In March of the 25th year of Chongzhen, at the highest point of the gentle slope southeast of Huagou Village, Runhe Township, Shuangliu County, Chengdu Prefecture, the magistrate Sun Kedi put his hands on his hips and pointed at the distance and around him with the other hand, explaining something to the people around him.

March is the season of spring rain in the south. The sky is drizzling. Looking around, the fields are covered with rain and mist. The tender greens are all over the mountains and fields, and the flowers are blooming in the fields. There are farmers wearing straw straw hats driving the ox to work. The whole scene is like an elegant painting, which makes people deeply intoxicated.

"Yu Ming, I'm afraid you will have to work hard during the next period of time! If the county government does not have much business, I will find time to come here to help you!

This season is a critical period for seedling cultivation and transplantation. In order to prevent villagers from slackling, the county magistrate must be here to stay. First, it is to facilitate management and surveillance, and second, it is possible to organize inspections!

After you stay for 30 days, this official will arrange for County Chief Zhao to come and replace you!

This matter is related to the development plan of our Shuangliu County in the next century, and also to the income of the people under our rule. As the imperial court officials, we must treat it as the first-class official service and must not be ignored!"

Sun Kedi turned his head and looked at an official younger than him, and said solemnly.

In order to make it easier to walk, he tucked a corner of the blue official uniform he was wearing on his belt, a pair of soapy thin-soled fast boots were covered with mud, and the white trousers also splashed a lot of mud.

In the 20th year of Chongzhen, Sun Kedi, who was already 26 years old, was sent by some officials to Shuangliu County, Chengdu Prefecture as the magistrate. It has been exactly four years since then.

After Sun Kedi was in the trial, he was observing the government of the Ministry of Revenue for less than a year. He was in the critical period of the large-scale immigration plan initiated by the court. There were a large number of officials and literati. After obtaining the consent of Sun Chuanting, his father, who was the second assistant to the cabinet, Sun Kedi resolutely joined this grand plan.

I didn't expect this to last for five years.

During these five years, Sun Kedi, together with several friends he met in the Imperial College, threw himself down and lowered his figure, went deep into the grassroots people, and did every government affairs at hand seriously, striving to enable every contact person to arrive in another place safely, and provide suggestions for the subsequent cumbersome resettlement. He accumulated deep expectations among the people and the officialdom, and won the praise of most people.

Logically speaking, five years of hard work and outstanding political achievements should be awarded higher official positions and better places when the immigration plan is roughly completed. However, no one expected that Sun Kedi's first stop in the prefecture of office was placed in Chengdu Prefecture and he only served as the magistrate.

This made all his friends feel deeply unfair about him, and they generally believe that the emperor was dissatisfied with the prime minister and deliberately suppressed his son to warn Sun Chuanting. Otherwise, why did Wen Kan, the son of the former prime minister, be promoted to the fourth rank, but the current prime minister, only awarded a magistrate?

Sun Ketui, who knew the inside story, dismissed it calmly. After receiving the appointment, he immediately stopped and went to Shuangliu with his friend Zheng Yuandao, who was also awarded the position of Shuangliu Prime Minister.

The reason why Sun Kedi had no complaints about the appointment of an official was that he received a letter from his father.

In the letter, Sun Chuanting expressed satisfaction with his actions over the past five years, but at the same time he clearly told Sun Kedi that when the Ministry of Personnel was appointed as an official, he planned to give him a higher position, and that the place he was appointed was also a prosperous place in Jiangnan, but in the end he was blocked by Sun Chuanting.

In the letter, Sun Chuanting admitted that as the son of the cabinet's assistant, his every move was noticed by everyone. If he rashly promoted too much just because he achieved some political achievements in immigration affairs, it would not be a good thing for his future career.

Although Wen Kan was awarded the title of a fourth-rank high-ranking official, it was because he was older, earlier, more experienced, and his political achievements were real, which was incomparable to Sun's defeat of the enemy.

If Sun Ke is allowed to release him as a landlord and achieve outstanding political achievements in office, then he will be promoted in the future and no matter how much others have any opinions, he will have nothing to say.

In short, Sun Chuanting hopes that his son will devote himself and devote himself to government affairs and lay a solid foundation for a greater future in the future.

As the eldest son of the Sun family, the burden of Sun defeating the enemy and maintaining the glory of the family is not light.

Over the years, Sun Chuanting's two concubines gave birth to three sons and two daughters for him, and Sun Kedi's wife also gave birth to one son and one daughter for him. The Sun family, which had not been prosperous, suddenly became prosperous. If this momentum continues, in a few decades, Sun Chuanting's branch will become a big family.

A prosperous population is of course a great thing for a family, because this is not only a matter of inheriting the family line, but also means that more talents may emerge. Only with more talents can the family's glory and wealth be continued to the greatest extent.

After Sun Chuanting retired, his honor, disgrace, rise and fall within decades was entrusted to Sun Kedi, which was also the reason why Sun Chuanting deliberately suppressed his eldest son.

He hopes that this promising eldest son will go more steadily in his career, not to make too big a move, and to accumulate more political achievements and fame, and will naturally be promoted and reused in the future.

Sun Chuanting is only fifty-eight years old this year, and there are still twelve years before he retires. When he retires, Sun Kedi was just over 40 years old. As long as there is no big accident, there is no problem with Sun Kedi entering the cabinet before he was fifty. One school and two serving as a counselor's office are a rare event in history and can be a story that will be remembered forever.

As for who will promote Sun Chuang En to the cabinet in the future, Sun Chuanting will never mention it, which is a big taboo.

Although the current emperor is tolerant and kind, he will touch the Tian family's reverse scale when it comes to that position.

If Yue Fei had not written a letter to ask Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty to establish the crown prince as soon as possible, he would not have been framed to death.

However, Sun Chuanting and other important officials knew that the emperor was not very enthusiastic about power.

At the end of the last convening of the cabinet ministers, the emperor was even half-true and half-false. When their old ministers retired and returned home, he also planned to hand over the throne to the crown prince, and then take Zhou Hou and others to travel around the world with their health, and live in the forest, living a happy journey.

The important officials chose to remain silent about the emperor's topic, and even Lu Xiangsheng, who had always been loyal and honest, dared not take the lead.

The meaning expressed in Sun Ketui's letter to his father was naturally clear. What he lacked now is his political achievements and his qualifications were indeed too shallow. The achievements he had achieved before were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the boss.
