Chapter 1232 Do you want to be the Magistrate of Huayang County?
"Huh?"
Manbao stuck his head out of the house and saw County Magistrate Fu standing under the window, looking worried.
He had just been rejected by the Ministry of Personnel and was in a bad mood. When he got home, he wanted to talk to his daughter, but Manbao happened to be in the room.
Manbao was very curious: "Why was it detained?"
County Magistrate Fu shook his head and sighed, "I've asked the officials from the Ministry of Personnel, but they were very busy and didn't tell me."
After saying that, he looked at Manbao.
Fu Wenyun asked her father through the window, "Dad, have you ever thought about asking my father-in-law to help find out?"
County Magistrate Fu frowned and said, "We just went to the government office two days ago to register the house in your name."
It would be fine to ask earlier or later, but now is obviously not the right time.
Moreover, County Magistrate Fu was a little worried. "Do you think that my in-laws' collision offended the Queen Mother, so..."
Manbao said, "That's impossible. The Queen Mother is seriously ill now. How can she have the time to take care of these things?"
County Magistrate Fu's eyes rolled. "Is the Madam's illness serious?"
Manbao nodded, "It's not light anyway."
After all, she was working in Jishiditang, and there was also a royal doctor named Zheng in the palace, so she should be more informed about the news.
Combined with what Bai Shan and the others said when they got home, Man Bao blinked and said, "Could it be that the Ministry of Personnel wants to change Master Fu's position?"
County Magistrate Fu's eyes immediately lit up, "What do you mean?"
"Because of the Yizhou King case, many positions are now vacant in the court, especially in Jiannan Province. After all, Your Excellency has served in Luojiang County, so it is possible that he will be transferred back."
County Magistrate Fu was struck by lightning. "Come back to Luojiang County again?"
Fu Wenyun heard the voice was wrong and immediately said through the window: "Father, Manbao means to return to Jiannan Road. You have been promoted to Chief Secretary, so you will not return to Luojiang County."
County Magistrate Fu heaved a sigh of relief, then his eyes rolled and his mind became active, "I heard that the County Magistrate of Huayang County has made great contributions this time and will be transferred back to the capital..."
Although the Huayang County Magistrate was also a County Magistrate, half a rank lower than him as a Chief Clerk, he was the County Magistrate of a higher-ranking county. If he did well, he could be promoted to Sima or Chief Clerk of a higher-ranking state in the future...
This is much more convenient than his current position as the Chief Secretary of Xiazhou, and his life will be much better.
What Manbao was thinking about was the temper of County Magistrate Tang. He was afraid that the next County Magistrate would not have an easy job, and that County Magistrate Fu might not be able to suppress so many powerful families in Yizhou City.
If the Ministry of Personnel and the imperial court were not blind, they would not have allowed County Magistrate Fu to go to Huayang County.
However, after looking at the happy County Magistrate Fu, Manbao said nothing.
Fu Wenyun also thought it was impossible for her father to do this, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she quietly asked Manbao to help find out. "You know a lot of people, so help my father find out what happened. If he changed the place, it's fine. But if he offended the higher-ups for some other reason and was punished intentionally, we can find out and deal with it sooner."
Man Bao agreed and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Sister Fu, I'll ask Bai Shan to help find out later."
However, it would be best to inquire about the Ministry of Personnel's affairs with Liu Huan, because the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel have the most dealings with each other.
After receiving Bai Shan's entrustment, Liu Huan did not ask his grandfather, but went to find his elder brother Liu Yi. He was the most informed about this kind of information. Even if he didn't know, he could ask the people in the Ministry of Personnel, because he was working as a clerk in the Ministry of Personnel, which was very convenient.
Liu Yi found out the next day. Seeing his silly brother happily running out, he asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Yin Huo. We're going to the stables to see the horses today."
Liu Yi frowned, "Didn't you walk on the snow?"
"I'm not the one buying it, it's Bai Shan and the others. We're just following them for reference." After saying that, he ran away.
Liu Yi did not stop him. He shook his head and decided to go out to find friends to drink and talk poetry. However, before he even left the house, he was called to the study by his grandfather.
Minister Liu was very pleased with his grandson, so he didn't try to coax him like he did with Liu Huan. He said straight to the point, "Tang Zhihe is going back to Beijing."
Liu Yi blinked and said, "Just go back. He will probably go to the Ministry of Justice when he comes back. What does it have to do with him?"
Liu Yi paused at this thought and asked hesitantly, "Then the magistrate of Huayang County..."
Minister Liu nodded slightly and said, "I've talked to Minister Li about this. He thinks you have great potential, so maybe you can give it a try."
This Minister Li was of course not from the Ministry of War, but from their Ministry of Personnel.
Deep down, Liu Yi was a little reluctant to leave the capital, mainly because his relatives and friends were all in the capital, and he would be alone if he went to Yizhou.
He is not like Tang Zhihe, who has Yang Heshu nearby.
"Grandfather, isn't Yizhou a hot potato right now?"
Minister Liu glanced at him and said, "What do you mean by 'hot potato'? It's clearly a hot potato. With the King of Yizhou gone, a huge mountain has been lifted from your head. Old Lord Tang and I have inquired. Tang Zhihe is very good at dealing with people. He and Your Majesty have petitioned to have all the confiscated land and property placed in the hands of the county government. Currently, only a portion of the confiscated land from the King of Yizhou's mansion has been distributed to the deserters who have fled into Yizhou. There are still a large number of refugees who have yet to be resettled."
Minister Liu said, "Now that you have taken on this position, you can start arranging this matter. This will not only win the hearts of the people but also allow you to achieve great things. Don't you think it's a good opportunity?"
"But won't this offend a lot of people?" Liu Yi said, "I heard that even the Ji family's land was seized this time. When I take office, they will definitely use their connections to take it away. Should I give it to them or not?"
Upon hearing this, Minister Liu frowned slightly, glanced at his eldest grandson disapprovingly, and said, "So, do you want to give it to me or not?"
Liu Yi was silent for a moment and then said, "I don't want to give it to you."
"Then I won't give it to you," Minister Liu's expression brightened a little. "If you want great achievements, you have to pay a high price. Do you know why you entered the court only two years later than Tang Zhihe and Yang Heshu, but you haven't progressed as fast as them? It's because you've been too restricted."
Liu Yi lowered his head and accepted the teaching.
Minister Liu said, "If you want to go, I'll make an appointment with Minister Li to recommend you to the emperor. His Majesty will want to see you later."
Now that you've said this, how can I not go?
Liu Yi complained in his heart and responded softly.
He was about to leave when he felt something was wrong. He looked up and said, "Grandfather, when did Tang Zhihe become so considerate? He actually gave such a great credit to his successor."
He coughed lightly and said, "Isn't he afraid that his successor will use the land he seized to do favors with the local gentry and wealthy?"
Minister Liu raised his eyelids and said, "So the person who takes office must be carefully selected."
Liu Yi: ...So the pit is waiting for me here.
He glared and asked, "In just a few years, Tang Zhihe has become so powerful?"
Minister Liu said, "I'm afraid this wasn't Tang Zhihe's work. Yang Heshu has also been in Yizhou City helping with post-war affairs during this time."
Liu Yi understood.
He couldn't help but grumble, "I really don't understand why he wants to be a county magistrate."
Minister Liu sighed inwardly, "This is Yang Changbo's cleverness. When he returns to the capital this time and his achievements are rewarded, I'm afraid his achievements will even surpass Tang Zhihe's. Not only in the capital, but also among the children of the aristocratic families, if we take a look around, there will be almost no one who can compare with Yang Changbo."
