The best ring

"The notice of the county magistrate?"

"Has the county magistrate finally remembered us scholars? I thought he only had the warriors in his eyes."

"Who said it wasn't? Since the county magistrate arrived, the people he has come into contact with are either warriors or businessmen. It just happens that he has the least contact with us scholars. Without us scholars, who will help him govern this county?"

"It seems that the county magistrate has come to his senses."

In front of the notice posted by the servants of the Wu Mansion, a group of young people wearing blue shirts and holding folding fans surrounded the notice and discussed it. These people are the scholars in Qingyuan County.

Although Qingyuan County is small, it is not short of scholars. In this world, the ruling class also promotes the idea that everything is inferior, only reading is superior. Scholars are superior, especially those scholars who have passed the imperial examinations. They can have privileges such as not bowing to officials and being exempted from taxes.

The difference between this world and the feudal society in reality is that the county magistrates and city lords of this era are appointed by the emperor, but their subordinates can be appointed by themselves. For officials with ranks such as legal advisors and head constables, the county magistrates and city lords only need to report the list, and generally, the emperor will not reject it.

Of course, there are also direct appointments by the emperor himself, but this is relatively rare.

In other words, Wu Fan, the county magistrate of Qingyuan County, has the right to appoint officials in the county government.

When Wu Fan's appointment spread, the scholars in Qingyuan County were all looking forward to being recruited by Wu Fan and embarking on a career in officialdom. However, at that time, Wu Fan did not recruit any of them, but was quite close to the warriors and businessmen, which made the scholars in Qingyuan County very dissatisfied, and because of their inner pride, they did not take the initiative to visit Wu Fan.

Now, Wu Fan finally posted a notice to recruit talents. The scholars in Qingyuan County were very happy. At the same time, they also felt that Wu Fan was bowing to them and giving in.

"Hey, Mr. Luo, you are here too?"

"The great scholar Luo is not studying at home, but is out?"

"I heard that the great scholar Luo vowed that one day he would pass the imperial examination and meet the emperor in the palace. How come he is now tempted by a position in this small county government?"

"The positions in this county government are not high, how can they be in your eyes?"

When everyone was discussing the notice of Wu's mansion, a young man wearing a patched robe, with a sallow face and withered hair squeezed in and stared at the notice in a daze.

This young man was obviously quite famous among these scholars. As soon as he appeared, he was recognized by everyone, but many people were mocking and contemptuous of him.

The young man's surname was Luo. He just looked at the notice, his eyes slightly moving, and he didn't pay attention to the gossip around him.

After reading the content of the notice, the young man surnamed Luo walked out of the crowd without saying a word and went far away.

"Hey, don't go."

"Where is the great talent Luo going?"

"The great talent Luo is really arrogant and disdains to communicate with us."

The young people behind him shouted at the young man surnamed Luo, but the young man surnamed Luo did not stop, as if he didn't hear anything, and walked straight forward, his face did not change at all.

Over the years, he has seen so much such ridicule and ridicule, and he has long been accustomed to it.

"Hey, he seems to be heading towards Wu's mansion."

"It seems so. It seems that he is really moved by the recruitment notice of County Magistrate Wu."

"Let's go quickly too, don't let him get there first."

"Let's go, together, together."

Soon, the people surrounding the notice dispersed, and the crowd went towards Wu's mansion in twos and threes.

The young man surnamed Luo was the first to arrive at the Wu Mansion. He looked at the tall gate of the Wu Mansion, with envy, loss, and hesitation in his eyes.

After standing for a while, the young man surnamed Luo still knocked on the door of the Wu Mansion.

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

The door of the Wu Mansion was quickly opened. A servant looked at the young man surnamed Luo outside the door and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, my name is Luo Heming. I saw the notice in the city and came to serve the county magistrate." The young man surnamed Luo bowed to the servant of the Wu Mansion and said politely. There was no arrogance of a scholar on his face, but some flattering.

"Oh, it's for this matter, you wait first." The servant replied, then turned around and ran back to the mansion. Soon he appeared again with something in his hand.

"My master is not in the mansion. He went out for something. He said that if anyone comes to register, register here first." The servant said to Luo Heming.

As he said that, the servant handed the paper and pen he brought to Luo Heming.

"Okay." Luo Heming took it and looked at the servant. The servant stood there and looked at him, with no intention of leaving.

Luo Heming hesitated for a while, spread the paper on the ground, squatted down slightly, and wrote his name on the paper.

"Okay." After writing his name, Luo Heming handed the paper back to the servant.

The servant took the paper and said, "Come here tomorrow morning, my master will review it together tomorrow."

"Okay." Luo Heming nodded, bowed to the servant again, and then turned and left.

Not long after Luo Heming left, the young people who had gathered in front of the notice before also came to the door of Wu's house.

"Are you here because of the notice too?" The servant of Wu's house had not left yet, and saw these people coming, and couldn't help asking.

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

The servant of Wu's house handed the paper with Luo Heming's name on it to those people and said, "Write your names on it. Come here again tomorrow, and my master will conduct a unified assessment on you."

One of them took the paper, saw Luo Heming's name, and said, "Sure enough." However, he did not write his own name immediately. Instead, he looked around and said, "You don't even have a table here, how can I write?"

"Just lie on the ground." The servant replied.

"What?"

"It's outrageous! You, an inferior, actually humiliated us like this? How did the county magistrate teach you on weekdays?"

"Is this how the county magistrate treats us scholars? He doesn't even have the minimum respect!"

"I heard that the county magistrate was born a warrior, and he really doesn't know etiquette!"

The servant's words completely angered the young men at the door. They scolded one after another, some only scolded the servant in front of them, and some even scolded Wu Fan.

"This is what my master specifically told me. If anyone can't accept it, they can leave on their own." Faced with the excited scene, the servant was not panicked at all. Obviously, he had expected this scene.
