Yang Nengge didn't expect that Han Xiufeng was not only demoted to one level but also transferred to Tongzhi on the north bank of Yongding River. Xu Naizhao also didn't expect that. However, in Xu Naizhao's opinion, this was not a bad thing. He even sent someone to invite Jierhanga and Yang Nengge to the headquarters and took the opportunity of reading the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel to beat him up.

Jierhanga and Yang Nengge were in a dilemma, but Han Xiufeng was not happy at all because the result was completely different from what he thought before.

After thanking Xu Naizhao, he took the official documents and returned to the "Sichuan Guild Hall". Qiao Songnian, Xue Huan, Liu Cunhou, Hu Songlin, and Hu Kunyuan changed into casual clothes and followed. Even Wu Jianzhang, Wu Xu, acting magistrate of Shanghai Sun Feng, and Zhou Xingyuan, who should have set up a card to draw in Fengxian, followed closely as if he had made an appointment.

There were so many people coming at once, so I couldn't ignore the meal. Han Xiufeng quickly asked Su Jueming to make tea, let Datou, Cuihua and others go to arrange a banquet. Fortunately, it was already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few days. A lot of New Year's goods were prepared in the guild, and chicken, duck, fish and meat were ready-made, so you don't have to go out to buy it.

All the people who came were officials, and the youngest was also county magistrate. No one cared about eating and drinking. As soon as he sat down, he started to congratulate him. After the congratulations, he asked Han Xiufeng when he planned to set off, and whether he would go back to Beijing by sea or by land.

Han Xiufeng smiled bitterly and said, "In a few days, it will be New Year's Eve. I really don't want to celebrate the New Year on the way, but the official document is clearly written in black and white, so I can return to Beijing immediately. If I delay waiting until the New Year before leaving, I might be impeached again."

How could Qiao Songnian not know that what he was talking about was Yang Nengge, put down the teacup and said, "Since the court asked you to return to Beijing immediately, there is no need to delay in Shanghai."

"Yes, I'm not here to live this year!" Liu Cunhou felt that this was the best result and couldn't help but smile and said, "Not everyone can do the river staff in Yongding River. The Holy Master once had a sage. If you choose a river minister, you must be familiar with the clear water! And once you choose the position, you are not allowed to transfer externally, and even if you transfer externally, you will be a local official along the river."

"What's good about this?" Han Xiufeng couldn't help asking.

"What's wrong with being able to be an official safely?" Liu Cunhou asked back, and said with a gaze: "Although the promotion and performance of civil and military officials below the Yongding River are all affiliated with the Governor of Zhili, in fact, the Governor of Zhili is not in charge of Shuntian Prefecture, as does the Yongding River."

"If it is not subject to the rule of Zhili Governor, who will control it?" Han Xiufeng couldn't help asking.

"The promotion and reward and punishment of civil and military officials below the Taoist ranks under the Taoist ranks. If the Taoist ranks have any questions, they must report to the Governor of Zhili, and even report to the Ministry of Works, and discuss with Shuntian Prefecture. As far as I know, most of the officials in the Yongding River yard were selected from the written and staff of various departments and departments."

Qiao Songnian worked as a Hanlin official in the capital for so many years, and knew the most about these things. However, looking at Han Xiufeng's illumination, he explained with a smile: "The river channel not only manages river affairs, but also manages the silt land on both sides of the Yongding River and the people who have silted and reclaimed wasteland. The Yongding River is hundreds of miles long and flows through so many prefectures and counties. Among them, the most prone to flooding and the least inaccessible are the counties under Shuntian Prefecture. When encountering problems, you must discuss with Shuntian Prefecture. You know Shuntian Prefecture. It is not only a major area in the capital, but also the right to accept complaints from the world. It can be called the "small Ministry of Justice". Therefore, as long as the matters involving Shuntian Prefecture, the governor of Zhili will not interfere."

"But what does it have to do with the Ministry of Works?" Han Xiufeng asked.

"Why is it okay? Think about what the Ministry of Works does, what does the Yongding River Door Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Domestic Dome

The Yongding River, also known as Wuding River, is good at silting, frequently diverting the route, and easily breaking the dike. It either does not cause flooding. Not only will the counties in Shuntian Prefecture suffer, but they may even block water and land traffic, and the capital will be famine. It is precisely because of this that the court set up the Yongding River yamen."

"Of course, there is no flood in the important areas of the capital, but I am neither familiar with the terrain nor the nature of the water. I asked me to treat the water. What if this job is done if I fail?"

"You are not only Han Zhixing, the only one in the Yongding River yamen." Qiao Songnian looked at him with a smile and said, "Not only has a dock platform, but also several Tongzhi. If you don't understand, others will understand. I guess Mr. Peng will transfer you to act as Tongzhi on the north bank of the Yongding River. In most cases, you will be asked to lead troops, not to let you control the water."

"What kind of soldiers are you leading?"

"Teach the river to mark the green camp," Qiao Songnian thought about it the more he felt that what Xu Naizhao said before coming, and couldn't help but smile: "The Lianghuai Transport Department has a salt camp, and the Yongding River Yamen also has green camp soldiers. However, those soldiers were not used for war, and they were specialized in clearing and dikes, and they were stationed on the flood areas along the river at the same time."

Han Xiufeng reacted and asked with a sense of hilariousness: "So the green camp soldiers in the Yongding River are a group of river workers who usually clear the silt and build dikes. If anyone along the river commits a rebellion, he will quell the rebellion?"

“That’s right.”

"Is it reliable to let those coolies quell the chaos?"

"It's not reliable, but it's not a bad thing," thinking that there are outsiders here, but it's not about Songjiang Mansion. Qiao Songnian couldn't help but laugh: "The Yongding River Yamen is only a hundred miles away from the capital and is known as the gateway to the capital. Since it is a gateway, it cannot be stationed without soldiers. So if you really go to lead troops this time, the court will only let you garrison along the river, and will not easily let you lead troops to Jinghai to fight Changmao."

Xue Huanshen agreed and looked up and said, "One is that the gates of the capital cannot be opened. Second, if the soldiers in Hebiao are transferred to another place to quell the chaos, what should we do if the Yongding River is flooded? For the court, quelling chaos is important and controlling the river is just as important."

"That's how Tongzhi on the north bank of Yongding River is not considered a fat man, but he is also a good job."

"If you can transfer the beautiful woman, if you can lead the troops, you will be stationed at the feet of the emperor. As long as you have no mistakes, it will be a merit! Moreover, it is not a joke to station the capital. No one can transfer troops without authorization. Even if you transfer a soldier, you must report to the Ministry of War and the Military Affairs Office first. Every move is in the eyes of the princes and ministers and even the emperor. Although you are not as comfortable as an official in other places, it is not a bad thing to be able to remember the name of the princes and ministers!"

Looking at the envious look of Liu Cunhou, Hu Songlin and others, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said, "If there is a choice, I still want to go home."

"What stupid things are you saying?" Qiao Songnian knew that he missed his wife and her baby, so he put down his teacup and said, "Although Tongzhi on the north bank of Yongding River is not a Beijing official, he is actually no different from a Beijing official. If you miss your family, you can send someone to take your family to reunite."

"What Qiao Futai said is very true, you can take your younger brother, sister and child over." Liu Cunhou couldn't help but smile.

Han Xiufeng suddenly realized that this was a real solution. If Qin'er and her kid could be brought to her side, it would be irrelevant to go back to her hometown. But when Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang had already killed in Jinghai County, which was only two hundred miles away from Gu'an County, where the Yongding River Yamen was located, and there was no danger to guard there, he murmured: "If you really can't go back, you will naturally have to take the kid and kid over, but you have to wait until the battle situation on Jinghai is clear."

Qiao Songnian suddenly realized that if the war had not been tight, the people in the capital were panicked. Even if Lord Peng was supporting Tongzhi on the north bank of Yongding River, Han Xiufeng would not have been able to do anything. He pondered: "The most urgent task is to return to Beijing to take office as soon as possible. As for whether he would be able to go back to take over the family, he could wait until he took office."

"That's all."

"When are you going to leave?"

"Of course, the faster the better." Han Xiufeng in Shanghai didn't want to stay for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Wu Jianzhang: "Brother Daopu, I plan to go on the sea route. Please help me hire a foreign steamer. After all, compared to sand boats, riding foreign steamer is faster and safer."

"It's not a problem to raise your hands." Wu Jianzhang bowed and smiled.

"Thank you, Brother Daopu," Han Xiufeng bowed and replied, "Cousin Jin, I will ask you after I leave."

"This is the Sichuan Association. I am from Sichuan. Taking care of the association is a matter of duty, and it is not a problem." Xue Huan said without hesitation.

"Since there is a boat, there is no need to worry about the guild hall, then I will leave early tomorrow morning." Han Xiufeng weighed the pros and cons, and then said, "Brother Zhou, as usual, I can only bring twenty family members to the office, so the brothers from Jiangbei have to worry about you to take care of you. If they are willing to stay, let them stay. If they want to go back, please let them go back." Computer terminal::/

"Brother Han, your brother is my Zhou Xingyuan's brother. I can't talk about having trouble with my own people."

"Okay, please give me everything."

...

After lunch, he sent Qiao Songnian and others away. Han Xiufeng didn't bother to pack his luggage, but was busy writing letters and preparing silver at the same time.

I am leaving tomorrow and I have to say goodbye to Xu Naizhao and others. When I say goodbye, I have to send a farewell to you. I rushed to the headquarters again. Unexpectedly, not only did I see Xu Naizhao, but Xu Naizhao also asked his followers to take out a letter and send it to the military minister Peng Yunzhang. This letter is very valuable. Even if someone else spends thousands of taels of silver, he might not have been able to get it. Han Xiufeng thanked him before saying goodbye.

Back at the guild hall, Datou, Cuihua, Ren Yuer and Su Jueming had already packed their luggage. Chen Hu and Ji Daji Er, who were determined to follow him, were saying goodbye to other brothers from Lao Tai Yong Camp. Liang Liu also wanted to follow him to the capital, but Han Xiufeng did not give in because he had a family and a small family, so he could not just leave.

Seeing his eagerness to speak but stopping, Han Xiufeng asked with a smile: "Lao Liu, what do you say, brothers?"

"Second Master, you will leave tomorrow. What's the point of staying in Shanghai? So we plan to send you on the boat tomorrow morning. Once you leave, we will go back to Taizhou."

"Everything goes back?"

"Everything is back." Liang Liu knew what Han Xiufeng really wanted to ask, and bowed: "Fourth Master, you treat us as yourself, and Lord Guo is not bad to us. You don't need us around you anymore. We can't covet the little money Mr. Zhou gave you, and forget Lord Guo's kindness for his support."
