Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Zhu Youjian carefully read Han Jiang's information, especially his resume, followed by his family conditions, and shook his head while reading.

Han Jiang has been a county magistrate in many places for nine years. He has no outstanding political achievements and no mistakes. The word "moderate" is more suitable to evaluate his ability. The only bright spot is his integrity and integrity.

According to Zhu Youjian's selection principle of meritocracy, he would rather appoint a capable corrupt official than appoint a mediocre person like Han Jiang to govern the place.

As long as he can govern the place well and lead the local people to get rich, he will admit it even if he is a little greedy. On the contrary, if an upright official like Han Jiang, who is mediocre and stubborn and does not know how to adapt, is allowed to govern the place, it will be a big deal for the local people. If not, it's a disaster.

Zhu Youjian also noticed that although Han Jiang was from Jiangnan, he did not join Ruan Dacheng's Jiangnan faction, nor was he a member of the Donglin Party. A seventh-grade county magistrate like him with no organization, no background, and mediocre ability would have been dismissed long ago. He was transferred to the capital, but he was transferred to the position of magistrate of Jingcheng County. This was extremely lucky.

In fact, the reason is very simple. He is an unexpected beneficiary of the struggle between the Donglin Party and Ruan Dacheng's Jiangnan faction. Neither faction is convinced by the other, and they would rather take advantage of outsiders than allow their sworn enemies to rise to power. They thus inexplicably took advantage of Han Jiang. outsider.

Although the county magistrate is only a small seventh-grade official, he is the lord of the county in the local area and has supreme power. If the heart is dark enough, he can make a lot of money. However, Han Jiang has been a county magistrate for nine years, but he is poor. I live a poor life, and my wife and children's clothes are all patched.

Fortunately, his wife, Mrs. Long, came from a wealthy businessman's family, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law often helped her. Otherwise, his wife and children would have starved to death.

According to the information collected by Jin Yiwei, Han Jiang was able to take office in the capital only because of the support from his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so that he could pay for the journey. The family of four currently rents half a dilapidated private house and lives a miserable life.

This is an upright and honest official, but he is not a good official who can govern the place. Zhu Youjian thought seriously for a while before he figured out how to arrange Han Jiang.

It is said that there are specialties in the arts. This is not a lie. It is absolutely impossible to let Han Jiang govern the place. With his serious, upright and honest character, it is very suitable for him to be placed in the Supervisory Yuan.

Not to mention how many corrupt officials Han Jiang can uncover, but he will definitely disgust the people of the Donglin Party. Of course, everything has two sides, and he may disgust Zhu Youjian in the future, but as a time traveler, Zhu Youjian is tolerant. I have a lot of worries, so I just draw small circles in private to vent.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Wu Buwei, Song Xiance and Gu Junming all had their eyes lit up. Putting Han Jiang in the Supervisory Yuan was really the right place. It would probably help the emperor attract some of the Donglin Party's firepower.

Zhu Youjian accepted the flattery of the three major military advisors with great irritation. He was the superior, but his ability was secondary. The key was to know how to use people and use the right people. This is the experience summed up by the predecessors. He was just standing on the shoulders of giants. Come on, just sit back and enjoy the results.

Han Jiang was summoned into the palace, his thin face flushed with excitement. He was a small seventh-grade county magistrate, and it was a great honor to be summoned by the emperor. Moreover, the emperor also granted him a seat, which made him even more flattered.

He pinched his thigh secretly. It hurt, which meant it was not a dream, but reality.

"Thanks to Han Aiqing, the collection handed down by the late emperor can be recovered. I am very grateful. I am very pleased to have such an upright and good official like Han Aiqing."

Zhu Youjian did not let Han Jiang speak and babbled a lot. After being tortured and interrogated by the Jin Yiwei, Zheng Run had confessed. Liu Ermao, the thief who had sneaked into the palace to steal, had also been caught and was executed by the Jin Yiwei together with Zheng Run.

I appreciate your serious attitude towards work and have decided to transfer you to the Supervisory Yuan to be promoted to the position of Doctor. Work hard and don't live up to my high expectations for you. Your promotion to the Supervisory Yushi will not be a problem in the future.

In addition, in order to thank you for helping me recover the stolen royal collection, I will reward you with a second-class house and a settlement fee of two hundred taels of silver, so as to encourage you to continue working hard and be loyal to the emperor and patriotism.

"Old minister...Old minister...Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty." Han Jiang was so excited that he couldn't speak incoherently, with tears streaming down his face and his whole body trembling.

He couldn't even think about jumping from the seventh-grade county magistrate to the fifth-grade doctor. He jumped two levels at once. He couldn't help but pinch his thigh again. The clear pain confirmed to him that this was not a dream, but real.

Well, it must be the smoke coming out of my ancestral grave.
