After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 59
Shen Jingcheng took the document and scanned it from beginning to end, looked up at Lin Hu suspiciously, and asked, "Master Lin, does the county magistrate know how old I am? I'm a villain, I've just tied my hair, isn't it too young for me to be a chief? I don’t know anything about those fish scale books, what if the errands go wrong?”

"Hey, young master Shen's words are serious." Lin Hu waved his hands indifferently, and said unhurriedly: "Although young master Shen is young now, he can do things reliably, just like last year's locust plague, Resettlement of refugees, which one is not done beautifully? Besides, Mr. Shen has opened up a lot of land this year, right? Even according to the land you own now, you should be the head of grain. As for things you don’t understand, you can Come and ask me, you can also ask our county magistrate, we will know everything, and we will do this matter well with Young Master Shen."

Shen Jingcheng's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and he was very embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he still shook his head and politely refused: "Master Lin, I still feel that this matter is inappropriate..."

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's very appropriate, come here." Lin Hu didn't allow him to refuse at all, and called out to the boy waiting outside the door: "Bring the box in."

As soon as his words fell, the servant immediately walked in with a wooden box in his arms. Lin Hu pointed to Shen Jingcheng, and said to him: "Leave it to our Master Liang."

Shen Jingcheng saw that the wooden box was not picked up, but looked at Lin Hu again, with rejection in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Hu immediately got up, took the box from the boy servant, stuffed it into Shen Jingcheng's arms, and said, "This is the fish scale booklet for the region you want to manage. The chief is in charge. In addition, before the [-]th day, you have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the capital to get the Kanhe. I have opened the road guide for you and put it in the box. The time is a little tight. You should go as soon as possible. I have something to go. .”

After Lin Hu finished speaking, he took the boy to leave, Shen Jingcheng hurriedly got up and hugged the box to pull him: "No, Master Lin, I really can't do it...".

"How can you know if you haven't done it yet? Besides, don't you still have me and our county magistrate in everything? If you don't understand anything, you can come to the county government to look for us. If I have something to do, I'll leave first. Stay for a while. "Lin Hu said as he tried to pull away his hand that held him, and hurried away, as if he didn't know how many times he had rehearsed.

"My lord, my lord..." Shen Jingcheng chased after a few more steps until Lin Hu's shadow disappeared, and then he stopped. what.

Gu Jin came out of the main house and saw him standing in the yard with a box in his arms, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Hearing Gu Jin's voice, Shen Jingcheng immediately came back to his senses, told her to wait, went to the door and ordered Zhou Quan to find Jiang Zhengshu, and then went back to the room and told her what Lin Hu told him.

"This, isn't this too child's play? It's the fifth day of the lunar new year. How can I get to the capital before the [-]th?" Gu Jin was a little angry.

Although she didn't know how far it was from the capital, but the place she stayed in her previous life was so much closer to the capital than here, and it was thousands of miles away. How could she make it?

"I reckon there must be something going on here, otherwise it would be impossible to be in such a hurry." Shen Jingcheng said after thinking.

But now he didn't have time to find out what happened. With Lin Hu's attitude, there was probably no room for him to refuse, so he could only set off for the capital as soon as possible.

Originally, he planned to work hard to cultivate more fields first, and after two years, when he had almost saved enough capital and read enough books, he would fight for the position of grain chief, but he didn't expect that God would make such a joke on him.

But that's okay, although the job came suddenly, it also saved him the trouble of fighting for it in the future. The only downside is that now he is building a house and looking for hired workers, so he has nothing but his family property.Moreover, he didn't know if there were other conspiracies behind this errand, but there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so let's take it one step at a time.

Shen Jingcheng didn't hide his guess at all, and told Gu Jin about the pros and cons. Gu Jin frowned slightly, but he also knew that it was impossible to have the best of both worlds. Since Shen Jingcheng wanted to do it, she would support it.

While the two were talking, Jiang Zhengshu also came. After hearing the news the two told him, he opened his mouth in shock, then took a deep breath and said, "Since you have already decided, you have to leave quickly. Here It's far away from the capital, so if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid it will delay the date."

"Yes." Shen Jingcheng nodded approvingly, then looked at Jiang Zhengshu solemnly and said, "It's just that sir, Ah Jin and I have left, and I have to ask you to take care of these things at home."

"That's fine." Jiang Zhengshu smiled. He had already treated these two children as his own children after being together for half a year. Naturally, he would not shirk this trivial matter, but... "Do you know how to get to the capital?"

"I don't really know. I'll buy a map on the way and see where I go." Shen Jingcheng took a deep breath. There are still a lot of things to prepare. If you want to be fast, you have to pack lightly, and you have to think carefully about what to bring. .

"I have a map from here to Xingyang County. I usually draw it from memory. It may not be so accurate, but it should not be too bad. You can get it later and use it first." After Jiang Zhengshu finished speaking, After thinking about it, he said: "I still have a few students who are staying in Beijing, but I don't know if they are still there. I will write a few letters when I go back later, and you can take them with you. Whoever can find them will be counted. It’s better to have someone to guide you than nothing.”

Shen Jingcheng did not expect such a surprise, and immediately bowed deeply to Jiang Zhengshu: "Student, thank you sir."

"Hi, thank you." Jiang Zhengshu waved his hand, and said as he walked out, "Hurry up and think about what you need to bring on your way. I'll go back and write you a letter. Come and get it later."

"Hey." Shen Jingcheng agreed to wait for Jiang Zhengshu to leave, and immediately began to discuss with Gu Jin what he needed to bring on the journey.

In the end, the two agreed to only bring a water bottle, a change of clothes, enough money, and household registration guides. After all, the time was too short, and they had to pack lightly to get to the capital as quickly as possible. Money, this will cost a lot more than usual, but there is no way around it.

"Why don't I go, it's faster for you to travel alone." After deciding what to bring, Gu Jin discussed with Shen Jingcheng.

"No, I don't feel relieved when you are alone at home." Shen Jingcheng rejected her proposal without hesitation.

"How can it be alone? There are Mr. Jiang, Axiu, and Zhou Quan, Uncle Zhao..."

"That's not okay, you have to come with me." Before Gu Jin could finish speaking, Shen Jingcheng interrupted him, his eyes were full of determination.

No matter how important the matter of going to the capital is, it is not as important as her. It is absolutely impossible for him to leave Gu Jin alone.

Gu Jin originally wanted to say something, but when he met his dark eyes, he had no words to refute and could only agree.

"Ok."

After everything was discussed, the two took out the road guide from the box that Lin Hu brought and put it away, and looked at the area and villages he needed to manage on the fish scale book, and hid all these things and some account books in two places. In the secret room between the granaries.

Afterwards, Shen Jingcheng went to the courtyard next door to get the map and Jiang Zhengshu's letter, while Gu Jin told Gu Xiu that he and Shen Jingcheng were going out, fearing that she would be afraid of being alone in the courtyard, and asked Zhou Quan's family to temporarily move in with them. Gu Xiu as a companion.

That night, the two had a rare early rest. Before dawn, the two of them had breakfast and set foot on the road to the capital in the white morning mist.
