After hearing Xu Ping's words, Li Gan was silent for a while. After a while, he said, "Ducao, I have been taking care of me since you arrived at Jingxi Road. I am grateful. The fastest update is that I am not from a Jinshi, and it is not easy to be a judge. Going further, to be honest, I dare not think about it. The money and grain test in the state is too poor, and the board fell on me, and I have nothing to say. However, why do Ducao need to seize Li Xianggong? He is an elder and important official. If you report it to the court, you will not demote his official position. It will have no influence on him. Instead, he will lose face. Now, Lu Xianggong of Chaoli has bad intentions towards Jingxi Road, especially Ducao. At this time, having an old minister like Li Xianggong said a few good words to Ducao, which will be of great benefit to Ducao!"

Xu Ping looked at Li Shen and suddenly smiled: "My duty is to take the imperial examinations all the way, and it is my duty to take the capital and county money and grain. The states do whatever they want. If I do it from it, how will others see me? If I want to convince people, the first is to be honest. I have a clear conscience on this point. The second is to be a public official. If you are unfair in dealing with things, no one will believe what you say. If I ignore Mengzhou, how do the officials of other prefectures and counties in Jingxi Road view me? Is my test language useful? Mr. Lu is not kind to Jingxi Road. The first thing I need is the officials of Jingxi Road to work together to overcome difficulties with me! Mr. Li has weight in speaking in the court, but this weight is far from the weight of the officials of Jingxi Road."

This answer was obviously beyond Li Shen's expectations. What he feared most was that Xu Ping was angry because of Li Di's neglect last year. Unexpectedly, Xu Ping thought about winning the support of officials from Jingxi Road. But is this support useful?

The two have different statuses, so the direction they think will be different. For Xu Ping, with the support of the emperor in the court, Li Di, the support of a former prime minister, is optional and cannot bring any direct benefits to him. What he needs is Li Di's support for the new policy of Jingxi Road. But the problem is that Li Di has expressed his opposition, and now it is the result of opposition. How can Xu Ping not deal with it strictly?

Seeing that Li Shen was about to talk again, Xu Ping raised his glass and said, "Let's drink one, and talk while drinking."

Putting down the wine glass, Xu Ping said again: "Qingchen, have you actually thought about it? Maybe Mr. Li won't want me to let go easily?"

Li Shen was stunned: "How could it be? A former prime minister and a former Privy Councilor were the worst in the country's assessment under his rule. How could he have the face?"

"It is a foregone conclusion that the worst money and grain in Mengzhou and Xiangzhou are the words of Lu Xianggong reposted by Mr. Yan, who were all transferred by officials from various prefectures and counties on Jingxi Road, not including Mengzhou and Xiangzhou. Everyone knows the world, what is the point of concealment? Zhang Taiwei of Xiangzhou may really want me to let it go easily. He is a warrior and has always been sleek and slanderous. It is not surprising that he has this idea, and it is really possible to demote him. But Li Xianggong is different. He is the top scholar and was once an imperial teacher. You said it well. Even if I pass the imperial examination and get to the court, most of them will not demote Li Xianggong's official position. But can Li Xianggong be stubborn on his own?"

Li Shen was silent for a long time. Thinking about it carefully, if Xu Ping, a junior, was really unable to afford to lose this person.

Xu Ping said again: "And everyone in the world knows that Li Xianggong is straightforward, one is one, two is two. If he knows that we are discussing such a thing here in private, I am afraid we will not be able to introduce us!"

Li Di is a bit rough and straightforward, and he is not upright. Li Shen asked Xu Ping to flatter him like this, which was clearly a slap on the feet. When Lu Yijian was excluded from the court, the most important thing was to leave Zhao Zhen with an impression that he was not capable. At least in Zhao Zhen's opinion, Li Di's ability is far inferior to Lu Yijian. But in Zhao Zhen's heart, he had no doubt about Li Di's loyalty, and was the group of people he trusted the most. Zhao Zhen was the crown prince and Li Di was the crown prince's teacher. This relationship was not comparable to that of others. Therefore, Xu Ping and Li Shen both believed that no matter what this examination was, Li Di's official position would not be affected in any way.

After thinking for a long time, Li Shen finally sighed: "Maybe Du Cao said it right, but I have been very kind to Mr. Li in the past two years, and I feel uncomfortable in this result."

"It is a rare opportunity for the Qing ministers to be valued by Gao Gong Li. It is not surprising that they think so. Okay, let's not talk about this, let's drink. After visiting Mengzhou in the past two days, we will go back to Luoyang City with me and establish the Dharma of the ages with peace of mind."

The transshipment officer will not take more than five days in one place. In the most part, Xu Ping left Luoyang for only ten days at most. In the past few days, other personnel just asked to sort out their ideas in Luoyang Xiancheng. After Xu Ping returned from Mengzhou, he would start to do his best.

Lin Suniang went to Songshan to pray for blessings because she was pregnant. I don’t know what words she used, so she told Yan Shu’s eldest daughter to walk with her. Yan Shu, who had nothing to do, went with her.

There is also a daughter, and Xu Ping understands Yan Shu very much. In this year, once the daughter gets married, especially if she marrys an official like Fu Bi, she travels around. The father really doesn't know when and when will he meet her daughter again. This eldest daughter has been the most loved by Yan Shu since she was a child. This time she has the chance, so she naturally has to try to get together as much as possible. If Xu Ping, if Panpan married one day, she would be reluctant to leave when she encounters this kind of situation, let alone going to Songshan under the rule of Henan Prefecture, she would go to Mount Tai as well.

The night gradually became deeper and colder. The big wood in the fire next to it was burning, and the fire was booming, making the surroundings warm. The pork dripped off the fire, and it sounded sizzling, and a small stream of clear smoke rose from time to time.

After eating a piece of meat that was soaked with oil everywhere, Xu Ping wiped his mouth and said with satisfaction: "It is said that the pork in Mengzhou is the best in the world, which is really not a false statement. I have a farm in Zhongmu, raising sheep and horses, and raising cattle and pigs. Last year, the people in the farm came to Mengzhou to buy some piglets and went back. I don't know how it was raised. If it is well raised, the people in the capital will have a good taste."

Li Shen said: "I have also heard of Zhuangzi in Ducao. Speaking of which Zhuangzi is famous in nearby prefectures and counties. I don't know how many people want to learn to build one. However, there are many people who have learned it, but I haven't heard anyone really learn the essence."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "What's the essence? My farm is a small farming and farming service in my family. In the future, Wang Junrong returns to the capital and his ministry is free, so it's easy to build such a farm!"

After hearing this, Li Shen smiled and said, "If I say this, I would be a little envious of Wang Junsheng's ministry."

"Don't be envious. This time, as long as you understand the governance of Jingxi Road and write a book, you will understand everything. If you just don't think about it or do it, and if you really think about it and do it, then there will be nothing difficult."

Xu Ping's manor actually has no secret. The key is his small techniques and techniques he brought from his previous life. Of course, the most important thing is his philosophy. His farm was built according to the operating rules of the commodity economy. How many landlords in this era can figure this out? They even want to produce everything in their own farm and plant everything, so their ability to make money will naturally not be able to do it.

While Xu Ping and Li Shen were having a lot of chatting, Tan Hu on the side suddenly said, "Oh, isn't it because Mr. Li is here?"
