At the beginning of July, the newly appointed Prefect of An Yuan State finally took office.
This new Prefect was named Lin Shoude, a thirty-nine-year-old who had earned his degree fourteen years ago, and had served as a County Magistrate in Jiangnan for twelve years. Although there had been reassignments, he had never been promoted before.
This time, he was promoted to Prefect of An Yuan State at the Secondary Fifth rank, but this promotion was clearly not a blessing.
What place is Jiangnan? It is the wealthiest region in Da Rong.
And what about Chongshan Town?
A military border town.
In a border town, there is little scope for a civil servant to exert influence.
