There are several large clans in Ying County. Some clan members are officials in Yunzhou City, some are officials in the capital, and some although no one is an official, their influence in the local area is quite obvious, such as opening private schools, academies, etc. wait.
In short, although Ying County is a Shang County, the situation is complicated. Some of the new policies introduced by the DPRK and China have not been implemented in Ying County.
Therefore, when someone mentioned Ying County, Xie Xiuwen deliberately asked Xie Ronghui to come here for a trial.
Of course, although Xie Xiuwen wanted to train his son, he would never let him go casually.
Prior to this, during the Fuwang Rebellion, the governor of Yunzhou had been replaced by Xie Xiuwen's former student, who actually came from Mingshan Academy. Later, Xie Xiuwen became his teacher, so they always communicated with each other on a teacher-student basis.
With one of his own as a Shangguan, Xie Ronghui can feel more at ease in Ying County.
When Xie Ronghui took office this time, Xie Xiuwen also arranged for him to have a master, who was from Gaoyang County. However, because of his poverty, he finally passed the exam and became a scholar. He was tricked by others, leaving a scar on his face. Since then, he has been with Xie Ronghui. If you don't get a chance to take the imperial examination, it will be very expensive to keep your reputation as a scholar.
This man's name is Han Cheng, he is smart, versatile and good at dancing, which can make up for some of Xie Ronghui's shortcomings.
Although Han Cheng was from Gaoyang County, he had grown up in the capital since he was a child, so he was familiar with some of the power conflicts in the capital. Later, he was accidentally rescued by Xie Xiuwen, and he has been grateful to him ever since. When he learned that Xie Ronghui was going to Ying County to take office, Then he recommended himself.
Xie Xiuwen is actually very satisfied with him. After all, he has lived in a complicated environment since he was a child, and he has cultivated an exquisite heart, which should be able to make up for Xie Ronghui's shortcomings.
In this way, it was arranged directly.
The so-called master actually has no rank. To put it nicely, he is actually the counselor of the county magistrate.
But don't underestimate the master. In any yamen, apart from the county magistrate, the master is the biggest. Even the county magistrate must avoid his sharpness.
Because the master is the one who can directly advise the county magistrate, if you accidentally offend the master, just wait to be beaten.
Moreover, most of the officials in the county government can be appointed and removed by the county magistrate. If they want to report to the government, they basically don't run away.
Therefore, although Xie Ronghui is new here, the officials are still very honest.
Chen Jiaojiao learned from Xie Rongzhao's experience in Feng County and did not rush to buy property. She first walked around and looked around more and became familiar with Ying County before thinking about what to do.
Ying County's business was booming, but Chen Jiaojiao found that there was really no place for her to use herself. At most, she could buy some land. If she opened a shop, she had no advantage.
Chen Jiaojiao was not good at business, and what she knew was basically available here, so she could afford it anyway, so there was no need to take risks.
Most of Chen Jiaojiao's properties are in the capital. Now that she has taken office, she has brought a lot of money with her, so she is not worried about running out of money. Moreover, she has already made an agreement with the stewards in the capital to let them know before the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. Come over and give me some money.
Although Xie Ronghui's salary is not much, with Lumi, there is no need to buy additional rice and grain, and the salary is enough to support the daily expenses of buying vegetables.
Strictly speaking, Chen Jiaojiao doesn't spend much here. As long as she doesn't go out, she basically doesn't need to spend any money.
Of course, this is only temporary.
There is always a need for favors.
After Xie Ronghui left Beijing, the only junior member of Xie Ronghui's room in the Xie Mansion in the capital was Xie Ronghui.
The juniors who previously studied in the capital have basically returned to their hometowns. Some are studying at Mingshan Academy, while others are returning to their hometown to study in county schools to prepare for next year's provincial examination.
Xie Xiuwen was generous and willing to support the younger generation, so when Xie Ronghui returned to his hometown, he asked him to bring a letter to the clan leader.
The letter also mentioned that every two or three years, some juniors could be selected to study in the capital and live in the Xie Mansion. Firstly, it would allow the children to gain exposure and know that there are mountains beyond the mountains. Secondly, it would also broaden the horizons of the juniors. , to avoid being blinded by wealth again after becoming an official in the future.
His approach naturally won the approval and joy of the elders in the clan.
After all, Xie Xiuwen was willing to help the clan train the younger generation, and they had to be grateful for this.
Xie Xiuwen did this, firstly, to make the Xie family really strong and avoid being rubbed down by others in the future, and secondly, he also hoped that his close relatives would get more care in his hometown, so that he could rest assured.
The relatives of the Xie family are now hoping that Mr. Xie and the old lady will live a long life, so that Xie Xiuwen can come back to Dingyou, and his official career will be smoother, and the sons and daughters of the Xie family can get more. of convenience.
Even though Xie Xiuwen did not need special attention, with a giant Buddha like him around, the officials in the court did not dare to embarrass Xie Jiaziyi too much.
This is the power of powerful ministers.
Xie Rongen was fighting at the border, so Liu Ruolan often sent people to check on his niece-in-law. Although this niece-in-law also grew up in the capital and was a fierce general, and had nothing to fear, Liu Ruolan always felt that she should take more care of her.
Xie Rongen received a letter from his wife and learned that the second aunt often sent people to take care of her, and even went there in person several times, mainly to help take care of the children. This made Xie Rongen very comfortable.
Sure enough, he could feel more at ease with the elders still around.
Xie Ronlang is not good enough now. Although he was a first-class Jinshi in junior high school, he is still young, so his current official position is not high and his power is average.
This is also what Xie Xiuwen meant. He must be trained for a few years before he can suppress his temper before he can be worthy of important responsibilities.
"Rong Lang, your eldest brother is sent abroad, so you will definitely stay in Beijing. Although your current official position is relatively fast, it is mainly due to the shortage of people in the court. In the next two or three years, you should work hard and be more practical. , No matter it is Shangguan or his subordinates, please do not leave any clues."
"Yes, father, the son knows."
"My father is now the chief assistant, but it will not hinder your development. If you can reach the fourth rank within five years, then my father can retire and return home."
It is an unwritten rule in the court that if a father and his son serve as officials in the same court, one of them will always give way.
In other words, two generations cannot be important ministers. This is a taboo in the court.
Xie Ronlang became anxious when he heard this: "Father, no! My son is still young. You are the chief assistant and have been entrusted with important tasks by the saint. My son does not understand many things, so you have to ask your father to support you."
"Sit down first, don't be anxious. I am telling you this just to tell you the future plans of the three of us, father and son. It is my honor to be a minister because the Holy One trusts me. It's just that there are rules in the court. And if you really hold onto something like rights for a long time, it may not be a good thing." (End of Chapter)
