Chapter 230 Finding Wealth in Danger

Jiang Yueyang resumed her writing, writing as she replied, "To join the Supervisory Department, you need two basic requirements: strong case-solving skills and a strong family background. You don't quite meet these two requirements."

Officials of the Supervisory Department are supposed to do the righteous things that others dare not do. Without a strong family background, how can they suppress the local monsters and demons?

The system agreed, saying, "An official like Xu Zheng, a powerless, impoverished official, would likely be assassinated on his first day in office."

Xu Zheng: “…”

Xu Zheng lowered his head. Although the truth was unpleasant, Lord Xiao Jiang was right.

If you want to enter the Supervisory Department, it is not enough to have ability, you also have to have something that makes people fear you.

Besides, his abilities are average.

Woo woo woo... I overestimated my own abilities.

Jiang Yueyang continued, "These two conditions are only the most basic. The most important thing is to have an absolutely righteous heart and absolute loyalty to Daxia."

These words suddenly shocked the two people present. Xu Zheng murmured, "Is there... such a person?"

"Yes, but very rarely."

Pei Yan asked, "Does Master Xiao Jiang have a candidate in mind?"

"Yes, but I don't know if they are willing to change jobs." Jiang Yueyang said, shaking his head, "It's too early to say this now. The Supervisory Department may not be established."

Pei Yan nodded slightly, then bowed and said, "I'll go out to work first."

Jiang Yueyang nodded and continued writing quickly.

Xu Zheng stood and watched for a while before asking, "Master Xiao Jiang, is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Yueyang paused, then looked up at him with sparkling eyes, "Can you draw?"

Seeing her expectant look, Xu Zheng scratched his head awkwardly and said sheepishly: "Your subordinate...Your subordinate cannot draw."

The light in his eyes faded, the smile on his lips fell, and Jiang Yueyang said in a sad voice: "Is that so..."

"Although I can't draw, I do my work in the pavilion quite well. Earlier, I saw Master Pei carrying a lot of work in. I think I can help lighten your workload."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang became happy again.

"Will this be too much trouble for you? You have your own work to do."

Xu Zheng shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I have completed my work. Besides, as a subordinate, I should share the worries of my superiors."

"Then... I'll trouble you then." Jiang Yueyang pushed the stack of books beside her forward a little, "Take a look at the work here and see if there's anything you can do."

"it is good."

Xu Zheng immediately walked over and looked through the books. Inside each book was a note stating the work content.

Some work needs to be done by Jiang Yueyang personally, while some can be done by others.

After Xu An finished flipping through the pages, he pulled out seven books and said, "Master Xiao Jiang, I can help you with these. I can't do the rest for you."

Although there was still a lot left, Jiang Yueyang was already very grateful.

"Master Xu, is there anything you want?"

"The beef jerky that Lord Xiao Jiang gave me last time was very delicious." Xu Zheng blushed in embarrassment.

"No problem, I'll have someone send some to you when I get back."

Xu Zheng's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, sir. I'll go out and work now and make sure everything is completed today."

"It's not necessary..."

Xu Zheng was so happy that he didn't hear Jiang Yueyang's voice. He turned around and walked out with the seven books in his arms.

Jiang Yueyang watched Xu Zheng quickly walk out of the office and murmured, "Xiaogua, how long do you think it will take him to complete those tasks?"

【Hmm...it'll be the afternoon anyway.】

So, is it bad to let others do your work while you leave early?

【What do you think? 】

Jiang Yueyang groaned in frustration, "I was thinking of finishing writing the Supervisory Department's charter and then heading back."

The system's electronic voice carried a hint of gloating, "Host, take it easy. Every gain has its share of losses."

Outside, Xu Zhengcai walked to his seat and sat down when a group of people surrounded him.

There are many people in Wenyuan Pavilion who want to move up, but staying in Wenyuan Pavilion is destined to stop here.

"How is it? Did Master Xiao Jiang tell me how to get a position in the Supervisory Department?"

Xu Zheng did not hide anything and repeated Jiang Yueyang's words to them.

"Is the request so high?"

"The Supervisory Office is actually similar to the Censorate, but in addition to supervising all officials, the Supervisory Office also has the power to judge and punish all officials. It seems to have greater power."

"It also means the job is dangerous and you could lose your life at any time."

"That's why both abilities and backgrounds are required!"

"Lady Xiao Jiang is now a favorite of His Majesty. Following her will surely bring a bright future, but it will also be fraught with danger."

"Wealth is found in danger."

The sand in the hourglass flows slowly downwards, like the stream of time, disappearing silently.

In the blink of an eye, it was lunch time, and the palace servants brought warm working meals to the officials of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Jiang Yueyang twisted her sore neck, put down the pen in her hand and leaned back.

"Phew! I'm so tired!"

In just over an hour, she had finished writing all the regulations of the Supervisory Department and copied a book.

The reason why she is so efficient is that she was a Chinese in her previous life. Who hasn't tried to copy a test paper dozens of times?

Copying books is no big deal!

After resting for a while, Jiang Yueyang opened the lunch box, took out the dishes inside, and started to enjoy lunch.

Today's meal tasted just average. After taking two bites, she put down her chopsticks and walked out.

The system warned: [Host, they are working hard for you. It would be inappropriate for you to leave early.]

[Who said I was leaving early? I just wanted to stretch my legs. My butt hurts from sitting for so long.]

The Wenyuan Pavilion officials who were still eating: "..."

Jiang Yueyang's inner voice continued, "The stools at Wenyuan Pavilion are too hard. I'll have to bring a cushion next time. Hmm... I'll also have to bring a better ink stick. The ink here isn't smooth enough."

As she was talking, she accidentally saw Xu Zheng working while eating not far away.

She frowned slightly, then walked over.

"Master Xu." She sat down in front of Xu Zheng. "When it's time to work, work hard. When it's time to eat, eat well. I'll feel pressured if you do this."

"Master Xiao Jiang..."

"Eat well."

"Yes."

Xu Zheng put down the work in his hands and began to concentrate on eating.

Jiang Yueyang smiled with satisfaction, then nodded slightly to his colleagues who were looking over.

At this time, the system said with a slight surprise: [Host, I found an interesting person.]
