I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 78 Xu Wei Wants to Recast the Glory of the Family
After the cabinet meeting was over, the cabinet elders sent someone to deliver the news to Li Chunfang, who was compiling the book. When Li Chunfang heard the news, the brush in his hand lost his grip and fell to the ground with a 'click'.

"This... this, this, are you looking for the wrong person? In previous years, the chief examiners of the imperial examinations were all appointed by the Ministry of Rites? How come this year..." Li Chunfang looked anxious and couldn't even speak clearly.

"My lord, we are also following orders. The cabinet has decided, and you will be the chief examiner!"

Seeing that the matter was irretrievable, Li Chunfang sighed helplessly: "How did I become the chief examiner of the imperial examination?"

Just when Li Chunfang felt something in her heart, her inspiration exploded, and she was about to recite a poem, but she was interrupted by the next news from the visitor.

"Lord Li, don't be too depressed! Tell you secretly that your candidate for the chief examiner was appointed by His Majesty." The person who came to deliver the news to Li Chunfang saw that no one was paying attention, and said in a low voice.

"What?" Li Chunfang was shocked when he heard the news.

"Shh, be quiet."

The visitor was frightened by Li Chunfang's sudden increase in volume, and quickly looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"oh oh."

"Is the news true?"

"true."

"In the future, I will be the host of Li, so please don't refuse."

"You're welcome, Mr. Li, we still have business to do, so let's take our leave first."

"Walk slowly."

After the person who came to report the letter left, the colleagues around him surrounded him with gloating expressions in their eyes: "Master Li, what happened?"

Li Chunfang looked gloomy, and after a long silence, she responded, "The cabinet has decided to let me be the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination."

"Hey, don't be too sad. What's wrong with being the chief examiner of the imperial examinations? Those who get in are all your "students and old officials"!" Seeing Li Chunfang's depression, the colleagues on the side couldn't help but cry out. said comfortingly.

"Oh, I hope that's the case! Colleagues don't live here. In a few days, I have to go to the dark room to think about the test questions for this year's imperial examination."

"Lord Li, take care!"

……

Zhejiang, Zhejiang Governor's Mansion.

Since Hu Zongxian handed over the affairs of the entire Governor's Mansion to Xu Wei, the staff of the Governor's Mansion, at first the officials of the Governor's Mansion felt that this was a bit inappropriate and questioned Xu Wei's ability. Too many things related to government affairs.

But later, when everyone saw that Xu Wei not only did not make any mistakes in handling government affairs, but even his efficiency was much higher than when Hu Zongxian was still there, these doubts disappeared completely.

Soon, the disaster relief funds and food allocated by the imperial court were all in place. Xu Wei distributed them with extremely high efficiency, which attracted the officials of the Governor's Mansion to be amazed.

"This is the last batch of notebooks. You'd better rest for a while, don't be so tired." The subordinate sent the notebooks to Xu Wei's mansion, and comforted him.

"Well, I will pay attention to it, just put it there, and here is the completed booklet, take it here." Hearing the subordinate's words, Xu Wei raised his head and said.

"Yes." After the subordinate official finished speaking, he left with the pile of documents that Xu Wei had already processed.

Xu Wei was born in a big family that was on the verge of decline. His birth environment was extremely bad. When he was a child, his biological mother was kicked out of the house, and the family also pinned their hope of revival on him alone. He also lived up to the expectations of the family. At the age of 20, he passed the examination of scholar!
Just when he and his family thought this was the beginning, they didn't expect this to be the pinnacle. Since then, he failed the exam six times, but Xu Wei defected to Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province in the 39th year of Jiajing, and became his staff.

Hu Zongxian recognized Xu Wei's ability quite a lot, and the two often talked about their family and country ambitions together, and Hu Zongxian introduced Xu Wei as a confidant.

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to be an official. Being able to do something practical for the people! Being an official will benefit one party."

This was Xu Wei's greatest feeling during Hu Zongxian's absence. At the same time, his long-extinguished heart was rekindled. He wanted to wait for Hu Zongxian to come back, and then prepare to take this year's provincial examination and win the exam in one fell swoop!

At the same time, Xu Wei also secretly made up his mind that this will be the last imperial examination in his life, and Xu Wei is obliged to recast the glory of the family!

……

Zhejiang, Chun'an County.

Since the government’s disaster relief funds and relief food have been distributed, the number of hungry people on the street has decreased a lot. The porridge shop on the street is still open, but only a small amount is supplied every day, and sometimes even some porridge is mixed with some Dust, in order to prevent some idlers who are lazy and lazy to pretend to be the porridge from the government.

Gradually, there was a bit of popularity on the street, and some small vendors started to set up their stalls, and the noise of hawking and bargaining was endless, and the law and order were also guaranteed.

Chun'an County, county government.

After the renovation of the county government office was completed, Hai Rui moved his wife and the remaining property to the county government office, which could also reduce some unnecessary expenses.

Because there were too many items, Hai Rui and his wife couldn't carry them all by themselves, so they had to hire a few porters who were carrying goods on the dock to carry them together.

After moving everything to the county government, when Hai Rui gave them money, they refused to take it, but kept saying: "The magistrate was seeking justice for the people of Chun'an County. Life-saving grace! How dare we ask for money?"

After saying that, he pretended to leave, but in the end it was Hai Rui who threatened them with his status as magistrate, and made them accept the money.

……

Today, Zhao Qing, who has been a doctor for generations in his family, was invited to the county government office by Hai Rui. At first, he was a little apprehensive, but he was relieved when he heard that the county magistrate came to him to prevent the epidemic.

"Come, Doctor Zhao, have some tea."

Zhao Qing didn't wait long before Hai Rui appeared in front of him and said.

"Thank you magistrate for the tea!" Zhao Qing said and bowed to the ground.

"Get up, I came to you today to discuss the prevention of epidemics with you. Now that the flood has passed, the epidemics will surely follow!"

"The magistrate has found the right person. My family has been a doctor for generations, and I have unique insights on how to prevent and control epidemics." Seeing that the magistrate mentioned what he is good at, Zhao Qing was a little proud and said quickly.

"Oh, please be frank." Hai Rui couldn't help but become interested when he heard this.

"As the old saying goes, after a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe! To prevent and control the disease, first of all, the sick and healthy people should live separately, and the surrounding areas should be separated by lime powder, and private meetings are not allowed. The bodies of those who died from the plague need to be buried on the spot."

"Let the common people drink boiled water instead of unboiled water, supplemented with some healing herbs, and the number of deaths due to the disease can be greatly reduced."

"Well, that's very good! Just as Doctor Zhao said." After listening to Doctor Zhao Qing's explanation, Hai Rui felt that it was quite feasible, and exclaimed.

"Where is there, there are very few things I can do as a doctor, and it is far less than the feat of the county magistrate pleading for the lives of the people of Chun'an County."

"As long as it can benefit the people, no matter how small it is, it is a big matter! If it cannot benefit the people, no matter how big it is, it is still a small matter."
