Jiang Ning has a moderate demeanor, broad shoulders and narrow waist, long body and jade, and has been a guard by the side of King Cheng for a long time, his status is not ordinary, and he is indeed extraordinary.

Seeing Shang Jingwang at this moment, Jiang Ning took a step back, bowed his hand, and said, "Lord Shang, I am just a guard below, my son-in-law is in Baoyue Restaurant, and he is preparing to eat!" ”

Shang Jingwang heard this, and hurriedly said: "Jing Gongzi is in Baoyue Restaurant? Gongzi came to Huainan Mansion with a big ride, and he should be the official to be the east, since Jing Gongzi chose Baoyue Building, then the official will be the east in Baoyue Building! Please lead the way! ”

When he came to Huainan Mansion, Huangfu Jingchen knew that this Shang Jingwang had been in Huainan Mansion for eight years. After three years, the officials of the Southern Xia Dynasty would be replaced, either promoted or transferred, or even demoted if they were not evaluated but evaluated.

This Shang Jingwang is forty and five this year, twenty-one years old in the scientific examination, the fifth place in the second class, and entered the Institute of Culture and Museums to become a Jishi, which is also considered a spring breeze, but this person was a direct minister in his early years, and he has always prided himself on being a literati, but he will not be the same as officialdom, and he is arrogant and arrogant, and there are many people who offend him with a mouth, and finally he was remembered, and he was stumped, and he couldn't stay in the capital, and was sent to the barren and bitter cold land in the northwest of Qinzhou to be a county order, and he stayed for fifteen years, and finally promoted to the mansion, and his literati arrogance was almost grinded.

Later, he was finally transferred to Jiazhou, Huainan Mansion in Jiazhou North County, which is the poorest province in Jiazhou.

The successive governors were killed two and scared away one within ten years.

Shang Jingwang, the mansion that had to be moved in Qinzhou for many years, was stuffed here with ulterior motives.

However, Shang Jingwang is indeed capable, he is also a capable minister, Qinzhou has been in the place for many years, and the local governance is impressive, when he arrives here, the important thing is to suppress the bandits, this Shang Jingwang does not even live in the government, so he simply found a temporary place in the place where the bandits haunt the mountain bandits at the bottom of the mountain, saying that if the bandits are not removed, he will take the temporary location as his home.

The bandits have not yet been eliminated, and the three-year term has arrived.

But no one in Huainan Mansion was willing to come, and in the end, Shang Jingwang was re-elected.

He believes that if the people have food to eat and clothes to wear, who wants to bear the infamy of bandits? That's all a desperate move.

From the very beginning of his tenure, he devoted himself to the development of local agriculture while suppressing bandits, encouraging villagers to go out to do business, providing them with business routes, supporting them, and improving the barren situation.

Most of the mountain bandits were born from the people under the mountain, and he asked the villagers to be affectionate and reasonable to their families and relatives, as long as they are willing to go home to farm with peace of mind and abide by the law, they will not be guilty of the previous bandits. There is also a secret road, and if you can provide information about the bandits, you will be rewarded.

As a result, the mountain bandits gradually lost their living space, and when they returned home, they had land to plant and food to eat.

With such a multi-pronged approach, it took Shang Jingwang six years to solve the problem of mountain bandits.

Of course, he has not experienced dangers over the years, but he has resolved them one by one, and he is really a capable minister.

The problem of mountain bandits was solved, but Shang Jingwang was not promoted, firstly, he had no one in Beijing, and secondly, although he had done a lot of practical things, no one reported his political achievements, and if he did not reach the heavens, where did he get the opportunity to be promoted?

Huainan Mansion was notorious in the early years, even if the problem of banditry had been solved, others still talked about it, so he continued to be in office, and this term of office was almost full.

Today's Shang Jingwang is not a newcomer to the iron bones, pretentious and high-minded, and looks at people's talents and arrogance with his nostrils; It's not that when I first arrived in Qinzhou, I had nowhere to start, I was like a headless fly, and I was incompetent to talk on paper.

Half of his life has passed, he has seen it openly, and he has learned to be smart, and his officialdom experience over the years has polished the edges and corners of his body to be rounded.

When he was kicked out of the capital, he slipped away to Qinzhou as a county magistrate, which made him lose his face. At the same time as him, it goes without saying that the first-class champion is eye-catching, the second-class is not as good as his ranking, and even the third-class is now more prosperous than him.

His greatest wish is to return to the capital to be a Beijing official.

But there is little hope.

Shang Jingwang was of course a little disappointed.

At this time, someone suddenly handed over the name post, the nephew of the current emperor, the second son of King Kang's mansion, traveled to the mountains and rivers, and arrived here.

Lao Kang is the emperor's third brother, who died early, and his son inherited the throne early and became an idle prince in the capital.

That's the son of the prince, the holy nephew, the royal family, and the person who can see the emperor.

Shang Jingwang was overjoyed, and he vaguely felt that this was probably a turning point in his life.

In fact, he is also sick and rushed to the doctor, in the early years in the capital without roots, and offended a lot of people, he has no silver dots, let alone take the line of the capital, now well, there is such a person directly to his Huainan Mansion, isn't this a noble person sent to him by God?

He trotted to Baoyue Tower, and in the private room of Huangfu Jingchen, he said enthusiastically: "Jing Gongzi, I don't know that Jing Gongzi came to Huainan Mansion, but he really lost his welcome, and he lost his welcome!" ”

Huangfu Jingchen poured a cup of tea and smiled faintly: "My son is just walking around at will, and he is happy, Lord Shang's Huainan Mansion is well governed, the market is prosperous, and the people live in peace." It's a place to live, and I love it! As he spoke, he pushed the cup of tea to Shang Jingwang and motioned for him to taste it.

He smiled proudly, handsome, extravagant, every gesture was everyone's demeanor, and he had a bit of pampered look.

After staying in the capital for two months, Huangfu Jingchen dealt with Huangfu Jingxuan, the cousin of Uncle Kang's family. Now it's not difficult to learn from him at all, just dress up a little bit and be playful.

"Thank you for your appreciation!" Shang Jingwang was very happy, carefully stretched out his hands to pick up the teacup, brought it close to his mouth, and took a sip.

After this mouthful, he was stunned.

What kind of tea is this, it's so unpalatable!

Huangfu Jingchen shook the folding fan in his hand and looked at him with a smile: "How does the tea taste?" ”

Shang Jingwang didn't frown, didn't even pause, and immediately said: "Good tea, good tea, smells fragrant, it tastes even more fragrant, the tea made by the son himself is really delicious!" ”

Huangfu Jingchen smiled.

These years of seemingly degrading officialdom have really sharpened him so smoothly that he can even say such things against his will.

He put away the folding fan, tapped it in the palm of his hand, and said with a teasing smile: "It seems that Lord Shang has a very hard life, and this kind of tea can also be sweet." On the days of release, it must have made it difficult for Shang to wear expensive clothes and eat hard. When you are transferred back to the capital as an official, my son will send you some tea so that you can taste the real good tea! ”

Shang Jingwang's old face turned red, and then his eyes lit up: "Back to the capital?" ”
