I have a magical tree

If he wants to catch up with his master, it is impossible to do so quickly, unless he reveals that he is a mid-level alchemist.

But he and his master both think it is too early now.

Promotion in the Shangyi Bureau is actually very simple, especially for alchemists. Xu Dao has jumped so many levels in just a short time. This speed will make anyone dumbfounded.

"Actually, what I mean is that at your age, the seventh rank is already very high! But the mansion master thinks that giving you a sixth rank is just right!" Old Wang looked at Xu Dao. "But it's true. If you have the ability, what's the fear of being younger? In the Shangyi Bureau, seniority is the least valuable thing!"

When Xu Dao first arrived in the city, he was only an eighth rank, but at that time, the people above him didn't know his specific rank as an alchemist, so this official rank was actually low.

Now that he has been confirmed to be a third-rank alchemist, it is not too much to give him a sixth rank.

When Ge Lao was in Yanghe County, he was also a sixth-rank chief physician. Now he is a fourth-rank doctor, serving as the chief clerk of the Shangyi Bureau.

Of course, the only difference between Xu Dao and Ge Lao at that time is age!

Xu Dao is too young, so young that even Wang Lao knew Xu Dao's ability, but he only dared to ask for a seventh-rank doctor.

That is, Nangong Nei didn't care about this matter at all, and directly decided to appoint him a sixth-rank doctor.

Above the seventh rank and below the fifth rank, it is necessary to report to the county city, and the county city needs to agree before it will take effect.

"How can it be so fast? The county governor hasn't returned to the county city yet?"

"Of course, other things won't work. If the county governor doesn't return, this document will not work, but... the Shangyi Bureau is an exception! In fact, most of the time, the county governor is too lazy to participate in this thing. As long as the Shangyi Bureau of the county city has no objection and the prefectural city has no objection, then this matter will be done. Just tell the county governor afterwards!"

I can only say that the Shangyi Bureau is really wild! He only knew that the promotion system of the Medical Bureau was unique and different from that of ordinary officials, but he didn't expect it to be so wild.

"This is Wang Dayi's care for you. Seeing that you will be transferred to the prefectures and counties tomorrow, he said that he would raise your rank to avoid being despised when you go down." Ge Lao spoke at the right time.

Xu Dao hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Wang Lao!"

"You are too young. If your rank is lower, it will be difficult to do things when you go down!" Wang Lao has his own considerations.

Now Xu Dao's rank is already among the top three in the Medical Bureau of the prefecture city. In addition to Wang Lao and his master who are higher than him, only Wang Lao's eldest disciple Cui Zhou has the same rank as him, because Cui Zhou is also a third-rank alchemist.

When an alchemist is transferred to a prefecture and county, it is not as simple as refining pills and making medicines. There are many things to be responsible for, which is equivalent to the imperial envoy of the Medical Bureau of the prefecture city!

"How many people will go down this time?" Xu Dao asked.

"Still two people! They will be sent to different states and counties, each responsible for one. After all, the affairs of the prefecture are also very heavy, and we can't go too many at once."

The main task of the alchemist is to refine pills. The annual demand for pills in the prefecture has always been very large, but the output of pills has always been insufficient.

This year, there are more Ge Lao and Xu Dao in the Shangyi Bureau. The pressure on the Shangyi Bureau is much smaller, but the shortage is still not small.

"Does the state and county choose by yourself?"

"That's not entirely true. The states and counties that other alchemists have visited this year are not among the choices. When we let the alchemists go to the states and counties, we naturally want to treat them equally."

Xu Dao nodded, "I understand! How many states and counties are left that you haven't visited?"

"Quankang County, Pingtong County, Qingyun County, Fuyuan County..." Wang Lao pondered for a moment, "You can choose any of these places."

"Qingyun County!" Xu Dao suddenly remembered that Keling Village was a village under the jurisdiction of Qingyun County, and he didn't know how the old lady was!

Have the women and children in Keling Village been settled now? Xu Dao couldn't help with this kind of thing. His identity at that time was not open to the public, and he couldn't make any promises to other places. Helping them get revenge was the best he could do.

However, after he came back that time, he went to inquire about Liang Zuo's official reputation. He felt that with this person, this kind of aftermath should not be a problem.

The reason why Liang Zuo still hasn't returned at this time may be because of this matter.

"Qingyun County? Sure!" Wang Lao's eyes suddenly became meaningful.

Chen Er's matter was still covered up by him. It should be said or not. The county governor is the county governor, and the first-grade master is the first-grade master. He was scared that day, but he was knowledgeable after all, so he was fooled by him.

He knew there was something behind it. Later, he found out that it was actually involved in such a bloody case.

Otherwise, he would not choose to help Nangong Nei cover up in every possible way, insisting that Chen Er woke up after Fu Zun left.

Xu Dao looked at Old Wang's expression and was a little surprised. It seemed that Old Wang should know something, but the problem was probably not on his side, but on the side of Nangong.

However, he remained calm and pretended not to know.

At this time, Mao Chun and Mao Xia had already helped Xu Dao get the new official robe and seal back.

How to say it, the official robe of the sixth rank is really good, both in terms of workmanship and material, much better than the clothes Xu Dao bought himself.

Of course, this is also related to Xu Dao's dislike of fancy clothes.

"Okay, you go ahead! We won't delay you here!" Old Wang put down the teacup and left Canxia Hall with his master.

He was going to Qingyun County for more than half a month, so naturally he had something to say to his master, but there was no need to say it here.

So, Xu Dao got up quickly and sent the two out.

When he returned to the Canxia Palace, he saw that Mao Chun and Mao Xia were all smiling.

"Why are you so happy? Most of the time, the medical officer's rank doesn't count!" Although he was in a good mood, he was not too happy.

As he said, the medical officer's rank in the Shangyi Bureau is not very useful most of the time.

"The low-rank ones are naturally useless, but they are still useful above the seventh rank!" Mao Chun said with a smile. "Moreover, the sixth-rank officials can get some great merits every year. This alone is something that many people envy."

Xu Dao nodded, which means that he doesn't care much about this aspect, but others still care a lot. Wearing this official robe, if you want to say that there is any special power, it's not, but this official robe is a kind of protection in itself.

"And, my lord, don't forget that whether it is an official rank or a pharmacist's rank, the proportion of surrender can be reduced. In the past, for a hundred pills, even if they were all top-grade, thirty-five pills needed to be surrendered, and for the sixth-rank position, this number can be reduced by five more!" Mao Chun reminded again.

This time Xu Dao was really happy, "Finally there are some practical benefits!"
