It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Lu Xingchen looked at Lu Xingzhu and said, "No matter what time, what we need is talent."

“The more talent, the better.”

"What kind of people are talented?" Lu Xingzhu seemed to have opened up a new world.

In the past, she only knew how to learn needlework, be the mistress of the house, go shopping for jewelry, and make clothes every day. She had never received such an education.

"Three hundred and sixty lines, and he will be the number one scholar."

“For example, if you can make delicious meals using simple ingredients, then you are a talent in cooking.”

"You are a talented person if others can only harvest 300 kilograms of grain per mu of land while you can harvest 400 kilograms."

"If you are better than others in a certain industry, you are considered a talent in that industry."

Lu Xingzhu seemed to understand but not quite.

She was thinking about what she did better than others.

Now it seems that she has nothing else to show for her except spending money.

"Sister Xingchen, in what aspects can I become a talent?" Lu Xingzhu looked at Lu Xingchen with burning eyes.

"That depends on what you like to do."

Lu Xingchen's words stumped Lu Xingzhu.

What does she like to do?

Now everything she did was not what she liked, but what Lu Nie and the Second Madam asked her to do.

Said it was something you had to do as a woman.

"Miss Xingzhu, you can also be a female official like me." Zhou Yuru suddenly said.

"Before, I only knew how to learn needlework, become a mistress of the house, and then get married."

"Ever since Lord Lu asked me to study with Master Guo, I realized that I can do a lot of things. Not only can I do the things in the inner house, but I can also do the things outside."

Lu Xingzhu's mind seemed to be opened.

"Sister Xingchen, I want to go to Jizhou with you, and I also want to study with Master Guo." Lu Xingzhu said.

"It's no problem for you to learn from Master Guo. But I won't accept people who work for three days and rest for two days."

"If this is just a spur of the moment thing, forget it. I'll only give you one chance."

Lu Xingchen looked at Lu Xingzhu seriously.

"My requirements of you are the same as those of Zhou Yuru and the others."

"Don't think that I will indulge you just because you are my sister."

"I understand. Sister Xingchen, don't worry." Lu Xingzhu said confidently.

But Lu Xingzhu thought too simply.

Lu Nie firmly opposed it.

"So what?"

"I want to be a female official." Lu Xingzhu said in a firm voice.

"How are you going to get married after you become a court lady?" Lu Nie stamped her feet anxiously.

"We'll talk about the future later. Now I want to learn from Master Guo. I want to be a female official." Lu Xingzhu was firm.

Lu Nie was furious.

I don’t know what kind of magic potion Lu Xingchen gave her.

In the end, it was the second lady who released Lu Xingzhu and followed Lu Xingchen back to Jizhou.

Of course, before returning to Jizhou, Lu Xingchen went to Songxian, Wanxian and Tengxian.

Linghu Qing, Zhao Rui and Jia Rong were of course surprised when they learned that Lu Xingchen was a girl.

But it was just a surprise.

Their current position as county lords was given by Lu Xingchen. Would they give up their current status and power just because Lu Xingchen is a woman?

On the second day after Lu Xingchen returned to Jizhou, Lu Yunfeng, Yuan Tianshi and Mr. Liao also returned to Jizhou from the capital.

This time when Lu Xingchen returned to Xing County, he also brought Widow Cao to Jizhou Prefecture.

Yuan Tianshi would still play a very important role in her future frauds, so she thought it would be better for her to be nice to Yuan Tianshi.

"General, I've already told you not to do that." Yuan Tianshi said a little embarrassedly when he saw Widow Cao.

"Okay, let's quit while we're ahead." Lu Xingchen glared at him.

"Thank you for your grace, General." Master Yuan Tianshi said with a smile.

“By the way, I also drove away the abbot of the Temple of Heaven and all the Taoists.” Lu Xingchen said.

"And I changed it to Baiyun Temple."

"From now on, you will be the abbot of Baiyun Temple in Jizhou Prefecture."

Master Yuan Tianshi was so moved by Lu Xingchen that he almost cried.

"Sir, I will serve you loyally till my death."

"Okay, we're tired from the journey, let's go back quickly." Lu Xingchen waved at Master Yuan Tianshi.

Master Yuan gave Widow Cao a wink, then turned around and strode straight towards Baiyun Temple.

Only then did Lu Xingchen call Master Guo, Lu Yunfeng and Mr. Liao together.

After all, Master Yuan Tianshi is a Taoist priest, so it is better to let him stay away from these worldly affairs.

"How was your trip to Beijing?" Lu Xingchen looked at Lu Yunfeng and asked.

Lu Yunfeng was shocked, "Xingchen, let me tell you, Beijing is really great."

"We can't limit ourselves to Jizhou."

"Although Jizhou is good, it is far inferior to the capital."

“We still have to develop and grow.”

Lu Xingchen and Mr. Liao smiled at each other.

"The emperor is just an old man in his fifties. He doesn't look scary at all." Lu Yunfeng said passionately.

“I was definitely scared at first.”

"But when I saw the emperor, I wasn't that scared anymore. I was not much different from my elder brother."

This is also the result that Lu Xingchen wants.

Go out more often and broaden your horizons. This will broaden your mind and vision and strengthen your ambitions.

Otherwise, Lu Xingchen and Master Guo would always drag them forward, which would be too tiring.

We also need to let them go out and see the outside world.

Just think of it as studying abroad to broaden your horizons.

Lu Xingchen received the appointment letter from the emperor.

This time she really became the governor of Jizhou.

The military governor is responsible for supervising military and civil affairs.

She also had the power to appoint military commanders and the prefect of Jizhou.

After her appointment, she only had to submit a memorial to the emperor to explain the situation.

So Lu Xingchen appointed Lu Yunfeng as the governor of Jizhou.

Mr. Guo was the Sima of Jizhou, and Mr. Liao was the Counselor of Jizhou.

The team of the Jizhou prefectural government was formed.

In the evening, Lu Xingchen came to Master Guo’s courtyard.

Master Guo's servant had already lit the small red clay stove, and the tea on it was bubbling with steam.

"Master, you knew I was coming." Lu Xingchen smiled and sat next to the small stove.

"Jizhou is already under our control. Where should we go next?" Master Guo said straight to the point with a smile.

"Of course it's Yongzhou." Lu Xingchen said.

"Although we are closer to the Great Wei, the Great Wei is too powerful."

Master Guo paced back and forth on the ground, holding a bamboo fan in his hand.

"Yongzhou is divided into north and south. Take North Yongzhou first."

Lu Xingchen nodded, "Take Beiyongzhou first."

Lu Xingchen and Master Guo held the map and discussed how to take Yongzhou.

The process of taking Yongzhou was certainly not as smooth as that of Jizhou.

But this is all expected.

Just like climbing a mountain, the higher you climb, the rougher the road becomes and the steeper the mountain becomes.

"By the way, I brought Xingzhu here. She wants to study with you. You can take her with you from tomorrow." Lu Xingchen said.

Master Guo rolled his eyes at her and said, "It's ok for the others, but how can this second young lady be so easy to lead?"
