The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 308 Leaving Beijing
The situation of the Chief Secretary of Shanxi is a bit special. Because he is in the north, facing the Tatars directly, everyone has developed a martial character, and the folk customs are extremely tough.

Dealing with people here requires more skills.

Fortunately, the Lu'an Mansion is located in the southeast of the Chief Secretary of Shanxi, so there is no need to worry about the Tatar soldiers coming to the city like the Datong Mansion in the north.

Although Lu'an Mansion is not comparable to those prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, it is relatively comfortable in Shanxi.

Of course, this premise is that the people of Lu'an Mansion can cheer up from the strong earthquake
A lot of waste is waiting to be done, but it is not easy to start.

Xie Shen took a leave of absence that day and left the Imperial Academy early to return to the mansion.

After Xu Qianqian learned that her husband was about to be released, what she cared most about was naturally whether she could go with her.After getting an affirmative answer, Xu Qianqian was really happy.

Apart from her hometown of Shufu, the only places she has lived in for a long time are Songjiang Mansion and Beijing Normal University.She is very curious about the outside world, this time Xie Shen is able to go to Shanxi, Xu Qianqian can naturally appreciate one more charm.

What's more, in her opinion, as long as she can get along with her husband day and night, it doesn't matter where she is.

The mind of the little woman is so unpredictable.

There was no resistance from Xu Qianqian, so Xie Shen then went to Xu's mansion to bid farewell to the father-in-law.

He originally thought that he would become an official in the big sauce tank of the capital, but who would have thought that the situation would change suddenly, which is really embarrassing.

Not only was Xu Guan not surprised when he learned that Xie Shen was released, but he stroked his beard and smiled, "Isn't this a good thing."

Xie Shen said with a sad face: "Lao Taishan was joking, my son-in-law has done a good job in the Imperial Academy, and he served in the East Palace a few days ago, how can it be considered good to be released at such a time?"

Being an official also pays attention to luck.

Xie Shen is in the rising period of his career, if he can withstand this breath, he may be able to win the capital to join the cabinet in the future.

But now that it is released, the originally planned promotion trajectory will be disrupted.

"You are talented and intelligent, but you lack experience. What can you learn by studying history in the Imperial Academy? If you want to achieve the height of this old man in the future, you still need some skills."

Xu Guan obviously didn't know that Xie Shen's ultimate goal was to join the cabinet as the chief assistant, otherwise he would definitely spit out a mouthful of old blood.

In Xu Guan's view, being able to be a servant is very remarkable.

Xie Shen understood what Xu Guan meant.There is no future for those who work behind closed doors.Those who have been to the local government and those who have not been are completely in two realms.

This is the fatal weakness of Hanlin Cichen.

Xu Guan is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and none of the members of the ministry, the foreign minister, or the head of the department is a good person, but because these people have no external experience in doing things, they seem to be vain, and it is difficult to hit the point.

Hanlin Cichen will be less experienced than these department officials. If Xie Shen has the opportunity to skyrocket in the future, it will be disastrous.

Although Xie Shen understood this truth, he was still a little unwilling.

"The timing of the release was too bad. Just after a strong earthquake in Tunliu, His Majesty sent me there. This is putting me on the fire."

Xu Guan shook his head and said: "Because of this, you have to perform well. Why did His Majesty send you instead of others? Isn't it a proof of your outstanding ability?"

Xie Shen: "."

He can only sigh with emotion that the perspective of the old man's thinking is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

"Good things don't last long. You have the qualifications to be in charge of the local government. When you return to Beijing in the future and want to be stationed in the Sixth Department, it will be at your fingertips."

No matter how Lao Taishan is also a person who has experienced ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, Xie Shen still wants to listen to his words.

"My son-in-law will definitely do his best to benefit the people of Lu'an."

"My son-in-law, are you seventeen this year?"

Xu Guan nodded in satisfaction, and then changed the subject abruptly: "Originally, I wanted to wait until you were twenty before taking your name. But you are going to Shanxi to take up the post, and the term of office will be three years. The old man was worried that he would not be able to make it, so he replaced you in advance. You take it."

Xie Shen was overjoyed.

Although the characters in the Ming Dynasty were [-]th and [-]nd, he had already stepped into the officialdom after all, so it was shameful not to have a character.It's great that the father-in-law is willing to come forward to fetch the name for him.

Xie Shen cupped his hands at Xu Guan and said, "Thank you, Lao Taishan."

Xu Guan nodded, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "The word Shen is Jin, why not call it Jinxiu."

Xie Shen thought in his heart that the word Mr. Xu chose is indeed not bad, it is more appropriate to the original meaning of the name than Mr. Yang Shen and Mr. Yang's Yongxiu.

"Thank you, Lao Taishan, for giving me the word."

Xu Guan stroked his beard and said: "It's all a family. There is nothing to thank. But you should be more cautious when you go to Shanxi, you are not alone. If there is something wrong with Qianqian, I will not forgive you."

Xie Shen replied with a smile: "My son-in-law will not let Qianqian suffer even if he makes anyone suffer."

However, Xie Shen went to the Ministry of Officials to complete the corresponding procedures, so he bid farewell to his career in the Imperial Academy for the time being and walked towards a better new life.

Before leaving, a group of friends hosted a banquet for Xie Shen and his wife to practice.

Alcohol is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated, what is intoxicated is the state of mind.

Xie Shen really didn't want to show his little daughter's attitude at this time, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "There is no feast that lasts forever, besides, I have only been to Shanxi for three years, and I may return to the capital soon."

Wang Shouwen said with red eyes: "It's easy to say, three years, how many three years are there in a person's life?"

Xie Shen was dumbfounded for a while, but Xie Pi coughed and said: "Brother Xu Shen has made great achievements in governance, and he was transferred back to Beijing by His Majesty within a year or so."

What Xie Pi said was not unreasonable.

The appointment of high-ranking red-robed officials such as the six Zhengyin hall officials, the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the minister of Dali Temple, and the General Secretary and General Political Envoy generally have to go through court recommendation procedures.

But if a fourth-rank official like Xie Shen is transferred back to the capital, it is really a matter of His Majesty the Emperor.

Xie Shen looked at the green hills not far away and said with emotion: "A man who lives in the world is worthy of the sky and the earth. I hope this time I can do something for the people of Lu'an."

Of course he knew that in order to solve the land problem in the Ming Dynasty, he needed to start with the system. For example, Zhang Juzheng made a whip to combine taxation and corvee, which is very good.

But that's what temple bosses are qualified to do.

Xie Shen is only a fourth-rank magistrate now, although he barely wears the scarlet robe, he is really like an ant in front of those big bosses.

All he can do is do what is within his abilities.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, younger brother Shenxian, you'd better get on the road earlier."

Wang Shouwenqiang laughed to himself and said, "It would be a joke if people looked at these young daughters."

"Take care of yourself!"

Thousands of words turned into two words, Xie Shen paused, then resolutely turned and got on the carriage.

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, a roll of yellow dust rose up, and a motorcade of more than a dozen people slowly headed south along the official road.
