The emperor said: "There is a lot of knowledge in this place. If he wants to go further, he must know how to manage the common people, how to manage the aristocratic families, and how to manage the local wealthy families. Only in the place where the Governor’s Mansion is taken, he can fully integrate and fight against these people with his own strength and wisdom, so that the contacts and reputation cultivated in this way belong entirely to him.”
The emperor said: "Look at Yang Heshu, what is his reputation in Xiazhou now, and what is his reputation in the court?"
Although he is far away from the capital and the center of power, in the hearts of all the officials, his weight is much more than that of Tang He who came from the same department.
The emperor put his hands behind his back and clenched his fists slightly. Yang and Shu were involved too much behind the scenes, and he didn't know what to do in the future, but although Bai Shan came from a family, he grew up far away from his family. In the future when the crown prince takes the throne, he may be the purest one.
The emperor thought to himself, he doesn't make crooked words.
In the evening of that day, the emperor specially invited the prince to have dinner with him. The father and son were eating at the dining table. The emperor mentioned this and said to the prince: "Bai Shan is still young and still has a youthful ambition. Where do you think he will go?" Better?"
The prince said: "Since he doesn't choose it himself, let's see where the next vacancy is and assign it to him directly."
The emperor glanced at him and said, "It's not like raising talents."
The queen smiled and added a bowl of rice to them, and said, "Let's talk after we eat."
Bai Shan went out of the palace after finishing his work, but he was stopped by a carriage when he left the imperial city. The county magistrate Guo lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Lord Bai, the sky is fine today, why don't we use it together?" a meal?"
Bai Shan understood after a little thought, so he nodded with a smile.
Seeing the sight, Magistrate Guo took the initiative to lift up the car curtain to invite Bai Shan in.
Bai Shan handed over the horse to the entourage of the county magistrate Guo, and stepped on the cart by himself.
County Magistrate Guo asked with a smile, "Where would Master Bai want to eat?"
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Wait a little longer."
County Magistrate Guo: How long do you have to think about finding a place to eat? Zhuangyuan Building, Jiufu Building, choose one at random, he will definitely not blink his eyes.
It's just that Bai Shan spent a long time thinking about it. He didn't think about it even after the carriage passed by for a square, and then the carriage was stopped.
Magistrate Guo heard a familiar voice in the car: "Why is Master Bai's horse with you?"
Magistrate Guo: ...
He raised his head and looked at Bai Shan quietly.
Bai Shan smiled at him, opened the curtain and said, "I'm here."
Man Bao dismounted, leaned forward curiously, met the eyes of County Magistrate Guo in the car, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you together?"
County magistrate Guo has returned to normal, and said with a smile on his face: "The sky is fine today, and I met Lord Bai by chance, so I would like to invite Lord Bai to have a drink together."
Man Baoxin believed that he was the only one who had a ghost. Didn't the two of them meet by chance for a few days every month
Why didn't he invite her
County Magistrate Guo smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence that I met Master Zhou today. This is fate. Master Zhou, let's have a drink together?"
Man Bao glanced at Bai Shan, who nodded slightly at her.
So Man Bao handed over his horse to Guo County Magistrate's entourage, and in a short while there was an extra person in the car.
Bai Shan picked up the teapot in the car and poured her a cup of tea, and asked, "Are you alone?"
"No, there are two Doctors Assistant Duan, but I let them go back first."
Bai Shan asked smoothly, "How is Mr. Zheng's injury?"
"I don't shave my hair anymore, I can keep it long. The external injury has healed, but the congestion inside has not completely dissipated. I still have some problems speaking right now."
The county magistrate Guo also got serious and asked, "Master Zhou thinks he might take the Jinshi examination this year?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "He will know when I come to give him a refreshing needle tomorrow."
Being an official in the same dynasty and having been in the front and back seats for many years, County Magistrate Guo still knew Zhou Man's level, so he nodded slightly.
County Magistrate Guo glanced at Bai Shan, smiled slightly and said, "Master Bai, have you decided where to eat?"
Bai Shan smiled and said: "Since Master Guo treats guests, it is natural that Master Guo chooses them, and our guests do as we please."
County magistrate Guo didn't hold back, and after a moment of pondering, he said, "Go to Jiufulou. I heard that Jiufulou has fresh lotus seeds to eat now. Because of the hot summer, I have specially developed a few dishes to cool off the heat. Let's try it." Try it."
Man Bao nodded again and again, "It's a bit hot. My sister-in-law said that since the beginning of the year, the shop will not make tamales, but the newly made cold noodles are very popular."
Bai Shan nodded and asked County Magistrate Guo: "Does Jiufulou have cold noodles?"
Magistrate Guo: "... yes."
When the three of them arrived at Jiufu Building, the attendants brought their own chariots and horses to resettle them. The men recognized Guo County Magistrate, Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and immediately stepped forward to greet them.
County magistrate Guo asked for a private room, and the three of them sat at a spacious table to order food.
County magistrate Guo, who was not short of money, was very generous. He not only ordered two signature dishes, but also ordered many dishes suitable for summer.
So generous that Bai Shan and Man Bao were too embarrassed to add anything, so they said to the guy who reported the name of the dish: "We don't have anything to add."
County Magistrate Guo laughed and said, "Lord Bai and Lord Zhou, don't be polite to me."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "It's not about being polite, but Mr. Guo ordered enough, any more would be extravagant."
Guo County Magistrate smiled when he heard the words, "This is very true. I am worthy of being someone close to His Majesty. I will punish myself."
Man Bao has already started to write and edit books today, and she uses too much brain. At this time, she is a little hungry, so she doesn't want to use her brain. Seeing the beans and pastries on the table, she doesn't want to eat the pastries that fill her stomach, so she stirs them with chopsticks beans to eat.
As for why County Magistrate Guo invited the couple, oh no, Bai Shan was invited to dinner, so let Bai Shan take care of it completely, she concentrated on eating.
County Magistrate Guo glanced at her at first, but seeing her so absorbed in eating, he also forgot about her and concentrated on talking to Bai Shan.
By the way, why did he invite Bai Shan to dinner
Of course we have to wait until the food is served.
When the dishes were served, Man Bao became more attentive to his food, and then County Magistrate Guo mentioned the vacancies in Chang'an County and Wannian County while eating.
He is still the county magistrate of Wannian County, but it is already foreseeable that he will leave office, but no one thought that the county magistrate of Chang'an County would leave office earlier than him.
Bai Shan thought for a while, and this matter is not a secret, and he had already written down the official document of Tang County Magistrate's promotion in the afternoon and sent it to Menxia Province for review. Although he didn't know if the review came out, Master Wei was also there at the time, so he did not express any objection on the spot , then this matter is ninety-nine percent, and it is only a matter of time before the review is completed.
Even Mr. Guo, who was not present, knew about it, so there were quite a few people who knew, so he said, "Mr. Tang's promotion to the Young Minister of Jingzhao Mansion has already been announced, but the successor county magistrate of Chang'an County has not yet been selected."
