Ji Commandery.
Du Yu had only just lain down when he heard hurried, flustered footsteps outside.
"Lord Du!"
The armored guards at the door immediately stopped the man.
The man was the newly appointed governor. The previous elderly governor had simply been unable to bear Du Yu's demands and had submitted a memorial asking to resign. In view of his age, Cao Mao had transferred him to Ji Province to serve as a commandery governor. There was little work there, making it suitable for an official like him.
And this newly appointed commandery governor was none other than Yan Wen, who had previously been withdrawn from Dunhuang.
Yan Wen's face was now a picture of misery.
When he had been withdrawn from Dunhuang and told he would be transferred to the Central Plains, he had been so happy. When they finally told him he would be governor of Ji Commandery, he had been beside himself with joy. Right beneath the Son of Heaven's feet!
And what had happened? Only after arriving had he discovered that Ji Commandery accounted for more than half the construction projects in the entire Sili Region!
The Minister of Works was permanently stationed here, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue dropped by from time to time. Most frightening of all, the Minister of Justice also visited occasionally.
Yan Wen no longer dared to be as idle as he had been in the past. He worked desperately all day, not daring to delay anything.
Du Yu let out a long sigh, then sat up. "Let him in!"
Only after hearing his words did the armored guards step aside.
By the time Du Yu had dressed and lit a candle, Yan Wen was already standing before him, still holding his bow.
Du Yu felt rather helpless.
