Sign in and get rich in farming

On May 18, Yu Sanlang's appointment came down. From that day on, he was not only Yu Fu, a villager of Taoyuan Village, but also officially became the county lieutenant of Wu'an County.

The current dynasty followed the official system of the previous dynasty. The only way for commoners to become officials was through recommendation, except for imperial examinations.

In the previous dynasty, officials were mostly recommended for their reputation or talent, but at the beginning of the current dynasty, an order was issued that the recommended officials must be examined three times and their merits must be checked three times, and the highest rank of the recommended officials cannot exceed the seventh rank, unless they have made contributions to the whole country, then they can be promoted.

In other words, if a commoner became an official through recommendation, he would at most be at the same level as a county magistrate, and the imperial court would have to dispatch judicial departments to conduct three examinations and investigations.

If Yu Sanlang had followed the official procedures, it would have taken at least a year to get his position, but he clung to the Tan family and took the fast track.

Tan Bailu and the three members of the Tan family went straight to the emperor's ears and reported every detail of what had happened in Wu'an County.

Yu Sanlang and his son had three achievements: one was to help the county magistrate to subdue the mountain bandits and heretics, two was to discover the secret of the previous dynasty and hunt down the foreign spies, and three was to discover the mineral vein map and gold mine.

Because Yu Song was going to take the imperial examination, all these three credits fell on Yu Sanlang, and he eventually became the third in command of Wu'an County.

"The county lieutenant is an official who works with the county magistrate in charge of public security. Wu'an County is a small county, and the county lieutenant of Wu'an County is a ninth-rank official." Yu Hongdou was looking at the appointment document while Master Shang was explaining beside her.

Yu Hongdou nodded thoughtfully. Oh, probably a similar position to that of the Public Security Bureau Chief.

"Dad, you are so awesome!" After learning about her father's official rank, Yu Hongdou began to cheer for her father crazily.

"Hehe." Although he didn't drink any alcohol, Yu Sanlang felt a little tipsy.

He thought about becoming an official, but he knew it was difficult. He remembered that his daughter had said before that the gold vein on the mountain was used to exchange her for an official position, and now he actually got an official position.

Yu Sanlang thought proudly that his greatest achievement was having this pair of children.

"Dad, I discussed with my teacher. Since you have become an official, I will quit my job in the county government and concentrate on studying to prepare for next year's outcome." Yu Song took advantage of his father's happiness to tell him his plan directly.

"Xiaosong..." Yu Sanlang looked at his son seriously. Seeing that he was not disappointed but proud, he knew his son's ambition.

No one knows a son better than his father. It is obvious that the son wants to take the right path, enter the officialdom through imperial examination, and stand higher.

Of course, it cannot be denied that the son's action was indeed intended to give way to his father.

The father and son work in the same yamen. Even though Tan Bailu is tolerant and forgiving, others can't stand it. It's impossible for the father and son of the Yu family to get all the good things!

"Brother Yu, Xiaosong's opinion is also my opinion." Master Shang nodded. Yu Song discussed this matter with him as soon as possible.

Master Shang admired his disciple's free and easy attitude and wisdom very much. Now the Yu family does not need the disciple's support. If he puts everything aside and concentrates on studying, it will naturally be the best thing.

Although Yu Song was smart, his foundation was too poor. He could cheat through the county examination, but even if he was not eliminated in the prefectural examination he would at most be the last one.

Teacher Shang is not a person who seeks fame, but at least he doesn't want to do too badly in the exam, otherwise he will be laughed at, because his student Tan Bailu is a last-place scholar.

"Dad, are you going to live in the county government office in the future? Or should we buy a house in the city?" Yu Hongdou was not at all worried about the rift between father and son. Instead, she was worried about her father's daily life.

Although Zhuangzi is quite close to the city, the city gates open and close at certain times every day. If something really happens, it is inevitable that you will be out of reach if you live outside the city.

Yu Sanlang was stumped by his daughter's question. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Master Shang, and finally decided to live in the county government office.

"I know myself well. Although I read a few books and learned some words when I was young, and I also learned some boxing, kicking, archery and horse riding, I know nothing about being an official. Brother Shang is not an outsider, so I won't be polite. I live in the county government office just to ask Brother Shang to give me some advice."

Yu Sanlang touched the back of his head. He had just been happy and satisfied when he received the document, but now he felt a little uneasy.

"Haha, Brother Yu, you're too polite. It just so happens that I'm feeling bored being alone in the yamen, and Xiaosong is about to come back to study. If you move in with me, I'll have some company." Master Shang stroked his beard and smiled.

He really admired the young disciple and his son. They were born in a common family, but they were neither humble nor arrogant. They rose to prominence without being arrogant or impatient. They were aware of opportunities and current affairs, and they were smart and observant.

People like this will soar to the sky if they are given a chance. He really wants to know how far this father and son can go.

Of course, what he was most curious and looking forward to was how Yu Hongdou, the great benefactor who was destined to be rich and powerful, would bring prosperity to his family, business, and relatives and friends.

……

It was such a great thing that Yu Sanlang became an official, so he had to announce it when he returned to the village. If his family didn't have any ancestral tablets, he would have to open a ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.

The three families of four, Aunt Qian and Third Sister Qian, as well as two teachers who were curious about Taoyuan Village and their servants, drove three cars back to Taoyuan Village after being away for nearly a month.

"Teacher, when I go back, I will go to the old house to pay my respects to my grandparents. Then we will come here to fish. I asked Duan Yuan to make three fishing rods for me!" Yu Hongdou promised the two teachers while pointing to Taoxi River.

She squeezed into a car with Wen Daozhi and Mo Shougui. In addition to wanting to give her brother and parents some space to be alone, the main purpose was to attend class and entertain guests.

On the way, Wen Daozhi would tell her poems about scenery and some painting techniques. When they came across some trees or stones with peculiar shapes, the master and apprentice would discuss how to expand a painting based on them.

Mo Shougui was not left out either. The road was bumpy and Yu Hongdou, who was thrown up by a pothole, thought of a question that struck his heart: how to reduce the shock of the car.

After asking, Yu Hongdou tilted her head and was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a car obtained by signing in in the system backpack?

Looking at Mo Shougui who was thinking, and then looking at Wen Daozhi who was looking out the window, Yu Hongdou boldly clicked on the system panel that had not been opened for many days.

I found the flatbed truck in the system backpack, zoomed in with my consciousness, and looked directly at the bottom of the carriage. I actually saw an iron bar rack that looked like a simple spring.

Yu Hongdou was curious, so she took the paper and pen that had been by her side since she learned from Wen Daozhi, and began to draw the bottom of a flatbed truck.

Mo Shougui only saw his young apprentice staring blankly, then suddenly he picked up the brush and started painting as if inspired by God.

When he saw clearly what the little apprentice had drawn, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. After simulating the construction in his mind, he clapped his hands and praised: "Great! This is based on Futu?"

Yu Hongdou scratched her head. She really didn't know what Futu was, so she shook her head honestly: "No, I don't know Futu, but I was thinking of the cradle when I was a child. When it rocked, I naturally wouldn't feel the bumps."

"That makes sense." Mo Shougui thought hard about the appearance of the cradle, suddenly smiled, took the pen from his apprentice and started drawing next to it.
