Chapter 235 Xu Shaobo is the new county magistrate

After receiving the transfer order, Su Lifang stood there, puzzled.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Madam Su was puzzled. The position from county magistrate to deputy magistrate should be considered a promotion, so why didn't the master look happy?

Su Lifang said: "Do you also think that I have been promoted from seventh-rank county magistrate to fifth-rank deputy governor?"

Madam Su nodded: "That's what I think."

Su Lifang shook his head: "Think about it again, Yanmen Prefecture is thousands of miles away from the capital, how much power can the Tongzhi there have?"

"Besides, Yanmen Prefecture is close to the border and has been in constant war for many years. Whether it is the people or the officials, they cannot have peace. Being an official there, no matter how high your position is, it is not as easy as being in Songyang County."

When Mrs. Su thought about it, it seemed to be true.

It seems like a promotion, but in fact it is a horizontal transfer, or even worse than a horizontal transfer.

Although the magistrate of Songyang County is a seventh-rank official, it is already considered good in this place.

Her parents' home is also here, and as the county magistrate's wife, she is considered the best in Songyang County.

But if I go to Yanmen Prefecture, it will not only be farther away from the capital, but also farther away from my mother's home. It is not cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Su couldn't help but frowned.

"What should we do? The transfer order has already come down..."

Su Lifang knew very well that the transfer order had been issued and the situation was determined.

But Lian'er has already arrived in the capital, and this transfer order was probably issued by the adults for Lian'er's sake.

Otherwise, with his own abilities, he could only be a seventh-rank county magistrate at best in his life.

Although Yanmen Prefecture is not as good as Nanyang Prefecture, the Tongzhi of Yanmen Prefecture is not as comfortable as the magistrate of Songyang County.

But after all, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death, let alone a higher-ranking official of two levels.

Thinking of this, Su Lifang wondered if this was a way for the adults to train him?

Lian'er is already in the capital. She will definitely be a favored child in the future, so as her father, he can't be too bad.

Although Yanmen Prefecture is poor, it is indeed a good place for training.

If I make some achievements in Yanmen Mansion, it is not impossible for me to move up to the next level.

In just a few breaths, Su Lifang imagined a lot more.

"Forget it! Tell everyone to pack their bags and set off in the afternoon!"

Mrs. Su, who was still immersed in the good days, heard this and said: ???

Aren't you changing too fast?

Leaving in the afternoon?

Are you rushing to reincarnate?

Although she was complaining in her heart, she did not dare to question Su Lifang's decision.

"Okay, I understand."

Su Lifang was anxious to perform, so he ate lunch in a hurry, then took his entire family and set off for Yanmen Mansion to take up his post.

He didn't care at all about who would take over the position of county magistrate after he was transferred.

Outside Songyang County, Su Lifang and his family left in a grand manner.

There were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages, which shows how much money was embezzled.

"My Lord, is there anything I can do for you?"

Yu Si shook his head: "No, don't delay the master's important business, let them jump around first."

"Let them enter the city first."

An ordinary, shabby carriage staggered along the small road outside the city and finally entered Songyang County.

The carriage stopped at the back door of the county government office, and a man and a woman got out one after another.

Both of them were dressed simply, and the woman had a bulging belly, looking like she was about to give birth.

"Be careful, madam."

The woman smiled gently: "It's okay. It has been very well behaved along the way."

The man was still very careful. He helped the woman up the stairs and stopped at the door.

"I'll go knock on the door, ma'am, wait a moment."

The woman nodded.

The man walked up and knocked on the door, and soon the door opened.

The person who opened the door was the gatekeeper who previously worked at the county government office.

Including him, several servants were left behind.

The concierge asked cautiously, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

The man took out a piece of paper and said, "I am the new magistrate of Songyang County. This is the appointment letter. Please take a look at it."

The concierge was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and blurted out, "Lord Su just left and the new county magistrate has arrived?"

Isn’t this speed too fast?

The man smiled and said, "I should have arrived earlier to hand over the task to the former county magistrate, but now I am one day late."

The concierge curled his lips when he heard this: "It doesn't matter whether I meet him or not. There's nothing to hand over."

After reading the appointment letter, he returned the paper to the man, then opened the door and said sideways: "Please come in, sir. There is no one in charge of the county government office right now. You are here just in time!"

The man gave the concierge a warm and friendly feeling and had a good temper, so it seemed that he would not make things difficult for them.

But it is not known whether he is capable enough as a county magistrate.

The man turned around to help the woman.

The concierge was very considerate: "Madam, please be careful at the threshold. The main courtyard is over there. Please follow me."

The woman also looked kind: "Thank you for your help."

The concierge was cheered up and worked with more energy.

After being a servant for so many years, this is the first time I have met such a kind master.

When they were led to the main courtyard, the gatekeeper discovered that they were alone and did not bring any servants.

"There is a housemaid and a maid in the mansion. Madam is not feeling well now. Would you like to ask them to come and serve?"

Hearing this, the man smiled and refused.

"No need, someone will come to your door later."

The doorman stopped hesitating and was about to leave, but was stopped by the man.

"I'm new here and I'm not familiar with many things. I'd like to ask for your help, brother. What's your name?"

The doorman has been a doorman all his life, and he never thought that one day he would be needed by adults.

"My name is An Sheng. I grew up in Songyang County. My ancestors were all from Songyang County. You can ask whatever you want to know."

The man asked, "An Sheng, how long have you been in the county government?"

An Sheng replied: "Seven or eight years."

The man nodded: "Okay, I understand, you can go down first."

An Sheng stepped back, and the couple entered the main courtyard, but did not enter the room.

After waiting for half a minute, An Sheng led a group of people in.

"Sir, are these the people you mentioned earlier?"

The man nodded: "That's right, you stay and clean up this main courtyard."

The servants started working in an orderly manner. An Sheng blushed and felt a little ashamed.

"My Lord, I'm sorry, I haven't cleaned the main courtyard yet."

As soon as Su Lifang and his family left, the new county magistrate arrived.

No one would have enough time to clean up in such a short time.

Even though there were servants cleaning the county government office every day, it was still a place that had been lived in by someone else.

"Nothing, everything was very rushed, I understand."

Seeing that the man did not blame him, An Sheng became more determined to do good things for him.

"Everyone has arrived. Please take a look and see if there is anything missing. If you need anything, please let me know."

The man said respectfully: "Everything your Excellency has arranged is fine. I don't need anything else for now."

Yu Si knocked casually, "The master has spent a lot of effort on this action. Sir Xu, please don't disappoint the master's expectations."

"Songyang County is just the first step. If you can get hold of the things here, you will be able to rise to prominence in the future."

"Master Xu, do you understand?"
