I don’t know if it was Wu Jianzhang’s intentional leak. When the local gentry heard that Han Xiufeng was going back to Beijing, they rushed to build two umbrellas of people overnight. When Han Xiufeng brought his family to the dock, not only were the local gentry almost all came, but even the people nearby arrived after hearing the news.

The "Mr. Merchant Ship" Yu Taifeng and other gentry held the umbrellas of the people and begged Han Xiufeng to reward him. The people could not squeeze forward and could only kneel down to thank him "Han Qingtian" and "Master Qingtian"... Although they can be made like this, although they are not unprecedented, they are rare.

Han Xiufeng was moved and grateful, and hurriedly bowed to the elders of Shanghai. Unexpectedly, after the bow, the respected gentry leaned over to take off his cotton shoes, took off his head, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers. This was the hope that he would stay at the official position. Han Xiufeng didn't know whether it was arranged by Wu Jianzhang or the heartfelt ones from the parents and the villagers, but he had already reached this point and could only bite the bullet and receive this gift.

When the news reached the temporary office of Susong Taidao in the north of the city, Yang Nengge was so angry that his face turned pale. Lan Weiwen, who came to report the declaration, felt sad and thought that he had both donated money and failed his job. Why could a person named Han win such a good official reputation?

When Xu Naizhao heard the news, he not only laughed, but immediately decided not to inspect the battalions. Instead, he asked Wu Xu and Sun Feng to inspect the porridge farms in the west and north of the city. After the porridge farms, he went to inspect the several shacks built by the Relief Bureau for the homeless people.

Just as the people sent "Han Qingtian" away and began to thank the governor again, Liang Liu led more than 70 brothers from Lao Tai Yong Camp to hurry back.

They were also riding on a "supporting boat" of foreigners, and they were also hired by Wu Jianchang. Not only did they buy New Year's goods in Shanghai, but also the first batch of foreign guns and gunpowder that Wu Jianchang was entrusted by Han Xiufeng to help buy. Wu Jianchang's friend Huang Yunsheng didn't even plan to celebrate the New Year in Shanghai, so he went to Yangzhou with them.

The "Striving Boat" sailed far faster than the sand boat. It took only two and a half days to arrive at the pier in the east of Yangzhou City.

Suddenly, a foreign ship came. The soldiers who were stationed outside the city were frightened. It was not until Liang Liu and others carried the boxes ashore that the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Lianghuai Salt Transport Office and Huai Yangdao Yamen did not return to Yangzhou, Guo Peilin had led the Salt Cave Camp and Miaowan Camp to Yangzhou, and was fully responsible for the aftermath.

It is better to say that it is to rebuild it rather than to say that it is aftermath.

The once prosperous Yangzhou City is now empty, and has become a ruined wall. Beggars with yellow faces and ragged clothes can be seen everywhere, starving, frozen or sickly corpses of people everywhere.

Liang Liu and others were secretly frightened when they saw it. Until the brothers in the Salt Catch Camp who led the way stopped and said that he realized that the former Lianghuai Salt Transport Office was still there and had not been destroyed by the war.

"Lao Liu, why are you back?" Pan Er hurriedly walked out and asked.

"Report to Mr. Pan, it was Mr. Fourth Master who asked us to come back. What about Lord Guo? Is Mr. Guo here?"

"I'm meeting the magistrate of Ganquan. Come in first, let's talk about it."

...

When Guo Peilin heard that Liang Liu was back, he was also shocked. He sent the magistrate of Ganquan away in a few words, so he called Liang Liu to the lobby and asked about the situation in Shanghai.

He never expected Han Si to be demoted to be a Tongzhi on the north bank of Yongding River, and he did not expect that Han Si would not forget to do the gun even if he returned to Beijing. After reading the letter that Han Si asked Liang Liu to send back, he summoned Wu Jianchang's friend Huang Yunsheng. He asked a few questions about the battle situation in Shanghai and Wu Jianchang's current situation to show his attention, so he asked Liang Jiu to take people to test the gun, and then pay Huang Yunsheng the gun money after he finished.

Han Si passed this level without any danger. Unlike Zhang Yiguo who was almost sent to Xinjiang to play, Pan Er was naturally happy, but he still muttered: "The fourth brother is really good. What's wrong with returning to Beijing every day during the New Year? Even if you walk on the sea, you can go ashore at the corner. No matter how anxious you are, it won't be bad for these three or five days!"

Han Si left like this, Guo Peilin also felt a little regretful. He looked at the letter Han Si asked Liang Liu to send, and looked up and said, "I didn't expect Xu Naizhao would ask Lord Peng for him. Lord Peng asked him to act as Tongzhi on the north bank of Yongding River at this time. It was probably for him to lead troops, otherwise he would never be allowed to return to Beijing to obtain the New Year."

Pan Er couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Guo, what's the confession you apologize is not in vain!"

"I don't know if there is any such thing as "I didn't blame me for recommending the wrong person anyway." Thinking that Liang Liu and other village heroes could set up a checkpoint with the county magistrate named Zhou in Shanghai, and they were so popular that they could drink spicy food, but they did not forget to give me some support to serve, Guo Peilin was filled with emotion and was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Changsheng, you are ready to go back to Beijing after the New Year."

"Mr. Guo, what should I do when I go back to Beijing? There are a lot of things in Yangzhou. Besides, Changmao has not returned to Jiangning. They are still entrenched in Guazhou. What should you do if I leave?"

"I'm short of people around me, but it's natural for you to go to the capital to make you go."

"Mr. Guo..."

"Listen to me," Guo Peilin looked at him with a smile and explained patiently: "Changsheng, although you don't have an official position, you won't be considered an official after all if you don't register with the Ministry of Personnel. Now there are so many vacancies, which is just an opportunity. It's better to recommend you than to recommend others."

"Mr. Guo, are you planning to recommend me and ask me to go to the Ministry of Personnel to obtain the custody?" Pan Er asked subconsciously.

"Although the corner slant is small, most of the soldiers in the Salt Gang battalion come from the corner slant, and the corner slant is close to Hai'an, so I'm not relieved that the ambassador of the Salt Course Department of the Kok Slant Field asked others to do it. I can only feel at ease if you go." Guo Peilin smiled and continued: "Recommendation is recommended, but it is not easy to receive the official position smoothly. The letters of the Ministry of Personnel are very difficult to deal with. Zhixing just happened to return to Beijing, and it should be easier to handle your affairs with him."

How could Pan Er not know Guo Peilin's good intentions? After all, even if he donated a top belt before the registration of the Ministry of Personnel, he would not be considered an official. He could only serve in such an injustice, but he could not be prosecuted by the Commission like those alternate officials distributed to Jiangsu. What's more, the recommended ambassador of the Jiaoxichang Salt Class Department, who is a regular seal official who is similar to the county magistrate!

Just as he didn't know how to thank him, Guo Peilin continued: "Liang Liu and the others don't even come back to serve the errands for setting up checkpoints and drawing cards. During the Chinese New Year, they must be allowed to go back to reunite with their families. You can go back to Hai'an with them later."

"What are you doing in Hai'an?"

"Go and ask Wang Qianli whether Yu Qinghuai and Li Zhiyong are willing to become officials. If they want, let them prepare and go to the capital to invest in the New Year with you. But they are different from you. They are all from Jiangsu. I don't know what shortcomings can be made up for and which province they will be distributed to."

"If I have to wait for the monthly election of the Ministry of Personnel after I submit the offer, I guess they won't go."

"They have made military achievements, and their belts were granted by the emperor. Besides, the court is on the verge of employment. As long as they are willing to go to the Ministry of Personnel to submit their offerings, they should not have to wait like other candidates."

"If you encounter a vacancies, make up for them, and use them first?"

"If you want to make up for the lack, it will not be that easy to replenish it first, but if Zhixing can help you think of a solution, it will not be difficult to directly distribute it to each province without waiting for so long."

Thinking of the rules of choosing and appointing officials, Pan Er couldn't help asking: "Mr. Guo, what can my fourth brother have?"

Guo Peilin pointed to the letter on the table and said confidently: "He had no choice in the past, but it was no choice now. You don't think about who was the Tongzhi on the north bank of the Yongding River that he was going to do soon. Lord Peng will definitely summon him. How could he not understand what this means? In short, if something happens in the future, maybe even I would ask him to help you speak with Lord Peng."

Only then did Pan Er realize that Han Si had fallen into a blessing in disguise and climbed up Gao Zhi, the Minister of Military Affairs, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Guo, after hearing what you said, I found that it is true. The opportunity must not be missed. I will never come again. I have to persuade Wang Qianli and the others."

"If they all go to Beijing to invest in the capital, I really feel reluctant to let them go, but since they have this opportunity, they have to help them and cannot let others serve my Yunshuo Department for nothing."

"Mr. Guo, if those adults value love and righteousness as you, they are really kind to their subordinates, and officials and gentry can really be united. Who can't use their lives? Why worry about being unfair to grow hair!"

"Okay, okay, why do you even learn to flatter? Hurry up and pack your luggage and go back to Hai'an with Liang Liu and the others. Wait, go to Mr. Qian's place to get 400 stagnant of money and give some rewards to brothers who have returned from Shanghai. When they go back to celebrate the New Year, they must buy some things for their wives."

"Mr. Guo, you are really polite to your subordinates. But you didn't see that they brought back a lot of things in big bags and prepared several loads of New Year's goods for you. You can tell at a glance that you have made a lot of money in Shanghai!"

"One code is one code, that's what they earned by themselves. I rewarded it, so hurry up and do it."

"As for orders," Pan Er bowed and walked outside the lobby and turned back. He actually raised the corner of his clothes and knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Mr. Guo, Hai'an said it was not far away, and he said it was not close. I can't catch up with it this year. I can only give you a few heads first, and I wish you an early year...

Guo Peilin didn't expect that he would come out, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Changsheng, Changsheng, you are becoming more and more like ambition. It's really a red one that is close to the red one that is close to the ink one that is black one that is close to the black one that is close to the red one that is close to the ink one that is black one!"

"Mr. Guo, I..."

"Okay, okay, I wish you a prosperous career and all the best."

Pan Er grinned and got up and said, "Mr. Xie Guo Jiyan, Xie Guo's support!"

Guo Peilin waved his hand and was about to let him bastard, Guo Tong walked into the lobby and said, "Master, Mr. Zhang, Zhang Yiguo, ask for a meeting."

"Please."

"Affect the order."

Zhang Yiguo only knew that three officials, including Guo Peilin, jointly issued a memorial to protect him. He did not know that the emperor's decree had just arrived in the morning. He followed Guo Tong into the lobby uneasy. When he saw Guo Peilin, he bowed and said, "Please pay homage to you, sir."

"Sit down and talk." Guo Peilin knew very well that he had not been in good condition for more than a month. He knew that he was resentful in his heart, so he said straight to the point: "Brother Zhang, your affairs have finally come to an end. The imperial edict just arrived in the morning and didn't have to go to Xinjiang to serve. However, the fifth-rank top belt still couldn't be saved. I can only let you continue to be the Yan Governor of my transportation department."

Zhang Yiguo is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to go to Xinjiang from the bottom of his heart, because he died in Yangzhou no matter what others say, it is still a horse-haired body. But if he dies on the way to Xinjiang or dies in Xinjiang with old age, then he is nothing. When he heard that he doesn't have to go to Xinjiang, he burst into tears and he hunched his hands and didn't know how to thank him.

Guo Peilin could understand his feelings, stood up and walked around the case, and sat next to him: "Justice is in the hearts of the people. Are you a greedy person in life and death? The civil and military officials and gentry in Yangzhou are like mirrors. As an official, you will have no regrets in this way. What's the harm in suffering some grievances!"

"Report to Lord Guo, the official will not be wronged."

"You are really dismissed and even almost sent to Xinjiang. How could you not be wronged? But you are an official of my Yunshu Department, and I, Guo Peilin, are not Qishan. Even if you are wronged, you will not be wronged for long. From now on, you are the official of my salt capture camp. Changmao is still entrenched in Guazhou. There are opportunities to make achievements. As long as you win one or two battles, why worry about not being able to restore your post!"
