Chapter 134 Recommended Candidates
Lu Chenyang dismissed the official for dereliction of duty. Dismissal is fine, but Lu Chenyang was so ruthless that he wrote the matter into an official document and sent it to all the counties in Shu. He even sent a copy to the King of Nanyang.
Not only that, Lu Chenyang also wrote a letter to King Nanyang, in which he bluntly accused King Nanyang.
Look at the kind of people you have found. They neglect their duties and can't even be a good official. How stupid are you to choose such a thing!
King Nanyang was furious!
He was already in Quzhou, but Lu Chenyang didn't let him go and even wrote letters to mock him!
The dismissed official: “…”
He doesn't care about a small official position, but he cares about his reputation.
Now the whole Shu area knows that he was dismissed from office by Lu Chenyang for dereliction of duty.
Because Lu Chenyang was particularly famous, and he was the first person Lu Chenyang dismissed from office, he also became famous.
A scholar may not care about high positions and generous salaries, but there is no one who does not care about reputation.
All in all, the one thing that almost all scholars cannot resist the most is to be remembered in history.
And he achieved something similar—a legacy of eternal infamy.
He was in a terrible state of mind. This was the most heartbreaking thing he could do.
All the officials in Shu were nervous, fearing that they would become the second one. They started to work hard and their work efficiency was greatly improved.
Lu Chenyang expressed great satisfaction.
Then there were the various candidates nominated by the county magistrate of Yanquan County.
In addition to those who had dinner that day, the teacher of the Yanquan County School heard about it and recommended several people to him, all of whom were students of the county school.
Let me tell you the most interesting thing. Shen An, Shen Shiqian's uncle, heard that Shen Shiqian could recommend candidates, so he went to him and recommended himself.
Shen Shiqian: “…”
Shen Shiqian was completely speechless. He felt that his second uncle's brain was getting worse and worse. Where on earth did he get the nerve to think that Lu Chenyang could choose him as the county magistrate!
But the wrong person was Shen Shiqian, because Shen An didn't want to be a county magistrate.
After Shen Shiqian rejected him, he immediately said: "If you don't want to be a county magistrate, you can go to the county school to be a teacher. With my knowledge, I am qualified to teach children, right? The adults have punished me for what happened before, and I have reformed myself now. Now that the adults are looking for people, I can be used by them, right?"
Shen Shiqian thought about it and mentioned it to Lu Chenyang. Shen An's ability was indeed more than enough to be an enlightenment teacher. You know, the county school is always short of teachers. Now that the people in Yanquan County are living a better life, more people are sending their children to school, and all the schools are very busy.
Lu Chenyang thought about it and decided to reject Chen An. He was afraid that Chen An would lead the promising young people in Yanquan County astray. If he raised someone like him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Shen An: “…”
Finally, Lu Chenyang selected a scholar named Zhou Lin to be the magistrate of Yanquan County. Zhou Lin was recommended by the teacher of the county school and was his classmate.
Zhou Lin was only thirty years old and came from a poor family. He opened a private school in his hometown village to educate children. However, the teacher at the county school highly praised him, saying that he was flexible and pragmatic. He even sent several of his articles to Lu Chenyang for review. Lu Chenyang was quite satisfied and decided to give him a chance.
Yan Xing came to see him just in time, and Lu Chenyang was reading Zhou Lin's article.
Yan Xing took it and looked at it. "This article is okay, isn't it? It's a little worse than yours."
Gao Ming listened from the side and looked at him speechlessly.
Gao Ming said, "Your Excellency, this is asking too much. How talented is our master? If you look at all the scholars in Dagan, there is not a single one alive who can compare to him."
When it comes to studying for the imperial examination, Lu Chenyang represents the best, the top-notch one, and anyone who meets him feels intimidated.
