In the past twenty years, Chongshan Town has changed governors ten times. Some did not want to be sidelined and tried to compete with the Yang family, but were driven out of Chongshan Town in disgrace.
Some wanted to curry favor with Yang Chengye, hoping to integrate into the big family of Chongshan Town. Unfortunately, Yang Chengye held a great deal of suspicion and prejudice against the court and was unwilling to accept the allegiance of a high court official.
Some simply played the role of a passive figure, keeping out of affairs unless absolutely necessary, and ironically, these were the ones who stayed the longest in Chongshan Town.
Jiang Nanguo was such a person; he didn't manage or question anything, spending his days either reading at home, visiting friends, or engaging with the beauty of nature.
In this way, he served as the governor of Chongshan Town for five years, becoming the longest-serving governor since Yang Zhenshan left Da Rong.
