How come there are two places?
Lin Yuanqiu took a closer look and saw that it read on the document: In the 35th year of Jingkang, Lin Yuanqiu, a former Hanlin editor, was appointed magistrate of Yongning Prefecture and also appointed magistrate of Hu County. I hope you will be diligent in political affairs and benefit the country.
Yongning Zhizhou? Also appointed Hu Zhixian?
Lin Yuanqiu wondered why he was assigned to Yongning Prefecture as the prefect, and what was this part-time job about?
…
Chapter 180: Its power cuts through gold
The appointment document contains the date of appointment, which is the time when the official takes office. If it is not written clearly, there is no guarantee that some officials will be reluctant to leave for a long time.
There is a reason why this is done. There were such officials in previous years, and documents for external release had already been issued. But they used it as an excuse to buy things, so a few months passed and they still haven't set off.
Therefore, when the Ministry of Officials now issues appointment documents, they will give the exact time of arrival based on the distance of the journey.
Lin Yuanqiu looked at the day he took office, April 26th. It is almost the end of February, which means that within the next two months, he must arrive at the place where he took office.
Although he was not very familiar with Yongning Prefecture, Lin Yuanqiu still knew its approximate location.
Generally speaking, for places like this going all the way north, the transportation method is basically a horse-drawn carriage, so it is necessary to set off more than a month in advance.
It can be seen from this that the time left for yourself to prepare is at most a month.
However, Lin Yuanqiu's thoughts were not on these at the moment. He was still wondering why he was suddenly moved.
But Lin Yuanqiu also knew that it would be useless to wonder. This is not a modern situation where you can question the leader if you have doubts in your heart.
Here, there is no other option but to accept it unconditionally or to resign.
As for Lin Yuanqiu, it was definitely impossible for him to resign, otherwise why would he have worked so hard to enter the official career.
So, it’s better to prepare yourself quickly.
After all, the Anzhou Prefecture homework he had done previously was useless now.
What I should do now is to learn more about Yongning Prefecture and Dinghu County, so as not to be blind and have no clue.
Perhaps it was because it was too sudden, and it was difficult for Lin Yuanqiu to calm down for a while, and then he thought that the teacher must have known about it at this time, so Lin Yuanqiu, who had never violated the official code in the past three years, was on duty for the first time. After leaving the Hanlin Academy gate, he quickly went to the Ministry of Rites.
Qin Yuzheng was anxious, even though the murder of Magistrate Hu by bandits had not yet been made public. But because their Ministry of Rites wanted to draft a posthumous title for Du Zhi County, they had already known about it the day before yesterday.
It is said that a court official could be killed by a gangster, which shows how unstable Dinghu County is.
And such a place turned out to be the place where his students were going to work abroad. How could Qin Yu not be anxious.
At this time, Qin Yu would inevitably regret his original proposal. If he had known that he would be arranged to such a remote place, he might as well have stayed in the capital.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world, and now I have to go to Yuanqiu.
When the guard came to report that Lin Xiuzhuan of the Imperial Academy was looking for him, Qin Yu hurriedly walked out. When he saw his student waiting for him at the door with a smile on his face, Qin Yu sighed in his heart. This kid must have come here to reassure him because he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.
There was no teahouse nearby, so the two of them couldn't just chat at the gate. Finally, Qin Yu pointed to the horse post and said, "Let's go to my carriage and talk."
The coachman was a smart man and knew that the master and Mr. Lin had something to say, so he got out of the car hurriedly. Then he stood a few meters away, helping to check the surroundings while avoiding disturbing the conversation in the carriage.
"Yuanqiu, do you know that Magistrate Dinghu County was killed by bandits?"
Before he could sit down, Qin Yu brought up a topic that made Lin Yuanqiu feel nervous.
"The students have never heard of it."
Lin Yuanqiu shook his head. Generally, if no one informed him about something like this, he would only learn about it from the court's announcement.
Qin Yu also thought of this, so he told everything he knew about Duzhi County from beginning to end.
And Lin Yuanqiu had doubts in his heart when he heard that Du Zhixian was the robber encountered on the way back from the Chenghuang Temple. As we all know, the City God's Temple is usually built inside the city, but it is also said that Magistrate Du encountered the robbers outside the city, so this statement must be different from the actual situation.
Therefore, Lin Yuanqiu expressed his doubts, "Teacher, the City God's Temple has always been built in the city, but the Fenzhou Prefecture reported that Du Zhixian was the robber encountered in the suburbs. Obviously, this statement is unreasonable. The student felt that , there should be another reason for this matter."
Qin Yu was stunned after hearing this. Yes, this dynasty has never heard of any City God's Temple being built in the suburbs. From this point of view, there must be another hidden reason behind Du Zhixian's death.
Also, why had I not thought of such an obvious loophole before? Not only him, but also other officials in the Ministry of Etiquette did not notice this, otherwise someone would have raised questions long ago.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu couldn't help but look at his student again and again. He was smart, sharp, and knew how to think when things happened.
Qin Yu soon remembered that Yuan Qiu had never allowed him to bother himself, so he was confused if he cared.
Because he had discussed all his thoughts with his teacher, Lin Yuanqiu felt much calmer when he returned to the Hanlin Academy. Anyway, the soldiers would come to block the water and the earth would cover it up, so let everything be as it happened.
…
When he returned home from the next shift, Lin Yuanqiu directly told his family about the decision to be sent abroad, and also informed everyone of his official rank and where he was going.
When they heard that their little grandson was actually going to be an official in two places, Lao Lintou and Wu couldn't help but feel proud on their faces. This must be so glorious.
Everyone else in the family was also beaming.
In the eyes of everyone, being an official in the Hanlin Academy is more prestigious than being in charge of thousands of people directly.
Lin Sanzhu grinned from the corner of his mouth to the base of his ears. His son was only in his twenties now. He didn't expect that he would be the parent and official of so many people, hehe.
At this time, Zhou Zixu's expression was completely opposite to that of everyone present. When he heard about Yongning Prefecture and Dinghu County, his eyes widened, "Aren't these two places where Shanrong people often come to grab food?" ?"
Zhou Zixu remembered that when he was at the Fucheng teahouse, the businessmen who came and went mentioned this matter.
Grabbing food? What about grabbing food?
Old Lintou was stunned, "Zixu, who did you just say came to grab food?"
Lin Yuanqiu hurriedly raised his feet and stepped on the shoes under the table.
Everyone just heard "Ouch", and then Zhou Zixu wondered, "Brother, why are you stepping on my foot?"
Before Lin Yuanqiu could give a hint, Zhou Zixu quickly answered what Old Lintou said, "Grandpa, when my uncle and I were studying in Fucheng in the past, we heard people say that soldiers from Beiyuan Mountain often came to our Dajing to grab food. Son-in-law Sun remembers that the places mentioned by the merchants include Yongning Prefecture and Dinghu County."
Okay, now I told you all the things I wanted to hide.
To be honest, Lin Yuanqiu really admired Zhou Zixu's memory. He could still clearly remember what happened several years ago. And he only remembered this matter after checking the information in the library in the afternoon.
"Yuanqiu, is what Zixu said true?"
Lin Sanzhu had already stopped smiling, and his originally red face was now a little pale. Lin Sanzhu had heard people talk about the Shanrong people. These people were nomadic people from the north. They often ran across the border to grab food because they ran out of food. In addition to robbing food, they also killed people and set fires. They did all kinds of evil. If Yuan Qiu were to work in a place like this, wouldn't it be equivalent to carrying his life in his hands every day?
Wu was also anxious, "Yuanqiu, you bastard, since that place is so scary, let's talk to the Holy One and ask him to find another place for us."
"Do you think we can let our family do whatever they want on this matter?" Although Old Lintou said this, there was expectation in his eyes.
Looking at the other people in the family, it was obvious that they also wanted him to talk to the Holy One.
Lin Yuanqiu naturally knew the worries in his family's hearts, but Dinghu County was not at such a scary level.
Recalling what he had read in the information in the afternoon, Lin Yuanqiu smiled and said, "Master, grandma, Yongning Prefecture and Beiyuan have a towering gorge as the boundary. It is not so convenient for Shanrong people to come here. Besides, it is not far from the city. With Honghu Camp stationed there, we can rest assured of our safety."
Even though they heard what their little grandson said, old Lintou and Mr. Wu couldn't really feel at ease.
Therefore, after returning to the room, the old couple couldn't sleep.
Old Lintou seemed to have made up his mind, and stood up and said to Mrs. Wu on the side, "My dear, tomorrow you give Lao San some money and ask him to buy a ginseng for us two. Tell him that we have to do it beforehand." The kind we ate when we came to the capital."
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she immediately understood what her wife meant. She was really worried and was planning to go out together.
After thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Wu felt that this was a good idea. Instead of being in fear in the capital, they might as well follow their grandson together.
There are many people who have the same idea as Lao Lintou and Wu. For example, Lin Yuanfeng, Lin Yuansong, and Lin Yuanhuai and Lin Yuanbai thought this way at this time.
In the eyes of a few people, they can't just enjoy the happiness without paying for this family.
Besides, it is not just the fifth brother’s responsibility to shine the lintel of the Lin family. Now the fifth brother is in need of manpower. If he doesn't follow him now, how can he stay?
It is said that brothers who work together can cut through gold. If they have no other abilities, they should still be able to help out.
After figuring everything out, Lin Yuanfeng and the others suddenly felt like following their fifth brother in a big fight.
In the main room, Mrs. Zhou was talking to Lin Dazhu, "Husband, why don't we go north with Yuan Qiu."
Mr. Zhou's ideas are straightforward, and the good fortune of his family now depends entirely on his nephew. So they had to keep the person safe, otherwise if something happened to their nephew, everything would be for naught.
In fact, Lin Dazhu thought the same way, but there was still a shop open at home, so he couldn't leave it alone.
Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "What's wrong with leaving it behind? It turns out our family didn't have anything. Right now, the affairs of Yuan Qiu are the most important thing. It won't be too late to make money when we come back later. You don't want to think about it either." , if Yuanqiu does not take care of it, then our family will have nothing."
What Zhou also wants to say is that if Yuan Qiu really wants to have something, her Wanqing and Wanxue, as well as Mo Xuan, Mo Cheng and Mo Lin, will no longer have young ladies or young masters to serve as.
Therefore, no matter what, Zhou felt that she should follow him and help her nephew.
Lin Dazhu nodded, "Let's go tell our parents tomorrow."
At this time, in the second room, Mrs. Liu and Lin Erzhu were making the same decision. In Lin Erzhu's words, the family should work together to get things done.
As for Mrs. Liu, after hearing Lin Erzhu's words, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Why did she feel that her husband suddenly seemed so talented?
Compared with the other two rooms, the three rooms at this time are the brightest.
After Feng and Lin Sanzhu lit all the oil lamps in the room, they found the furoshiki and began to pack their luggage.
…
Chapter 181 Help
Compared with the busyness in each room, Lin Yuanqiu's place was much calmer.
Anyway, the release is a foregone conclusion, and after today's conversation with the teacher, Lin Yuanqiu has a rough plan in mind. In the next time, he only needs to prepare the items he wants to take to his job.
Yongning Prefecture and Dinghu County are located at the northernmost point of the Jing Dynasty. Lin Yuanqiu doesn't know whether the products are rich or not, but the products are definitely not as rich as the capital.
Therefore, for some commonly used things that can be purchased here in the capital, it is best to purchase them before bringing them over.
There are also pastries and snacks to eat on the way.
The other thing is medicine, whether it’s something to protect against the heat or mosquitoes, you have to have some on hand.
Therefore, Lin Yuanqiu, who had painted two pictures of Chunshan Huaju in the study, quickly returned to the room with the list of items he had written in the afternoon.
"Let's see if there is anything else to add." After Lin Yuanqiu handed the list to Zhong Yurou, he saw that there was already a list on the dressing table. Looking at the Juanxiu small regular script above, Lin Yuanqiu knew that it was written by Yu Rou.
He picked up the list and looked at it carefully, and found that it not only contained cakes, snacks and medicines, but also rice noodles, small pots, candles, tea bowls, chessboards, etc. It was much richer than what he had written. At the end of the list, there is actually a hoe and an axe.
