Lin is like a courtyard gate.


    Then, accompanied by several attendants of King Wu''s residence, Zhou he came in.


    "Brother Jiang, what are you doing these two days? Is it so difficult to see you? Fortunately, I''m blocking you this time, otherwise I''ll doubt whether you''re deliberately avoiding me! Am I so unpopular with you?"


    As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhou he couldn''t help complaining.


    A series of questions made Su xiaonuan suddenly flash. Looking at Zhou He, he said seriously, "little prince, young master used to have a friend who also likes to ask questions."


    Zhou he just came here the day before yesterday. Although he is not familiar with the Lin family, he at least knows each other.


    It''s just that I still don''t know what kind of character Su xiaonuan is, so I can''t help being serious when I look at Su xiaonuan''s serious face.


    He asked, "friends who also like to ask questions? And then?"


    "Then he died."


    Su xiaonuan said very seriously.


    "Dead... Dead?"


    Zhou he was stunned, and some confused subconsciously answered, "this... This is really a sad thing."


    "Yes, it''s so sad."


    Su xiaonuan nodded seriously and agreed.


    Lin Wanqing and Lin Wanru couldn''t help but don''t turn their heads. Jiang Fan coughed twice in embarrassment.


    He resolutely changed the topic and said, "I don''t know why his Highness the son came to find me?"


    "Of course it''s a good thing. Brother Jiang, congratulations. After the royal decree issued by my father, you are now the city captain of Heyang city! I came to tell you about it and confirm with you when you plan to take office!"


    Listening to Jiang Fan''s diversion, Zhou he was also secretly relieved and hurriedly said with an excited face.


    Because he always felt that he didn''t match Su xiaonuan. Although he couldn''t hear what Su xiaonuan said, he instinctively felt something was wrong.


    "Heyang city... City captain?"


    Jiang Fan repeated it, but he didn''t understand what it was.


    "Yes! Aren''t you excited? I understand. After all, it''s equivalent to climbing to the sky. My father has to bear a lot of pressure to suddenly recommend you to such a high position, so you have to work hard and don''t let my father down."


    Zhou he understood Jiang Fan''s expression as excessive surprise, smiled and patted Jiang Fan on the shoulder.


    "Wait a minute, this city captain... What exactly is it? Why does your father want me to be a city captain of Lao Shizi?"


    Jiang Fan frowned and asked.


    "Eh? You don''t know what Cheng Wei does?"


    Zhou he was surprised.


    "Of course, should I know?"


    Jiang Fan rolled his eyes.


    "Well... In short, Chengwei is the second most powerful position in Heyang city after Chengshou. Due to the special characteristics of Heyang City, Chengshou and Chengwei have higher grades than their counterparts in other cities. Chengshou is from the third grade, while Chengwei is the fourth grade."


    Seeing that Jiang fan doesn''t seem to be faking, he should really have no understanding at all. Zhou he can only continue to introduce: "unlike the city guard, who is responsible for all the government affairs of Heyang City, the duties of the city captain are relatively simple, mainly responsible for public security, arrest, justice and other affairs. Some troublesome cases that are difficult to make a decision by sentencing often need the city captain to make a clear decision."


    Um? Isn''t this equivalent to the director of public security plus the president of the court?


    Jiang fan is a little confused.


    Inexplicably... I''m an official?! And it sounds like an official position is not small!


    Is the selection of official positions in the Zhou Dynasty so casual?


    I don''t seem to have done anything. What''s wrong with Zhou he''s father?


    "How''s it going? Aren''t you very happy? As for the reason why my father made you a city captain, it''s mainly for your safety. Gu Yan is full of hostility to you, and we don''t know the reason at the moment. But after all, he is the son of the city guard. If you are always a mediator, you will suffer a lot in the face of Gu Yan''s hostility."


    "So given you such a position, although you are nominally a subordinate of Gu Haoran, you actually perform your duties. Gu Haoran can''t control you at any time except when you need to be polite to Gu Haoran on occasions. In this way, it''s very difficult for Gu Yan to deal with you again."


    Zhou he said with a smile that I was all for your expression.


    Believe you!


    Do you think you are Lei Feng?


    Jiang Fan despised it in his heart, but on the surface he was puzzled and asked, "don''t you need the imperial examination for such a high position? How can I be an official without merit?"


    As soon as the words were spoken, Jiang fan made it. Everyone at the scene except Lin Wanru looked at himself with a strange look.


    I felt a little hairy in my heart, touched the tip of my nose and said with a bitter smile, "what? I said the wrong thing?"


    "Well... Young master, we adopted the method of recommendation and imperial examination in Dazhou. It''s OK to ask for fame in the imperial examination you said. But it''s also OK for nobles and aristocratic families to recommend. If it''s recommended by a prince like King Wu himself, there''s no problem with the official position of Heyang City captain although it''s a little higher."


    Su xiaonuan said.


    I have to... I have suffered the loss of failing in common sense.


    But this common sense problem was explained by Su xiaonuan, which finally made Jiang Fan feel uncomfortable.


    It seems that he is more stupid than Su xiaonuan, which is absolutely unbearable!


    "Cough, well, Xiao Nuan knows a lot. In this way, I''ll give you an interesting question and let you answer it. What do you think?"


    Jiang Fan coughed and pretended to say.


    Su xiaonuan was stunned, reached out and patted his bald head. He was very boastful and said, "Oh, young master, I remember. There are still things in my workshop. Let''s go first!"


    With that, Jiang Fan was not given a chance to answer, and the whole person escaped directly from the courtyard.


    Zhou he looked blankly and always felt as if he had missed something again.


    But what was missed is unknown.


    "HMM... your highness, the city captain, can I be wrong?"


    A word scared away Su xiaonuan. Jiang Fan pondered, looked at Zhou he and asked.


    "Improper? Why?"


    Zhou he was obviously unprepared for such a reply.


    "Because I''m lazy... I''m too young to be an official. If I really want to be a city captain, I must catch fish for three days and dry the net for two days. I''m afraid I''m too lazy to even go to the Yamen. It''s bad to humiliate the Lord at that time."


    Jiang Fan spread out his hands and told the truth.


    Zhou he fell into a dull state again. After a while, he suddenly clenched his teeth and said, "the imperial court stipulates that the salary of officials of the fourth grade is 2000 Guan a year. Heyang city is special. In addition to the official salary, there will be a clean government subsidy equivalent to the salary every year. Coupled with other miscellaneous inputs, the salary of the city captain can reach about 5000 Guan a year!"


    "How many?! five thousand?"


    Jiang Fan was shocked. Doesn''t that mean... An annual salary of $5 million?! Fourth grade officer?!


    Is there such a way to be an official in the Zhou Dynasty?


    "Yes, five thousand passes! Excluding possible rewards from other aspects!"


    Zhou He nodded.


    "Your Highness, when do you think I''d better start?"


    Jiang Fan asked sincerely without affectation.
