Qiji, Qionglin Yan, and Du Zhongxiao all felt that he was an audience. He was just the most ordinary person in the new Jinshi. Except for a few acquaintances who had met before, he did not have too much contact with others.

During this period, Du Zhongxiao went to the most frequently at Li Du's family. Xuzhou is a small place, and Du Zhongxiao was brought to Beijing by Li Du. Now he has finally passed the imperial examination and is honored in the hometown. Li Du also has You Rong. According to Li Du, he met a group of young officials and several Jinshi in the same subject.

By the time of being awarded an official position, the top three were all Beijing officials, the magistrates, the fourth and fifth were Beijing officials, the magistrates, and the six were all selected. At this time, the initial official position of Jinshi had dropped a lot compared with previous years. Except for the top five, most Jinshis started by selecting people.

Han Jiang was appointed as the prince Zhongyun, who was determined to study the steam engine and asked his father Han Yi to proclaim Du Zhongxiao as the military advisor of Haozhou. Haozhou did not belong to Jingxi Road where Du Zhongxiao's hometown was located, and was adjacent to Chenzhou. The prefect was Han Yi. Su Song was reported to the Suzhou Prediction Office by the Court of Justice, and was adjacent to Haozhou. Wang Anshi signed the letter with the proofreader of Huainan, and his capital was Yangzhou. He belonged to Huainan East Road, where the Bian River entered the Yangtze River.

Before Han Jiang participated in the imperial examination, he had an official position and was the highest-ranking Jinshi in this class. Moreover, because Yang Qian died and did not take up his post, Han Jiang became the leader of the undergraduate Jinshi. When the new Jinshi left Beijing, he was extremely busy.

In May, Du Zhongxiao packed his bags and said goodbye to the people in the capital. He first returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, and then waited for the autumn to take office in Haozhou.

Outside Kaifeng City, Du Zhongxiao rode on his horse, looking at the white sails on the Cai River next to him, and the green willows on the shore were as shaded as the shade. He felt very moved. After more than two years of hard work, he finally passed the imperial examination and returned home after he was appointed as an official.

It is difficult to use the official position of his previous life as an analogy. If the magistrate of Haozhou Han Yi is the secretary and the magistrate is the mayor, and the judge and the magistrate are similar to the General Office and the Secretariat? Various functional departments are the magistrates who join the army and the magistrate. The magistrate is not responsible for specific affairs, but helps the magistrates, especially the magistrates handle government affairs, so they are called the magistrate. Wang Anshi belongs to the sequence of Beijing officials, so he is called the magistrate in Huainan Prefecture, but Du Zhongxiao is only a candidate.

Military proclaimers were both Du Zhongxiao's official position and a dispatch, and belonged to the selection rank. In this era, the ranks of prefectures and county officials were relatively chaotic, so the proclaimers were naturally higher than those of county magistrates, but lower than those of county magistrates, because the magistrate was the official of Beijing, but the specific government affairs were subject to the magistrates, and the proclaimers were under the jurisdiction of the proclaimers. Even Du Zhongxiao himself was a little confused. In short, in short, everything was right to follow the orders of the prefect.

Turning his horse's head, Du Zhongxiao said goodbye to Han Jiang and Su Song who came to see him off: "You are grateful for your kindness. This place is far away from the city, so please go back to the city. A few months later, you will leave Beijing and take the post. You must sit in my place. Then we will go to the place where we serve as officials."

Han Jiang smiled and said, "Your family happens to be on the South Road, so you will naturally be disturbed. But Brother Du's return to his hometown this time is not only a list of gold, but also a wedding candle. We cannot come to congratulate you in person, and I feel very uneasy. Please accept some slight gifts."

Su Song gave a gift together, but Du Zhongxiao did not refuse and put it on the way.

Wang Anshi has a long road and has already started to go on the road. He has not yet gotten married, but his hometown and place of office are too far apart, so he can only take office first, and take leave after one or two years to get married. People like them who are determined to take the imperial examinations are normal to get married and have children in their twenties, and Du Zhongxiao is still young.

After repeated greetings, Han Jiang, Su Song and others set off to return to the city. Not only did the three of them have the friendship formed in the capital, but they were close to the place where they served the officials. There were many times when they helped each other in the officialdom in the future. The Haozhou where Du Zhongxiao was in the middle of the three states. The magistrate was Han Jiang's father, and the three of them would not have few contacts in the future. In fact, Han Jiang's original intention of being the magistrate of Chenzhou was to be able to take care of his father nearby.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Du Zhongxiao walked along Cai Henan all the way south, looking at the ships coming and going on the river, and knew in his heart that Han Jiang really wanted to make a steamer driven by the steam engine. Chenzhou, Haozhou and Suzhou are just in the area with a river network, so there is naturally this need.

There are three major water systems in the North China Plain north of the Yangtze River, the Haihe River to the north, the Huaihe River to the south, and the Yellow River in the middle. The Yellow River is the largest, but the basin area is the smallest, and the sea outlet in the downstream is swaying. Due to the accumulation of mud and sand, we either go north to the Haihe River or go south to the Huaihe River. In the middle of this sway, countless ancient river channels flowed down. At this time, the estuary of the Yellow River is in the north, which was the most developed time in the south.

To the south of Kaifeng, with the Bian River as the backbone, plus the Ying River and Ru River tributaries of the Huai River, the shipping is particularly developed. Chenzhou, Haozhou and Suzhou happen to span the most core area of ​​this water system. It is no exaggeration to say that this area is the most developed shipping in the world.

Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head. It is the most difficult thing for officials to do. They are busy with government affairs, but it is difficult to achieve political achievements. Apart from chance, it is basically the magistrate who has the final say. Especially in places like Han Yi, where important officials and old ministers are in charge, they no longer care about common affairs, but the achievements of the officials below are decided by them in one sentence. For Han Jiang to do this, it is a good thing for him, and his political achievements will not suffer any loss.

As far away from the city, Du Zhongxiao calmed down and concentrated on his journey. When he arrived at Qingcheng Town in the south of the city, he was about to get off the horse and find a tavern for dinner, but he saw a figure standing outside the town, waiting and watching here.

When I got closer, it was Cao Jucheng. Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Before I left the city, I was going to say goodbye to you, but you have already left the city. I don't want to wait here. Although you and I have some misunderstandings, now you are an official in the same city, why bother evading?"

Cao Jucheng sighed: "Oh, it's better not to mention it. In the past, I'm sorry for Brother Du. I'm going to work on Jinghu Road, and I probably won't go to Xuzhou since then. After thinking about it, I left without saying goodbye, and I'm a little sorry for my relatives. I'm here to ask Brother Du to bring it to my uncle."

Du Zhongxiao received the letter from Cao Jucheng, and put it in his arms without looking at it. This time, the Jinshi, whether it was Cao Jucheng or Du Zhongxiao himself, they were already in two worlds with Wu Kejiu. All the past disappeared. Because of the conflicts with the Du family in the past, the Wu family would not have a good life in the future. Even the relative Cao Ju CD knew this and cut it off as soon as possible. Du Zhongxiao didn't need to do such things, or even he didn't need to ask about it, the people in the village would beat the dogs in the water.

After receiving the letter, Du Zhongxiao said, "I will definitely bring you my letter. What else do Brother Cao have to say?"

Cao Jucheng bowed: "Thank you, Brother Du, Gao Yi. I still have some industries in Linying County. Please ask Brother Du to deal with it for me. Just sell some money. We will meet you in the future, and Brother Du will give me it. If there is no chance, I am lucky, so I will make it a compensation for Brother Du."

Du Zhongxiao laughed when he heard this: "You have close relatives in Linying County, why do you let me deal with the industry? This matter is absolutely not feasible!"

Cao Jucheng shook his head: "Things are the only thing that can be said now. Brother Du is open-minded and beyond the reach of others, but I am afraid that the people in the village will be as difficult as Brother Du. If the Wu family handles the industry, I am afraid that there will be trouble again. Brother Du has passed the imperial examination and has my letters, who dares to say anything? I am only a few dozen acres of land and a house in the village, so why bother to cause trouble again?"
