Lord Duan held a big banquet, and Han Xiufeng was so busy that he flew up.

Mr. Xu, a friend of Duan, is famous and even plans to participate in the next year's exam, so it is not convenient to come forward to arrange it. Mr. Duan's family doesn't recognize much of Wang Gui, and in the words of Mr. Duan, he doesn't understand the rules and speak very well. Therefore, Han Xiufeng, who had just helped deliver local specialties and charcoal, had to send out invitations from Mr. Xu to Mr. Duan to help Master Duan write.

The invitation is not considered a "please" when it is delivered, but can only be called "appointment".

We have to run again on the morning of the banquet and reconfirm the time and location of the banquet with the family of the Guan Master who was about to be invited. After we come back, we have to welcome the officials and masters Duan at the entrance of the guild hall, and welcome the officials who have arrived one after another into the yard and arrange the seats.

The banquet was about to be served by the side, and the show and the banquet lasted until the third day.

After finally waiting for the break, I took the guests onto the carriage with Lord Duan and bowed and said goodbye in turn. Han Xiufeng still couldn't rest. He had to take Lord Duan's famous post to the guests overnight and thanked them for coming.

Lord Duan originally planned to invite only two groups of banquets, but the plan was not as good as change. Many Beijing officials who had not moved before knew that he was promoted to Gansu governors came to the guild hall to congratulate him. They could not only invite the one who did not invite this one. They even had a banquet for four nights, which made it look like a serene meal. Fortunately, Pan Erdeli didn't have to worry about the wine, food and opera troupes, otherwise he wouldn't know what they would be tired.

The whole banquet was held. The guests were very happy and Lord Duan was very satisfied. Han Xiufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask Director Zhang about filling the gap. Director Zhang actually rushed to the guild with a Master Liu who had never seen before.

There were a lot of food left last night, and Han Xiufeng hurriedly asked Pan Er to make a table.

Director Zhang took the tea from Xiaoshandong, looked at him with a smile and said, "Zhixing, what's the relationship between you and me? Mr. Liu is not an outsider either. Don't do it anymore, sit down and talk about the serious business."

"Okay, you said. Mr. Liu, please use tea." Han Xiufeng was really excited when he thought of the news about filling the gap.

"I'm so anxious to wait. Actually, I got a letter the day before yesterday. Thinking that you're busy these days, I haven't come. Anyway, Lord Duan has to wait a few days before he takes office in Gansu. It won't delay your affairs one day sooner or later."

Whenever he talks about the official business, Director Zhang will keep him in hiding. Han Xiufeng has long been accustomed to it and looks at him with a smile.

Director Zhang looked at the backyard and said proudly: "You have been waiting for a whole year for this shortage. It's a bit long, but as the saying goes, good things are a lot of trouble. If you don't have some patience, how can you wait until now?"

"Fat is scarce?" Han Xiufeng asked subconsciously.

"If you want to change your bag, you can't even think about it if you don't have to think about it if you don't have to do it!"

"real!"

"What am I lie to you?" Director Zhang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Fireworks in March, Yangzhou is a good place, a truly prosperous place. Go to Yangzhou Prefecture to be an official, and go to other places for ten years!"

Han Xiufeng was happy: "Director Zhang, do you mean I can go to Yangzhou for inspection?"

"It's not Yangzhou City, but Yangzhou Prefecture."

"Go to Yangzhou that prefecture or county?"

"Taizhou."

“Where is Taizhou in Yangzhou?”

"On the east." Director Zhang put down his teacup, took out a map of Yangzhou Prefecture that he had painted before coming from his sleeve, and said as if he offered treasures: "This is Yangzhou, this is Taizhou, but your lack is not in Yangzhou City, nor in Taizhou City, but here!"

"Hai'an?" Han Xiufeng murmured at the map.

"The opponent is Hai'an."

"Hai'an Inspection Department..."

"Zhixing, although Hai'an is only a town under Taizhou, the Hai'an Inspection Department is a real fat and shortage. Mr. Liu served as an ambassador of the Salt Course Department in the Tongzhou Branch of Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department. He has been to Hai'an and has dealt with the previous Hai'an Inspection Office. Mr. Liu knew best whether this shortage was fat or not."

"Director Zhang, it's not that I don't believe you, but...but..."

"I know that there is a support from Lord Duan. As long as you can distribute it to Gansu, you can still make up for a fat vacancies, but in my opinion, going to Yangzhou is better than going to Gansu."

Gansu is a bitter and cold place. Han Xiufeng definitely didn't want to go there before, but now it is not the case. Lord Duan searched for Gansu's governor. With Lord Duan as his backer, he really made a great place to enjoy the cool air under a big tree.

Mr. Liu didn't think so. He put down his teacup and cleared his throat, pointed to the map and smiled with a few knowledges: "Brother Han, although the Hai'an Inspection Department is affiliated to Taizhou, it is not very similar to the inspection departments of ordinary prefectures and counties. Look, to the south is Rugao County in Tongzhou, and to the north is Dongtai County in Yangzhou Prefecture. Hai'an is located at the junction of Taizhou, Rugao and Dongtai prefectures."

What's so rare about this? Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Liu, my hometown is also located at the junction of three counties. It is known as stepping on three counties with one foot."

"Do you have a salt farm in your hometown?" Mr. Liu asked back, then pointed to the map and smiled: "The Lianghuai Salt Transport Department has three branches, Taizhou and Haizhou. The Tongzhou Branch is located in Shigang, the Taizhou Branch is located in Dongtai. The Haizhou Branch's capital was originally in Huai'an, and was changed to Banpu in the 24th year of Qianlong. Among them, the Tongzhou Branch has nine salt farms, and nine salt department officials are located; the Taizhou Branch has eleven salt farms, and eleven fishing officials are located."

"Master Liu, these are salt officials. What does it have to do with the Hai'an Inspection Department?" Han Xiufeng asked in confusion.

"It's a big deal!" Mr. Liu gestured on the map and looked up and said, "Hai'an goes south, east, and north, all the salt fields of Tongzhou Branch and Taizhou Branch are from Tongzhou Branch and Taizhou Branch. All the salt produced in the Tongzhou Branch and Taizhou Branch must be transported to Taizhou through Hai'an and then from Taizhou to Yangzhou.

Brother Han, did you see that this river runs through the north and south, connecting Taizhou 11 fields into one, so it is called Chuanchang River. This north-south river is called Tongyang River. The two rivers meet in Hai'an and connect Taizhou to the west, so the section to the west is also called Yunyan River. Hai'an is not only located at the junction of Taizhou, Dongtai and Rugao, but also a key waterway for Yanyun!”

Han Xiufeng understood as if he was enlightened, stared at the map and asked: "Master Liu, even though Hai'an Patrol is under Taizhou, it is actually similar to the salt officer?"

"That's right." Mr. Liu smiled and nodded, and then said: "Taizhou has a patrol department in Hai'an. Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department originally had a patrol in Hai'an. Given that the Hai'an Inspection Department also had a strict anti-smuggling and trafficker responsibility, while the salt road inspection only had strict anti-smuggling criminal responsibility but could not control the local area. Lianghuai Salt Administration later abolished the salt road inspection located in Hai'an."
