Chapter 228 Good Tea
Jiang Ning has a moderate manner, wide shoulders, narrow waist, long body, and has a beautiful body. He has been a guard by Prince Cheng for a long time. He has an extraordinary status and is indeed extraordinary.
Seeing Shang Jingwang at this moment, Jiang Ning took a step back, bowed and said, "Sir, I am just a guard. My young master is in Baoyue Restaurant and is preparing for a meal!"
When Shang Jingwang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Young Master Jing is in Baoyue Restaurant? Your grandpa is visiting Huainan Mansion and should be the host of this official. Since Young Master Jing has chosen Baoyue Tower, then you should be the host of this official in Baoyue Tower! Please lead the way!"
When he came to Huainan Prefecture, Huangfu Jingchen knew that Shang Jingwang had been in Huainan Prefecture for eight years. After three years, Nanxia officials would be replaced, either promoted or transferred, or even promoted, or even demoted.
Shang Jingwang is 45 years old this year. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 21 and ranked fifth in the second place. He was admitted to the Cultural and Museum Academy and became a Shuji scholar. He was also proud of his youth. However, this man was a straight minister in his early years. He always boasted of being a literati, but he did not know the officialdom and was arrogant. He offended many people with his mouth. In the end, he was mistook him and set a stumbling block for him. He could not stay in the capital anymore. He was sent to a poor and cold place in the northwest of Qinzhou as a county magistrate. After staying for fifteen years, he was finally promoted to the prefecture, which almost wiped out his literati's pride.
Later, he was finally transferred to Jiazhou. Huainan Prefecture, the northern county of Jiazhou, is the poorest prefecture in Jiazhou. There are mountains in the territory, and poor mountains and rivers are out of troubled people, and there are many bandits on the mountain.
Two of the prefects were killed within ten years and one was scared away.
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. He has been in Qinzhou for many years and has managed the local area in a very good manner. When he arrived here, the important thing was to suppress bandits. Shang Jingwang didn't even stay in the government office, so he simply found a temporary place where bandits appeared at the foot of the mountain. He said that the bandits would not be eliminated, so he regarded the temporary place as his home.
The bandits have not been eliminated yet, and their three-year term has come.
But no one was willing to come to Huainan Prefecture, and in the end, Shang Jingwang was re-elected.
He believed that if the people had food and clothing, who would be willing to bear the reputation of bandits? That would be a desperate act.
Since he took office, he has suppressed bandits and committed to local farming development, encouraged villagers to go out to do business, and provided them with business routes, supported them, and improved the barren status quo.
Most of the bandits were born to the people at the foot of the mountain. He also asked the villagers to move their families and relatives to understand them. As long as they were willing to go home and work hard to farm and abide by the law, they would not blame the bandits before. They also set up a secret message. Those who could provide information on the bandits would be highly rewarded.
As a result, the bandits gradually lost space for survival. When they returned home, they had land to plant and food. They would not investigate the previous things, and naturally their hearts were fluctuating.
With this kind of multi-pronged approach, Shang Jingwang took six years to solve the bandit problem.
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 bandits was solved, but Shang Jingwang did not get promoted. First, there was no one in the capital, and second, although he had done a lot of practical things, no one reported his political achievements. If he didn't reach the heavens, how could he get the opportunity to get promoted?
Huainan Mansion was notorious in his early years. Even if the bandit problem was resolved, others were still afraid of it, so they asked him to continue to serve, and this term was almost full again.
Shang Jingwang is not the incompetent and arrogant person who is the first to enter the post, who is arrogant and arrogant when he first arrives in Qinzhou; nor is he who has nowhere to start when he first arrives in Qinzhou, who is as wise as a headless fly, and is incompetent in talking about war on paper.
Half of his life has passed, and he has become more open-minded and has become smarter. His official experiences over the years have polished the edges and corners of his body to a roundness.
When he was kicked out of the capital and went to Qinzhou to be the county magistrate, leaving him with a shame. Needless to say, the No. 1 top scorer of the first place in the first place, the No. 1 top scorer, the No. 2 top scorer, and even the No. 3 top scorer, are now more successful than his official career.
His greatest wish is to be able to return to the capital and become a Beijing official.
But hope is slim.
Shang Jingwang was of course a little disappointed.
At this time, someone suddenly handed over a famous letter, the current emperor's nephew, the second son of Prince Kang's mansion, came here.
Prince Kang is the emperor's third brother. He died early, and his son inherited the throne early and became a leisurely prince in the capital.
That is the son of the prince, the grandson of the emperor, the royal family, and the people who can meet the emperor.
Shang Jingwang was overjoyed, and he vaguely felt that this was probably a turning point in his life.
In fact, he was so anxious that he was seeking medical treatment. In his early years, he had no roots and no foundation in the capital and offended many people. He had no money to manage, so he was even more unlikely to take the lead in the capital. Now, there is such a person who has arrived directly at his Huainan Mansion. Isn’t this a noble person sent to him by God?
He ran to Baoyue Tower and said enthusiastically in Huangfu Jingchen's private room: "Young Master Jing, I don't know that Mr. Jing is really a mistake to welcome you when he comes to Huainan Mansion!"
Huangfu Jingchen poured a cup of tea and smiled faintly: "I am just walking around casually. Wherever I come, Lord Shang's Huainan Prefecture is well managed. The streets are prosperous and the people live in peace. It is a livable place. I like it here!" As he said that, he pushed the cup of tea to Shang Jingwang and signaled him to taste it.
He smiled proudly, handsome young man, noble, and every move he made, he was all the style of a great man and had a bit of pampering and pampering appearance.
After staying in the capital for two months, Huangfu Jingchen had a deal with Huangfu Jingxuan, the cousin of Uncle Kang's family. Now it is not difficult to learn from him. Just pretend to be a little dandy and playful.
"Thank you for your appreciation!" Shang Jingwang was very happy. He carefully stretched out his hands and held the teacup, leaned closer to his mouth, and took a sip.
He was stunned when he sniffed.
What kind of tea is this? It's so bad!
Huangfu Jingchen shook the folding fan in his hand and looked at him with a smile: "How is the tea smell?"
Shang Jingwang didn't frown for a moment, and didn't even pause, and immediately said, "Good tea, good tea, smells fragrant, and it tastes even more fragrant. The tea made by the young master himself is really delicious!"
Huangfu Jingchen smiled.
This years of official career that seemed to be demoted really made him very smooth, and he could even say such unwilling words.
He put away the folding fan, slapped it in his palm, and smiled teasingly: "It seems that Lord Shang's life is so hard, and this kind of tea can be enjoyed. The days when it is released must make Lord Shang's clothes difficult to be expensive and food difficult to be refined. When you are transferred back to the capital to be an official, I will give you some tea to try the real good tea!"
