Quick Wear: All the villains who raised me have been cleansed

Chapter 356: I am the head of a family in a world dominated by women

"Wan Jie'er, in the blink of an eye you are going to be an official. I don't know where you are going, and I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future!"

Gongsun Can looked at Lin Wanwan and felt a little envious.

Being able to become the local official is already the best outcome.

Some people could even only be a chief clerk. Although it was an official position, it always felt a bit wasted for them who had studied hard for more than ten years.

It is extremely difficult to climb up from a chief clerk to the position of county magistrate, even more difficult than passing the imperial examination.

It would be better to be an aide to a big shot, where your position is higher.

"I'm going to Qingshan County to take up a post, Sister Can, you can come to Qingshan County to find me when you have time."

"Although we have separated, the friendship between us will not fade away. If you have any questions in the future, you can write to me."

The two chatted for a long time before Gongsun Can returned home.

Before leaving, he gave Lin Wanwan a gift with two hundred taels of silver notes inside. The silver notes were only discovered later when he was sorting out things.

Lin Wanwan also began to pack her luggage, planning to go to Qingshan County to take up her post.

This time, she wanted to take Zixian with her to check out the place first, and then bring her parents and Xiaobao over after they were settled there.

The two old people had no objection to this, as they also couldn't let go of their family's land.

After preparing for a few days at home, Lin Wanwan went to the county town, rented a horse carriage, and set off for Qingshan County with Zixian.

As a newly appointed county magistrate, she can recruit several personal guards.

These guards are equivalent to officials' servants. After arriving at the local area, they can directly join the government office as yamen runners.

But Lin Wanwan doesn’t have any good candidates at the moment, so she plans to wait and see.

The quota is there, and it’s not too late to recruit people when they are needed.

It took six or seven days of bumpy journey to finally arrive in Qingshan County.

Qingshan County is a remote small county with a small area and a small population.

It is easy to govern such a place. After all, the common people are afraid of officials. As long as she does not back down, no one dares to do anything to her.

The term "local tyrant" can really well describe the person who serves as a county magistrate in such a small place.

When they arrived at the Qingshan County government office, there were special people guarding the office. Upon seeing the two of them arriving, the leading captain stepped forward and shouted.

"What are you doing here? If you want to report a crime, go through the side door. If you want to see the judge, he hasn't come yet. Come back two days later."

Although the captain's attitude was not very good, what he said perfectly solved the doubts of the people who came to the county government.

Lin Wanwan looked at the captain of the police and felt somewhat satisfied.

The official has enough authority, but he does not bully others by taking advantage of his power.

As for the bad tone, that's just how he looks, what can we do?

When you work in the government, if you speak softly, the people will not be afraid of you, and then it will be a hassle to manage them.

These black-faced people are needed to manage things so that the people under them will be afraid of them.

"I am your new county magistrate. Here are my official seal and documents."

Lin Wanwan took out something to prove her identity, and the captain knelt down immediately when he saw it.

"I am your subordinate, I don't know you are here, I hope you can forgive me!"

I didn't expect that this guy is so big and strong. He doesn't look like a sissy, but more like a man.

But his eyesight was quite good, and he gave her a great salute right from the start.

"Get up, take me to the county government office first. I need to understand the recent situation in Qingshan County first."

Hearing Lin Wanwan say this, the captain quickly took them into the inner courtyard.

This is where the county magistrate rests. The yard is large and there are many rooms.

The house is a mixture of new and old, and it seems that it has been renovated by successive county magistrates.

"Zixian, clean up here first. I'll go to the front with them to take a look!"

After saying that, Lin Wanwan followed the captain to the office in the front.

A clerk in his 40s is busy with official duties.

On weekdays, when the county magistrate is away, the chief clerk helps to handle official business.

Lin Wanwan walked over and saw that this man was quite serious about his work. He read every document carefully and wrote his approval.

"Master Wang, this is our new county magistrate!"

After the two sides got to know each other through the introduction of the head of the police, the other party seriously told Lin Wanwan some information about Qingshan County.

"Sir, our Qingshan County is not big, and the population is not large, but the gap between the rich and the poor is a bit large. In some places, the land is barren and can't grow food, so the people suffer."

"In some places, the land is fertile, but there is a lack of water for irrigation, so the harvest is not very good."

"The places with fertile land and plenty of water are too small, so most of the people living there are from well-off families."

Ultimately, it is because of the uneven distribution that the people cannot find the right way out, resulting in a widening gap between the rich and the poor.

The poor are getting poorer, the rich are getting richer, and those in the middle are a little better off, but they all have their own troubles.

After listening to what Wang Zhubu said, Lin Wanwan asked him to continue handling his official business while she had to investigate carefully before coming up with a solution.

Seeing that Lin Wanwan was also a man who got things done, Wang Zhubu was very happy. He gathered all the people in the county government office together and asked them to listen to the words of the county magistrate.

Lin Wanwan was also in a good mood. She met a group of sensible subordinates and there were no difficult ones. How could she be in a bad mood?

After meeting all the yamen runners with Wang Zhubu, Lin Wanwan returned to her residence.

She planned to go around the county town the next day and had to have a clear understanding of all the villages under her jurisdiction.

In the next few days, Lin Wanwan went out early and came back late, running between the fields and villages every day.

Inspect the land, understand the people's demands, check the crops suitable for planting in the local area, and solve the problems raised by the people.

It took Lin Wanwan half a month to travel through the entire Qingshan County.

After returning to the county government office, she immediately began to make a plan.

Where the land is fertile, local crops continue to be grown.

In areas where there is a shortage of water, water wheels and digging ditches were introduced as solutions.

Lin Wanwan had drawn the blueprint of the waterwheel before, so she took out the manuscript directly from the space and gave it to Wang Zhubu, asking him to find a craftsman to make it.

As for the villagers living in the mountainous areas with barren land, Lin Wanwan encouraged them to plant tea trees next year.

The rich people in this world love to drink tea, and tea is also a relatively valuable product.

It is difficult to grow crops on the mountains, but you can plant tea trees to generate income.

In addition to tea gardens, chicken farms, duck farms, and goose farms can also be established.

Lin Wanwan is very familiar with handling these matters.

Before we knew it, the first snowflakes fell from the sky.

There was only a thin layer of snow, and apart from the fact that the weather was a little chilly, the temperature was much higher than in the true north.

The common people only wore a thicker coat at most and did not even use cotton clothes.

Lin Wanwan also took this opportunity to return to her hometown and bring her parents and son Xiaobao over.

The family was finally reunited, sitting in the warm room, eating hot pot and chatting.
