The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

However, Sun Shan soon let it go after seeing the second report.

This is a document specially written for him by Chenzhou Prefecture.

It probably said something like thanking the magistrate of Yuanlu for helping to suppress the bandits and bringing peace to the people, and finally gave a reward of 200 taels.

Sun Shan quickly opened another box, revealing the glittering silver ingots.

Emma, ​​immediately blinded his high triangular eyes.

Emma, ​​if you had told me earlier, he wouldn't have been so angry.

Sun Shan touched the silver ingot excitedly, and the more he touched it, the cuter it felt.

She is round and plump, and he likes her just like a little fat girl.

Chenzhou Prefecture and the garrisons, no, it should be mainly the garrisons. Reports to the court focused on the "garrisons," praising their heroic suppression of bandits while briefly mentioning Sun Shan.

Although the report from Chenzhou Prefecture briefly mentioned rewarding Sun Shan, the focus was on giving money, which left people speechless.

Sun Shan felt a little strange. How did the garrison convince Liu Yineng of Chenzhou Prefecture to give 90% of the work to the garrison, 80% of the 10% to the prefect of Chenzhou, and 20% of the remaining 10% to the magistrate of Yuanlu.

Could it be that the head of the garrison had a secret relationship with Liu Yi? Or were the two secretly colluding and exchanging benefits?

Many officials rushed to claim credit for this great achievement of suppressing bandits, and would even exaggerate it when reporting it to their superiors to make their own political achievements even more outstanding.

For example, if you suppress 50 bandits, the report may show that you suppress 100 bandits.

Because Sun Shan's immediate superior was Prefect Liu, the report he submitted must have highlighted Prefect Liu's contributions.

Sun Shan couldn't understand why Magistrate Liu was willing to play a supporting role.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.

He was just a seventh-rank local official. Although he was much higher than a ninth-rank official, he was still insignificant in front of the big guys above him.

You must act more cautiously in the future. The big guys above are "colluding" with each other. If you touch their interests, you might be killed in minutes.

County Magistrate Wang, who was hiding far away, stared at Sun Shan in amazement.

At first, he was frightened by his "venomous snake" eyes and took a few steps back. Then he saw Sun Shan looking at a small box of silver ingots with shining eyes.

Then we see Sun Shan sometimes frowning, sometimes grinning, his face full of "colors", like the weather in May, unpredictable.

Emma, ​​Mr. Sun’s expression changes so much. What exactly is written in the letter?

Even though County Magistrate Wang considered himself the overlord of Yuanlu County, he did not dare to open the letter written by his superiors without permission, so he did not know what was written on it.

But when I saw silver ingots sticking out of a small box, I knew it must be a good thing.

Why was Lord Sun angry at first? He only smiled when he saw the silver ingot.

County Magistrate Wang was stunned for a moment, his head was stuck, and suddenly the greedy look of "Sun Shan who loves money like his life" appeared in his mind.

It was especially special to see Sun Shan touching the silver ingots with his own eyes, as if he had obtained the best tea.

Emma, ​​he seemed to have discovered the truth: this Lord Sun is a greedy person!

Emma, ​​no wonder Lord Sun accepted their gifts with an indifferent expression. Could it be that they gave the wrong gifts?

County Magistrate Wang recalled that on the first day he welcomed Lord Sun into the city, he had prepared a good banquet, but he had not prepared any "gold ingots" as gifts.

Emma, ​​no wonder Lord Sun is indifferent to their yamen. It seems that he blames them for not knowing how to behave and not giving him money.

County Magistrate Wang continued to recall that during the time Sun Shan was serving as an official in Yuanlu, he was either hiding out on inspections or hiding in the office. The number of times he spoke to his subordinates could be counted on dozens of fingers.

It's all business, and I don't want to fit in with their circle or be in cahoots with them.

At present, it seems that Lord Sun thinks that they do not know how to behave and do things, and have not given him any generous gifts, so he adopts this "neither salty nor bland" way of getting along with them and leaves them aside.

Just ask yourself, which county magistrate, when he becomes an official, does not entertain this and that person, gather information from each other, and seek opportunities for cooperation?

Win over those who can be won over, and suppress those who cannot be won over.

Their Lord Sun was completely different. He had been here for two or three months, but apart from a welcoming banquet and a banquet for local gentry, he had never eaten or drunk tea with them.

Anyone with some ability in Yuanlu County thought Sun Shan was a weird official and was afraid he might be planning something big.

County Magistrate Wang also thought so. He always felt that Sun Shan was doing something secretly and would find the right opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Everyone was worried because they had no idea how they would be dealt with.

The only certainty is that Sun Shan attached great importance to the county school. County Magistrate Wang and others suspected that Sun Shan was using the scholars in the county school to fight against them, the officials.

Scholars are very good at talking. They can even say that something is dead but alive, and salted fish is alive. County Magistrate Wang and his gang have been keeping a close eye on the county school these days.

But nothing was discovered.

There is also my eldest nephew who is under house arrest in the inner courtyard. In name, he is studying, but in reality it is a disguised form of house arrest.

Not only him, but even his eldest nephew's parents could only meet from afar if they wanted to, and there was no chance for close contact at all.

The people in his own yamen had no way to get close to his nephew.

If he hadn't heard his nephew reading every day, County Magistrate Wang would have really suspected that his nephew was dead.

County Magistrate Wang thought about it, but he just couldn't figure out what Sun Shan was going to do.

Now seeing Sun Shan looking at a box of silver ingots glittering with starlight, they were suddenly shocked to realize that Sun Shan was not going to deal with them, but was leaving them hanging.

It’s just because they don’t know how to behave and won’t give Sun Shan a generous gift.

Of course, this generous gift is a big gold ingot.

This Lord Sun is so secretive. People think that a true scholar like him who has passed the imperial examination twice would regard money as dirt, but in fact he loves money as his life.

Especially when I looked at the silver ingot just now, wow, it was like looking at a beautiful girl.

Emma, ​​County Magistrate Wang discovered Sun Shan’s biggest secret and couldn’t help but get excited.

If they like money, then they like money. In the future, they will use money to pave the way and ensure that they can get along well with Sun Shan.

What I fear most is the so-called "clean officials" who have no desires or demands.

These subordinates can only fish in muddy waters.

Now that my boss also likes to slack off, we naturally have topics to talk about and can get along better and slack off together.

County Magistrate Wang pretended not to notice anything and stepped forward to ask, "Lord Sun, what news has come from Chenzhou Prefecture?"

He glanced at the box of silver ingots. It was such an obvious thing, and Lord Sun would not keep it secret.

Sun Shan was truly upright and handed the document to County Magistrate Wang for a look.

He said, "I'll issue a notice later to let the people of Yuanlu know that the bandits in the area around Wuling Mountain have been wiped out. The people can live in peace and the merchants can travel freely."

As for commendations and the like, they will definitely not be written in the notice.
