Fengzhou City is the governor of the state.
Although before Murong Yuliang arrived, the officials in Fengzhou had already prepared all kinds of things needed in the mansion for Murong Yuliang according to the rules, even the servants and maids he ordered. .
But it is obvious that the taste of this group of Fengzhou officials is not at the same level as Murong Yuliang. Murong Yuliang and his party had just moved into the Zhizhou Mansion and started buying things again...
"Master, all the shops in Fengzhou do not have Yue Lin Xiang. I have sent people to Dongning Mansion to have a look, but now only Jiu He Xiang can barely be used!"
Holding an incense candle, the housekeeper Zheng Xu, who came with Murong Yuliang, looked at Murong Yuliang who was looking at the official documents in the study with a troubled expression and said:
Hearing that his favorite incense was gone, Murong Yuliang frowned, then sighed softly and waved his sleeves.
Although Murong Yuliang did not speak, Zheng Xu, the housekeeper who had been with him for many years, naturally understood what he meant and quickly placed the incense candle in his hand and lit it in the incense burner in the study.
Soon, wisps of fragrance floated out from the incense burner and filled the study room...
After reading the official documents for a while, the elderly Murong Yuliang leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes to rest. After resting for a while, he asked calmly:
"How about the servants prepared by these Toyoshu officials?"
Zheng Xu, who was waiting aside, said without any hesitation: "At least half of them were planted by others. Among them, I have now discovered a little maid who belongs to Judge Wang Jin. Judging from her appearance and talents, she should be a pure servant. ··········”
At this point, Zheng Xu stopped talking and did not continue.
Murong Yuliang, who had been in the officialdom for half his life and had been a fourth-grade Hanlin scholar, naturally understood what Wang Jin meant by finding a servant girl to be his maid.
Recalling how Wang Jin fawned over him when they met today, Murong Yuliang pondered for a moment, opened his eyes and asked Zheng Xu again:
"Do you know who this Wang Jin is?"
Zheng Xu thought about it and said, "Reporting to the master, it is said that this Wang Jin is a confidant of the former magistrate. The two of them made a lot of money together. Since the former magistrate was transferred, he has no backer."
"It is rumored that he wants to join General Ye Mingsheng, but Ye Mingsheng hates corrupt officials very much. He killed many people in Fengzhou a while ago, so he doesn't like Wang Jin very much. Many people in Fengzhou officialdom Everyone is saying that the next person Ye Mingsheng will deal with is Wang Jin!"
Murong Yuliang nodded slightly when he heard this. His experienced mind roughly guessed what Wang Jin was thinking. After thinking about it for a while, he said:
"Those servants they have prepared, you should choose carefully. Pick a few clean ones to keep as servants, and retire the rest. As for the one Wang Jinan inserted, you will send her to the backyard and let her serve the young lady. Go!"
"Yes, sir!" Zheng Xu nodded and retreated.
After a brief rest, Murong Yuliang once again stayed up late at night and studied the briefings sent by the counties under Fengzhou in great detail.
Although he was demoted when he came to Fengzhou to serve as the magistrate, Murong Yuliang did not give up on himself or feel sorry for himself. On the contrary, he had a very positive view of his future in Fengzhou and believed that this was a good start for his future career. A good experience·········
As the second master of the Murong family, Murong Yuliang has always had a dream, which is to fulfill his father's last wish. Like his grandfather Murong Kui, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he will join the cabinet and become the elder of the Ming Dynasty. The top of the power pyramid.
In Dazhou, if you want to join the cabinet and become the elder of the cabinet, although your family background is very important, you can't just do it casually if you have a family background. Otherwise, Murong Yuliang's father would not have joined the cabinet until his death. It could be that he gave his two sons to fulfill his wish on his behalf.
If you want to become a cabinet minister, in addition to family background, you also need to look at various factors such as ability, reputation, reputation, and resume. Murong Yuliang is still very confident about his ability, reputation, and reputation.
He has been determined to fulfill his father's last wish since he was a child. In addition, he comes from a wealthy family like the Murong family. Murong Yuliang is not short of money. He basically has no shortage of material things.
Therefore, in the officialdom over the years, Murong Yuliang can be said to be strict with self-interest, diligent and conscientious, not letting anyone find any excuses, and only focusing on getting into the cabinet...
Although Murong Yuliang has very high requirements for himself, if he wants to join the cabinet and become a cabinet elder of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he still has some rigid requirements in terms of resume. The cabinet elder must not only have served in a central department such as the Sixth Department , and it is even more important to have held a local position, preferably a local chief official.
Except for a few special circumstances, the elders of the Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years have basically served as local officials, such as county magistrates, prefects, magistrates, and even governors and governors.
Before Murong Yuliang became a Hanlin scholar, he served in the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial College, and the Dali Temple. He had never held an official position outside Luo'an, and this became a problem for Murong Yuliang, who wanted to join the cabinet. Knot.
He wanted to go out to a local government, serve as a chief official for a time, and make some achievements for others to see, so as to gain more political chips for him to join the cabinet in the future. However, no suitable opportunity has ever appeared.
And this time, he was demoted by the chief assistant Shangguan Hongyuan, and it was an unintentional intervention. It happened to fulfill one of Murong Yuliang's wishes and enrich his resume.
Of course, there are regrets. Fengzhou is indeed a bit biased. In addition, it will take a few more years to become a fourth-grade official or a fifth-grade official...
After roughly scanning the briefings sent by various counties, Murong Yuliang had a certain understanding of the current situation in Fengzhou, which made Murong Yuliang feel happy and worried!
Fortunately, the situation in Fengzhou is much better than he imagined. With the policy of land distribution by various local governments in Fengzhou and the force guarantee of Zhenwu Army, Fengzhou, which had always had a net outflow of population, is gradually beginning to lose its population. There are signs of population growth, and a large part of this growing population consists of young and strong labor force.
This made Murong Yuliang very excited!
Population, especially the young and strong labor force, can be the cornerstone of development. With these people, the abandoned fields can be turned into fertile fields that produce food. Abandoned mines can also be re-excavated to produce various ore resources and help the development of Fengzhou. .
