to have relationships.
There were so many officials in this imperial city that a brick thrown casually could hit a third- or fourth-grade person. Facing the twists and turns of these people, she might as well face a spiritual beast.
If she is released as the prefect, she will be the biggest in the entire Anping Prefecture, so she will definitely not have to suffer.
What are you afraid of if you are poor?
"Don't... don't change it. I'm going to Anping Mansion. I like Anping Mansion." Mu Qianyu opened his mouth and said.
"Senior Mu, have you been to Anping Mansion?"
"No, what you said is very lively. I think it suits me very well." She said sincerely.
"..." Ji Lin was startled for a moment and then said: "The lower-level officials there are also very involved. There is a group of gangs and bandits who are causing trouble. The previous prefect died inexplicably, so it is better not to take a trip into this muddy water.
."
"The lower-level officials are all my subordinates, and the gangs and bandits are also dark forces that can be easily defeated." Mu Qianyu said: "I am good at handling these relationships, Prime Minister, don't worry."
Ji Lin was in a bit of a dilemma. His original intention was that the offer from the Ministry of Civil Affairs was not satisfactory, and he wanted to negotiate with Mu Qianyu for an official position that she thought was pretty good, but he didn't expect that she would actually make up her mind to go to Anping Mansion?
You must know that it is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. If something happens to her, the young master will not be able to strangle him to death when he comes back.
"Besides, the only way to get a fifth-rank official is to go there, right? Didn't Xiaoyeye say that rank is the most important thing." Mu Qianyu became more and more satisfied as he talked.
"This..." Ji Lin hesitated.
"I have the final say in my family's affairs. The Prime Minister is also thinking of asking my husband for instructions, so it's settled." Mu Qianyu said simply.
Ji Lin was still a little confused when he came out of the mansion where Mu Qianyu temporarily lived. Now he really feels that this little master's grandmother is different.
A little girl would actually want to go to that dangerous place. Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the imperial city? He was already prepared to clean up her mess at any time.
I feel more relaxed now, no need to prepare.
He also wanted to change Mu Qianyu's official position without authorization, but before leaving, the young master told him not to make any decisions for her, but to consult with her. The decision she made herself was the most suitable for her.
Since Mu Qianyu insisted on this matter, he could only do it step by step. The report was passed to the emperor the next day.
He took a general look and found that he had never cared about this kind of thing, but he was also surprised when he saw Mu Qianyu and Anping Mansion were connected together.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was a brilliant idea to place an extraordinary talent like Mu Qianyu in Anping Mansion.
The more this kind of place is, the more one can see a person's ability. If Mu Qianyu can manage such a place well, he will be a great talent that can be reused.
If he goes like others and dies inexplicably, or fails to accomplish anything, then from now on he will just pretend that there has never been such a person.
So he approved the document with a stroke of his pen, and from then on, the positions of these people were determined.
Next, we have to start preparing for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, because all officials of the seventh rank and above in the Immortal Dynasty are required to participate in the heaven-sacrifice. Only at that moment when their names are written in the mountain and river book are they real officials, with real luck.
.
Mu Qianyu was quite helpless when he learned that the heaven-sacrifice ceremony would have to wait seven days. He thought that he would be able to get his luck by becoming an official, but he didn't expect that the process would be so complicated.
When will her frail little body get better?
But she had no other choice, so she spent the next days huddled by the fire, listening to the officials from the Ministry of Rites sent around her explain all the matters that needed to be paid attention to when offering sacrifices to heaven.
Mu Qianyu found it difficult to write down everything in his own mind, so he called for reinforcements, namely Nannan.
Nannan's mind was definitely following Beichen Ye, she just swayed her legs while listening, and after listening, she was able to repeat it word for word.
The two young officials from the Ministry of Rites praised him repeatedly. They were a little confused when they saw Mu Qianyu's face, but now they just want to steal the child and go home.
Of course, they also knew they couldn't beat her mother, so they left after teaching her for half a day.
"Mom, that heaven-sacrifice ceremony looks very exciting, can I go?" Nannan climbed on Mu Qianyu's body, put her arms around Mu Qianyu's arms and asked.
After hearing this, Mu Qianyu stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of her nose and said, "Okay, dad said there will be many people watching below. Can you let your sister Xiaoruo and uncle Shadow accompany you?"
