By evening, Jiang Youzhi came to pick up Yun Jiao to go home and stayed for dinner at the Gu Family.
During dinner, Jiang Youzhi asked Gu Chuan, "You mentioned you wanted an outpost role; you have two places to choose from: Yongshun County in Jiangnan or Jinyang County in the southern borderlands."
Gu Chuan almost instantly replied, "I choose Jinyang County in the southern borderlands."
Jiang Youzhi raised an eyebrow, "Why? The conditions in the southern borderlands are very tough. The people there are not as civilized as here and it's far less prosperous than Jiangnan. It's certainly not a good place to be."
Gu Chuan thought for a moment, "Precisely because of that, I want to go there."
"I know Jiangnan is prosperous. Spending a few years there, it's easy to gain some achievements. With my brother-in-law in the court, I can quickly ascend from magistrate to higher positions, later returning to the Capital City to continue my career."
