Lu Hongniang looked at the "Yunzhou Weekly" in her hand, her eyes filled with tears, and she trembled as she smoothed down the "Yunzhou Weekly".
"Aunt! Aunt! You are going to be the Supervisor of the Jingjie Office! This is a fourth-rank position! Fourth-rank position!" As soon as Lu Qing got the news, he rushed to Lu Hongniang's residence regardless of anything.
Lu Qing smiled from ear to ear, his face full of joy: "Aunt, you are so amazing! You are the highest-ranking official in our Lu family!"
Although the girls of the Lu family are very powerful, the boys are not good at studying. Although they can use their connections to get a position, they have no real power.
Many of the Lu family's sons-in-law are officials, but aren't they still sons-in-law? !
Lu Qing was so excited that he danced with joy and circled around Lu Hongniang: "I knew it, I knew that Duke Yun would not break his promise! Duke Yun is really courageous! She really dares to carry out official system reform!"
Lu Qing's eyes seemed to glow, and his admiration for Duke Yun increased even more!
I just want to ask, who else in this world can act as quickly as Duke Yun? !
Lu Qing could almost see a bright and beautiful future: "Aunt, now you are only in charge of three counties. When Duke Yun controls all the lands, you will be the head of the whole country!"
Wow, that’s so awesome just thinking about it!
Lu Hongniang was no less excited than her nephew.
She believed in Duke Yun, but she didn't expect that Duke Yun would trust her so much and use her so much!
This is the first time in history that a Jingjie Office has been appointed! And it is held by a woman.
Even with a little thought, one could imagine how many people would be paying attention to this matter. If he did not do well, it would definitely affect Duke Yun.
Lu Hongniang bit her lip tightly, her eyes were extremely firm: "I will definitely not let Duke Yun down!"
With the distribution of Yunzhou Weekly in various counties of the Great Zhou, the news that Gu Nanxi adopted the new economic boundary method and conducted the first open recruitment swept across the country like a tsunami.
In Henan County, the fields were bare and crows were perched on the branches, croaking loudly.
A tall and thin clerk was measuring the fields with a bow.
His trouser legs were rolled up tightly, his face was thin, revealing his high cheekbones, but his movements were extremely agile.
The one cooperating with him was an elderly clerk: "Old Meng, why don't we just forget it and follow the others' example and fill in the previous data."
The old clerk sighed and said, "I know you are good and you can measure accurately, but the higher-ups have been paid. If you submit the real data, not only will you not get any benefits, but you will also be scolded by the county lieutenant. It's the same every year, why don't you change at all?"
Old Meng pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before he said, "The higher-ups have set a tax quota for the county. They concealed the land, which resulted in a decrease in the number of taxable lands, and the tax per acre would be higher. This is a great harm to the country and the people."
The old clerk sat down on the ridge of the field, panting: "So what? You are just a low-ranking clerk, what can you do? It's good enough if you can support your family."
Lao Meng knew that the old clerk was telling the truth, but he just couldn't accept it. He was obviously right...
"Dad! Dad! Dad!" A half-grown young man, waving something in his hand, was running in the field with his feet spread out, looking like a madman.
Lao Meng stood up in a hurry, his heart pounding. "Erlang, slow down! Be careful not to fall. But is there something wrong at home?!"
Meng Erlang ran to his father with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his lips trembling constantly, his throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and he couldn't speak at all.
He was so anxious that he was crying. He could only spread out the newspaper in his hand and signal his father to read the contents quickly.
Old Meng took a closer look and saw that his son was holding the latest edition of the "Yunzhou Weekly" with the three large characters "Jingjie Fa" (Economic and Boundary Law) on it attracting a lot of attention.
Meng Erlang saw that his father understood, so he quickly turned the newspaper to the page with the recruitment notice and said with a trembling voice: "Dad! Look at the officer! Look at the officer!"
Meng Erlang did not dare to think about being in charge of the three counties' boundary offices and doing office work, but he was confident that his father's ability was enough to serve as an assessment officer.
Lao Meng's head was buzzing and he felt like he was walking on clouds. He shouldn't believe everything he saw.
"I, I don't have the status of a scholar!"
If you want to be an official, you must take the imperial examination. Lao Meng knows nothing about writing poetry and only loves arithmetic, so it is impossible for him to pass the examination.
Meng Erlang's tears streamed down his face. This was a chance sent from heaven, a chance encounter that only comes once in a hundred years!
"Dad, we won't test you on poetry, only arithmetic. We won't ask about your identity, place of origin, age, or background!"
Lao Meng's body was trembling slightly. He was already 46 years old this year, and he thought that his life was over.
But now, there is an opportunity for myself and even my whole family to achieve a class leap!
Lao Meng actually backed off a bit: "Is this true? Can I do this?"
Meng Erlang encouraged him, "Who in the county is better than you in this area? Why don't you give it a try?"
Lao Meng: "But I heard that Duke Yun is cruel and violent. She is a traitor."
Meng Erlang: "If she is really cruel and brutal, why do we only see refugees fleeing to the three counties, but not the people of the three counties fleeing to the south?"
Lao Meng was shaken: "But I am from Henan Prefecture, will Duke Yun use me?"
Meng Erlang's eyes sparkled: "Dad, Duke Yun said that he is looking for talents from all walks of life! She is spending a fortune to buy horse bones!"
Lao Meng took a deep breath, looked at the exam time, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go!" (End of this chapter)
