However, to Jian Xiu's surprise, Zhang Feimo nodded.
"I remember every word that Fourth Aunt said. And it is precisely because I remember that that I made this decision."
"I hope the people in my county can live and work in peace and contentment. If the county is good, our Dashun Dynasty will be better, right?"
Jian Xiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
After a while, he stepped forward, touched his head, and said:
"You used to be as tall as Auntie's knees, but now you are a head taller than Auntie. Auntie supports your decision very much. Remember to write to Auntie."
Finally, Zhang Feimo walked up to the two brothers, stretched out his fist, and gently hit their chests.
"Wait for Brother Five to come back!"
"Remember to write us when you get there." Chi Feixuan spoke first.
"And me. You forgot about me when you wrote the letter." Chi Feiyi said.
Finally, it was my two younger sisters Zhang Feifang and Chi Feilan...

Heshan County.
Ever since County Magistrate Xu retired, the position of County Magistrate of Heshan County has remained vacant.
For a while, the whole county was caught in rumors.
Some people who were more informed started discussing the matter on the street.
"Do you know how old the county magistrate of Heshan County is?"
"At least you have to be around 30 years old."
"Yes, guess again."
"Then you must be four or five years old. After that, you can stay for another five years, and you will definitely move up."
"Only Magistrate Xu would be so stupid as to stay in our county for so many years."
"Who would be so stupid to come to this remote place?"
"That's right, both are right. Our new county magistrate is only 16 years old." The woman who asked the question said again.
As soon as the words fell, the crowd exploded.
The 16-year-old county magistrate is really unheard of.
"I think your news is wrong?"
"It's absolutely true!" the woman said confidently.
"He's only 16 years old, what does he know? He's still a county magistrate. But even his bones have been eaten by others, leaving only the residue."
One of the ladies who was dressed a little more luxuriously said.
This person is none other than Wang Yuanwai's wife, Li Yayu.
No one in the entire Heshan County knew that Wang Yuanwai's brother was the Minister of Personnel in the capital, a fourth-rank official.
So let alone ordinary villagers like them, even the county magistrate dared to provoke him.
When County Magistrate Xu was here before, he was controlled by Mr. Wang everywhere.
Mr. Wang was not so bad, he just extorted some money from the villagers of Heshan County.
His son Wang Zhongjin is the same, and can be described as the bully of Heshan County.
Rob women, kill people, commit crimes, do evil...
County Magistrate Xu had made moves on him many times when he was here, but each time he made them worse.
In the end, County Magistrate Xu had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
Of course, he turned a blind eye at first, but after a long time, County Magistrate Xu became scared.
It was as if Mr. Wang was the magistrate of Heshan County.
As outsiders say, he was lucky to retire safely.
He had been the magistrate of Heshan County for six years, which was considered a long time.
In the past, when a county magistrate came to Heshan County, he was transferred after one year in office. But more often he was killed after one year in office.
Even the shortest is up to one month.
Of course, most of them were not transferred, but died in Heshan County.
Thinking of this, the villagers of Heshan County began to fall in love with the county magistrate who had never met him before at the age of 16.
After Li Yayu left, several people started discussing in a low voice.
"The shortest term as county magistrate in Heshan County was more than three months. Guess how long our 16-year-old county magistrate will be in office?"
"I think it should be able to last for a month."
"It's good that he managed to resign and go home, so he can keep his life. If he loses his life, it would be a waste."
"But, studying hard for several years is a joke. Nowadays, if you want to send a child to college, everyone's life is tight."
"It's okay now. There is a poor school. In the past, it was not so cheap to go to the school. In the past, the tuition alone was several dozen taels a year.
I endured like this for several years, but ended up losing my life as a county magistrate after only a few months. It was worth it just thinking about it. ”
"......"
It was amidst these remarks that Zhang Feimo entered the government.
But when he saw the surroundings of the government office, his brows suddenly furrowed.
This is not just a little bit poor, this is extremely poor.
It is called a government office, but there is moss everywhere under the corners of the walls.
The tables in the back hall were broken and shabby, and there was dust everywhere, with no one cleaning them.
Looking at the entire back court, there was no one else except a woman in her teens.
Even though she, the county magistrate, came, she just nodded and greeted him.
He just did whatever he was supposed to do, as if he was a transparent person.
"Where are my advisor and the county magistrate?" This was Zhang Feimo's first sentence.
The question was obviously directed at the woman in her 50s.
Hearing this, the woman put down the rag in her arms and replied expressionlessly:
"This is the back yamen. I am not in charge of the front yamen. My lord, please ask me and I will know."
"Who brought you here?" Zhang Feimo asked again.
In his eyes, he would never tolerate people who didn't take him, the county magistrate, seriously.
There is a saying that goes "kill the chicken to scare the monkey", which seems to be a very despicable way, but in a sense it is very effective.
Since this woman is so tactful, don't blame him.
The woman's surname is Mo, and her name is Mo Heimei. She is a villager from Heshan County.
Her husband was a steward in Wang Yuanwai's house, and she also had a job in the back office.
All in all, the family can be said to be living a pretty comfortable life.
She had worked in the back office for many years, and even Magistrate Xu was polite when he spoke to her.
I didn't expect that this brat would dare to speak to me in such a tone.
Thinking of this, Mo Heimei threw the rag in her room casually on the table and asked, "What do you mean by asking this, sir?"
"Oh, I think you are more like an adult than me? Do you know who you are talking to? I think you don't even know who is the host and who is the subordinate?"
After saying this, Zhang Feimo walked towards the front yamen.
