It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

In the Great Chu Kingdom, there are four levels: Jingzhou, Prefecture, and County, and each level controls the levels below.

Anding County is affiliated to Yunlai Prefecture, and Yunlai Prefecture governs many counties.

Sun Zhisu, the commander of Yunlai Mansion, had a big head at the moment.

Recently, the Great Chu Kingdom is holding a casting competition.

This competition is similar to the imperial examination.

But it is much more troublesome than the imperial examination.

It was also an attempt by the Great Chu State.

The imperial examination recruits scholars, and the emphasis is on the state of affairs.

The Casting Competition recruits talents related to casting, and they are young talents.

People who achieve government orders naturally have high vision.

He knew very well that the Emperor of Chu State attached great importance to this competition.

Even when the court held a morning meeting, it was stated that each government must hold it seriously.

And there can't be any mistakes.

It's like having a relationship. If you are discovered, your head will be chopped off.

It was precisely because Emperor Xingwu attached great importance to this competition that Sun Fuling felt more and more headaches.

Even if he is sitting in his position, he still wants to climb up.

If you don't do well, or if you do it mediocrely, but other places do better than you, what will the emperor think about it?

But to do it well, you have to master a lot of details.

It was these details that gave him a headache.

"Sir, now, there are many Zhudao people in our house. We must first ensure the safety of this house."

Listening to his subordinate's report, Sun Fuling nodded.

Since it is an imperial edict issued by the imperial court, naturally many people will participate, and safety issues are also a top priority.

"Let the police chiefs step up their patrols. If anyone dares to make a mistake, they will be arrested directly. In addition, let the police officers also cooperate. Many of the people who came this time are Jianghu people. It won't work if they don't cooperate. When the time comes, we will If something goes wrong, they will also have to take responsibility."

Sun Mansion promulgated safety measures one by one.

When it was almost done, he asked his men to leave to implement his measures.

His subordinates left the entire room, leaving only Sun Fu Ling.

"The stakes are very high this time, and we have to ensure fairness. First of all, I have to make myself make fewer mistakes, at least not make mistakes, and don't ask for too much excellence."

Sun Fuling opened the drawer and found a large pile of envelopes inside.

"What a bunch of stupid people."

"You dare to give me gifts at this juncture, and you dare to invite me to a banquet. If you are really discovered, then I won't be able to eat anyone and walk around."

"Originally, when this kind of thing happened in Anding County, I was already under the attention of the Holy Father, and it was solved. Now it's causing all these troubles for me."

"I'm really irritated. I have to go to Anding County tomorrow. After all, it's a place under my jurisdiction. It's not good if I don't go there even once."

The more he thought about it, the more headache he felt, and finally he decided that it would be better to go to bed early.

He is going to Anding County tomorrow.

The new magistrate of Anding County must also go and take a look.

Thinking of this, Sun Fu ordered him to blow out the candles, turn off the lights and rest.

…

The next day.

Morning is a time of great energy.

When the first ray of sunlight shone in from the window, Zhou An put down the book in his hand.

The skill of reading has improved a lot, and he was fascinated by it last night.

Don’t mention it, it seems like this is a better way to kill time than many other things.

"I have to go to the blacksmith shop today and tell Old Zhao that I won't go there for the time being." Zhou An put the book aside, stretched and thought to himself.

For the time being, he wanted to focus on the skills of Pao Ding Jie Ke Knife Technique and Reading. After getting the Chef Ding Jie Ke Knife Technique to Level 5 and Reading Skills to Level 4, he would then think about other skills.

Yesterday, he felt the Qi in his body and found that if he could reach the fifth level of Chef Ding's Jie Niu Knife technique, he would be able to successfully reach the second-rate realm.

At that time, his Qi will change, become more pure, and be able to make a qualitative leap.

"That guy Lao Zhao will probably have to nag me again."

Zhou An stood up, went out early, ate a bowl of noodles outside, and then strolled towards the blacksmith shop.

…

As he expected, when he arrived at the blacksmith shop and explained the reason, Blacksmith Zhao chatted with him for a long time.

I had no choice but to leave the blacksmith shop while talking.

After leaving, he could even hear the sighs from the blacksmith shop.

Zhou An felt relaxed. After saying goodbye to Blacksmith Zhao, he was going to buy some food and go home to cook Ding to learn his skills.

It’s not a problem to eat out every day. Sometimes cooking by yourself is quite delicious.

"It's too expensive, it's cheaper."

"Brother, you have been shopping all over this street. If you find something cheaper than me, I will give it all to you."

"Look at your food, it's already wilted. It could be cheaper."

Zhou An haggled for a while and finally bought some vegetables and returned home.

Zhou An spent the whole morning carving dough.

At noon, he cooked another meal, ate it happily, and was ready to continue practicing the cooking technique.

Unexpectedly, before he could knead the dough, he heard a knock on the door.

"Lao Zhou, are you at home? Let's go out and watch the fun."

Yu Hang's voice was very loud, and the door's soundproofing was not very good, so Zhou An could hear it clearly.

"Come on, come on, stop knocking, stop knocking."

Zhou An was speechless, what else is there to see in Anding County?

When he opened the door, he saw Yu Hang looking excited, pulling his sleeve and planning to go out.

"Wait, tell me first, what excitement do you want to see?" Zhou An asked.

"Didn't you hear the news today? The government order came down and they said they wanted to see the new county magistrate."

Yu Hang explained.

"Originally, according to common sense, when a new county magistrate takes office, he has to report to the government magistrate, but Wu Youde was appointed directly from Beijing. In addition, there is no magistrate in Anding County. To stabilize the situation, he came directly."

Zhou An felt even more strange when he heard this.

Does this have anything to do with yourself?

The government officer wants to come over to inspect and see if there is anything interesting to see.

Before he could ask, Yu Hang saw what Zhou An was thinking and quickly came over.

"You don't know, right? When the government order came, I saw Wu Youde sleeping. Think about it, how angry he is."

"No, the magistrate is angry. Your new magistrate of Anding County has not been in office for a long time, and he doesn't care about anything. In addition, there seems to be some casting competition recently. The two things overlap, and now he is in the county government office. They are scolding each other, let’s go and watch the excitement.”

Yuhang was very happy when he mentioned this. At that time, he saw that the county magistrate was very unhappy. Now that the county magistrate was scolded, of course he was happy.

Zhou An frowned slightly when he heard this.

"This guy is so brave. He is still sleeping at this time."

"That's not true. The new official is very good at playing tricks when he takes office, but in fact he is just a waste." Yu Hang said.

This guy is quite well informed.

"I heard that it was the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce that I relied on, and I wanted to be selected as soon as possible, so I didn't care about other things, so I just wanted to rely on other chambers of commerce."

The more Yu Hang talked, the happier he became.

Zhou An thought for a while, he didn't want to join in the fun.

But his brother seemed very happy. He wanted to go over and have a look, and he wouldn't waste much time.

What's more, it is also a pleasure to watch Wu Youde's grandson being scolded.

So I followed Yu Hang and went to the county government office together.

The two of them walked very quickly. After all, they were there to watch the excitement. When they got there late, the excitement became cooler.

When Zhou An arrived at the county government office, he found that many people were already watching the county government office.

The sound was a bit noisy, and only after Zhou An came closer did he hear the cursing inside the county government office.

"Why are you evacuating the people and letting them just watch and see how you run the county?"

"What did you do after you came here? At this time, even if you have nothing to do, you still have to sit in the county government office and still sleep?"

"I know what you're thinking."

"It's true that you went to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. Yes, they helped you with the economy here and can indeed help you pass the selection."

"Then have you ever thought about it. The governance of a place does not rely solely on economics. Why are you an official?"

The noise came from inside the yamen. Zhou An stood up and took a look, and was immediately happy.

Wu Youde stood in the lobby timidly, and sitting in the lobby was a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looks upright, wears official uniform, and is not angry but has authority.

Especially the beard that reaches his chest adds a bit of seriousness and majesty.

"This should be Sun Fu Ling, what a good scold!" Yu Hang muttered.

Zhou An also felt that the scolding was quite good.

Not only the two of them, but also the people around them secretly applauded.

In the lobby, Sun Fuling cursed for a while but did not shy away from the people.

In Zhou An's opinion, this gesture was quite aboveboard.

He didn't know what Sun Fu Ling was like, but at least doing this would make the people feel comfortable.

"It's no fun to leave."

But after watching it for a while, he felt it was no longer interesting, so he and Yu Hang prepared to leave.

Yu Hang also wanted to study. The two of them just came to join in the fun and didn't read much.

It didn't take long for the two of them to leave the county government office and rush home.

Sun Fuling was still scolding him. After scolding him for a while, he told Wu Youde to get out.

Wu Youde looked unlucky, but he really couldn't resist the government order.

After all, this person is his immediate superior. If you dare to get into trouble with your immediate superior, you are going to be extremely unlucky.

Fortunately, everyone is a scholar, so the curses are not too bad.

After Wu Youde endured it for a while, he was finally relieved.

The common people saw that there was no excitement and gradually dispersed.

Wu Youde stood below. Although he had finished scolding, he did not dare to leave.

Sun Fuling took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

He planned to go home.

This time he came here just for inspection. He was not satisfied with the results he got now, so he planned to go back to the house and write a report.

A few words of scolding will not wake a person up. He will submit this document to the top, and someone will naturally deal with it when the time comes.

Anyone who is familiar with Sun Fuling knows that he is an upright person.

Since becoming an official, he has been really outspoken.

Dare to say anything and do anything.

Just like this matter, an ordinary official can just curse a few times, but he must report it to his superiors.

Sun Fuling stood up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a young man dressed in ordinary clothes suddenly walked over.

"Sir, I found someone."

Sun Fuling was slightly startled and looked at the young man subconsciously.

Isn't this a casting competition?

This young man is also a Taoist, his name is Wang Meng.

However, Wang Meng was not from Jianghu, but was an official in Yunlai Mansion.

He is responsible for most of the mineral resources in Yunlai Mansion.

Including the mining rights of some mines, they are also under his jurisdiction.

Yunlai Mansion is very big.

Sun Fuling couldn't do everything personally, so he had to delegate some of his power.

This time, he brought Wang Meng here by the way. In addition to scolding Wu Youde, he also wanted to see the mining rights in Anding County.

After all, it was an imperial edict issued by the Holy Father himself, and the mineral rights were opened. He thought of touching the minerals within Yunlai Mansion again to avoid mistakes.

That’s why I bring professionals with me.

"What can surprise you so much?" Sun Fuling asked.

Although Wang Meng is young, he does have some abilities in the Zhudao lineage.

This time, Wang Meng also participated in the competition.

Of course, Sun Fuling didn't dare to have any relationships, and everything depended on his own ability.

This talented young man now looked mysterious, and Sun Fuling became interested.

Wang Meng whispered: "I found a man with a money bag hanging on his waist. He has an extraordinary origin. I am also a Taoist. I can tell it at a glance..."

As Sun Fuling listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Unfortunately, there were too many people at the time and Wang Meng did not go out.

But Wang Meng remembered the color of the money bag.

"It's a very...pink color."

After Wang Meng finished speaking, Sun Fuling immediately looked at Wu Youde.

"There is a person here with a pink money bag hanging around his waist. Do you know who he is?"

Wu Youde was a little confused, feeling that the topic had suddenly changed.

but……

As long as you don't scold him, everything will be fine.

"Pink money bag..."

Wu Youde was racking his brains at this time.

He felt that the time had come for him to please Sun Fuling.

"Pink money bag, pink money bag..."

Wu Youde was thinking about it in his mind crazily.

He always felt familiar, but he couldn't figure out who it was.

At this moment, Sun Captou, who had been silent all this time, whispered something.

"Sir, didn't Zhou An just carry a pink money bag? We, the detectives, were still laughing at him at that time."

When Wu Youde heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He remembered that there was indeed a pink money bag on Zhou An's waist.

And it’s very eye-catching.

You can tell at a glance that it is something used by girls.

etc!

Wu Youde looked like he had eaten shit.

Why is everything related to Zhou An?

And judging from the appearance of Fu Ling, he didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

"Why am I so unlucky that I offended him as soon as I came here?"

"It seems it's too late to remedy the situation now."

Thinking of this, especially the fact that even Qi Shuo from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce spoke kindly to Zhou An, Wu Youde felt very sad.

But he also knew that it would be useless to regret at this time.

"Sir, you should be talking about Zhou An. I will take you there." Wu Youde said humbly.

Sun Fuling hurriedly stood up and said: "Hurry!"

But Capt. Sun said from the side: "Don't bother me with these matters, sir. I will just send someone to arrest him. Indeed, he dared to offend the county magistrate. It is like a slap in the face of Anding County!"

Having said this, Sun Captou even raised his head proudly.

He felt like he made the right decision.

From this look, it seems that Zhou An must have offended the government order. If he comes out and says something like this, the government order will definitely look at him differently.

After all, in his narrow world view, he believed that Zhou An must not be able to contact the government order.

If there is really a connection, the only way is to offend them.

Wu Youde's face turned dark.

Are you really sick?

Didn't you see the excitement on Mr. Fu Ling's face?

Apart from giving gifts, you have no vision at all, right?

"Somebody come!"

Wu Youde said angrily: "Pull Mr. Sun down and hit him with ten boards!"

Capt. Sun: "?"

Why are you hitting me again?
