Could there really be a so-called prodigy as a county magistrate in ancient times?

The county magistrate was an official position during the Warring States period, and was generally appointed by the king himself. Later, with the imperial examination system, most of them obtained county magistrate positions through the imperial examination. Therefore, if there really was a child prodigy in ancient times, and he happened to be liked by the monarch, it would be possible to make him a county magistrate, but this possibility would be relatively small after the implementation of the imperial examination system.

At present, the ancient county magistrate in China I know is relatively young, and his age of office is 18. This man is Ji of the Qing Dynasty. He worked in Lanxi.

And because he managed Lanxi very well, he served for nearly 7 years.

He made Lanxi people live and work in peace and contentment, so he was deeply loved by the people. Yueji pontoon bridge is also called Jigong bridge, but his career didn't go smoothly at first. According to relevant historical records, Wu Mengding was the first magistrate of Lanxi in Qing Dynasty. In the second year of his reign, someone attacked Lanxi, so Wu Mengding died in the battlefield.

A few months later, Ji took office. At that time, Lanxi had just experienced the war, everything was in ruins, and the war was not completely over. At that time, Ji not only wanted the people to live a stable life as soon as possible, but also paid attention to military supplies, which was not easy for him as a newly appointed person. Moreover, he was only 18 years old when he first took office, which was a great challenge for him.

Ji Yizhen is also a strong and gentle person. He remonstrated with Wang Jun, which made Lanxi people reduce many taxes and won the hearts of the people. The people were also willing to assist him in post-war reconstruction, and soon the people of Lanxi lived a stable life.
