The Spoiled County Magistrate

When Li Xuanzhi woke up, he had one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news: He had become the second son of an earl's household in the capital, living the pampered life of having his clothes and meals served to him.

The bad news: He had bought an official post with money and was on his way to take it up.

He looked at the official seal in his hand, then at the impoverished people outside, the "good older brother" back at the earl's estate, and their "three-year pact."

How hard could it be to be an official? Easy!

He would develop commerce and infrastructure side by side, building bridges, paving roads, mining iron, and training talent to assemble the strongest team!

Wait, was he about to get promoted?

Hold on...

The emperor had specifically asked to see him?

And wanted to entrust him with the heir apparent?!
