Chapter 951 Exceptional promotion

Nian Xinlan didn't know what Chu Huan meant, but she bowed and said, "I don't know what the adults have to give me. The students have no strengths. They just know some writing and ink. After reading a few articles, if the adults have to give me instructions, the students will do their best."

"You have not just read a few books." Chu Huan smiled and said, "There are many scholars, but there are few people who are as brave as you. If you understand the truth like you, I will not see too many people." After a pause, my expression became solemn, and I said slowly: "Mr. Cao County was dismissed, and Beiyuan County lacked a parent official. I asked you to be the magistrate of this county. Do you dare?"

As soon as this said, I was shocked everywhere. Nian Xinlan opened her mouth but couldn't speak. She felt that she had heard it wrong.

Chu Huan smiled faintly and asked, "Why, don't you dare?"

"Sir, you... are you talking about letting students be the magistrate of Beiyuan County?" After a while, Nian Xinlan recovered and said in disbelief: "Student... did the students hear it wrong?"

"You heard it right, this is what I mean." Chu Huan said slowly: "I will order you to be the magistrate of Beiyuan County. I will only ask if you dare?"

"Sir, student..." Nian Xinlan was caught off guard, only to think Chu Huan was a little whimsical, "Student is dull, sir... are you kidding? This... this is not in line with the system of the court, students... students are just scholars and have no great fame...!" He felt even more and more incredible.

"The system of the court naturally exists, but it is extremely difficult to do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time. The situation in Xiguan is unusual now, so naturally we cannot stick to the rules." Chu Huan said: "I am asking you once, do you dare to be this official?"

Nian Xinlan saw Chu Huan's face, serious and serious, and seemed not to be joking. After hesitating for a moment, his expression became firm. He gritted his teeth and said, "There is nothing that students dare not. If... if... if the adults really dare to give this official, the student... would dare to do it. The adults are not afraid of letting scholars become county magistrates, what's the point of fear for students?"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Nian Xinlan, I admire your courage. Now I am an official in Xiguan. What I want is a person like you who dares to make a fortune. Okay, you can go to the county government office with me and get the official seal and hand it over to you."

Nian Xinlan finally confirmed that Chu Huan was not joking and bowed: "Sir, wait!"

"Oh?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "Have you regretted it?"

"Since the student agrees, he will not regret it." Nian Xinlan said seriously: "But if the student wants to be this official, the adults must agree to the student's request."

“What are the requirements?”

"Reorganization of officials is the first priority." Nian Xinlan said: "The county government is the mind of the entire Beiyuan County. If his mind is broken, Beiyuan County will not be able to get better. If you want to treat the entire Beiyuan County, you must first start the operation from the county government. Today's county government, including the county magistrate Cao, who has just been dismissed by the adults, has not been in office for a long time. The students know that many people in this county government have spent money to do errands. If there are such borers in the county government from top to bottom, the students will not be able to become this official."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "I understand. Are you going to clean up the county government?"

"It must be cleaned up." Nian Xinlan said seriously: "If you want students to do things in Kitahara, you must give them this right."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "You are the county magistrate of Beiyuan. How to clean up the county government? This is your business. Even if you let go, I will support you when you have something to do. However, I also have a bad word in front of you. You keep saying that you should do things for the people. I hope you don't forget your words. I asked for something wrong. I was dismissed from office and exiled. But if your actions in the future make the people complain, I will not want to be so polite to him."

Nian Xinlan raised her eyebrows and said, "If the student becomes like him once, even if the adults cut off the student's head, the student will never complain."

"It is good to do things with decisiveness, but don't be too voluntary." Chu Huan said seriously: "I am promoting you today because I believe you have the courage to change the current situation in Beiyuan... Nian Xinlan, you should follow me to the county government to take up your post. I have something to tell you to do."

Nian Xinlan finally knelt down on the ground at this time and said respectfully: "Sir, obey the order!"

Nian Xinlan followed Chu Huan back to the county government. Before the people on the street seemed to have come back from their surprise, they knew that Chu Huan's team had disappeared, so someone couldn't help but say, "This...what is this governor going to do? How can...how can a mere scholar be the county magistrate? This...this is really unheard of...!"

"Did Juren say that Governor Chu should let you become a county magistrate?" someone beside him joked.

"I have been a scholar for many years. Is the scholar's knowledge better than me that year?" The old scholar who complained shouted: "A scholar can be the county magistrate, so how can Beiyuan County be managed well?"

"He Juren, this is something that the governor likes. Such a large official will never miss it." Someone next to him said, "It's nothing wrong with Nian Xiucai being a county magistrate. He always tells the truth and will definitely do something real in the future... He Juren, if you had stood up before, the governor might have thrown the position of this county magistrate to you. Unfortunately, you are very upright and polite, and you didn't stand up. You were taken first by Nian Xiucai's infatuated young man. This is no blame for others."

"Tell me, the Governor's approach is really strange." Someone else discussed: "Mr. Cao County is appointed by Governor Zhu. Governor Zhu has always been in our Beiyuan County before. Although he is the Governor of Tianshan Road, he heard that he can take care of the matters of the Northwest Three Roads. Just Governor Cao County Magistrate, will he make a feud with Governor Zhu?"

"Governor Zhu is the governor, and this Governor Chu is also the governor." Someone said immediately next to him: "Have you heard of it? This Governor Chu is the deputy envoy who had been sent to Xiliang before. When the delegation came out of seclusion, everyone said that even if they were not harmed by the people of Xiliang, they would die in the desert. Few people thought that they could come back alive, but look at what happened later. Lord Chu brought the delegation back from Xiliang all the time. Lord Chu was very powerful...!"

A man squeezed up next to him and whispered: "I heard a while ago that the court would send a new governor to come, but I didn't expect to send Governor Chu to come. Do you know the origin of Governor Chu?"

"We don't know, do you know?"

"Of course I know." The man said proudly: "This Governor Chu, I heard that it is a prince's accompanying him. Do you understand? He is the one who follows the prince as a child. He is destined to be a high-ranking official when he grows up. This Lord Chu is protected by the prince, and now he is in the limelight in the court, but he is not necessarily afraid of Governor Zhu, a big celebrity."

"Nothing nonsense, there was no such person in the court before." An old scholar over 50 years old said slowly: "It is said that Lord Chu's background is also very bizarre. He saved the emperor's life, so he entered the court to become an official..."

"You say he is a big celebrity, but if he is really a big celebrity in the court, how could he be sent to the northwest to be an official?" Another person next to him said lightly: "In this scene in Xiguan, no official in Beijing is willing to come here to suffer. I think he is not a big celebrity at all. I am afraid that he offended people in the court and demoted to Xiguan. If this is true, he is no match for Governor Zhu. Just County Magistrate Cao today, maybe he will be forced out of the northwest by Governor Zhu soon."

"I think this Lord Chu is kind and not like a bad person." A young man said, "He seems to really take our people to heart. If he is such a good official, it will be a blessing for our Xiguan. If he is really forced away by Governor Zhu, it will not be a good thing for our Xiguan."

"Whoever is the official is not a scheming person." He Juren seemed a little unwilling to accept it. "Don't look at this Lord Chu, but he is a young man. I see that he is very scheming. He is a good official or a bad official, and it is not obvious today that he has been punished. Could he be a good official after he has rectified the magistrate of Cao County?"

"Ju Ren, we can't understand what you say. County Magistrate Cao is a corrupt official. Lord Chu dismissed the corrupt official. What if he is not a good official?" A young man held a frustration for Chu Huan.

"Young man, you are not well-informed and have superficial knowledge." He Juren looked disdainful, "Is it a good official to deal with corrupt officials? This is not reasonable. The officials of the court have factions and party disputes. They can protect each other regardless of their character, or fight against each other. Lord Chu is a foreign official from the capital. Governor Zhu and magistrate Cao are both officials of the Northwest Gang. These are two factions. Lord Chu dismissed magistrate Cao, but it was probably for Governor Zhu to use magistrate Cao to give Governor Zhu a warning."

A middle-aged man next to He Juren touched his beard and said, "The old Juren's words are not unreasonable. As the saying goes, the new official takes office for three fires. Governor Chu's fire today is probably burned for Governor Zhu."

He heard someone agreeing, Juren He was even more proud and shook his head and said, "But young is young. Although he is a little scheming, he still lacks the heat. As soon as Lord Chu arrived at Xiguan, he burned Governor Zhu to show him. This is to establish his authority, but he also established a big enemy. He is in the officialdom and makes more friends but fewer enemies. Lord Chu still doesn't understand this truth. It's just that. Look at what he did. It's ridiculous to promote a scholar to be a county magistrate. This is not the way to use people... Look at it, Lord Chu's hard days have just arrived. Since he is an enemy of Governor Zhu, he will suffer the hard days later."

"Don't say it's a long story. It's a mule or a horse. You have to pull it out and see it." One person said, "Is Lord Chu a good official or a bad official, a mediocre person or a capable person. It's too early for us to comment now. I want to see what this Lord Chu will turn our Xiguan into... Alas, I always hope to be a good official!"—
