Chapter 323: Master Wu's Promotion



Qingyang Academy was busy preparing for this study tour. The situation in Yuncheng was gradually getting back on track.

Wu Shiye went from being Qiao Yunqing's strategist to becoming a seventh-rank county magistrate.

He and Master Zeng both had the same title of Jinshi, but they were just unlucky and had no way to get a job, so they could only serve as counselors for others and wait for the right time to act.

Meeting Qiao Yunqing was their greatest luck. The Qiao family treated him sincerely. He also treated Qiao Yunqing with all his heart. It was just that I thought I would get what I wanted so soon.

As it happens, there are a lot of vacancies in Yuncheng now, and there are only four or five county magistrates. Qiao Yunqing is short of people everywhere. So he reported his name to the Ministry of Revenue and prepared to send him to work in the local area.

Master Wu was not aware of this beforehand.

When he received the order to take up the post, he was quite excited. Qiao Yunqing secured for him a position as a seventh-rank county magistrate. From then on, he officially entered the officialdom of Dajing.

The incident in Songjia Village further strengthened his determination to become an official. If he had been an official long ago, how could the Chen family dare to humiliate his clan members so unscrupulously?

Master Wu was quite moved and wiped his face with his hand.

The implication of his words is that he is reluctant to leave the Qiao family and Qiao Yunqing.

"Sir, if it was before, I would have been very happy, but now I feel reluctant to do so!"

Qiao Yunqing's reaction was very calm. He had agreed at the beginning that if there was a chance, he would support them. Now he was just fulfilling his promise.

At present, Yuncheng is short of people, so letting him go down to be the county magistrate is just to help him in another place. To outsiders, they are still in the same group.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but tease him, "How about I submit another memorial to help you get this position?"

Master Wu:.......

Sir, are you really here? Do you understand the polite words used in official circles?

", What? You agree to it by not saying anything?"

"No, no, no, sir, that's not what we meant..."

"Alright, I was just joking. You and I have worked together for a long time and have a special bond. This is a rare opportunity, so I can't let it go. I can't let you guys hang around me all the time, so just go down there and do your job well! Just think more about the people in the future and don't forget your original intention."

"Thank you for your support, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Master Wu stepped back, then realized why Mr. Zeng didn't move.

Jian saw no one around, so he quietly pulled the other person.

"You and I entered the palace at the same time. What arrangements did the Lord make for you this time?"

Master Zeng stroked his goatee and said, "My Lord originally wanted to find me a position, but I turned him down."

"Why is that? Didn't we agree to become officials when we get a chance?"

"If I were still your age, I would be happy to do it. Unfortunately, I am already in my forties and don't want to bother anymore. I feel more comfortable staying with you. You are different. You are young and strong. You are ready to work hard. When you go down, you can help you solve more problems."

What's more, if you and I leave at the same time, what will you do? We are already short of manpower. Mo has been helping you with your matters. Even if we throw everything to him now, he can completely replace you in three to five days. But I haven't found a suitable person to take over. I have privately mentioned to the legal person that we should wait for two more years."

Master Wu felt guilty and blamed himself for ignoring the adults' situation.

"I am sorry, sir!"

Master Zeng smiled and comforted him, "That's not what I meant. The fact that he let you go shows that the master is happy to see it happen.

Look at those capable people in the Qiao Mansion. After they have gained a certain amount of experience, which one of them is not sent out to explore the world?"

This is the truth. Manager Shunzi, Zhang Yun, Zhang Jun, Zhang Hu, and him, all of them were young people recruited by the Qiao family. Now they have been released and made a name for themselves.

If it were in other big families, they would not allow servants to escape from the control of their masters. They would be suppressed and exploited for their whole lives.

Master Zeng said earnestly, "The old lady has transferred a lot of people from the Qiao family, which is enough for the time being. As for the vacancies outside, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely reassign people. You can just be at ease and do your job as a county magistrate."

Remember, don't go the wrong way, you know the adults' temper!"

During the time they worked together, the atmosphere in the Qiao family was so good that the two of them got along well, and Master Zeng took good care of him.

Master Zeng's sincere words really showed that he was not being distant with him. Master Wu was not ungrateful.

"Um!"

Master Zeng had also been confused about the Qiao family hiring so many new people, and had expressed his concerns to Qiao Yunqing many times.

"Why don't you wait until we have enough people before releasing them all? If we are short of people right now, we can go back and buy some."

Qiao Yunqing said: "We are not short of strong people, but people who can manage people and have skills. If we find a good one, we will hire him. Don't be bound by his status."

"In this world, having more people means having more food. We still have enough at home."

Under Qiao Xin's influence, he no longer lived on his monthly salary. With the addition of his wife's shop and Qiao Xin's subsidies, he had a considerable business.

His mother was unwilling to help him manage things, and his wife sometimes needed advice from him, so the more people he had on hand, the better.

Before entering the Qiao family, Master Zeng had also followed several masters. Although the time was not long, he had seen all kinds of people. He could not say that he had a keen eye, but he was also an experienced person. However, he could still see the character of ordinary people.

He picked and chose only seven or eight of the people who came to seek refuge with him, and then sent them to Qiao Yunqing.

Qiao Yunqing was also very straightforward, he had people sign the indenture on the spot. After they kowtowed, they became master and servant. Unlike Qiao Xin, he never refused those who were willing to sign a life contract, and he also gladly accepted those who only signed a living contract for the time being, and asked Master Zeng to arrange for them to do the work on the spot.

It's just that the arrangements are different!

Master Zeng looked at the assigned tasks and sighed comfortably. He glanced at the pickled radish and brown rice sent from the kitchen and wanted to ask his parents how they concluded that there was no shortage of food at home.

Qiao Yunqing looked at the warehouse and was a little worried. "Xiao Mo, hasn't Shunzi brought back the grain yet?"

Mo Jiaquan said: "Second Master, Shunzi has just delivered 5,000 kilograms of grain in half a month. The team is still with the old lady. It's not the harvest season now, and grain is not that easy to buy.......

I heard that Nanliang has suffered another disaster and there is a commotion! How about asking the old lady?"

He turned his head to look at the other person, then silently looked away for a while, turned around, and finally had to ask for help from his family.
