Bab 821: Chapter 176: Thick-Skinned

Fang Liuming had discussed becoming an official in another locality with Old Scholar Fang, who listened to Mo Heng's suggestion. Shen Songming also advised him to take the post outside, and Old Scholar Fang pondered, "Being an official outside the capital is different from being a Capital Official. One Government Office has three divisions and six departments, all of which you must manage. You also need a capable Master. If the Clerks and Government Officers under you openly oppose the County Magistrate, you can still punish them firmly. What I fear most are those who honor in word but not in deed, committing atrocities in your name."

Fang Liuming nodded; he was aware of this.

"Did they mention where you'd be stationed?" asked Old Scholar Fang.
