As May just entered, the rain kept falling, and the sky seemed to leak, and there was no time to see the sun again.

In Taiping County, the main roads are covered with stones, and the drainage ditches on both sides of the road are neat and unobstructed. When the rain keeps falling, the road is still refreshing.

With the end of the Battle of Jiaozhi, many people suddenly appeared in this small county. Not to mention Li Foma, a family of prisoners, but also the loyal ministers under him, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers captured from Jiaozhi.

These people were all broken up and organized into the sugar sugar service. Each commander had to be divided into dozens of people and were under strict supervision. Their first year's wages were paid as usual, but they could not reach their hands. Instead, they served as public money for the team of people who were guarding them, and they would usually have a meal for wine and meat. If they performed well this year and the whole team passed unanimously, they could become probationary personnel of the sugar sugar service, and if they paid half of the wages, they would have no transgressions in another three years, they could become formal personnel of the sugar service and receive wages like others.

According to Xu Ping's estimate, if everything is normal, Jiaozhi may become a county in the Song Dynasty within ten years, and even a large part of the sugar commerce will be moved there. There is no need to form life and death hatred with these prisoners. Maybe one day, these people will become the power of the Song Dynasty to rule Jiaozhi.

In addition to these Jiaozhi people, there are also the Xiang army who is in charge of them. There are still more than 3,000 people gathered in this small county town. In addition to the merchants who rushed to the scene, Taiping County suddenly became much more lively.

After returning from Jiaozhi, the sugarcane business immediately became sufficient. All kinds of rewards were given generously, and the wallets were bulging for a while. Where can I resist being rich? Even though there is rain recently, there are still crowds of people in the street market, and all kinds of businesses are very popular.

Xu Ping handled various affairs. He packed his luggage early and waited for the arrival of the official documents in Beijing and his successor officials. After handing over the transfer, he went back to the capital.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, the Dragon Boat Festival just passed, and the people from Beijing finally arrived.

After taking the official document, Xu Ping was full of reprimand and saw the tone of reprimand. Especially in the end, the inexplicable imperial decree of Daozhou was already full of anger.

Although Xu Ping was just asking him to wait for the imperial edict, he did not punish him, but he did not return to Beijing to wait for the imperial edict, or even to wait for the imperial edict in the same place. What's even more outrageous is that he was not waiting for the imperial edict on Guangnan West Road, but to run to Daozhou on Jinghu South Road. The meaning in it is self-evident.

As the head of a state on the border, Xu Ping held military and political power at this time. Especially after breaking Guangyuan Prefecture and pacifying Liangzhou, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a matter of military and food. First, it is transferred from the local area to avoid accidents, or to put it bluntly, it is because Xu Ping couldn't think of rebellion and punished it again. This mind is really ridiculous. When I issued this order, I didn't know that Xu Ping had even broken the Shenglong Mansion. King Li Foma of Jiaozhi became his prisoner, otherwise there would probably be more small actions that would not be on the table.

After a while of silence, Xu Ping gave a greeting to the successor official.

Pang Ji, the former judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, took over as the sour sugar office and also the Zuojiang Daoxidong Affairs Office. Yu Jing, the former governor of Xinjian County, Hongzhou, took over as the Taiping Army envoy and the Taiping County Affairs Office.

Pang Ji was a Jinshi in Dazhong Xiangfu in the eighth year and a Jinshi in the second year of Yu Jing Tiansheng in the second year. His qualifications were much deeper than Xu Ping. Their coming to take over also shows that Xu Ping's status in this place has increased in the past few years of office.

Xu Ping looked at Pang Ji, who was in his forties, thin, strong and delicate. He had a black beard on his forehead, wrinkles on his face, and a serious face.

This is the Grand Master Pang whom Bao Gong had seen in the opera in his previous life. Xu Ping felt a strange feeling when he looked at him. Fortunately, Xu Ping also liked to read some miscellaneous books in his previous life. He knew that Pang Ji in real history was just the same name as the Master Pang in the opera, and his people and things were completely different.

But none of these matters. What matters is that Xu Ping knew who Pang Ji was. His benefactor was Xia Shun, the current deputy envoy of the Privy Council. When Xu Ping was still farming in the Zhongmu countryside, he had met Pang Ji and even helped Pang Ji, who was then the magistrate of Xiangyi, to manage the rice fields in the county. At that time, Xu Ping was still a civilian, and he didn't know these tricks in the officialdom. Now he has been an official for many years and is no longer that innocent boy.

Pang Ji was not ranked high in the Jinshi. He was first appointed as the General Manager of Huangzhou to join the army and was only a low-ranking candidate. He was far inferior to Xu Ping's first-ranking official general as the Chief Secretary. During his tenure as Huangzhou, Pang Ji showed a strong official position and was highly appreciated by Xia Su, who was then the governor of Huangzhou. Most of his subsequent promotions were related to Xia Su.

It was the Privy Council who strongly advocated the removal of Xu Ping's post. Xu Ping had long known this from the newspaper. After removing Xu Ping, he sent a confidant to come and grab the credit. Xia Shu had a good plan.

As for Yu Jing, he was a Jinshi in the second year of Tiansheng. Ten years later, he became a county magistrate. He was a person without a big backer. He was able to get this position because he had enough qualifications. Moreover, he had good political achievements in his post and was from Lingnan, so no one was more suitable than him.

After seeing Li, Xu Ping looked at Pang Ji up and down and said in a deep voice: "Chengzhi, since we parted in Kaifeng, we have been missing for many years."

At this time, Xu Ping had been promoted after a special order, and his official position was above Pang Ji. All he had removed was his official position. His official position had not changed and he could have an equal dialogue with Pang Ji.

Pang Ji has been an official for many years and has been in the officialdom. How could he not know what Xu Ping is thinking? But now he is just a small chess piece in the hands of others, so how can he make the decision by himself?

Sighing, Pang Ji said, "If I could choose by myself, I really wouldn't want to meet Yunxing at this time. In Kaifeng, you were still a country boy, and I was just the head of a county. In less than ten years, you have become a magistrate of the imperial court, spreading hundreds of miles of land, and destroying a country with a state of soldiers. Since my ancestors, how many people have achieved such achievements in the decades of the Song Dynasty? Yunxing, listen to my words, even if there is a temporary setback, you don't need to be discouraged. The Song Dynasty court will always have you soaring into the sky!"

Xu Ping did not comment: "I hope this will be the case, and I will follow you up with the good words."

The two of them said that Yu Jing came up to greet him. Although he was one term earlier than Xu Ping's, his official position was far behind that of Xu Ping, and he could only meet with his subordinates.

The three of them had seen each other. Xu Ping turned his head to look at an eunuch standing on the other side and asked, "I wonder what the head chief is called? Could it be that there is any decree from the emperor?"

The eunuch was about fifty years old. He looked at Xu Ping, raised his eyebrows and raised his head: "You are a powerful magistrate, but you are not a regular magistrate. You are very tall. You only remember our family at this time? I am Ren Shouzhong, the imperial medicine worshiper. Because you are domineering and illegal in Yongzhou, you have repeatedly refused to listen to the command of the court. The empress dowager's teachings, please ask me to urge you to go to Daozhou to quickly wait for the order!"

Xu Ping looked at Ren Shouzhong and his eyes turned cold.
