Zheng Wanjun knew that there was probably Zhao Qingyun who was too stunning for comparison, and Ji Keji, who always came in last, was not so conspicuous.
Zheng Wanjun also knew that Ji Keji's own abilities were average, at least he couldn't compare to Zhao Qingyun, who had the aura of a male protagonist.
There are still a few years until the seventh prince ascends the throne. Instead of staying in the capital, it is better to decentralize the place like Zhao Qingyun.
Zheng Wanjun has never been in politics, but she is familiar with the plot.
She knew that the male protagonist had dazzling political achievements when he was a local official.
Zheng Wanjun feels that as long as it is reproduced one-to-one, even without the blessing of the male protagonist's halo, he can always achieve something.
The seventh prince, King Kang, was a pragmatic man. As long as his ministers were talented, he would promote them.
Ji Keji should be able to gain the attention of King Kang by relying on his performance in governing the local area.
Ji Keji was not so optimistic.
His idea is also simple. In the capital, he has the support of the Zheng family and the help of his wife. Although he is only a minor official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he is also in the Liubu Yamen.
There are also opportunities to interact with those noble people.
If he is transferred to a local place, who will remember him after a long time?
Zheng family?
The Zheng family also has descendants named Zheng, so we can't always use resources on him!
wife?
If it was the wife's fault, the family should stay in the capital.
You know, my wife’s business with Princess Pingchang and Princess Kang is in full swing.
And these workshops and shops are also in the capital.
If they go somewhere else, what will happen to these businesses?
If something really happens, it's beyond our reach. Losing business is still a trivial matter. The key is that it will offend noble people.
Another very important point is that Ji Keji knew that his candidates and Jinshi were blessed by great "good luck".
His own foundation is very weak.
He wanted to stay in the capital, read more books, accumulate more, and accumulate more.
The wife's business can indeed make friends with noble people, but in the end it is just a "small path".
If Ji Keji wants to gain a firm foothold in the officialdom and be able to go a long way, he still needs to improve his abilities - study! Learn more!
These are the right ways.
The capital is the most virtuous place at the feet of the emperor. There are collections of books in Hongwen Hall, Imperial College and other places.
There are also many famous figures and scholars, including the grandfathers and uncles of the Zheng family, who are also knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
When Ji Keji stayed in the capital, he could study if he wanted to, and if he wanted to watch the amazing performance of the old fox in officialdom, he could watch it live.
But if you leave, these conveniences will be gone.
Ji Keji said seriously to Zheng Wanjun: "Jun'er, it's easy to leave the capital, but it's not easy to come back!"
With so many decentralized officials, how many can come back?
Zheng Wanjun:......
Ji Keji's words also make sense.
He wants to consolidate his foundation and rely on his own efforts to manage connections. There is no problem with this.
But, but, Zheng Wanjun always felt that he should follow in the footsteps of the male protagonist and copy his success.
In this case, the chance of success will be greater.
However, on second thought, the male protagonist left the capital, leaving King Kang empty.
You can let your husband take advantage of it, oh no, if you show a lot of performance, you may be able to replace Zhao Qingyun and become King Kang's most effective confidant.
"...Okay! Then stay in the capital."
…
The place chosen by King Kang for Zhao Qingyun was a county town about a thousand miles away from the capital.
It is bitter cold, barren, and basically has no oil or water.
But if you work hard, it is easiest to achieve political results.
The family traveled for more than 20 days and finally arrived at the small, dilapidated county town covered in dust.
If the county seat is broken, the county government will be broken even more.
Ahem, there is a custom in the officialdom that "officials do not build yamen".
As long as the roof doesn't break and the walls don't collapse, it's good.
Houya is reserved for the family members of the county magistrate.
Grass has grown on the wall;
Paint began to peel off pillars, windows, door panels and furniture.
"Aniang, Jiaojiao, we really can't live here."
"Let's stay at the inn for the rest of the day, and I'll find someone to 'clean' the back office."
Zhao Qingyun walked around the back office, frowned and said to his mother and wife.
He knew that his mother-in-law and his wife were both meticulous and particular people.
They are very concerned about food, clothing and housing.
Furthermore, Zhao Qingyun did not want to wrong his mother and wife.
The officials did not repair the yamen, but they did not say that they would not let the magistrates "clean" the yamen.
"Okay! It's all up to you!"
Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiao agreed weakly.
Zhao Qingyun was used to taking charge of the overall situation, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his mother and wife not being able to manage the household.
He ordered people to book the best inn in the county and sent his mother and wife there in person.
After Zhao Qingyun's family entered the county town, there were countless pairs of eyes watching them secretly.
As for Han Jiaojiao, she directly put on the honor guard of her royal princess.
After arriving at the inn, there was even more fanfare and high-profile chatting.
The people peeping in secret couldn't help but gasped:
"As expected of the princess's wife, look at her grandeur, she is so impressive!"
"No, he actually booked the entire inn because he disliked Houya Po."
"What's the point of renting an inn? You even have to bring your own bedding and toilets."
"I heard that the fire on the stove never stops day and night, and the hot water and soup never stop."
"...The county's honorable lady is really a 'noble' person."
"Not only that! The old lady of the county family is also a very particular person."
Noble?
Love to be particular?
What a good thing!
They are afraid that the new county magistrate will be as clean as water, and that the back house will be impenetrable and impenetrable!
This is not the best, so that they can have the opportunity to give gifts and establish a relationship with Xinzhi County, and then, hey hey hey!
The next day, some female relatives came to the inn to visit Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao.
Gu Qingcheng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have their trademark clear and single eyes.
They accepted all the money that the female relatives tried to give them.
The local wealthy families and wealthy businessmen were both happy and contemptuous: Bah! Corrupt officials!
There are even squires and elders who are very disdainful of Zhao Qingyun: After all, he is young! So what if I passed six yuan? The hair on my body hasn’t even grown yet!
Even if Zhao Zhuangyuan is not easy to fool, his mother and wife are stupid.
First drag the female family members into the water, and then the county official and others will have no choice but to obey!
It happened that Zhao Qingyun was repairing the government office, so the female relatives rushed to fool Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao.
"Da Lang, there are so many 'good people' in Heyang County who have 'donated' so much money."
Gu Qingcheng was very emotional.
Han Jiaojiao also agreed seriously, "That's what Aniang said. Several wives of wealthy businessmen also took the initiative to introduce the craftsmen they commonly use in their homes. They also donated a lot of bricks, tiles, stones and other items."
Zhao Qingyun: ...My mother-in-law and my wife are all my own family, so don’t act anymore, okay?
If we were talking about the past, Zhao Qingyun would still be stupid and naive, thinking that his own mother was "missing the mark".
So as the years grow older and the number of "coincidences" increases, Zhao Qingyun will no longer think that way.
Especially after Han Jiaojiao came over, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were simply astonishingly "similar"——
He always puts on a silly and naive face and deceives those who think they are smart.
Others are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, but my own mother and concubine are as wise as fools.
However, as long as your family knows this kind of thing, there is no need to tell it.
"Yes! They are all good people!"
Zhao Qingyun endured the crazy complaints in his heart and began to roll up his sleeves and get started.
The "donations" used by local wealthy families and wealthy businessmen to bribe and win over him were used by him to build government offices and roads.
Three months later, a brand new government office appeared.
Outside the county town, a new, wide and strong official road also appeared in front of everyone.
The wealthy families and wealthy businessmen were secretly proud: Aren’t we being dragged into the water?
However, Zhao Zhuangyuan was not too greedy and could use some of it to do practical things.
They want money and fame, which makes them even easier to deal with.
The wealthy families and wealthy businessmen felt relieved and took advantage of Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao's birthdays to give them generous gifts.
No matter what stocks or shops, he is not stingy at all.
Even a bandit's den outside the city, after receiving the news, actually tried every means to find Zhao Qingyun.
Zhao Qingyun:......
What I didn’t say was just one word—suppression!
He is a civil servant, but his wife's maternal family, his biological brother, and his biological brother's wife's natal family are all military generals.
After a few letters were written, three waves of people rushed to the county town half a month later.
The Huo family sent two hundred people, Bu Qu, Zhao Qingsong sent two hundred people, and the Pei family not only sent two hundred people, but Pei Qiangqiang, a married woman who stayed in the capital, also came.
Plus Han Jiaojiao's two hundred brides, as well as the new generations of the Gu family and the Zhao family.
The total number of people from several parties can actually make up seven to eight hundred people, and to the outside world, it is said to be a thousand people.
"Brother, I will lead the team myself, okay?"
Pei Qiangqiang was extremely excited. After getting married, her husband returned to the northwest to continue leading the army, while she was left in the capital.
It's not a hostage, after all, Zhao Qingsong is just a little captain.
Pei Qiangqiang did not follow Zhao Qingsong back to the northwest, mainly because——
"Qiang Qiang, stop making trouble! You are already pregnant!"
Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao wanted to hold their foreheads together.
The backyard of their Zhao family is indeed not normal.
"Let Lan Yin follow!"
Gu Qingcheng felt that instead of letting the pregnant Pei Qiangqiang go to suppress the bandits, it would be better to let the strange girl Gu Lanyin go.
"I am coming too!"
The speaker was Prince Kang’s direct cousin, Xiao Liulang of the Xiao family.
He came with Pei Qiangqiang.
Come and join in the fun.
Secondly, the young man, who had always been a bit dandy, became shy and coy when his eyes passed over Gu Lanyin.
Gu Qingcheng:...Oh haha!
Han Jiaojiao:...There's something going on!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have such a tacit understanding that they quickly reacted in unison without even exchanging glances——
"Yes, Aniang is right, let Lan Yin go."
"Xiao Xiaoliu is going too! After all, he is a general and a tiger, so it would be nice to go to the village to see some blood!"
In this way, Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao pressed the button on Pei Qiangqiang who was eager to try, and asked Zhao Qingyun to take Gu Lanyin, Xiao Xiaoliu and "a thousand" people to go straight to Qingshan Village outside the city.
In less than three days, the famous local bandit Qingshan Village was wiped out!
