It can be said that the old village chief's performance was quite perfect.
This innocent expression made Lin Yun give him a thumbs up.
Cui Mingchong had a depressed look on his face. He originally wanted to expose Lin Yun and take him under his wing. With enough food, he would not only be able to solve the problem of disaster relief in Haocheng, but also make a lot of money for himself.
But I never expected that I would steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Lin Yun then stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Master Cui, this time you should believe that the common people are not lying, right?"
Cui Mingchong lost his patience and asked with a glare: "Is it true that Niubei Village only produced 120,000 kilograms of grain this year?"
Lin Yun patted his chest, but opened his eyes and told lies, saying, "I swear to God, I really only have these 120,000 kilograms!"
Cui Mingchong completely lost his temper and turned to look at Qiu Guangri.
One of them is an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court, and the other is the governor of Yucheng Mansion. They are both imperial officials. .
With the final result of this inspection, it is natural to discuss countermeasures.
The two walked to the side and whispered.
Ma Ji gave Lin Yun a subtle thumbs up. His official robes were so wide that it would be difficult for ordinary people to notice his hands underneath.
Lin Yun just turned up the corners of his mouth, feeling very proud.
Glancing at the old village chief next to him, he whispered: "You are so stupid that you will never stop talking without surprising me!"
The old village chief laughed dryly and was in a good mood.
This time even Lin Yun was almost fooled by him.
If something goes wrong, his life will be over, and Niubei Village will also suffer.
After about a cup of tea, Cui Mingchong and Qiu Guangri finally came back.
Cui Mingchong said in a deep voice: "Lin Yun, come forward and listen to the seal!"
Lin Yun immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Although you are the concubine of the feudal lord Lin family, you are not allowed to be appointed as an official in the Daduan Dynasty, but you have led the people of Niubei Village to change people's livelihood, and contributed 100,000 catties of grain, and you have made great contributions to our Daduan Dynasty! So, This imperial envoy discussed with Mr. Fu Yin and decided to appoint you as the head of the Yucheng Internal Affairs Office!"
Lin Yun cursed in his heart, these two old bastards really plucked out their feathers, taking away 100,000 jins of 120,000 jins of grain at once.
And in order to stop his own mouth, he was given the position of chief executive.
On the side, Ma Ji was secretly happy. Lin Yun was named the head of the House of Internal Affairs, and it was under him that he served.
With their current relationship, wouldn't it be easier for them to discuss ways to make money if they become colleagues in the future?
Although Lin Yun was unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to be disrespectful and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you two adults for your kindness! The common people will do their best to live up to your kindness!"
However, Lin Yun understood that Qiu Guangri must have had his thoughts when he agreed to give him the position of chief, which made Lin Yun somewhat worried.
After all, as an ordinary citizen, he could not interact with the government on the surface, but it would be different if he became an official under Qiu Guangri.
It can be said that every move, word and deed of his future will be controlled by Qiu Guangri.
Qiu Guangri smiled and said: "Lin Yun, I have said that as long as you serve the court well, the court will never treat you badly!"
Lin Yun nodded and said, "Lord Qiu is right! It's just...what grade of official is this chief?"
He was curious, and the villagers around him were even more curious.
Qiu Guangri and Cui Mingchong looked at each other and immediately raised their heads and laughed.
Lin Yun was really ignorant about this question.
However, he really didn't know what kind of official the person in charge was because he had never heard of it.
Ma Ji quickly reminded in a low voice: "Master Lin, the person in charge is just a low-level official. If you have to classify him, he should be classified as the Zhima Official of the ninth rank!"
Lin Yun suddenly realized it, but he cursed in his heart.
"Damn it, these two old bastards took a hundred thousand kilograms of my grain, but only gave it to a ninth-grade sesame official? Send them away to beggars?"
Lin Yun cursed in his heart.
At this time, Qiu Guangri coughed slightly, covering up his embarrassment and said: "Don't dislike Guan'er for being young! As the saying goes, everything is fine.
It's difficult at the beginning. How many people want to enter the official career, but can't find the way? Although your boy has only been awarded a ninth-grade sesame official, he can still be regarded as entering an official career. As long as you work hard and with your ability, your future prospects are limitless! ”Kanshu La
Lin Yun understood that this was a way for superiors to make a bigger pie for subordinates.
Anything that is limitless, anything that has extraordinary abilities, it’s all bullshit.
Lin Yun smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand! The common people must work hard! Live up to your expectations!"
Afterwards, Cui Mingchong and Qiu Guangri sat back in the sedan and left.
The remaining officers and soldiers began to transport 100,000 catties of grain away.
I was busy until night before I was done.
As the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ma Ji naturally had to stay behind at this time. ..
After giving instructions to his men, he came to Lin Yun's mansion.
At this moment, Lin Yun was in the study, and the old village chief was sitting on the chair opposite him.
Lin Yun smiled and said, "You really opened my eyes today! You almost scared me to death!"
The old village chief rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "Sir, I really didn't think too much about it. You reminded me not to tell me the truth, but I'm afraid I'll remember it wrong! So I kept remembering the cellar in the center of the village. Forget it!"
Lin Yun nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is finally over! You have made a great contribution this time!"
The old village chief joked: "Young master Lin is so awesome! He is actually able to enter the official career. He will definitely become a high official in the future!"
"Hey, don't talk to me about official career! One hundred thousand kilograms of grain in exchange for such a humble official? If the imperial envoy hadn't spoken out today, I wouldn't have known there was such a position as a principal!"
"Master Lin, don't be too young!"
At this moment, Ma Ji's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Lin Yun and the old village chief looked out the door at the same time.
"Crunch!"
The door was pushed open, and Ma Ji walked in wearing official robes.
This was the first time he came to Lin Yun's residence wearing official robes.
"Mr. Ma, please stop teasing me! This time I am your subordinate, so you have to take good care of me!"
Lin Yun joked.
"What Mr. Fu Yin said makes sense. In today's world, if you want to get ahead, the only way is to become an official! Back then, Lin Xuan also spent a lot of money to get a casual job as a superintendent, and even from the ninth rank Not even! Isn’t he looking happy?”
Lin Yun nodded and said, "That's true! But, what kind of work do I, the boss, do on a daily basis?"
"We are just the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Yucheng. Whether there is work or not depends entirely on my word! If Mr. Lin is the head of the Household Department, he will be responsible for a lot more work!"
Lin Yun's eyes lit up and he said, "That's great! Based on my relationship with Manager Ma, I shouldn't be assigned any work, right?"
Ma Ji smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Lin only needs to go to Yucheng Mansion a few times a month to order some mao! You can also get dozens of taels of silver every year, so why not!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Lin Yun nodded with satisfaction. He was really too lazy to be an official, especially a busier official position.
