Chapter 884: It’s better to find a “slippery” advisor

Sun Shan also knew that it was difficult to find a legal advisor, so he lowered his requirements and said, "Father-in-law, I also know that such talents are in great demand. In fact, my requirements are not high. The most important thing is that he has dealt with clerks and the people. The rest can be learned slowly."

Sun Shan was quite familiar with the duties of a criminal lawyer, a money lawyer, and a clerical lawyer.

These three points can be gradually transitioned by him, mainly communicating with the outside world. As a local official, Sun Shan is not good at communicating and does not know how to communicate.

What Sun Shan needs most is a mentor to communicate with the outside world.

It is necessary to find a "slippery" legal advisor to resolve the friction between officials and clerks.

When serving as an official in a certain place, the "dragon and the snake" are the most difficult to get along with, but the common people are easier to talk to.

As a county magistrate, Sun Shan's interests were definitely on the side of the people, but the local gentry and clerks were a very difficult group of people to deal with.

The local tyrant lived up to his reputation and he could easily clamp down on this outsider dragon.

Just like the relationship between Sun Shan and County Magistrate Tang, Sun Shan, the rising local tyrant, forced the "dog" in County Magistrate Tang's family to die.

Now that Sun Shan works as an official in another place, he will also encounter this dilemma.

At this time, you must have a capable assistant to help coordinate and give advice.

Alas, studying is hard, and becoming an official is still hard.

This miserable life is really painful.

Sun Shan couldn't help but envy the "rich second generation" and "official second generation". It was really a blessing to be an uneducated second generation.

Speak your mind, there is no need to hide it now.

Sun Shan, a farmer's son with no family background, is not worth anyone's attention.

Old Master He San and He Lixi roughly understood Sun Shan’s main demands.

That is to say, find a good advisor who can talk and act as a lubricant between local forces and external forces, so that their interests can be maximized through coordination and the two parties can get along peacefully.

Old Master He San said to He Lixi, "Shanzi's requirements are not high. You can find two advisors for Shanzi. Didn't you say you know a lot of friends? Ask your friends if they know anyone?"

After a pause, he continued, "We can also see if there is anyone in our Hejia Village who can do the job. Alas, Shanzi is only 23 years old and he is already a local official. We must equip him with good personnel. Otherwise, he will be bullied by the locals in Yuanlu County. I think we should not only find a legal advisor, but also thugs."

Then he said, "We must buy some servants and bring them back with Shanzi to take up his post. We need to bring more people with us so that we can resist if a fight breaks out."

After Sun Shan heard this, he looked at Old Master He San with gratitude. Except for buying the person, everything else was in agreement.

You need to bring more people, preferably strong men like Sun Dali, who have all their strength when fighting.

Sun Shan felt that life was the most important thing and he must be well protected.

He Lixi secretly rolled his eyes, as if to say to his father: Find! Where to find? Do you think the master is a cabbage? Buy it if you want? And bring so many people, can the ugly son-in-law afford the wages?

His family has less than 100 acres of land, so who gave him the courage to hire so many people?

What my father said sounded nice, but it was not practical at all.

Speaking of buying land, He Lixi suddenly asked, "Ashan, do you want to buy a farm in Guangzhou? There is no land for sale in Sunjia Village."

Sun Shan looked at his father-in-law in confusion. The topic they were talking about just now was the legal advisor, so how did it get to the point of selling the farm?

Isn't this totally off topic?

However, when his father-in-law asked this, Sun Shan had to answer honestly: "Father-in-law, I don't have the money to buy a farm now. I will buy it when I have money."

Sun Shan did have some money in his pocket, but as he was about to take office and would have to spend a lot of money, he had no choice but to hold off on purchasing any property and wait until he had more money.

As for how he will get rich in the future, Sun Shan doesn't know yet, but he believes that with his abilities, he will definitely get rich.

That’s right, he, Sun Shan, is so confident!

He Lixi didn't expect Sun Shan to be so honest and directly said that he had no money and didn't buy it.

So he asked directly: "Didn't you make a lot of money in Jinling before?"

Why hide it? While money is still valuable, you should buy more properties. Money making money is the best.

Otherwise you will end up with nothing.

Sun Shan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Indeed, I still have some money, but if I want to be a county magistrate in another place, I have to bring more money with me. If I have no money, I can't command people."

Money makes the world go round. If you encounter difficulties, you must spend money when necessary.

So Sun Shan has to save his money now.

This reason is also understandable. The Sun family is poor, so this is indeed the case.

Poor Sister Yun, she married a poor guy.

Alas, the ugly son-in-law is ugly and poor. Apart from the nice title, he has no reality at all. It’s sad to think about it.

He Lixi's thoughts drifted towards Sunjia Village, and he secretly felt sorry for his daughter.

Old Master He San looked at his eldest son in bewilderment, not knowing what he was doing. How did they end up talking about Zhuangzi?

Now I'm talking about the advisor. You have to arrange someone for Shanzi as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in the dark and understand nothing when he takes office.

Old Master He San brought the topic back and said, "As Shanzi's father-in-law, you should do your best to fulfill the tasks Shanzi asks you to do. While Shanzi is back in Sunjia Village, quickly find two legal advisors for him."

Then he turned to Sun Shan and said, "Shanzi, after you go back to Sunjia Village and prepare a banquet, come down to Guangzhou as soon as possible and invite the relatives and friends in Hejia Village to dinner, okay?"

Then he explained: "Huangyang County is far away, so we won't go to your place for the banquet. When we get to Guangzhou, we will invite our people to the banquet. Do you understand?"

This was indeed a good reason, and Sun Shan probably understood what Old Master He San meant.

First, let the people of Hejia Village know that Yun Jie'er's husband passed the imperial examination and is now an official, and Yun Jie'er is the official's wife. Let Yun Jie'er be proud.

Second, when you invite people to dinner, you have to accept gifts. This Jinshi banquet is equivalent to a "university banquet", not a "wedding banquet," and it is profitable. In this way, Sun Shan can receive a lot of red envelopes and make some money back.

Sun Shan nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Grandpa, I understand. After I go back to Huangyang County to prepare the banquet, I will come to Guangzhou to prepare it."

Sun Shan has a house in Guangzhou, so it is perfectly legitimate to set up the display directly at home.

He Lixi, who was standing aside, looked at his father speechlessly. How did they end up talking about setting up a wedding banquet? They were clearly talking about hiring a legal advisor.

Forget it, whatever they say is what it is. For the future happiness of Yun Jieer, I have to find a lawyer for my ugly son-in-law.

If you can't find two, at least find one and report back. When you go on duty tomorrow, ask your colleagues if they have any recommendations.

Oh, it's so miserable. It's not good for a girl to marry down. She has to trouble her parents' family for everything.

If this ugly son-in-law wasn't nice to his daughter, He Lixi really wouldn't want to help him.

Sun Shan had no idea what his father-in-law was thinking. He looked at the sky and saw that the moon was already above the treetops. It was time to go back.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Grandpa, father-in-law, I will go back first and then return to Sunjia Village. I will talk to you after I come back from Sunjia Village."

Old Master He San nodded and said, "Okay, we'll discuss it then."
