The emperor said: "The knowledge in this place is great. If he wants to go further, he has to know how ordinary people should be managed, how aristocratic families should be managed, and how local wealthy families should be managed. Only when the emperor is far away and away from the festival.

In the place where the governor is the governor, he can fully rely on his own strength and wisdom to blend in and fight against these people, so that the connections and reputation he cultivates 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 the ministers, his weight is much greater 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 Heshu was involved too much behind his back, and he didn't know what would happen in the future. But although Bai Shan was born in a noble family, he had been growing up away from his family. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, he may be the purest one.

The emperor thought to himself, if he is not crooked.

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 matter and said to the prince: "Bai Shan is still young and still has the enthusiasm of youth. Where do you think he is going?"

Better?"

The prince said: "Since he doesn't choose the position himself, let's see where the next vacancy is and assign it to him directly."

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at him and said, "That's not how you raise talents."

The queen smiled, added a bowl of rice to them, and said, "Let's talk after dinner."

Bai Shanze left the palace after finishing what he was doing. As a result, he was stopped by a carriage just after he left the imperial city. Magistrate Guo opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Master Bai, the weather is nice today, why don't we go together?"

A meal?”

Bai Shan understood after thinking for a while, so he smiled and nodded.

When Magistrate Guo saw it, he took the initiative to lift the curtain of the carriage and invite Bai Shan inside.

Bai Shan handed the horse to Magistrate Guo's entourage and stepped onto the carriage himself.

Magistrate Guo smiled and asked, "Where would you like to eat, Mr. Bai?"

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Wait a little longer."

Magistrate Guo: How long does it take to find a place to eat? Zhuangyuan Building, Jiufu Building, just pick one, and he will definitely not blink an eye.

It's just that Bai Shan thought for a long time. He didn't even think about it even after the carriage passed a mile, and then the carriage was stopped.

Magistrate Guo heard a familiar voice in the car: "Why is Mr. Bai's horse here with you?"

Magistrate Guo:......

He raised his head and looked at Bai Shan quietly.

Bai Shan smiled at him, opened the curtains and said, "I'm here."

Man Bao dismounted, stepped forward curiously, made eye contact with Magistrate Guo in the car, and asked in confusion: "Why are you together?"

County Magistrate Guo has returned to normal, and said with a smile on his face: "The weather is nice today, and I met Mr. Bai by chance, so I would like to invite Mr. Bai to have a drink with me."

Man Baoxin is the only one who has ghosts. Don't they encounter each other by chance a few days every month?

Why don't you see him inviting her?

Magistrate Guo smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I met Mr. Zhou today. This is fate. Let's go have a drink with Mr. Zhou?"

Man Bao glanced at Bai Shan, who nodded slightly to her.

So Man Bao handed over his horse to Magistrate Guo's entourage, and soon there was another person in the car.

Bai Shan picked up the teapot in the car, poured her a cup of tea, and asked, "Are you alone?"

"No, there are two doctors and assistants, Duan, but I asked them to go back first."

Bai Shan asked smoothly, "How is Master Zheng's injury?"

"I no longer need to shave my hair. I can keep it long. The trauma has healed, but the congestion inside has not completely dissipated. I still have some problems talking now."

Magistrate Guo also became serious and asked: "Master Zhou, do you think 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 the Xingnao and Qiaoqiao injections tomorrow and question him."

Having been officials in the same dynasty and having served together for many years, Magistrate Guo still knew Zhou Man's level, so he nodded slightly.

Magistrate Guo glanced at Bai Shan, smiled slightly and said, "Master Bai, have you thought about where to eat?"

Bai Shan smiled and said: "Since it is Mr. Guo who is treating the guests, it is natural that Mr. Guo will choose. We guests can do as they please."

Magistrate Guo did not hesitate, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Let's go to Jiufuluo. I heard that Jiufulu now has fresh lotus seeds to eat. Due to the hot summer, they have specially developed several dishes to relieve the heat. Let's go and try it.

Give it a try.”

Man Bao nodded repeatedly, "It's a bit hot. My sister-in-law said that the store won't make steamed pork tamales since the beginning of the month, but the new cold noodles are very popular."

Bai Shan nodded and asked County Magistrate Guo: "Does Jiufulu have cold noodles?"

Magistrate Guo: "...Yes."

When the three of them arrived at Jiufuluo, the entourage brought their own carriages and horses to settle down. The men recognized Magistrate Guo, as well as Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and immediately came forward to greet them.

Magistrate Guo requested a private room, and the three of them sat at a spacious table to order.

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.

It was so generous that Bai Shan and Man Bao were embarrassed to add anything more, so they said to the waiter who reported the name of the dish, "We don't have anything to add."

Magistrate Guo laughed and said, "Master Bai and Master Zhou, please don't be polite to me."

Bai Shan smiled and said, "It's not that you're being polite, but Mr. Guo has ordered enough. Any more would be extravagant."

County Magistrate Guo smiled when he heard this and said, "This is very true. You are worthy of being someone close to your Majesty. I will punish myself with a drink."

Manbao had already started writing and revising her book today. She was using her brain too much. She was a little hungry at this time and didn't want to use her brain. Seeing that there were beans and pastries on the table, she didn't want to eat the pastries to fill her stomach, so she used her chopsticks to stir-fry them.

Eat beans.

As for why County Magistrate Guo invited the couple, oh, no, it was to invite Bai Shan to dinner. Let Bai Shan handle it completely. She concentrated on eating.

Magistrate Guo glanced at her twice at first, but seeing that she was so focused on eating, he 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 food was served, Manbao ate more attentively. Only then did Magistrate Guo mention the vacancies in Chang'an and Wannian counties while eating.

He is still the magistrate of Wannian County, but it is already foreseeable that he will leave office, but no one expected that the magistrate of Chang'an County will leave office earlier than him.

Bai Shan thought about it and found that this matter was not a secret. In the afternoon, he had already written down a copy of the official document about the promotion of the Tang County Magistrate and sent it to the Menxia Province for review. Although he did not know whether it was reviewed or not, Mr. Wei was also present at the time, so he did not express any objection on the spot.

, then this matter is 99% certain, and it is only a matter of time before it is reviewed.
