Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Zhou Man and Bai Erlang shook their heads together, "I didn't receive any news."

Tang He: "Qingzhou has made a lot of achievements in the past two years. Not to mention the salt transported from Qingzhou every year by the Salt Transport Division, only the Longchi Wharf and the popularity of new rice seeds are enough for Guo Governor to be promoted."

"However, although Qingzhou is developing well, it is still far behind the capital. Otherwise, Wang Rong would not have disliked this as a lower state and would not take office." Tang He said: "Since he has the opportunity to return to the capital, he will naturally return to the capital. it is good."

Zhou Man pondered, "This time it was a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, just judging from the response in the past few days, he has done his best to help Changshou County a lot, and he has fulfilled his responsibilities as a prefect, so why should you be afraid of senior brother? Your fold?"

Tang He smiled, "You think I'm a just person, but some people don't think so."

Zhou Man sighed, "It seems that Governor Guo has misunderstood his senior, should I explain it for you?"

Tang He nodded in agreement, "But you don't have to say things for us. You probably don't know that he was fired in the early years because my father participated in him."

Zhou Man rolled his eyes.

"Oh, by the way, the vacancy vacated this time in the capital is the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Works. He was arrested for participating in the embezzlement of Jiangning River embankment repair funds. I supervised the case."

Tang He shook his head and sighed: "This one has been vacant for more than two years, and now it is rumored that a candidate is to be selected. It seems that His Majesty has already confirmed the candidate. Since Governor Guo thinks it is himself, he must have received the exact news."

"Guo Cheng," Tang He shook his head and said, "He doesn't have any other major problems, he just loves money and is not a gentleman, so the way to get money is not right, he must think that our father and son will prevent him from returning to Beijing. , so avoid me."

Zhou Man asked curiously, "Will Xuexiong Tang stop him from returning to Beijing?"

"Why am I preventing him from returning to Beijing?" Tang He smiled, "As far as I know, the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry is still his place proposed by my father, and it is better for such a person to stay in the capital than in the local area. it is good."

He shook his head and said: "At the feet of the emperor, under the eyes of all the ministers, with so many censors staring at him, he is greedy, and his greed is limited."

"It's different in places. The prefects of a state can almost cover the sky with one hand." Tang He looked at Zhou Man, "I don't think Bai Shan's life has been so easy in the past few years, right? ? Even if he has a background, the princess and Bai Er are also here, but some etiquette has to be done."

Zhou Man thought for a while and then said: "It's okay, In addition to being greedy for money, Governor Guo is also afraid of death. Every year on his birthday and some major festivals, most of the medicines we send are medicines, and he is very happy to receive them."

Tang He: "...medicine?"

"Yeah, there are all kinds of over-the-counter medicines I make, but most of them are maintenance medicines, such as Ginseng Yangrong Pills," Zhou Man said, "Although it's not cheap, I made it myself. , it saves a lot of money than buying all kinds of precious gifts outside."

Tang He looked at her blankly, and gave her a thumbs up for a while, "Amazing."

Zhou Man smiled, "I also learned today that people like Governor Guo should be kept under my nose, but..."

"But what?"

"But, isn't someone like Governor Guo a nephew? Don't you worry about him confusing Your Majesty when you put it in the capital?"

Tang He: "His Majesty knows his nature, and he's not a fool nowadays. Even if he likes to hear nice things, he won't be confused. The princes in the court are not just decorations."

Zhou Man nodded, "So the matter of Guo's return to Beijing is a certainty?"

Tang He: "Eight and nine are not inseparable from ten."

"Who is the next governor?" Zhou Man was most concerned about this. Whether it was her or Bai Shan, he had to deal with the governor's house, especially Bai Shan, whose immediate superior was the governor.

Tang He touched his chin and said, "There are a lot of people vying for this position. I don't know who your Majesty is interested in. You also know that I am away from home, and the news always lags behind."

Zhou Man: "...much better than us, we don't know anything yet."

Tang He waved his hand indifferently and said, "That means that the position of Qingzhou's prefect has not been determined, or the crown prince will definitely tell you."

Tang He paused and said, "Your Majesty has decreed that the eldest grandson of the emperor has been canonized, do you know about this?"

Zhou Man and Bai Erlang nodded together, "I know, we went to the restaurant to celebrate together that day."

Tang He: "...Your Majesty canonized the eldest grandson of the emperor, what are you celebrating?"

"That's Mingda's nephew, it's a good thing why not celebrate?"

Tang He supported his forehead, "I mean, His Majesty has enshrined the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the crown prince's succession to the throne is already a sure thing. Unless the prince rebels, there will be no further changes. For the stability of the court, the officials will try their best to assist the prince. As far as I know, the prince now handles more than half of the state affairs every day."

Zhou Man and Bai Erlang nodded together and continued to look at him, "Then what?"

Tang He couldn't hold back, raised his hand and patted Zhou Man's head, "Then you and Bai Shan are the prince's people, and you can actually talk about the candidates for the Qingzhou prefect."

Zhou Man covered his head and whispered, "We are actually His Majesty's people."

Tang He glanced at her, "Chang Bo and I naturally knew that you and Bai Shan were caught up in the situation and moved forward, but since you treated the crown prince to get a grandson, you have entered the Chongwen Pavilion many times. Helping the prince to fight King Gong; Bai Shan is the prince's companion again, and you have already firmly branded the mark of the East Palace on your body."

"You are both prosperous, and you are both prosperous," he said. "I didn't mention Changbo and I before. First, I was thinking of your normal heart. If the prince has an accident in the future, even if you can't retreat, you can be less involved; second Come on, you were young at the time, you just needed to study hard and do errands well."

"But now that the dust has settled, if you are still wandering outside, it is equivalent to pushing away the braised pork that was sticking out to your mouth," Tang He said in a low voice, "Do you know how many people are surrounding the East Palace now, Do you want to show your face in front of the prince?"

Bai Erlang clapped his hands and lowered his voice: "I see, Brother Tang, do you want Bai Shan to be the prefect of Qingzhou?"

Tang He: "...You really dare to think about it, I didn't even dare to think so, he is now the county magistrate of the seventh rank, and he wants to be the governor of the fourth rank with the prince. Do you believe that a hundred officials in the court will first take part in his slanderous slander? I just said that you can express your views on the candidates for the Qingzhou provincial governor, and choose the one that is most beneficial to you."

"You are the prince's people, and the prince has always valued you. The prince should accept your suggestions."

Zhou Man rubbed his chin and thought, and said after a long time, "Actually, I really want to go with the flow, but I don't know what Bai Shan thinks. I'll ask him later."

There is no need for Zhou Man to ask, because at this time Bai Shan is opening the letter from the prince, he is the new candidate for the prefect, and wants to ask Bai Shan's advice.

When Zhou Man finally finished the disaster relief and returned to Beihai County with Bai Erlang and Tang He, his letter had been sent for two days.
