Chapter 85 Lonely Mortal
It is impossible to overthrow Huang Wenjin. So, is it possible to help Magistrate Huang build momentum and get him promoted?
The answer is, absolutely.
Everything is going smoothly. Huang Wenjin's official reputation has always been good in the Shuzhou governor's office. The Shuzhou governor has praised Huang Wenjin very much. He has praised Huang Wenjin for two consecutive years. He has been in office in Qingcheng County for six years and has accumulated sufficient qualifications.
In addition, two hundred of Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing's assistants dressed as civilians and knelt in front of the governor's office and sang praises to Huang Wenjin in unison...
Now we are about to enter winter. According to the official system of the Tang Dynasty, at the end of each year, the governors of various regions and the chief officials of prefectures have to conduct administrative evaluations of local officials.
The governor added fuel to the flames and blew Huang Wenjin into flowers.
With the right time, the right place, the right people and the best possible occupation, Governor Pei's letter of commendation and official report to the Jiedushi Mansion of Jiannan Road was naturally born without any suspense.
What Gu Qing did was just push Huang Wenjin gently from behind.
Xianyu Zhongtong looked at the official list sent by Pei Governor of Shuzhou in shock, and then looked up at Gu Qing.
"How was it done? Was every step calculated accurately?"
Gu Qing smiled and said: "There is no one in the world who can predict every step accurately. They just do their best to obey fate."
Xianyu Zhongtong pointed to the sentence at the end of the official list and said: "Chief Pei suggested to me that Huang Wenjin could be promoted to Si Tian, the governor of Shu Prefecture, to join the army and be in charge of farmland cultivation in various counties in Shu Prefecture. Please consider it. Hehe.
, promoted from seventh grade to sixth grade, promoted to one rank.”
Gu Qing blinked and said with a smile: "Congratulations to County Magistrate Huang, Si Tian should go to Shuzhou to join the army, right?"
Xianyu Zhongtong nodded and looked at Gu Qing with a deeper admiration in his eyes.
This young farm boy is quite capable and does things in an eclectic way. Even if he didn't have this porcelain kiln, Xianyu Zhongtong would still be willing to get acquainted with him.
The amazing thing about Gu Qing is that although he knew Xianyu Zhongtong, Gu Qing never included Xianyu Zhongtong in his plan from beginning to end. Everything followed normal procedures. The governor of Shuzhou reported to the Jiedushi Mansion of Jiannan Road that Jiannan
There is a high probability that Dao Jiedushi will approve the proposal of Shuzhou Governor. After all, this is a normal official promotion. It is reasonable and well-founded. No one can give a reason for objection. Huang Wenjin was transferred out of Qingcheng County.
It's a sure thing.
Approval is only a matter of time. According to the current efficiency of the Tang Dynasty officialdom, Huang Wenjin may be officially transferred out of Qingcheng County in the spring of next year. If Gu Qing had not known Xianyu Zhongtong, he would have to wait two or three more months at most.
Looking at Gu Qing's calm face, Xianyu Zhongtong couldn't help but want to be a bully.
"After Huang Wenjin is transferred, what if another county magistrate is sent by the Jiedushi government and still resents your porcelain kiln and continues to seal it? How should you deal with it?"
"From the time when the governor of Shuzhou sent out the official list, to the Jiedushi government's approval, and finally Huang Wenjin's transfer, and the new magistrate of Qingcheng County was sent from above, the process from start to finish will take at least three months, right?"
"Not bad, what next?"
Gu Qing smiled: "Three months are enough for the Zhen Guan Office to designate the porcelain produced in our porcelain kiln as tribute porcelain. The decree issued by Chang'an must reach Qingcheng County before the new county magistrate takes office. Even if the new county magistrate takes office
Later, he disliked our porcelain kiln, and it was too late for him to do anything. The deal was already done. How could he have the courage to oppose Chang'an's edict? How could he have the courage to seal off our porcelain kiln? "
Xianyu Zhongtong took a long breath and sighed.
Gu Qing was able to reverse this incident completely on his own. During this period, he did not use any of his power as the Jiedushi of Jiannan Dao, and he was not even included in any part of the plan.
A young man who is talented and smart enough, but lacks trust in others and is used to acting alone. He is a very magical person.
This is Xianyu Zhongtong’s evaluation of Gu Qing.
"My dear nephew, what else do you need me to do?" Xianyu Zhongtong asked. In fact, there was basically nothing to do. Gu Qing had already done what he needed to do, so this sentence seemed like an afterthought.
Gu Qing said with a smile: "If Uncle Xianyu is willing, he can send the document approving the governor of Shuzhou as soon as possible. Also, it is best to send a new county magistrate who is easy to deal with. Although he is not afraid of the new magistrate sealing the porcelain kiln, he still hopes that
Everyone gets along more happily, but things get tense, which would scare me as a farmer's kid."
Xian Yu Zhongtong laughs out loud. With this ability, would you be afraid?
After thinking for a long time, Xian Yuzhong said: "In this case, I will immediately report to the court and ask the Ministry of Personnel to send a new county magistrate. I will also recommend an old friend to the Ministry of Personnel. He and I were Jinshi in the same year.
We have a close relationship, and with him here, there will definitely be no mistakes in the porcelain kiln. After all, it is also related to my future."
"Everything depends on Uncle Xianyu's instructions."
After a moment of silence, Xianyu Zhongtong said sincerely: "Does my nephew intend to accompany me to the Jiedu Envoy's Palace in Yizhou? I will treat my nephew like a distinguished guest, ask for my favor in everything, and will never treat you as young or look down on you. This time I am sincere.
Please, my dear nephew, how about you think about it?"
Gu Qing smiled and said without any consideration: "Uncle Xianyu, the porcelain tribute has not yet been settled. If my foolish nephew leaves at this time, there may be complications. In comparison, my foolish nephew thinks that the porcelain kiln is more important. What do you think?"
Xianyu Zhongtong nodded, it is true. The importance of the porcelain kiln is currently the most important. He also needs to establish a good relationship with the concubines in the palace through tribute porcelain. This relationship is very important, so the tribute porcelain is also very important.
It was much more important for Gu Qing to stay in the village and keep an eye on the porcelain kiln than to go with him to the Jiedushi Mansion to serve as a minister.
"Then, after the porcelain tribute is settled, how about your nephew coming to Yizhou?" Xianyu Zhongtong's eyes were full of expectations. At this time, he really felt that Gu Qingzhi was qualified enough to serve as the minister of the festival.
Gu Qing still smiled and said: "Thank you for your love from Uncle Xianyu, but my foolish nephew really dare not make a promise to Uncle Xianyu. Things in the world are like water, water has no permanent shape, and things in the world are ever-changing. No one knows whether there will be any changes in the future."
Xianyu Zhongtong sighed: "I really need someone to help me at this time. The day before yesterday, I received a letter from Zhang Qiantuo, the governor of Yunnan. It said that King Ge Luofeng of Nanzhao may be suspected of treason. Please pay close attention to the imperial court. If it is not my intention,
The porcelain kiln of my nephew has already rushed to Yizhou at full speed... He has encountered a major rebellion before he took office, how can I not be worried. "
Gu Qing's eyelids twitched.
Nanzhao finally vaguely remembered the deeds of Xianyu Zhongtong in his previous life. It seemed that he suffered a serious setback in Nanzhao's rebellion. In this battle, more than 60,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty died, almost all of them.
The army was annihilated and it was a very tragic defeat.
But, what can Gu Qing do to help him? He is not a god, and he does not have the ability to reach the sky and escape from the earth. What is important is that he lacks a compassionate heart.
Living his own life and making his own money, the world outside Shiqiao Village is still a strange world that has nothing to do with him.
In his world, there was only Shiqiao Village, Song Gensheng, and maybe Zhang Huaiyu.
