Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 16: Away from the hustle and bustle
After the meal, it was really tiring to consider every sentence. But when he thought about it, it was indeed true. When he watched Ming Dynasty, he felt that he would definitely not live to see the next day's sunrise.

Although there was some suspicion of artificially increasing the difficulty, it seemed that the court was indeed so difficult. In fact, he was a little hesitant at this moment. He was really worried that he would make a mistake and be shot to pieces. After all, a mobile phone is not a fighter jet. It cannot carry a Xialin machine gun to hit the dragon throne.

But now I seem to have boarded a pirate ship, and it would be somewhat difficult to get off, so I can only bite the bullet and join in their discussion.

The young prince was actually a man who was very careful with his words. He did not touch upon any topics of struggle and contradiction throughout the entire process. He only said a few words occasionally, and then left it all up to others to understand for themselves.

However, there is one thing that is related to Xia Lin. The young prince asked him, "Daosheng, if I place you directly in the village as a village chief, are you willing? It's not that you don't have the talent, but you are still young and don't understand the dangers of the officialdom. As for the imperial examination, you don't need to participate. I will make arrangements for you later."

"Then I'll just listen to the young prince."

Xia Lin stood up and saluted him. How could he have any complaints? He was not even from a poor family. He was just an ordinary, silly boy. However, at the age of sixteen, he was sent to be the village chief. That was a cadre at the section level. Although it was not an official position, it was a position that many people would eventually reach in their lifetime.

Take Xia Lin's father for example. He used to be the head of the sales department in an old state-owned factory. He worked diligently all his life and was promoted to the rank of section chief just before retirement. This was enough to make the old man jubilant for many years. He would tell everyone that he was a retired "cadre". He was once a big shot in the circle of old men in the community. Later, an old man who retired from the county department came to the community, which suppressed Old Xia's arrogance.

Xia Lin achieved this achievement at the age of sixteen, which took his father a lifetime to achieve.

This is an ordinary person who is easily satisfied. Why does Monkey King dislike Bi Ma Wen? It is because he was born from a spiritual stone from heaven and earth and his apprentice was the ancestor of grapes. If he replaced him with an ordinary person, Bi Ma Wen would be a great official.

The prince was quick in doing things. After lunch, when Xia Lin hadn't woken up from his afternoon nap, Chuntao had delivered the appointment letter to him, and Chuntao Bentao was also delivered to him.

In fact, judging from Sister Chuntao's expression, she had obviously cried, but it was normal for her to be sent here and there as she was just a maid. She couldn't even find anyone to complain to.

"The prince asked me to serve you from now on." Chun Tao pursed her lips and said to Xia Lin, "If there is anything wrong, please bear with me..."

Xia Lin sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Chuntao in confusion, but he soon realized that this was obviously one of the gifts the young prince had given him before he left.

When reading Dream of the Red Chamber for the first time, Xia Lin envied Baoyu for having a maid like Xiren. But now if you think about it from the woman's perspective, this kind of thing is actually quite cruel. It really doesn't treat people as human beings.

Xia Lin sat there with his hands on his knees, looked at Chun Tao for a while and said, "If you don't want to, I will let you go secretly, and you can go back to your hometown and do whatever you want."

Hearing this boy suddenly say such an innocent thing, Chun Tao burst into laughter. She sat lightly on a small stool and said, "Don't say these nonsense. The young prince wants you to start your post tomorrow."

"Taking office..."

Xia Lin lowered his head and read the letter of appointment carefully. It was to serve as the head of a place called Xinping Township in Raozhou. He couldn't remember what place this Xinping Township was, but since it was a township, how could it be a good place?

At this moment, Chuntao stood up and said, "Master, I will go and pack up now."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Chuntao."

Chun Tao nodded, turned around and left silently. At this moment, Xia Lin picked up his phone and started searching, muttering: "Xinping Township is a shitty place, isn't this like exile... huh???"

The search results on the mobile phone scared Xia Lin so much that he lost his voice, because this Xinping Township was called Fuliang County hundreds of years later.

At that moment, Xia Lin's blood boiled. In his time, that place might have been just a place for tourism and eating, but in this era, it is definitely a legendary area. It is just that it has not been developed yet and is just an ordinary small town. But in the future, it will be a trading giant in the southern region. The saying "Merchants value profit over separation. Last month, they went to Fuliang to buy tea" refers to this Fuliang County. The once glorious Tang Dynasty tea market was here.

What is even more terrifying than Fuliang tea is that the porcelain that has dominated the sales charts for 1,400 years was also produced in this place, because in the future, the place under the jurisdiction of Fuliang County will be called Jingdezhen.
At this moment, Xia Lin's hands were shaking. This was simply giving away good fortune. Perhaps even the little prince did not realize what kind of Feng Shui land he was giving to Xia Lin.

If this can't be developed, then Xia Lin is really too stupid. Simply put, relying on that porcelain, and the fact that people in this era like luxury goods, tea, and handicrafts so much, it's like sending a dog to be a leader and it can develop very well.

Moreover, this place is adjacent to Poyang Lake and backed by Hongdu Prefecture and Jiujiang Ferry. The transportation is extremely convenient and the rivers in the area lead directly to Huizhou. It can be said to be a dream start. If it were a simulation business game, choosing this place would probably be considered a difficult start for a novice.

He carefully put the letter of appointment into his arms, feeling extremely nervous. He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then walked to the next room and kicked open the door: "Lao Zhang, get up!"

Old Zhang was like Zhang Huaimin who had not slept yet. He looked up at Xia Lin in a daze: "Are you sick?"

Xia Lin didn't waste any words. He walked over, took out the letter of appointment and threw it directly in his face: "Master Zhang, prepare to take office."

When Lao Zhang saw the letter of appointment, he immediately became more alert. He quickly sat up and checked it out. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became. He looked up at Xia Lin in disbelief: "So... you're an official?"

"He's just a minor official." Xia Lin waved his hand: "Not worth mentioning." "Indeed, he is a minor official, but a township official. If nothing had happened to me, I would have been a deputy county magistrate."

This thing he said was OK, but Xia Lin was not happy about it. He sat there and started to explain to Lao Zhang how awesome this place was. It was no exaggeration to say that it was the leader of Chinese handicrafts, but it had not been developed yet, that's all.

Hearing his exaggerated words, Lao Zhang immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him: "If this place is so powerful, why is it not well-known?"

Xia Lin was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head: "Aren't you waiting for me... When you live, I live too, and I am still young when you are alive. I only worry about the long future ahead, and I will set sail and wait for good winds."

"Hmm? What a nice poem. Let me quote it."

"Stop copying, pack your things and leave tomorrow."

It was not until the next day when they set out that Xia Lin realized why they were in such a hurry, because the young princess was being sent back to Hongdu, and they were just taking him as a ride.

However, because of their joining, the little princess, who had been crying bitterly, stopped crying all of a sudden, and even became overjoyed. When she knew that Xia Lin was going to her territory, she jumped for joy in the carriage.

"Do you know my title?"

The carriage team started to move forward, and the little princess said to Xia Lin proudly: "Guess."

"What are you guessing? Aren't you the Princess of Poyang?"

"The place you are going to is exactly my fiefdom." The little princess was very happy: "You can settle down there, and I will go to visit you when I have some free time."

Xia Lin said with a smile: "I beg you, please let me go. The mountain road there is rugged. If you get into trouble on the way, the young prince and Prince Teng will boil me alive, right? Medium rare, with blood sizzling."

"No, don't worry!"

They walked and stopped along the way, and before they were halfway there, the Yangzhou Spring Examination had already begun. Xia Lin, who had originally planned to take the exam, looked up at the sky and sighed. He turned around and looked at Lao Zhang, who was squatting on the ground and stuffing a strange little flower into his mouth: "You see, this fate is really strange. We have been displaced all the way, but in the end, plans cannot keep up with changes."

"Don't eat it, it's poisonous!"

The young princess's guards rushed over anxiously to stop Lao Zhang, but by then Lao Zhang had already begun to foam at the mouth. He lay there making ah ah sounds in his throat, and words were still gushing out of his mouth: "It's really hard to predict what's going on in this world."

Although Lao Zhang was in a miserable state, Xia Lin really couldn't help laughing out loud. Then he watched the guards feeding him feces soup and salt water, which looked really funny and pitiful.

However, it was precisely because of these two idiots that the little princess' originally boring journey became extremely rich. They really walked and played every day, and the journey that was originally supposed to take a month took them almost three months.

During these three months, Xia Lin took care of the little princess like a child. They touched bird eggs, caught eels, fished for crabs, and pulled rat snakes. In short, they did all kinds of strange things, and the little princess always had a black face from playing.

It was just like he was taking care of a child, but the little princess's feelings for him quickly grew. The first thing she did every morning when she woke up was to look for Xia Lin. She would go out to play on sunny days and listen to Xia Lin's stories on rainy days.

But all good things must come to an end, and the time to say goodbye finally came. Xia Lin and his companions stopped in Fuliang, but the little princess had to continue on.

On the day of separation, the little princess cried so hard that she lost her temper. Xia Lin had no choice but to comfort her for a long time before he calmed her down.

"Okay, okay, when I go to the county to report on my work in a few days, I will secretly go to Hongdu to visit you, okay?"

"You have to keep your word. You keep lying to me..."

The little princess looked quite naive with tears in her eyes, and Xia Lin couldn't help laughing out loud again.

"Annoying!" The little princess quickly wiped the tears from her face: "Remember to come and play with me!"

"I know, I know." Xia Lin patted the little princess' head presumptuously: "I'll go as soon as I have free time."
